Question: change the track with the volume keys? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

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.

I dont think that function is supported, but i might be wrong.

PlayerPro's lockscreen function lets you do that.
Other than that, almost all stereo bluetooth headsets have track change buttons. I'm using SonyEricsson MW600 myself.

many thanks for your reply! I'll get this player !!
Have a look at poweramp as well for lock screen functionality.
Could be done with some key mapping? Although:
1) I've only read about it, never done it.
2) You'll loose volume up/down functionality on those keys.

[Q] Unlock / Turn screen on with volume buttons

My power button is broken on my samsung captivate and im aware that with widget locker you can use the volume buttons to turn the screen on but id much rather use the lockscreen on the MIUI rom currently on my phone.
Anyone got any answers?
Well, I know you said you're on Miui, but I know CM7 has its own setting to wake with volume buttons. Perhaps Miui does as well? And yes, I can confirm that Widgetlocker does have the option too. And WL is amazing. Completely customizable. There are many custom sliders for WL that are even patterned after the Miui style.

If you cant find it, your best best is to find a patch made for your phone or a similar phone that does it and open it and see what it does and mod accordingly. There was one for my phone if you were running HTC Sense.

wt19i advanced key layout changes

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.

[Q] volume rockers no longer control ringer volume, only notification volume

Updated to the note 3 about a month ago. The volume rockers used to control the ring volume which is what I want. They now only control notification volume.
Yes I know, pressing the button opens up the slider and I can maintain all the volumes from there.
I want to control ringer volume with the side volume buttons.
Anyone have any idea how this got changed or how I can revert back?
So no one knows how to change the settings for the side volume rockers? Am I missing a simple solution?
Are you running a live wallpaper? There are a few out there that make the device think it's playing some type of media, therefore, only trigger the media volume when adjusting the volume. If this isn't the case I'm not sure why your device is stuck on pulling up the notification volume instead of the ringer volume.

Honestly have no clue...maybe a bit more info will help....what rom are u running? Any mods you may have flashed? Have you thought about flashing a stock rooted rom? Just throwing out some suggestions. ..I haven't ever seen or heard of this but that's what I would do if it happened to me.
Good luck...it sounds very Irritating.

Thanks for the heads up on the live wallpaper. I never run them though. This Note is completely stock and unrooted. It's killing me not to root it. I have been waiting hoping for a work around on tripping the knox counter. In the meantime, this little glitch is driving me nuts. Thanks for the suggestions.
Start uninstalling apps until you figure it out. If that doesn't work then think about a factory reset.
