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.

Hello xda!
I've had Xperia Z and Bluetooth MW1 a couple of months and it only shows "unknown - unknown" in the handsfree display even if title streaming is enabled in PowerAmp.
When i flashed it to CM10.1 it worked fine. But then I flashed to stock, and "unknown - unknown" appears again.
i decided to try ROMAUR, witch is based on a stock firmware and the same problem still exists.
Title streaming works with the original Walkman app. But even if I inactivate it or force a uninstall, it doesnt allow PowerAmp to stream any titles to Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro (MW1).
Does anyone have any ideas why?
Best regards Trehjulingsleffe.
Sorry for my bad english -

Applicable for MW1
makes sure you have "smart connect" installed in the first place
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5zb255ZXJpY3Nzb24uZXh0cmFzLmxpdmV3YXJlIl0.
once you pair it then
Did you install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...4uZXh0cmFzLnNtYXJ0d2lyZWxlc3NoZWFkc2V0cHJvIl0.
other way it will not work

Yes. I've installed both apps above. Otherwise it wont work with walkman player either.
My old Xperia Arc can send Spotify and PowerAmp titles to MW1, but not Xperia Z. I guess it has something to do with Walkman. But i don't want to use Walkman when i bought PowerAmp witch is better by far.

Without installing anything it works fine with Walkman, but it doesn't work with PowerAmp. I emailed the development and no sound from them.

1)Well as long as I am aware poweramp does have not build in - avcrp 1.3. So that could be an issue
2)Sony makes a custom sound driver for the MW1. that is way the smart connect is build in.
3) by installing a cynonomod os you installing a standard drivers which have avcrp 1.3 build in standard version (without sony modification )

Hmm, you may be right on all three points. But isn't it possible to flash something in CWM or TWRP to override the Sony crappy thing? I'm not so good at how it works, and even worse to self make a zip file which could fix this problem.
Just please don't rip me apart and feed me to lions if this has already been discussed, search isn't returning anything.
Couple of days ago I got a notification about Walkman update, so I said why not and clicked update, since it's not my main music player and I don't really care about it. Well, now I started to care because other music apps can't access equalizer anymore. Walkman app is okay, but it lacks functions and the bottom stripe where navigation bar is supposed to appear is annoying as I've replaced the bar with LMT. Can anyone post older version of Walkman please?
Sent from my Xperia Z
Maybe uninstall walkman?
It will revert to the older version.

Silly me. I, for some reason, thought the updates get pushed directly to the system by Sony Uninstalled the update, but seems like something got screwed up on a deeper level. I still can't get equalizer to work with other apps.

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..

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.

Hello,
But with Google Music or Spotify do you have album art on the lock screen ???
Google music work on lockscreen, eventually for Deezer and Spotify but there are other programs that doesn't work like pocket casts and simple radio ...
Did you check all app permissions such as draw over other apps is enabled?
I've checked that also, but no luck, I've made it work only with echo notification.
SOLVED It was my firware I installed EVA-L09C432B180 and now all works from stock
