Hello i found for specific devices than one could change songs with the volume buttons or take pictures on the camera app.
So my question is: is there a way/app to make this possible on the i727?
Changing songs with the volume buttons would be convenient when the display is off, thus we would save some battery life. And we would not have to take the phone out of the pocket to change to the next/previous song.
And it would be cool if the camera app could take pictures with the physical buttons as well?

For switching songs check the settings of your music app. PowerAmp has a setting that allows this.

the problem i face is same as the title, i want the music keep playing even while i press the power button.
i have tried pocketplayer, S2P, kinoma, HTC audio manager (manilla2d built-in) and they stop while i press the power button to put the machine to sleep mode.
i search in google but i can not find suitable articles for me.
is there anything i could do with my machine ? i am using hermes with manilla 2d rom, but before i flash this rom, everything just fine, but now, it makes me so annoying that i need keep press power button every few mins .
I use S2P and S2U2 and have set S2U2 to only blank the screen and not power off totally after 45 seconds (you can just change this to the time you want). That way I can just let the display time out and the music keeps playing. I think you can use any music player along with S2U2 this way and keep the music playing with the display off.
Pocket Player works for me
I use pocket player, and that function works fine for me. Just make sure to change the sttings : menu>more>options>advanced>power options
The only problem I have had is with the newest version. The music keeps playing when I use the power button, but I can't control playback functions like I could in version 3.6
I wouldn't recommend any other player. I use pocket player on a daily basis for my work. I do floor contracting/installation. I listen all day through bluetooth headset(function supported by pocket player without adding any other programs like BT toggle). Also has EQ and a lot of plugins(support winmedia plugins as well).
Might sound like a salesman, but I've tried them all and pocket player is the best. I hope somebody figures a way to make HTC home support
Try buying a new phone, something like a smartphone that can play music while the phone is asleep.
one thing i love about iOS (dont hate) is that whether you are playing a game, listening to music, or your phone is ringing, the volume for all of these is the same. This is so useful because you know that if you sneakily open a game in lessons etc you know if the volume is going to be loud, or if you want to watch a video you can tell if its going to shout at you before you play.
I find it extremely frustrating when i load up angry birds for example and press the lower volume rocker and all it does is lower my ring volume if the game has not fully loaded yet, meaning i then have to do it again with my media volume once the game (or whatever) has loaded up.
I am wondering if there is an app that will allow me to set a universal volume controlled by the volume rocker? and that will change both media and ring volume (and any other type of volume) just by chaning the volume rocker. Does anyone know any apps?
I am not sure if this is the right section for it to go in, if not please could a mod move it. Many thanks
Exist?
so does an app even exist for this. BTW i am using a desire HD non-rooted
Audio Manager. Add a widget to your homescreen, and control the Media volume when you want to.
Thanks. Audio manager is great for checking what the level is which I'd really useful do I know if I open a game etc I know what the volume will be. But does anyone actually know if there is a way to have all the different volumes levels controlled by the volume rocker?

Did you find any way of doing this easily? I have the same problem and I can't believe it's a hell of a lot more of a common issue tbh.
Just a quick update for anyone searching - I found an app called 'Master Volume' which has worked for me.
It doesn't offer anything in terms of exceptions or individual control I don't think, but importantly it DOES link the volume controls together and links them at the same time to the rocker switch on the phone.
So you install it, then I opened the all and it says to just leave the service running in the background (so I set my task killer app to ignore the process). That's it. It just seems to work no problem.
Result!

Hi Cret could you share the link to the app you mention?
Ok here's my situation:
I am gonna add a phone holder under my car radio and connect via AUX/jack.
So I want a direct and easy access to change songs on my Sensation without unlocking the screen every time, I am using IC roms with Sense 3.5.
-Can I disable lockscreen just for music app? (screen off but no lockscreen)
-If no can I change tracks by sliding the music icon on the lockscreen?
The stock player has built in play/pause & skip buttons along with album art on the stock lockscreen so what's the problem?
While driving it's easier to just slide the album art like in the music app to change tracks, or you take risk of accident
I just wana have this function on the lockscreen instead of fucusing on small buttons
The newest versions of Google Maps and Navigation have combined the Navigation volume with the Media Volume. I've read that by rolling back the version of the app to somewhere around 5.7 - 5.8, you can get your separate Nav and Media volume back, however I'd like to keep the latest version. Is there an app somewhere that allows for control of individual application volumes (similar to the newer versions of Windows' volume mixer)? I'd like to be able to separate the voice and media again.
Thanks,
Dan

I use this app to keep the damned speaker phone volume being linked the call volume.

Close but no cigar. This app only allows volume control of existing system functions like media, notifications, ringer, etc. Since the latest versions of Google Maps cram voice navigation and media (music, etc) into the same category, I can't control them independently.
A little back story:
I have a new motorcycle helmet with bluetooth capability. I need to be able to hear the navigation over my music. I'd turn music off and JUST have navigation, BUT... there is a delay between the navigation speaking and the bluetooth realizing it and switching back on from an idle/sleep mode, resulting in me missing directions.
What I want is for pandora to play sweet and soft tunes into my earholes while I'm riding, and for me to be able to crank the navigation volume WAY THE HELL UP so I can hear it. With the audio constantly playing through it I won't have the bluetooth wake-from-rest problem that I have using navigation alone.

It's been awhile, so I don't know if my memory serve me right. But there is a hidden menu for the audio settings for the Charge. If you do a search for the code, once you in, you can set the volume for navigation and media volume to balance out. There should be a threads in this forum for the recommended settings. Good luck.

The hidden menu option looks like it works (I can still do test mode, screen debugging, etc) but the dialer code for the audio menu no longer works (I'm on FP1, stock debloated).
Back to square one.
I'd rather have the app I'm looking for than try to hack the audio settings.
Well, I have finally found someone with EXACTLY similar problem!
I also ride a motorcycle and also listen to the music while riding and ALSO use Google Navigation!! Long ago there were good days when some version of GMaps/Navigation had a separate volume control but now it's gone.
It is impossible to hear anything with the music playing. I have tried several workarounds - one of them is to use PowerAmp and to force it to pause music every time any "other" sound plays. It didn't work. Or, well, technically it did, but the difference in volume levels between the music and navigation was so high, that I couldn't hear a thing.
I see a lot of people posting thingies like Super-Beats, Super-Duper-Beats, Super-Duper-Awesome-Beats, claiming that this is some sort of "audio driver" that is getting installed "on the system level" so that the sound is better/louder/deeper/crispier. I guess what we need is a similar solution, that would just add more "audio channels" - a separate one for Navigation, probably for smth else.
Is it at all doable?
Cheers'n'thanks!

I have found that while I'm listening to my music via the Music Play app, the song volume mutes while making the notification sound (the music does not pause though).
see if that helps.
There is a feature or option that I truly miss from an earlier version of android. The ability to have a separate volume for "Navigation" and "Media/Music" Is there anything out there that would allow that function back? I use Google Maps/Navigation and mostly Player Pro or Pandora for music and MX player for videos. My HTC Thunderbolt is running a BAMF rom with Android version 2.3.4
I would be open to a different rom as long as it does not drop below the 2.3.4 mark.
Does anyone know of anything that would bring back the separate Navigation Volume?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
There will be a greater chance of getting an answer, if the title reflected your question...
There's an app called "Volume Control +" by Team Coffeebreak soft. Check that one out...
I currently have that installed but unfortunately it does not have the separate volume controls.
What about trying to use an app like tasker or Llama to create an event that every time any specific app launches the volume sets to a specific level.
Eg.
As I start the car and my phone connects to BT audio, the volume sets to max and Google play music app launches and when I get it out the car the volume returns to normal and the music app gets killed, all events are done instantly after BT connects/disconnects.
Good idea but my ultimate goal is something a little different. While driving I enjoy listening to my music at a relatively low volume. When the music is at a volume that is enjoyable I would like to have the navigation voice louder. It might help wake me up a bit so I don't miss a turn.
a very valid reason. they should implement individual app volume controls. Unfortunately, that would fall on the hands of the developer.
