Play/Pause When Doubleclicking from Lock Screen

Hey,
So I have a 4S and up until yesterday when I would double click the home button I could play and pause the music just fine, but now even when music is playing the music controls on the lock screen don't register anything and when I hit the play/pause button, nothing happens. I can control the volume from the lock screen but when I try to play/pause the music from the multitasking menu, I have the same problem as the lock screen. Is there anything I can do about this?

Try doing a hard reboot of your iPhone: Press the Menu button and the power button until you see the Apple sign. See what happens then

Why are the forward and backward buttons so close to the play/pause button on the lock screen?

The quickest way to control the playing of music or podcasts is on the lock screen after double tapping the button. The controls for forward, rewind and play/pause are way too close together. There seems to be no logical reason for having them so close when there is room on the screen. Is there a way of moving these buttons?

No. But tell apple about your concern http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Xperia Z3 Compact camera error when starting from locked screen (symbol lock)

Hi
I'm a new owner of Xperia Z3 Compact and I have noticed a problem when launching camera. The app itself works perfectly well but when trying to launch camera from locked phone (screen locked with symbol) it shows only black screen with error message that camera app it unaccessible. After removing lock screen protection both camera symbol on lock screen and dedicated camera button works as intended. Is it supposed to be that way? On my previous phone I could launch camera app without unlocking screen but couldn't access any other parts of the phone. I'd love to have it working the same way here especially with the dedicated camera button.
Hoping for a fast answer.
Regards
Huma

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

2nd gen Moto X freezing when unlocking from lock screen

I've had my 2nd gen Moto X for about a month now and it has started to lock the phone up when I go to unlock it from the lock screen. I put the phone in safe mode and the same issue occurred during that time as well. The phone works great otherwise. I tried shutting the phone down and turning it back on every morning and it still happens between 1-3 times a day.

Hi there, I have had my Moto X 2nd Gen for three weeks and my phone has been freezing up when trying to unlock it; the phone froze up twice today. The first time it happened I plugged it into it's charger and it unfroze, the second time I was away from the charger and I could not get it to unfreeze, I was stuck with a black screen. Luckily a Verizon store was a block away and the guy at the store held the power button and volume button down at the same time and then it finally came back to life. I told him the phone was brand new and I was very concerned that this was already happening. He told me that it was not a hardware issue but was a software issue, claims that if there is a software update this may no longer happen. Not sure if that is the case or the right answer though...

I can't lock screen on Ipad mini. My lock screen button is working for shutdowning Ipad, but don't working for lock screen. Also I tried to lock screen from Assistive Touch and it's not working. When I click lock screen on assistive it nothing happens.

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:

And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.

If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

Removing time and date from lock screen

how do i remove time and date from lock screen?

As noted in the title, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the Time, Day and Date from my custom Lock Screen? Is it possible or not?
Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

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?

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.

Xperia UI frozen after coming out from lock screen

I find the app switcher and notification bar inaccessible when the phone comes out from lock screen. Swiping down or pressing the task switcher does nothing.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's the problem, uninstall it > press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds and check again

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.

[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.

Updated: 2015-08-07Hi and thanks for your contribution! A similar idea has also been suggested here:

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.

Difficulty answering iPhone 5 with iOS 7 from lock screen

With iOS 7, when I try to answer the phone from lock screen, the slide to answer green bar is less responsive than answering phone in previous versions of iOS and it also takes awhile for other party to hear you. Several persons tell me the same. Using an iPhone 5. Can anyone help me out on this? Is it a generalized problem that Apple should address?

No, we have to wait till Apple fixes this problem.
For the Slide to reply bar: Turn on "Reply with message" in your passcode settings you that you will have a button to answer a call instead of a slider. (Will also enable Messaging from the lock screen)

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.

End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case, you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress. In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.
