BECAUSE THE GALAXY S II is built for multitasking, you can play music even when you’re doing something else. Open the Music app, start the music, and then feel free to use other apps and features. The music keeps playing. While music is playing, a small button appears in the Notification bar. Drag down the Notification bar and tap the song playing, and you’ll see a miniature set of controls for playing, pausing, and jumping forward and back in music. To head to the music player, tap the picture of the album.
Even when your phone is locked, if you were listening to music before the Galaxy S II locked itself, it keeps playing. Turn on the screen, even though the phone remains locked, and you’ll see music controls. You can pause and play music, as well as skip to the next song or go back to a previous song, without having to unlock the Galaxy S II.
