After I updated my Galaxy S2 to Jelly bean I noticed that the music player controls were removed from the lock screen, is there any way to get it back? Any app that can fix this? or other player?

Make sure you disable any type of password lock in the lockscreen. Then, play some music. Lock your phone, now wake it up and pull down the notification bar. You see the music controls there? Use them & Have fun.

I have a password lock setup on my S2 and when it's locked there is no music player controls when listening to music using the stock music app!
Or am I missing a setting/option somewhere? Thanks

Maybe it's because of the password, have you tried it without the password lock, report your findings.....
Ok, it's there, without the lock!
But may be I was spoiled by HTC devices and iPhone that came before, I want the password lock AND the music control on the lock screen together.
Is there a solution or alternative?
As an alternative i use the Headset Button Controller app that uses short/long press combinations on the headset button to skip, back, repeat, ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work with my Plantronics Savor M1100 bluetooth earphone.
I tried a couple of free apps that claimed to have lockscreen controls and MixZing worked quite well. DoubleTwist has a better interface than MixZing but it didn't show any controls on my S2.
I want to bring to attention 2 Problems that I am facing with my new Galaxy S3:
1. Using the stock music player on the default lock screen (swipe), there is no music control feature to pause and skip tracks when I am listening to music. Now I know that there are 3rd party apps that can do that, but I am pretty sure that the stock music player must be able to do that too, since on my galaxy s it works. Has anyone the same problem and any ideas on how to solve it? I am thinking maybe it's a bug on my phone, and considering to 'manufacture reset' the phone to see if it changes.
2. I cannot find the stock task manager app anywhere. I know how to start the task manager ( hold home button), but the app is not there and neither any widgets. I wish there was a widget, so I can put it on the home screen to save time. Any solutions? ( again, not using 3rd party apps)
Thanks in advance
PS: I am also curious how to get rid of the branding logo (Optus Australia) that shows up on start-up, it really makes it look bad. Any suggestions?
I'm having exactly the same questions.
Has anyone a idea?
You can find the music controls by pulling down the notification bar on lockscreen. Let's hope they fix this in the next update.
Yeah, pulling down the notification bar works, but it's an extra step which is pretty much useless, because you might just as well swipe and unlock the phone. Really hope that Samsung/Google fixes this problem, it's so basic.
Also, the stock internet browser seems to be not perfec either: Flash-related problems can occur, especially when watching youtube using the browser, sometimes it just keeps loading and doesn't play. I got the adobe flash player installed, still no change. Anyone sharing same problems?
same question, is there any way to add a shortcut to task manager other than long press home key ?
If you want task manager you can go Samsung app store you can download it. While you are there download photo editor too.
You get music controls if you use a Pin lock instead of just swipe... Silly, I know, but at least you increase your phones protection too

I have a pinlock and get no music controls at all. Tried all the various settings?
Hi
Is there a way to get the music controls on the lockscreen
It's frustrating to have to unlock the phone every time I want to change song.
/Cheers

I believe there are some threads about this 'issue'. Anyway, try a different music player. I believe Poweramp adds lockscreen controls.
edit:
Oh, and try to put questions in the Q&A topic next time ;-)
After switching the Locksreen from swipe to pattern, i have Musicplayercontrols, at least, when I have music playing.

With stock music player?
No, I use spotify. Tried with stock but that doesn't show up... Sorry.
Thanks for your replys
As I have discovered you can pull down the notifybar and access the controlls if you don't have activated any form of screen/security lock.
it's annoying that samsung killed this feature...
Wow that blows - Have you tried Google Music ?
From lockscreen you can pull down notifications which has controls in it for music

True, but then you have to manually keep the phone awake while driving and such -
Just got my note 2 and so far its amazing. Coming Frommy aokp droid x I noticed there's no music controls on te lock screen. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Or is this something not part of touch wiz?

hmm well I guess you can still swipe down the notification bar and control it from there. As many features as there are for the lockscreen, you'd think samsung would have put that in there. I couldn't find it in the system settings or in music player.
I was surprised that they didn't have anything like that as well, I'm using PowerAmp which offers lock screen controls, as well as pull down menu controls, it can automatically start when your headphones are connected, and can be killed from the pull down menu, unlike the stock music player.
To get the lock control change it to any other lock screen. I decided to go with a simple pattern unlock.

You are correct. I tried both with the pattern and pin unlock and the music controls pop up. I wonder why they don't on the regular swipe screen??
Is it possible to control(next track, previous track) the default music player with the volume buttons?
Can it be done using a different music player such as the walkman app in conjunction with holo locker?
Dont know about the app u r talking, but try PlayerPro , it has an option to change track by vol rockr, but only in lock screen :good:

I think he is talking about using the volume buttons to change music tracks while on the lockscreen with the default music app

He asked s it possible with other music app, i answered referring to that part of question.

I've used playerpro before but I've always had issues with it due to the fact that you can't lock playlist, so when ever i scroll through one i end up moving songs around.
I know the L9 has LG's custom lock screen and that the walkman music player wouldn't work with it nor can the volume buttons be used for playback controls but I'm not sure if using a different lock screen such as holo locker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker&hl=en) will cause it to change.
