Windows Media Player problem plz read

my Windows Media Player in my Magician does not save the last audio volume it always remains at 70 if i close it and re-open it whatever volume i set it to e.g. 100%.
the other thing is that when i decrease the volume to 0% i can still hear the song playing albeit in a more quiet volume.
anybody faced this problem before? please help
many thanks in advance

once upon a tima i had the same problem.
it has to do with the system volume (tap the speaker in your task bar to adjust). if you set up this volume to 70% your media player will take the same value. just change your system volume and the wmp will change, too

i have the same problem... the system volume is set to 100% but player still comes up as 70% everytime. any reg hack?

Same here...
Although I wanted to turn the volume down really low so I could listen to music at work and still hear whats going on around me. Which you can't do. Even if you set it to 0% (with the system volume at one notch off mute).
Have had to buy a set of headphones with an inline volume control...ho hum..
My player volume stays at what I set it to though.
Cheers

Windows Media Player - No Turn Off while phone phone turned off

Hello
i need to know if there is any possibility to continue the playing of the windows media player when i turn off my mobile phone (so that the touchscreen can not be used, but phone still on)
the problem is that im going to work every morning and plugin my earphones to turn on the music for the way. i leave the phone in my jacket and because it is not turned off so you can use the touchscreen it happens very often that the touchscreen is touched and that the song turns louder, the next song comes, aso..... i do not like this, this is why i ask for a configuration that i save the screen so it cant be touched and i can hear music at the same time.
is there anything out?

You can set a key to disable the screen by using the "Menu" "Options..." "Keys" menu.
The last item (not sure, I'm using a french WM) is about Activating/Deactivating the screen.
Hope this will help you.

Another option is to use a bluetooth headset, which will keep the music playing even when you hit the power button. Another thing to consider would be a program such as Slide 2 Unlock, which can turn off the lcd according to a preset delay, but I'm not sure if media player would keep playing or not. Good luck!

I just use the audioprogram from htc with batterystatus, when I turn my phone off. the music keeps playing and my screen is off and keys locked

yea, the new HTC audio manager plugin (touchflo cab) allows you to turn off the screen while still playing the music. its a plus as a really nice audio player also.

Just assign a button in WMP to "Toggle Screen" this will do what youre looking for. No need for an entirely new media player.

Sorry to Bump this up but can someone tell me how to listen to music in audio manager while screen is off please, i searched and searched and the only answers i see are use another player (which I dont wantm I orefer audio manager) and "mine works when my screen is off" (thanks for the help???) Did anyone have the same problem as me and fix it? Thanks in advance

Play Media Player while phone is (otherwise) off.
I had a ROM loaded on my phone that allowed MS Mediaplayer to stay active while my Tilt was 'off'. In fact, it was listed as a feature of that ROM. So I know that it's possible. Someone knows how to do it.​

Volume control in Media Players

Am i the only one totally baffled by the volume control?
in the HTC media player tab, it seems to move up and down through items instead of changing the volume (which seems ridiculous to the extreme)
However - once for me it did change the system volume rather than changing the items - and i have no idea why?
how are you supposed to change the volume while listening to the media player?? the only way i can find it to navigate AWAY from that tab and then use the volume keys!!!
So... i gave up on the HTC media player... and used windows media player....
the volume control was working fine.. it changed the volume in windows media player
THEN (again - i dont know why!!!!) now it doesnt change the windows media player volume -it changes the system volume - i get a little half screen green and grey popup over the bottom half of the screen - its not even the same volume control HTC app as in the rest of the system?!??!
so can anyone tell me..
1) how on EARTH can i get the volume control to consistently change the volume
2) ideally it would do this without having to unlock the device!

yes this really pisses me off. especially because yesterday even in music player it DID change the volume and not the song.

Ok AEBPlus solved it for me. i've set it to ALWAYS use those buttons as volume (and it works while the phone is locked) conrols on the headset to skip tracks backwards and forwards
if only audio manager didnt crash every 60 seconds
and this is ridiculously poor for a £500 device!!!! i dont expect to have to install russian freeware to change the volume on my media player!!!!

Windows Media Player problems...TMobile HD2

I like to use Windows Media Player to play the music files, because...
. I used it in WM6.1 system, and feel pretty good about it
. You have some control using headset controls
. It automatically stops while you are in a call then resumes when call ends
. The HTC music player in my HD2 doesn't work well and I have looked for help here but not much improved.
But... the WMP in my HD2 seems also having some issues which the previous WM6.1 one doesn't have:
. Fast forward/backward is very hard to use on touch screen, and from headset controls, it only can go 5 seconds each click, which is very slow...
. The playlist can disappear for no reason, if I don't use it for a while
. Why the heck WMP will stop completely when using some applications? During call period is desired but resumes when call is ended. However, if I turn on the camera, WMP also stops, even worse, the whole playlist is gone too! That's very annoy.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems? Thanks...

Is there such a customizing tool for music player?

I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?

that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.

I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.
