Lockscreen music controls

FABSP — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:30:12 GMT

Hey,

I have a Z3. Since the last update last week there is a bug with the music controls on lockscreen. It worked fine with deezer or any other music app. Now it only works with the native walkman app.

Is there anybody who has the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have smartkey?

I can't remove it :D. It only appears while playing music.

No I don't have smartkey. Checked that solution already.

Remove the pin lock, pattern lock or password and then check again

Don't have any lock.

Could you elaborate on the problem?

Like I said. There used to appear a widget on the lockscreen. With whom you could control your running music (play/pause, next song, previous song). This widget only appears while the music is running. It worked with any music-player application. Since the update it only works when using the walkman app. I didn't change any settings etc.

Ok so the widget wasn't the walkman app but a third party widget? if that's so, contact the app developer as it might be a compatibility issue.

No. It was/is a native function/widget of the stock-rom of the Z3.

That's quite interesting, do you have a screenshot of it?

Re: Lockscreen music controls

Maybe this picture can help. This is the "widget" running while listening to music with the walkman app. It used to work like this for any application that plays music.

That's the walkman widget.

I have that "widget". No problems after the update.

Indeed the widget should be there, and again that's the Walkman widget.

Check under settings > apps > all > scroll to the bottom, perhaps you disable some apps.

Like I said earlier. It works with the walkman, but the same widget worked with every other music-player app, like deezer etc. Now it does only work with the walkmanapp
