I have a Verizon*Razr*Maxx HD JB 4.11, stock rom, rooted. When using any of the numerous music players I've tried, the music cuts out briefly when I press the power button to wake-up the screen.*I have not had this issue on any other android phone before.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

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

Folks,
Please suggest me a music player for my international Galaxy S3 running stock everything, that supports long press volume button feature. Basically I am looking for a music player that will let me change tracks by long pressing volume up/down button.
The feature must work when the phone is in locked state and even otherwise.
Thanks.
CM9/10 has this feature. Settings > Sound > Volume rocker music control
Works with the universal API, so any music player that normally accepts inline controls will pick up the signal.
HI all. I recently started using Poweramp. I am on the Embryo ROM.
I believe PowerAmp is supposed to have capability to allow for using the volume keys to skip songs on a long press when the screen is off / in lockscreen mode.
I see settings that sound like they relate to this in PowerAmp (under headset settings, not lockscreen) and I see settings that seem to relate to this in ROM Customizer on Embryo.
Ive tried tweaking a bunch of them but I cant figure out how to get this to work, and what combination of settings, in the app and/or ROM, will activate this function. I get the lockscreen mode to work where, when I wake the device, it shows PowerAmp controls as the lockscreen, but no success with the volume key skip.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Ever since I got this phone I've noticed an irritating lag when it comes to using the wired Pixel Buds' Play/Pause button. Sometimes it works right away -- I can hit the center button and my music is paused, I can hit it again and it plays. However, nine times out of ten there's always a terrible delay. Sometimes I can press the button and my music won't resume for 5-10 seconds. If music is already playing, sometimes it won't pause for 5-10 seconds. It doesn't seem to be attributable to any specific app as it does it to Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and PocketCasts.
It has been this way between two pairs of headphones on both Android Pie and Android Q beta. Factory reset hasn't helped any either.
Has anyone else experienced this input lag?
