Hi there,
In my opinion Sony Ericsson did a huge step back regarding functionality in wt19i (I previously owned a K750i w/ W800i FW). I like to get that functionality back and therefore I want to change key functions, but I need help!
I want to:
Change song by holding volume up/down button for 1 second.
Play/Pause pedia player by holding WALKMAN button for one second.
Change song by holding volume up/down button on head set for 1 second.
I know how to change key layout (here and here), but those keys are fine. I need to find a way to preserve the default funcs but add a hold-key-func.
Can you help me?
The Holy Cow will bless you.

These features are definitely missing on the wt19i, had the w800 before.
So far, the only mod available here in xda is skipping tracks when screen is locked. Check this thread for more info.

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

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!
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.
Can someone confirm if it's possible to change the track with the volume keys while the screen is turned off.
I can currently do this with my nexus 1 running cm7
Thanks

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.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Like the old Sony Ericsson Walkman phone's.
Hold up for next and down for previous.
It would be very usefull.
Hello guys!
I have several things in mind, and a few questions. Hope this is the right place to post.
First of all: why are all the smartphones makers getting rid of physical buttons? I don't see any good thing about those tactile buttons we have on the Galaxy S3 for instance: you press the "back" button by mistake all the time, and you have to turn your screen on to be able to use them.
How do you do when you're doing some sports or just walking down the street and simply press a button in your pocket to skip a track you're listening to?
Secondly: I thought there was a kind of rule about how to use the long press function on volume buttons. In my mind, it's clear that a long press on Volume Up will skip to the next track, and a long press on Volume Down will skip to the previous track. How disappointed I was when I discovered it was not the case on the Galaxy S3!
Is there a simple way to have this working (no custom ROM, no super complicated hacking...)? Is it a modification by Samsung itself? Cause apparently applications I was using before on my old HTC that supported this feature don't skip anymore when I long press on Volume Up button... instead, it just destroy my ears with a super loud volume! How useful is that?!
I don't want to change the stock ROM, as I had a lot of troubles before with custom ROMs on my previous smartphone (either the GPS wouldn't work anymore, or the camera, or another thing...)
Thanks in advance for your help and advices!
EDIT: I found a way to achieve this. Check out my other post!
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
