Hi, I use spotify on my desktop computer but a couple nights ago installed it on my Nexus 4 android phone (4.2.1). When I first installed it and was playing a song I had music controls on my lockscreen for spotify. I thought this was cool as I thought I would miss the lockscreen controls of Google Music.

Today was the first time I have listen to spotify since installing it and I have noticed that I no longer get the lock screen controls. I think it's really odd considering I had them before. I read somewhere to clear the data of the app and then try again. I did that and no such luck.

It's only the spotify lockscreen controls that are not displaying. If I play a song with google music or another music app (poweramp) the controls are displayed.

I just feel it's odd that I had them and they just disappered.

I'm not a noob (Moderator on XDA and Reconized Dev) So If there is something techincal I have to do don't feel it will be over my head. lol  I will keep poking around to see if I can get them to somehow magically come back but until then, anyone else have any other ideas?
