Does anyone know how to change a song without turning on the device?
I'm using the stock earphones they gave me.
There's a free music player called "Nitrogen" that lets you skip the current song by shaking the device! It also has keyboard shortcuts so you can assign some function to your keyboard keys.
You can download it here: http://nitrogen.wmskins.com/
There's a cab floating around that lets you use the "talk" button on a headset with mic to skip forward a song, I think two presses either goes back or does something else.
Not sure what it's called, will let you know if I find it.
Hi, i've searching for this for a while, but to no avail.
I love my new Galaxy S2, but there is one issue that bothers me, and that is that I have to take it out of my pocket to skip tracks.
I heard from one person stating you could skip the track by long pressing the button on the supplied head phones, however I cannot get this to work. Does this work for any body else?
If the headphones can't skip track, does anyone know of any that do (volume control is not important)? Or an app/trick to skip track without needing to take the phone out of my pocket? (such as long press volume rocker)
I have an old bluetooth stereo headset, and even this won't allow track skipping, only play/pause, despite working fine with my nexus one. All help would be greatly appreciated.
You skip tracks by double pressing the mic button. It's a pain to get the timing right, but it does work with the stock music player.
You can download PowerAMP Music Player from the android market.
It's a better music player and you can longpress the button to change the track
Trail version is 15 days, you gotta buy the full app after that

So If my headphones can't even play/pause the stock music app , I might have an some other underlying issue?
Strangely I play/pause with the headset if I install Fedes music app alpha v4, and possibly others. Will try uninstalling all music apps again and see if they were interferring somehow.
Confused!
To follow up, the double click to skip works in Fedes Music app (you're right about the timing) but still won't work in either the stock music app or the music hub.
Really fustrating.
The double clicking works on stock but you have to get the timing right, which is near impossible. The whole Samsung s2 stock music app is a load of crap compared to the original S, the sound, the music contol, the whole thing is much worse! I don't know what they have done, but they have definitely gone backwards with the music app!
You can use a remote from an HTC headphone for skipping tracks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the button does not work at all when using the stock app. No play/pause, no track skip, nothing.
All other music apps seem to work as intended. So surely this must be an issue with my stock music app? As if there is a hidden setting I turned off, but can't find to turn back on.

About 2.5 years too late but I think I've nailed it. I can get a consistently successful double click skip by holding the first click a little longer. Using a pair of cheap Sony earphones on the S2.
One of the features that I miss having on my G4 is the ability to skip music tracks using the volume buttons while the screen is off. I use Google play music on my drive home from work and used to use xposed or custom Roms on previous phones to skip tracks. After a search on Google play, I found an app called pocket skip track. It allows you to single tap or double tap the volume up and down buttons to skip tracks without root! I figured I would pass this along since it was a feature I was really missing.

Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Thanks for that
Where do you set the defaults?
Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?
I am using my iPhone headphones with my oneplus 5T and when I try to skip to the next song on spotify by double tapping the play/pause button on the volume rocker in the cord of the headphones like I have on my iphone and other android devices, it just skips to the next song but does not start playing as says the next song is paused.
Now I have tried the apps from the android app store that add these gestures but same result as above.
Is this due to me using an iPhone headphone on an android device? Something to do with a setting in spotify? I've also read that this is not a feature for oxygenOS? I've also noticed that using the volume up/down does not adjust the volume as well. I know oxygen OS offers gestures to change to the next song but I do not want to do that if my phone is in my pocket.
This is very frustrating when I have my phone in my pocket at the gym and need to skip to the next song. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
