Xperia ZL 4.2.2: Walkman controls and lock screen conflict

[ylapas]

Anyone is facing the problem of blinkink album art and Walkman controls while playing music on lock screen widgets? I looks as app conflict here because Walkman is trying to go on top of of clock widget and is rapidly blinking. Screenshot does not capture this, yet you can see to screens on top of each other and Walkman is the blinking one and is not the "winner" of lock screens battle

Hey

I too just received the 4.2.2 update on Xperia Z and am facing the same flickering issue.

In my case it is too anoying as I have just encrypted my device so it is very disturbing when i enter the pin on the lock screen.

I have too, walkman bug in lock screen, have anyone have to solve it

I have sent a PM to you.

Guys, I think I found the culprit.

Do you have Smart Key installed? I was cleaning up some apps, and after I uninstalled Smart Key, the lock screen worked properly.

Do give it a try and see how it goes.

[ylapas]

Yep, what solved this problem. Conclusion - Smartkey at least today is not compatible with Sony Xperia Z / ZL 4.2.2 Android version.

[alejandrotrela]

Not having smart key installed and stiil the preblem exist that s why i turn to 4,1,2 and everything work much better.

Until Sony releace proper 4.2.2 firmware i will stay with the previous version of Android version, because there is a lot off issue and not only the flickering in music control at lock screen.:smileywink:
