Volume Key Long Press doesn't work on Sony Xperia 10 III (Android 11)

[code]

Hello,

I have a new smartphone and PA is one of the first app I've installed on it, of course(!)

Everything seems to work OK apart from the Volume Key Long Press to change tracks: I've enabled the option via the PA WebADB but it doesn't work.

Long pressing the Vol keys just does nothing, both on screen off and on, I've also tried the "Emulate media option" as suggested with no results.

Any solution?

It's a small bug but rather annoying since I've to turn on the screen each time I want to skip a song 😕

@maxmp would need to test this on your particular device, but if the ADB command is not allowing pass-through of that long-keypress, that's probably more down to Android than Poweramp. You did run the ADB command on a different device, connected to your phone by USB cable didn't you? It can't be run on the device you are trying to modify.

If Android is handling it as expected, volume long-press should trigger a track change whenever PA is not the currently focussed app (such as when it is playing in the background, on the lockscreen, or with the screen off).

Hi Andre,

many thanks for your replay. Sorry, maybe I missed the point on what you wrote ...

Previously, I was using an HTC 10 and the Volume Key Long Press worked as expected.

Now I repeated the operation on my new Sony Xperia 10 III, PA reports that the permission was granted, but when I long press the volume keys I just get nothing.

So you have done the ADB command on a different device - e.g. on a PC that is connected via USB to your phone. And now you see this in the PA Settings > Misc menu:

If so, then it's down to how your device handles this particular API. As I said, @maxmp will probably have one that he can test it on for you.

Yes, that's correct! Thanks.

I'll look forward for an alternative ADB command, hopefully 🙂

There isn't an alternative ADB command, there's just the one to do that job (if supported). It needs to be run on a DIFFERENT device though (such as a PC) which is connected to your phone by USB cable.

Thanks Andre,

I must have misunderstood what you wrote.

[andrewilley]

Did you actually run the ADB command from a separate device (not on your own phone)?

Andre

[code]

Yes, I run the commands from the Poweramp WebADB Tweaks page on my PC.

In PA, under Misc, "Change Tracks By Long Volume Keys Press" I read: "Permission Granted".

Thanks, so it's presumably an Xperia / Android 11 ROM issue then, we'd need to get @maxmp's input on that, if he has one to test with.

Hello,

I'm back to this thread, I found the app Volumee (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.maslanka.volumee) is able to do the trick.

Hope this could help.
