Galaxy S5 :: Why Music Widget Not Available On Lockscreen
Jul 5, 2015
Since I have updated my Samsung s5 operating system to lollipop it seem that whenever I play music I don't get the music widget on the lock screen. The only way I can change the track is by using the air view feature.
When a screen lock password isn't enabled and a music track is playing the phone will display a little widget at the top of the lock screen with the current song and the ability to skip track without entering the default music application.However when I enable a screen lock this widget disappears.Is there any way to have both a screen lock and the ability to skip song tracks through the lock screen?
After updating my S5 to lollipop, the music player controls on my lock screen are no longer visible. I have to unlock my phone every time in order to skip songs and pause/play.
I have started suddenly getting old android type swype lockscreen with SOS BUTTON in center. I never opened SOS settings. On checking sos settings it is off. How to remove this lockscreen?
I want to change my lockscreen effect,so i changed the lock type to swipe so the lock screen effect appears but it appeared to be locked (shaded in grey).. so what should i do to unlock it?
My Galaxy S5 is no longer showing numbers on the lock screen. It just shows little rectangles and I'm not able to unlock the phone. I've rebooted the phone, but the lock screen still doesn't show numbers.
I'm a returning Android user and I recently got the Galaxy s5 and I'm having a problem with the fingerprint scanner unlock for the lockscreen. I go to settings and then hit fingerprint unlock, it works fine until I try to unlock the phone, it doesn't prompt me to do the fingerprint swipe over the home button... It just lets me swipe the screen and get into the phone... It only works when I swipe the lock icon from the bottom of the screen, it doesn't do it automatically...
I just got my S6 (SM-920FD) however the status bar on lockscreen seems to be white instead of the wallpaper being shown.
It looks like the wallpaper is not extended upto status bar. I also noticed this issue on some apps (which works perfectly on my other devices), its only S6 having this issue.
I have been searching for solution to this issue since a long time, still no luck.. There is this ugly dark filter on lockscreen which ruins the beauty of the wallpaper, which of course can be removed by rooting and installing xposed modules (bright lockscreen). But unfortunately Xposed is not that stable on Samsung roms and i don't want to go through all those bootloops.
How can i make my device wake up when i receive a whatsapp notification, it works fine for other apps (aqaumail, textra) but for whatapp the notification is there, the device vibrates and the led works; but the screen dosnt turn on.
Is there a way to have a notification not show up on the lockscreen but have the icon show in the status bar? All I can find is to either block the notification entirely or hide the content on the lockscreen.

I'm new to Android in general. Have had an iPhone, but owned a Nexus tablet. I overall loved the Android experience on my tablet and got a Galaxy S6 as a phone.
I'm trying to customize my Galaxy S6 lockscreen, and I've run into some issues. I've tried a number of apps to customize the lockscreen, but I cannot find any with a fingerprint unlocking method. Also I would prefer it have an option for multiple fingerprints, but it is not needed. Also, I would like if I could have widgets on there for free.
I was able to download the Captain America Theme, after the theme store being down, but I want to change the lock screen wallpaper only, but every time I change the wallpaper it only affects the home screen.
Firstly, on the clock on the lock screen, when i press the homebutton its like the time isn't up to date. It will change in a split second to the latest time. Why does this happen?
Also when using whatsapp, when the device is locked and i go back into a conversation when whatsapp opens its like the keyboard vanishes and i just see a black box where the keyboard should be. After a couple of seconds, the keyboard appears.
Ive made no changes and dont see any reason why i need to make any tweaks but this is rather annoying. I didnt experience this on using the HTC and quickly frankly im tempted to go back.
Whenever I get a notification that wakes up my lockscreen, usually a text message or snapchat, the screen stays awake until I lock it manually. Very annoying as the screen can be on for an hour straight since I'm in class and it completely drains the battery. Can't use wakelock since I don't want to root my phone, and I've already tried clearing cache partition.
I downloaded the Lollipop update today and was asked if I wanted notification information (text, emails, etc.) on my lockscreen. I marked yes but now do not like the information on the lockscreen, plus it removes some information I do want on the screen (for example the pedometer). How do I change back to no notifications on the lockscreen?
After the upgrade to Lollipop, the weather on the lockscreen is gone. Have tried turning it on and off and many reboots, but can't get it to come back. Seems more people are having trouble with NOT being able to get rid of it.
I activated my android device manager and reset the lock password using findmymobile but when I enter the password it says incorrect. how can I change the pin so I can open my phone?
Getting Google play music when at lock screen as a widget? Whenever I slide the screen to the left when locked I get the music app but no music as I stream all mine through a collection I made up via the play store
I have a rooted Galaxy S5 running stock 4.4.2 KitKat. I want to remove the carrier name from the lock screen (not the status bar). I downloaded Wanam Xposed and while several of the features in it worked, hide carrier was not one of them that did. How I can hide or remove the carrier name on the lock screen?
The Music Widget does not jump correctly to the currently playing track when clicked on. It instead goes to the music library list and on top of that does not go the currently active album, but goes to the beginning of the list. Once in that state if you go back to the home screen and use the music shortcut instead, that too will mimic the widget behavior.The only way to correctly jump to the current track is to have the music player in currently playing view then go to the homescreen and use the music shortcut only. Then It behaves correctly.This is an annoying bug when one is listening to music all day at work every day.

I want to set Google play music as my widget on the lock screen, so I can skip tracks or go back without unlocking the phone. I could swear I used to have it that way, but now am unable to set that back.
If I chose the music lock screen, it only uses the HTC music player app. If I do widget lock screen, I have very few outings to pick from, and Google play music is not an option.
