using volume rocker to skip songs - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I am new to this forum and new to android. I have a nexus one that my friend rooted for me.......he also put cyanogen 6.0 on it. I love the phone but I am having one really annoying problem. I like to use the volume rocker to skip songs and on the nexus one I cant do that.
Does anyone know if its possible to long press the volume rocker to skip songs?
If so, can you please show me how.
thank you

well. you actually can do that. just lock your screen and press(and hold) the volume rocker. it'll skip the song.

Yeah thats right...the phone has to be locked for it to work. Does anyone know how I can port this feature to another ROM???? any help would be great.

Media controlor buttons dont work

Hello I bought this media controller but the buttons don't work.
When I hit either the volume or change song buttons nothing happens. Can anyone help? can it be because I have 6.1 installed?
Thanks all!

App for locking volume buttons?

Yes, I constantly accidentally hit the volume buttons. Is there an app that can lock them, so they only work after I enable them in the app?
Really? My favorite thing about the phone is that the volume buttons work when the phone sleeps. That drives me insane about every other phone/mp3 player I've used.... having to dig the phone out of my pocket and wake it up just to adjust the volume.
How are you accidentally hitting the volume buttons? Just curious.
One thing I've been wanting to request is a way to make a long-press of the volume buttons be forward/back a track. That'd rule.

When I go from portrait to landscape, by the time I'm done, I see the volume change window on the screen. I don't even know if I hit the + or the -.

help with a tweak: lock screen but keep volume buttons unlocked

Here is a question for the most advanced of you on wm6 tweak; take it as a challenge ;-)
I like the screen lock tweak, but I would like to be able to have the volume buttons unlocked, since quite often I listen to music and I want to adjust volume in connection to how noise the place is. As it is right now, I have to unlock the phone every time before pressing the volume buttons up or down.
Do you have any ideas on how to play with the registry in order to achieve this?
also interested in this one ... any ideas?
My topaz has exactly what you want by default, somehow... i was actually hoping for the opposite, though...
when my topaz is locked, the only buttons that aren't locked are the volume buttons, and it's actually really annoying, since when my device is locked, i expect it to be LOCKED.
anyone know how to disable this?

[Q] Switch Volume Buttons

Hi There
I have had a look all over for something like this and maybe I am blind and if so please forgive me for starting a thread for this if there is already one. But I want to know, is there anyway of swapping the volume button so that the down volume becomes the up volume when in a landscape orientation. Cause right now it seem to work the wrong way round in landscape and you push the right volume key(Down) to make it go down and the volume slider moves left... Not something big and if it's not possible that's fine just seems silly that way round and I prefer it the other way.
Thanks for any answers.

Anyone got a an answer for this? Don't want to bump it up if not but just curious. Thanks.

Any way to lock the ringtone volume to one level?

I recently migrated from the iPhone 4S to the N3.
So far, I'm liking most of the features.
However, the one thing that does bother me is that the ringtone volume is directly tied to the media level.
Is there anyway to isolate the ringtone volume so that when I increase/decrease the system volume via the rocker, the ringtone volume remains constant? Starting in iOS 6, this was allowed on the iphone. Please don't tell me that this is something ONLY iPhone can do.
Thanks in advance.

When you press the volume up or down key, tap the settings key right next to the pop-up and it will show the other volume levels.

Not sure your software version, but my volume button controls only the ringer unless a game or some other form of media is running, then it controls that media but not the ringer. The only time I notice it affecting the ringer is if in the case of a game and I try to adjust before the game is fully loaded. If you watch you see a phone icon or a speaker on the slider. If you try to adjust for media too soon you will notice the slider is still showing the phone instead of the speaker for media.
