As described in the title. Is there a way to make this soft keep working AFTER I switch off the scren?
Any ideas much appreciated!
Many players will only continue playing with screen off, if you have headphones connected to the 3.5mm or probably also a bluetooth headset (don't have one).
There's an option in the menus somewhere that allows the screen to turn off automatically after a period of time - 30 second, 60 or whatever, which you set - and the music will continue to play. But you're right, you can't manually turn it off.
I always turn it of manually and it keeps playing. I have deactivated the automatic display turn off.
Can you play music in loud speaker with screen turned off .. i read somewhere that you can ... but when i switch off the screen it doesn't play though .. any ideas how you could do that ?

There is an option to prevent it from stop playing when screen is off.
I forgot where....
Now i use coreplayer as i found it better
it's easy. you must to turn off in energy option (star-configuartion-screen) the option "turn off screen after..."
for automatical screen off use S2U
It'snt a probleme with the soft...but with your rom
It'snt a probleme with your phone...for exemple with miri 14 wm6.5 i can play any media with all players when i turn off my screen, it's the same with my bluetooth headset...but with another rom PDAviet for exemple i can play with my screen off....pleaz excuz me for my english...tell me if it that...

One thing I miss about my sony clie is the ability to 'lock' the screen during playback.Is there a similar solution for the blue angel?
You can turn the screen off with most music-player applications during playback, but I am not aware of any utility that will enable you to keep the screen on, but non-responsive to input, if that's what you mean.

Someone kindly posted the .cab for an application called screenLock that turns the screen off, locks all the buttons but still allows you to play MP3's etc (it's also perfect when you have bluetooth on for avoiding connection probs!). If you do a search you should find it.
Search for ScreenLock.cab
...or I'll post it here! :wink:
I couldn't live without this program!!! It turns the screen off and locks all the buttons. The only way to unlock the screen is to press button 1 and button 4 together (on the XDAIIs this is the Calender and messaging buttons) or do a soft reset.
This program is perfect for listening to music and also save battery life too.
The cab file is attached below. Drag it to your device and run it from there.
Hope this helps.

Someone please enlighten me how do you use Audio Manger or the Today Plugin player in the latest VM6 roms?
They seem useless since there is no way to turn off the screen!??
Do all of you play listen with the screen and backlight on?
There's quite some design flaws in WM6, off course I would like audio to keep playing when using the standby button, or at least have that option!?
In WMP you can at least assign a key to turn off/on screen.
Look at iPhone, offcourse it continues to play music when using the standby button, as it should be.
M$ has a LOT of work to make VM7 user friendly.

use Coreplayer or TCPMP
I "device lock" it after i press play. There's a device lock program that automatically sets the backlight to be off after 10 secs when executed.
I just set my backlight to turn off as well, used my device playing through audiomanager for about an hour today at work, screen off.

But screen and backlight is still on sucking battery even when using the keylock when Audio Manager is playing. Screen is dimmed a litte but backlight is still on. I can't understand how poorly designed theese apps are from HTC.
Armstrongs Device lock
Search the site for it. It can be configured to turn the screen off when activated. You can also map a button to it. I haven't tried on WM6 though. Worked like a charm with Pocket player and WM5.
not sure if you guys notice...but audio manger lets you make your ringtones right from the phone. this is a nice feature for me...as i use to make my ring tones using nero onthe computer...now when someone emails me a song i can edit it right on my phone for ringtone use...i like that alot. other than that...it looks nice..but i still use media player or core player. but hey...one more app can't hurt...
hi all! I've been wondering ever since receiving my TP2, how can I set it so that the device resumes from standby/lock mode to the last screen that was active? Right now, it seems to restores only to the today tab.
For e.g. if I am using Notes and switch the device to standby using the on/off button, turning it back on takes me to today tab...
this question has just been asked in another thread called "Restore last tab after standby".
I have checked this issue for you and it does not account for me. When I switch of my TP when in, FI, Coreplayer and switch it on again, it still displays Coreplayer, or whatever app that was open before going into standby.
hhmmm thanks. it seems to be related to the lock function...

Any way to stop this.. I used the registry to stop it from waking up due to my magnetic case.. i have the notifications to make a noise and flash the led... i dont want it to come out of standby to tell me about an upcoming appt (the dismiss/snooze notice) cause i keep pocket running apps or pocket dialing my sense 2.5 front shortcuts!
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event: Reminders > uncheck "Display message on screen."
I hope that solves the problem!
thanks! i will try that and get back to you
UPDATE: damn... this doesnt work... for "reminders" in settings/notifications i only have flash light, play sound, and vibrate selected and the screen/phone wakes up/resumes and if it had been in my pocket or whatever i'd be calling people.. any other ideas?

Sorry about that. I just noticed myself right now that my phone woke up for a reminder.
Hmm... I don't know, but I think you should get a working screenlocker. I use TouchLockPro (now you can use your zoombar as an unlock bar). I set it up so that when the screen wakes, the phone instantly locks.
If you decide to use TouchLockPro, the settings are a little hard to understand (I followed the Settings instructions in the developer's website). If you need help with the settings, or if you want an example of my settings, feel free to PM me.
try this ..
warlock...thanks for that cab.. but it didnt work...at least not for calendar reminders.. i will test it on txt msgs as that would help as well
sumflipnol: thanks.. i guess i will have to look into screen locks.. its just annoying cause im fine with the "screen lock except for power button" behavior of winmo.. but if it could just stay asleep for the reminders (other than the sound/led/vibrate options) it'd be perfect
ill let you know if that locking program works out for me
hold down the end button
locks the screen wont but dial or open apps when the screen wakes up

I believe you're referring to the default Windows Mobile SmartLock (auto-lock). I have that on my phone, and it's not very reliable. My phone sometimes wakes up on my desk, and I notice that Sense2.5 is active (SmartLock obviously failed to auto-launch the WM screenlock). From my week-long experience with TouchLockPro, the screen locks immediately without that small lag, and it's very consistent.
There must be a way!
I'd like to ressurrect this thread to see if anyone has any further ideas.
I also prefer to just use the power-button method of putting my phone into standby rather than mess around with screen locks or anything.
I've disabled wake-up-on-SMS. But it still wakes up whenever there's a reminder for an appointment.
Surely there's a way to stop this behaviour!....
It's an open question, so far...
As many of you, I would like to disable the device wake up for reminders. Same as you, I just want the sound and / or light notification for them.
I've been searching WEB, all XDA forum and my phone registry but I haven't found anything useful for reminders, just for SMS.
The same issue has been posted in other places (for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615633) but there's no final answer yet.
Definitely, lock screen is not enough, because if the device wakes up and the screen turns on, it can keep on for a long time (caused by the screen being pressed because the phone movement inside the pocket) and battery drains very fast.
Anyone using TouchLockPro or PocketShield?
What are your impressions, pros/cons?
Thanks
Touch lock pro is really good but i removed it because some major features weren't working, maybe its just the ROM i used. But its great!
I was using s2u2, but kept having issues, probably has more to do that I don't use a stock rom, versus the program, but I switched to pocket shield and have no issues with it. I don't use all the features, just mainly the screen lock.

hmm good to know...I was about to ask about S2U2 too...it looks great...but I was reading the threads on it and it seams like issue after issue that people are talking about...maybe just the users/roms/or devices...idk
I downloaded the trial version of Pocket Shield...which you can use for 10 days before having to buy it.
Noticed some issues...probably things that just I would notice ...
(1) It enables the ability to select Repeat...under settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications>Reminders [I thought this was great...since this feature disappeared after WM 2003]
(2) in the same area...under Voicemail, Missed Call, and Text Messages you can now enable "flash light"...although these options are no available for New MMS...or ...New E-mail...or Reminders
(3) When Reminders go off...the light flashes anyways...until you dismiss or snooze... [I thought this was annoying cause I usually associate LEDS with missed e-mail, text, voicemail, not reminders...]
(4) You have some boost alarm options....where you can choose snooze options....this is basically an alarm to tell you have unchecked e-mail, text, voicemail, reminders etc... BUT the SNOOZE options don't actually work...this seams to never stop...just keeps going and going...even after the reminders and all missed calls are answered :x Edit:OK, so apparently...when this alarm goes off on the lock screen...you click on the item on the lock screen, then slide the screen...where the snooze options are revealed! yaay! ...but no dismiss button :X Ok, figured this out. For Boost alarm options you have a time setting for when you want it to work, plus you can check what you want it to work for, mine kept going off because I had it checked to go off as long as there was something on "today & tomorrow's Agenda" haha oops
(5) After a call...the screen locks...even if this feature is turned off on pocketshield...
(6) strange thing...i think is a feature of pocket shield...that we can't control...the phone screen turns off when you hold the phone up to your ear...even if the feature..."protect screen during call" is off....sortof like the iphone proximity sensor...not sure if our phone already did this...but I don't remember it doing this...before....
...if anyone knows that this is a normal feature...and how to turn it off...that would be great...
(7) For some dumb reason...the TouchFlo3D Slide to Unlock Screen is gone again....and it has defaulted back to the old WM Unlock...if I hold End key down....yaay! (sarcasm) ...this happened strangly the other day too...without this program...and I had to hard reset to get it back :x
(8) No clue why...but after a call...the phone decided to vibrate without stopping...until I pulled out the battery....when i turned it back on ...it went back to vibrating...but stopped after it finished booting...no clue why this happened...but it only took place once...wasn't a reoccurring problem
maybe this is all happening because it isn't the full version...idk...I thought it would be full...just minus access to the skins and it would just disable in 10 days...but idk...
This is all on my stock Rom too....which is nuts
Another annoyance...when you hit the power button...it turns of any media player you had running...so you can't turn the screen of and play music at the same time...unless plugged into external power.
I found that I can turn the screen off...and keep the media player running if I push the PocketSheild Lock button...this gives you the option to turn the screen off...or go to the lock screen...which will turn the screen off too and keep the media player running.
Major annoyance...should just be able to hit the power button and have the screen turn off and lock...with the media player still playing...what if I want to save battery by turning my screen off while listening to music...or put the phone in my pocket with headphones...

Yeah, I don't fault S2U2, it's a good program. I hear from a lot of people that use it and like it, but I was having issues. It's funny to show iPhone drones the S2U2 lock screen with the battery showing (the default iPhone screen?), and they say "hey, when did you get an iPhone" swipe it unlocked, and they say you can't have iphone on a windows phone LOL....priceless.

at least people don't mistake your phone with a nokia,
it's driving me crazy
I used TouchLockPro for a long while. Generally, I like it. I locks well and the unlock with light feature is great.
Recently, the unlock with light feature was added to PhoneAlarm. I use and like PhoneAlarm, so I just updated and now have a single program with my alarm profiles and screeen locking plus a slide to unlock. Handy.
