Skipping Music

[Jehch]

Hello All,

Recently drowned my BlackBerry 9900 and decided to come back to Android for a bit until BB10 launches and bought a Galaxy S3.

The one major thing I absolutely miss about my 9900 that this phone just doesn't seem to do out of the box is being able to skip music without actually being in the phone.

What I mean by this is that I could have my 9900 security locked and skip music by holding the volume rockers down. This feature comes in super convenient in a car when you have it plugged in an AUX IN port.

I've been unable to find anyway to reproduce this. It seems I have to unlock the phone, open the music player (Or widget) and skip it that way.

I've even tried a set of old HTC headphones I have with the skip buttons on them, but this just cranks the volume up and down.

Am I missing something? Is there a hidden option somewhere I just can't seem to find? Or do I have to install a third party App or Root / Reflash to get this functionality?

I wanna love my S3, but so far I just like it. Missing my 9900 a bit.

Thanks in Advance!

I have that in my rom I'm running. It's pretty cool. You might find an app that does that. Not sure. I do know there's an app called wave control that shows you to skip songs by waving your hand over the device

I can skip using my bluetooh headphones.
