Hi there,
has anyone an idee to switch off the display while windows media player is running? My problem is, that I can switch it off. But when I click the next title on my RC E100 the display automaticly switch on.
On XDA Diamond it isn't so.
So has anyone an idee? Is there an update for the WMP?

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?

Windows Media Player Music:
If you play music using the integrated WMP - power management will not work as expected - Display light will never turn off. Still the same if you press the home button during playback.
If you lock your device during playback, backlight will be dimmed but remains on.
--> Your battery will be empty very shortly if you use your device as MP3 Player.
Windows Media Player Video:
First - landscape registry key still works.
But if you play a video in fullscreen mode you can do this only for a few seconds before it switches back to normal skin mode.
--> You cannot really view any video on your device
Please, can anyone confirm this.
Are these known bugs for HTC which are be fixed in the final release?
Are there any workarounds?
I confirm this bugs, i have Wm6 HTC Test ROM to, and the WMP have this problems.
I use now the Audio Manager and Pocket Player software.
Regards
what about using TCPMP?
do you have the same problems with it?
It's a WMP player bug inside the current HTC pre-release of WM6.
TCPMP works like expected.
confirm bug, but the battery is not so terrible..
1.) Install RUU_Excalibur_HTC_RUS_1.24.411.1_4.1.13
2.) Change Language to US
3.) Do not dock your device
4.) Start WMP and play a song
--> Backlight never will turn off
5.) Press the HOME button
--> Backlight still remains on
6.) LOCK your device
--> Backlight will be dimmed
I can reconstruct this bug very easily on 3 devices following exactly the steps above. If this doesn't happens on your device please let us know what's different.

If I use my device as MP3 player and do not lock the device --> the battery will be empty in less than 2 hours. (Full backlight - always on)
If you lock it the battery will be empty in less than 5 hours (Backlight dimmed).
So from my point of view this is a terrible bug.
using audio manager saves the day
Audio Manager Bug.... when anounce names are kept on.. the ring for mobile rings for just 2-3 secs.....
announce names is what?

has anyone found a fix for this yet?
bug fix?
Anyone have a solution to the wmp backlight problem yet? I mainly use wmp because it allows me to use my stereo bluetooth headset buttons to control the music, and works best when making calls using ms voice command.

HTC S621, WM6, WMP 10.3 comp 17745
Problem:
When playing video im FULL SCREEN, this return to normal size in 10 seconds.
I have tried set landscape=0, dont work.
Is codec? bug? How fix ?
Hi,
I understand that the w100 got a pile of bad reviews. I was just wondering if anyone had used the E100 with the artemis (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=150193) and did it work?
Can someone explain what the problems were with the w100 please? I understand it worked with media player but was this only if the screen was turned on? Does the E100 work with any other media players?
Thanks
I'm using a W100 I bought on eBay and it's working very well. I use the embedded HTC Music player without problems (custom rom for my P3300). The player by default turns off screen instead of turning off the PDA, I don't think a program can run with the PDA turned off completely...
Didn't know about the E100, but W100 works flawlessly with HTC Audio Player and Windows Media Player. I think Coreplayer has a plugin for the remote, but I haven't tested it.
I use the E100 - And it works too.
My Problem is: When I listen to my music and the display turns off and I klick on the E100 for the next title for example, the displays turns on. Has anyone an idea, why? Or how I can turn it off? At the diamond there isn't this problem...
You could use for example S2U2 to lock the screen
Hi there, I'm new to this site, so sorry if i'm being a noob here but I have a touch hd and the screen doesnt seem to go off when the media player is playing music on loudspeaker, is there a way to rectify this.
Thanks
Dave
it dont know if there is a app for this but u can only turn it of if you are listening in your headphones
ok thanks, I eventually got pocket player.
Dave
AFAIK it does this because putting the device to sleep would turn off the loudspeaker so the screen must remain on.
