[Q] Use the headphone controls to change tracks? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My old (HTC) phone used the controls on the headphone cable to move between tracks, instead of change volume.
I have to admit I prefer things that way - so would like to know if there's any way to change the behaviour on my Mini.
Any suggestions (apps, mods to flash, etc) appreciated

Tried holding the buttons?
I had those also on my previous phone (Motorola) and it worked by long pressing those buttons.

Take a look at my thread here, there's a "press volume keys to skip tracks mod" and there's a chance it could also work with your headphones control http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39282702#post39282702

[Q] not mapping vol button to ringer

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to map the vol+/- button to media volume instead of ringer volume when you're on home screen?
thank you
It should automatically switch to media volume when media is playing. What exactly are you trying to do?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Somtimes i want to lower the media volume before starting a game.. wish just using buttons could do it!
It can be a pain...
I use Audio Manager. It's an app, not hardware, but it works...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Another option: I use Volumer++. You can have it live right in the status bar. Volume keys are remapped to MENU and BACK.
Not the answer to your question, but this app is very cool, and you can select the volumes to control. I find it much easier to manage volumes than using Volumer or Audio Manager.

I forgot that audiomnager exist, i will give it a try.
Thank
I too am interested if anyone has found a solution to this. I have no need for my Nook's volume keys to do anything with ringer volume. I would love to be able to remap these for media volume exclusively.

Switch tracks with longpress volume buttons?

I know this feature exists with CM, but is there any way to get it with other Roms?
I'm currently running GR-10, would love the ability to swtich tracks with the volume buttons...it'd be hella helpful while driving.
Yeah I listen to music on my cappy all the time & that was one of my favorite features of cm7. Makes me miss my iPhone lol

Yes playerpro does but the issue was that it would turn the screen on if you tried and then yuo have to long press again .. I would like to do it with the screen off, saving more battery life since the screen isnt being turned on

[Q]music app where we can switch music( in earphone with volume button )?

hi everyone ..is there a way to switch music using note earphone while playing music??? if yes plz hlp ..if no plzz create it
search for android headset button reassign or something similar. there are apps in the market you can assign different actions for different buttons and clicks (like double or tripple) with.
There's a free Klipsch app on the market to go with their S4A earphones, however the app seems to work other one button headsets as well.
I'm assuming by switch music, you mean skip tracks. If so, you actually can: it's double click of the play/pause button but your timing has to be dead on (a slow full press then an additional click) which is not ideal but easy to get used to once you discover it. You can adjust the timing and functionality using this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset&hl=en

I'm not sure if he's asking about changing music with the headset controller or the note's volume button (when the headset doesn't have a controller).
Is there an app for the 2nd option?

Headphones to switch songs with custom rom

I just recently switched from an iPhone 5 to an Sprint HTC One and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.2 onto it, the headphones work to switch songs but they do not work to turn the volume up or down. I have tried long presses on it, I am using the Apple Earpods, I am willing to switch headphones if some work for volume + and volume -. Also does anyone know any other custom roms besides CM that work with song switching, anyone that has viperrom or any other custom rom that can tell me? I have tried the apps like Headset Controller and JAYS on the stock rom and they did not work as well as CM did, any advice is appreciated thanks!
There's a setting in there somewhere. I forget exactly. On PACROM, it's under lockscreen settings. Check around, you should find it.

I found settings for long press back button and long press home button but not for headset options, and those two options do not increase or decrease volume. Thanks though.

Long press keys to change tracks

Hello community I'm looking for an xposed module (or another way if possible) to be able to change music tracks by long pressing the volume keys. I know this is an option in many custom ROMs and is something I am quite accustomed to from my previous device. Any and all help is appreciated
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, there is a module named gravity box that can change tracks by pressing volume buttons
Awesome, thanks
