Silly question about the music player... - Galaxy S III General

How do I get back to my music player home screen from the now playing screen? The music player home screen being the screen where I can select music album/artist/song/playlists etc. When I'm at the now playing screen I click on the small music list icon on the bottom right which takes me to the last used screen, i.e the music album list or playlists. BUT, when I click the back arrow on the top left, it takes me back to the now playing screen?? How to I go back to the main music home menu?
The only way I've found is I have to click the options button then 'End', which closes the music player. Then it comes back. However I've not found a way to get to the home screen without closing the app
I think I might have just missed something. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.

In the playing now screen hit the back option (on the phone bottom right ) this takes you back to albums/artist etc option .

If you press the 'mood' button (furthest right just below the album art ) then you get a menu at the top with artist, album etc

Album and music player not able to "click and drag"

Anyone having the problem of not able to move to different sites of a zoomed picture in the album??
Meaning when i zoom in and i wan to look at other areas of the picture that is out of range of my screen, i cant "click n drag" to move to another site.
Also for the default music tab for tf3d under "all songs", i cannot tab on my screen and scroll down to see other songs. It kept getting stuck at the first few songs.
What ROM are you using (and is it stock)? when you try to do 'click and drag,' are you clicking and holding down on the screen? In order to pan elsewhere you must press and hold your finger to the screen until a rectangle appears in the upper left corner with another rectangle in it.
As for the TF3D music problem, never seen that, sorry.
OH!! So thats how u use the photo viewer! haha thx alot dude! But the music player problem remain unsolved. zzz. Im using htc's rom and not any 3rd party rom btw.
I haven't seen/heard of your TF3D music player error....but are you sure you're in All music and not playlist?
yeah im sure im in the playlist. Im tinking it might be a corruption from software installation. But so many wont know is which caused it.

I got that problem too. Scrolling on "all songs" tab is broken, I can only see the first eight tracks. 766 tracks total, official ROM 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE. Soft reset doesn't help. I didn't try hard reset.

Hardware mod?...

alright guy's and girls I am just wondering if anyone has come across any apps that allows the power button/lock button to be used for taking photos insted of using the stupid one on screen as it would be easyer and I am also wondering if the volume buttons can be used for zooming in and out?
and there is another thing that is up with the touch hd is when you scroll through your music and select the wrong album and when you click back it takes you to the top of the list insted of staying at the last album you was last at. Is there any apps or fixes to sort that problem out??
Thanks, Richard or Rick what ever floats you boat!

(Music Player) and (wallpaper) issues... kinda silly questions

i know these are going to be some silly questions, but i can find the answer anywhere :$
In the phone's default music player ( the music tab or howerver u call it ), if i press Library-> All songs i can see some songs being listed twice. That means that if i listen to one of these songs and i press next, the exact same song will play. I use the latest Windows Media Player to import the song into the phone, saving the songs into the storage card, and the MUSIC folder in the device path is empty. btw, is there a way to make the music continue playing after all the tracks are over? Its getting annoying having to chose the first track every time.
Also, i have this 480x800 picture that i want to set as wallpaper on the Home screen/tab. I press Menu (on the Home screen) -> Home Wallpaper -> Weather Wallpaper and i choose the picture. If i check the Home Screen again, the wallpaper *is* the one i chose but it looks zoomed in, making it look bad since u can see some blury pixels :S
can someone help with these?

(?) Control Music in Notification Area

Hey there
is there an app, a switch, a hack to have the music controls in the notification area? it'd be superb not having to leave apps if i want to skip a song
(if I could assign hard buttons like long pressing the volume rocker to skip a song, it's be even more great)
thanks a lot!
+1
i'd even be happy to have something similar to sense with controls on the lock screen
ja, the lock screen controls are a good start and I won't miss them, but having those kinda controls whilst surfing etc would be just grand
Would also like the music controls on the lock screen for Froyo. That would be sweet.
regards
Pav
For controls on the lock screen, try an alternative music player from the market by searching "Cubed", it's shown as a "3" in the market. Really great and fast.
Edit: On second thought, I'm not 100% sure it does have controls on lock screen have to verify!
Edit2: Ok, it does indeed have controls on Lock Screen.
yes, cubed has controls in the lockscreen
Thanks guys, just treid 3 cubed, good player but flaky when you tried and bring up the lock screen controls after sleep. Using OpenDesire v2.1
Cubed makes a "second" Lockscreen, this is not the best way.
I like the ³ but the lockscreen option is ....

Things you don't know about your HTC one

Just thought I would start a thread that could be useful about things you didn't know about your HTC one
I only found out tonight that if you swipe down your notification bar with 2 fingers it takes you straight to the shortcut tabs
That made me realise there are probably loads of features and gestures I don't know about?
Here is a list compiled from the thread...
1 : Swipe down with 2 fingers on notification bar takes you straight to shortcuts (Android 4.2 version only)
2 : If you scroll with 2 fingers in contacts, gallery, music, and many other apps, it scrolls much faster (using it in the contacts list goes through the alphabet, using it in the text converstaion list goes through dates of conversations)
3 : You can pinch zoom text-messages
4 : Double tap your Bluetooth button with camera active to remotely take a snap
5 : In camera, from the top swipe down and it'll switch from back to front camera and viceversa
6 : Tapping on the statusbar while in the app drawer or blinkfeed, music, people, and message app brings you straight up
7 : You don't have to pull up the lock or the time on the lock screen - swipe up anywhere to unlock your phone. Same goes for answering a call
8 : You can increase the volume on your tv via the volume rocker on your phone instead of the on screen buttons
9 : Quickly double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps list
10 : Three finger swipe from left to right on the homescreen brings you to share files menu
11 : You can adjust the brightness of the torch/flashlight with the volume rocker
12 : Hold down the power button and tap the home key to take a screenshot
13 : Holding the back button in the browser brings you to history
14 : In the photo gallery's edit>effects screen (under the magic wand icon), you can customise every preset by tapping and holding its thumbnail and dragging it to the "customise" bar that appears on the right. You can even start applying custom effects from scratch by doing this with the "no effects" thumbnail. You can then save the created preset
Also on that screen, pressing the 'A' button provides options go change the white balance of the picture (as you would normally pre-select in the camera app). A = 'as shot' but you can change it to cloudy, fluorescent, etc and also a couple of options the camera app doesn't have - shady and tungsten.
15 : If you have the camera app open and turn off the phone, the lockscreen will be inactive, meaning when you press the power button again you go straight back to the camera app, no need to unlock
16 : Select "Show Magnifier" in the Accessibility menu and you get a magnifying lens that pops up when you are editing text
17 : Long press home for google now (depending on setup sometimes home and up also takes you to google now)
18 : In Google play if you are listening to a song and have the album artwork up (the screen where you have your pause/play, next/previous track)
You can swipe right to left to skip the track it left to right to go to the previous track. There's a cool sliding in/out animation too.
The coolest feature though, is that you don't have to press back to get back to your library or playlist. You can swipe down from the songbtitle and your library of songs is waiting behind it.
19 : In the Stock Browser go to Menu>Settings>Labs to switch on "Quick Controls". Slide thumb from left or right edge to open quick controls and hide app and URL bars.
Also swipe across the keyboard to easily switch to the numbers and symbols pages!
20 : You can access HTC's hidden Self diagnostic tool by following steps:
Go to dialer,
Dial *#*#3424#*#*
You will enter HTC's self diagnostic tool
You can check if all the parts and sensors on your device is working.
21 : If you're watching tv and have the tv remote enabled and you're getting a call it automatically mutes the tv.
22 : There's a visualizer and karaoke player embedded in the HTC music app. Just click the musical note icon when playing a popular song that's on Gracenote. The app will automatically download lyrics and sync them to the song.
By default, this only works on Wi-Fi. This can be changed in Music settings.
23 : You can also set a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than for the homescreen by going to settings -> personalize -> lockscreen and then settings for the wallpaper lockscreen.
24 : Rotating your calculator to landscape provides scientific functions like sin cos and tan.
25 : if you leave the TV app open to your remote and you lock your phone...it unlocks right back Into the TV remote. I've also noticed it just turning itself on when I pick it up!
26 : There's a cool trick in the camera app.
If you touch to focus, and hold your finger there for about a second, it will activate Focus and Exposure lock, until you tap on another spot, which will turn it off again. It's a handy feature, especially when you want to recompose. (android 4.2 version only)

Not trying to rain on your parade but that is a Android feature introduced in 4.2.
You should go to settings and then display and you can now set the home key as the menu button when long pressing.
In the HTC keyboard settings, you can enable Swype and in advanced you can even set the swype colour.
Another one, if you scroll with 2 fingers in gallery, music, and many other apps, it scrolls much faster
Pretty known one.. In the browser menu, you can enable flash player
There are lots of fun features with zoe's after you've made them (comparable to GS4) like sequence shot, removing objects, and waaay more

Too bad you can only give one thanks per post
If you mix alcohol and water and put it in a sandwich bag and freeze it, it will make a handheld icepack which will help you keep your overclocked processor, battery, and hands cold while charging, gaming, and torrenting.

Don't know why you think your raining on my parade just saying didn't know you could use 2 fingers
Knew about the long press on the home key though

Also one more thing many have not realized yet. There is no file limit size when transferring files to the phone. No more FAT32 4GB file restrictions. That's the benefit of having ONLY MTP, but you lose out on faster transfers and universal USB Mass Storage support. You can fit a 20GB movie in if you want and if you have the space.

Didn't know that two finger pulldown.
On CM it's pulldown from the clock, I couldn't figure out how to do it with Sense.
This is great!

the two finger pulldown is an AOSP 4.2 built in feature, the CM implementation is an option to swipe from left or right edge, AOKP has it as well, this can be disabled and the 2 swipe feature functions as normal.

Now I know. Having used CM10.1 almost exclusively for the last year and change, I sort of forgot that it wasn't exactly the same as AOSP.
To add to this thread: I bet a lot of people don't know that USB Audio out is built in and switches on-demand. I can finally use my phone with my Fiio E7!

You can pinch zoom text-messages.
You can mute your phone when you turn it arround ( back to front)
Ringtone goes quieter when you take it out your pocket up to your ear.

Wow I really thought this thread was pointless, no offense op, but some of these tips are really useful! Thanks guys.
Maybe it should be posted here the aroma freeze fix:
I know some people have problems shutting down their phone when this happens
If aroma installer freezes on you do the following:
1. Hold device's light sensor up to a bright light source (any lamp will do)
2. Hold power button down until buttons on bottom begin to blink, keep holding and phone will turn off!

When booting into hboot it isn't necessary to hold both power and volume down
just power the device on and immediately hold the volume down and keep it held down until your in hboot
