Lock screen media controls don't work (Spotify)

[userZlqLglRntr]

Hi guys, I play music through Spotify, then lock my phone to keep it playing then if I want to change the song I usually just double tap the screen then change the song from the lock screen but I've found that on the s10+ so far that the controls respond to my touch but they don't do anything. Furthermore, if I lock my screen, after 10-20 seconds, my music stops playing altogether and I need to unlock my phone, go into Spotify and press play again for it to resume. Other people have complained about these faults too, just wanting to know if there is a fix coming or not Regards

Thanks that worked out for me. Seems that the Android Pie power management isn't that great...

I've had the same issue. Here's what worked for me:

- Open Settings
- Search for "Optimise battery usage"

- Click on "Apps not optimised" and select "All"
- Search for Spotify and disable battery optimization 

- Done!

Hope this helps 🙂

This fixed Spotify lock screen functionality for me -- the next/previous buttons worked just fine, but I could not pause the audio!

This did not work on my phone. Even with restarting phone and uninstalling spotify
