Hi all on any of my wm 6.5 phones I could use gps and play music at the same time. When gps was reading instruction like camera warning or directiins it was doing that without mutting music playback. Android mutes the music each time gps wants to pass on message (turn left and the like) is there a way to stop it from doing so?
if you install CM7, there are some extra options in the sound menu that may enable this feature.

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.
Whenever I use google nav and htc music, lastfm, or pandora the music plays until Nav says something. At that point the music stops, i have to switch to the music player, and press play, and go back to Nav. This doesn't work well when i'm driving through neighborhoods and nav is speaking every few seconds. Is there a way to get both the audio from music and google nav to work at the same time without nav pausing the audio?
I know I can mute google nav and the music will continue to play but that means I have to be watching my phone more than i'd like to- safety issue.
Thanks!
I dont think there is a fix for it at the moment. I want to say that it started with the 2.2 update. Beforehand I think the music would start back up automatically.
i can confirm this bug as well. Very Annoying.
yeah no fix for this yet - frustrating as all hell.
you can star the issue on Google code here;

For what it's worth, Bplayer doesn't have this problem. It acts exactly like the stock music player / Pandora etc used to in 2.1 where it just mutes when the Nav is speaking.
I don't know if this helps narrow down the problem or not, but it's how I'm working around the issue.
I just put my nav on mute and listen to the music

Hi,
I'm totally new to Android and Desire peaked my interest. I've used WM and HTC as long as I can remember, but I'm fed up with WM...
However, there is an issue I hope to get some light over:
Is there anyway I can use a non-htc headset (I want in-ear) and use the microphone button and get to remotely control the music player on the Desire?
I have connected mine to the one in a store, 1 Click = start / stop music. 2 clicks voice call or similar. There seems to be no "NEXT SONG" feature.
On my HTC Touch HD I've used a tweak program that takes control over the signal from the headset and instead of doing a voice call - it sends info to music player (HTC proprietary). Worked like a charm, even when locked.
So, please, anyone knowing of a way to get around this? Major issue as I don't want to take phone out of pocket everytime I want to skip a tune...
Thanks
I just recently started using Bluetooth in my car. I use two apps, Navigon for GPS (has stored maps) and Rocket Player (excellent iTunes interface). Previously, when using the headphone jack, I was able to adjust the Media setting to approximately 8 of 15 to achieve a good sound volume balance between the GPS app and the music app. However, for some reason, when I use Bluetooth I'm not able to adjust the Media volume below 10 of 15 without totally losing the GPS sound. Any ideas why that would happen? Is there an app the will allow me to make precise adjustments for both media and the GPS app volumes. I don't want to switch apps; both are the best I've found for my purposes (although, if Google Maps ever actually offered true offline map storage with directions, I'd switch in a second; no data available often where I drive).
Thanks in advance.
Hi!
I have tried two headphones (Sennheiser M2 IEBT and Focal Listen Wireless) and two audio players (Youtube Music and BlackPlayer) and got the same result: after toggling a pause on headset any attempt to resume a playback after a couple of minutes results in nothing. That is Bluetooth control is lost. I'm forced to take a phone, unlock, start player and start playing back.
It is interesting, with Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 I don't have the problem regardless headphones and players: Bluetooth control is kept at any case.
The most performant mode is selected in battery settings. The last official firmware (169) is installed.
Please, help me to resolve this very annoying issue!
I've noticed that when I play media content using a third-party app and then pause it from a Bluetooth device, sometimes that app gets terminated in the background and when I try to resume, it starts playing from the stock EMUI music app instead.
Although I haven't tried this, disabling battery optimisations for your music apps might prevent them from being terminated in the background.
Yes, all battery optimisations for players are disabled. Also, a lock was activated for players on recent apps screen.
I have tried a couple of settings on the developer configuration list (amount of background processes and amount of Bluetooth devices), but was not lucky.
Ok, can you, please, share your experience in having or not-having described problem?
