Can I make it so when I stream something coming from windows media play I can turn off the screen and just listen, and the backlight is off. It stays on while it streams my xm radio. Kinda like when you in a phone call and after a minute or so the screen goes blank, but you can keep talking.
Press the power button and the screen turns off, ace..

Which also shuts down windows media player or the xm satellite streamer, ace. Unless this is only a default setting that can be changed, the original poster needs another solution.

I use my 614c as a Wifi-walkman using GSPlayer layer as a streaming audio player. This works well, however the battery life is very short because the phone never turns off the backlight but rather only dims it down. GSPlayer has a turn off display option which turns off the LCD but not the backlight. I suspect that this feature works correctly on other PDAs turning off the backlight but on 614c it just dims down.
Has anybody successfully been able to turn the backlight off while the phone is active? There is the "standby" mode where it turns off the backlight but that means that the phone just sleeps and it looses its wifi connection. You can't use this mode while listening to MP3s.

May be you can try Slide 2 Play and use this trick :
The behaviour of S2P can be altered by changing the following registry values stored at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\
- OffLCD - the no. of timeout seconds that S2P will turn off the screen when using battery; default is 25.

hey so todays the first day i used the td2 as a music player. i already had the power and screen savings to make teh screen automatically shut off after 1 minute of inactivity. but i had music playing from teh tf3d and after about an hour, my battery was almost depleted because the screendidnt turn of the whole time. is it just my device? or is there a setting for this?
Go check settings > personal > power/battery and see what the settings for the screen are there.
backlight off after 10s, turn off screen after 1 min, and autobacklight check, thats about all taht there is in power settings
it is just a standard behavior.

No it is not, I've checked on my phone and the screen turns off in both WMP and TF3D2 music player (music does not stop when screen goes off either) so I don't know what you're talking about. BUT, when I press the powerbutton manually so the screen goes off, the music stops.

If your listening with headphones, then even on pressing poer button manually doesn't stops the music...but if hearing through phone speaker, then it stops....this is true for TF3D2 music player atleast...

Download some other media player like Nitrogen or Coreplayer where you can set the option to keep play music even if device is in sleep mode or w/e.
I'm using elfin running WM 6.1. The prob is that when i play a song in the audio manager and try to switch of the phone's display, the song stops playing. I used to do this in 6.0 and unfortunately this is not working in 6.1!(just to save power) Any thoughts on this?
bumpp... in no one's mind..?!!
Well... when the display goes off, the phone goes into a kind of "standby" mode, all in a effort to conserve battery power... even the wireless is turned off =)

the reason why i posted this doubt is that, when i was using 6.0, the audio used to play even when the backlight is off.. now this is not happening in 6.1..
Yes, audio usually stops playing when the screen is off, its normal.
Some programs like coreplayer allow you to go the menu and press on the key that says, Turn off backlight, which will allow the music to continue to play.
If you use the Onyx ROMS, press and hold the power button and click on backlight.
Hey guys, I can swear that when I first had my TMOUS HD2, I could play music on the sense music player, and could then press the end button to turn the screen off without the music stopping. For whatever reason now, whenever I press end to turn the screen off, however, the music also stops. I can't figure out if I changed a setting anywhere or not, but any ideas? Fyi, I installed TCPMP player and messed with a few of the "play music/video" in the background settings, but I don't think that's what's doing it.
I am not sure about sense player but most of the music players I tried have the turn screen off option. The only player which plays even if the screen is locked from outside the player is the "Pocket Player" (conduits.com). You can change that behavior though.
also if you hit the screen off button (one on the right/hang up button) then hit it again so the lock screen comes up this has made a difference for me... (allows the non windows media player player to keep playing)...
A solution to that will be welcomed. I want my LastFM client to keep on playing after the screen goes off. Currently it starts to stutter and then shuts up.
On the HTC HD, I used the "nueDynamicClock" application, which could maintain (for chosen applications) higher CPU clock while the HD went into suspend. This app does not work on HD2.
Please advice
Thanks
My sense player keeps playing as i hit the hang up button and screen turning off... Don't know if this helps, but here are my versions:
OS: 5.2.21869.5.0.82
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR (Norwegian official updated ROM)
Radio: 2.06.51.07
Anyways, the sense player isn't what i want it to be, it is far too limited, so i use CorePlayer. CorePlayer also plays with the screen off, no problems.
Have you tried using S2U beta (from the people who made S2U2)?
I was having the exact issue, but S2U is a god send. You can control the skip, play/pause and volume buttons with the screen locked.
It's very good, especially if combined with S2U2 for text, email, mms and calendar previews while the phone is locked. Well worth checking out.
There are threads on xda-developers about both.
The funny thing is, I'm on a stock TMOUS rom, and I definitely recall that at least in the beginning, I was able to have the sense music player keep playing with the screen turned off. Thus, there must be a way to get this back again. Any more ideas?

Update: For no apparent reason at all, it seems that my phone has reverted back to "normal" and now allows me to play music in the background with the screen turned off. Did absolutely nothing.
Have you tried the start button and then lock.
I use this when listerning to audio books viaTCPMP

Yup, I can lock the phone just fine without the music turning off, but it's as soon as I then press end to turn the display off (even after locking the phone) that my music suddenly stops playing. And as an update to my previous update, my phone has decided to revert back to pausing as soon as I turn the screen off! Just when I thought all was well...
Once you have locked your phone there is no need to to ress the end key. Your screen will switch off depending on your timeout settings.
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.

I normally hit home then either turn it off or just let it dim out at the home screen.
