Playing music with backlight off, help please. - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Good morning,
I recall that on WM6 B&B 4.0 i was able to turn off the screen and still be able to hear music or talk on the phone etc...
However and after my upgrade to 4.1 everytime i turnoff the screen the sound, phone etc, will just stop working... is there any way, aka tweak-hack, that will allow me to do this again, or was this a bug that was not suppose to happen??
Thanks in advanced.

do your use Audio Manager Plugin to play the Music?
If so, press a Control Button in the Today Plugin once the Music has started
(i.e. Pause and then Resume)
Then it should work.

Hi
Think you need this screensaver app. Copy to phone then create a shortcut to Today Menu Launch using Total Commander

I tried that, but, music stops, then when i turn the screen on again music resumes from the point it was b4... can anyone add his/her audio plugin for today screen, i upgraded mine to a different version and im afraid its that...

ok i solved it!!!!!
Downloaded this:
http://freedownloadplus.softonic.com/PDA/HTCAudioManager_Softonic.zip
and inside the zip there is a audiomanager.exe substitute for the file inside /windows/ and now there is no need for touching on the today screen, both today and normal program work on standby mode.!!!!!

HTC sense music player problem

I have had my desire for about 2 months now and i allways use it as a mp3 player i have the HTC sense music widget on my home screen and i normally play the music through that and then lock the screen and put it in my pocket but when i tried doing that today music stopped playing and no matter what i do nothing seems to keep the music playing when locked, this has only ever been a problem for me today, does anyone have a clue what to do to fix it?
Installed anything new recently?
Yes but i have deleted everything i have installed since it last worked properly.

Have you installed RemoteVol, by any chance? The app that allows you to change volume from the forward/back keys on your headset?
No i haven't, has anyone else had this?
have you installed a power saving or battery saving app? alot of them auto switch things like that off when the screen is off to save batt power, maybe there are options in settings somewhere to restore it
Nope nothing like that

I think that if you have SpareParts installed, it auto-downloads RemoteVol if you enable that option to change volume via the keys on the stock headset.

[Q] Turn off Screen but keep Media Player Working?

dude..u only need reg.cab name
"keep music playing".
search xda or google..
yeah, it's working for me as well although you cannot skip tracks like you can with iphone unless you install third party software.
did you check your lock setting and make sure you check "lock if playing music"?

Again, not an issue for me. I skip tracks without issue. I use my BT headphones to listen to music while I ride my mountain bike and I have runsat recording my ride going in the background. No issues whatsoever. I have none of the "fixes" mentioned installed, it has always worked fine for me even now that I'm using S2U2.

I'll have to try S2U2.
What's with the skip track thing that's being talked about?
Do you guys mean while the screen is off?
I have the tilt2 and also have this problem. by default, WMP is supposed to keep playing, but only if you let the device suspend on its own. This generally works, but there will be a brief stutter and lag when it first turns the device off.
PocketPlayer is a good 3rd party app that has the option to turn off the screen for uninterupted listening. Playlist management is a bit of a chore with that program, though.

The cab file is inside the zip file along with a bunch of other stuff for modding the S2U2 clock and skins. All you need is the one cab file for the actual S2U2 program. Unzip it to a folder and just copy the cab file to your device and run it. If you don't know how to unzip a file you might want to reconsider modding your phone.
EDIT: Here. I'll make it easy for you. Latest version attached.

BTW did a hard reset...and the issue is still there.
It keeps playing if there's a headset, external speakers, or bluetooth headset that it is playing through....but not through the phone's speakers.

Hey, I never thought to try that since I don't listen to music through the phone speakers. Mine stops when listening that way, too.

My Tilt 2 does the same thing.
Could you just set a quicker "screen off" time in the power settings? Wouldn't that basically accomplish the same thing? It is weird that it will keep playing when the phone goes into standby on its own, but not when you press the power button to turn the screen off.

Actually, it makes sense the way it is. If you are manually turning off the backlight it assumes you want to shut down all functions except the phone.
I found that if I just push the lock button for S2U2 it locks the screen and shuts the screen off at the set time, but allows the music to keep playing. A small hassel, but a work around.
Keep Music Playing
Registry location:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Unattended\
Change Wav1 dword value to a "0"
Then when you have music playing in any program,
tap the power button to put in suspend mode,
and you're good to go.

When it is open press menu and go to options and it will say something about automatic launch, un check that, then if you are rooted get titanium backup and uninstall it from there. Are you having problems with the speaker phone being on every time you make or receive a call? That's my problem and I can't figure out how to stop it.

Me too!!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Assuming you mean Car Panel.
Is it docked? If not, you should probably reflash your ROM and if you are restoring using Titanium Backup, don't restore Car Panel or the system data for it.
Car Panel
my evo cm7 wouldnt charge in my car even though the car panel app came up. i uninstalled it through Titanium Backup and now my phone charges!
My wives EVO is having the same issues. It started on FreshRom, so I switched to MikFroyo, and its doing the same thing. Would flashing a new radio have anything to do with it, because FreshRom was fine until a few days ago?

My friend's phone just started doing this. His USB started bugging out at the same time so I'm thinking the two issues might be related.
i fixd the car home thing!
ok.. for those who are seeing car home annoyingly pop up.. here is my solution.
1. extract the zip file that u use to install the google apps on ur computer.
2. once extracted, delete the car home apk found under system>app> carhomegoogle.apk.
3. once deleted, go to the first sub folder in the extrated folder. ( the folder should have two folders in there called META-INF and system)
4. highlight those folders and create a .zip file.
5. rename it something simple ( gapps may work. since your are replacing the original gapps.zip folder)
6. mount on to the root of ur sd card.
this part might sound a bit extreme but this is the only way to make sure..
7. go to ur phone's recovery, and reinstall cm7 and the new google apps.
thats it.
the key here is to delete the car home app from the zip file. since anything inside cant be tampered with,u must extract it and modify it that way. then remake a new .zip file that does not contain car home.
enjoy.
i am now car home free.
for anyone still having this issue, which just started for me this morning, it seems to be a hardware issue not a Software issue. I could fiddle with my USB jack and it would stop for a few then start back up i am guessing mine is worn down and causing it to send a false call for a car dock.
Just look up "Dock no-op" on the market that fixed it for me.
Titanium back up works well too. It's also faster and easier in my opinion.

Hi, while I was playing youtube last night I accidentally opened the slider. The audio kept playing. Due to this I now think that it is the Screen that turns off when the slider is opened.

U should install new rom. Maybe it will solve your problems

If there is a problem with the slide cable it can do this. That said, I absolutely hate that my phone unlocks itself when I slide it!
I resetted the settings and now the phone screen turns off by itself!

On September 19, the Deezer update came out. Try uninstalling it first and installing it from scratch.

Hi @ze7zez
Same issue with outdated version...
Open in the app settings and disable battery usage optimization and allow background activity.
Does this help?
