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.

is there a way to use the volume buttons to switch between tracks? like in my old k800 when i longpressed a volume button it played the next or the previous track. it would be nice and it would save battery cos it would not activate the screen all the time
Hey, I was thinking about something likewise. It would be nice that while the phone is closed, a single click on the camera button would start/stop music, a double click on the camera button would go to next track.
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.
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 )
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
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
