Is there any way to remove the music controls from the screen lock? I would like to use my MTS while working out or mowing the lawn (keeping it in an arm band holder) but I end up pausing the music or changing songs if the power button gets hit.
Apparently the MTS is one of the only phones to offer this feature. I guess I'm from the old school but when I lock my phone I don't want to be able to do anything to it but unlock it (or answer it if it rings). Any ideas?
try another music pgrom from the market

I believe it can be downloaded via android market
Such a simple solution. And here I thought I might have to do something complicated like rework the slide-unlock screen. I'm a mongo.
Thanks for the replies.
Doubletwist and NWSPlayer, both work well as replacements for the built in media player.

Well, I have a nice new epic 4g. Unfortunately the Sprint service has been turned off.
Anyone have any ideas of what one can do with this device? Am I stuck with a Camera? Is it possible to use it as just a wifi phone using google voice? I know that I need to be near a hotspot, that is fine. I am just wondering what options I have without reactivateing it with sprint.
Is it possible to program a GSM chip so it works with a different carrier?
Just asking...
The epic doesn't have gsm.
no i know. just trying to figure out what to do with it, besides a camera. yah know?
camera/music player ?
You can flash it to cricket or metro pcs or if the esn on it is clean you can sell it on craigslist/ebay for a nice chunk of change

do you have a HTPC? if you do you could use it for a remote with XBMC.
I use my epic in my car all the time to play music
Thanks for all the ideas. HTPC I assume is a Home Theater PC and use it as a remote?
Chunk of change? Like what?
Thanks again all!

Does anyone know if there is a way that the volume can be changed on the SGS i9000 without the screen turning on?
I have checked the settings of both Android and Winamp but found no option.
Also, an Internet search using Google and searching the XDA did not return a result...
I also find this annoying. I use the MIUI player

Thanks for the quick reply and information; I will definitely check that out now.
You would think that this would be a feature included with Android; although, maybe a developper would be able to create a mod with this feature. *hint hint*
Can anyone comment if such a modification would even be possible?
PlayerPro supports volume up/down with the screen off. It also supports skip forward/back with the volume keys, by holding them down. (this behaviour can be turned off and/or reversed with volume as well).
It's the only music app I've found that does this, although I wish it did pause instead.
Cheers
What firmware are you on? I'm on Darky's 9.3 (2.2) and it does this with the default music player.

THANK YOU!!!
I am using the JVB firmware currently and, as you mentioned, the default music player actually does not turn the screen on when changing volume.
Hah! All this time and I never thought to use the default music player. Go figure...
So, seems as though I should send yet another request to Winamp development.
Wish me luck...
Alright, to finish this thread off I thought I would mention that I have been using Winamp since it was released and never looked back; so, my apologies for anyone that may have facepalmed while reading this...
Suprisingly the default music player is not that bad. Actually, I think that I may continue using it instead of Winamp until an equalizer has been implemented and the volume can be changed without causing the screen to turn on. Also, the music player has features in the notification area and Winamp does not.
Either way, thanka again to everyone that helped; it is greatly appreciated.

Voodoo sound seems to allow me to adjust all music apps with screen off.

Hi the problem with the screen that turns on when pressing the volume keys occurs when you have a non stock lockscreen like widgetlocker or winamp lockscreen controls above the stock lockscreen.
I think everyone reproduce this problem in sgs
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
use player pro and voodo sound (voodoo control plus)
its worked like a charm
I honestly would just use the default samsung music player. It has built in eq's, has lock screen player & has a funky 5.1 button for the hell of it. (although it's debatable if it changes the sound quality for the better or not)

You have helped me to find the root cause. THANK YOU IMMENSELY!!!
The issue is that; although I use the stock lockscreen, it was disabled using the Extended Controls application because I was at work and next to my phone the entire time...
Good catch and thanks again. I owe you a coffee, beer, or something; but, in the meantime, I will click your thanks button. That's just as good, right?!
I just updated my phone the new CM 7.1 RC1 and now when I play music with the head phone jack on every time the phone moves just a little the tracks skip/pause/misc stuff happens. Is there any way to disable this function it is really getting on my last nerves?
never mind second issue fixed after reboot. But still need help with music app issue. Thanks!

i was having the same problem.it woulf skip every 1minute or wen i unlocked. go the market and download "block headset" its a widget. this should solve ur problem it did for me
thanks that seemed to work for me.
So now that I installed a ICS based rom "block headset" does not seem to work any more. Anyone know how to kill it with Android 4 OS?
Bump anyone?!
what music app are you using? Have you attempted looking through settings to see if there's a "shake to change song" option?

I am using the built in Google music app, and no there is no option in it to turn it off.
Hey guys,
I just got my Fire and I love it (besides the fact that I feel like I have to sideload EVERYTHING). I installed the official Spotify app, and it ran alright aside from some screen formatting problems (the navigation buttons for the Fire get in the way). The main issue is that the Fire doesn't realize it's a music app for some reason and puts the wifi connection to sleep when the screen goes off so my music shuts off... Very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas for a fix for this. I thought about installing Spare Parts Plus, but I can't find it anywhere to sideload it and it's not in the stupid Kindle App store...
Anyone? I may return my Fire if I can't get this to work...It's THAT important to me that I can stream without the wifi turning off...
you might want to look into apps that keep wifi on since the settings page for wifi is gone in the Fire. I'm sure one of those must exist somewhere. If not it seems like a very trivial app to write. Some sort of wifi lock toggle.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiRuler&feature=also_installed
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mdsoftware.wifipowermanager&feature=also_installed
Try any of those apps, I'm pretty sure WiFi manager will be able to do whatever you need and more.
The screen formatting problems make it impossible for me to pause playing music without exiting the app - am I missing a way to do that?

It's silly, and really, really less-than-ideal, but using the spotify widget works for this. Toss in a volume control widget on the same screen, works great.
(This, of course, assumes you... have a normal launcher installed >.>)

Nice tip! Thanks. With ADW installed, being able to use a widget really is a life saver! The app is really crippled with the Kindle bar over the top. I hope they come up with a fix soon, but seeing as they don't officially support it, and Amazon probably won't allow it in the store, I won't hold my breath.
I can't get the buttons to show up correctly on the Spotify app itself. I can't tell if it's something to do with the tablet, or something to do with the fact that it's on a modified version of Android. I guess once the custom ROMs are out we'll know for sure.
Giving the numbers and spotify strategy, my guess is a fire friendly version is not far off..sound like we have a workaround for now.

Even if it *is* a silly workaround
I also told Amazon they should try to get it working properly, since, hey, I pay for Spotify, I'd like to use it on here.
Also, the music app that comes on it tends to be a bit... stuttery.
i have been having the same issues. Does anyone know if Spotify works on any tablets?
I use my phone a lot in the car (GPS, music and phone calls), so I always keep the original apk's files from the Nexus One Car Home handy. The app is still listed in the Play Store, but it won't install in newer devices.
Just install both files as regular apps, reboot and you are set to go. I always liked this app for its simplicity. Enjoy!
Also, I will recommend getting some NFC tags and Trigger (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher), so you can launch the app automatically in your car. Trigger is a very easy to use, but if you want more control, get Tasker instead.
I really like the look of it too, but it kept reopening after I closed the app.
Try wiping Dalvik and cache, this happened to me one time and that fixed the problem.
I hope thus helps.

Nice one thanks, don't like the speedo, compass rubbish all the other apps have and the only other solutions to get the proper one on needed root.
Hah, no way. Cool thanks for posting this. I might have to give this a go.
Like @b1g1an said, to get proper car dock mode (i.e. landscape on the home launcher) you gotta have root, that's why I made this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warner.carmode
but this Nexus One app is a nice optional solution.

Ultimate Rotation Control doesn't need root to rotate the home screen so might be worth a look how they do it, you'll get a lot more takers of yours if you can lose the root reliance.

Thanks for showing me this. Definitely worth noting this down.
When I use car mode I get the notification in the status bar which is fine but it also flashes the notification light which is useless and hides whether I have any "real" notifications.
Didn't have this issue on other phones I used it on previously. Any ideas how I can stop the light flashing just for this app?
