    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    That was actually one of the steps I deal when talking with Google support. It had no effect. The thing I find annoying is that the Google engineer said the Pixel 2 doesn't function like that when I have lists of songs from my P2 when I was streaming. That's one way I've been able to purchase...

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    I listened to music every day at work and the last song on my history is from the 6th. Google has said this is working as intended any the only thing I can do is submit feedback. Pretty annoying.

    Yep, the update "fixed" that. Now says charging slowly.

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    Good thought but no, no history. I listened to streaming radio all day today and I have one song from a commercial 16 minutes ago and one song 13 hours ago.

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    I did find those and both are on. I guess I should confirm that the screen I'm used to having this info is the ambient or always on screen. If I'm on the lock screen itself it does show up. Once the always on screen comes on I lose the info and it becomes a notification icon. This didn't use to...

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    Are you streaming music on your phone while now playing ID's? I've tried radio.com and Google play music, the two apps I use the most, they both don't work.

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    so after talking with Google about this, now playing is working as intended. They suggested that I allow app notifications on the lock screen. unless I'm missing something, I can't find that setting anywhere. I've asked to confirm but haven't gotten a response yet.

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    Just so you don't think I'm crazy, here it is on an Anker charger. For some reason it wouldn't let me take a screen shot either so the wife's phone had to do. 8:37 is Google play music, 8:35 is radio.com. Radio is what I use the majority of the time and where my pixel 2 had zero issues. Tomorrow...

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    so I just tried this with a friend who also has a pixel 3. His pixel has song ID's coming up and I don't. also it's hit or miss on ID'ing anything. it's not catching mainstream music. My pixel 2 was rock solid and even picked up on a good portion of new music. This one not so much. I'll get a...

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    Actually the note is the notification from Google play music. Also I've been having issues on standard chargers as well. I've tried it off the stand and I'm not getting notifications either. If I look at my history, the last time it caught a song was the 25th.

    Now playing not working on lock screen?

    Does anyone else use now playing with streaming music? I've found that it doesn't work when you're streaming on pixel 3. I'm using a pixel stand right now but I'm having the same issues with any stand/charger. When I had the P2 now playing would still come through on my lock screen. I made sure...

    Wireless charging?

    I agree that cables can be an issue and you have to try a couple to find one that works the way you want. I use Android auto with streaming radio and navigation. Same cable I used with the Pixel 2 charges the 3 just fine. It's not a Google branded cable, it's Anker I believe. I'm having a bigger...

    Thank you! I'll write something to both

    Wireless charging?

    Does anyone know if there is a site or forum where we can write in to ask Google for a fix (if possible). reading that Android police article it looks like the charging rate is software driven. If that's true then it should be easier to correct. One reason I love these products is that I have...

    wireless charging with streaming music using battery?

    Well that kinda sucks. I might go back to a wired connection then. No real interest in a pixel stand and I don't want something so expensive on my desk at work. Thanks for the reply!
