I noticed this too. I mainly use Spotify and the music playing doesn't show up on the lockscreen. I have to unlock the phone to access the Spotify app.

Problem solved
You have to go into settings, Notification center, Notice management, and from there select your app. You have to turn on the important notice. After that you will be able to skip the music, etc from the lockscreen! Good luck.

That does not work for the built in music app, bummer.

That worked only once for me.

Youtube A-V sync

Sound plays before the video. Uninstalled Youtube updates, no help. Anyone fixed this one?
Anyone else having sync trouble with YouTube, or is it just me?
No I do not. Curious are you listening through some type of bluetooth device? I use to have that problem when watching videos in my F-150 over the speakers.
I also have that problem.

I usually watch YouTube using the external speaker. Just tried some headphones, same problem. To my ears, it starts off wrong and stays wrong, it doesn't seem to drift.
Finally got around to creating a thread on the Lenovo site: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets-and/Youtube-A-V-sync-problem-on-the-Phab2-Pro-PB2-690Y/td-p/3506026
I am having the same issue
One thing I've been curious about is whether all video playback is affected or if it's just YouTube.
Played some trailers on Rotten Tomatoes and they looked good to me, can anyone confirm? I could have just missed it, movie trailers don't seem to show much speaking.
Also played a couple free videos on Play Movies & TV and the sync problem was there. I think we can add that app to the problem list. Can anyone confirm on that one too?
Dolby app
Could someone try this. I did a force stop on the Dolby app and played a YouTube video. I think it's a lot better with the audio and video sync. It may just be me.

You are right that turning off the Dolby service does fix the slight sync issue on YouTube. I simply turned off the service from the tray pulldown without force stopping the app and it worked right away. Anyone else can confirm this?

How are you turning off Dolby?
On my phone, clicking on the app causes immediate crash & selecting it in Settings > Apps doesn't allow either "Uninstall" or "Disable".

Pull down from the top of the screen which will show your notifications window, then pull down from the top of the screen again to see the quick toggles, which will have a toggle button for DOLBY.

Yeah, got the button, but it doesn't "click". Even going into Settings > Developer Options > Inactive apps, toggling Dolby doesn't do anything, doesn't deactivate like every other app.

You may need to do a factory reset. Can't imagine why it wouldn't toggle for you.

Try running the Dolby app (in the app drawer), and clicking the round power button at the top left, maybe that will turn it off for you? Works here anyhow. On mine, if I'm playing sounds with Dolby Atmos enabled, it shows a frequency analysis, but with it off, it doesn't, so that might be helpful in determining if it worked.
I'm not sure what happened, but the sync problem is back for me, even with Dolby off. Tried rebooting, no luck.

Agreed. It did work perfectly for a while, but for an unknown reason it went back to not working pretty quickly. I need to figure out how to log back in on the Lenovo forums so I can contradict my earlier post.

Lock Screen Notifications.

Hey all,
For the life of me I can't get notifications to show up my lock screen. I have tried enabling it in settings but no dice. Even when I put down the notification bar on the lock screen it is still empty. Any help would be appreciated as this is getting a bit annoying.

If you have already anable lockscreen notification then you must check from general settings, apps and one by one check
the menu notification if you have anable lockscreen notification there too

Tyvm. Would you happen to know if there is any way to show all items that are currently in notification bar on my lock screen and not just newly received/unread items? I like to have access to my Play Music and Pocket Cast notification widgets all times.

I emailed Huawei Tech Support yesterday regarding this issue. I was prompted to call in to tech support for further assistance, and told by a service rep that this is a known software issue. Along with led notification light also, she then created a ticket for me... I asked her if there would be an update correcting the issue soon? She placed me on a brief hold then returned stating that; "eta should be about mid March!" ?
I refused to trouble shoot with her due to the phone surprisingly deciding to display notifications and notification light by itself!
After pressing lock button and viewing lockscreen again, NOTHING BUT DATE & TIME.... It's been intermittent ever since, although play music seems to efficiently control lock screen with image and track controls every time!

Why do they say it's a known issue when some, like me, do get notifications? Although, I do notice that I do not always get notifications from my news app, etc. But in whole, I am getting my Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, CNN, nottifications. You are not getting anything at all in your lockscreen?

Yes throughout the day I will see them, but they're inconsistent, and intermittent! For example just listening to a music app during one record I can power on screen... see title and artist... Power off screen.... 5 secs later, power on screen.... Noting! It's the same thing with messages, they should remain there "on lock screen" until they're are checked or acknowledged, via lock screen, home screen, or task bar!
US version as well, and it's same with led notification light!?

*Bump* Guys has this issue been consistently fixed with the latest updates? This was honestly my only legitimate knock on the Mate 9 software... Appreciate your input! Thanks!
You need to go to the themes app and enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings. It's the one one that will allow notifications on the lock screen.

Definitely confirmed. I am using magazine unlock and constantly get lock screen notifications. Also yes to media controls for casting, music play etc. Huawei should make it clear in manual that only way to get lock screen notifications it to use magazine unlock.
Now go rebuy the Mate 9. It's an excellent phone ?

Guys, sorry to rehash this issue, but has anyone figured out how to ALWAYS display the notifications in the notifications tray to the lockscreen? I bought the phone again, but I'm not seeing the notifications mirrored in the unlocked phone's notification trade... Like EVERY other Android phone. Let me explain:
I get a WhatsApp message, it will show up on the lockscreen. Say I then unlock the phone, don't do ANYTHING to the WhatsApp notification. The phone locks again and this time... No notification on the lock screen, despite me not acknowledging it!
Has anyone been able to solve for me? Perhaps a other lock screen app you use maybe?
Thank you! This phone is so perfect, the software is slightly off though, but maybe you guys have this solution! ?
Same thing here, I think all you can do is wait for an update, but don't get your hopes up ...

Thank you for the input, friend. All these updates since launch, can't believe they haven't fixed something that is native across all other Android phones... I wonder if their other phones with EMUI do the same thing? Can anyone confirm?
If there really are no other options... Can you guys recommend alternative lock screen apps you may be using? I tried Flotify, but the stupid thing didn't display the Music player or YouTube casting controls on the lockscreen and the quick reply was weak... ?
Thank you!

It displays Spotify controls anyway, although a bit too big :/
Sad thing about Floatify is that the timeout of your screen is always set to 30 seconds, regardless of what you set it to in Settings - display. Until you pay for pro... Then you can change it.
I did however notice that Spotify functions without Floatify now. I'm on c432B185. I wonder if Huawei fixed it. A lot of other notifications that wouldn't display on lockscreen before works as well.

Yes Sir - YouTube casting, TuneIn Radio also work without the Flotify lockscreen, however, other notifications I have tested, Google, WhatsApp, Textra, etc... show up once, you unlock the phone, not check the notifications, come back, and it's no longer there !
I cannot believe this does not bother anyone else, other than you and I, it seems !

Music apps close when the phone is locked

I made sure to turn power save mode off and all the auto app closing features in the battery but still when i use musixmatch or any other music app sometimes when i lock the device the playback is paused and the application is closed and again yes i checked all the options in the battery save
Turn off and turn on option for background access
Hi there,
Have a look at this thread and my reply in it. It will likely solve your problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/listing-battery-optimisation-troubles-t3660483
Basically, Chrome is the problem. Don't allow any power optimizations for it and your music player shouldn't stop when the screen locks.
Good luck!
Raster71
well in my opinion, you can try following thing
1. Go to your music player app(app manager) and sure check box "close when screen is locked " is disabled
2. as for the person recomending chrome, i object that because i have disabled chrome and have no problems (android 7.0)

Try clearing the app preference in Settings-Apps--3 dots and reset app preference.
or you can try uninstall/install of this app.
how about the default music app? what is the behavior there?

Disabling Chrome would have the same effect as getting rid of the power optimization for it. Chrome being closed by EMUI is what causes the music player to stop. Once Chrome is closed (or disabled), the music player will play when the screen is locked.
Give it a try - it worked for me and others.

Use batter settings
My issue got resolved as below

Spotify Being Killed in Background When Playing

Anyone finding this on 5.1.8? Not sure if it's something in my setup.

Battery optimization is probably killing it.

Turn off "Advanced Optimization" in Battery/Battery optimizations/three dots and then Advanced Optimization. Even if you have Spotify set to Don't optimize, this setting will still kill it.

I am using spotify didnt face any problems may be try different version of spotify
I'm facing the same problem since 5.1.7 (or even 5.1.6). Nothing seems to help. After some time, the permanent notification gets wiped out, and 5-10 minutes later, my music stops.
I've something similar, when using Spotify no problems. But when I've stopped using the app and after a while resume music, there is no notification icon in the status bar, and also nothing on the lock screen. I do hear the music, see the in- app controls, with the play and pause button. But can’t control it from the lock screen and also car audio doesn’t show title playing.
Need to kill the app from multi task screen and open app again.
This problem is present with Youtube Music as well.
Notification disappears, eventually the app is killed entirely.
Something wrong on OnePlus' end where active music apps aren't being registered as such.

I haven't had any problems with GPM or YouTube Music since the quoted post was written, it only happened once with YouTube Music and I haven't been able to reproduce since.
May well have been some ****ery with Spotify making it seem like YT Music was also affected. I did use them both that day.

I'm experiencing exactly this. Even the car part connected through BT.
And I'm not using an OP6. I'm with an HTC 10 running 8.0 so I guess the issues are on the app's side.

Hello i got my honor note 10 i love it but there are some things I don't like about it, one very annoying thing that i just cant figure out is how to get notifications on my lockscreen permanently, they only appear on my lockreen if i get them while my screen is locked.

Hi,
It seems what you want to do cannot be achieved within EMUI directly. Which is weird because other devices allow to do so and given how it's marketed by Honor, it should allow such basic commands.
So only thing I can think of is to try to get an app that will allow you to remap your buttons from the Play Store. And hope one of them will allow you to do what you are looking for...
PLEASE NOTE : some of those apps will not work when display is "off". So you may want to turn on "Always on" feature (in the screen locking settings at the bottom...).
Hope this can be of any help...
Regards.

Because that screen only appears if you use Poweramp to play local media. I use Spotify, so no such luck.
Google Play Music for some reason works, it's integrated with Huawei's lock screen. Not sure why.

Yeah. Most of them have properly working lockscreens that shows notifications from apps.
Huawei's implementation? Sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it doesn't. Even after enabling all the options.
They also mangled the double click power button for camera shortcut. Try to activate the camera shortcut when listening to music or watching a video. The worse part is that they don't even use the double power button shortcut for anything.
