Default Volume Control with Screen Off

Does anyone know if there is a way that the volume can be changed on the SGS i9000 without the screen turning on?

I have checked the settings of both Android and Winamp but found no option.

Also, an Internet search using Google and searching the XDA did not return a result...

Thanks for the quick reply and information; I will definitely check that out now.

You would think that this would be a feature included with Android; although, maybe a developper would be able to create a mod with this feature. *hint hint*

Can anyone comment if such a modification would even be possible?

PlayerPro supports volume up/down with the screen off. It also supports skip forward/back with the volume keys, by holding them down. (this behaviour can be turned off and/or reversed with volume as well).

It's the only music app I've found that does this, although I wish it did pause instead.
Cheers

What firmware are you on? I'm on Darky's 9.3 (2.2) and it does this with the default music player.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000M - CyanogenMod
Bell Mobility

THANK YOU!!!

I am using the JVB firmware currently and, as you mentioned, the default music player actually does not turn the screen on when changing volume.

Hah! All this time and I never thought to use the default music player. Go figure...

So, seems as though I should send yet another request to Winamp development.

Wish me luck...

Alright, to finish this thread off I thought I would mention that I have been using Winamp since it was released and never looked back; so, my apologies for anyone that may have facepalmed while reading this...

Suprisingly the default music player is not that bad. Actually, I think that I may continue using it instead of Winamp until an equalizer has been implemented and the volume can be changed without causing the screen to turn on. Also, the music player has features in the notification area and Winamp does not.

Either way, thanka again to everyone that helped; it is greatly appreciated.

Voodoo sound seems to allow me to adjust all music apps with screen off.

Hi the problem with the screen that turns on when pressing the volume keys occurs when you have a non stock lockscreen like widgetlocker or winamp lockscreen controls above the stock lockscreen.

I think everyone reproduce this problem in sgs
