[Q] Disable lock screen widget

[Bic Finepoint]

Is there a way to disable lock screen widgets without closing the playing audio.

I listen audio through my bluetooth and keep my phone in my pocket. Currently leaving anything playing keeps a widget on the top of the lock screen. All to frequently I find that I have skipped the song I wanted to hear or have jumped forward 25 minutes in my book. I found a setting in Podcast Addict and that app no longer does it.

I am rooted and using the stock rom. Would screen shots help?

I went ahead and contacted Samsung, the say it cannot be done.

Explain to me in more detail what you mean because I stream music and books, etc.. from my phone all day long and have no issues with it.

As an example, I use NPR One I launch the app, start streaming audio then press the power button to lock and power off the screen. If the power button gets pressed again the lock screen has audio controls. In this case it would only be play/pause and skip. I don't want those controls on the lock screen.
