I like to listen to music on Spotify while browsing the web or using social media on my galaxy s8, Does anybody know how to play next song or previous song while you are in a different app? I don't even know how to change to next song even when I am on Homescreen, the only method I know is to go inside Spotify and do it from there...
If you're using Spotify just use the notification drop down from the top bar. You'll find music controls there as long as Spotify is running in the background. As for the homescreen, you can add a Spotify widget that shows album art, title and artist name along with the music control.
If you activate the music control lock screen widget, that will give you music controls for Spotify on the lock screen (found in facewidget settings)
Thank you guys, spotify notifications were turned off that was the problem

I play music from Google Play Music at my work with my phone on wireless charger. I would love to be able to glance to my phone and see the song that's currently playing, coz I have bought quite a lot of albums and not sure which is which.
Is there an app (maybe if not I will write one) that displays the music being played? The one on lockscreen is perfect, but I can't keep the screen on on the lockscreen.
I managed to use dashclock + music extension, but the words are too small.
Lockscreen media buttons override current playing app and start "stock" player music
Hi guys,
This is my first thread and my english isn't so good, so dont mind me if I make couple of mistakes
Nor try to help me do better next time, thanks
I have one little problem with my Huawei Ascend Mate 7, version L09 with B137 ROM on KitKat 4.4.2
Well it happens when I play (for example) music on soundcloud and lock my phone, music continues playing in background but when i press "power" button to wake screen up and try to pause music, the soundcloud stops playing and the stock music app lauches and plays music from my library,
It happens same when i try to go next / previous track.
I tried :
►* 1 to change between apps :
Spotify, DI.FM radio, youtube, google music, xiaalive app, all of them have media lockscreen option and none of them seem to work on my phone
►*2 Changed default music app under "applications manager" and that havent fixed the issue either.
►*3 Deleted completely "stock player music.apk app" after obtaining root permission and this just made it worse,
Now when I press play button on lockscreen media buttons all my music apps start playing in same time
►*4 Tried to download any lockscreen app from "play store" which has media buttons on, for example (Next, Echo, CM Locker Start Lockscreen,
This can make media buttons to work normaly now, and not interract with stock music player app or any other music application you have installed on your phone, it perfectly focuses media buttons to application thats currently ON and playing music in background, includes art work too
BUT, as always there is something you must risk, and this might be a huge gap
When you download any lockscreen app from "play store", this will change your default huawei lockscreen and it will disable fingerprint option,
So if you want to "throw away" such a option as a fingerprint, this might be a fix for you
I hope someone has time here to try if same bugg happens on your devices and if it had happend and you found a fix which does not mean "avoding" use of fingerprint option, please say how
Highly appreciated for your reply's and advices
Thanks
It's aggravating
Mine does that too. I installed next lockscreen to override but it doesn't allow Fingerprint unlock. Also my soundcloud now playing disappears from notification tray. And youtube soundcloud urls don't open in app. No default choice for soundcloud or browser. And if my phone restarts, my wallpapers and defaults go back to stock including ringtone. And sharing to other apps always is difficult because it picks one and then automatically shares to it. So iI haveto uninstall the app it shares to and reinstall.
With music streaming app like Tidal, there is no way to play next on lockscreen. The widget just doesnt' show up like stock player does. Is there any way to fix this? Your workaround is much appreciated. Thanks.
Got the same problem with Spotify. I noticed that the version B152 shows the widget. The updates after B152 doesn't show it anymore..
that what is always see
updates fix one error
damage alot else
The same happens to me with Beyondpod and PocketCast podcasts apps, and with Eleven music app.
But lockscreen controls appears with Google Music App.
I do not understand, it so hard to make all programs can have their lockscreen controls in Huawei Emui??
I hope some solution comes in form of a flashable zip or else.
Same here with Apple Music. No music control widget!
+1 (PlayerPro)
I'm just wondering if there is a way to fix music controls on screen when using a music player on the phone. I hate that I need to go to my watch and slide to music widget so I can change the song, I feel like it would be faster taking my phone from the pocket and doing it from the lockscreen.
Thanks
Set up the music app as a double press shortcut. I did this and change songs all the time while I'm riding a bike. For further info see: http://www.wareable.com/samsung/samsung-gear-s2-tips-and-tricks-776
Best solution I've found for this problem (and others where persistent display is concerned) is to use Wearable Widgets. I use this to control Amazon Music, for example, on my phone from my S2. WW has a "watchface" which is simply the configured widget(s) from the phone.
Is there any music player that has an album toggle button? I've been through dozens of music players and can't find any with this feature. I use my tablet in my car and I want to be able to hit one button to toggle between album, shuffle, and normal. Obviously I can go through the menus and switch from album to songs but I want something quick and easy while driving.
