is it possible to assign a long press of the volume keys to a function.
specifically, i would like to pause or stop music/podcasts while device is locked. i like to listen to podcasts while going to sleep and would like to be able to stop them playing easily.
Cheers

Hello,
Not sure if this is something at all possible BUT I have a mount in my car for my HD and connect my phone to the stereo. Now, if I am driving and the screen goes to 'Sleep' mode, it can be kind of cumbersome to turn the screen back on just to change a track.
I was wondering if it was at all possible to put a code in place for the buttons that WHEN the screen goes to sleep and IF Windows Media Player is playing for example, that the volume keys can change tracks up or down instead of the volume?
I know someone will say 'well just turn sleep mode off' but this is not something I want to do.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, you could use AE Button Plus to map the Volume Rocker to up/down arrows, then slide to the music tab in TF3D, play the muisc and set screen display off.
To play next/prev song, just press the rocker key once.
Hi, is there any ways to change the track by holding or tapping the volume buttons(instead of turning on the phone and everything)?
I also use headphones w/ controls but everytime I press the button, it either pauses or plays the music and if I double press, it redials. Is there a way to fix that too?
Thanks in advance.

This will be implemented in CyanogenMod 6 I believe. With the screen off, you can hold the volume key down and it will skip forward or backward depending on which key you are pressing.
Thanks for the reply!
Is there a shortcut to access music? like iphone, double tab the home button and you can change songs straight from the home screen. Is this possible with the g2? It makes a whole lot easier when trying to change songs while driving so you dont have to unlock, go to music player on home screen and then hit next.
hopefully when its rooted, you'll be able to hold the volume up button and it would go to the next song (addon)

lol. but wouldn't that just change the volume? theres a nexus one hack that lets you skip+pause songs by clicking the scroll ball when locked. probably could change that to get it to work with the G2's trackpad.
Not sure of an app that does the same as the iPod. But I use MixZing Media Player, you can enable a widget that pops up on your lock screen that lets you pause, play and skip songs. Also shows the artwork for the current song playing. That feature isn't free though. You have to purchase the upgrade for $7.99
skip/back by holding the volume rocker is a standard feature in CM6

I'm not sure why, but that feature never worked on my Nexus. No matter how long I held it down.
You could always use QuickDesk. It'd function exactly how you want it if you put just the music widget on it.

Does not happen a lot but when I take the phone from my pocket, it happens I grab it and press on the volume (up) button.
Pressing on the volume button (long press) does not only increase by one notch the volume, it increases the intensity as long as I press on the button. In less than 3 seconds, the volume is maxed destroying my ears.
What I would like => Long press does not increases more than one notch the volume. If I want to increase by another notch I have to repress on the buttom.
Long press could be used to skip to the next song. Blackberry had that, I don't know why my galaxy can't do that.
I bought poweramp music player but I was not able to use the double/triple press nor the long press feature to skip to next song.
I am running jelly beans and I was also doing that previous version.
I'm pretty sure most Android phones continue raising the volume if you hold down the volume key, but the S3 does it really fast! If there was a way to lower the repeat rate I'd love to see it.
As for those options in Power Amp, they only refer to headsets with media controls; not the on-device buttons

Yea, volume goes up way too fast. The S3 is not a very nice music player due to that, if you do sport you have to check your phone to skip music while you could do it just by long pressing - no need to take it out of your pocket or look at it!

Is it possible to change so that i can use the volume buttons to skip forward and backwards in music?
As currently, i have to drag my finger, and i don´t know if it´s my phone or the apps, but it isn´t always perfect, sometime it doesn´t sense that i drag, so i have to spam it.
And anyhow, it´s very hard to make fast small skips. For example, i listen to an Audio Book, i don´t hear a word randomly, so i want to back like 5 secs.
Well i have to first press the home button to get the screen lit up. Then Unlock the phone (i know i can disable this).
And finally i have to drag 5 secs back. And while it is possible if the clip is very short, like 30-1 min. But when it´s 4-5min, it´s pretty impossible.
So if i could make the volume buttons work as a skip button when i play music, it would be perfect.
