I come from using many other mp3 players in the past, and I got a G1 to be my "be all" piece of hardware. One area that I feel the phone is lacking is in the music department.
I was wondering if a developer could create some sort of app that allows for track switching from the lock screen.
Or better yet, when I had my Blackberry I was able to hold the volume up button and that would switch to the next track while holding down on the volume rocker would go to the previous track. Just clicking the volume rocker would still adjust volume. Is there any way to implement this into the G1?

There's probably some way to do all you describe above, but Android 1.5 supports AVRCP. If your BT headphones have playback controls they will work fine with G1 whenever music is playing, regardless of whether the screen is locked.
I believe Hero has some controls while in the lockscreen, forgive me if I'm mistaken. I just came off of it, reliability was too big of a trade off.
Double press the button on your headset/3.5mm headphone cable.

Hi,
When using the youtube app the volume rocker acts as rewind/fast forward and doesnt change the volume. This is really annoying. Is there any way to change this as I dont want to go into a youtube video, assess the volume of the vid, come out of it and then set the handset volume accordingly.
Secondly, is there a way to enable the notification LED to blink when email is received to the handset? Looked in settings but the option to enable it is greyed out...
Seconded on the YouTube thing. What were they thinking? Any tips?
Indeed.... can't really tell you how much I didnt enjoy loading up a gaga video only to have my ears DESTROYED by beyonce's wailing as she was in the song too
I had the first problem for a while too, here's how I fixed it:
-Download, install and start AEButton
-Disable the volume rocker buttons
-Re-enable them
-AEButton will now tell you that it'll restart the device, let it do so
-Fixed
I don't have HD2 yet, but the HTC volume control should have a custom setting for the Youtube app in order for it to work properly. On other HTC devices, it's under HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\YouTube and should be HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\HTCYOUTUBE. Do you guys have these keys? If not, you can try to create them and value under them, ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE and Enable2ndOverlay=0 respectively. Also, you could try to go to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass, create a key there (name it anything, could be YouTube), and ClassName=HTCYOUTUBE under it. The latter hack allows to have the youtube-style volume control in any application (I use it for CorePlayer, for example).
Hope this will work...
Sigh, just found out that when playing a song under the music tab - and you use the volume rocker, surprise surprise it doesnt actually control the volume at all! It controls the track listings.
Bah! This is a STUPID idea, a shame really!!
WHAT??? Volume rocker doesn't control volume during playback? And how are we supposed to do it?
Correct. Unless it's just mine, but I doubt it?
How to control volume you ask? Well that's simple.
You come OUT of the music application and then adjust the volume, and then go back INTO the application..... Logical.
That's a damn stupid design decision. Beside the inconvenience, music player doesn't need to have the same volume level as the rest of the phone! On my HD I have maximum volume for system/ringer, whereas my music player is set to like 20%. When I plug the headphones in and start it, it's set automatically to this level - otherwise I'd be deaf by now.
And does this happen both with the headset plugged in and without it? Again, on Touch HD you can adjust volume even when the device is turned off while music is playing.
So could anyone check the registry keys I mentioned earlier? Hopefully, it's just a missing setting...
Just read my post again on how to fix it, and no, it's not a design decision, it used to just control the volume for me, it only started controlling playback once I used the mediacontrols on the headset.

Volume Rocker
The Volume rocker works perfectly for me in both YouTube & Music player.
volume keys work for volume in both youtube and music for me..
is there anything you've installed that could interfere?
Hi Fards, great to see you in this thread. You were a valuable asset at ironing out bugs & probs when I was using Itjes Xperia ROM's. I'm sure you will be here too.

Now that just makes it a whole lot worse. I had nothing installed when I tested YouTube originally. Volume controls control cue/reverse. Does that mean unit defective?

Maybe different rom?

Possibly. Though its a stock rom sim-free unit. Even if its just a software bug or a rom issue, average Joe (or Josephine) shouldn't have to go hacking the registry, or what not, to fix it. Imagine trying to explain that convoluted series of (potentially disastrous) steps just to make your bloody volume button WORK...
Different roms should not justify this oddity.

Indeed, it would appear it is a problem with the headset, damn bizarre.
This is what happened with me anyway...
Listened to music with the headset in and then the volume controls control the track playback, not the volume, whilst you are IN the application. As soon as you come out then yea that's fine it controls the volume again.
When you disconnect the headset, the settings don't seem to revert and once you go back into the music application, the volume rocker still controls the damn playback not the volume......
.... actually i don't know. From using my headset yesterday I've just tried adjusting volume in the music app now this morning and the volume rocker isnt doing ANYTHING when in the music application....

Resetting seems to solve the problem, don't know when the problem will re-occur though. To be honest, I don't know how to alter registries and things like that!
oh this is ridiculous there HAS to be a way to fix this.. i dont ever want these to do anything OTHER than volume.
OR have a volume control on the inline
at the moment i have skip controls on the headphones AND skip controls on the side of the phone!
Hi gurus,
I would like to be able to change volume when screen is turned off. Do you have a tweak?
Many thanks in advance
This is true, it gets REALLY annoying especially when I'm listening to music and can't adjust the volume with the screen off. Would love to see this problem fixed, especially since it was alleged that the HTC stock earphones had "volume control capabilities" (sigh....).
Had to resort to choosing between a HTC earphone with "forward", "backward", "call answer" capabilities, or a normal (and much better sound quality) earphone with volume control.
Tough choice eh? So yeah, I'm just typing this to bump this thread up, hopefully this would get fixed soon!!!
I use the HTC Music Player and the volume controls work for me on the side of the phone. Not sure what player you may be using, but I like to use the hardware supported software for reasons like these.

I was going to type much the same thing earlier, but got sidetracked.
Volume works fine for me in standby.

Wooohoo!! Thanks!
p/s: Another question, would u guys have any idea how to reduce the volume bar increments from 3 bars to 1 bar? I know this can be done by adjusting the on screen volume bar via touching it. But using the volume rocker with the screen off while listening to music doesn't actually help, does it? It either gets too loud or too soft when I click on the volume rocker.
Is there any way of doing this without having to use the HTC player?
I have a preference for a different player (pocket player) but wish I didn't have to turn on the screen to access the volume controls.

I really don't want to put custom ROM's on this phone or anything like that, but the main thing I miss is being able to control the music via the volume buttons, such as holding the volume up button to go to the next song, or holding the volume button to go back, while the phone is locked. I've looked around for a long time now and not sure if the mod is just freely available and whether I need a specific one for the Nexus 4.

Use poweramp app from the play store.
I also love this feature, and i found it in the "fusion" music player, It's free on google play!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYXZhLm11c2ljIl0.
Yeah neither of these apps really do it. Mostly looking for something that will change the music forward if I hold the volume up button and backwards if i hold the volume down button. I've searched around for this a lot more and I mostly found a few mods that were phone specific, and a lot of ROM's that had this feature baked into it.
Anyone know how to get this mod specifically onto here?
Also interested in this! When using my higher-quality IEMs without inline controls, not being able to skip without pulling out the phone is killer!
Anyone have this figured out yet? I use my phone as my car radio and I really miss this feature as well.
I am just using the default Samsung music app, so maybe a simple player switch will suffice...
I am coming from a iPhone 5. One thing the iPhone does very well is play music. There are a copy of issues with my S4 in this regard that are driving me crazy, I am hoping you guys can help me resolve them:
1. Volume rocker on headphones does not control music volume. As far as I can tell the volume rocker just doesnt do anything at all. Is there a way to make this control music / voice levels? Very annoying having to fish for the phone to actually move the volume rocker.
2. Previous doesnt work. On the iPhone you can triple click the button on the headset to either restart the current song or go back to the previous song that was playing before. I used this quite often as i sometimes like to Binge on a particular soundtrack. This does not seem to work currently, triple pressing the button simply goes to the next song (double tap) and then pauses (single tap).
Loving the S4 so far, I definitely hope the above is something that is possible to fix though. Thanks a lot guys!
Try google play music? The volume thing worked on my s3 however I've yet to test ion s4... Also i use poweramp
sgh-i747(d2att)(sgs3) on latest cm10.1 or ultimatum
my headphones work on the s4 so far... volume and pause/skip tracks also works. single tap button to pause, double tap to skip etc. maybe u got a faulty headset?
Yeah sounds like a faulty headset...mine works

Or push it further in maybe? It seems to be hard at first to press in the headphone all the way... loosen up over time
Questions go in Q&A

Which headphones are using? Some headphones dont work well with android os ....for example...volume rocker wont work on some beats headphones ....you can download an app on the market that can help somewhat.....

Hi! Is skipping music tracks with the volume button available in Nougat?
While I love the idea of trying out Nougat on my S7 Edge, the one feature that I CANNOT live without is the Physical Button Music Control - ie skip music tracks with a long press of the volume button (why oh why, Samsung, in 2017 is this not a default feature? It forces me to have to take my phone out of my pocket every time I want to skip a track. Not cool...but that's a topic for another day).
To achieve this in Marshmallow (6.0.1), I use the Physical Button Music Control module for the Xposed framework. This works flawlessly.
Here's my question - is this function available in Nougat? I know Xposed probably isn't and maybe won't be for a long time. If so, and if there's no native functionality to do this, then I'll stay on 6.0.1 for now. I've tried 3rd party apps on from the Play store and none seem to work as well as the Xposed one.
I've been using this feature since my S2 custom rom days. I still can't believe it's not a standard feature. Yes, there are physical buttons on the included headphones, but they're no match for my Grados, so don't even offer a different headphone as a solution to this!
Thanks in advance!!
i miss this too.i have learned that, when using the headphone, if i double press the play/pause button, it skips to next track...
its no a full control, but it is something =D
That's great that you've got that work around. But I don't use headphones that have inline controls. I find it hard to believe that people just accept that they have to take their phone out and skip tracks that way if they don't have inline controls.
I wonder what the percentage is for people who operate this way?
The long volume press is such an elegant solution to skipping tracks. I'm surprised it isn't a standard adopted by Google in general. Maybe I'm missing something. If you're a person who doesn't have an inline remote, please tell me how you cope.
