Power Toggles - Music Controls not working (possibly because of 4.3)? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So on my home screen I've used the app power toggles a little bit in my setup. Though recently, when redoing my home screen today I've noticed that the music controls have not been working. I did just update my phone to 4.3 so I'm not sure if that's the reason why. Anyone else have issues?

What version of Android are you running? Stock 4.2.2 or 4.3? Or a custom rom?

Looks like it is grayed out on my side (back, Pause/Play and forwards).

If you are using a third party launcher, it could be causing the issues.

Negative. As I am using Apex launcher pro and PT is working absolutely fine. Prior to that i was using stock launcher and it was working great on that too.
OP check the version you are using and report back.

Thing is though, prior I was using Power Toggles (and the music buttons) with Nova Launcher Prime previously and there wasn't issue.

Closest thing I've been able to find from Googling around is this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/300241-power-control-widget-bug-4-3-a.html
Seems like it's an issue with Nova possibly when you update to 4.3 and use power toggles. Not sure if that's the case but the only thing I've found so far.

I have seen some posts on other forums where Nova is causing issues with widgets in general.

You can go to the Play Store page for Nova and weed thru the reviews, picking out the ones that mention 4.3, and you will see what I mean.

Miui jellybean is the best rom i use so far

I said it because this rom has no problem with media scanner. I can view all my media files easily without having to wipe usb storage or to delete .nomedia or what so ever. It currently my daily use rom. Im happy playing with it event it lacks in mode.

dont know what your having problems with... probably flashed at least 8 different JB roms... never had media problems.
Honestly cant stand miui, tons of engrish and straight up asian characters EVERYWHERE.
Maybe u are a lucky guy who hv a lucky nexus s. Im having this media problem from the 1st jb rom i flashed. Miui.us is the first jb rom that i fully satisfied because there is no problem with media. It doesnt mean that i dislike the other roms. But yeah. I love rom that can play music and smooth .

No way...miui ics was much better...

I've flashed nearly every jb Rom available for my ns4g, with the exception of miui. I've never liked the look of miui. I've never had a problem with media files, but have seen and helped correct several issues that resulted from the rom manager app update that put the files where they didn't belong...

It means he's a racist
when i use chomp sms , sometimes get force close
Everything is actually noticeably faster for me including the web browser. The default music player it has is pretty awesome too. Task bar is good. The only problem I have so far is the default web browser is having trouble with JW player. Every time I try to play a clip it goes to a 403 forbidden error. Other than that, it's a lot snappier than the ICS rom I had before (also MIUI, Oodie Prime).

[Q] About ParanoidAndroid's Tablet UI

Hi, I'm using ParanoidAndroid's Latest build which is 2.99 beta 5 and running trinity kernel @1.4ghz when I choose tablet UI on ParanoidAndroid's settings, it goes to tablet UI but the app doesn't. For example is the youtube app which supposed to be look like a 3d'ish kind of look as it was in tablets but it's still look like a Phablet UI. Is it possible to gain True Tablet UI on this particular build? Thank you in advance! and Am I able to run Jays buttery goodness on this one? How? Thanks again!

The latest build is beta 9.5,but you should be able to force the right ui in apps settings in pa preferences.

The new YouTube doesn't have the same old layout since they removed tablet ui from 4.2. You can find a link for the old help you tube in the PA thread in the development section I believe.

[Q] Lag, lag, lag...

I love that there's a great selection of ROMs for the Find 5. My problem is that they all run really smooth at first but then start to lag badly after installing apps. I barely modify any of the launcher settings. I've experienced this with every ROM I have flashed. I am using TWRP and always reset to factory settings and wipe the system before installing a ROM and I still experience lag. Am I doing anything wrong or any ideas on what to do to get rid of the lag?
You getting lag on stock also? I haven't noticed any real lag anywhere :-/
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
When I was on stock I would get a little lag, and the UI in general would be choppy, some frame drops. Its worse when I flashed any of the ROMs. At first its smooth, then it starts to slow down.

Stock firmware.. Either the betas or "official" releases.
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
On both Official and Beta firmware, I get the same experience. CM 10.1 has been the best for me so far bit it still lags quite a bit. I see people post that some custom ROMs are as smooth as a stock Nexus 4 but I can't get close to that at all with any of them. I have a Nexus 4 and its buttery smooth. I just wish I can get my Find 5 to be as smooth....then I'd be extremely happy.

Well if you think about it. It's never going to be as quick as the nexus 4
Oppo find 5 = Qualcomm s4
resolution = 1080 full hd
Nexus 4 = Qualcomm s4
resolution = 720 hd
The processor is getting pushed a lot harder.
I've been on firmware 5/14 and 2 days lag free....

Missing My Stock Android Features

I'm coming from a romed Samsung Galaxy Nexus using Android 4.3. The reasons why I bought this phone are:
1. The large, bright, crystal clear screen
2. The ability to multitask (having two apps pulled up and interacting with both of them).
3. The new S Pen
I miss some of my stock android features. Reallllly hoping someone creates a stock android rom for this. Miss the ability to reply to texts from the pull down notification window and miss the stock keyboard auto correct features.

DO u feel a bit laggy comparing to nexus 5? I felt so. Press on the running application button sometimes took a split sec longer. Navigate thru the ui sometimes jerk a bit.

It is very laggy compared to HTC m8. Maybe I need to disable Xperia launcher and quick apps.

Google Now definitely came with my Z2 phone and tablet.
No lagg whatsoever, extremely fast.
It was disabled by default but as soon as you use google search (swipe up to right from home), it asks if you want to turn it on.
The Google now launchervis a home launcher. As in like the nexus 5 homescreen. Or nova launcher etc.
