[squishyflavour]

Hi,

There are no music controls in the Lockscreen when i play music in Spotify .

I hope this get fixed very quickly ! Have anybody else the same problem ?

I had this problem before with my MATE 7 .. but since the last Update on Android 6 it worked perfectly.

Why again Huawei?

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?

you need to root your device first

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.
