is there a way to use the volume buttons to switch between tracks? like in my old k800 when i longpressed a volume button it played the next or the previous track. it would be nice and it would save battery cos it would not activate the screen all the time
Hey, I was thinking about something likewise. It would be nice that while the phone is closed, a single click on the camera button would start/stop music, a double click on the camera button would go to next track.

Does anyone know of an mp3 player that has a hold function where tapping the screen won't work or a player that will still work after my sx56 is turned off. Also I bought the cheap earbud headphones off AT&T's website. Is there anyway to map the answer phone button to have other functions (such as next track).
I asked a very similar question in these forums recently, and got the perfect answer: WMP already allows you to lock the screen.
In the player, go to Tools -> Settings -> Buttons and map 'Screen toggle' to one of your hardware buttons. (I mapped it to the 'Action' button - the centre of the cursor.) Now, when I press this button while WMP is playing, the screen is turned off and locked.
Hope this helps.

mapping the button on my earpiece
Is there anyway I can map the answer call button on my earpiece to goto the next track. I keep my sx56 in my pocket and it is annoying to have to reach in to hit the next track. Also when I am wearing the earbuds it would be nice to have the answer call button a mappable button. Thanks.
great, but not quite there
it's a great improvement, which does indeed disable the screen, but not the buttons.
I'd just like some kind of lock that disables both the screen and the keys, a la nokia phones.
cheers

Looking for a way to turn one of the hardware buttons into a PLAY/PAUSE button while the screen is off. Any ideas on how this can be done? I have a rooted X10a w/2.1

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i have thought of this, when the screen is locked i the home button should be play/pause, the menu back and the backkey next song.
I bought Music PlayerPro - the Volume Up/Down keys skip next/previous, or hold for volume up/down. (You can reverse this behaviour in the app too).
This works when the screen is locked btw.
I would love pause too... but the volume down does a similar job.
Have a look here:

I think it was released the same day you asked, as well!
So on my Hero I could long press the volume buttons to skip the song without turning on the screen, can't seem to find a way to do this on the SII, any ideas? Or is it just not possible?
If you're using the stock earphones just long press the button on them. Works in poweramp at least.
Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I don't use the stock headphones.
Hi,
I'm fairly new here but I have done a reasonable amount of searching (imo) and have yet to find a result to effectively change songs while listening to music without having to take phone out of pocket (bluetooth devices, and shake2playnext excluded).
I found an app called 'Next Song' which interprets double-presses on the volume - this would be nice, only I haven't been able to make it work successfully (next song popup notification appears but track does not change)
At one point, I used button remapper to remap my camera button to media_next. (was using camera360 at this point with camera button). After the GB update and recent threads, I have wanted to use the SE camera more. Unfortunately, the camera button does not work in SE's camera button without the focus button (must press focus before camera button, then picture will be taken).
If anyone's got a solution let me know please
(remap longpress/volume, double press volume rockers? or take picture without focus button on SE camera?)
Hi guys!
After using Android for some months now, I'm having some questions (that google coudn't answer).
1) How can we copy links in the new YouTube app? I can only share them on Twitter/Facebook/Dropbox/etc...
2) Is an app/tweak available to increace the amounts of steps of the volume bar?
Sometimes it happens that the lowest volume is still kinda loud. So it would be helpfull if I could reduce the volume even more, without muting it.
3) Aren't there any apps that can emulate the control of the Apple earphones control thing? The only button that works is the play/pause button.
The only apps I can find, can only use 1 button (like press the button 5 times to go to the next track). That's kinda unhandy.
Tips/Solutions are appreciated!
Matt
