Anyway to turn the screen off, with the power button, but keep music playing?
Tried it with the touchflo3D player and the windows media player...both turn off the music when I try to turn the screen off...
Anyone else have this problem?
I have pocketshied installed...so not sure if this is a phone prob or pocketshield is causing it to happen...it still happens whether pocketshield is on or not though...
Thanks
I have never had this problem on my Tilt 2. Is this a TP2 only issue?

dude..u only need reg.cab name
"keep music playing".
search xda or google..
yeah, it's working for me as well although you cannot skip tracks like you can with iphone unless you install third party software.
did you check your lock setting and make sure you check "lock if playing music"?

Again, not an issue for me. I skip tracks without issue. I use my BT headphones to listen to music while I ride my mountain bike and I have runsat recording my ride going in the background. No issues whatsoever. I have none of the "fixes" mentioned installed, it has always worked fine for me even now that I'm using S2U2.

I'll have to try S2U2.
What's with the skip track thing that's being talked about?
Do you guys mean while the screen is off?
I have the tilt2 and also have this problem. by default, WMP is supposed to keep playing, but only if you let the device suspend on its own. This generally works, but there will be a brief stutter and lag when it first turns the device off.
PocketPlayer is a good 3rd party app that has the option to turn off the screen for uninterupted listening. Playlist management is a bit of a chore with that program, though.

The cab file is inside the zip file along with a bunch of other stuff for modding the S2U2 clock and skins. All you need is the one cab file for the actual S2U2 program. Unzip it to a folder and just copy the cab file to your device and run it. If you don't know how to unzip a file you might want to reconsider modding your phone.
EDIT: Here. I'll make it easy for you. Latest version attached.

BTW did a hard reset...and the issue is still there.
It keeps playing if there's a headset, external speakers, or bluetooth headset that it is playing through....but not through the phone's speakers.

Hey, I never thought to try that since I don't listen to music through the phone speakers. Mine stops when listening that way, too.

My Tilt 2 does the same thing.
Could you just set a quicker "screen off" time in the power settings? Wouldn't that basically accomplish the same thing? It is weird that it will keep playing when the phone goes into standby on its own, but not when you press the power button to turn the screen off.

Actually, it makes sense the way it is. If you are manually turning off the backlight it assumes you want to shut down all functions except the phone.
I found that if I just push the lock button for S2U2 it locks the screen and shuts the screen off at the set time, but allows the music to keep playing. A small hassel, but a work around.
Keep Music Playing
Registry location:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\ Unattended\
Change Wav1 dword value to a "0"
Then when you have music playing in any program,
tap the power button to put in suspend mode,
and you're good to go.

BT doesn't work currently on the RHOD. Hopefully soon, just don't hold your breath.
This isn't meant to replace WinMo at this stage. Read, have fun with it, read some more... Pretty much every single major issue has been reported.
..........
I want to contribute to this thread, I am a longtime user of Android on the TP2, I donated to the project when we got sound working.
Basically, I am keeping my fingers crossed for bluetooth to be the next working feature. I can get by without the camera, and the power management, for me at least is fine because I can plug my phone in all the time.
However, my job requires me to be on a bluetooth headset a lot, especially while driving, so that is my only hangup for not using Android 24/7 .
I will reiterate.
This isn't meant to replace WinMo at this stage (maybe never). Don't expect it to be able to.

I have more issues with WinMo than I do with Android, it has replaced WinMo for me personally. The only time I run WinMo is if I need a hands free device.

When it's fixed? Until someone with the knowledge steps up and takes the time to troubleshoot it...
Problem is, devs are just like us - they want to work on things that interest them. So until BT is a priority for a dev, it won't get a lot of attention. Seems a lot of focus right now is on framebuffer/graphics performance and battery life (panel init).
There was a lot of work on the camera as well, not sure where that stands - someone was able to get a functional preview on their phone tho.
Basically if you don't have the knowledge to fix it, don't ask when it's going to be fixed. These things don't just happen... Someone has to work at it to get it up and running.
New XDAndroid user, first time poster,
I've been searching through all these threads like mad, and I've discovered that there is NOT, nor is there likely ever to be, a BT working build for Rhodium. I get that, and view the XDAndroid builds as a godsend anyway. Android kicks WinMo's ass, BT or no.
I've also found that there's a buggy headset workaround (that I haven't gotten working yet) but I plan to keep trying. My question is (and I keep searching the threads but I can't find it answered) - does the headset workaround let you use a wired headset to make phone calls? I mean can I both hear and speak through the headset?
Thanks!

Kinda OT for this thread, but try it out - let us know if it does work. I want to say it does, but I don't have a wired headset to test with.
I also never meant to give the impression that BT will never work. Just that it's not actively being worked on (to my knowledge) and won't really get the attention it deserves until a lot of the other work going on right now settles down. It's one of those things, devs work on what they want to work on... sure it sounds selfish but they're doing this for their own personal interest - not because someone else really wants the feature.
So that's the unfortunate truth. Until a dev takes an interest in fixing BT, it's not going to get fixed. Either you can gripe about it not working (which really isn't useful, and I'm not saying you are or you're the only one complaining....), or jump in and try to help!
Doesn't sound selfish at all. Devs needs to do what they're interested in doing. Devs donate their time and skills for fun and for the good of this community, not for some guy who complains that they didn't magically turn his winmo phone into a fully functional android. You want android, buy an android. Anyone who complains about the lack of BT doesn't get this.
Still can't get the damn headset working, but that's my issue. I'll keep reading and working on it.

if you want the headset to work, put "snd.force_headset=X" into the startup file and replace the x with a 1 for the usb headset and a 2 for the 3.5mm headset. After that, go to you phone in wm and call your voice mail with the headset in the phone. While still in the call, boot into android. It should work for music but i haven't tested calling. Unfortunately, if you do this, then the speaker wont work.

Thanks kdub! I've been trying this with 3.5mm headphones, but can't seem to get it working. What's weird is, every time I go back to the startup.txt the snd.force_headset=2 line is gone, and I know I put it within the quotes.
It may have something to do with the advanced settings I put in when I boot XDAndroid. The startup.txt also seems to be different depending on those features, so maybe it rewrites it or something?

If you use the startup utility, it will rebuild your startup.txt every single time. I think there's a checkbox somewheres in there to enable a manual startup.txt...

Ah, I suspected as much. Will report back if I get this thing working...
Success! Thanks everyone. By the way, by using this workaround and a cheap piece of hardware called a Bluetooth Adapter (Cardo BTA II), I was able to get Bluetooth on my Rhodium with XDAndroid running. Awesome!
Edited to clarify - the headset workaround DOES work both ways, so you get audio out and audio in.

Ha, I guess those that really need BT now have a workaround... even if it does involve an additional piece of hardware, haha. Seem actual BT is just around the corner (no promises )
Sounds good but on my rhod100_de i'm not able to activate bluetooth. When i hit it in the settings it only grays out, says "Activating..." for some time and than goes back to previous view (white text and not checked). So there seems to be a little more work for me . I think in about a half year we have a real good android running on our Devices and can kick winmos ass
@Bieka
Nobody said that BT is working. He used an "Klinke Bluetooth Adapter". ^^
Is an app that can change volume based on time of day possible on Windows Phone 7? If not, is it possible with root access? Basically and app like Timerrific for android. If still not, will it be possible with Windows Phone 8?
Thank you.

I've been asking if there are even APIs available for volume control. My reason is for an alarm. I generally keep my system volume between 8-10, just loud enough to be effective but quiet enough to not be disturbing. Unfortunately, this leaves a low volume for important reminders and alarms.
Hi, if thinking of upgrading to this phone from a galaxy s3.
I just wondered can I press the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket through the material.
That way I can skip my music and change radio stations without getting my phone out.
Thanks, Tim.
Yes there's no reason why you couldn't. This is assuming you get used the position of the back buttons.

Yeah, you can press the buttons through clothing
But correct me if I'm wrong, isn't track skipping with volume keys an ROM feature?
I have yet to see it on stock LG G3 but I haven't really searched for it either, I also don't use anything xposed either so I can't search in there

Correct, well actually you can do it with xposed and g3 tweaks box. If you wanted to root its a simple fix, but it doesn't exist in the stock ROM.
Thanks for your help. I usually use poweramp and spirit fm radio. I know the radio one has the option to skip in the settings, but my s3 is rooted anyway.

Works brilliantly, I live in UK, and have to use the quick short maker app, must have for stock roms
Installed them all, played about with them all, only one I kinda like is the recent apps one, but even that I'm beginning to get a bit sick of now, pretty much the same experience of when I tried it on either my S5 or S7, that also got uninstalled very quickly

The new task changer is so good. If you quickly switch between the 2 recent apps by quickly double tapping there's no lag whatsoever. Old version had a little hiccup!

Yea I liked it too but my muscle memory has gotten used to swiping left/right to clear recent apps and was constantly doing that instead of swipe up/down, so have reverted back
Think I'm stuck in my ways tbh, at least with Samsung, same reason I cannot think of anything I would like to use the Bixby button for, so it just sits there useless, maybe with a different manufacturer's phone I could change my habits

Use bxactions!! I use it and if you give it increased control just by following the instructions (involves plugging into computer). It's so good because I've programmed it to launch google assistance, pause music, flightlight etc.

It's pretty buggy if you don't give it full control or whatever its called. Involves plugging in computer and executing a file on phone. Cause otherwise it launches bixby for a split second and is pretty annoying. And for the flashlight, sure you don't need it all the time but it dos have its uses once in a while. The better features for me is pause music, skip song and importantly launch google assistant instead of bixby

Yea I executed that file with adb and the phone connected originally, I set it up via the instructions but it wanted to do something other than I told it to
The button is just in an awkward place for me, I press it whenever I pick up the phone, or press the power button, they've placed it in such a position that they get a load of stats saying it's being used 10x more than it really is due to accidental presses, similar to when Microsoft changed the X close button to OK Accept for upgrading to 10 and claimed it was a mistake
Above the volume up or above the power key would have been a better place, somewhere you only press it when you mean to
If I map it for flashlight or anything else I'm gonna get sick of constantly accidentally launching whatever I map it to
Maybe in 12 months when the novelty of a new phone has worn off I`ll start playing about with it but quite happy to have it do nothing atm
I never had the chance to try this on my S7, so it's a breath of fresh air on my S9. Trying everything now to see what I'll keep. So far the lockscreen options are nice indeed.

Hopefully it will be, it's a good app, best for custom without root, the other apps are good also, the newer edge lighting has more effects, and also a routine app, one handed mode + and edge touch which I not used yet.
Thanks for the links! After installing all the apps I found that I preferred the way Samsung gave me my device!
However I've still retained one hand operation +, edge lighting plus and quickstar. The rest of the apps didn't seem to attract me much.
Thanks again!
Cheers!
