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.

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.
is there a way to tab the power button and not stop nitrogen player? what happens is that it stops, then i have to tab the power button again and unlock s2u2

no you have to hit the power button it comes with. hitting the hardware power button won't do anything it'll just stop playing.
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.
