use headset to skip song instead make it louder - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my SGS3, when listening to music, I have no option to skip a song via headset (the original ones) it just increases or decreses the volume. That's really weird for me. On my old HD2 I was able to control die music whith clicking up or down and with a long click (like click and hold for a sec) it skipped a song forward or backwards. That was pretty nice. I really miss it, but I would be even fine with skipping the songs instead of changing the volume on my SGS3

just doubleclick on the "play/pause" button

for all the others, who want the skip button on in-/decreasing hardware buttons: here is a workout for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872747&highlight=playlist it's really helpful

Monster Beats Control Talk feature

Is there someone out there who has used these headphones with a Hero? Does the Control Talk feature work?
Can't find your particular model that quick but -->
Used to have V-Moda Vibe Duo with a single control button.
A lot of music players (at least cube, htc player, I assume DoubleTwist...) are able to interpret clicks on that button:
- single click = play/pause
- Double click = next song
- triple click might have been something, although I am unsure...
And while listening music -> incoming call --> Push button to answer, hold button to hang.
It was very comfortable to be able to have decent quality music + be able to have some control over the phone, but the double clicking was rather annoying, didn't always work (paused the song instead of skipping)
Nice looking brand by the way

[Q] headphone headset Buttons help!

So i have 2 sets of headphones with mic and a button on them (different types) and i want to know how you can control what that button does.
Right now, it can :
answer calls when a call comes in and i press it once.
When i am in a call, and i press it once it mutes the call instead of hang up ( I want to be able to hang up!)
Play/pause music in meridian music player with 1 press
Skip song in meridian with 2 quick presses
previous song in meridian with 2 slow presses
So how can i make that one press during a call hang up instead of mute the microphone. is there an app or something that helps control stuff like this? i know when i had windows mobile there was an app that let me even configure even 3 consecutive quick clicks on the headphone button to launch an app or something. is it possible on android and the eris?
thanks for your help in advance.
forgot to add, i have a droid eris with kaos froyo v29
Usually those 3rd party headsets dont have any options to configure it to what the buttons do, if it was like a verizon headset or bluetooth piece it may have more configuration options.

What do I need to do to use volume buttons to skip to the next music track?

Hi,
I really, really miss the function of being able to skip to the next track by holding down the volume buttons, like on my blackberry, so I don't have to take the phone out of my pocket, wake it up, unlock screen, and manually press the "next" button just to skip to the next track (I am the type of person that skips tracks often, and do not like playlists).
Since I use custom in ear monitors, I don't have the remote on the earphone like the stock earphones do.
On the web, someone mentioned that all I have to do is root the phone, and install an app such as buttonremapper, and then I will be able to remap the volume button to act as a music track skipper when being long pressed.
Is this true? I much rather not flash to another rom.
Thank you soooo much!
Cyanogenmod has this functionality. Currently, nothing other than Cyanogen will do what you want.
If you want to keep stock ROM though, your only choice is PlayerPro. It has a lockscreen widget that lets you use the volume buttons to skip tracks when the device is locked.
Ah, thank you for your reply! I had actually used Player Pro when I first gotten my SG2, but switched to Poweramp because of the better EQ.
I have downloaded Player Pro again, and the skip song function works great. I just wish it works while the screen is on, and works with widgetlocker instead of its own locker. But I know I can't have everything.
Thank you again.
No problem. Latest version of PlayerPro also introduced a shake to skip songs feature, so you can use that to skip songs while another app is active. I tried it and it works.
Once again, thank you so much aydc! You have solved my problem! I will give the shake and bake a try, I just hope people don't think I am weird when they see my hand shaking/baking around in my pocket..
I LOVE this phone! (other then no led notification, and no default music skipping via volume button )

Inline Headphone controls not working

I just got my phone yesterday, coming from Galaxy S3, and am having an issue with the headphone controls.
I've looked for other posts but don't see any resolutions.
Here's what's happening:
If no music program is running and I press the button on the remote, it starts the music program (google music) and plays a song.
If I press the button while music is playing, it pauses/resumes the song.
If i double press the button while music is playing, it stops the song and dials the last number.
If I i plug my 3 button Galaxy S3 headphones into the HTC one, all 3 buttons (Previous, Next, Middle button) work.
How do I get the stock HTC One headphones to be able to skip to the next track?
download "headset button controller" from play store

Change song title while running

So every time I try to skip a song while running , I press the button, swipe left and change the current song only to notice that my activity has been paused. Any solution for this?
Long press for volume up or down on headphones will skip track. At least my headphones offers that.
