Did the Android 11 update break/disable lock screen media controls?
Ever since I took the android 11 update, there have no longer been media controls on my lock screen. (I use iBroadcast for my music after Google Play Music was discontinued)

I've been looking everywhere for a widget that can control the music like skip, Pause, play for the default player. I couldn't believe android lacks such a simple feature; when I had an iPod touch, whilst the screen was locked, double clicking the home screen would bring up the pause/play, skip buttons.
Whereas now when the screen is locked, I have to unlock the screen to get to the music player to be able to change the track etc.
MIUI Roms have this feature... And the PlayerPRO also has it. You have to turn on in program's Settings

Dont want to flash a new rom on it. Don't want to change the default player either, as I've tried others and are more ram hungry than the default player.
its depend on stock roms,you cant say all android roms has no feature like that,in android you can have everything that iphone has and not,just try search this forum..

Then, I think there's only one other option, get a LiveView (soon SmartWatch) or a wireless headset.
Dosent the Default Android in Arc S got a music Player Widget?!
It does!
And well, There are better alternatives out there!
Try PowerAMP or Winamp!

But the thing is with Winamp or Poweramp, they're more RAM hungry (i.e. they use up a lot more RAM) than the original Music Player.
The Default music player does have a widget, but it is permanently on screen and doesn't disappear when the music is turned off, as I would like to have one on my lockscreen and would like to control my music from there i.e. skip tracks etc rather than having to unlock then go to the widget.
With WidgetLocker Lockscreen you can put a music player widget on your lockscreen
Try this app and enable lockscreen controls from settings menu.
I know its not a stock replacement app but its worth a try..
btw,its free

you can try "music remote" in market place
it adds on to your player and create a remote for your player .... you can even use your hand free to create a remote
good luck
Ok this is driving me nuts. I have no lockscreen controls when I am using the 4 digit PIN lockscreen. I am on the stock everything. Strangely, the app Beyondpod player has lockscreen controls but the stock music player and winamp does not. I haven't tried Google Music or Poweramp yet. TIA

I fixed this by downloading an app called Cloudskipper. It has it's own lockscreen which comes in front of the PIN lockscreen. I've seen reports of the lockscreen bypassing onto the homescreen but this is not the case with Galaxy S3. The PIN lockscreen always comes up if you want to get onto the homescreen.
THE BEST
I love this app. it works on top of the PIN LOCK and i can use it with my gallaxy s3 headphones to control it. i love this
Has the Lock Screen functionality changed from ICS to JB? I use two music players, Rocket Player and PlayerPro. In both cases, the lock screen ( not the "default" option ) stopped working. These are Lock Screen options that put music player controls on the lock screen. In the apps, if I choose "Android Default" for the lock screen it works.

I use Doubletwist player and the lockscreen controls work on it. Just in case you want to use another player.
So I've been a bit bummed that I don't have a full screen music widget with controls on my lock screen, as I mainly use my tablet when I play Music. The other day I used my Nexus 6, and saw that when I used Play Music, it had full - screen lock controls for music and artwork. It looked awesome! Is there any way to make that happen on the Tab S?
If not, is there any app or mod I can use to make widget or music controls a thing again for the lock screen?
I don't know if you want to go this far, but Euphoria ROM has that, and even has an equalizer animation on the lock screen when music is playing! Perhaps it's an AOSP thing, although the TW on my Note 4 does have the album cover and controls on the lock screen

I've been thinking about putting a ROM on it, I just couldn't decide on a decent one that was stable on Lollipop yet. I'm not a fan of flashing nightlies or weeklies. I'll have to check out Euphoria now, thanks for the suggestion!
Sort of on topic, any suggestions for a tablet-optimized music player? I've been using Shuttle and I love it, but the controls are so tiny on the 8.4 that I miss constantly.
Hi, im using the popular app JetAudio as a music player on my A50. It was fine until I upgraded to Android 10, now i see that, while music is playing, it is not possible anymore to have a customized lock screen with music controls, song info, album cover, etc.
I tried other apps but apparently the stuff that can be displayed on lock screen is strictly controlled by Samsung.
Is there any alternative music player allowing to show music info on lock screen, or any workaround, or shall I only wait and hope that an update from Samsung wil reintroduce this feature?
Regards, and thanks in advance for any reply!

I tried, but JetAudio is way more configurable, a better equaliser, and thanks to its DSP opions, "sounds better"
Having music info on lock screen is a plus, after all...
Thanks for your reply!
