Hi guys....need some help. With the old version of wmp 9 i could play music whilst the PDA was off (standby, i guess) thereby saving battery power. With wmp 10 as soon as i turn it off the music stops playing.
Any ideas, or am i stuck with leaving it on when playing music???
mplayer 9 also stop playing if you turn it off
but you can turn off the screen if you set a shortcut to one button
look in mplayer10's options i'm sure it support that too
where do i get the wmp10 for xda2s?
Search the wiki for Blue Angel and you will find the latest 1.40 ROM which contains WMP 10. By the way, Gadget Boy, assign one of your hardware buttons to screen toggle like in WMP 9 and you can listen to music while the screen is off!

does anyone has the upgrade file? or anyone has extracted from the rom?

Hi all... I am seeking for a good Media Music Player (i got Pocket Player, which is very nice), but i am looking for something..
I don't like to get out my phone in metro, bus, and so... I would like to be able to program touch like vol up (long) to put the next song), vol down (long) previous, and an intelligent way to do play/pause... does anyone have a good idea how do this?
Also, sonyercisson did something very nice... By shaking in different ways the mobile, it change the volume, the song, play and stop it... Mobile costs about 150 € and it's very useful and this wonderfull fonction.. If a programmer would like to work on it, many donations would probably follow...
Thx answering me, and sorry for my bad english...
do i smell ?

You don't want to have to take your device out while on the bus, but want to be able to shake the device to control volume / change songs? You will still need to take the device out of your pocket to shake it.
Just get bluetooth Headphones that support A2DP and control your music on your device right from your bluetooth headphones. Many of the music player software support A2DP. Just make sure the bluetooth headphones you buy have the controls and are A2DP capable. You will not have to take the deivce out of your pocket or it's case at all to control the music - Change songs, volume right from bluetooth headphones.
I don't want to buy a bluetooth headphone...
I meant when i said, i can't get it out, it's that i don't want to get it out, put it on, unlock it, make next song...
I would like a intelligent way to change song easily, like using sound volume or shaking it...
Someone got an idea?
Use S2U2, every option can be the default, but you must change the volume button from off to on.
You can change radio station as well as skip/repeat songs in TF3D, provided the respective program is the foreground program.
To work, you must have S2L2 running but not locked AND you must have the unit in blanked screen (by switching off the power button).
Once the unit is locked (which unfortunately will happen if the device is idle for too long), then the volume rocker will no longer be able to change station or repeat/skip songs.
Hope this helps
ty for the answer !!
See you !

In some cities you could get arrested for NOT taking it out when you shake it.
lol !!!!!!!!!
Just like that
i also brought this idea up in another thread.
i used a sony ericsson w850i walkman phone and used it to listen to music all day long and it was great. i dont use my ipod coz i simply dont like it, so the music player in my phone is also really important to me coz i want my phone to be all-in-1.
anyways.. the w850i hat this smart control on the volume buttons
short up: volume up
short down: volume down
long up: previous track
long down: next track
and trust me - once u have this u never wanna miss it
phone in the pocket is just way more convenient.. i often ride my bike and theres no damn time to take the phone out and change the song ^^
i also highly prefer the built-in players due to many reasons

Try TCPMP. I know that you can map any buttons to any comand - See if you can do what you want with this. TCPMP is also free
doesnt work on my phone for any reason...
The included windows media player can acutally do this, I've mapped vol up down single press to volume, and holding will change track prev or next. BUT.... this only works if you somehow get the normal volume application unmapped, else when pressing the volume, the volume application will grab the volume push before windows media player receives it..
When I in TCMP mapped volume buttons they "unhooked" from the volume application then afterwards I could use buttons in windows media player. I couldn't get TCMP to support "hold" key else I could just use that.. Now I only use TCMP to ruin the volume application stealing volume key.. Also this means that you can't really use volume application afterwards so not a very good solution but it works for now.
I'd mostly like a program that can just unhook/rehook volume buttons from/to volume application so I can use these for single press/hold for windows media player.
Tried AEBPlus button but couldn't get the wanted result.
Finally, i found what i wanted...
S2P is perfect for it... There is the shake option... and combined with S2U you can easily change music..
I recommand it to everyone !!
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=237507 (unmap_volume.zip) will release the volume buttons on Touch HD (and others), so it for example can be mapped in windows media player to single press adjust volume and hold will change track. Just like on my old Sony Ericsson phone it's convinient to be able to both change track and adjust volume without looking/turning on the screen (just remember to map the buttons also in WMP10 settings).
Anybody know if Coreplayer supports hotkeys by "holding a key" (don't want to buy to find out). Only player I actually seen this in is WMP10 and I tried alot of others (mort, tcmp, pocketmusic5, pocketplayer, gsplayer).
Try AEB Plus:
http://ae.inc.ru - the shareware version has virtually all the functions of the registered version.
It does not do the shake but multiple presses on the volume and long presses.
I think Mobile Magic (on this forum) does find some types of shake but I have not tried it.

Yes I toyed around with AEB Plus, just seems to overkill, having a big footprint with a lot of features I have other programs for. Some programs should stick to the main focus (mapping stuff) and not try to evolve into an all purpose swiss army knife (taskmanager, memory/battery monitor etc).
this is what I use with my wired earphone
1. using AEB Plus, map the side volume up key as "Press Up Arrow key" , map the side volume down key as "Press Down Arrow key"
2. go to the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd , set defaultkeylock from 1 to 0 . This will enable the volume button when your touch hd went to stand by mode
Using the TouchFLO music player, I can now press the side button Up (previous track) and Down (next track). Best thing is the touch hd's screen remain off ..
Note that I have done tons of other modification so I am not sure if the 1, 2 enough to achieve this. good luck
How on Earth did you get the music to keep playing with the screen turned off? With the screen off are all the other buttons locked too? So that the things don't get pressed when it gets back into your pocket?
Have had a TMO TP2 for about a month now, using the stock TMO rom, at least for now until the WinMo 6.5 stuff settles down a bit and I can make a good ROM choice.
The problem: Listening to streaming audio from the net (either over WiFi or mobile network, no difference) using either the wired or BT headset (no difference in behavior) on battery power. The phone will go to sleep and interupt the audio after the normal sleep timer expires. Only solution I have found is to keep touching the screen or other activity to keep the phone "awake", quite irritating. All other media feature operate as expected.
I use primarily Windows Media Player or Kinoma Play for the audio streaming. I have not tried to duplicate using local media files or the TF3D audio app since I don't store local media files on the phone. (have other devices and services for that, MS realease Zune software for WinMo for goodness sake!)
I used my previous WinMo phones like this with no problem (TMO Wing and MDA with various factory and cooked ROMS) with no issue like this. There seems to be a registry setting or some other tweak missing that tells the phone not to sleep when media is actively being played but I don't know where to find that setting.
Yeah, I could switch to a cooked ROM but that seems to be a "nuke it from orbit" solution when a simple "surgical strike" could do the trick.
Ideas anyone?
Have you installed the S2U2 sliding lock app?
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
I'm having this exact same problem & have been trying to find the registry key for several weeks. I'm also assuming it's a simple registry entry as my previous Palm Treo 700wx never shut off when streaming music no matter what application I used. Now with the Touch Pro 2 it shuts off based on the control panel power settings even while streaming music. I know I can set the power option to never sleep, but if I do that my battery would drain much quicker. Also lots of times I'll forget to turn that option back on once I'm done streaming & it's very inconvenient. I'm currently using TCPMP to get around this problem, but would like to find a solution so it's not application specific.
did anyone figure this one out?
Regedit the following dword value:
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\BattPowerOff
Set it to 0 and soft-reset.
I have the same problem with S2U2 installed. The reg setting is there and i set S2U2 not to kill the power when locking.
Try this, It works with Pandora for me.

This is what the cab a few posts back actually changes.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended]

Thanks! Good to know. A very simple registry edit.
I havent used this but has anyone used this when not using a wav file and has it gone to sleep. I just use "turn the light off" cab and screen lock combo to stream.
ok so i have ordered another s621 and it has the same os number as the wm6 standard version i had before, 1.33.422.1, however i notice that windows media player does not dock on my home screen like the other phone did...
am i missing something or is there any way I can get around this>?
So I've been playing around with my Touch Pro 2 that I just got a few weeks ago. Having lots of fun, except for one thing: I can't get my Bluetooth controls to work for advancing or repeating tracks or pausing play with ANY media player except for Windows Media Player. I've tried at least a half dozen other players and every time I try to change tracks or pause play nothing happens with the music player and my phone just returns to the "home" screen.
What's worse, when I trying to use it with Media Player it seems to lock up some of my hardware buttons and I can't use the start to back key until I reboot. Anyone else experience any issues like this? Did I just screw something up by playing around with too many other programs?
I'm on Verizon running Win 6.5.
Just an update... I just loaded Pocket Tunes from NormSoft. This program works with BT buttons right out of the box. This was the program I used to use on my old phone, but I didn't think they had a 480x800 skin. Just found one and I'm a happy camper.
I just use the player built into sense and my controls work fine with my bluetooth car kit. I can advance, pause play etc etc
