Since the last couple of days whenever my phone is in lockscreen and I control a music app (walkman, soundcloud), pausing or changing the song does change the song that is being played, but the display stays the same (it gets stuck on the current song). It happens both with headphones plugged in and without and deleting app data/cache doesn't help. Also, no 'smart key' installed. Help would greatly be appreciated!

I had faced this issue earlier in one of my devices. Its because I used to clean the apps by swiping them after long pressing the home key.
While playing music, if i swipe and clear all running apps(including the music app), the music player still works. But if I lock and try to control via lockscreen controls, it wont respond!
So thereafter I never used to swipe it out!
give a try!
Thanks for the reply! It did not really help. Also, not being able to kill applications would not really be a solution for me any other advice?

Edit: I found out that the controls and the display work correctly when the camera is running in the background. I have no idea why though..

The stock Music player on the xoom has an interactive notification, as I am sure you all know, where you can control your music while its playing in the background with the little headphones icon at the bottom of the screen. Since the beginning of owning the xoom I have experianced this icon randomly disappearing from the notification bar and not coming back sometimes even after restarting the app.
Does anyone else get this? If so, anyone know a solution?
Ok I get it. Apparently its not a topic of interest. ...just kidding (well sort of)
But really can anyone at least say if they also get this problem from time to time? Iam just curious.

I experience this bug as well. In fact, I am listening to music right now and the notification controller is missing. I am on an Asus Transformer though..

all you have to do is go back into the music player then hit the home button and it should appear, annoying but it works
i get the complete opposite of this. my music icon (aka the headphones) will randomly appear when im not listening to music. it's only started since i flashed my canadian xoom with the US 3.1 firmware
Please help. I need a music app similar / same as Samsung music app in that I can set it to exit / close down in x minutes etc. And also I want to be able to hit exit / end to exit the app. The Apollo app that comes with Sentinal doesn't exactly allow you to do these tasks. I've try winamp, realplayer and various others - none will allow me to do this.
Thanks in advance
If you got tasker.May you can make any music app do that?

Tasker might seem a little tricky actually. My advice is you use Poweramp, It has power-off timer

Thanks guys....I don't know why developers don't include this function. On Samsung stock music player you can set it to turn off / exit in 5, 10,15 minutes etc. and there's an action function button to exit the app....I've tried my music apps and have found none to do this...very annoying.
Hi guys, my concern is I cannot control the music using my earphone. I already dloaded and turned on the music or Walkman option for Smart Key but I still couldn't. Every time I click the button of my earphone it's just launching the Smart Connect. Any idea how to resolve this?

So we are guessing that you are referring to the stock headphones? And what are you trying to control?

Yes the one that's included on the box. The play, pause, the double clicking for the next track and triple clicking for the previous track.
Update: It's a bug on FW .518 as per Sony Forum that's resolved on FW .534. Just gonna update my phone to 4.3 this weekend to fix this.
Hi guys, I hope some can help me resolve my problem. My unit is C6903, Android 4.4.2 .757. Whenever I play a music the music widget on lockscreen is not appearing and also I cannot add additional lockscreen widgets. Again these happen when I am playing a song. Whenever I'm not, I can add widgets on lockscreen. Thiese only started again when I updated to .757 FW but on .168 it's working. Enable widget option is ticked, already tried clearing the cache of the Walkamn Music Widget and Lockscreen on the settings but to no avail. Any response guys would be very much appreciated.
Screenshot for your reference. Take not that the I'm playing a song (the Walkman icon on the notification area).

I tried the Walkman app and noticed a bug as well, the cover doesn't always change when I skip to the next song..
Looks like Walkman has some bugs with this firmware, but it's not a problem for me since I use poweramp, maybe you should give it a try, in my opinion it's much better than Walkman

I prefer the Walkman app Jiyeo hehehe but I appreciate your reply and suggestion. And since we're talking abt the Walkman app, the Facebook Music Like's also gone. Already tried forced closing it but to no avail. Hope they will release the updaye for the Walkman after the Movies.

Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same problem since the .757 update, and both Walkman and Google Play Music are affected. Considering to root my phone to fix the problem (hopefully NUT's rom have this sortet out).
Are you using SmartKey app? I remember when I was using it I had the same problems with lockscreen widget... it wasn't appearing and I could't swipe clock widget as well.
I do not use the Smart key app, but I have tried to install and uninstall it. Didn't do anything. I can swipe the lockscreen widget (had to enable it in settings after the last update), but still no music widget.
The problem is also present with Netflix...

Found the problem! I had an app similar to Smart key (Headset control center https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shengande.degausslabs ).
It does the same thing as Smart key, and when I uninstalled it everything works fine!

And how you had this app installed on your phone? This is not stock app and is not the solution.
It solved my problem. This is not a stock app, but it seems apps with this functionality causes the same problem.

Every time I switch a track or a new podcast it wakes up my screen. Is there a way to disable this? It's never happened on any other phone before.

I am, it happens on Pocketcast too.
I'm using Google Play Music, don't have that problem (tried by leaving app in the foreground with screen off as well as with app running in background in the notification area).
Possible Pushbullet sync issue?
I have this exact issue in Google Play Music when connected to my cars via bluetooth. But it is only when I force switch tracks if it's just playing its fine.
