I'm having an issue with media utilities updating when the screen is turned off. If the song changes while the screen is off the the track, artist, and album name do not update even after I turn the screen back on. The only way I can get it to update is by opening the media utilities app. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help is much appreciated.

I just get annoyed when I want to Skip a song when music is playing and I have to unlock again. Especially in the car.

What rom are you using? With CM there is an option to have music controls on the lock screen. Or you can use widget locker which allows you to customize your lock screen and place widgets on it.
Another option, not sure if this is a CM thing or not. When your in the car and have it pluged in and charging you can can set it to keep the screen on. Go to settings, applications, development and check stay awake when charging. Then the screen won't lock and you will be able to use the the widget on your home screen.
Hope this helps.

I am turning my old phone into a mp3 player. I would like to know if there is a way to have the screen wake when the song changes. I want this because i listen to a lot of new and obscure music while riding my motor cycle and would like to see at a glance who and what song is playing from my lockscreen widget.
Try Wave Control you can turn screen on , keep on lock, swipe hand across screen to change song etc.

I tried that but it didn't work very well for what i want. Ill use that if i cant find another solution. Thanks for the reply. I just would like it to wake the screen like it does for like a phone call and stay on for 30 seconds or so.
nobody has any ideas?
The very first time I used my phone when the screen was locked I was able to get the music controls to come up with above the pattern. Now I can only get it to work by sliding down the notification panel which is an extra step that can be a little annoying when working out or driving. I searched and couldn't find any solutions and was wondering if anyone knew. I normally use google music, but I don't mind the samsung player.
And is the screen timeout function buggy? I have mine set to ten minutes and sometimes it'll stay on and sometimes it'll timeout after a couple minutes which is also a nuisance since I generally like to keep my screen on when I'm driving or exercising so I can stay focused.

what ROM are you running or are you stock rooted/unrooted?
Stock.
the music control feature on the lock screen was not included in the 4.1.1 release. you probably saw it before you updated and are not seeing it now. how recently did you update? moving to 4.1.1 is probably also related to your screen timeout issue.
Don't have a live wallpaper for lock screen. Controls will shows when static wallpaper is set for lock. Try Google play if stock music player does not show.

For the screen time out thing, do you have a secured lock time option under lock screen in your settings?

I just came from Cyanogenmod, so I am not which features are specific to that but, I don't get any notifications on my lock screen, nor do I get cover art (when playing audio) or music controls.
Under notification settings, I have enabled"Show All Notification Content" when device is locked.
No apps are blocking app notifications on the lock screen
Under lock screen settings, Skip Slide Screen is set to off
Screen lock is set to PIN (policy pushed to my phone by my employer)
Not that I am running the latest pre-rooted system image (Z00A_WW_2.17.40.12)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was not getting lock screen notification until I posted yesterday, and it was suggested that I turn off keep slide screen. That did it for me.

Doing that gave my music controls, but still no notifications...very sad
Man, if anyone could tell me how to get rid of the Lock Screen media controls that would be great.
I have the widget turned off in Lock Screen, and in AOD. I have the media playback control feature turned on in the notifications drop down. Force closing Amazon music makes it go away for a few minutes, then sure enough its back. Anyone on the Beta figure out how to get rid of it?
