This is a bug with Android 7.0, I believe even the pixel had this. It was fixed with the release of Android 7.1 so hopefully Huawei will release an update soon.

It's not an issue with my Nexus 6P in 7.1 neither in 7.0 but it's present on my Mate 9 even with the latest update.

Maybe go to Spotify application in the settings and enable show on lock screen.

I doubt it's that. I also don't have lockscreen controls for Google Play music, and that doesn't appear to have any setting to enable lockscreen controls. It was just there automatically on my Note 3 on Lollipop, but not on my Mate 9.

I have noticed, that Mate 9 doesn't show any notifications on lockscreen, that are alredy during locking. This essentially means, that when song changes in spotify while phone is in sleep mode, and then you wake it up, spotify buttons will be there.
Seems like a bug to me.

It's not a bug. Huawei knows this and the latest update (B138) change log clearly mentions that the issue with third party muzic players on lock screen is fixed.

1. If it's not a bug, then it's intentional. Why would they need to "fix" something that isn't a bug?
2. I'm on B138, and it's not fixed.

Got this problem too on my Mate 8, although Google Play Music controls work on my lockscreen.

Found A Fix!?

I know that on the honor 8 they were broken. Firmware b380 fixes it for the honor 8. I am currently on b183 with my mate 9 and it doesn't work. I have the us unlocked.
Also never had this issue with my HTC 10 when it updated to nougat.

have you tried this?

At least for Google Play Music, it's mostly fixed in the latest US firmware (183). The first time you power up the phone to the lock screen after starting music, they aren't there. But if you power it back off, then back on, they are there, and work fine after that.

For me the music controls show up on the lockscreen after it plays the 2nd track onwards.
So you fast forward the first song to the last 10 seconds and lock the screen. When it goes to the next track, the spotify control will pop up on the lockscreen.

Guys the problem is fixed with the newest update B172. I am using C636

Yet strangely, for the newest US update (B183), it's not fixed. Though it is fairly benign since you can just power it off and back on again, and the lock screen controls are there after that.

omg, this is so frustrating, how hard is it to have your Spotify music player displayed on your lock screen...such a basic fundamental need for those commuting, so mighty pissed, slight regret is setting in, I'm missing my Samsung note, I dislike apple because they come across as controlling, now android is morphing into some sort of a control freak also, cannot disable lock screen, now cannot see Spotify, the brightness doesn't auto adjust for the smart sleep cover, had to download an app for that...wtffff....Helppppp

have controls on my lock screen when using spotify so i would say its not very hard to have it.

Google Play Music not recognising touch properly in lock screen

I am not sure if this problem is exclusive to onePlus one but the google play music lock screen widget doesnt recognise my touch properly. I often have to tap 10 times for my touch to register. I enabled visual feedback for touches and can see that the OS is registering my touch. I dont understand why this is not reaching the widget.
I am adding a short screencast that shows the problem.
I assume you've updated to O5Q then? Mine was fine until I did it and now it never works. The touchscreen is perfect otherwise.

Android Oreo Developer Preview Image Released!

This preview of the Oreo build is updated with the March 2018 security patches. It is Android Oreo, version 8.1. If you want to use this, keep in mind that this is a development preview! It is not the final release. There are also a few things to note about using it.
It requires you to be bootloader unlocked (unlocking wipes your phone)
This update will wipe your phone even if you're already unlocked
You will not get any OTAs while on this build
VoLTE and WiFi Calling might not work
No CTS, so Android Pay/Pokemon Go may not work
May be some undocumented bugs
If you're fine with all of that, then the download link can be found on Razer's developer page about the update.
If you want to go back to the stock Nougat images, just follow the instructions here.
If anyone does this can they show us some videos

Look up a video of Oreo on a Pixel. It looks exactly the same.
No default white theme like normal Oreo same default theme as nougat.
Screen now has a colour option which can be set to show more vibrant colours.
Double tap to sleep (only on lockscreen)
Speakers seem louder than before.
And all the normal Oreo stuff
Also Pokémon go does work.

Color options and more power for the speakers are both great news. Much excited.
I'm tinkering with GSIs and I've realised you can go into Download Mode by tapping the Power button several times as soon as the Razer logo pops up (before the orange 'tampered' message appears).
In case that helps someone ^

Anyone having Bluetooth mic issues on this preview?
Just got a new BT headset with a built in mic and it ain't working. Just thought I'd check in here before returning it.
I went back to Nougat but did anyone else notice the screen colours go between vibrant and normal all the time? noticed it on the lockscreen, Keyboard and quick toggles but it only seemed to happen with colourful stuff. Default Razer wallpaper, Coloured keyboard and theme applied etc
Yes @Roxas598 I did notice the colors change from vibrant to normal a lot. And I've been watching Netflix on it lately as well and have been watching the second season of a series of unfortunate events and the whole show has been looking darker than it should, making it hard to watch even with brightness all the way up.

I already reported the issue but wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Thanks!
My Fitbit is not being recognised at all, and my bluetooth mic on my new headphones doesn't work. So it looks like there are some issues with Bluetooth which I'll revert to stock to resolve. Not bad so far, but obviously being close to stock means it doesn't feel much different to 7.1, certainly not enough that you get that excited buzz we once got back when Android revisions were massively different.

Android 11 Beta 2 Released

Just downloaded the Beta 2 OTA from google's site: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota#
Go get it!! Already downloaded and installed on my P4XL. Checking it out now.
Yup just downloaded and flashed and have root still??
Currently on it! Improvement in animation in some places, better landscape to portrait transition.
Missing clock option from themes
Music player now looks better, I think no more an experimental feature.
Final api released good for developers.
Recently screen tweaked a bit no share option anymore.
Yet to find other changes

Restart button vanished from power menu! Great
Updating my Taimen now. About to be in a meeting so I need my Coral working, do will update later.
From Coral, with Tapatalk
Problems I have noticed are
The screen flickers a lot especially when using dark theme and a dark themed app.
I'm also missing new media controls.
Anyone got these problems?
does the navigation bar still remain on the home screen even on beta 2?
Flickering here too

I have the flicker issue too, media controls are there though.
I've noticed there's no longer the option to force 90hz now either in developer settings which I presume would resolve the flicker issue.

Just done a quick test and turned brightness up above 70%ish the flickering stops or just isn't noticeable.
Flicking is so annoying.. is there any fix?
Maybe custom kernel? I can't watch on this stroboscope
Anyone got Magisk working on the new beta? The canary build that was reported working on beta 1 isn't booting for me. (I never tried beta 1 myself.)
Here is my experience...
1) The flickering screen is annoying
2) I had no problems rooting via Magisk
2a) After rooting my Messages app stopped receiving messages but I was able to send them without issue
2b) I could not update apps from the Google Play store. It would just say "Downloading" but nothing would happen
2c) The Google weather widget on the home screen would not show the weather nor would it take me to Google weather when I clicked it. It seemed disabled.
I have since re-flashed the latest Beta but didn't root. All of the above issues, aside from the screen flickering, have been resolved,
Lots of flickering
Terrible flickering...
The flickering exists also at Beta 1 but only at very low brightness (environment and system brightness). Now screen flickering regardless of environment and system brightness (except at extreme high system brightness...) as long as background is not totally black.
Flickering sucks! OMG! No media controls here but do have force 90hz option still
Hopefully the flickering issues can be fixed with a 2.5 patch or maybe play services/kernel update ??

I have tried a few ways no luck yet.
As for other people the flicking screen I have it in this beta . I had it before Beta too, It's the 60hz - 90hz refresh rate. Sucks to say but if you disable it fixes the problem.
I don't see the flickering on my device. Yes to using dark mode, force dark mode, enabling 90 Hzv display (no more force), and playing a couple games at well as watching videos, reading news...
It never shows. Or else I am not recognizing it - and I'm pretty sure I know what flickering means, so....
I do use figure mode to automatically pause most of my games and SoS I don't normally use at work during work hours, so maybe that is why?
Or else something else I might have done?
From Coral, with Tapatalk
I thought mine wasn't doing it to until just now. In dark room and looking at chrome settings while using dark mode. The grey background flickers like crazy... On a positive note at least it's safe to to back to Android 10 July without face unlock breaking
Anyone who is missing the new media controls, found any way to get them to work yet?

You can download it manually using xperifirm and flash it using flashtool.
You can do it all with flashtool 0.9.33.0, download and install because flashtool has xperifirm inside.

I just got the update today and now my phone is extremely slow to unlock/light up the screen after i press the unlock button, does anyone experience this too ?
Today I had the update as well. At first glance, no big changes. The only thing I noticed is that the options and icons on the top bar have changed. And the powermenu. I keep investigating.

I certainly don't face such an issue! The animations though, are a bit slower than they were on Android 10.
I am experiencing persistent bugs in Android 11 Update when you charge your phone completely turned off the power button have a delay response to power it on again and when you watch a movie on the sony album app the navigation buttons fades away then if you use the mx player as an alternative video app it closes from time to time it never happens in Android 10.

I don't have bugs but, the Overall experience feels kind of slower. Not slow, but slower than it used to be. The boot up also is about 5-7 seconds slower. It feels like they put some weight on the phone.
Edit : I will wait for a next update, to see if it fixes the phone's speed. Even though I don't think it will. If not, I'll do a clean install, and if even after it things don't change, previous Android 10 will be my daily driver.

Weird that you're boot up is slow mine seems faster and the boot animation now works than in Android 10 doesnt work it seems like it freezes.
