Hi everyone,
I've recently purchased my S5, and I love it. All is well, apart from one (yes, only one) small problem!
When I am using the stock video player, I cannot seem to bring up the play/pause/skip menu without having to either press the power button twice, or hold in the left softkey (which opens the menu too which isn't ideal).
Does anyone know a fix for this? When I had my S3 all you had to do to bring the controls up was tap the screen. This is doing my head in!

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.
Is there any way to do this because say if im listening to a song and i want to change it i always gotta turn on the screen in order to do so when i really dont need to.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Plug in your headphones
that doesnt work - it makes no differnece to the buttons
There's a way to modify that radio button on the stock headphone piece to do one command. It can be stop, forward, back, or whatever.
Can you please be more specific on how to change track using the button on the headset? also having the problem where screen turns on everytime I change track. GSplayer has this feature, but I prefer WMP
i dont use the original headphones - there must be a reg edit or something to allow the use of buttons with the screen off?

the easiest thing you can do is change the button config within WMP.
- Open WMP
- Go to view the player (not the library) by either playing a song or by hitting OK
- Hit Menu > Options > Buttons
- Scroll all the way down and select "Toggle Screen"
Now this is where you have to decide what button you want to use to turn the screen on and off, personally, I picked the center button (the optical joystick button) as my on and off screen, which is currently the Play/Pause button. For these instructions, I will use that button as the example.
- Hit the "Assing" button and hit the middle (optical joystick) button.
- Hit OK
Now you can turn the screen on/off (by hitting that button) while still being able to increase/decrease the player's volume, change tracks back or forward, and if you do a long press then you can fast forward or rewind the track.
Hope this is what you were looking for...
Hope this helps

awesome - thanks mate!
So I just flashed the Flagship rom and I noticed it came with this "clock" app which brings up a screen that closely resembles a lock screen but it has some buttons on the bottom instead. Does anyone know what this up is or what it does? If I press the menu button it says something about docking and how I cant use the audio button without docking it first. Can someone explain?
Thanks
That would be the stock android clock. The clock button allows you to add and edit alarms. The next button is slideshow. The music button brings up the default music app. The home button takes you to the home screen, it's meant for use with a dock.
Hope this helps!

I hid it one time while trying to watch a movie on MX Player, but I can't seem to replicate how I did it. Does anyone know how? This goes for all apps too
When an app asks for full screen a down arrow button appears in the bar, if you press it you can hit the bar, and to get it back long press power button to get menu and back buttons in the context menu.. (That goes for CM7)
Hey guys,
Yesterday I updated my Rom(rootbox) and it didn't went as smooth as I hoped. I had to reinstall my apps. After reinstalling MX Player I noticed the menu/settings button isn't shown on the topright. I can only see the refresh(sync) and the search button. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
EDIT: I fixed the menu button not showing by enabling the buttons overflow in ROM Control.
