Well, the situations in which the Volume key is maintained are pretty rare in my experience (and I keep my device in my pocket all day long).
I filed this issue specifically to address the skip to next/previous track without having to turn the device screen on and going in the music app to finally press a button. If other people think we should have an issue for the "rapid volume increase", I can raise a separate issue for this. I still hope this current feature request can be address, though :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493722 Title: [Media services] Volume up/down long press should skip to next/previous track Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Media Hub: Invalid Status in Ubuntu Music App: New Status in Ubuntu UX: Triaged Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A handy feature of music players is the ability to quickly skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons. This allows users to control their music without having to take the device out of their pocket, turn its screen on, unlock it, go to the music app and press "Next". As of now, when I long press the volume button, it rapidly increases the volume, which is not very nice to my ears ;-) Is it possible to control the music app this way on Ubuntu phone?
