Volume Stepping and Skip track option - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Looking for 2 things.
1) the ability to skip and rewind tracks by long pressing the volume buttons when the screen is off
2) Increase the volume stepping from 15 to something more like 50
I have an S8+ Exynos, rooted phone. I've tried apps from the app store and none will work for me

Can I change the sound volume by smaller increment?

Hi,
When I press the volume rocker, the volume increased by a large percentage each time I press it.
I realise that some music players have the ability to change the volume by smaller increment, but wonder if there is a cab file somewhere that enables this capability system wide. Or is there a hidden tweaks somewhere?
I like the cool music player in TF3D and do not wish to use a third party software to play music.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
i hope to change lesser too
yes i remember coming across some 3rd party applications that can tweak the volume, but i honestly forgot where.... if i find anything i will get back to you.
meanwhile, after prompting the volume menu by pressing the rocker buttons, you can select a smaller increment in sound level, by simply taping of the meter using the stylus.
volume increments
I thought super, i can adjust volume lower! Not, mine moves the same by tapping or using rocker.? unless I'm doing something wrong? Help
This is a really annoying issue... Luckily, you can adjust the volume in smaller increments using the buttons whenever the screen is turned off!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you found the cab yet?
When the sound volume screen appear, how do you adjust by a smaller increment? I thought whether you use the volume rocker or the screen the degree of change is exactly the same?

The music only keeps playing when headphones are plugged in! (Atleast it should... if it doesn't, what ROM are you using?)
i'm sorry couldn't find the cab, ur best bet is changing the volume from within a music player, i hear corplayer is good....
on my device i tap the volume bar using the stylus and that gives me the smaller increments in sound level.
Try tapping the screen instead of using the pysical buttons on the side. You can change the volume by one bar instead of the 4/5 bars everytime you press the button.

Volume buttons dont work right without single volume control

I've noticed that the volume buttons don't control the volume right when turning off the single volume control settings in the sound tab. I like this, so the RING volume isn't necesarilly the same as the SYSTEM volume. Switching to the two separate volume levels gives unwanted behaviour in sound level as well as functionality of the volume control buttons, using the Audio tab or during a call. To be more precise:
- when listening to an mp3 on the audio tab, and the screen is off, I can press the vol up/down button, but nothing really happens unless I keep pressing down untill I hit 'silent' mode - and voila presto, the music is gone. Hit vol up once, and it is back at the sound level is was, regardless of how many times I press vol up. If I turn the screen back on, vol up/down work as they should (although I have better control on the screen itself);
- when answering or making a call, volume is at max loudness, regardless of the settings I chose beforehand. Pressing vol down shows it at min loudness on the screen, and therefor doesn't do anything - untill I touch the screen to adjust the volume, and then it suddenly is possible to use a lower setting. Weird and annoying too.
So I'm back to the single volume control untill HTC fixes this.

Mp3 control using the volume buttons

Hi,
Please shoot me down if this has been requested before but I can't find anything using the search.
Does anyone know of a way that the volume buttons can be used to skip tracks?
Ideally it would work the same way it did on my oldblackberry, so holding down the up volume key skips to the next track and holding down the volume down key would play the previous track, but tapping the buttons would increase and decrease the volume?
It's a bugger having to take the device out of my pocket, unlock then skip a track each time.
Cheers
This volume control allows to remap the volume keys. Not sure if "next track" command but may work with UP/DOWN navigation commands.

Switch songs with volume buttons

Its any way to switch the song with the volume buttons???
I try different play store apps and they dont do anything, also the option in poweramp settings to pass to next song presing vol+ and doesnt work.
I've been searching for the same thing ever since I bought the OP5. I switched to a LOS rom only for this reason but the lack of stock camera and some lag in performance made me revert to OOS. I've tried Frinky and couple of other apps but they aren't a workaround.
The <> gestures on the OP5 lock screen are horrendous.
Use the play/pause button
Use the play/pause button on your headset. Two push to next, three to previous song.
These are the standard OOS methods, no option for the volume keys on phone, don't know why.

3 button headphone remotes,vol+ skip fwd ,vol- skip bck,no root,is it possible

Is there a way to double tap the + and - buttons on a 3 button headphone remote for ski[p track forward and skip track back
without root? or even with root?
I have tried 3 apps already and none of them even recognize a single press of either button
6p stock N
For changes like that at least root is needed I imagine. I use to love that feature on the phone having volume buttons to skip tracks while in my pocket at work. Some of the custom ROMs have it baked in. Don't think possible remote or headphones.
