Hi All,
I've had my S3 for 2 weeks now, sold my HTC One X for it, should of done it earlier tbh! Anyway one main bug of mine is no lockscreen controls for Spotify, when the HTC One X had it....does anyone know how a fix around this??
Cheers!
Stock? I do not believe the stock rom allows for music controls outside of the stock music player. Not really a bug just an oversight.

Yes sorry it is stock! To get the feature is there a ROM out there that supports it do you know??
It's 'cause Samsung's TouchWiz lockscreen doesn't support the controls, whereas the AOSP one does. A workaround is to enable pattern/password etc. security on the phone which switches the lockscreen to the AOSP one, and should show the controls (at least it does for me with PowerAMP and pattern lock)

doesmt work on my S3 ;/
I get lockscreen controls when using pin code unlock. This happens on Omega V10 but it should be a Android feature and should work on stock roms too.

Just tried it on mine and it works, but I use Holo locker with Nova Launcher for my Jelly Bean theme I have, it's a bit of a pain to get lockscreen controls so I will just have to bit the bullet... Thanks anyway tho!

This worked for me. I used the PIN option because it wasn't working with the Pattern.

Not true at all, I use Doubletwist and i have lock screen controls on my Note 2 stock
People need to stop thinking you cant do anything because you have a stock rom.
Doubletwist gives me lock screen controls , Spotify however does not, so the problem is with the app and not the stock rom

I'm on 4.2.1 and my Spotify is usable from the lock screen. It automatically creates a widget when spotify is playing. I use Omega v44 rom and nova launcher.

I had the same problem with spotify when I switched from an iPhone to a S3.
I wrote "media utilities" , provides notification controls and widgets with cover art. Was a fun little project and works pretty well with apps like spotify and pandora which have not added all of the controls yet.

Sorry should have added a screen shot. Used "Media Utilities" for spotify controls and "Widget Locker" for lock screen replacement.

I've been doing some searching on various sites, all of it fruitless so far, so here I am to ask the hive mind.
I need a music player that has a widget with large-ish controls, say 2x or 3x or so the size of the standard music app widget that comes with CM 7.1 stable. It doesn't need to show album art, but it would be a nice touch to retain the repeat mode icon and shuffle icon, in addition to the standard previous/next/play-pause controls.
Why do I want such a widget? For easier control when I have the Nook propped up on the exercise bike at the gym.
Thanks!
You can look to widgesoid, you can make lot of widget personalization including music control. Mix this with a launcher that allow widget resizing like go launcher or launcher pro..

I tried Winamp's widets, the playback controls were still tiny, as were the stock Gingerbread music players'. I'm running ADWLauncher, and I tried to resize the widgets, but even though I could bring up a resize box, I couldn't get them to scale up.
What about putting the player buttons in the notification power wigets?

Playerpro has really nice widgets even on the lock screen.

I checked the power widget options, and didn't see anything about music player options. Also, I did see the CM options to let the volume button long-presses control the music, but when I tried them, I got no response for several seconds, then the payer went "nuts" skipping forward as fast as it could about 40 times or so.

Unfortunately neither of those are legitimately free. Is there a free option that has large widgets?

cm settings/interface/notification power widget/widget buttons/ , you should see media:skip(next/previous),medialay pause. kind of limited but may serve your purpose.

I purchased both Player Pro & PowerAmp. In my opinion, they're both worth the money.
Try winamp.
I also need such a full screen widget say with 4 rectangle main playback controls so each one would gets placed on every quarter of screen
Or realize an on screen floating D-pad (pretty missing feature on android) scrolling huge lists etc…
It will be much more delicious being combined with #popup-wigdet app
(Dont suggest me trying root-needing features since every devices aint rooted / rootable)
I just upgraded to LA2 stock firmware and love it. I was using JKay mod before to give me "Glass on Secure" before.
Basically, if you have pattern/pin/password lock, you will get a screen without music controls if you're playing music. Only the default NON-secure screen has music controls.
I'm wondering if anyone has a mod / easy way to do this with any lock screen, or specifically the LA2 firmware. I really miss the music controls, but love the battery life and smoothness of LA2.
Anyone have a solution?
Also looking for this. Any ideas?

I was actually searching around and came to the thread where you asked this in November, I was hoping it had been answered already...
lockscreen controls on the screen in portrait music controls disappear leaving only the album cover. In landscape mode the controls appear. Someone already realized this? and has a solution?
I noticed that in all of music apps: Walkman, JetAudio
I noticed it too. I don't have a solution though

Hey guys,
I have an international htc one x+ running stock 4.2.2 not unlocked not rooted.
I have widget lockscreen enabled with brilliant quotes applied as the widget. Now when i play music from the htc music app the lockscreen gets the small 4x1 music widget to switch tracks through lockscreen. This is all fine when am using the htc sense as the default launcher.
But for some reason when i use Aviate or themer beta and play my tracks from these launchers or even access the music app from these launchers the music widget no longer appears on the lockscreen or when it does it just not responds. This also happens when i use the dashlock extension.
Its getting pretty annoying because i want to try these launchers and extensions
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks. Cheers!

I think you should ask the developers of these tools. I'm sure you are not the only one facing this problem, so I'm sure they can help you more.
I was having trouble with a few launchers so i assumed it was a one x+ bug.. :/

Of course it can be a bug made by HTC. They heavily changed some Android code and thanks to it now we have "bugs for free". For example, the default android widget lockscreen allows you to place many widgets on the screen. HTC's modification allows only one widget + it will be hidden if there is no network, low battery or music being played .
You should still ask the app developers about this. Maybe they will at least response "yeah we know it. Blame htc".

Yeah! That whole widget limit thing really sucks. [emoji53]
I have dropped a question to the themer team just waiting for a reply.
I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem. [emoji21]

But if you want to change the music track which is actually playing... Why even unlock the screen? I saw some apps for controlling the music player without unlocking the screen like "wave a hand over the phone to change the track" or "use volume buttons to switch songs".
Using EMUI 4 and latest Spotify. I can't get spotify controls on lockscreen. I've enabled spotify lockscreen notifications.
Which soft. ver?
On B330:
Deezer ok (controls & art)
Google Play Music controls ok, no art
Soundcloud not a pixel :/
Works now, without cover art, only controls. I could swear it didn't earlier.
Can somebody tell me, which music apps can be controlled via Lock screen?
On B180 just default music player and GPlay music are able to be controlled like that.

What have you done?
Otherwise you can use a 3rd part lock screen app (I use next and it works with spotify)

Updating to B330.
But it wasn't there from the beginning.
Try to play a song and to lock then unlock the screen.
Not sure how I have achieved it.
