[Q] Walkman lockscreen issues

Since today my Walkman lockscreen widget is not working properly anymore. It just says "No tracks available" whereas there are plenty
I tried clearing Walkman app's data, rebooting, I even flashed a different ROM and the issue is still there. Switching tracks works, when I press the Play button, it displays the track name, but when I hit Next, it doesn't update or change. When I press the Power button, it doesn't show me the widget automatically like it used to.
Really out of options, any kind of help is welcome. Thanks

I believe it a bug with the clearaudio+ app that's included with some roms.

Well that's just great, since I can't root my (stock) device. Also, on my phone it doesn't work at all, not only when the headset is plugged it.
EDIT: got it working again. In case someone else gets this problem, I did this: started Walkman, paused the song, quit the app and removed it from the recent apps menu. Then I locked the screen, pressed the Walkman icon and slowly dragged it to the right. Now it works again.
I am so confused.
Update: broken again! Damn.

[Q] stock music app in costum roms?

Well, I had enough with my stock rom,
The only thing that stop me from moving on to costume roms is the stock music player.
He is a bit ugly and the sound quality is not that good but he have some great features
Like controlling the volume without opening the screen and the small control menu
In the lock screen witch enable u to do pretty much anything without passing the lock screen.
Both of them r vey useful (like when u in the gym/working out etc..)
So….
1. Is it possible to import it from the stock rom to other costume roms ??
2. Since I think I know the answer (NOOO ) anybody know another music app that can do this stuff?
Thanks…

Do you mean using the volume rocker? I guess that works on every single app

I believe you mean the notification widget? Can't recall the controls being on the lockscreen in stock.. Most apps these days have that function too. 4.2+ ROMs do put your music controls on the lockscreen though! In in CM based ROMs you can also skip to the next song by holding the VOL+ button while the screen is off.
I personally use Google Play Music, and it has all the functions I need. (except for a sleep timer...)
Hope this helps!

I doubt it since alternatives from poweramp to fusion music player all annihilate with no competition the stock music app...

i didn't know that in 4.2+ ROMs all this options are built in so...
i guess all that is left for me is to choose costume karnel and costume rom and flash
thanks ............

Lock screen music controls no longer present.

Hey all, I'm on the latest update there is for my C6903 and I have just noticed the music player controls no longer show on the lock screen when music is playing. It's not the end of the world as my headphones have music controls on them but it seems odd after all this time for them to be gone.
I've tried all the usual methods of adding widgets to the home screen but nothing changes, the clock remains!

Hi,
Do you have SmartKey installed on your phone by any chance? I've noticed that since the last update, the music control widget has disappeared from the lock screen which is quite annoying if you're using a headset with no remote control as I do. The only solution I've come upon until now is uninstalling this app. It used to be that if you disabled the 'music mode' on the app, the music control widget would reappear but that doesn't work anymore.

No problem. This thing drove me crazy once. By the way, I used my Xperia Z1 today and although I have SmartKey installed, the music widget is back on the lock screen. There has been no update since the last time I've used the phone and I haven't changed any of the settings. Quite weird...

Music stops while display is off

This is an issue I've had with stock-based 8.0 ROMs (currently using JanJan's .235). If I'm using any music player, and the screen is off, once the song is over sometimes the next song will not play. As soon as I turn on the screen and show the lockscreen, the next song starts.
Anyone else experiencing this, or found a fix? I'm sure if I use something that forces a wake lock it would fix the problem, but that wouldn't be good on the battery life.

Go into settings\battery - press the three dots top right - power saving exceptions. Add your music player to the exceptions list.

Thanks, I've already done this. It did not fix the problem, unfortunately.

I ran into the same problem: I solved it by not only adding Blackplayer to the Power Saving Exceptions (PSE), but also checking "Wake lock" under Settings/Audio/More". Not sure if other players feature a similar option.
Alternatively, it might be necessary to look for a system process, which is also necessary for music playback and add it to PSE.

Display Sometimes Fails To Update

I've only had he phone a few days, everything is stock (not rooted yet). What I've noticed is occasionally the display gets stuck. Like if I'm using a music player app (poweramp) and it plays to the end of the song and then goes to the next track in the playlist, but the display doesn't change. If I go to the recent apps (overview) and then go right back to the poweramp, it updates the display to the new track. The bug doesn't seem to be app-specific, I've seen it happen with other apps, including system apps.
Has anybody else encountered this? Is there any fix or any ideas? There was an OTA update today, but it didn't make any difference.

I had this happen to me, the way I solved it was to activate the labs feature in Nova launcher (you go into the settings front page of Nova then press and hold the volume down button untill you get a message telling you labs has been activated, then go into labs and toggle the refresh widgets on resume setting, it helps my system work, may help you

Thanks for your response, I tried it but it didn't work for me.
