hi i was wondering if there is a way to change music tracks like on the iphone where you double tap home and there is music buttons to change tracks without leaving the app
like when youre playing a game and you want to change tracks,
right now i have to leave the app to change it!
and this is when there is no notification bar!
please and thank you
Music is always in notification as long ur listning.

yeah i know that.
but im saying when im playing a game. say like shadowgun
there is NO notification bar
Depending on the music player, and the headphones, press the headphones button a few times or hold it down.
Or use something like Sensor Music Player.

Some can change the song by pressing and holding the volume buttons. Though I don't know if it works when you're in a game too or only when the screen is off.

Depending on which music player you are using, and whether you use a security screen lock or not, you can just simply lock the screen and turn it back on and:
- if you use the stock music app, there will be controls on the lock screen for you to change tracks or pause
- have screen lock music control widget enabled from the settings of the 3rd party music app you are using (if the app has such feature)
Or you can just press the home button, pull down the notification bar then go back to your game since Android can multitask
yeah that seems to be the only ways!
haha thats not great is it --'
should be something like music controls when you long press home! like music buttons in the multitasking window
Yeah.. but about what others were saying before this, those music apps that have the holding volume buttons to change tracks should work as well when you're listening to music while playing games
eg. of apps like PowerAMP or PlayerPro (which even has a "Shake It" feature)
Maybe there is a music app in de appstore..
That works with the volumebuttons, if you hold it in, they skip to an other song.. I don't know if there is an app such like this, but it might be worth looking for it in the appstore?
volume buttons works only when the screen is off..the only way with the stock player is the multitasking..simply switch between music player and the game
the shake feature isnt that useful i think...
hmm yeah seems like android is lacking in this department! its annoying to swtich out of the game just to change one song
and yeah volume button change doesnt work on screen on!

hello...
is there any way to lock all the keys.....but still be able to recieve calls (and txts etc)?

thanks

On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful

well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
does anyone know how to turn of the screen when playing music? After i upgrade my OS in XDA II, i cannot listen to music without opening the screen.
just map a hardware button to screen toggle, then after u play the music, just press the button u have recently mapped...
how to map buttons?
please show me in detail 'cause i have less experience in PDA. Thanks in advance!!!
In Media player, go to Tools-Settings- Buttons then selct Screen toggle fromt he drop down list and then press the button you want to map to it- sorted!
Thanks, man!!
I'm using stock/ original in-ear headset with mic and volume control..
How can I start/active sVoice from it?
Thanks

I don't have a SGS3 yet, but I am wondering about these little details as well as they will determine the usefulness of SVoice...
If the phone is locked (in my pocket) and connected to a headset with a one button mic, can the button be used to activate SVoice? If so, is it a double tap of the button?
Obviously SVoice may choose to prevent you from doing certain things while locked (dialing numbers, etc), but it would be great to play a playlist or toggle shuffle for the music app using SVoice while the phone is in my pocket.
Likewise, if the phone is in a car dock, but the screen turns off/locks, can I still double tap the home button and voice a command for music control or reading my text messages?
Bump?
wondering about this too, i can't make it work......

it was annoying me having come from iPhone to note 2 so the way that I have made it work was to get the app headset button controller from the play store and set 4 clicks to launch so voice, make sure you select yes to waking the phone when asked. Now s voice works on the headset, just wish I could assign it to long press of the headset button but that's reserved for google voice search. I hope this can help some people or if anyone has a simpler workaround please share!
I was wondering if it's possible to change the controls of the headphones that came with the phone? I'm sure all of you are aware that holding the pause button, makes it switch to the next song. Is it possible to make it so that double tap of the pause button will switch songs?
I assume it's likely not possible but if it's possible please feel free to share
I don't know about you but mine switches on double tap, not on hold.
Nvm, problem solved. I was using poweramp and didn't change the settings in it for double/tripple tap. Seems to work default double tap for skip song on the galaxy player tho.
On the same subject, can you use the volume rocker to long press to different tracks? Thanks.

Is there a way to disable the N button as a home button with CM7? I use the nook for kid entertainment and my 1 year old keeps pressing the N button and it stops video playback.
Depending on what Movie player you use you can lock the device while a video plays so that nothing would happen when he hit the N button. I would have to look through the settings again but I think there is a way to disable the N button but I have never tried it as it helps when an app freezes and I need to get back to the Home screen and to bring the Status bar back when I am running a fullscreen app so that I have access to the soft buttons for back and menu.
Agreed...just try a different player. I love MX Player. Very good and the screen lock also locks out the hard button.

Cool! I never realized that some players can lock the hardware buttons. The one I was using would lock the screen, but not the buttons. MXPlayer has foiled my little one's attempts to press that pesky N. Thanks guys.
