Previous/back button for lock screen (Android)

I would like to see a previous song button on the lock screen of Android. I dislike having to unlock my phone just to start a song over or to get back to another.

 I didn't do anything specifically, as far as I can remember, other than installing the Spotify app. Of course, these controls do not show up unless I already opened the app beforehand and started playing a song. Once it's already playing, then the controls appear after locking the screen. I even changed my security because I had pattern unlock and changed it to PIN in order to take the screenshot I posted above.But in both security modes (pattern/pin) I can see the controls. My only guess is that it could be something related to the phone model itself. I have a Samsung E7, which has a large screen. I don't know the size of the Sony z3, and I don't have an smaller phone at hand at the moment to test. If this is the issue, then it can be more of a phone model related bug. I'll attach some links with some information that could be helpful for you. Pay close attention to the last one, as it seemed that it was the solution for most of the users. On this link there are several suggestions of apps that may be preventing the music controls to show up in the lock screen. Maybe one of those could help?http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lock-screen-music-controls-disappear-t2514983 Some mention that uninstalling smart key fixed the issue."I just had this problem on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Disabling Smartkey did the trick. Thanks so much guys! I have a feeling fixing this might not be high on Sony's priority list." http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Problem-with-Music-widget-on-lockscreen-bug/td-p/382277/page/5   I hope it works out for you!

    Thank you for that update.
    I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    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.

  • Usage of back button in shopping screen brings up the error in the screen,

    Hi All,
    Usage of back button in shopping screen brings up the error in the screen,
    In SRM shopping screen, when we use the "back" button on the Internet Explorer toolbar, it does not work, it brings up the error screen. Using the "back" button within the SRM window only occasionally works and if used near the end of an order it gives errors and all information inputted until you press back button is lost.
    So, to resolve this issue, I mean when you press back button it should go to previous screen and should not give any error and also should not loose data in the screen.
    Any suggestions in resolving this issue is very much apppreciable.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    Internet explorer back button is not supported for the application, instead you can use  back to status/back button in  SRM shopping cart application, you should be good to go with this button.
    SAP recommends not to use internet explorer back button which stops the functoning of application.
    regards,
    IGA.

  • Ipod Touch ios 5 camera button on lock screen wont open camera

    I recently upgraded my Ipod Touch Gen4 to ios 5.1.  All went well, except when I push the camera button on the lock screen, it tries to open the camera but then changes back to the lock screen.
    Its like the lock screen moves upward to show the camera app underneath, but then closes.
    Ive done a reset and restore but no luck. 
    Any help please??

    No problem.  Glad to have helped.

  • Camera is not starting. It shows something in progress and boes back to the lock screen.

    When I start the camera, it open the screen but does not open the shutter.
    and goes into a screen indicating something in progress and then in few seconds - goes back to the locked screen.
    what could be the problem?
    regards

    Try resetting your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • Forward/ back button for various sub-folders

    Hello all,
    Here's the scenario.....
    I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader....
    next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
    function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
    imageNumber++;
    LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    checkNumber();
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
    function backImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
    imageNumber--;
    LargeImageLoader.source = "portfolio/UIloader/bike/00"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    checkNumber();
    Since I have multiple sub-folders for my portfolio, I was wondering how to apply these same buttons to other sub-folder image paths without needing to create a pair of forward/back buttons for each sub-folder.
    Thanks!

    It's not entirely clear to me, but what I think you need to do for what I think you are saying you want to do would be to make the folder targeting (portfolio/UIloader/bike/, et al) a variable as well.  The only missing link is what you would use to redefine the folders.
    Your next/prev buttons can't be that smart unless you have some conditional logic that helps them realize a particular imageNumber range belongs to a particular folder.  If your images have the same file names (00#.jpg) across the different folders then that won't help.  I believe you would need them to be sequential such that no folder repeats the filenames/numbers of another

  • TS2401 ive forgotton passcode for lock screen

    I've forgotton passcode for locked screen.  I really do not want to restore to factory settings as I have loads of pictures of my daughter that I do not want to loose... can anyone help?

    if you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Disable Default function of "Back" button for Android.

    Hi there!
    I have tried SO MANY methods to PREVENT the default function of Back button in Android but no success
    This is one of the codes I have used with no success:
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, optionsKey, false, 0, true);
    function optionsKey(ke:KeyboardEvent):void
          if (ke.keyCode == Keyboard.BACK)
                ke.preventDefault();
                ke.stopImmediatePropagation();
              //Do my own code below...
    I am using Flash Cs6 , Air 3.2 for Android , Testing it on LG Google nexus 4.
    When I use the flash simulator, it works fine! Means the Back Button, let the App go back to previous step (as I expect it to do)
    But after I publish the apk (Aspect ratio: Auto , Auto orientation , Render mode: GPU), as soon as I press BACK, it minimize my app!
    (means when i press the Back button on my phone, the App minimize down (not close!). when I re-activate it/click on it, I see the app has actually gone one step BACK (as I programmed and expected), but I just CANT STOP the default action of MINIMIZING/De-activating my app after pressing Back button.
    Anyone have any "Fla" file that I can see it in ACTION please?!
    Because I have used many-many codes and no success yet
    thanks and looking forward for your any kind of hlep...

    I got my own answer thanks to myself!!
    in above code .KEY_UP should be changed to .KEY_DOWN.
    simple!

  • How do i have status bar and a back button  for applets?

    I have an applet which displays a set of panels in order. Is there any way that i can have a status bar like in an browser and a back button so that it can go back and go forward. What do i need to do? Is there any sample code to do so. I am new to java and learning.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Status-Bar -- a long thin panel with a long TextField. Perhaps use something from the BorderFactory class to seperate it from other parts of the screen...
    Back Button -- Keep track of your panels in a CardLayout, for example, then use a Button with an action listener that uses the CardLayout's previous() method to move back to the last panel.

  • Change font Size for Lock Screen Message

    In system preferences Security & Privacy you are able to set a lock message for the lock screen. Is there a way to change the Font Size or even the color of the message in Mavericks?

    I was able to set the font size for all the text on the envelope by pressing the Set button for the font. The size is on the right side of the dialog box. If it is not working for you, try choosing another font, and then going back to the one you want.

  • What is the bypass code for lock screen

    what is the bypass code for the lock screen on i pod touch

    To restore the iPod to get rid of the lock combination you forgot, just follow these steps....
    1) Plug your iPod into the PC
    2) Wait for iTunes to sync your device like normal and let it back up all of your stuff, since restoring deletes all of your data
    3) Go onto your iPod's menu (The one that shows the memory bar at the bottom)
    4) Locate the Restore button on the screen and click restore
    5) If your not on iOS 5.0.1 yet, it will ask you to download the latest firmware, go ahead download it
    6) When it is done downloading it will take you through the restoration process.
    7) When it asks you if you want to restore it from a backup or set up as new when everything is finished, make sure you select "Back up as new"!!!
    8) Re-Sync your music, apps, photos, mail, contacts, etc. and anything you had before, and you device is just like new.
