Lockscreen music controls - Huawei Ascend P7

Hello,
When I'm playing music using spotify or any other music player aside from the stock one, music controls still appear at the lockscreen but they do not work. Am I doing something wrong?

No, I have the same problem with every third-parts music player. Controls on the lockscreen works only with stock Huawei music player. (I am on B602)

I have the same issue.
I am using Spotify as my main music player, and lock screen displays what I am playing. So far, so good. When I want to change track though, it switches to stock music player and puts on the classic music which comes with the phone.

Same here. Seems to be a bug in the software.
Is there anyone who found a solution for this problem?

is there seek or scrubber in the lockscreen music control and can someone add a picture of lockscreen music controls

Is that Straight line below the Date and Time a "Scrubber"?

Not sure about the terminology. "Srubber" as in a line which allows you to rewind/fast forward?

No, it isn't. It's just aesthetics. :/

Same problem, Poweramp can be used with its own lockscreen so no problem with it.
Problem comes with SoundCloud, there seems no way to change or pause track if not by unlocking the screen or using Xposed with hardware buttons.

same problem is in mate 7 it is just thing what huawei has no idea .. you have to contact huawei about this ..
they need to fix this..

Well yeah we can use music players with custom lock screens. But some people prefer the stock one

If you use lock patern the controls will work. It won't work on huawei lock only.

Tried it. Not working for me.

Hi, I found a solution without the need to root your device in another forum. Since it's in German, I'll quickly translate the instructions:
In ES File Explorer go to /device/system/app
In that folder, look for the file "HwMediaCenter.apk" and touch to install it
If you get a warning not to install apps from unknown sources accept to install this app and proceed
The installation will start now and finish with an error message, which is to be expected
Restart your phone
The annoying default music player should have disappeared. The reason being that due to the unsuccessful installation attempt it got removed/deactivated.

Thanks, it works !
I had the same problem with Spotify, I had to remove Google Music too.
Maybe it's just about the default music player (It can be set in Settings/Manage apps/Default app settings) but since Spotify is not seen as a music player as such, I had no other choice.
Thanks again.

Thankyou

Do these require the default apps

On my gear I noticed that the quick reply feature for text messages does not work unless you are using the stock app I the note 3. Also the media controller did not work with any app other than the Samson music app. Did I configure something wrong or is that the way it is designed?

can't talk about text replying, but 3rd party music players works for me.
i'm using poweramp and i am able to control music using my gear. it doesn't show albumart though.
just make sure you do not have more than 1 music player installed, as sometimes it goes crazy and it will control music through samsung app...

dont know with the messages, but for the media controller i got a dirty fix that works well in my case.
i only use spotify for music, and a audiobook player app, so i simply froze the stock music app with titanium backup and now it works like a charm for my other apps.
the funny thing was that before i froze it, i could control other audio apps, but i had to first push a button on the media controller, then go to the phone and kill the stock music app, after that it recognized the other audio app..
hope this helps :good:

Metafy doesnt show track after spotify update :(

Hello.

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

2 Solutions
1) If You are Rooted Then Delete Music.apk and Music.odex from /system/app folder
2) If Not Rooted Than Open Settings go to Manage apps .... at the bottom there is written default app settings click on it and then select music player and change the default
Hope it helps

thank you dear
i'm not rooted and tried to make any other music app as a default and problem not solved
I'm rooted and used Rom Toolbox (or any root app manager) to freeze the "Music" app, the only pro of doing this is that you will get the coverart of any music player you're listening to (SoundCloud, Poweramp, etc.) but the controls won't work anyway (it was discussed here).
Solution without rooting

If you can extract the sock wallpaper out, that will be fantastic
Thanks ☺
That looks like it belongs in MIUI v4. Thanks for the APKs though.
Thanks for these - definitely feeling that music player!
Anybody knows how to push user apps as system apps? In lollipop, system apps have their own folders with exact names. And also in lollipop, if lockscreen is secure, no user installed music app could show lockscreen controls access. Could anyone advice the proper name for the folder that must be created in order to make it as a system app?

Change it to a system app using Titanium Backup.
Even setting the app as a system app does not work. I placed pandora as a system app and I am still unable to have the app control access from the lockscreen. Any other suggestions?
This is cool. How'd i wish i can use ColorOs Music app in CM ROm as well. but yeah, thanks for this.

Nubia Music Player

The ZTE Nubia music player is fully compatible with our Axon's. I have always like this player primarily because it gives an on screen volume slider (just swipe up/down within a song context). Plus it gives some cool menu animations and gives a folder view of your library.

Won't install, problem parsing the package. Is this for an earlier version of android?
EDIT: Installs fine, download was initially incomplete.

Not sure but likely since no Nubia's are on 5.1. I installed v1.4.1 and it worked fine for me.

My download was incomplete. It installs without issue. Thanks for sharing. This is the music player that should have been the default for the Axon. The UI is much nicer.
Can anyone download the other skin? It force closes when I attempt.

Force closes for me as well. Is there a way to organize music in order by album? When I go to album view, everything is alphabetical. Have the same issue with the stock music player as well. I like the interface though

I downloaded the app. AXOM ZTE A1. It really works well. It looks for the music in the HiFi File if you are using it on this type phone. Easy to use and the Alphabetical listing is easy and the playing is great. No problems notice on the 1.4.1 latest rom. Thanks.:angel:
