Android Lollipop - Lock Screen Controls Not Available

Android Lollipop - Lock Screen Controls Not Available

Hi,

 

After upgrading to Android Lollipop the lock screen controls are no longer available unless notifications with sensitive information are enabled.  This effects all applications so obviously isn't a preferred option.  Unless this is enabled the lock screen only shows a notification from Spotify and states sensitive information has been hidden (no controls are available).

 

Can Spotify please advise when a new release with this fix will be available?  This is a major issue for some users as functionality and user experience has significantly diminished.  I'm surprised Spotify hadn't fixed this pre-release of Lollipop as developer previews of Lollipop have been available for months.

 

Thanks

Hey guys, just used this on my S7 to work the process backwards. I have been having big issues of running Spotify whilst running and due to lock screen controls it skips tracks and pauses as my it knocks in my pocket... massively frustrating!! Now fixed by disabling via "Settings, Notifications, Advanced, (select from list) Spotify, On Lock Screen, Hide Notifications"

Very Happy this is now sorted, thanks all.

Still doesn't work for me.

All notifications for Spotify are turned on.

I have Vivo V3Max.
