hello,
i just wanted to ask, if there was a program that would re assign the hardware buttons (or just one) to make the music player pause while the screen lock is on? i get quite annoyed when walking around, or into market, listening to music, and then when i have to pay, i have pull my hd2 out, unlick the screen, scroll over the music app, and then hit pause... lock the screen again, and put it back in my pocket... just to do the same thing again as soon as im done paying.
i could take my headphones off (earbuds) but that is getting annoying really quickly too. i just thought if one you reassign the home button. or the call send button to play/pause the music player... and/or the others to skip tracks, without unlocking the screen. (similair to the volume rocker)
and, i once saw (or think i did) an app that would make the volume changing less dramatic, so it wasnt such a huge difference between one click up and one down... like 1db or something (or one bar i dunno)... because i would like to find a nice volume in the middle, but an stuck with: none, low, medium, or high.
any help woudl be greatly appreciated.
sorry if its the wrong section.
thanks!
yeah great idea!

When I listen to music with GS player with my HTC Touch the music stops by clicking on the button to turn off my screen.
There is an option in GS player to turn off the screen but I want to use the button on my phone.
is it possible to fix this? I found a solution however this only works for WMP.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:00000001
the problem is when you click the button you dont just turn off the screen
you suspend the whole device where only core functionality can operate
like nofications and clock and such
but ms made it possible to add wmp because
people dident uderstand that
most players have the option of blank screen which is what you were thinking that
clicking the power button did (which i explained it dident)
one often find the blank screen functionality where one map features for players to buttons
I've searched everywhere using all the keywords I can think of but not had any success yet.
In the old days I used to use S2P or Windows Media Player and if I was on battery the screen would dim or even go blank but music wuld continue to play and I could pause or skip tracks using the d-pad despite the device appearing to be off.
I'm now using TouchFlo3d for music playback. This turns the screen off but also stops the buttons from working. It means I need to turn it on before I can change tracks or anything. I tried a workaround so that any button would wake the device but it ended up calling people by mistake while it was in my pocket. Then I installed S2U2 but that means I have to slide accross the screen to change tracks as well as pressing buttons.
Does anyone know of a way to allow me to press buttons while music is playing without running the risk of dialling people by accident? Thanks.
I listen to music on my phone all the time and I really like how the stock music player responds to the headphone control. I'm using my old HTC headphones which have three buttons, and the default settings (actually there's no settings in the stock player for headphone control) is that the two buttons on the sides serve as volume button and the middle button serve as play/pause/next button. I love this because I don't need to reach in my pocket to change the volume or song and it kinda saves the hardware keys.
But I noticed a problem later: All three buttons work when the screen is on or just turned off (either manually or automatically), but the center button (play/pause/next) stops working after a while. The volume buttons are fine. I also noticed that if I double clicked to change the song, the music would just stop, but if I just turned on the screen, it started playing again (next song). So this is what I thought: the buttons sent the signal, the music player got it, but it couldn't do anything because the phone was "sleeping" after being turned off for a while.
Today I found this little app called "Headset Button Controller", which is basically a settings app for headphone control. It solved the problem perfectly! It probably works its way around the phone's power management. Idk. Here is the link to market: [damn I can't post it, you need to search it on your own] I'm on stock 2.3.5 and have used the stock Samsung headphones to re-show the problem and found out it's not my HTC headphones' fault. I believe there're more people in the same situation and thank god I finally find a way to solve it! Happy sharing!
Thanks would give this a try. Double click never work for me

Good find. I have run across more than a few with this issue

Is there a way to stop the "warning" that pops up every time mobile data is turned off? Example. It is very unnecessary and forces me to "click" an extra time to proceed (yes I am that lazy).
Additionally, is there a way to change songs with the volume keys when the screen is turned off? On my old HTC One X I could change the songs by holding down volume up or down (regular pressing would still change volume). I would like this option because I frequently play music through my phone while driving. I have tried Pocket Skip Track but it is buggy and does not always work. I have also tried using DoubleTwist but the option does not work at all. Is there an option in Touchwiz for this that I simply missed? Or is there an easy root fix?
Hi guys how's everybody. The Mate 30 Pro one of the phones that is in my list for my future flagship. It had most of the things I think a phone like that should have BUT they removed the damn volume buttons and it is a bit concerning for me. So I have some question...
1 - How easy is it to volume up and down? Does it fail a lot to recognize your double touch?
2 - Is there anybody like me that usually control the volume with the phone in the pocket? How is it for you to now remove the phone from your pocket all the time?
3 - is there a way to hide the volume panel?
Thanks for the attention guys
I expected it will be worse. You can change volume level on both sides of phones. Of course you can't do this in pocket, but... When you listening to music, you have control in headphone buttons, bluetooth headphones also allow control volume. Good thing is You can change easy volume when you call to someone. You tap twice and side panel of phone changes to slider - you no need see screen to adjust volume. I think buttons are of course better, but i can live without them It's not big problem for me.
I quite like them, actually...I'm left handed so it is nice to be able to change the volume on the left of the phone...and on the right if I happen to have it in that hand.
..similarly for the 'back' gesture - it works on both left and right edges and is very convenient, IMO.
I do still, sometimes, have to try twice, to get the volume slider to come up, but I suspect I'll get it right 100% soon enough (I've only had it a week or so).
