New Music features in arc - Xperia Arc General

Hey guys, i don know if many noticed this or not, after the update to 2.3.3, I can now control the music playback with the help of the headset that comes with the piece.
At first it could only pause or play the music with the click of the button but now the following are possible
press 2 times continuously and it will go to the next track
press 3 times continuously and it will go to the previous track
Now if they could only add a shuffle and repeat standalone buttons on the screen, the music player will be near perfect.

Great find thanks!

I think this was there before 2.3.3?

i personally checked it while running on 2.3.2 and i checked it on my friend's mobile who is running it on 2.3.2 and i can vouch that it was not there in the previous version.

hmmm cool...

Very nice, but my main problem is the continuous repeat without the ability to disable it.

i think u just have to set the shuffle on first? and then when you press twice and it will be on shuffle already=)

In FM radio, press 2 times continuously and it will go to the next chanel

The Music of my HTC touch HD stop by itself....

Hello,
I got a problem, I don't know why but the music of my htc touch hd stop by itself after 30 ~ 40 sec....
It just stop ....
Does anyone know why ?
thank you very much.

Same for me
I have the same problem. My Touch HD also stops about after the same amount of time. I think its when the phone "shuts off" goes into hibernation mode which it does after 30-60 secs.
But sometimes when i press the homekey and lock the screen it doesnt do it. But if i lock the screen right after i pressed play in coreplayer it happends. And the only way to start it again is to unlock the screen. Anyone know why??
I took another MP3 player and abandonned TF3D music player.
It work well with others...
Hi, i used to have the same problem.
I go to the home screen, hold 'end call' to lock the device then the power button.
I dont know if it will solve it but it works for me all the time.

Disable sleep mode...or put your headset in audio out jack, so you can turn your screen off

What do you mean? My headset is in the audio out jack. WHen i want to listen to music i put my headphones in, and start coreplayer and the music. Then i press the off button to lock the device with pocketshield. But then the music stops when it goes to sleep
I've got the same problem, sound cuts out after minute or so. Doesn't matter which player I use.
Anyone found a solution, it's driving me nuts.
The solution :
New Hard SPL
Flashing your ROM with somes there...
New Rom Radio

Thanks for the response. What does New Hard SPL mean?
Same issue here, only when no headphones are connected though.
I am running latest HSPL and Rimi ROM 6.5 (latest). I also flashed a new radio (which works great BTW).
If I go to the default media player, play some music (or choose play all on home screen for that matter) and press the top off key to lock device then music stops straight away.
When I unlock the device I have to press play again to continue playing music.
The only way I have to lock the device and have music playing is go to program and choose lock (software lock then).
I tried going back to home screen before pressing the lock button, same thing.
Is this normal behaviour as in it should only allow music playing and screen lock when headphones are in?

If you open the “start” menu in the upper bar (while listening to the music) find the lock button and and lock the phone, does it stop playing? It should continue.
I seldom lock the phone, but I’ve just tried to see if it works and right now I’m listening to MP3’s and looking at locked screen… Well, it seems I can not use the volume buttons now it is locked, have to unlock it first… OK, this is inconvenient for me as I listen to the music only at work or at home, but I suppose you want to listen to the music while you are outside.

Actually you can use volume keys while device is locked or screen off. Just use this little app
I found a thing that when you are listening to music with your headphones plugged in and lock the device it gets locked.
But if you play it on the speaker and lock the device then it doesn't.
any solutions to it?
And my devices' volume control works even after i lock the device( only with headphones plugged in) and I didnt even install any extra file. It was pre-built.

Coreplayer and HBH-IS800 bluetooth cuts out

I found while running MP3's with coreplayer while using the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 bluetooth headset, that the sound would play for about 5 seconds then cut out for about 5 seconds constantly.
I then realised it was as soon as I hit the "power" "sleep" button.
So to fix the problem I hit the power button then hit it again so the screen shows the screen lock page. Then put it in my pocket and it goes to sleep by itself but plays the music perfectly.
Not 100% sure why this is but thought I would share it!
This is happening to me with my HBH-IS800 as well. The audio keeps cutting out. I'll try your method and see if that works.
Are you able to control the volume of the IS800 outside of Coreplayer? Are you able to use the system volume or the volume in a player like Windows Media Player to control the volume? I'm unable to and it's really frustrating.

This also works for the wired headset/earphones... even with the "dont stop playing when screen off" fix it still cut out... but following this easy little step it worked...
I can't control the volume outside of coreplayer really annoying!

Is there such a customizing tool for music player?

I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?
that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.
I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.

Is there a easy way to improve MP3 experience?

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
Thread moved
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.....
