Hey There, We all obviously use volume keys, but just to control volume. How about adding some new tasks and actions while you click the volume buttons? In this article, we will see how to control music with volume keys.
So, If you want to know how to make the best use of your device's volume keys, here is the cool and useful app that lets you do it very easily. We have also featured this app on Apps from Techniverse of November 2020.
We can back and forward through the songs in the play queue just by holding your volume keys. So the phone can be in your pocket with the screen turned off and it's still going to work.
This app is not available on the play store. You may get the APK from The XDA developers forum and install it manually on your device. You can find the download link in the description below.
Setting up this functionality is pretty simple, You just have to turn on the toggle in the app.
Some devices don’t give us settings but instead prompts us to run the adb command.
To do that, first you have to enable the developer settings as to the UI installed on your device. Then you have to enable the developer options and turn on the USB debugging and the USB debugging (security settings).
After doing that you have to head over to your PC and download the platform tools and extract the same.
Now connect your mobile to the PC via a USB cable and you would be getting a prompt to allow debugging on your mobile.
Allow the permission and enter cmd in the address bar of the extracted folder of platform tools. Now enter adb devices in the command window to make sure your device is connected and recognized.
Then copy the command line provided and hit enter.
Once done you would be shown the settings when your launch the app and the prompt will be gone. You don't lose control over device volume at all, as usual, we can normally increase and decrease the volume by multiple taps like we usually do.
If you want to use your volume keys more than just changing the volume, then this is the app you have to check out.
