Problem with Google Play Music lockscreen widget - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2 on my moto x, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins before I wake the phone up, when I do, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Shuttle, with both of them, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, it didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.

Nitrogen Lockscreen continued play (HTC HD2)

(I'm not really sure where I should put this thread so just give me hint)
I am very new to the xda site, ive taken use of many of the different applications the forum has in store, especially the app called Nitrogen MP3 player.
I use that because the standard music player on my HTC HD2 is bugged ever since I installed the GTX Theme, the problem is that the phone crashed or the music stops playing middle of a song.
Anyway... back to the main thing.
The issue I want help with is that the Nitrogen player stops music every time I lock my phone.
I was wondering if there was any way to change anything in the program so the music will keep playing even when the phone is in lock " the screen is turned off locked"

I had the same issue. That's why I stopped using Nitrogen. My HTC Music player works well. But I have had to do 2 hard resets because of a program called DoubleTwist, which screwed my HD2 up and made the HTC Music player not function properly.
I also had the same problem a few months back.., Just did a hard reset and things were back to normal

[Q] Stock Music Player Crashes. A lot. Anyone else got this?

I can consistently make the stock Music app crash. I just go and select a song or album from the library (usually by Artist), which will cause it to start playing music. Then I go and select another song and it will crash with the message the music player "has stopped unexpectedly" etc. etc. "Force Close". If it doesn't crash immediately, I just try playing another song. Switching songs twice does it every time.
I have almost 7.5GB of music, which I guess is a lot, but shouldn't cause crashes. I sync using Winamp on my desktop, though I think I also had the issue synching with other applications. Other apps work mostly fine. Winamp rarely crashes. MixZing and DoubleTwist have never crashed.
I thought it was the phone, so I took it back to the Sprint store. The Sprint guy remarked how hot my phone was (didn't seem out of the ordinary to me) and gave me a brand new phone. My music is on my 16GB SD card, so I tried it out 5 minutes after swapping to the new phone and it still crashes (though about all my other, unrelated phone problems have been fixed).
I've uploaded a video of this current phone crashing to YouTube, but I don't have enough posts to link to an outside URL.
Anyone else having this issue? Not like I need to use the stock player, but I'm just curious if this is only me.
I'm also having that problem. Thought it was just me, but I guess not. I have no idea how to fix it.

Not just you guys. I've been able to re-create that same crash, and have since I got the phone. It's not my music collection, as the exact same collection on the exact same SD card plays perfectly on the stock HTC Playler on my Evo 4G. It's the newer HTC Music app, it's buggy. I've posted about this in the 'current bugs' thread, and also over at Android Forums. Some other people also get the problem. Hopefully HTC will address it. I think a lot of other users don't notice this is because they use a 3rd party music player, such as google music beta, or poweramp or something like that. I like the stock player though, because of the lockscreen music widget
Thank god. Thought I was taking crazy pills.
Are you guys getting this while headphones plugged in? I had this issue intermittently, grabbed an app on the market called headset blocker widget, haven't had the issue since. I have not had the issue on speaker. ymmv

Nope, I've had this issue without headphones. Headphones will only cause the player to skip and pause, and I got Headset Blocker for that.
Haven't really use it so no idea or much info but there is a nice app in the market is call power AMP and is great player, you can download a free version or buy the full one for 5$ really good and great developer to, btw it has EQ options integrated and it works great
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
My HTC Music Player is also buggy. Although, instead of force closing it just shuts down and I have to reboot. I am on my second 3VO handset, but I had the exact same probem with my first one.
I just started using RealPlayer Beta, works well...
I've been having all sorts of issues with the stock app as well, crashing and music skipping. Glad I read this thread though. Appreciate being pointed to the fix to my songs skipping. thanks.

Help Pls Music Issue

I recently bought a Sony Xperia U
It works perfect i love it however when it comes to music its a disaster i tried everything factor release, remove sim , battery , update software.. For some reason when i play my music on music player or any other media player for example MX player or Double twist after 3 minutes exactly of sound music it turns off like it crashes for few minutes it goes black and then it turns on and when it does i cant enter those media applications because they crash immediately..
I tried many experiments like trying with different songs.. different kbs.. but nothing seems to work.. however I tried to see if the issue is the music and its not... i played videos on youtube.... and even my own videos i even turned the radio on and it lasts how much you want it never switched off... This issue wasn't occuring on day 1 after day 1 it happened..
What can i do please help because i just bought it and i would love to find the issue before sending it again to the seller since i bought it from internet.. How can i hear my music on my player? Also whats the best way to transfer music from pc to mobille.. do i just put the music on the xperia u? because their isn't any music folder..
Sometime it crashes when i enter play store also or try to change my live wallpaper..
Thanks alot please reply
you could make a new folder called music and then drag-and-drop it with windows explorer. That is what I did with my xperia s.
I think there is something really wrong with your phone, it shouldn't act like that when playing music. Do you have the same result with other tasks? like playing video's?
I think that you should discuss it with the reseller.

New problem: Sense music losing its memory

This just started recently. I will listen to music. Then several hours after stopping, my music player widget and app both show "Choose songs from your library to play some music..."
This never used to happen. It would always remember right were it was playing when it stopped.
Phone has not been rebooted since playing stopped.
Stock Rooted ICS.
Thanks!
Anybody? Please?
Not entirely sure what the problem is.

[Q] Missing Music

My AT&T HTC One M7 Is really REALLY bumming me out. I use BitTorrent to download music to my phone and it all works fine, everything shows up in my default music player like it has been and should be...untill about a month ago. Some artists just started disappearing. Now everything disappears. I've tried going into the Google music player to see if it was just the default but no luck there. even tried downloading music players off the app store and not a single one says I have music. I've tried factory resetting but with unfortunate luck. The amount of frustration I have been feeling. Does anyone know how to fix this? By the way, my phone is not rooted
