Download Coreplayer. It lets you put your device on standby while listing to music
Which version should be look for?
isnt the screen auto turned off after 30 seconds (maybe you can set this in somewhere)?
after it's truned off automatically,the music is still on. i never turn off screen with my hand,dont bother,pro2 does the thing himself.
Pocket Player is another (not free, though) music player that has the ability to continue to play the music when the screen turns off. I find I like PP better than CorePlayer for music.
I have the same problem. if I'm playing music, the screen dims then blanks out and when it does the music stops. Seems pretty stupid. Same thing with the YouTube application. Would love to know how to let the screen go off but let the music keep playing
This sounds similar to some settings in diamond rom's. In some cooked versions, the cpu speed is set too low in standby mode. Search for the registry setting here, I'll bet this problem is similar.
This will probably be one of the first things I try to find a fix for when my TP2 arrives today.

Download Nitrogen from these forums. Its free and it better for MP3's than most of the MP3 players listed here ( believe me I have tried nealy all of them ). Nitrogen has an on screen button that when pressed turns the screen off, then all you have to do is in the phones actual settings is to select to lock buttons when the screen is off. Only the power button will then turn the screen back on.
I use nitrogen also and I highly recommend it.

[Q] Is it possilbe to diasable the primary display whiel using TV-Out?

I have the video out cable for my Dinc and It works very well, but I can't figure out a way to disable the main phone screen while I am using the TV out cable. I use it quite a bit on flights as I have some MyVu video glasses that let me watch movies on them. The issue is that the battery is being depleted very quickly due to havign the main screen on even though I am not watching it.
Is there an app or setting that will either let me toggle the main screen on or off, or let the screen sleep without stopping the video playback like when you hit the top sleep button?
I would say the screen has to stay on because if the screen goes to sleep it stops the video player app..... as for the battery you should be able to plug the charger into the side of cords adapter I know I can with mine

Phone sleeps while watching videos...

Everytime I'm watching a video in my browser, it'll sleep after 30 seconds which is what I have it set up to. But isn't the display suppose to stay on while watching a video. Does anyone know how to keep the screen on?
Sent from a Galaxy that fits in the palm of my hands.
that will depend on the video player App you are using
some will keep it awake, some will not
i got the same problem on my Windows PC
there are many work around, like easily set the phone to stay awake, and you can still turn it off when you hit the power button
or pick up another Player App from market, that has the feature build in

[Q] Screen blanking

I'm trying to watch a very long video from https://www.creativelive.com/live2 using chrome. Sometimes the screen will blank after two minutes, sometimes it won't blank while the video is playing.
I'd like it not to blank so long as chrome is playing the video. Other than going to settings - display and increasing the sleep setting (which seems limited to 30 minutes), what can I do?
I'm not using a cover or bringing it near magnets. Stock 4.4.4, not rooted.

Landscape video playback -> autorotating to portait after some time

So I have this weird issue with my OP5T, whenever I play a video in full screen (landscape orientation), using YouTube Vanced, VLC, or any video video applications, after some time, I'd say around 2 to 5 min, my phone orientation automatically switches back to portrait without even touching or holding the phone in my hand.
I was wondering if anyone ever had this issue and eventually found a fix for this behavior ?
Yea i got the same thing ....but mine dose it in most apps....not just watching videos.... Gyro sensor is way off...just can't find how to fix .....
