Don't know what has happened, but my music controls on lockscreen has disappeared, on both Walkman app and on wimp?
Have of course done a Google on this, but could not find anything, any help would be great appreciated ☺

I have noticed this on 402 firmware as well, there are no music controls shown just the album art (not full screen sadly) in Walkman, Play Music & PowerAmp.
On the lock screen tap the widget so it shows the border then drag down on the bottom of the widget to maximise it & you will then seen the volume controls.
Thanks for your reply. My problem is that I don't have any widget showing, therefore I see no album art or player control. Can't add any widget either..
Just tested on my xperia tab 2,and there it shows.
Can't figure out how to get it back... ?

Hmm strange, check settings-security-enable widgets is ticked, I have changed the screen dpi to 400 so thought that was the cause in my case even though Chronus widget now shows correctly (before it was truncated on stock dpi)
Widget is enabled. Tough it might be a bug in wimp, but get nothing when using stock music player either.

Since there isn't one, what do you recommend? I haven't seem any good ones in the market, and there's too many to search through them all.
I'm a big fan if mixzing. Chris Soyars also has an amazing one for cm6 assuming that gets ported soon.
Pure Music Widget. Is nice, many different sizes and skinnable.
I will check those out, but I ended up just porting over the music apk from CM5 and installing that

Stock 2.1 Music Player with widget.
While the Samsung Music player app doesn't have a widget, it might have something better - if you're playing music you can control the app even if the screen is locked. When you're screen is locked you'll see a little down arrow that you can drag down to show your music controls.
DoubleTwist also has a decent widget.

Not only that, you have your music controls from the notification bar. I don't miss the music widget one bit with these 2 options

I third the preloaded music app. Why do you need a widget that's always on the home screen taking up space and resources whether your listening to music or not when you can have controls hidden in the notification bar that only show up when you're actually listening to music?

Are the notification bar controls tied to the TouchWiz interface or can you use any home screen customizer, as long as you use the Sammy player, and still get the notification bar controls?

Its part of the Samsung Music app, not the launcher, so you can use it with any Launcher
The notification bar and lock screen players remain in place if you use a 3rd party home screen (ADW, Launcher Pro), so long as your using Samsung's excellent player.
I don't like Samsung's music player. I don't like that when I pick an artist, it opens all albums. I like the stock music players way of showing the albums, then opens just that album when you touch it. I don't want to play the entire discography when I just want one album. I know there is an "Album" category, but I like my music by artist -> album, not just album.
If that's not too confusing to understand lol
I love the music controls in my notification bar when using the Samsung player, but if I get a handscent pop up message from a text it gongs that music player right out of the notification bar. Sometimes if I go back to the music app its still there paused, but sometimes not. Kind of annoying, anyone else noticing this?
Edit: Reboot seems to have fixed this now, sorry should have tried that before posting.
I use bTunes because it actually keeps my playlists when transferred over wifi from iTunes on my PC (with tunesync). I'd like to use the stock player but it only shows all the songs/artists/albums...no itunes playlists
I found out that Lithium player is one of the best out there so far.
Great Music effects also!

If you click artists, then on the artist, it will still show each album, it just shows them in a list as opposed to icons for each album.
I've found this one, it's a clock & weather with beaty animation, and you can get it profi version for free, just like me
But please - tell me which other widgets do you use and witch are beaty and readable on our display. Thanks

Simple but damn important and useful, True silence. Basically with one click it makes your android completely silent, instead of android's crappy 'silent' mode which leaves the media volume on, and if you go to adjust that manually it will play to you the current level of media, which will be loud and might turn heads towards you..
Also I use rimshot widget for fun, and pure grid calendar, but it costs so.

For quite mode I use "phone silencer" <- you can set when the silence mode will be switched off
A client with this phone came to me for a problem she had. The thing is that she had the same home screen effect as sense for htc phones and i am shure that she does not have a rooted or modified phone. I tought at first that it was the weather network widget since she had this on her screen but after downloading i see that this is not what made the effect. When you want to select a shortcut or widget on the home screen with this effect you have to tap twice to disengage the effect. Does anyone know of what widget or app im talking about because i really want this one!!!

Hi all,
How to get the music controls on the lock screen . My mate gets them for the music app and Tune in radio.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You'll need a music application like Power Amp. I've been using it for years and it has a very good ICS lock screen including the all important seek bar.
The stock samsung music player doesn't have lockscreen controls...shockingly.
I installed the stock google music player and deleted the Sammy one. Also I don't think the Sammy player works with DSP manager, which the Google version does, so another bonus.
Hello. I changed my dpi from 480 to 360. But my lockscreen widgets are messed up. It works okay on 320 or 480. It doesn't show the date or the music controls. Is there any where I can configure this? I don't know what I can do.. I've tried searching but nothing. See pics
left pics are what's wrong with dpi at 360.
Right is what I want it to look like.

Huh, so 360 causes some issues on Z2 too - since my old N5 had problems with Google Play Music + notifications. Try 361, which is what I currently use and it displays the music widget correctly + the clock too.
Mind you, at 361 DPI, you won't see the music controls - just the name of the song + album picture. To see the controls, you'll just have to expand the widget, or just simply force it in the Settings (always expand).

Yes but when they're expanded i can't unlock it. There has to be some setting in /~ to force it to use the smaller widget. Does anybody have any idea?
Using EMUI 4 and latest Spotify. I can't get spotify controls on lockscreen. I've enabled spotify lockscreen notifications.
Which soft. ver?
On B330:
Deezer ok (controls & art)
Google Play Music controls ok, no art
Soundcloud not a pixel :/
Works now, without cover art, only controls. I could swear it didn't earlier.
Can somebody tell me, which music apps can be controlled via Lock screen?
On B180 just default music player and GPlay music are able to be controlled like that.

Otherwise you can use a 3rd part lock screen app (I use next and it works with spotify)

Updating to B330.
But it wasn't there from the beginning.
Try to play a song and to lock then unlock the screen.
Not sure how I have achieved it.
