[Q] Turn off Screen but keep Media Player Working?

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.

VERY odd... varios system sounds are now inaudible...

I noticed this earlier today and it's driving me NUTS!! Various system sounds (so far I've found the dialing tone, lock/unlock click, and default keyboard sounds) all of a sudden are practically inaudible. I can hear them but only if I hold the speaker up to my ear while dialing, typing, etc. All volume levels are turned up all the way like I always have them, what gives?!? I'm very confused by this...

Possibly blown speakers? Have you tried music?
Swyped from my sexy EVO.

are you sure your system volume is up? You can check it with Audio Manager.

Uhh yeah like I said, all volume levels are ALL the way up.

Nope not blown as ringtones, etc. come through the speaker just fine.

You running stock? Try a reset/clean flash?

Yes everything is stock and I'm trying to avoid the obvious (resetting the phone)
Are all of these things y'all have suggested not obvious to the average user? I don't mean to be rude in the least but I always try several things to fix an issue before I seek out help...

haha. you may be surprised sometimes Always got to cover all the bases.
I have no idea what's causing you issues, but I experience something sort of simlar, and have yet to figure it out. I don't use any audio feedback or lockscreen unlock sounds or anything like that. My ringer and notifications always work fine. The thing for me that is odd, is my boot animation sound. No matter what sound I use, it plays halfway through EXTREMELY loud, and then it suddenly cuts to about 1/3 the volume that it started playing at. It's random, and doesn't happen every time, but definitely enough for me to notice. I have no idea what causes it, but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same type of issue.

Download an app called audio manager. Your system volume got stuck down and won't go up without that type of app, since we cannot change it in settings.

+1 same thing happened to me and that was the only way i could fix it

AudioManager allows you to change the system sound settings, which is otherwise impossible via the standard Android interface. That solved my problem.

[Customizing Sounds] Is this file in system/media/audio/ui?

Is there a file called LG_Cable_Disconnect.ogg in system/media/audio/ui?
Was replacing sounds in my phone and I wasn't sure if there was a sound effect for a cable disconnecting. I know there's one for when it connects, but was there one that played when you unplug it?

There is not in mine.
BUT... I am on AT&T, so there is a small chance it is different.

Speaking of sound changing, only a handful of sounds seem to be actually working when replacing files. LG_Cable_Connect.ogg, and PowerOn.ogg are the only ones I've tested that seem to work. PowerOff.ogg isn't playing (despite my music app being able to play it if I open it directly from the folder) while Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg seem to be completely ignored, with the phone playing the default lock and unlock sounds despite those files being deleted already. All of the files are set to 644. Anyone wanna try seeing if these guys can be edited?
On a side note, I figured out it was the volume sound I deleted. could someone please locate the volume sound and give me the name to see if I can customize it please?
In fact, would someone be so kind as to give all the file names so I can double check that I got the names correctly? I stupidly didn't make a backup of them before deleting and replacing.

so far ive only changed poweroff and poweron and they both worked for me. as for the volume sound i cant seem to find it. do you remember what it was named?

I could be wrong, I just remember seeing a volume sound in there and think I deleted it without adding my own custom sound to replace it, but perhaps my memory has failed me.

only file with the word volume in it is a 30 second clip of a song.
here are all the files in UI and the .ogg i was talking about

Yeah, that's the volume file. Too bad it isn't actually the volume beep. What the hell is that file used for then? Anyway, I managed to get PowerOff to work by making it into PowerOff_Sprint (which is odd considering I didn't need PowerOn_Sprint for the opposite to work). Lock sounds will still not play for me though, they just play stock lock and unlock noises despite them not being in the folder anymore. Perhaps they're located in a different folder?

I just checked and we have a LG_Cable_Connect.ogg but no disconnect sound (sprint). Unrelated, but it appears that we have some....interesting... bloat sound files in /system/sounds/lgeSounds.

Has anyone been able to change the lock and unlock sounds successfully?

Now that I've got my lgog, I am also trying to disable some of the sounds, but am having no luck finding the right files to rename/delete/etc. Has anyone else been able to find the right files?

What I was most trying to figure out where the lock / unlock sounds, not realizing that there was an actual menu option for those. Found it and now I shall hang my head in shame for asking before really looking deeply.

Volume boost?

Anyone come up with a volume hack for headphones? On the g2 you could edit the mixerpaths file. Im rooted without twrp and tried that and got stuck in a nice bootloop and had to push the stock rom thru adb to get back up. Once i get twrp i can run thru some settings. Just wondering if anyone else is bummed out by this low volume.

I can say my phone don't need volume boost. Phone sounds great. Have to turn it down. Sounds way better than note 3

The speaker is fine. Although I wish it could go up by one or two when I'm listening through headphones.

Ooops yea edited my post to reflect that im talking about headphone volume.

I had a chance to play YouTube on G3 through speaker.
The speaker is nice if it's not louder than S3.

I'll take a crack at it. I'm at work now but ill see if i can figure it out in the am

Partially hijacking this thread, but does anybody know if there's a hidden way to disable the safe volume warning every time I plug in my headset? This is the most annoying thing on this phone, especially if I do a quick travel to n from lunch and work, I have to keep pressing the volume button again n again. I know most likely it's baked into the ROM, but maybe someone knows something.
OP, you sure this is not the problem you're facing? At first I thought I had gone all the way on the volume, but I realized I had to press it again to boost the volume to the max.

Nah I wish. I just like really loud music. The phone is capable of doing much higher levels with a few slight tweaks. I'm sure for most its loud enough.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, G3 Tweaksbox has this option. It is under sound tweaks. Then check "Disable Safety Headset Volume"

I tried the V4A version and I must say it did make a bit of a difference in sound boost but one of the main things I use the headphones for at times is making phone calls. When I tried to make a call the volume of the call still sounded low. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have Sirius radio installed and you tube and sound on both definitely improved a bit. I wanted to try the other method by modifiying the path files but I heard some issues causing boot loops and it pretty much scared me away. I'm also still trying to figure out how to install TWRP on my LG G3 since I rooted it manually, I can't figure out how to get it on my device. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Finaly got TWRP on my device.

It's not a problem with the phones volume control but with your hearing ability.
I had hearing tests done last year at the clinic and they said I had very good sense of hearing... kind of a weird thing. Anyways, I can get it to about 75% volume and it's extremely loud. Any more than that is painful.

System Media Files

Can anyone confirm that it's safe to rename or delete files in system\media\audio\ui?
I want to disable the sounds made when either plugging into the charger or starting a wireless charge.
Don't want to risk a bootloop by playing with system files though.
I've done this on other phones, so probably ok, but just want to see if anyone has done this safely on a G3 yet.

Ok, I trusted you and confirmed. Renamed the wireless charging one to .bak and rebooted. Came up fine and no wireless charging sound anymore.
Will this prevent an OTA from completing or will the file be restored on an OTA or will an OTA complete and not restore the file?

Ok, now I'm really confused. I actually tested that it didn't play the wireless charging sound before I rebooted. Now that I've rebooted, it plays the sound again when I put the phone on the wireless charger, but the file is still renamed.
What's going on?

Ok, I figured out why disabling WirelessChargingStarted.ogg doesn't stop the sound from playing. Because it's not the sound that plays when it connects to the Qi charger. I don't think it's any of the sounds in system\media\audio\ui
So where is the file it does play?

Bump. Anyone know?

I don't actually know this...because I don't have a LG phone. But you might be able to disable this in your build.prop file, or in bools.xml in your framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk.
I know that, on my Sony rom, there are all kinds of settings there that I can change.
It's worth a look.

Renaming the .ogg files is certainly safer!

I figured it out in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/wireless-charging-sound-notigfication-t2849851
\system\media\audio\notifications\crystal.ogg is the sound that plays when connecting to a wireless charger.
Why the system places that file and not wirelesschargingstarted.ogg is beyond me, but that's what it does.
Rename or delete that file and it won't play the sound when connecting to a Qi charger anymore. If you still want to use that notification for something else, just copy it into sdcard\notifications first and it'll be available as a custom notification.
Yes, I had no intention of playing with build.prop to address this issue. Way too risky for me.
