[Q] displaying album art on the moto 360 - Moto 360

Hello fellow moto 360 users, I seem to be having a minor issue with the music control feature on my moto 360, it seems if the phone screen is/was on, the information on the watch displays correctly, i can see album art, track info and a pause button, however if I have the screen off and the song changes I can see everything except the album art, anyone know a possible workaround or fix? I'm currently using the latest version of poweramp as my player on my galaxy s3 which is running cm11m10

Mediaplayer Notifications

Hello,
This is a dumb question, to the Desire's owners. Does the media player gives you notifications in the notifications bar ? For example when the media player is sent to background and still playing ? Are there any controls there to pause or stop the music ?
Does the controls resides also on the lock screen ?
What I'm searching is a similar functionality compared to Galaxy S.
Thanks for the answers !
The music player stays up in the notifications bar, plays in the background (like every Android media player :-D) and gives you controls on the lock-screen.

Album Art not showing on lock screen.

I remember reading a while ago that in Kitkat the album art of what I am currently playing should display on the lock screen, full screen. But for me it isn't doing, whether I use spotify or google play music.
I do get a small "widget" with basic music controls and a small thumbnail of the album art but I thought it was supposed to be full screen.
HTC One (M8) EE not been rooted and standard out of the box firmware etc.

Daydream VR - Samsung A7 (2017)

Hi all,
I like to share my experience using Daydream VR on the unsupported Samsung A7 (2017). After following steps to root and add lines of code to the hardware XML file to enable Daydream to work, I find an odd behavior with Daydream app and any Google VR apps like street view. The double stereoscopic images open and are displayed momentarily but freezes. At first, I thought this was a total failure and the reason why the phone is incompatible or not supported for Daydream VR. However, by chance, I swiped down to reveal the the top status bar whilst in the stereoscopic landscape mode and the daydream controller and the VR view came to life and worked for as along as the status bar is revealed. I turned on the VR develop mode to check framerates and with overlays on in VR mode it didn't freeze. Frame rate was around 60 dipping sometimes to 50 on the start screen.
This is a small market for people trying VR and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same and also know of a fix or workaround to this problem. I don't believe the issue is a software type rather than hardware but I'm no expert! I've read a few topics regarding 'Immersive' mode but found nothing specific to this experience.
Thanks for reading and your input if you have any.
Update.
I've stumbled upon a work around. The Samsung phone comes with an app called Game Launcher. This places a small, movable red button overlaid onto the game when it switches to full screen. Pressing it opens a popup menu for in-game screen shots and to start video recording of the game in full screen. Anyway, I am digressing. Launching the Google Daydream app via the Samsung Game Launcher prevents the stereoscopic view from freezing. There's some jitter on black divider between the two views but other than that, the app runs and the controller works smoothly. Thought I'd share this info. Tested only with A7 (2017), rooted and stock rom 7.0.

Lockscreen Media Controls

Hello,
Just moved from IOS and I am missing the lock screen media controls (volume slider, album artwork, playback slider)
Is there an option or a mod that I can install to enable this? I am currently using apple music as my media player, as I have a subscription.
Thank you
Bump
Hi,
The only way I got it is by tapping the title from the control, then it shows itself.
