Guys - ever since switching to my S4 I can get this to work.
I use PowerAmp and am on stock, rooted.
Id like to be able to skip songs (while driving) without having to see the screen.
I used to be able to do this on my Skyrocket and Custom Rom with the Volume Up/Down buttons or by shaking.
I havent managed to get either to work on my new setup. Any advice on whether/how I can achieve this?
Thanks.

I think you have to double tap the play/pause button. That is how you do it with most of the players including the stock one and Rocket Player

Search for Xposed framework and install that, then install the Wanam Xposed module from the Play Store. The option is in the sound category

Hi,
I have had this great phone for a week and used the plentiful advice on xda to get it working exactly as I want... almost.
I can't seem to find any information or settings on how to enable the volume buttons when my phone is locked. This would be very useful as I tend to lock the phone when it's in my pocket and it's a pain when walking to have to get it out, unlock it and enter my passcode just to make it louder or quieter by a few notches.
Also, is it possible to make the hardware buttons increase or decrease in smaller increments - it's jumping up or down by three at a time (single increments would be preferred)?
Thanks
+1 on Tmo US version
Is there really no way to do this? Seems like the kind of thing one should be able to change in the registry...
Changing volume in the pocket is a habit I've been using with music players since I had my first walkman in 1982!
i use miri roms for months now and i've noticed some time ago that volume buttons work even when my phone is locked and although the increment value for system and ring volume vary from rom to rom, i've noticed that when listening to music the increment is +/- 1.
i just verified so that i'm sure what i'm talking about and here's more specific data:
i'm with latest miri rom 6.5.X V.15.2 and radio 2.09.50.29
volume buttons work when phone is locked
volume increment is 3 for system and ringtone volume
volume increment is 1 for music player
i use the build in HTC music tab player so i don't know about other players though...
if you need info on some other player just tell me which one and i'll test it for you.

Volume buttons should work without unlocking the phone with all ROMs when listening to music. Unless the chef specifically took the functionality out.
Thanks for the replies guys, I've not logged on for a while! I'm using an old version of CorePlayer rather than the built in one (much better EQ settings - can actually get the phone to sound okay). I'd assume that the player being used should have no bearing on the phone volume (apart from maybe the increments). Maybe I'll give the miri ROM a go. Just using my standard Vodafone ROM with a few tweaks (including Cookies Home Tab).
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

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

Hey Guys,
I have a quick question about headset button controls.
Back in 4.2 I was able to start and stop music with a single click of the button, skip tracks by double clicking, and voice search with a hold of the button. All with the screen off.
After going to 4.2.2 I seem to have lost all functionality except for the single click pause/play.
I thought maybe it was a stock android thing, so I tried a few roms and still, nothing. My next thought was it was a hardware thing, so I tried the same test on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2 and still... nothing (although when the screen is on all the functionality is there)
Is this a known bug? I really want my functionality back as it's very helpful when I bike, I've tried apps like jays headset or whatever and they are just cumbersome and lame, so I'm curious if there's a way to bring this back?
I'm running the latest PA (4.2.2 obviously) with single button skullcandy earphones and the Jays headset control app and I can do a double tap to skip song and triple tap to go back as well as the standard play/pause functionality so I'd recommend reinstalling the Jays app and messing around with some of the settings to try to get it to work. One thing I do know (and it's absolutely ridiculous) is that you can no longer press and hold to perform any functions which just seems quite odd to me.
Hello,
I would really like to use a Nougat rom on a daily basis, but this is impossible for me because of a thing that may sound really simple - the headphones control button doesn't work on any custom rom that is not stock based(so any AOSP etc.). This is essential for me as I am cycling A LOT and I need this stupid button to receive/end calls and play/pause music.
The only way I can make it work on custom roms is by installing Xposed Additions - but it only works up to Android 6.0.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Your help will be greatly appreciated!

I have a mi headphones pro and they are working absolutely well. The volume up and low buttons work while the middle button on pressing once plays/pauses songs, double pressing plays next song and triple pressing players previous song.
I am on LOS.
