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?)

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.
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
ROM: PWGB2.0 beta
kernel: imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_1.4.0
TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip
Custom keyboard: HTC_IME_themed_by_gIMpSta.apk
above is what I have done to my phone so far.
need for a different camera after experiencing todays issues. dont know if any of you FABULOUS developers have considered the following camera issue but this is what I realized today & am now searching for solution camera.
when recording footage with phone camera and you need to [pause] for a period, the camera display stays on and helps run battery down. Need to have display go to black after 20 seconds after pausing and returning to displaying image after you press the power button to aid in saving battery power (stupid lock button in this case).
OR be able to hit the power button yourself after pausing recording mode to make display go off until you press power button again to turn on display again.
I tried to film kids at the county fair and needed the pause feature alot and to also conserve battery. pressing the power button just [locks] it....
so I tried pressing home screen after pausing and then pressing the power button to turn off display but then the recording session I had paused would be gone.
Then I tried pausing the recording session and just turning and holding camera lens to my chest thus blocking any light, therefore the screen would be black (dont know if this would effect battery consumption). The problem with that was that before I could press the pause button off to continue to record again the stupid camera would "time out" and then what I had recorded up to then in that segment would be gone yet again..
so... to recap my camera needs. I would like to flash an update that would take away the camera time-out period when pausing, and disable the "LOCK" feature and make that button the display on/off button while NOT turning off the app. and maybe even, if the camera is in [pause mode] and you press the back button a window will pop up asking if intention is to turn off display to save battery while in pause mode or to close camera app.
it may be a placebo effect but I swear the display shows photos and footage
MUCH more brilliant and clear with the PWGB2.0 beta3 ROM...
I love this PWGB ROM....
try it if you havent yet. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.
HOPE SOMEONE COMES THRU.

[EDIT]....NO LONGER USING kernel: imoseyon_leanKernel_i500_voodoo_1.4.0
AND
TWlauncher.apk: TouchWizGTG_New_Dock_Colored_Icons_All_Variations.zip
Removed kernel because I saw no difference in speed and battery efficiency.
Removed TouchWizGTG New_Dock...zip because of too many freeze up and force closes.
I'm not sure what the cause of it is, but perhaps you guys can help me out.
I've had my Optimus V for a while now and have flashed IHO-backside to it in December.
Recently, my camera button has been acting very strange. You see, it still functions as a camera button. Holding it down (completely) will launch the right app, hold it down (loosely) focuses the camera, and pressing it down completely will take a snapshot. That's all fine and dandy.
However... When I'm not in a camera app the camera button takes on a different set of functions. For some reason, lightly touching the button triggers a Volume Up, Volume Down, and/or Voice button press. I'm not sure why this happens. It's very strange. If you even so much as to come to physical contact with the button, it will send those "button presses" above. Clicking the button still works correctly, though.
I went into the ClockworkMod recovery to double check the key presses for it. It was VERY difficult because pressing the camera button to select an option will trigger the Vol up, Vol down and Voice presses making me select the wrong options in the recovery menu. Anyway, the following gets returned when lightly tapping the camera button:
key 115, key 114, key 216. (Vol up, Vol down, and Voice)
I checked the key file located here: /system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl and found that everything is still mapping to the right buttons.
Can someone please tell me what's going on and how to make it stop doing this?
Anyone?
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!

Hello,
I somehow managed to damage the flex cable fastener on the board for the microphone, camera button and 2d/3d switch while replacing the screen on the phone. I've spent a little time here and there researching this with the hopes of learning how to remap the 2d/3d switch to the search button, or for some other means of enabling the 3d camera mode. I have gone into the shooter-keypad.kl file and attempted to remap after first backing up the original, but have had no luck with this. Unless I am mistaken while the camera app is opened the search button acts as a focus button or has no functionality at all, amd with the autofocus and/or tap to focus abilities the search button would be perfect for the 2d/3d switch control. Could I trouble somebody to help me with my problem please? Thanks in advance!!!
