I was customizing my phone and put owner info on the lock screen for fun. I noticed that the widget that appears when you listen to music stopped showing up. I removed the owner info but the music widget is still not showing up even when I listen to music (tried different apps). Anyone who knows how to make it come back? It's a small frustrating thing to not have a handy music widget on the lock screen anymore. Tried different things like deleting data and cache for android.keyguard with no results.

Yep. Do you have Smart Key installed? This was a long time ago, but I believe the problem was fixed after I uninstalled it

Since last nights update to 3.2 i am getting a blinking screen when in Google music app. It just constantly blinks. i have about 7k sngs loaded onto Gmusic and never had any issues with tab or phone. Currently this issue only blinks on the tab. Still plays music but sometimes if i pull up an artist it won't seperate the albums.......

Cleared data. seems to be working for now.no blinks. thanks
I have had blinking occur when opening stock browser. It did go away after a few seconds.
I have this problem too! its like it keeps reloading the music ever 2 seconds and just flickers, if i clear the data/cache and force stop it, it'll work on the first open and then keep doing after until i clear and fore stop again.. anyone have a solution?
I am continuing to get this flickering problem.
The only way to correct it is as stated above- Clear data.
Than open app, it will work fine but than the next time i go into it the same issue- so have to clear data again.
Anyone else have this issue or come up with a permanent fix. Or any ideas...
Thanks, Still on Stock- not rooted fyi
Hello intelligent people at xda
ok, so here's my problem: (see attached images)
the notification drawer on my nexus 5 is acting strangely. Its not displaying the notification (widget) as it should for any notification widget that has play, pause, stop etc. such as Play Music, Tunein, and Viral. The widget also fails to update. (If I change the track, it fails to update the name.) The controls WORK i.e. i can still pause, skip track etc. however, there is obviously some glitch/bug with this.
All other notifications that don't require "active" controls, such as gmail, hangouts etc. working normally...even if i expand it.
This problem came totally out of the blue! The only "tinkering" that ive done with my phone today is that i removed xposed framework COMPLETELY (flashed the included disabler.zip) because i missed ART (dalvic feels sluggish). After i switched to ART, i noticed this issue. So then I switch back to davic to see if it persists - and unfortunately, it does.
Plz help me (a noob). Any suggestions to what i can do to fix it?

yes if you directly flash..
no if you use titanium backup to backup your apps
and apps like super backup for messages,contacts and call logs...
your internal storage data like movies,pictures will not be wiped...
all your apps will be lost but you can backup and restore them via titanum backup...
read the Rom thread carefully before flashing if you are new to flashing roms..
please dont skip any step in rom thread

Still curious though as to wtf actually caused it...
This has happened 3 or 4 times in the past couple days. My Play Music will start playing without me asking it to. If I recall correctly, it's always starting when I use the swipe up to unlock gesture from an off/sleeping screen. There's no shortcuts to the music app that I could be accidentally swiping on or anything like that. I'm running CleanROM and Sense 6 Toolbox. Anyone experiencing anything like this?

Poweramp does something like that as soon as I connect BT. I use Greenify to hibernate the apps so they won't do that.

This is more by design though. IIRC there is a setting in PowerAmp for this activity.
I realized shortly after I posted this that I did a TiBu data restore of Play Music when I flashed the ROM. I would have excluded this app had I noticed it listed in user apps. I cleared its data and will hope that resolved it.

Are you having the exact same symptoms as I described, i.e. music comes on when you unlock with a swipe-up gesture? It sounds like you're able to trigger it more often than I'd been seeing. It only happened once today before I posted. I can't say for sure whether mine's fixed yet since it's random, but you could also try clearing your data on Play Music.

I'm not exactly sure. I'm pretty sure it's only when I swipe up, but like you it happens for me very infrequently. Maybe once or twice a day, tops. I'll try clearing data and see what happens

HI guys, I've got a real head scratcher and for the first time in every aspect of my life a Google search hasn't come through for me.
Background: Completely stock Nexus 4 - 4.4.3
Completely stock Nexus 7 - 4.4.2
No task or app killers
Problem: Out of no where when swiping away any music player (Google Play Music, Shuttle+, Wiizm etc) the music is killed!? The phone seems to be preventing the app from running in the background. I can hit the menu hot key and open other apps and music will play fine, it just won't continue playback if app is swiped.
I've also noticed I no longer get any form of mini player in the notification pull down or notification (headphones, play symbol etc) in the status bar if I have music playing unless I swipe the app but by which time the music has been killed!
What I've tried: Numerous searches, factory reset, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, cache and data clearing and even a different user account.
I could completely understand that something could corrupt or I could possibly hit a setting I've never seen before causing this to happen but surely a factory reset would resolve it? To add insult to injury my Nexus 7 has gone exactly the same way with the same symptoms. I don't even have the same music players on the individual device so I can't blame it on one particular app.
It driving me insane! Does anyone have any suggestions?
I experienced the second part of your problem, GPM no longer was in my notification bar+shade. Searched everywhere and your post was the only one I could find related to my problem. Curiously I checked the app under >Settings>Applications>Google Play Music and noticed that the notifications check box was not checked so I checked it and now everything is back to normal. Really can't remember if I turned it off myself or if upgrading to 4.4.3 had something to do with it.

Has happened here twice. Had to reboot to fix it. My worry is that this could happen during the night so that the phone won't wake me up in the morning (the alarms don't sound either - in fact no sound at all can be played, be it from ringer, notifications, Spotify or YouTube).
Hasn't occurred now for three days, but I've rebooted each day due to separate issue which involves not notifications not being received unless I open the app (happens in Facebook Messenger and Signal).

Yeah, let's hope
Unfortunately it's back
Was able to find out the cause... Was the hike app intefering with system sounds.
Once notifications start coming up without sound, clear away the hike app from recents.. should fix the issue... Atleast it did for me
I'm noticing the exact same issue. Sitting here WATCHING my phone ring and making no sound. What exactly is the "hike" app? Is that something you've installed or is it a native app? I don't think I have that on my phone so I'm looking for a solution.

Its a third party app like WhatsApp... I'm certain the issue you are facing is due to a third party app... Next time the sound stops, try clearing your recent apps... And see if that fixes the issue ...
I'm having the same issue and I do not have the hike app

It could as well be another third party app... Doesn't necessarily have to be hike..... Try and see if clearing your recent apps fixes the issue for you
What does clearing mean? Like delete my apps?

I am also running into this issue. Im still in the process of uninstalling apps one by one to narrow it down if it is an app thats causing it. Has anyone pin pointed what is causing this? Im almost ready to factory reset the phone and add the apps back one by one but I would rather not spend the time.

I had that same issue with certain apps. For me though, I didn't realize the extent of Data Saver and had to allow Gmail and whatnot to have unrestricted access and then they started popping in right away.
You wouldn't happen to use Data Saver on your phone?
Just a thought
Cheers!
I appear to have this issue however, safe mode, factory resetting, etc does not fix it. I do not get notification/phone/music sounds.
This issue is still there even after the 8.1 update... Anyone got it fixed?
For me the notifications won't make any sounds, they pop up but silently. I tried playing some music and the speaker works, I also didn't have any issue with alarms. Just notifications.

I have a Nexus 6P and my wife has a Pixel XL and we were both having the same issue with 8.1, no notification sound with text messages and call ring tone. I did most of the suggestions that I have found online (factory reset, clear cache/data in messaging app, change sound) but none of them worked. I was about to downgrade to 8.0 but I saw that both of the apps (messages and phone) were being "optimized". I disabled battery optimization on messages and phone, rebooted and so far it seems to have fixed it. My only guess is that they optimized those apps a little too much. Good luck.

I also noticed the issue on v8.1 that I flashed a few days ago. Thought it would have been fixed by now. Ended up downgrading to v7.1.2 again to fix the issue.
Oreo is NOT ready for prime time in my opinion.
