[Q] Skip song with camera button - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to use the camera button (or any other 3) on X10's to skip songs??? We had it on the Acer Liquid E, and I miss it alot on my SE X10

Are you running a stock SE ROM???
As if you install a 2.2 ROM you'll have the option to Pause and Skip on your lock sceen... There maybe an app in the market to let you assign buttons for Skipping tracks but I'm unaware of any.
I use MixZing Basic from the market, I'm not sure if installing this on 2.1 would enable the lock screen buttons but have a go.

He can use widget locker and ghost controls for the lockscreen

I was waiting for something like this. All my life ive been using Walkman phones and i can do this while long pressing the volume + - it toggles the tracks back and fourth... but now i cant do this... and dev would kind enough to do this? Im riding and listening to songs at the same time i cant afford to take out my phone while riding

You can use the volume button to go to the previous and next song by holding the volume controls down with PowerAMP. It's a paid app but there could be a free music player on the market with this feature.

Thx for your responses, I will try with POwerAmp..... for now, until someone figure out how they did it on Liquid E's !!

Otherwise, if you flash any of the ROMs with CM6/7, there is an option to use the volume buttons for previous/next!

ok, I did'nt know CM had that...... but I'm on EWJET, and I dont plan to change rom soon....... but thx

Wolfbreaks rom has this feature built in, just use volume keys when screen off to go forward/back.

[Q] Skip Track using Volume Key

Hi guys,
I know that there are MODs for MIUI and CM. Does someone know that kind of MOD for AOSP?
What is it you are asking? To set keys?
I,m looking for a falshable zip, that allows me to skip tracks by long pressing the volume key.
Here is an example for MIUI: LINK (the second one)
Nothing new about this?
I'm interested in such a mod, too.
In case if ur using headphones for listening music..... Use Headset Droid application, where u can take total control of your music player in Headphone.....
Hope it helps
Sorry, i was also not able to find such mod other than in MIUI..
Or just use playerpro.
I think he means when you hold volume up it will skip music track and vice versa for volume down its on most also roms.

single press controls music , more than one click controls volume.
actually long press can not be detected in stock roms.
Enjoy if it works in your phone
Its built into Cyanogenmod 13 on my phone.

CM7 lockscreen music controls bug

Howdy guys!
I hope you have all recovered from the crazies of last night!
I have a bug to report for CM7. I use the lockscreen music controls which can be activated from the Cyanogenmod settings>Lockscreen>Widget options.
So here is what's wrong. Sometimes it works all fine but more often than not, what happens is that the music controls (back, play/pause, skip) just don't work. I press the next button a few times, but nothing happens. I unlock the phone and go to the next song manually in the app. But then after sometime the songs skip a few times. Looks like there is a huge delay between pressing the button and it doing what I ask for...
Same with play/pause and back buttons. By the way, I use the Google music BUT this happens with the stock music app as well.
Please help. I am a music addict. I need my fix! (pun purely coincidental)

I used TiBu to freeze the default player, and I use PowerAMP Pro. It just works, and the PowerAMP slide lock screen controls work perfect. Just me, though.
Ciao!
I just flashed this rom last night and while walking to work today, I gave the music player a try and didn't have any issues with skipping, both with the lock screen and long holding the volume button.
+1 on PowerAmp. That app rocks! It was one of the first apps I purchased. TiBu was the next one.
Have you tried the setting to skip songs with the volume up/down buttons? I've been using that feature so I dont even have to turn the phone on to use the screen.
I would use other music apps but I also use Google Music and other music apps dont have the ability to stream from there yet.
EDIT: Or try gestures to skip, play, pause, etc.

+1 I also use power amp. No issues here.
I think I know what the problem is. I've had this same issue too in the past. If you press the play button on the widget, the lock screen doesn't show up so in order for it to work normally you would need to enter into the app first to work which defeats the purpose of the widget. I am using cubed music player.
Not sure how to fix your problem, but here might be an alternative for you!!
While the screen is "off"(and possibly at the lock screen), you can HOLD the volume UP button to go to the next track, and HOLD the volume DOWN to go back a track.

[Q] can i allow controlling music fw/rw from the volume buttons while locked?

hello just like cm7 and blackberrey
is there an app for controlling my music forward and backword by holding the volume buttons ?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have a SGAce anymore), but I think that CM7 offers this feature in their CMSettings.
i know but i wan't it on stock rom
Yes, you can with PowerAMP
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk

i wanna control the music to shift to the next song of the back one wihle the screen is locked

Nope. You can't. Volume keys are for volume up/down purpose only. But you can swipe the clock in the lock screen to get the music player widget, where you can change tracks.
Well it may be adjustable with CM when it comes out for the S, so I wouldn't give up hope. It's just not available in stock .
I don't get why OEMs make this a part of the stock firmware. Its a very useful feature especially when listening to spotify.

Like the old Sony Ericsson Walkman phone's.
Hold up for next and down for previous.
It would be very usefull.

Hi
I know that CM9 and CM10 have the option to change songs when the screen is off, by long-pressing the volume rockers. I assume that other custom ROMs have that option too, but I can't tell which of them. Try some ROMs and see if you have an option to change songs with the volume rocker somewhere under settings. About changing radio station- you may ask mikereidis, the developer of the radio app for custom ROMs.
Good day
If you use winamp they have a lock screen interface for changing tracks back and forth.
