Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow turn off the screen while playing an mp3?
The power off button also powers off the sound and is therefore not an option.
Just listening to a song I find it a but stupid to drain the battery due to the screen not turning off.
Maybe another player is an option?
In the media player options, u can assign the display poweroff to a hardware button, take a look :wink:

Hi, guys, I am using my XDA Neo as a mp3 player all the time. Here I have one question, to save the battery, I would like to turn off the screen, but keep the phone and other program (like media player) still running, what should I do? Is there any 3rd party software can do this?
If I press the power button, the XDA will go to sleep, but the phone is still on. If I press and hold the power button for like 5 seconds, it will ask if I want to turn of the device completely, and I tried it, the XDA was completely off including the phone function. So, what button can turn off the screen display but not anything else?
Thanks in advance for any input.
In media player under Options/buttons you can assign any a key to turn off the screen, without the music is stopping..

There is a program called MortSaver that not only turns off the light, but actually turns off the screen. It locks all of the buttons and it takes a 2 button combination to unlock the buttons. However you can press any button and activate the screen just to see a special display with the time, battery and phone status...very cool. I use it strictly for playing mp3s (ogg in my case) when the phone is in my pocket or backpack.
Thanks, Motosaver seems to be a nice program. I just downloaded and I am using it now. Thanks.
I think VJEschaton will also turn off the screen.
V
...which also works when the device is on standby? The standard media player still plays music on standby, but the buttons don't work anymore! But i need a good player so that i can use my ppc as a mp3 player in my pockets.
thx in advance!
gsplayer + button configuration + SRS wow(if your device can use it).
nothin more.
freeware/legal software.
u can use WMP..just make sure u have S2U2 or Pshut XP
coreplayer will blank the screen
WMP can also blank the screen on use...
WMP can also blank the screen while playing
yeah but it will wake up at a touch of a feather
Depends on the rom you use. For my Prophet, most of the roms work this way: you press the power button and the screen goes blank, music keeps playing and all other buttons don't respond (except power button). Some of the roms stop playback when you suspend.
Hunh?
If I press the power button while music is playing, WMP keeps playing with the screen off. I thought this was normal.
I also have my bluetooth Stereo headset going when I do this.
Weird.
I'm running a Schaps 4.3 ROM if that matters.

The Sprint Touch stops playback when you hit the power button using WMP.
The muzic stop if i press the power button on my hima so i set S2U2 to turn of llight after 30 seconds and after that it lock the screen so no key press
I really tried to search forum, but only what I found was problems and no solutions. When playing music from TF3D or from WMP and pressing power button to enter suspend mode, music playback stops. On my Elf music won't stop after pressing power button. No I don't want any S2U or similar programs which does not solve my problem.
I am looking for a way to detect when a button is pressed while the Android screen is locked. I would like to be able to pause and resume audio playback when the button is pressed, without making the user unlock the screen.
Does anyone know how to detect when a button is pressed while the Android screen is locked?
Fly screen is a lock screen replacement that will let you do this.
Does fly screen let you put the audio controls for the default audio player as a widget? I believe it only does for TunesWiki (which i believe is a really good player).
If you want to put the default player controls on lock screen, try Lock 2.0.
Was trying out with the new Sony SBH20 NFC A2DP that i just buy and there seems to be a issue with the connection whenever i turn off the screen while listening to songs. The songs will have constant breakoff but when i turn on the screen, it will be find. Anyone have this problem while connecting to any bluetooth device?
When you press the power button to put the tablet to sleep, I don't think it's possible to keep the music playing. Which explains why it will start working again as soon as you press the button to get it out of sleep.
