My N4 was just updated to 4.2.1, is stock unrooted.
When I have the music player up on the main screen and i lock the screen. The lock screen is glitching and showing a translucent music player coming in and out of existence. It makes it difficult to swipe left or right to access widgets or the camera. But if you manage to start swiping the glitching stops. If i then unlock the phone and hit the home button, the music player sends the controls to the notification bar. Then if i lock the device it doesn't glitch out.
Has anyone else noticed this / can you test it quick? I have to note I am using Klipsch S4A with the Klpisch control app as well. (could it be this is what is causing the issues? I was thinking it might not be optimized for the latest update)
Unfortunately I failed to notice this before the 4.2.1 update so i'm wondering what would cause this glitchyness. It seems to be mostly cosmetic though as it doesnt effect the unlocking of the phone or the music playing ONLY the swiping to the widgets or camera. Very strange.
I've noticed that my music thing doesn't show up on the lock screen half the time but I use double twist so it could be a app update needed for mine

It seems the widgets and the music player are conflicting. The clock randomely shifts from the main lock screen to being just off screen to back again - all the while the music player is glitching through the lock screen from the main screen.
ok it just happened again even though the music player was reduced to the notification's bar. Although this is the first time, I can only reproduce the issue if the music player is maximized on the main screen. I'm going to take screen shots tonight and update.
As you can see there seems to be gltiching between the music player and the camera widget. It happens randomly not just when I have the music player up on the main screen. Is anyone else experiencing this??

Yeah I get this too.
So I hadn't noticed my "play music" app had an update available. Guess what? Problem solved haha...

I have noticed now that the music player is supposed to replace (or maybe not?) the clock widget on the lock screen so you can control you music. It's only worked properly a couple of times, most of the time it stays in notifications bar or i get the damn glitching again. This has to be a lock screen widget bug.
I haven't found a definite answer yet,
but anybody knows for sure it's a bug for 4.2.1 for stock Music app controls not to show up on lock screen during playback??
I haven't seen any other bugs reported earlier in this thread.
UPDATE: Restarted and it started working..
Yeah sometimes it works properly...seems to be random

Same issue sometimes !
Same thing happens with me too sometimes ! Not quite often ! I usually lock again, and it behaves normal !
This happens on my phone every time I use Google Music. It doesn't crash anything, it just look unattractive when trying to unlock the phone.
hi, i noticed it too. you can force this glitch by 1.) starting a track in gmusic.
then 2.) go to the homescreen and list all recent opened apps an swype gmusic away.
you will notice that the music continues.
3.) now lock your device by pushing the power key an push it one more time to get to te lockscreen.
On the lockscreen there will be the gmusic widget.
4.) tick "next track " on the gmusic lockscreen widget.
Same thing happening to me on my Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod 10.1
Not only Google Music but other players too.
Same thing happens on my SGSII on CyanogenMod 10.1
I see it with Pocket Cast podcast app.
It's a bug in the lockscreen widgets - I have it freeze on me every few days
It's a reported bug.

Star it so it gets more attention.
I am looking for a Lockscreen replacement, but I want it to support two things:
1. "iPhone-like" notifcations from all apps (gmail, chompsms++).
2. A widget that shows whatever is playing now with controls.
I really like the stock lock screen, but it does 1. only with it's stock apps. The only apps that keeps a notification on my setup is missed calls. It also has a nice music widget that shows both music from Wimp and Play music when it is playing. It also shows album art from my podcasts when playing in Pocket Casts. However the widget is a little "flakey". It works sometimes and not always.
Ca anyone recommend a lockscreen I can try or a setup that provides my two requests?
Hi Xda fans
I recently Purchased the G900W8 and Ive run into the following issue.
I don't have any music on my phone and there aren't any videos yet either, but still the Music player shortcut controls keep coming up on my lock screen. at random times multiple times a day (without opening the Music player app) the music controls will come up on the lock screen even tho there is nothing to play. When i open my Task Manager/ Active applications tab its all clear and even when i clear my recent apps tab the controls will still be on my lock screen.
The only way i can get rid of the controls on the lock screen is by opening the Music Player app then going and going and clearing the recent apps and forcing the app to close.
Then the Controls will be gone from my lock screen, for about an hour or so.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I didn't find this anywhere else so I do hope it's something new and it's not just me missing something.
I suppose you already know of the illumination bar bug that enables you to have the illumination bar's light dancing with the screen off or when out of the walkman app. If not, all you have to do is make a shortcut of the walkman app on a homescreen, have something playing on the app, and then while on the screen with the shortcut, tap the walkman app and then quickly tap the home button. Now after you've done that the illumination bar will work out of the walkman app and/or with the screen off.
Now on to the new fun stuff I discovered. Install poweramp(haven't tested with other music players) and do the bug mentioned above. Make sure the bug worked(if you're on the home screen and the illumination bar lights up with walkman playing it worked) and then just go to poweramp and tap on a song to play. Now you just caused another bug, a more interesting one. This time the illumination bar works with (almost)any sound coming out of your phone. For example the light will dance with a game's music just like it did with walkman. The only 'downside' is that the colour will always be that of the song that played on the walkman app before you played the song in poweramp.
Illumination bar API... lol
Android version this was tested on is 4.1.2, build number 12.0.A.2.254
Is not a new thing, is just nobody cares abou that (?)
Actually, you don't need to install or run another music player, you just need reproduce anything that cuts off music (some music games for example).... So the steps would be: turn on light bug > while playing music make it stop but no close (start a game with music, the old "ram problem" chrome+walkman works) > voilà
I've got an issue with my music apps since I updated my M3 to the new B308 version. No matter what music app i use (spotify, deezer, various music player from the Play Store) the controls (previous, next, play/pause) in the notification bar and on the lock screen don't work. The control bar is showing but taping the buttons doesn't do anything. The only app which buttons work is the default music app. Can you guys help out?
