Volume buttons to change music track?

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.

[REQ] Volume buttons to change tracks

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!

[Q] Is there anyone or an app which can change the volume rocker to skip music?

Is there any app or customization out there that can skip music with long press on the volume rocker? This is a feature I miss, which the iPhones had, I hate having to press the unlock button (which is already annoying) and then change music, I want to be able to change music without touching the damn screen, any info would help.
Thank You

At times like this I wish I knew how to create/modify ROMs.

does anyone found a solution? i miss the remote control function from my iphone, is there a tool that can do the same behavior like on iphone?
(middle button)
one click -> stop/play
fast double click -> next track

The only option was to go on a custom ROM, Cyanogen ROM 6.1 RC2, which I have done, it's awesome.

You could always just use the headphones that come with the phone
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

First you would need to install a nolock app or widget, I use Lock Screen Switch widget but No Lock is good also if you prefer an app. Then you would need to install the button remapper or one like it in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 . I think then you would be able to do it.

thanks, i will try

i've found a better solution,
just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget
than in the htc music player, the controlls are working as follow:
middle klick
play/pause
top/bottom klick
while playing->volume control
while pausing->last/next track
so if you want to skip a track, just click once on the middle button to pause, and the up/down keys work as track control, otherwise while playing the keys work as volume control
works with my htc desire hd and the standard music player.

now there is a much better solution, now it acts exact like the iPhone headset control.
just download the "Headset Volume Controller" Widget, than put it on your home screen and activate the Widget
after that download and just install this app "Headset Button Controller"
now the headset control works like on the iphone:
1x (middle button) play/pause
2x (middle button) skip track
3x (middle button) last track
+/- Volume Up/Down

Volume Key Long Press

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

Bose MIE2 working with S2?

Does anybody here have some experience with the Bose MIE2 (NOT MIE2i!!!!!)? I'd like to know if these Headphones are working together with the SGS2, especially the Headset buttons (pickup call, end call, volume...)
Thanx and Cheers

got these and they sound great.
the volume buttons don't work but the end and start call button does. if you use PowerAMP you can use double and triple click to change track.

Thanks for your reply! Did you already try the "Headset Button Control" app to set up the volume buttons?
Cheers

@Zaphod_b_1 - seems like the volume control does not work on my SGS2 with "headset button control APP", but pause/play button works...
