Since I updated to Lollipop, I noticed the lockscreen playback music controls are gone. I have tried multiple music apps, but none of them work. There isn't even a notification when the screen is locked, so I have to unlock my device every time I want to change songs/etc. Has anyone found a way around this problem/do you guys experience it too?
I too have that issue nit sure is that bug or not
I thought it was an issue, the I noticed because of security reasons my notifications weren't showing (you probably also get like "hidden message" notification when you receive a text. .) Just go to "sound" and look for the notification option... it's at the bottom..

no, that's not it. I have that set to "Show all content", but music controls still aren't displayed. When your device is locked, do you get the option to control music?

Does anyone know of a way to turn off the notification sound when a text arrives? I don't mean the Text Messaging app notification, that's already off so there shouldn't be any sound but everytime I receive a text I still get a sound and vibrate which is coming from Settings > Sound Settings > Notification Ringtone (not the Text Messaging app settings).
If I use a 3rd party app (e.g. GoSMS) for texts I get double notifications, even when I turn off notifications for the stock messaging app. If I turn off the notification sound in Settings > Sound I don't get any sound at all.
Any ideas anyone? Hope you know what I mean, sorry if I haven't explained very well.
Grab and use the App "Simple sound profile widget" from the market.
That is one of my all time favorite Android apps ever! (plus its easy to use and free)
Hopefully that should help you out. If not, it's still a must have App anyway...

Thanks for coming to my assistance (again!) ccrows
I tried that app but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, but really glad you mentioned it, it's definitely a really useful app to have.
It seems the stock android sound/vibrate notification is activated for any alert, in addition to whatever alert the individual app (i.e. text messaging/goSMS/email) uses, and I'm unable to separate them. I either have no notifications or two notifications
Is everyone else's phone the same? When you get a text message do you get two notifications (but not two messages)?
Many thanks
[EDIT] Problem solved, I feel like such an idiot! Every time I send/receive a text my carrier sends me a message with an update of my monthly allowance. I turned that off via their website and now no more double notifications. It was their message that was triggering the extra notification at the same time as the text messages.
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
Hey folks,
So I was wondering why there are no media controls on my Honor 10's lock screen when music is playing (usually via Spotify).
It's not really cool to unlock the phone, swipe down, open spotify and press next when all you want to do is skip a song.
Do these controls show up on your lockscreen?
Did I maybe disable them without noticing?
Thanks for your answers in advance!

I do have them there, try disabling having to show your face to show notifications on lockscreen in face unlock settings, was a culprit for me before.

Hey thanks for your suggestion, I've now disabled face unlock, gave Spotify every possible permission (like ignore "do not disturb" mode, draw on lockscreen etc). But still nothing shows up on my lockscreen when music is playing from Spotify.
I even logged off from Spotify and on again like some people suggested in another forum. Didn't change anything.
However I noticed the stock music app makes fullscreen controls appear on the lockscreen (but I won't use that app).
Any further suggestions?

Actually yeah, one more suggestion. If you changed your lockscreen theme to anything other than the default one, change it back to default. For some reason notifications and everything that's supposed to be on the lockscreen is banned in custom themes. No clue what's wrong if it isn't this.

Thanks for this suggestion, too.
I already thought this might be a problem and changed it beforehand.
So now after I made all these changes:
Lockscreen design to default
Disabling Face Unlock
Enabling the rights for Spotify to send Lockscreen messages
Enabling all possible rights for Spotify basically
A notification for currently playing Spotify tracks shows up quite randomly.
I assume it needs some time to show up. It doesn't show immediately after I play music and lock the phone.
If turn on the screen like 3 minutes later, it's there sometimes.
Now it would be awesome if it showed up in fullscreen mode on the lockscreen (like the huawei music player does) and show up immediately.
Thanks for your help so far, feel free to post further suggestions if you come up with something.

Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?

According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]
Guys,
For those out there who have this phone or are still testing. Can you:
Set different ringtones by contact (I can see you can only set 1 ringtone by SIM card in settings)?
Can you assign different notifications per app? Eg: a different sound to SMS receive compared to email received -- Can you set notification sounds in the native app itself while disabling the normal Huawei system notification otherwise?
LED notification PULSE light. Any one take a video of it displaying in the dark?
Can you set different LED colours by different notifications using a 3rd party app like LIGHTFLOW? Not sure if it has Pie support yet...
The fact that there's a 99% likelihood this phone cannot be unlocked to customise as I see fit is a big turnoff, meaning a lot of useful apps I have to go without...making Huawei stand up and tick more boxes is now extremely important
Any help is appreciated

Based from my limited reading, the OS itself is preventing this. I am a big fan of customized ringtones and notifications too. I'd know when it's my wife calling or when it's work or something else. I'm not closing my doors on this. I hope we'll get a solution real soon.
If you use Google contacts, click on the contact go to the 3 dots on the top right in the menu there is set ringtone
Google messages, settings, notifications, sounds
If you go to settings, apps, notifications, sounds you can set different tones for almost any app
weird, I don't see any "notifications" under apps as you've said

Even without Google contacts you can set tones for different people in the stock dialer contacts app, go to edit the contact and at the bottom there is a tab saying "more fields" and it will allow you to set custom ringtone. If you go to settings then apps and click the app you want to customize and at the very top it'll say 'notification management" click on that and then click on sound, and then you can pick a sound.

When you go into each app settings there is a notification option, sometimes it is under miscellaneous or more options.

In the stock contact app if you click on the contact person and edit, then go to more fields at the bottom there's a ringtone option there.

awesome, cheers for that. Shame it only lets you select from the start of the song. Coming from Samsung, it would give you that option as well as suggesting the "best" part of the track for a ring tone. which always worked really well. Do you know if there's anything like that in the software or even a 3rd party app that can do it?
