can one skip a track using the buttons on the earphones that came with the phone?
I remember on my good old Blackberry I could double press the middle button and it would move to the next track or radio station, single press will play/pause, long press volume up button would fast-forward a track.
On LG headset I can only play/pause and increase/decrease volume - this sucks.
Anyone had better luck with it?
mine works, double tap to skip, even in Spotify.
do you double tap quickly?

I often listen to the music while walking, and to change track i need to take device out of pocket, then press "menu" and stuff. Would be great if someone change original lockscreen so if i press and hold "volume UP" it goes to the next track. (vol. down - prev. track). Sorry for poor english.

You can also double press button on your headphones - it is "next track" . If only once - play/pause
I wish i can my bluetooth headset have only 3 buttons: answer call and same volUP volDOWN
You can get full function BT stereo headsets for as low as $20 maybe cheaper. Mine works great with dwang as far as volume and track foward and back, with CM when I hit anything on the headset it would open up all kinds of apps.
This is probably the most useful feature for me. I really miss it coming from cyanogenmod. Basically with screen off, you can control next and previous songs by long pressing the volume buttons. It is not available in stock of course. I tried several music apps but no luck. Anyone know of another way?
=.=...not I know off ATM.....
wait...Perfect CWM.....WAIT for AOSP.....WAIT FOR CM9.....WAIT FOR AOKP...
Lmt launcher. Set gesture or pie button to activate back/forward key. Going to do this now
Make sure to set min gesture score/path length lower (50 and 5 work well). Device input 2 is what works for our phone.
Right now I have:
square and diamond for pause/play (key 85)
rightDouble for next song (key 87)
leftDouble for previos (key 88)
updownDouble and downupDouble for wifi toggle
works very well outside of chrome. you'll need to hit the omnibar and then the gesture for it work in chrome
I use Jays headset from the Play store and it works great for me

do you know of an app that let skips song just with the volume buttons ??
So i have an old pair of headphones from my s3. the play/pause button works fine with the M8, but the volume up/down buttons only skip tracks and not change the volume. i can skip tracks with double/triple pressing the play button. would really like to see something control the media volume with my headphone buttons.
im sure it is... but the xda post i found for it doesn't address what i posted about.

I even purchased the oem headphones on HTC's site that says compatible with M8, still no dice. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
i have the ones that came with the M8 and i noticed only one button. i just dont get why they need to go in their own direction and remove buttons instead of comply with the current accessories and just add the features. i run with my phone in an armband so a one button remote has limited usefulness.
I am in the exact same boat...When I work out the phone is an athletic armband so I don't really have access to it during my workout. I use these headphones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005I2IVRO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I can play/pause by pressing the middle button once and skip tracks forward by double tapping the middle. However, the volume up and volume down buttons are do not function period. Very annoying and hoping there's an Xposed module or an app that can make them work.

I am currently running blisspop 5 but also use others on the OnePlus One. I own a pair of Xiaomi Piston earphones and like that the 3 button controls like volume work on android devices. My question is if there is a way to change the buttons or add an option to skip track? I know this can be done in the MIUI Rom settings but really don't like that Rom.
Thanks!

Shouldn't double tapping the play/pause button skip track?
Tried but all it seems to do is pause and play, long press opens Google search command, double tap volume just changes volume twice, long press volume scrolls volume
Poweramp has these settings if you use it.
Edit: settings>headset /Bluetooth>wired headset.

I've tried rapidly pressing it and slowing it down, it doesn't seem to matter how fast
Any of you have a suggestion for an app compatible with the s6 that will allow me to long press the up and down vol buttons to skip to next track/prev track, especially when the screen is off?
Just got S6 and I really need it too! I don't understand why retards don't add this feature into every stock ROM, but you want 2gb of bloatware - no problem!

Lol! I also miss that feature from cm! In fact, I sometimes long press the volume buttons and hate that this is not present on TW full of useless services!
The play/pause button on the headphones on S6:
single press -> play/pause
double press -> next song
tripple press -> previous song
it took time to get used to after being on CM, but it does work out of the box...
