Hi
Thanks for reading this.
I used to have button 3 (camera) and button 4 (recorder) set to select previous/next track on media player on my XDA2. My kid was playing with it and he unmapped button 4. Now I can't get it to remap. Button 3 is fine and selects previous track but I cannot get button 4 to map to next track - regardless of the 'Unmap during background play' option. It's driving me mad. I just want them to be default during normal use and track-select during playback. Help!
When I try to map functions of Windows Media Player it only allows me to map my UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and ACTION buttons. I use these for Volume Up, down, next, previous, and play/pause, respectively. I want to map another button to toggle screen but when I try to assign the CONTACTS button for example- it goes to my contacts and doesn't assign.
Does everyone have this problem and if not any iideas on how to fix?
Thanks,
Daniel
ps- I like WMP and don't want to switch to another music program
Is there a way to do it? I have finally gotten used to using WMP10 as my MP3 player.. I have "Up(hold)" mapped to toggle the screen. "Down(hold) to enter full screen, and I can "Queue Up" with a long press on a track in the library. If I could just tap "left" while in the Library I could do it all without having to touch the screen.
Have you found a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Daniel
How do i do this? i cant assign a button for it, i tried searching but those threads were recommending something called pocket shield, but isnt there a way to use the windows media player toggle screen function?
thanks
Use CorePlayer or Pocket Music...they both have features to switch off the screen.
Using Windows Media player you simply power off with the switch on top and the player continues.
take a look here for Windows Media and Core: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=603
Possible that there's a setting I wasn't aware of in WMP but - I found that when I used WMP for music and hit the sleep button at the top, the music stopped playing - although when I use the music player tab in the TouchFlo3D, it carries on uninterrupted when hitting the sleep button
i dont like the HTC media player, its much easier to search using windows media player.
i used to assign a key to toggle screen when i had my touch dual, but on the HD i cant assign any keys.
any help? if possible i dont want to download a third party media player.
at the moment im just letting the screen turn itself off, but doing so risks my pocket touching the screen and doing stuff
My 2 cents
well I use TF3D for my music needs (it's enough for me) and my solution to turning the screen off (without headphones in, since with them it's not an issue) is with Gyrator which I have set to turn the screen off when I turn the HD upside down.
Just switch off the screen with your power button. It works regardless of whether you're using Coreplayer or native TF3D music player or FM radio. But the wired headset must be plug in for it to work.
An additional tip:
Since the screen is blanked out, how do you change volume and switch channel/song?
My way of doing this is to install AEBplus, and make single press of volume buttons Up and Down arrow key, and double press (you can use long press too, if you so prefer) as volume up and down. In this way, you need not get out of blank screen in order to skip or repeat songs, or to change channel.
Is there anyway of doing this via the htc player from the today screen?
I like the convenience of playing music from this screen. Just need the display to switch off.
Prefer not to install another player then have to search for it to play a bit of music.
Hey guys,
I like using GSPlayer2 on my HD2. However, the program does not detect the button presses from the remote. I have the Sense MP3 player disabled, so now when I press the call/play button on the remote, it either goes to the call menu, or goes to windows media player.
Simple question -- how do I change its behavior, so that it can control GSPlayer? I'd imagine the solution will be similar (but not identical) to the the one implemented by AVRCP program floating on XDADev somewhere....
