[Q] Skip Song - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So on my Hero I could long press the volume buttons to skip the song without turning on the screen, can't seem to find a way to do this on the SII, any ideas? Or is it just not possible?

If you're using the stock earphones just long press the button on them. Works in poweramp at least.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I don't use the stock headphones.

[Q] MH500 Headphones + Music

Hello,
I'm using the MH500 headphones that came with my X10. I was wondering if there is any information or a list of press sequences available on how to control music playback.
For example, what press sequences are recognized by the X10 to control music, or would that be specific to the music player I'm using? I'm using PowerAmp atm.
So far I can perform pause,play and next by doing a long press and double pressing the button. Is there a way to go previous,fastforward,rewind?
Thanks,
W.

iPhone headset on HTC Hero

hello,
i have HTC Hero with Villain ROM v. 13. i need to skip to next song with long press Vol UP, and previous with long press Vol DOWN, on EELinux ROM i can make this.
please help me to modify settings so go with long press Vol UP next song.
also i have iPhone 4 headset and work only play/pause button, i need to skip song or increase volume with headset buttons.
please help me and sorry for my english.
I am surprised to see that the vol up /down buttons did anything for you with the iPhone headset, the onlything I ever saw working was the middle button witch seems to have the same effect as the middle button on the HTC Headset.
maybe If you find out the intents the buttons on each specific headset triggers you can help devs implement it.
I unfortunatly cannot do this myself as both my apple and HTC Headsets broke.
Can you actually call with the Apple Headset? For me the apple mic never worked.
PS: AFAIK there is no Setting for the wired buttons, it either works or it doesn't.

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 )

CM7 lockscreen music controls bug

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.

[Q] Is it possible to change tracks by pressing the volume key on the headset?

The entire question is contained in the title. I tried PowerAmp's feature, but it didn't work for me. I have the headset the S3 came with.
double-click on the pause/play button of the supplied S3 headset to skip track.

I've worked out how to do this, on my S3 at least, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28752382#post28752382
