Lollipop seems to have eliminated lock screen widgets.
My main lock screen widget was controls for a music player (I'm using Shuttle), so that I don't have to unlock the phone to start and stop music.
How can I do this in Lollipop?
If shuttle (sorry, never used it) has interactive notifications, it'll show on the lock screen when playing music .

Hit and miss depending on app I think. Play and Spotify do. But if pattern lock and sensitive data option selected, play does and Spotify is censored.
Interactive notifications will let me stop music that's playing. It won't let me start the music from the lockscreen, something I could do with Kit Kat.

Play also shows on the lock screen when it's active, but I can't start it from the lock screen if it's inactive.
How do I use music controls with Play on Lollipop? I can't seem to figure it out...

Yeah, Lockscreen widgets are no more. When do you usually listen to music? when you insert headphones? Connect to a bluetooth receiver? You can use the app Trigger and set up certain triggers that will start music. I use it in my car. When it connects to my Bluetooth receiver, it will automatically open the music app and start playing music. I don't touch my phone and my phone doesn't even turn on. You can have it activate using other triggers though.

Play a song and the notification will appear in your notification bar and on the lockscreen. Depending on the app you use I guess. I use Google Music

Plugging in a headphone is not as convenient as just touching the screen, and it costs, but that is a creative solution to something that wasn't previously a problem

Well that was just an example. What you need is an app that puts a persistent music control notification in your status bar which will show on your lock screen. That's the only way you are going to get a widget like feature on the lock screen. I don't know of one though. Try searching the Play Store

Excuse the noobnes lol but can you like rewind and such from the lock screen? All i see is the ability to skip forward. Holding the app does nothing in the notification. Pulling it down gives me the option of going forward but no rewind or fast forward. Is this possible like onKK?
I use Play Music latest update as well.

I don't think they made the notification that advanced. It's just a simple Pause/Play and Skip notification.

Well I don't really see the problem with tapping on the notification which will open straight to the song that is playing and you can do all that there. It's not that much to do.

Double tap the lockscreen notification, enter pin (or otherwise unlock), then it opens to the song.
It is possible to get google music lockscreen widget with settings
Hi All,
For those who miss google music widget on lockscreen, here's how to get it back :
- Go to Settings
- Go to Sound and Notifications
- Go to App notifications
- Look for Google Music or any other music app you got : Select Priority in order to force widget to be shown
I suggest you try this tip with any broken lockscreen widget
Cheers

These are not widgets. They are ongoing notifications.
..and to expand on what you're saying, what you actually need to do is:
- go to sound and notifications
- set "when device locked" to "show all notification content" instead of "hide sensitive notification content"
- Go to app notifications
- Set any apps you want to be sensitive individually to sensitive
Priority only does 2 things
1) Sets the Notification in pull down at top when unlocked
2) Allows notifications to come through when in priority notification mode
Setting priority will not allow the notification on lock screen if it is set to sensitive.
That doesn't do what I wanted.
What I asked for in the OP was a way to start and stop music from the lockscreen. The entire priority notification process only shows the widget if music is already playing.
It does not show a widget or notification to start music when a music app is not playing.

I continue to find it annoying that Lollipop requires three actions - swipe, unlock (which usually requires multiple clicks), click play - while KK required one - click play.
i use stitcher and spotify alot, and withe very other android phone I can play/pause from the lockscreen, as theres a notification banner for it.
this phone doesn't have one. I have to unlock the phone, swipe down, and then get into the app from the notification shade.
Any way to access open apps from the lockscreen?
So far, you can't do nothing, EMUI is like that

I use Spotify on my Honor 8 and it shows me album art, along with play/pause/forward/back buttons on the lock screen for the currently playing song...
Not sure why you're not seeing the same. Are you using something other than the default "Magazine"-style lock screen that the phones uses by default?
You can use the software to unlock the way, but requires root privileges

When using stitcher for podcasts, i must unlock the phone first before I can swipe down and access podcast controls.
I got the oreo update two days ago and I'll be posting any eventual bugs and changes while using it. Thread will be regularly updated.
Changes:
Quick Settings Dropdown fully opens, showing all the quick settings. I believe this has been intentionally implemented since it happens when there are no notifications. With notifications there's one row and you can further pull down for the rest.
Adaptive icons: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive.html
sRGB and advanced Bluetooth audio Codecs in the developer settings.
Picture in picture mode. It's enabled by default and works flawlessly with WhatsApp video call and Google Maps. Haven't tested any other apps. (Only Youtube Red works with this mode the normal YouTube app isn't able at the moment).
Settings rearranged. Looks cleaner and easier to navigate through.
Ui: they changed the colors and the homescreen icons grew bigger but no major changes in the design aspects.
New system navigation options offering now one button nav controls. (Not sure if that was there before)
Some apps/games where added and can be easily unistalled.
Fixes :
FINALLY no more Touchscreen delay and better responsiveness. Touch is even more precise now. Had huge issues with the swipe to del feature of SwiftKey (5 out 10 times it wouldn't work) and games like table tennis work flawlessly. Very happy about this!
FINALLY I can lower the loudspeaker volume to an acceptable level cause the lowest setting on nougat was extremely loud. (the maximum level of the in ear speaker was less loud of the lowest loudspeaker setting)
The battery management has been changed and it gives more options for controlling which apps should run in the background and now it offers auto launch management. Works as it should since on the nougat build, Spotify would always run in the background even when there's no music playing (had to always force stop the app).
Bugs :
Android system keeps showing a notification bar and icon each time an app is running in the background. Although it's not a bug, it's annoying as hell and can be disabled by going in to the app settings and disabling notifications for Android system.
I'm migrating from my old OnePlus to S8+, and was previously spoint wrt gesture controls from a locked screen.
This was particularly valuable whilst driving, as I could control media playing with swipes without needing to take my eyes off the road to unlock my mobile.
Is there a way to achieve this outcome?
My thoughts was either incorporating or otherwise hijacking gesture controls or finding a SIMPLE Edge Panel App that would have the basic controls available, including forwarding & rewinding (& not just skipping)
So its been 7 days since I updated my Galaxy S9 + to the official Android 9 Pie. I am loving it overall. I think moving the UI elements to the bottom was a nice touch, leaning towards one hand operation. I panicked at first seeing all that wasted space but once you scroll down, it returns to normal. Love the Dark mode but not fond of the quick panel icons, no big deal. So far i had notice these bugs or feature omissions:
• No inertia scrolling in recent Apps (no rubber band effect). Scrolling is just one at a time.
• Some animation Jittering and Stuttering in the UI but less frequent now as the OS settled.
• The options when you click the middle of the divider in split screen view is not working/showing up.
• Good lock Apps stopped working except One Hand Operation
• Good Lock One hand operation is miles better IMO than the new gesture system, even better than the stock pie gestures and Apple gestures. Why don't they just bake One hand operation into the system is beyond me. But at least we can hide the nav bar natively now. One hand operation can co-exist with default gestures without affecting each other.
• Finder seems slow in Pie than in Oreo. It doesn't show the most recent search (by showing the app icons) i made and often requires me to tap twice the name of the app then another selection of related things about that app and that is where the icon will appear. Multiple taps instead of one.
• Dolby Atmos for games seems missing
• Swiping down in the homescreen to show notifications Panel needs a long swipe down as oppose to before needs only a small swipe down.
• Gallery - some very high resolution photos are not displayed properly. You can see jagged/rough lines all through out. But when you set the photo into wallpaper, homescreen shows the same photos correctly.
• Samsung Internet - PiP button is gone and couldn't find it anymore even in settings.
• Keyboard - when gestures are on (nav bar is hidden) and keyboard is showing there is a large gap at the bottom as if the nav bar is still there
• Network name overlaps with notification settings in the notifications panel if you have many notifications.

1. Scrolling between recents doesn't stop at each app in recents on the k list recent C builds.
2. Don't atmos for games was reported as being somewhere different. I don't use it so I'm not sure where.
3. The keyboard gap is intentional. It's too help avoid hitting home when using space bar. If you use swiftkey there is no gap. I got home often when not intending to when using space bar.
4. Nav Gestures are appreciated here. No reason for something new when bar / gestures are fine. It's nice there's another option, but no reason it should be default IMHO.

1. How about in yours? So looks like it was not implemented in the official and not just me.
2. I set atmos to auto so i guess it automatically set it for games, movies, and music, etc. But no option for games only. It is in Sounds and Vibration>Advanced Sound Settings>Sound Quality and Effects
3. Ok
4. Ok to each their own. One Hand Operation + was released since June 2018 along with other Good lock Apps so its not really new. It gives us a taste of the upcoming Pie update. And as it name says, it allows you to use the left and right edges for gestures in one hand. Try to reach the nav bar and do the new default gestures with your thumb with one hand and you'll know what I mean.

1. Yes, in the Z build I used it would stop at each app. I hated it. On CSA3 it works like in oreo.
2. I'm not sure where I read it, but there was something specific about Dolby for gaming mode being hidden off somewhere else. I didn't put much thought into it since I don't game. Could have even been in the pie thread for the 965F.
4. I do occasionally have a problem reaching that one button with my thumb in one handed mode. I've gotten used to it to be honest. The S9+ isn't the biggest device I've owned. The v20 and Nexus 6 were bigger.
That said, I can see the value in more one handed items. Choice is definitely a good thing. I'm just happy with the current implementation.
On the flip side, Samsung (and others) are always out to take more market share. I think they are seeing the error made by Apple. You can't raise prices and force unwanted changes on customers. Sticking with a more established bar / gestures would be the way I'd go. When you try to get new users, you want to give them something fairly familiar.
Just my opinion though.....
Its terrible IMO. Probably the worst implementation of Pie. Samsung went from having the best skin to the worst now.
After Factory Reset
Deal Breakers :-
1:- Recents animation is worse than 200$ phone. When u are inside an app and press or trigger recents menu. It glitches and lags like everytime. Its only smooth when u are in the homescreen.
2:- Device Care Stuck at 95% for a long time before it shows status.
3:- Launcher sometimes lags when scrolling between pages.
4:- Scrolling lag in apps like reddit and playstore. Oreo scrolling was smooth.
Lag is the major issue in pie however IMO the icons are literally the worst now too. Experience Ui icons were 100x better.
It's good. It's fixed my bluetooth latency issue.
Does anyone have problem with Samsung Cloud failing to sync?

I didn't factory reset, but that was the most annoying the recents scrolling. Animations in almost everywhere were lagging but as the OS settled and after a few reboots, its fluid 98% of the time. But still, i missed oreo due to its fluidity and icons and quick panel icons. No issues with device care.
Plugging in charger sound/volume is annoying. Was better/more subtle on Oreo.
So far so good despite the jitters on my BT phone (Sennheiser 4.50), if I use with wires, no problems at all... of if I use with another BT phone like Anker, no problems too.

Well... I am thinking of going back to Oreo acually..
1.Hangs, reboots
2.Stock launcher has this huge space underneath icons even with gestures on, same space thing on stock keyboard(using gboard removes it on keyboard)
3.My games dont launch like they did on Oreo
4.Notifications are messed up, constant connect/disconnect on my gear 3, even when turned of they show sometimes.
Maybe Goodlock 2019 will keep me on 9... but atm im very tempted to go back to 8.0 :/
For me, the One UI is great. But I don't like, that they removed the Audio Source in the USB-Settings.
When using DEX Pad the screen of the phone remains on until it times out and turns off. But when clicking on a text input field the screen turns on again. DEX is still missing a lot of functionality like widgets and direct dial shortcuts for example.
Video call audio issues
while onj video call in IMO the audio seems to be broken and blurry sound is heard
I love it aside from game launcher going MIA, thought it was just a beta thing but guess not
Found out it's more AT&T BS
Has anyone noticed the volume is so much quieter now? Looking for solutions. I'm not hard of hearing but I can barely hear my sounds anymore. That is a HUGE deal breaker for me, even tho there are some things I'm liking. Plus good Lock. Used that daily, multiple times a day. Now I have to remember to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth and vice versa multiple times a day to keep my battery in check. PITA. But that is negligible to the volume issue.
I´m pleased with OneUI... however, I really hate the fact that I cant turn of adaptive icons in Pie/OneUI. The third party apps get the worst loocking icons ever...

I installed Nova Premium at first, but when I changed icontheme Nova started to randomly change size of the icons. Even if I changed it back two hours later it got a different size. Not all icons, just random ones.
