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.

wow thx so much
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.

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?
i searched around on this forum without luck, for a tool that enables to put my device in standby while playing music without headphones.
I want to be able to push the powerbutton so the sceen goes off. but the music still be playing
I have always done this with my Tilt, never had to do anything special. Did it with 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5.
Try a program called S2P (Slide 2 Play). It keeps playing when the screen turns off.
Look for the keyboard remapper by Tarkim on this board. I have used it to program a button to do just that function. Turns the screen off but leaves the music playing through the speakers.
pocket player allows you to do this as well.
nitrogen does it also. plays while on standby
this creates the option to soft reset, turn phone off, or turn screen off when you click and hold the power button:
is there a cab to keep the music playin while on sleep mode???

The attached cab should clear that up. Copy it to your phone, and run it from there, and your music should stay playing even when the screen is off
It would help if you indicate what program you are using to play music.
If you are using the HTC music player, it should keep playing if you turn of the screen, as long as headphones are plugged in.
I use coreplayer and the one that SirPhunkee posted works very well to keep the music on when screen is off.
sweet! gonna give this a try..I've tried Screen-Off cab or whatever it was called, but it didn't work IIRC..
been listening to Slacker radio while driving, especially at night, now I don't have to keep the phone screen down to avoid the brightness..
Use S2P player
When I'm streaming music from my phone through GMAA, it works great. However, my personal, uploaded files always tend to stop about 2 minutes into each song of where I need to 'wake up' my phone by pressing a volume key or turning on the screen.
I do have it whitelisted on the Battery Optimization settings running stock MM (rooted). Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
