Hi all
im still an Android newbie so apologies if this has been asked before. I did search the forum before posting and got some older hits but I’ve not been able to fix my issue.
I have a P6 non rooted and use Spotify. I’d like to see the basic controls on my Lock Screen. Is this possible?
The only thing I can think of is Notifications. Do you allow Spotify to show Notifications and do you allow Notifications to be shown on your lock screen?
Hi there. I believe I have all of the settings correct to allow Spotify, yes.
Im Stumped
Hold on a moment. I set my screen to be off.
Pressed the power button whilst music was playing. The lock screen lights up and hey presto. I have Spotify controls.
So the problem is related to the always on screen when on standby.

Hey guys, i'm kinda new here so, I hope i'm posting in the correct thread. I hope someone here can help me out with my problem though.
Anyways, whenever i'm listening to music, and I press the play/pause button on my headset to control my music tracks, my phone turns on. This get's really annoying because every time my phone turns on, it stays on for a few seconds, and this really kills battery life. I've tried lurking around my phone's settings and even my launcher settings, but i can't find a way to fix this.
My phone is a rooted HTC Wildfire S running AOKP custom rom with Nova Launcher Prime. And if it makes any difference, I'm using the "Start" lock screen from the Play Store.
Thanks guys!:good:

This isn't a native feature so the first thing to do is to check the settings of your rom and Start app. Normally there's an option you have enabled.
Do u use an app to control your headset buttons? There's maybe an option that turns on your screen while pressing the buttons.

I triple checked Start app settings as well as rom control settings. There's nothing there that seems to be the problem. I don't have an app to control my headset buttons either. I can't think of anything that must be causing this issue.

Do u use Active Display or Lockscreen Notifications? When your screen turns on do u see a notification or something related to your music player?

No, i don't think I use active display or lockscreen notifications. When my screen turns on, i don't see any notifications or anything related to the music player. It just turns on regularly as if I were to press the power button to turn it on.

Yup, I use PlayerPro as a default. But i tried with the stock music player, and still same end result.
Despite having no lock screen set, I cannot get the volume button long press to work to load the applications. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The option is enabled, and I've only disabled applications that deal with the voice recognition stuff from LG.
Edit: Go figure... After half an hour of research and trying different things it only works after I posted this question. I have no idea what I did differently.

I assume your talking about the screen off press and hold to launch camera or quick note trick? I've noticed a couple Times it hasn't worked right for me, but it usually does.
Make sure your screen is off, and press vol down and hold for a good couple seconds and it should launch the shortcut. Also make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered. Mine didn't work at all when it was covered, which is the same for the double tap to wake.
Btw, do you know how to change what the button launches? I like the camera but don't care for quick note, and didn't see a way to change it.

I have found they will not launch for me if I am in a Chromecast session, or playing some music with the screen off through the phone's speaker. I am assuming that was my problem since I can't replicate it under any other circumstances.
There is an option in the phone's menu system to turn it on or off, but it does not allow for the shortcut to be changed. We'll have to wait for custom ROMs to give us this feature.

Yeah that does make sense. And I didn't think they were changeable but it's good to know this is confirmed.
Hello
This is my second day using the Gear S I set the screen to be Always On, as it is more comfortable, but I noticed that every accidental touch on the screen will wake the watch up :cyclops:
is there any way that I activate the screen using the power button only?
thank you all

You can't have both. If you want to do what you're describing go into style and shut off clock always on. Then go into motion and uncheck wake up gesture.
Your watch will now only turn on the screen if you touch the power button.

isn't this something we can come around by rooting?
I mean aren't there any workarounds?:crying:
still searching and reading
I am looking for the same solution - I want the screen to always show a high battery efficient clock and only show the main watch face when I press the home button or activate the screen by doing the wake up gesture(as Sony's SW2 does...)

Hello,
i got a general Android problem. As long as my screen is turned on, i can skip tracks with the controls on my bluetooth earbuds, does not matter if screen is locked or unlocked. But as soon as the screen is turned off, the controls stop working.
Googling the problem leads to nothing, because the only problem that shows up, is the one where controls don´t work on lockscreen.
But i got no issue there. Everything works as long the screen is turned on. As soon i turn it off, the controls stop working. I tried remapping keys with Button Mapper which doesn´t help.
Everything works as intended, i can skip (Spotify) tracks from Lockscreen, from homescreen, from everywhere. But as soon as the display turns off, i can´t skip tracks anymore via bluetooth. Changing volume still works tho! Also i can skip tracks with holding the volumebutton on the phone but not with the bluetooth controls.
Any fix for that?
Greetings, Schnoinsch
Hi, not sure if anyone else has had this issue.
It's only really been happening to me the last few mornings when I wake up.
My screen is blank, the top half (no clock showing) the bottom half shows the bottom half with the fingerprint and if I touch anything, it's just frozen.
My alarm has sounded while it's been like this, and it shows the slider to turn it off, but again won't actually slide when I try, so the alarm keeps sounding.
The only way i it responds normally is if I press the off button to turn the screen off, then press it again to turn it back on, and then it seems back to normal.
I can't think of anything I have installed recently that might be causing it?
Anyone got any ideas please?
Regards
James
Do you use goodlock and custom clocks on aod and lock screen?
I do use goodlock yeah, thinking about it, I did recently charge a setting for aod to wake up notifications. It's there a glitch with that do you know?
I have had my screen go black and wont respond to any presses. Then when pressing the powerbutton the screen shows the home and back button only but responds to nothing, except I can use the sidebar, click on calander for example and then it allows me to unlock. Did this a few times but has not done it again after a power off and on.
