One of the things I loved about my S3 when it was rooted was being able to change tracks with the volume keys when the screen was off. Is there a music app that gives this functionality to the S5? Or possibly a setting somewhere I missed? It's a little thing but comes in handy.

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!

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.

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 ....

Hi Xda fans
I recently Purchased the G900W8 and Ive run into the following issue.
I don't have any music on my phone and there aren't any videos yet either, but still the Music player shortcut controls keep coming up on my lock screen. at random times multiple times a day (without opening the Music player app) the music controls will come up on the lock screen even tho there is nothing to play. When i open my Task Manager/ Active applications tab its all clear and even when i clear my recent apps tab the controls will still be on my lock screen.
The only way i can get rid of the controls on the lock screen is by opening the Music Player app then going and going and clearing the recent apps and forcing the app to close.
Then the Controls will be gone from my lock screen, for about an hour or so.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Have you used the phone in water at all? I read another thread where a wet headphone jack was auto starting the music player.
Tapped it!
Hi there! I'm new to this phone, coming recently from an old Galaxy S3. So far I'm loving this version of android over the bloat that Samsung had me with before. One thing I do really miss though, is the separate lines for volume. On the S3 if I adjusted the volume it let me manually adjust it for media/ringtone etc. This one only has one slider.
If I have my phone set to vibrate with the ringer off but then open a video or a game, it jumps to whatever volume I last used in a video or a game. Anyone know a workaround for this? I didn't see anything hiding in the settings regarding this.
hi guys like the titles says i cant seem to find a way to skip a track forward or backward with the screen locked. i know there is options for this in various apps, ive tried them. (poweramp, rocketplayer) i have even tried downloading third party apps claiming to be able to do just this but none of them work. Its almost as if once the phone is locked none of these apps can override the stock default volume up or down.
Phone is rooted with twrp installed, and busybox if that helps.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: Tested this on both wired (earbuds) and bluetooth (car headunit) no go either way.
You can only skip songs by dubble tap the play/pause button, sadly backwards is not possible.
actually you can set that in the app either to one press, two press or long press all of which do not work.
So we've given up here? The S7 lacks this essential feature entirely?
I haven't updated to Nougat yet mainly because of Xposed. I'm an avid music listener, and love the feature of GravityBox that when the screen is off, long pressing volume buttons changes songs.
I know some custom roms offer this but I don't want to sacrifice speaker quality in exchange for this.
Anybody know of a way to make this happen on stock Nougat?
I use only Poweramp and Spotify for music

I am in your situation...I used PBMC Xposed module for that but now that I don't have Xposed I don't know how to skip songs without having to turn on the screen.
I don't understand why not all roms implement this feature...
