Can't pause music from lock screen in iOS 6?

I have my iPhone 4s set up with a passcode. In iOS 5 I could pause and resume music and podcasts without having to unlock the phone with my passcode. I no longer have that ability in iOS 6. If I have a song or podcast playing the phone will Auto-Lock after a minute, and to pause playback I have to slide the slider and then enter my passcode to make the controls visible.
I've done a fair number of searches to determine whether this can be controlled with a setting but haven't been able to find any answers. Am I missing a setting somewhere, or did Apple remove this functionality?
Thanks.
Shawn
PS: I wasn't planning on upgrading to iOS 6 any time soon, but I dropped my 11-month-old iPhone 4s a week ago during our first trip to New York. Smashed the front glass (couldn't find my bumper before we left). Out-of-warranty, no Apple Care. It turns out we were only a few blocks away from the upper west side Apple store. They replaced the shattered phone with a "new" one for $200 (plus $50 for Applecare and $30 for a case), but ended up with a phone running iOS 6. So now there's this lock screen control issue, plus the map issues (which weren't too bad). On the bright side, I made a lot of use of the Panorama photo feature on our trip. And I was happy we were able to get a replacement within an hour, even though it cost $200+.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner! Thanks so much Steve A. Double tapping the Home button does toggle the player controls on and off from the lock screen.
I was hoping it would be something simple like that.
Just wondering, is that functionality explained somewhere? As I wrote in my first post I did several searches to come up with a fix or explanation for this issue.
Cheers.

[iOS] Add to "Your Music" from Lock Screen on iPhone

As the new Apple Music has come out, they have introduced a "Love" button from the lock screen on iPhone- With this introduced it must be possible for developers to use that space to add a "Add to Your Music" If it is, then I would love that feature when riding my bike and don't have much time for leaving focus from the road.

Hide/Show Today View from Lock Screen in iOS 8

In iOS 7 I had customized for the Today View not to show from the lock screen. In iOS 7 the Setting was simple, Go to Settings > Notification Center > Turn Off "Today View" for the lock screen.
I updated to iOS 8 & the Today view is much more useful now so I want to bring it back on the lock screen but I can not! Going to Settings > Notifications, only shows the notifications but not a way to toggle on/off Today view.
WHERE CAN I CHOOSE TO HIDE/SHOW THE TODAY VIEW FROM THE LOCK SCREEN IN IOS 8?

Hi there original_p,
It looks like this setting has moved. Take a look at the User Guide for more information.
Notification Center - iPhone
Choose whether to show Today and Notifications View on a locked screen. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models), then choose whether to allow access when locked.

Can't switch users from lock screen in Cinnamon 2.0.14

Hi! I have searched the forum and couldn't find anything that answered my question.
The expected behaviour is that there should be a 'switch user' button on the lock screen to take the user to the login manager. Unfortunately this is not the case, and the only way to use the computer is to either log in to the last used account, or do a hard reset. Is there a configuration option somewhere that will enable such a button?
Thanks
P.S. Another slightly related question. Every time the computer wakes from sleep there is a brief pause while a line ending in 'suspend' is printed on a black screen. This is repeated on each wake so that there are multiple lines on the screen. Is there any way to stop this behaviour?

Unfortunately the suggestion on that page simply returns:

However, I have replaced GDM with LightDM and that is working perfectly. Thanks for telling me where to look!

[Mobile] Save Feature/Add to Your Music from Lock Screen

Please add Save feature in the lock screen for mobile devices (see picture below). It is annoying to have to unlock my phone every time I want to save a music I'm listening to.

Issues Control Center from lock screen in iOS 8

Since getting my iPhone 5S, and iOS 8, there were a couple of times I couldn’t access my camera from my lock screen. I didn’t think anything of it at first — I just brushed it off as carelessness — but then it happened a few more times this weekend. Not only could I not access the Camera, I couldn’t access Control Center either. I would swipe up on my screen, but nothing would happen. I tried multiple times. Nothing. Eventually, hours later, it would work, but I couldn’t figure out why it was only working intermittently.

There's only a couple things left you can do. One would be to do a restore, the other would be to have the hardware checked at an Apple store or Authorized Apple iPhone Service Provider.

How can i disable running status of recording from lock screen of iphone 5?

How can i disable running status of recording from lock screen of iphone 5?

You need to stop the recording. Is it reading Recording Paused? If so, instead of tapping the red button to stop it, tap the word DONE. That is what actually stops the recording. Tapping the red button just pauses it.

Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

Removing time and date from lock screen

how do i remove time and date from lock screen?

Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

HT5858 Bug with control centre? - only accessible from lock screen

I cannot access Control Center from my home screens or within apps, only from the Lock Screen - very annoying if I want to switch my music output for example or use the torch.
My settings are on for both access from Lock Screen and Access from within Apps.
Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

Hello Adrian Biffen,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't access Control Center from inside apps. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you're using an app that uses similar swipe gestures, like Maps or games, you might have to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?

Hide Album Artwork from Lock Screen

I am wondering if there is a way to hide the album art work from my lock screen?

There was never an album art for lock screen in IOS.
You can change your lock screen image though.

Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through.
At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
Please secure the iOS 5.
Thanks.

IPhone 6 Camera from lock screen, closes after 1 second...

When I access the camera from the lock screen, it opens for about one second then just blacks out to a screen off mode. I can still get to camera the long way by unlocking screen and clicking on icon, but want to know why the shortcut from lock screen is buggy. Please advise.

I'm not sure what you meant with the first part of your reply. However, the reset seems to returned behaviors to normal... so thanks for that.
Not that it matters much now, but again, the issue was that I wasn't able to go directly into camera mode from Lock Screen... the camera app would appear for one second, then the screen would just go into sleep mode. Unlocking screen with passcode or Touch ID worked fine then opening apps from there all worked fine. Just the camera shortcut from Lock Screen as the issue, but now it is resolved.
