[REQ] HTC Diamond Music Functions

[tobsmonster2]

Hi, I've searched the forum and I haven't found anything on this, so I just wanted to know if it is possible to change the current track playing on the phone using the volume rocker, i.e;

- by holding down for next track and holding up for previous track etc.

Also, I've noticed when I remove my headset from the phone (during playback), the sound automatically diverts back to the phone speaker. Is there a way to disable this feature, i.e;

- by stopping music/video playback when the headset/handfree is removed.

Before getting the diamond I was an SE Walkman user and I miss these features alot, so any help would be much appreciated.

The Monster. :p

You can change the tracks by using the 'up' and 'down' keys.... and pause / start playback by pressing the 'action' key (centre d-pad). Personally I flick the album art up or down to change to the previous or next track. You can even tap the 'next' and 'previous' icons on the screen next to the album art.... I think that's enough options to satisfy pretty much everybody's taste!

Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood my situation.
I was asking because I'd like to be able to change tracks using a hardware key, without having to look at the phone/use the touch screen.

My understanding is that the D-Pad is hardware... at least on my device it is! ;)

an even better solution would be one that would allow us to change the currently playing song with hardware buttons while the screen is turned off. to be more specific, for example, hold the volume down key while the phone is in the pocket for next tune

or would it be possible to record a specific command to say in the headset for these functions ? if that were possible, it would be terrific, cause pulling the phone out of the pouch each time i want to change the track isn't so nice..

I use Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones which are really small, sound great and have all the controls you need... volume up/down, previous/next track, play/pause - all without having to go anywhere near your device. Of course if you're stuck in the 90's like so many users seem to be, I'll now get an ear bashing about how there should be a 3.5mm jack socket so you can use your iPod headphones or something! :p

totally agree!!! :D

s9 are awesome. i was worried about the quality been crapppy. but the second i put them on i was blown away by the sound. sure its not going to sound like etymotics or sure headphones. but they dont cost 200-300 dollars and dont have a wire to get into knots and get in your way. + built in controls for music and calls is just awesome.
