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!

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.

Hi guys
Hope I am posting this in the right place. I'm looking for an app that allows me to increase the volume on my gs2 by smaller increments than the volume rocker does standard? Basically every time i hit up or down on the volume rocker the difference is huge. I can't seem to find the right volume for music. One notch will be too quiet, the next one up is too loud. My setup is:
2.3.4 stock, unrooted
Equalizer app custom eq
poweramp eq
Ultimate ears super fi noise isolating headphones
I use these settings and apps because standard it sounds rubbish. i've finally got my sounds right, but can't get the right volume! I've tried heaps of apps from the market, volume+, volume control, etc. All increase the volume by the standard 10% increment rather than the 5% i'm looking for. Fine volume control sort of worked, but it seemed after i adjusted the volume it would quickly revert in a second or two.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, that shouldn't be happening; are you using the hardware volume buttons to change the volume? You have to use the dial or in-app sliders to modify the volume, if you use any other app to change the volume (or the rocker buttons), then it will move in larger increments.
If you need more a longer time to trial it, then PM/email me your UUID (menu/preferences then hold down your back button)
Thanks, I will give this another try and report back.

With some more experimentation, this works really well, so I bought it two things I was wondering about though, is there any way to lock volume, as I must be knocking as it shoots right up, and is there any way to save as a preset?

Presets are a possible future addition.
Not sure about volume lock, there are apps in the market like "RingGuard" and "Volume Locker" which would work - but only if you moved the volume enough to trigger an API level volume change, which is approx every 10-20%.

The volume slider shoots up when you press the hardware volume buttons? That's normal - it's because of how your device volume is calibrated (by the ROM).
The default volume stages aren't evenly spread across the entire available range. Our app shows the full range available, so when you press the volume buttons (from outside our app) it can appear to jump. It is effectively jumping, because the default API doesn't allow you to access those volume levels that lie between jumps (but you can with fine volume).
Basically, all other volume control apps and the Android system show the volume in terms of API volume levels. Fine volume control shows the volume in terms of the full available range. All other apps (and the volume hardware buttons) change the volume in terms of API levels.
It shoots up when using the dial. I've tried changing the sensitivity as well. Seems to always shoot media volume to 94%. It only does this occasionally though. All in all a great app!

Just to confirm, the dual on the far left is the overall volume? So if I am at 90% media volume but 7% overall, the media volume is 90% of the 7%, not of its possible maximum?

No, each slider is independent from the rest (ringer and notification are locked together though). There is no overall volume control.
The slider on the left (Android logo) is "System" volume, things like Screen lock sounds.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 for which I wanted fine volume control. I like to be able to change volume using the rocker but it instantly shoots to 100% and that is extremely painful when using canalphones. I have uninstalled fine volume control 2 because I don't want to run the risk of insane volume levels.
Does anyone have any idea if this can be built into the volume API and have reliable hardware control?

Were you using the dial/overlay to change the volume?
Did the overlay not respond to your initial gesture, then suddenly "catch-up"?
Were you turning the volume up when it jumped?
I'm really sorry about this, I'll try and put in some volume limiter to prevent it happening.

Sorry for the late reply.
Dial/overlay worked as expected. what was causing problems was accidental use of the hardware buttons. Because that is what I am used to using. The app does not change hardware button behaviour and actually makes it worse as the volume can go almost instantly from 0 to 100% when touching the rocker.

The main volume app component overrides the hardware buttons and increases/decreases the volume by 1% each time you tap the button.
If the main volume app isn't currently on top, it can't override the hardware buttons (the overlay can't override either). It's a limitation of the Android system.
Each time you hit the hardware buttons from outside of the app, the volume will change in the default way (15 stages for media).
I've had a few reports of a bug when using earphones on the SGSII of erratic volume levels, so I have since added a volume limiter for when using headphones to workaround that sort of issue.
i am not here much as i am not a super programer but is there any way to make one volume that adjusts all volumes on the note 2. my previous androids had a selection that let me combine all my volumes. It just seems to be a pain in the ass to keep having to open my volume controls and adjust each one seperately everytime i go into a meeting or movie or whatever. I know this seems stupid but any help would be awesome
i don't think it's possible because they are multi file inside the rom for each volume
this is my opinion so..............i'm not 100% this is the best answer

It is assumed that the volume buttons perform this function? At least for me when using the volume down button, you reduce the overall volume for notifications, media, ringer, etc.
However, maybe I misunderstood his request.

yes is there any way where volume button controls all volumes at once without opening my settings?
Hi all
First question here, been reading for a long time.
Got N-5110
Volume rocker function seems switched.
Looking from the side, on/off is left, volume rocker right.
Pressing volume rockers left side (the side of the on/off switch increases volume
Pressing the right side decreases volume.
Is this a setting? Is this with your tabs also?
On tab 10,1 it was the other was around.
Thanks
Hans

Hans, no you are not crazy.... same here. Lets see if there is an option to reverse that as we watch the other posts.
regards,
The volume rocker layout is what I would expect it to be. If the tablet is held in portrait orientation, pushing volume "up" makes it louder, "down" makes it less loud. Same as on a phone. I'd think that it would be confusing having this layout on your phone, and the opposite function on the Note 8. I haven't tried every tablet out there, but every one I've used has the same volume rocker layout. So to me, the layout on the 10.1 seems "wrong".
