Greetings everyone, im looking for app that could skip songs of my handset while the screen is locked (black). Would be awesome if i could use buttons like double click volume up = Next Song. Double click volume down = Previous song.
Probably You can look for shake 2 play -its not exacly what Youre looking for, but should try it.

+1 Would love to have that in my life lol
ok am i completely missing something? i just got the GT540 but i previously had the htc hero.
the hero had a lockscreen where if you was playing music you could skip track, pause, and rewind track without actually unlockign the phone.
does the gt540 not have this? i notice it has a differnet lock screen, the hero had alside down arched one.
woulkd it not be possible to just install this lockscreen? would that help?
i have no idea where to get it from or what to do once you get it but i bet someone out there does?

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.
Howdy guys!
I hope you have all recovered from the crazies of last night!
I have a bug to report for CM7. I use the lockscreen music controls which can be activated from the Cyanogenmod settings>Lockscreen>Widget options.
So here is what's wrong. Sometimes it works all fine but more often than not, what happens is that the music controls (back, play/pause, skip) just don't work. I press the next button a few times, but nothing happens. I unlock the phone and go to the next song manually in the app. But then after sometime the songs skip a few times. Looks like there is a huge delay between pressing the button and it doing what I ask for...
Same with play/pause and back buttons. By the way, I use the Google music BUT this happens with the stock music app as well.
Please help. I am a music addict. I need my fix! (pun purely coincidental)

I used TiBu to freeze the default player, and I use PowerAMP Pro. It just works, and the PowerAMP slide lock screen controls work perfect. Just me, though.
Ciao!
I just flashed this rom last night and while walking to work today, I gave the music player a try and didn't have any issues with skipping, both with the lock screen and long holding the volume button.
+1 on PowerAmp. That app rocks! It was one of the first apps I purchased. TiBu was the next one.
Have you tried the setting to skip songs with the volume up/down buttons? I've been using that feature so I dont even have to turn the phone on to use the screen.
I would use other music apps but I also use Google Music and other music apps dont have the ability to stream from there yet.
EDIT: Or try gestures to skip, play, pause, etc.

+1 I also use power amp. No issues here.
I think I know what the problem is. I've had this same issue too in the past. If you press the play button on the widget, the lock screen doesn't show up so in order for it to work normally you would need to enter into the app first to work which defeats the purpose of the widget. I am using cubed music player.
Not sure how to fix your problem, but here might be an alternative for you!!
While the screen is "off"(and possibly at the lock screen), you can HOLD the volume UP button to go to the next track, and HOLD the volume DOWN to go back a 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.

Like the old Sony Ericsson Walkman phone's.
Hold up for next and down for previous.
It would be very usefull.
Just wondering if there's a way to change songs using the headphones you get with the s3? Or if there's an app that let's you do it?
Thanks!

if you got original headphone, then you'll find that there's 3 button..
volume up, volume down, then the "other button"..
if you press the "other button" once, the music will paused or started..
Just make sure u pressed it twice to change the song..
Check out Jays Headset Control in the Play Store.
Its meant for single button configurations, but it works perfect to with my 2 (or 3) button configuration S3 supplied earphones
(edit) note that stock works too. but the app gives more options like prev track
Ahhhh thanks guys!
Exorcist I kind of feel stupid Haha so simple!! Was bugging me big time

I wasnt aware of that app, thanks
I couldn't get any of the marketplace apps to override the headset +/- buttons from acting as volume buttons, but have now worked out how to simply remap them to act as track controls, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28752382#post28752382

See my post two above yours for a fairly easy DIY fix, should work in any ROM I'd have thought.

Thanks for answer me but, is not working, I did everything you say in that post, but I can`t make them work I see the whole Generic.kl from my original stock rom that doesn`t have problems changing to the next track o pause etc., and it is the same Generic.kl, I don`t know what is happening, is a really weird issue.
I just upgraded my Nexus 4 to an HTC One, and I have only one complaint. On the other, when listening to music (in my case with Poweramp), a quick double tap of the wired headset button would skip songs. On the HTC One it appears to dial the last person I spoke to.
It's hard to break the habit of trying to skip songs with this button, and annoying if I have to take my phone out of the sleeve and unlock it every time.
Does anyone know if there's a way to change this? Poweramp has this Priority thing which can't prevent the phone from dialing everytime I try to skip a song, so I'm a little lost here..
I'm using the stock headset and I've tried with others and got the same.
Is there any option which I can disable and I'm not seeing?
Thanks in advance.

It's considered a "feature" on the HTC one.

Sure - you should be able to change it in the keyboard layout, by simply switching the keys for HEADSETHOOK and MEDIA_NEXT. In our case, this is located in /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl. HEADSETHOOK is key 226, and MEDIA_NEXT is key 163. You can switch these (IE 163 becomes HEADSETHOOK and 226 becomes MEDIA_NEXT, and it should do what you want.

That sound like a guru answer, thanks man.
I have my phone rooted, but I haven't S-OFF yet........ your method can be done with S-ON?
Thanks in advance dude.
Yea man..as long as you're rooted and running a kernel with system write protection disabled (i.e. any custom rom/kernel)
You can also try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton&hl=en
it's what I use and it works pretty well.
