A2DP: poweroff -> music stops!

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:

I'd like to know how it works on your hardware.

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....

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"

Well, that's what was said here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms884944.aspx
And I could just check it.
Prophet and wizard don't have that problem (I had 4 prophet and the author of the thread had a wizard) so they don't need any trick..

AUDIO MANAGER (Touchflo3d) CAN'T WORK TURNING OFF DEVICE??

On my old but great TYTN2 audio manager used to work with device off... saving battery...

tnx in advance..

Er. . nothing. Mine plays quite happily with the screen off

Mine doesn't I was playing music through bluetooth to the car and screen goes off and media player stops playing until I hit the power button again (I need to find out what the app name is of the media player as well so I can add it as an exception into slide to unlock)

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 =(

It's the HTC media player (one on the tab) you don't happen to know the actual file name that is run when you select it from the tab do you?

I have the same problem with TouchFLo Music tab... power button and stop music!

I have the same problem with the built in player - Core player & Pocket music player although that freezes & generally is unstable - dunno why it was perfect on my X1.

I have a small problem (I don't think I had it before)!
when I put Music tab from TouchFlo playing and press power button the sound stops!
does it happens to you? how can I solve it?
thanks

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

Possible to Play mp3 in TouchFLO with screen off?

I wonder if possible cuz I want to save battery
Whenever I press the power button when playing music, the music stop. I have tried to play music and wait for the screen goes off itself but it stay on forever.

i want to know it too,
btw the backlight wont turn off automatically coz the device status is "used" while media playback

Hi
There is an answer to what you want, it called Nitrogen Player.
The Player is really (really) good as a solid MP3 player and it has a function button on-screen to turn off the display and keep playing, excellent for the battery and putting in the pocket while listening to your MP3's.
The proggy is free and is something I use all the time on my TP2, full credit to the developer.
Get it here:

Hope this helps.

I am actually using the coreplayer which also have the ability to turn off the screen while playing.
But thx anyway

Touchflo3d : plug in headphones or a headphones based accessory and it will let you turn off the screen while still playing.

Music Player (TF3D tab)

Hi all,
is there a way to change the music player so that you can turn the screen off but the music will continue to play?
Thanks
Ryan

You mean while playing through the speakers? Because it already does that if you are using headphones.

Hi, yes I should have clarified that - through the speakers.

ahhhh....that's what it is...i had this issue last night but couldn't figure out why it cut off when in the past i kept playing...thanks for the clarification...

get a program called shutxp...when u bring it up it has 3 options...turn off, soft reset, and screen off....the screen off option does exactly what u are asking for

I have the same issue. I use s2u2 as a lock application. I start the music on the speakers and then i lock the screen using s2u2 and not the power button. S2u2 will turn off the screen after 10 seconds and the music keeps playing. I set up s2u2 in such a way that it doesn't kill the power when the screen is off.

Yeah, it was confusing for me too. I couldn't figure out what has happening until I read a post on XDA. Don't really see a reason why the behavior would be different for speakers versus headphones.

headset next track without waking up phone?

I bike with my phone in the pocket and use headset for listening songs. Everytime i double click headset button, it next track the song but also wake up the phone. Then i usually ended up calling people like crazy. Anyone know if there are settings or player or headset control which can control songs without waking up the phone?
Many thanks.

What are you using to listen to music? I know a long press volume up on Pandora skips to the next sing and I don't think it wakes the phone.

hi
I flashed with Xenon HD rom and using apollo player.

well it wakes the phone but only to the lock screen... how is it unlocking and then hitting the phone then dialing?
Also, on stock 4.1.1 with Google Play Music, double click headset skips tracks and doesn't wake or unlock the phone.
