Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Thanks for that
Where do you set the defaults?
Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?

Hi all... I am seeking for a good Media Music Player (i got Pocket Player, which is very nice), but i am looking for something..
I don't like to get out my phone in metro, bus, and so... I would like to be able to program touch like vol up (long) to put the next song), vol down (long) previous, and an intelligent way to do play/pause... does anyone have a good idea how do this?
Also, sonyercisson did something very nice... By shaking in different ways the mobile, it change the volume, the song, play and stop it... Mobile costs about 150 € and it's very useful and this wonderfull fonction.. If a programmer would like to work on it, many donations would probably follow...
Thx answering me, and sorry for my bad english...

You don't want to have to take your device out while on the bus, but want to be able to shake the device to control volume / change songs? You will still need to take the device out of your pocket to shake it.
Just get bluetooth Headphones that support A2DP and control your music on your device right from your bluetooth headphones. Many of the music player software support A2DP. Just make sure the bluetooth headphones you buy have the controls and are A2DP capable. You will not have to take the deivce out of your pocket or it's case at all to control the music - Change songs, volume right from bluetooth headphones.
I don't want to buy a bluetooth headphone...
I meant when i said, i can't get it out, it's that i don't want to get it out, put it on, unlock it, make next song...
I would like a intelligent way to change song easily, like using sound volume or shaking it...
Someone got an idea?
Use S2U2, every option can be the default, but you must change the volume button from off to on.
You can change radio station as well as skip/repeat songs in TF3D, provided the respective program is the foreground program.
To work, you must have S2L2 running but not locked AND you must have the unit in blanked screen (by switching off the power button).
Once the unit is locked (which unfortunately will happen if the device is idle for too long), then the volume rocker will no longer be able to change station or repeat/skip songs.
Hope this helps
ty for the answer !!
See you !

In some cities you could get arrested for NOT taking it out when you shake it.
lol !!!!!!!!!
Just like that
i also brought this idea up in another thread.
i used a sony ericsson w850i walkman phone and used it to listen to music all day long and it was great. i dont use my ipod coz i simply dont like it, so the music player in my phone is also really important to me coz i want my phone to be all-in-1.
anyways.. the w850i hat this smart control on the volume buttons
short up: volume up
short down: volume down
long up: previous track
long down: next track
and trust me - once u have this u never wanna miss it
phone in the pocket is just way more convenient.. i often ride my bike and theres no damn time to take the phone out and change the song ^^
i also highly prefer the built-in players due to many reasons

Try TCPMP. I know that you can map any buttons to any comand - See if you can do what you want with this. TCPMP is also free
doesnt work on my phone for any reason...
The included windows media player can acutally do this, I've mapped vol up down single press to volume, and holding will change track prev or next. BUT.... this only works if you somehow get the normal volume application unmapped, else when pressing the volume, the volume application will grab the volume push before windows media player receives it..
When I in TCMP mapped volume buttons they "unhooked" from the volume application then afterwards I could use buttons in windows media player. I couldn't get TCMP to support "hold" key else I could just use that.. Now I only use TCMP to ruin the volume application stealing volume key.. Also this means that you can't really use volume application afterwards so not a very good solution but it works for now.
I'd mostly like a program that can just unhook/rehook volume buttons from/to volume application so I can use these for single press/hold for windows media player.
Tried AEBPlus button but couldn't get the wanted result.
Finally, i found what i wanted...
S2P is perfect for it... There is the shake option... and combined with S2U you can easily change music..
I recommand it to everyone !!
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=237507 (unmap_volume.zip) will release the volume buttons on Touch HD (and others), so it for example can be mapped in windows media player to single press adjust volume and hold will change track. Just like on my old Sony Ericsson phone it's convinient to be able to both change track and adjust volume without looking/turning on the screen (just remember to map the buttons also in WMP10 settings).
Anybody know if Coreplayer supports hotkeys by "holding a key" (don't want to buy to find out). Only player I actually seen this in is WMP10 and I tried alot of others (mort, tcmp, pocketmusic5, pocketplayer, gsplayer).
Try AEB Plus:
http://ae.inc.ru - the shareware version has virtually all the functions of the registered version.
It does not do the shake but multiple presses on the volume and long presses.
I think Mobile Magic (on this forum) does find some types of shake but I have not tried it.

Yes I toyed around with AEB Plus, just seems to overkill, having a big footprint with a lot of features I have other programs for. Some programs should stick to the main focus (mapping stuff) and not try to evolve into an all purpose swiss army knife (taskmanager, memory/battery monitor etc).
this is what I use with my wired earphone
1. using AEB Plus, map the side volume up key as "Press Up Arrow key" , map the side volume down key as "Press Down Arrow key"
2. go to the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd , set defaultkeylock from 1 to 0 . This will enable the volume button when your touch hd went to stand by mode
Using the TouchFLO music player, I can now press the side button Up (previous track) and Down (next track). Best thing is the touch hd's screen remain off ..
Note that I have done tons of other modification so I am not sure if the 1, 2 enough to achieve this. good luck
How on Earth did you get the music to keep playing with the screen turned off? With the screen off are all the other buttons locked too? So that the things don't get pressed when it gets back into your pocket?
I know Ive seen this done on other phones and Ive searched high and low on the forum to no avail. Is there a cab tweak that will allow WMP to continue playing while on standby.
You shouldn't need any add-on or tweak to do this - unless you are playing thru the speaker. WMP should continue to play on wired and BT headsets even in standby.

The issue is seen when playing music through the TF3D player itself out through the speaker, and the system locking through S2U2. You can't turn the screen off or else playback will stop.
Someone posted a solution for what sounded like the same problem, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4468939&postcount=14
They stated that it is actually caused by S2U2, and there is a setting within the program that will fix your issue.
However, this doesn't fix it for me. Worth a shot to try though, so I know if its just me or not.
You can use ShutXP to turn off just the screen (instead of going into standby) to accomplish your needs. However, this isn't the most ideal solution.
Explained:
It seems that the power button driver doesn't turn the screen off it puts the device into standby. That is why when you try and turn of the screen with the power button ur music turns off. Its just like a computer. If you use psshutxp and use that to specifically turn off the screen the music will continue to play.

Actually, after doing the option mentioned in the other thread, it will still cut off the music if you just press the power button. My solution (which works for me, at least) is while listening to music in the Touch Flo tab, I press start, then enable S2U2 by clicking on its icon. The S2U2 screen then shows up. I tap anywhere on the S2U2 unlock screen (without actually trying to unlock it) THEN I press the power button. Somehow, that's my workaround to keep music playing through the phone speakers while the screen is off.
Hope it works for you.
I have thesame problem. The default WMplayer works even in standby but all other players like coreplayer, pocketmusic, etc stops when I press standby. So what's in WMplayer that made it continue to play even in standby?
If u press the power button to send the phone into standby the music stops. However if u just leave the phone and allow it to enter standby automatically (set at 30 secs for me) it will continue to play the music.
start playing a song, go to menu, options, buttons and set Toggle Screen to a button. Then when you press that button it will turn off the screen. Works on the Fuze..should work on the TP2 as well
Another solution would be to use gyrator2, and create a rule that when running WMP it blanks the screen when turned face-down.
(remember if adding gyrator to a TP2 to disable the "hang up call when turned upside-down" option as that's when speakerphone is supposed to kick in, not hang up the phone!)

my wm does not do this, when i hit the top button in wmplayer it still cuts the music off
since I upgraded to 6.5 the screen will turn off automatically (after the time you've specified in energysettings) and the tf3d audioplayer continues the playback. If I switch of the device the playback will stop, so let the device switch the screen of by itself. At 6.1 the screen always stays activated.
I've got a similar issue and some noob questions:
Regardless of if i have headphones connected or not, WMP stops playing within a few seconds of the screen shutting off. This happens regardless of if I let the screen turn off on its own or if i do it manually.
I went into the power settings page and disabled "turn off device if not used for ".
Now the backlight dims, but the screen never really shuts off (unless you push the power button). WMP works like a champ, but I have a few questions/concerns:
Is the above behavior normal for a completely 'stock' phone?
How bad is that for battery life?
Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing (turning off the screen, but maintaining playback)?
Based on the option in the settings page, im assuming that more then just the LCD turning off is actually occurring when the screen blanks out?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Mine turns off the music whenever I press the power button, whether on WMPlayer or TouchFlo, when playing on the speaker. When I hooked the phone up to external power it does the same. When I hooked it up to external power and to my cars speakers through an FM Transmitter, with the transmitter being plugged into to headphone/lineout jack the music stayed playing.
This is not due only to S2U2...because I did a hard reset...and it still has this issue, without any added hardware on the stock Rom on a Tilt2.
My Samsung Epix with its stock 6.1 Rom never had this problem. Music always stayed playing.
No fix yet?
Hi, i've searching for this for a while, but to no avail.
I love my new Galaxy S2, but there is one issue that bothers me, and that is that I have to take it out of my pocket to skip tracks.
I heard from one person stating you could skip the track by long pressing the button on the supplied head phones, however I cannot get this to work. Does this work for any body else?
If the headphones can't skip track, does anyone know of any that do (volume control is not important)? Or an app/trick to skip track without needing to take the phone out of my pocket? (such as long press volume rocker)
I have an old bluetooth stereo headset, and even this won't allow track skipping, only play/pause, despite working fine with my nexus one. All help would be greatly appreciated.
You skip tracks by double pressing the mic button. It's a pain to get the timing right, but it does work with the stock music player.
You can download PowerAMP Music Player from the android market.
It's a better music player and you can longpress the button to change the track
Trail version is 15 days, you gotta buy the full app after that

So If my headphones can't even play/pause the stock music app , I might have an some other underlying issue?
Strangely I play/pause with the headset if I install Fedes music app alpha v4, and possibly others. Will try uninstalling all music apps again and see if they were interferring somehow.
Confused!
To follow up, the double click to skip works in Fedes Music app (you're right about the timing) but still won't work in either the stock music app or the music hub.
Really fustrating.
The double clicking works on stock but you have to get the timing right, which is near impossible. The whole Samsung s2 stock music app is a load of crap compared to the original S, the sound, the music contol, the whole thing is much worse! I don't know what they have done, but they have definitely gone backwards with the music app!
You can use a remote from an HTC headphone for skipping tracks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the button does not work at all when using the stock app. No play/pause, no track skip, nothing.
All other music apps seem to work as intended. So surely this must be an issue with my stock music app? As if there is a hidden setting I turned off, but can't find to turn back on.

About 2.5 years too late but I think I've nailed it. I can get a consistently successful double click skip by holding the first click a little longer. Using a pair of cheap Sony earphones on the S2.

I found an app,Plug In Music Widget, which able to do the volume up to skip music, but the bad is, it is very hard to just skip 1 songs, it would skips more then 1 track..........
It works with the android music player.
additional
ok, i just install Headset button controller after the plug in music widget and Now
it does skip 1 music track, but still have some drawback, here's the setting.
Plug In Music Widget:
double click timing 0.3sec
track change using volume key: when screen off
plug out function: none
no auto start
Headset button controller:
target music app: pick you apps, i am using MymusicOn
under
right button action: single click: next track (our volume up is right button action)
the rest of the button, set to disable.
plug in action: disable
plug out action:disable
This will skip 1 songs if you double tap volume up.
The bad: I won't play songs automatically if you plug the headphone. I need to plug the headphone when the screen is off, the it would play and the other bad is
if you plug the headphone at the very beginning when screen is off, it would skip 1 song and play, basically resume last song won't work.
and don't know how to go back previous song yet.
Headset button controller does the same bit is more easily used, and more customizable, I recommend you give it a shot

So this allows you to skip songs with the volume buttons on the phone while screen is off? With stock Samsung player? Sorry I ask so many questions I can't really try it because I'm on the remastered beast mod which has this feature but I'd like to move back to a different rom that doesn't have this feature so this seems perfect.

This is the best I've personally found so far, you might like it: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.purelogicapps.android.tactileplayerfree
One really annoying thing though is you have to double tap volume instead of long press. Seems like most of them are like that. I wish they'd at least make long press an option, grr.
Nothing happens when I press the play/pause button, or the skip to next track, or the skip to previous track button. I tried this with Winamp playing in the foreground. I'm not sure if this is possible with Winamp. So I also tried it with MortPlayer Music which is what I have used previously and I know it supports this feature. But still nothing. Usually Mort will start playing as soon as I press the play button on the remote, even when it's not in the foreground or not even launched. But now... just silence.
I have SuperNova ROM with Data2SD and Android 2.3.3. I have S-OFF, root, and stock HBOOT.
Is there some service or process missing? Or not running in the background? What else could it be?
Just for clarification, the headset is working, I mean I can hear the music, it's just that there is no way to use the buttons to control it (except through the app).
Edit:
Also, is there something like a menu option or control panel, some means of controlling which app gets to use the headset buttons? Or a way of setting which app is the default music player? Or which one is the default browser for instance? Is this possible in Android? Some centralized place where you can set all of these things, a little bit like Windows style?
not tried it myself, but does this app work? it's a trial, so you can see if it works, and have to pay later. or might be other apps which are free and work, have a browse
(as an aside some roms allow long pressing of volume buttons to skip tracks, but i believe this has to be the stock music app, and probably has to be on the system partition)
Jack is the culprit!
I have found the culprit. It's my headset jack! You can check out the picture below.
I think some leads have broken inside the sleeve at the jack. That's why it bulges out like that, you can see that it's a little thick at that point. If I press and hold the cable at this point the remote control buttons work again, more or less, it glitches sometimes. If I let go it stops working, or it works sometimes if I move the cable around like when having the phone in a pocket.
For the record, this is the original HTC headset, I think it's RC-E160. The earbuds are still working though. So it's pretty much just a headphone right now. I haven't used it very much because, almost nothing at all, because of the poor sound quality. I started using it only like three months ago as as a temporary replacement when my Sony got broken. Now these are broken too. My Sony lasted much longer.
I still wonder how you can control which app gets priority and things like that, when you have like two or three different apps that respond to headset buttons. Is there no option in Android from where you can control this? Is your only option to uninstall the apps you don't want to be interfering? This doesn't seem well thought through.
