Just purchased the 2 on release day for full price and so excited to try out Samsung. I am a heavy music listener and have to use headphones. I tried the set I purchased for my last phone HTC brand in Amazon and the stock ones that came with the phone (Samsung) and for the love of all mighty I am unable to get the darm things to skip/fast forward. The only thing it does is lower the volume or raise it. WTF that's what the volume buttons on the phone are for.
I have been all over the settings in the phone and the music players and unable to find anything that looks like it would help. This is doing it while on stock and power amp music players. Also I am running stock if that helps.
Has anyone figured it how to get that to work and if so how?
Thanks,
A desperate man who wants to skip. Lol
Lol I had the same issue downloaded an app called headset button controller it's only a trial but it's working great. There was another free app that I plan on trying out as well called JAYS headset control try out either see which one u like best. I don't think u can use the volume button to skip tracks but the third button on the controller can do it all skip/play/stop/previous just by double/triple/quadruple tapping using those apps.

I test my Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Vi on a friends EVO before I bought mine and they worked like a champ. They also worked fine on my EVO until around the time of the last OTA update. Now they won't control my music player Mixzing anymore and also won't answer calls. I'm fairly certain they aren't broken so curious if anyone has had a similar experience?
Thanks!
I have the same headphones. How do you control the music?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
One click to pause, a second click to begin playing again. 2 fast clicks to skip a song. When the phone rings clicking the button will answer.
You have to use an app that supports the controls like Mixzing. There is a setting to enable headset controls.
FWIW, I did a hard reset and the controls began working. Not sure where / how it got tweaked but that was it. Working now.
Thanks alot.

Build 19 of AOKP Rom can do this
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11455-rom-android-open-kang-project-maguro-build-19-jan-17/
A guick Google search found PlayerPro which seems to do it, but I don't know anything about the player...
PowerAmp has had good reviews, and I think it might do it as well.
If you're using custom ROM, it is already included in Bigxies v.9. (GSM) (CDMA)
Otherwise I guess it is in CM as well...

if using headphones.....
Did you know the supplied headphones will skip to the next track if you do a quick double clip on the headphone cable pause button
Haved you tried cubed?

I used to use it on my old phone and it supported skipping songs by holding volume.

Those supplied headphones with the phone aren't necessarily "top quality."
To follow up, found nothing with power amp
Used player pro trial, and it has shake to skip song which works great if anyone is interested
So no need to wake up screen every song change, with screen closed, share it and it skips song.
Comes in handy at work where I don't have skip buttons on headphones

Is there anything that can be done about the volume limiting when playing music in the car. It is really irritating to have music playing and two seconds later, the volume get adjusted back by the phone. Does this while using Poweramp. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?

That seems to have made an improvement. I'm sure it will be even better when I get the phone plugged up to the car stereo. Thank you.
Edit 1: Tried it in the car and still the volume resets. It does however, increase the volume otherwise. Just not when connected to the car via headphone out jack. Poweramp seems to be the culprit as other music apps doesn't have this issue.
Edit 2: Installed Volume+...Follow the steps to get it and Poweramp to work together...Everything is working fine now. Thanks!:good:

Has anyone found a way to disable the volume limiting while using the Bluetooth? I'm annoyed with the fact that when I start streaming music in my car, I have to take my phone out and raise the volume and having to tap OK to that dialogue box that would then allow me to go to turn it up to 100.
I only had to do that the first time. Every time I've connected to my BT since, it has already been at full volume. If I adjust the volume after connecting, I can see that the volume bar has the last quarter or so as red as a reminder, but it hasn't ever dropped back down below that level or prompted me a second time.
I'm not sure why yours is acting differently unless you have an app that is changing your BT volume in the background.
Yes this is happening to me too. Soo annoying.

Every time you switch the phone off and on will the restriction reactivate. So yeah need to tureen this off
In Poweramp you go to advanced setting and activate direct volume control and turn it to max. It will then be set there for BT. The S4 did this automatically, but no big issue since a one time setting change.
^How do I get to Poweramp?
Anyone find a way other than using a paid app to deal with this? Does adjusting that setting in Poweramp work even if you aren't using Poweramp? I most frequently use the integrated Pandora streaming in my car.
OTOH Poweramp full is on sale for $1 right now.

Try Tasker or automateit it pro and set permissions for volume levels. Works great on my Bluetooth headset.
I've tried a couple random ones from the play store none of which worked. If anyone knows an app that will allow me to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I've been using Pocket Skip Track and it seems to work fine. The only issue I have is that it will only work with a single music player at a time and you can only skip ahead (not back).

I tried this app but it doesn't seem to work with Spotify. I disabled LG's shortcut keys and played around with the apps settings. When I hit volume up to skip the track the volume just goes up and down.
Looks like we'll have to wait until root. I couldn't find anything either. Only think I can suggest is using bluetooth headphones that have buttons for changing the track built in.

Also if you have wired earphones/headphones that have physical button, most players support skipping to next track by double clicking the main button. Single click pauses the track.
On a side note, I use the power amp media player which is really good, and it also has equalizer built in, (custom configurable) which is not present in either the LG music or Google music apps. You need to use an app called "Equalizer" from the play store if you need custom equalizer for other music apps.
Another option might be the little "button-thingy" that sticks into your headphone jack. I just bought one off of Amazon for $6 to give it a try.

I'll report back once I receive it.
Music Folder Player
Try Music Folder Player. I've used that for awhile. Pretty much hold down the volume button up or down and it will skip to the next song or the previous song.
poweramp has this ability built in

I need to be able to skip songs in Pandora and Spotify. Can this app do that or only for songs played with the app itself? Thanks.
I really want to know

Oh OK. Didn't know you were trying to do that. No that app is just for songs you have in your storage. Sorry.
Just got my pressy (knockoff) button and am happy to report that it DOES work with Spotify. I'm using the app Key Cut and a double press input to skip tracks. It also works with all of the other media players I have tried thus far (Poweramp, Google Music, LG Music). Since I stream most of my music through bluetooth it is a good solution for my needs but not sure if this will help solve your problem.
i really want to know ,thank you ！

I figured either gravity box or wanam for lollipop would work. I just wasn't sure what the UI the G4 would fall under, AOSP (gravity box) or more like TW (wanam); as I don't have the phone yet. I know wanam is for Samsung stock roms but I've used it on other custom roms too. There's also a standalone module called Physical Button Music Control by XspeedPL.
GravityBox works for the most part. Sometimes it won't skip tracks but a reboot fixes it.
The xposed module "Physical Button Music Control" is by far the best option. It works every time without fail whereas gravity box is hit or miss. Plus you can program the volume keys and power button to do more than gravity box can.
Hi, check this app in this thread, it has volume buttons skip tracks with single or double click:

I second this one here, I have tried quite a few, and this one works by far the best, albeit still not perfect.
