When i use windows media on my 8525 with the headphones, and im playing music, i want to be able to press the side power button for the LCD to go black, but the music continue to play?
I dont like putting my phone in my pocket, w. the screen on and the music playing, with my treo i use to be able to do this... is this possible?
Thanks
correct me if im wrong anyone, but i dont believe that is possible, unlessa program is written to Screen Toggle, rather than Standby the Device
but i think SPB has a Screen Toggle in their PocketPlus?
i think i remember it from my hx4700 running PocketPlus
coz id listen to music and just toggle the screen off
It does, it is called Screen Toggle and it is in the Pocket Plus actions folder
This works for me. I'm listening to music right now and my 8525 is in standby in my pocket. I'm running vp3G's WM6 ROM. (I think this started working with WM6)

When i had my Wizard (k-jam) i would use TCPMP to play music through my Bluetake iPhono Mini Bluetooth Headphones. When i pressed the power button to enter standby mode the music would continue to play.
Now i have my nice new JasJam, i try to do the same however as soon as i press the power button it seems to enter a deep standby mode and the music stops.
When playing music i now have to remember to lock it everytime i put it in the belt holder or my pocket to stop opening applications and as the backlight keeps turning on it chews through the battery life.
So does anyone know of a way to keep music playing while in standby? Is this a hardware limitation of the Hermes?
Cheers
I am running the Imate Telstra (AUS) 1.3.1 ROM

I use mortplayer, this is one of it's many features
Thanks pof, i'll give it a go.
I'm still curious why this worked with TCPMP / WMP on a rom with same AKU (2.3) on Wizard but will not work on the Hermes. Sometimes i think HTC must be half asleep when looking at certain aspects of new devices..
Never had a wizard, but the BlueAngel had the same problem as the Hermes has...
wmp and spbpocketplus have this feature
if you assign a button to this in wmp, you can use 'screen toggle' and it both turns off the display and locks buttons except the dpad. I use this daily to play music. played for 5 hours today and down to 90%.
(i was on gprs at the time)
spbpocketplus also has a screen toggle function that you could use. it does exactly the same thing.

Thanks, i didnt even think about the Pocket+ screen toggle feature (i guess i was hoping for a reg hack). I tried the Pocket+ feature and it actually locks all buttons except power so this should sort me out.

I tried to assigned a button going through the WMP's options>buttons>toggle screen, but it did not let me. Do I have to install the spbpocketplus to accomplish this?
I had the SX66 before and now moved to the Cingular 8525. My SX66 was able to go to the standby mode while playing th WMP by turning the power switch off. The screen got dimmed and all the button except the power button became disable. I don't exactly remember why mine could, but mine had the latest ROM and etc. It was a nice function and I miss it...........
Does anyone know how to toggle the screen on and off not using windows media player. thanks
using the spb pocket plus actions (can be assocated with hardware buttons)
How do I make it STAY off?
when I skip tracks with my bluetooth headset it seems to pop back on. Of course by now the phone is in my pocket so thats pointless. Just wastes battery and makes it hot
search software called "screenoff"
i just assign it to one of the hard button
I need some help with S2U2 V1.52 on HTC Touch HD (Standard Rom).
First some background: I use Conduits Pocket Player to listen to audio books, I have set Pocket Player to turn the screen off after a few seconds. With the screen off, I can continue to listen to my Audio and can control pause/rewind with the volume up and down buttons. After another length of time I have set pocket Player to stop playing thus letting my Touch HD and myself to go to sleep.
The Problem is this: When Pocket Player turns the screen off, S2U2 V1.52 locks my device. The audio still plays, but pause/rewind buttons are disabled
This was not the case with the previous version of S2U2 V1.42 where S2U2 would only kick in once Pocket Player had stopped playing and my device had gone to sleep.
Can anybody help me to achieve this with version 1.52?
P.S. I have added Pocket Player to the exception list in the registory but this will never lock the device while Pocket Player is running (Which it will be after it and the device has gone to sleep).
Thanks in Advance
Please post your issue in that thread.

I know this old and is a common problem but have searched Google, XDA-Developers, Xpansys and other forums without a working solution...
I have the TYTN II... when playing music either WMP or HTC Audio Manager the screen only dims. Side power button only dims and will NOT shut screen off from any application while music playing. The button works when music is not playing or headphones not plugged in. I even tried my bluetooth stereo headset and same problem while playing music.
I tried other apps like SPB PocketPlus (screen toggle), MortPlayer and PSshutXP with button assignments as well as a few other suggested "fixes" with no success. The results are the same. Even the power off buttons in these programs only dim my screen.
This used to work (side power button) but after installing some apps I noticed this problem. Unfortunately can't pinpoint exactly when it started. Not sure if they are the culprits. Apps that were installed...
walking hotspot
vsdraw
phonex

I also unistalled Phonex because I thought it was causing my phone to shutdown but later found out my battery is heading for the graveyard (almost 1.5yrs). I later reinstalled Phonex.
I did find a reg fix to keep music playing while off but without headset. Once a headset is plugged in or BT connected, then screen only dims.
wav1=0 in System\CurrentControlSet\...\Unattended key
UnattendedPlayback=1 in Software\Microsoft\Media Player\Preferences key
I have spent at least 12 solid hours over the past week looking for a fix with no working solution. I really don't want to resort to ROM flash since I may not be able to re-install some important apps. Anyways... anybody with a registry (or other) fix on this?
PLEEEEASE help!!! I travel intensively and listen to audio teachings while on the go.
TYTN II screen off solved!!!
Praise the Lord!!! found a solution that works! ...just can't remember the post anymore where I found this answer to give credit to the guy...
Well, just put this little screen saver .exe file on your device somewhere and then would be best to put a shortcut in the StartMenu. When you want to turn the screen off (i.e. during playback) then go to Start Menu and click the link. Works like a charm.

I use psShutXP to turn off my screen for problems like that. It does similar things, but also contains button to soft reset as well as turn off the screen.
coreplayer has the option built in and is a better player as well
you can assign "blank screen" to any hardware button
i assigned it to the space bar as i have one of my hardware buttons bring up the input panel
works with bluetooth and btaudiotoggle
if audio is the main goal...coreplayer should be your answer
i just use s2p (slide2play)
LOVE IT!!!!!
plus i use s2u (slide2unlock)
so when I start up my music.. hit the power button and music stays running but device turns off and locks... grab phone and hit power button you can control the player but not dial out or anything until you slide to unlock again....
screen only dims when playing music
The screensaver fix works but found out (in the dark) that the screen only goes black and not off. There is still a faint back light so some power is still being consumed. Has anyone found a registry fix?
All these other options listed in this post still only dim my screen while headphones plugged in. It works well when no headphones in use... There must be a registry key I can edit.
Hi,
If I don't have my mp3 player with me, there is still some music on my phone. The annoying thing is, it turns off always when I turn off the screen of the device. I am using the original htc player. I don't want to have the screen on, because the phone is in my pocket and it opens all possible stuff while I am moving. Is there a solution to that, or do I need a different player?
download slide 2 play. it is free and does everything you want it to do.
This happens because when you hit the power button you are suspending the device. What you want to do (to keep the music playing) is just turn the screen off without actually suspending the device. Find a program to toggle the screen.

thanks guys
I normally hit home then either turn it off or just let it dim out at the home screen.
i use nitrogen player
alows the screen to be off and my lockscreen activates, so no random numbers dailed whilst in my pocket.
