Hey all,
I have a question which is bugging me... whenever I play music in the background on win8 (in metro apps ofcourse) how do I invoke that volume control/track control UI?
The post on the MS blog says simply by pressing vol +/- buttons, but here comes the catch: the volume buttons on my laptop are friend
Anybody any idea? I tried WIN + I and than tapping the volume icon but this did not work either...

Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?
Cheers
Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!
any clues?
What is it that you want to do?
If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...
OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?
probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.
You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).
Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?
I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!
Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?
Vijay?
Anyone??????
with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").
Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.
However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.
To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.
I use the following mortscript:
Code:
MouseClick 160,0
Sleep 100
MouseClick 160,200
In portrait QVGA.
There's a neater way with VJKeyPress as well, but I can't remember the settings right now
If necessary it'll be easy to turn this into a seperate app.

That would be v. nice! would it be possible to make it landscape aware too?
(i'm to much of a thicky for mortscript..... )
Hey guy, I've an idea.
After using SE walkman phone for years, I have some experience using it so easy to play music because of the volume key.
Now I want to map the vol key in my Xperia X1 to us it like walkman phone but I don't know how to do it.
It's like this:
-The key still active even the phone is in keylock or standby mode.
-Press up/down once to tune the system volume.
-Press and hold up/down equal to next/previous of the navigation key.
Mapping the the vol key like this make more easy to change tracks and volume while X1 is in the pocket.
This is just some idea.
very nice idea
Would not be a big job with AEBPlus in combination with MortScript. Of course depending on what Player you are using...
I only fear that it won't be possible to send the dvice to standby and still have this funktionality...
this is what i expected of the x1 before buying it, because even non-walkman phones SE have this feature, it would be great to know if this function is possible on th x1??
I think it might be possible because I've found out that Pocket Music 5.0 can mapped some key in the background use.

Thanks for this idea, i have now got a similar app called pocketplayer 4 it allows HW button mapping (However NOT the vol up/down, x panel, pick up/put down call, and camera buttons.....ONLY the d-pad and softkeys can be mapped), also the the app allows a button for sleep mode and and timed sleep mode option... so the music can be controlled with the screen off in you pocket

This would be nice, I loved the way my old Walkman phone works. Simply skip a song or turn the music up.
If someone can map the X1buttons to do this I'm very happy. The X1 now as a mp3-player sucks.
Hi guys, i've received my Xperia a couple of days ago, installed TomTom 7, Palringo Messenger and zsIRC.
I love it, i simply love it. But i have some problems with the usability which i believe you guys can help me iron out:
- If the Phone is put in Silentmode, the mp3 Players won't work, whether it is the Xperia Player Panel or MortPlayer... is there a workaround for this, or if not, is there a way to put silentmode on a hotkey, because it takes long to flip to the "Today" Page to put silentmode off...
- I tried MortPlayer because i found it hard to control the Xperia Panel Player with my finger while driving, but MortPlayer was kind of buggy, it changed the size to quater screen whenever i opened the keyboard and even without that bug i found it still too small since it didn't use the full resolution.
- Is there some kind kind of Alt+Tab like feature? I'd like to switch between tomtom and the mp3 player while driving and that would need some kind of quick window change button, is there a way of achieving that?
I don't have installed the original wm6.1 volume controle, but i think there are 2 bars and one of them for the system volume. I think it was the left one. Put the volume up and you should be able to hear sth. with the player.
EDIT: The Volume controle pops up when you press the volume down or up button
You can easily adjust volume and between modes normal, vibrate and silent with the volume up/down keys. Keep pushing vol down and you'll get to silent mode. Push vol up and you'll get back to normal mode through vibrate mode.
well, thats solved, but i still need something to change the programs while i'm driving, like a possibility to lay something like alt+tab on the ok button, for example.
Try AE Button Plus. You can set a button (single, double, triple or long press) for i.e. task manager (pretty neat aebp's own), alt+tab or switch to next application.
Hi
in manila setting tab, i separate ring volume ang sysyem volume. (like original state of WM or like diamond TF3d and ... )
yhe problem is that , when i want to change the volume, by pressing key, ring volume tab apears. and i must press system tab (from top) and then change volume.
is it possible that when i press volume key, the system volume tab apear directly.
tnx
Hi, I had the same issue. Actually I partially solved it by using a software called AE Button Plus to remap every physical button, including the volume ones. Actually, I "reassign" volume keys to control volume and allowed them to control the SYSTEM volume directly, not using that annoying grey window.

Hi,
I was wondering if the touch HD can be adjusted so that the volume buttons can be used during music playback (with screen truned off)to change tracks up or down depending on which button is pressed for some seconds?
You know like it does with the volume(where screen is off yet buttons functionality is available)
itll save time having to take the phone out of your pocket everytime...
I personally use AEButton Plus. With this program you can reassign all buttons with new Commands.
The config is:
Volume Up
One Press - Up (Last Title)
Double Press - Volume Up
Volume Down
One Press - Down (Next Title)
Double Press - Volume Down

Try the Core Player. It has this feature built-in that you can assign any function to any button. Also some ROMs are tweaked to skip tracks with volume buttons when screen is off (like Laurentius26's V4) with HTC Sense's player.
im not that keen on downloading unofficial roms anymore but ill give core player a try
Thanks
