How can I control the music on my Galaxy S II when it's plugged into my headunit via AUX, I can't use the lockscreen shortcuts because I have a PIN unlock code.
I was thinking I could cut the earphones off the headset and then solder these bare ends to an AUX cable so I can have music controls.
I also found PlayerPro which allows you to swipe to one side to bring up a player this works even with PIN Unlock code (Its basically two lockscreens and you change between them like you do with homescreens)
Anyone have any other ideas?
Your help is appreciated

Ok i listen to my GS2 in the car through an Aux cable and all is well
But when i lock the screen there is no way to skip the music tracks other than put in my pin and unlock the whole phone!!
Is there any way to bring up a quick music screen or widget to avoid doing this all the time??
Not the safest while driving

+1 for poweramp
yes there is in stock music player there is a little area at the top of the screen while locked.. (at least ifyou are locking without pattern, havent tested it with that)
just try hitting the center button then you can go to top of screen and control the music or skip tracks..
alternatively you can get a media adapter in iphone format and hit the button twice quick to skip tracks.. even while locked.
I have a set of Scosche iPhone mic/earbuds. The mic and earbud parts work, but no controls. (well one button works out of the three...the pause, call/hangup button)
Are there any wired/mic earbuds that will control the 3D?
Or are there any apps that will give these earbuds control?
I don't know, I haven't looked into it too much, but u do know that beats by dre headphones have the same controls, and HTC and Monster Cables have paired up to include Beats Integration.
Headset Button Control will let you map actions like skip to a double and triple tap of the play/pause button, I believe Tasker will as well... I doubt you'll find anything that will allow you to use the volume buttons.
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S Player 5.0, rooted and upgraded the firmware to stock gingergbread.
But i find when using the default music player in my car, the volume is very low, if i use poweramp it increases to the same as my iPod. However i dont want to use poweramp i want to use the stock music player. How can i boost the volume?
I have tried Voodoo but i have a stock Kernel so that doesnt work, is there any way to get into the service menus like on the Galaxy S2 and boost via the codes?
Is it just in the car? Or do you have this problem with speaker and earphones. Also are you using bluetooth to play it from car steros?

Quick Question. Have you tried to Google Play Music app and also have you tried to use any equalizers?
why dont you put the equalizer settings all the way up in the stock player? i have mine set up like that and it boosts the volume a good deal
Headphones are plenty loud enough, its just when i use it in my car. I use the Headphone socket in the car not bluetooth.
Equalizer settings are all the way up and it has made it louder but it is still alot quieter than Power Amp.
I prefer the default app as when you press the home button twice on the lockscreen it has the pulldown menu to change track easily, which is less hassle when driving than unlocking the screen and changing track in Power Amp. Also if i just use Power Amp il have the stock music icon sitting in the dock and not being used, i cant replace it with Power Amp unless i use a different launch can i??
Its not the songs as they are the same songs i have always had and on my old iPod the volume is much much louder.
I havent used google play music as its not available in the UK
Im guessing as there isnt a dialler on the Galaxy Player that the service codes to boost volume cant be accessed?
1.you can change the icon just hold and drag unless its not on the "desktop" then you go into the app drawer and press the menu button and press the edit button and now just hold and drag and i am pretty sure poweramp has equalizer settings that you can put up to and it should have a lockscreen control available.... or not try n7player.... it's pretty good

there is no harm in flashing a kernel if you fell up to it. if not you can go into setting of the main music app and one of the last settings for sound alive is user 1 and user 2. use one of those and drag all the knobs up to the top and that should give you a great deal of difference in sound level

Why don't you use Poweramp's lock screen?
And the icon in the dock can be changed, I changed mine to Poweramp.

+1 Poweramps lockscreen kicks the crap out of the stock.
Also Voodoo sound is for the 4.0, nothing you can EVER do to the 5.0 will make voodoo sound work on it, it uses a different DAC.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
