Is there a way to skip audio tracks with screen off?
Perhaps with a volume button?
You would have to get a third-party player like Poweramp app
That sucks. So there's no way to skip Pandora or Pocket Casts without turning on the phone?
+1. This used to be a feature added to ROMs in the old OG Droid days. Anyone else?
With headphones that have buttons with the mic let yo change the song double pressing middle button excluded from the volume keys

I have a Tilt and I wanted to know if this is normal or if there is a fix.
When playing music the screen will not turn off and uses up batts pretty fast. It jumps to the most dim backligh setting but is still clearly on. Is this normal or is there a music player that doesn't cause this issue?
Forgive me if this has been posted. I did a bunch of searching but there was a lot of noise regarding music skips and glitches.
I assume you are talking about the built-in Windows Media Player. In the options you can assign a button to turn the display on/off. Hope this helps.
hi there. while using the built in media player i have found that i can actually press the power button momentarily and put the device to "sleep" while still running media player. it will jump a touch but then resume. if you are using bluetooth headphones you can still control volume, play/pause and skip track. this makes the battery last much longer.
found the toggle screen option. Thanks guys!
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 -.
Hi there
I got a real good time with Chimera Rom, it's amazing at its speed and responsivnes and battery life also. Only issue that I currently have with that rom is this:
When I'm playing music on headset or without it, with screen off, when I try to switch songs or increase/decrease volume, it seems to record to signals - one for PRESSING second one from LETTING button go. That's unbeareble annoying when it comes to changing music (2 tracks at time) or increasing volume.
I'm using poweramp, but problem is showing in any music players. Help please.
Any advice?

i have the same problem.
if i have the setting to skip tracks on ROM Control checked:
volume up single click : volume increases then tracks skips 1
volume up hold : track skips twice
same happens for volume down
if i dont have that feature checked in ROM control:
single click on volume up : volume increases about 4 steps
hold on volume up.. volume increases to max (which is normal)
same happens for volume down
i think there is a conflict with that ROM Control option and the settings for Skipping Tracks while screen is off on the Settings>Sound>tick Skip Tracks while screen is off. although im not sure if this is the case.
have you solved your problem?
Hi,
it's irritating that when using my XZ in the pocket and e.g. changing the played track with my MDR-R1BT button the screen is turned on :| That's a waste of energy ;|
To sum up:
Situation:
- headphones connected via BT
- music playing from Walkman app (same with PowerAmp)
Event:
- headphones play/pause,next,previous button trigger screen being woken
- phone volume buttons also wake the screen
Anyone has any ideas how to prevent this from happening?
Been using my BT headset for a month now, don't have any of these problems.
What happens when you use the walkman app?

Te music simply plays, however buttons trigger the screen being woken only this and as much as this...
When I have music streaming to my truck the volume is a little over half on the phone and when I turn it up it goes up the bounces right back. The first time I tried turning it up the box popped up saying the stuff about not using music too loud. Well I clicked the don't show again. Very frustrating. Notifications tones come threw loud
I am having this problem and when the screen is off the volume buttons don't skip tracks.
The largest of the two problems is the volume buttons won't skip tracks. I'm using poweramp
I use Spotify and I've never tried the volume rockers to change the track. I thought that was only a custom rom option
I haven't had this problem using Sync in my Mustang. Just had to accept the "loud stuff will hurt your ears" warning the one time.
