Hi,
with my wizard and wm6 when I pushed the poweroff button while listening to music with a2dp, the music continued so it was perfect.
But now I have a trinity with LVSW rom and when I push poweroff the music stops.
Somebody know how to change it in order to have music continously playing?
Thanks!
Same with most, if not all HTC phones do this. VERY annoying! And I would like this fix as well...
same. any one know a fix?
Power Off suspends the device, so all processor based activity will stop, including the player program playing the music, though BT itself will remain active.
The 1st poster with the Wizard- that is not normal behaviour, and it is probably that the power button was remapped to 'Screen Off' when using the Player program.
What you need to do, is open WMP (if that is your player) and go to Options/Buttons. Within the list is a 'Toggle Screen' item. Map a button to that, and then when you press the button, the screen will blank, but the player will continue with A2DP. Pressing the button again, or the power button will restore the screen. As the screen is the biggest user of power, this will conserve your battery. I think you can also elect to lock other buttons with teh screen off, to prevent unwanted actions.

Hi Neil,
Most certainly you are right on this, I've seen devices that had the "Screen Off" assigned to the Power button by default, so instead of going to suspend, the backlight was turned off.
To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:

Are you using HTC Audio Player or Windows Media ?
On my device, I'm using HTC Audio Player, included on HTC Home and it works fine. My ROM is Faman's ROM 3.3.
For sure, on Faman's ROM 3.3 in spanish, it souhld be the same.
Spanish :
Intentalo con la ROM de Faman ES 3.3 que funciona bien. Puedes apagarlo y sigue tocando musica.
Same, I use HTC Audio Player from PDAViet's latest rom.
Music plays fine after you suspend it
If you use GS player, you can bind another key to "screen off + key lock" which will effectively do the same thing
I second that request. My xda flame acts the same, and it is not normal behaviour (there is more than one suspend state and one of them is supposed to keep BT active). I hope it's not hardware and can be fixed.

No I can confirm it worked this way with htc's prophet also.. whatever player you use it won't stop when going to standby. And with same players on other devices it will stop.
Am currently digging into registry, will post if I find something....

But with coreplayer same prob, no sound anymore !?!

I think it just prevents the device to go to suspend while bluetooth is active, but then the battery drain is bigger..
The best until a solution is found is to turn the screen off

No, this has nothing to do with device being suspended or turn off.
It only prevents bluetooth to break connection when device is suspended.
Please try this and report here.
@lastnikita: unfortunately it does not work with our xda flames, but it works well with a prophet and wizard.
If you want then you can check the 'Blank Screen' option in CorePlayer. I hope it will help you.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Media Player/Preferences
Set "unattended play" to "1"

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...

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?
Currently I'm using Windows Media Player 10 mobile, and when the device goes to Standby (to save battery), the player stops playing.
When I had the HTC Diamond the ROM I used had a tweak in it to allow Media Player to keep playing even in standby mode.
Do you know of a way to solve this problem with Media player, or can you suggest other player that can play in standby ?
Thanks.
S2P does it
Try A_C's S2P, the best mobile media player ever.
It turns off backlight automatically and is really great to use.
Enjoy!

Kinoma Freeplay all the way, most fluid and pretty interfrace you can get.
Mortplayer!
all player will auto "shut off" music in standby mode;
ONLY when u have earpiece plug in, then it wont cut off the music.
anyway, kinoma freeplay is very buggy.. mortplayer FTW
Pocket Player 4
mate, all these players mentioned above are good, but i've always felt the whole thing getting a bit sticky when they're running.
however (not perfect either) i would recommend Pocket Player 4. is the one i been using for a few months and cooking in my own roms. it plays everything from audio to video and has full support for online streaming.
it will carry on playing as normal when you put the phone in standby and will keep backlight on if you dont press the top button.
if youre listening to online radio via network it wont drop the connection - fantastic here in the uk where some of us have unlimited data - but it will stop if you're using wifi, but this has nothing to do with the app, by default, touch hd will drop wifi connection in standby mode.
it is skin changeable and i use the windows media player one, so i use different app but at least with same face.
the only bad thing about this app is that it takes about 20-40 seconds to load and for a moment you might think it isnt loading but it is. apart from that, it's all joy.

Yes I know the TF3D works fine while in Standby, but it has a different problem.
Well, you could also try something else; use your favorite mediaplayer and let the screen be turned off when the device is faced down.
I use Gyrator to turn off the screen, no stand-by mode nessecary. When you need it be turned on again, press the on/off button.
As a slight aside, Resco Radio also works fine in standby. Just hit Disp Off.

"Display off" is not standby. There is a difference in battery usage between the two.
In standby/suspended mode the device is sleeping and all OS processes are suspended, therefore you can't have audio playback still active then.
In unattended mode, and this is what you are referring to, you can have audio playing while some other functionality is effectively disabled.
Since screen backlight is one of the major contributors to power consumption, turning the screen off is almost as good as running in unattended mode, don't exclude this option.
Sadly most players are not designed to fully take advantage of unattended mode. WMP IS aware of this mode though. However, with the variety of platforms around there's no easy way to make wave and bluetooth drivers remain operational in unattended mode.
Check out http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/WiMoPower1.aspx for an article dicussing power state adjustments for various drivers in unattended mode. Be careful if you change anything, as the result may not be exactly as expected and effective power consumption may increase.
Thanks for the clarification stepw.

Is that HTC media player or Windows media player?
The HTC one ( the one on the music tab) works fine streaming to my car radio with the screen off. WMP turns off with the screen tho'
I haven't found a fix for this either =( When I use my stereo bluetooth headset all is fine: I can press the power button, device goes into suspend, music keeps playing. But when I'm playing music through the speaker - as I like to do in the morning in the shower - music playback stops when pressing the power button.
I found a registry setting for the HTC audio manager (hkey\localmachine\software\htc\audiomanager_eng\config\enter_suspend) but it didn't do anything =(

This is the way it's meant to be.
If it's playing through speakers, the sound stops by pressing the power button. If it's playing through headphones, you can press power and it will still play.
is there anyway to change it in the registry so that we can turn the device off and still play it through the speakers. TP2 got 2 good speakers so it would be nice to leave it in the table and listen music without hearphones

I used S2U2 lastest version, run S2U2 Settings > Advanced > check on "Don't Suspend Power" > Save > Yes, and my TP2 can play music when device off
I know Ive seen this done on other phones and Ive searched high and low on the forum to no avail. Is there a cab tweak that will allow WMP to continue playing while on standby.
You shouldn't need any add-on or tweak to do this - unless you are playing thru the speaker. WMP should continue to play on wired and BT headsets even in standby.
S
The issue is seen when playing music through the TF3D player itself out through the speaker, and the system locking through S2U2. You can't turn the screen off or else playback will stop.
Someone posted a solution for what sounded like the same problem, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4468939&postcount=14
They stated that it is actually caused by S2U2, and there is a setting within the program that will fix your issue.
However, this doesn't fix it for me. Worth a shot to try though, so I know if its just me or not.
You can use ShutXP to turn off just the screen (instead of going into standby) to accomplish your needs. However, this isn't the most ideal solution.
Explained:
It seems that the power button driver doesn't turn the screen off it puts the device into standby. That is why when you try and turn of the screen with the power button ur music turns off. Its just like a computer. If you use psshutxp and use that to specifically turn off the screen the music will continue to play.

Actually, after doing the option mentioned in the other thread, it will still cut off the music if you just press the power button. My solution (which works for me, at least) is while listening to music in the Touch Flo tab, I press start, then enable S2U2 by clicking on its icon. The S2U2 screen then shows up. I tap anywhere on the S2U2 unlock screen (without actually trying to unlock it) THEN I press the power button. Somehow, that's my workaround to keep music playing through the phone speakers while the screen is off.
Hope it works for you.
I have thesame problem. The default WMplayer works even in standby but all other players like coreplayer, pocketmusic, etc stops when I press standby. So what's in WMplayer that made it continue to play even in standby?
If u press the power button to send the phone into standby the music stops. However if u just leave the phone and allow it to enter standby automatically (set at 30 secs for me) it will continue to play the music.
start playing a song, go to menu, options, buttons and set Toggle Screen to a button. Then when you press that button it will turn off the screen. Works on the Fuze..should work on the TP2 as well
Another solution would be to use gyrator2, and create a rule that when running WMP it blanks the screen when turned face-down.
(remember if adding gyrator to a TP2 to disable the "hang up call when turned upside-down" option as that's when speakerphone is supposed to kick in, not hang up the phone!)

my wm does not do this, when i hit the top button in wmplayer it still cuts the music off
since I upgraded to 6.5 the screen will turn off automatically (after the time you've specified in energysettings) and the tf3d audioplayer continues the playback. If I switch of the device the playback will stop, so let the device switch the screen of by itself. At 6.1 the screen always stays activated.
I've got a similar issue and some noob questions:
Regardless of if i have headphones connected or not, WMP stops playing within a few seconds of the screen shutting off. This happens regardless of if I let the screen turn off on its own or if i do it manually.
I went into the power settings page and disabled "turn off device if not used for ".
Now the backlight dims, but the screen never really shuts off (unless you push the power button). WMP works like a champ, but I have a few questions/concerns:
Is the above behavior normal for a completely 'stock' phone?
How bad is that for battery life?
Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing (turning off the screen, but maintaining playback)?
Based on the option in the settings page, im assuming that more then just the LCD turning off is actually occurring when the screen blanks out?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Mine turns off the music whenever I press the power button, whether on WMPlayer or TouchFlo, when playing on the speaker. When I hooked the phone up to external power it does the same. When I hooked it up to external power and to my cars speakers through an FM Transmitter, with the transmitter being plugged into to headphone/lineout jack the music stayed playing.
This is not due only to S2U2...because I did a hard reset...and it still has this issue, without any added hardware on the stock Rom on a Tilt2.
My Samsung Epix with its stock 6.1 Rom never had this problem. Music always stayed playing.
No fix yet?
Dont know if the title makes sense!
Trying to set this up for everyday use now, using Malaysk rom.
Installed poweramp, but noticed that if i am playing the radio, then open poweramp & play something, the radio does not stop.
I have to go back to radio app, then press back button.
Is that normal/correct or is there a way to configure this sort of thing.
Also, when pressing mode button (as configured on SWC), can you choose which apps are cycled through?
It currently goes through things like AVIN, and Video which i do not use.
Another thing (!), i've hads a couple of times when its gone to black screen and i cannot do anything about it, pressing power button just beeps, there is still power as there is illuminated buttons, but just a black screen and only a complete power down using ignition reboots and restores screen.
Think its like when the power button in the top right status bar is pressed (which i also need to disable!)
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions, keen to get this set up nicely now
Took me a bit to find this. You have to use the My Music shortcut not the power amp shortcut. Then setup PowerAmp as your default music player.

Could just find it in MTCmusic I think it was. Playing around with that at the moment, still not quite got things how I want then though, taking me ages this is!
Been playing around with the settings.
Come across another problem
When using Nokia here maps, I can use SWC to skip tracks playing in Poweramp, but when I skip, the Poweramp audio doesn't return until I press a volume up or down button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
actually, its not related to navigation
Noticed it does the same even when in Poweramp app
Skipped forward a track using SWC, then no audio until volume pressed...
anyone?
