This is really starting to drive me insane now and i hope there is a simple solution. i use my Xperia to listen to music but since I got my data plan i find that my music is constantly being interrupted by the device connecting to the data network to do what ever it's doing?
I have my email set only to update every hour so it wouldn't bother me too much, but still it connects almost every other song, and the music will not continue until i activate the screen again then deactivate it. I find myself walking around double tapping the power key in my pocket.
I am running gtrabs R3A + 6.5 using the Media Xperiance Panel that comes with it, any ideas? Thanks.

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.
I've searched all over but im using Stock Verizon TP2 ROM, and when i play music through the phones speakers using Windows Media Player or the Touch Flo 3d music player, and C-ApiSRO - Sirius/XM Satellite Radio player, the music stops once i hit the button at the top to turn the screen off
is there anyway to keep the music playing? i know when i connect my bluetooth headset to listen to music it keeps playing when i hit the power button but is there a way to do this when listening to music through the phones speakers? My TP1 was able to do this but not the tp2 for some reason.
I've tried the Slide 2 Shutdown App which has the option for slide to turn the screen off which doesnt work, I tried a cab called SHK_Customs_Keep_Music_Playing_Registry_Fix.cab which still didnt work, and the C Apisro has a option to turn the screen off but the music still stops after like 45 seconds with the screen off. I cant figure out why the music wont keep playing. Any help out there with a fix or suggestion?
this might help abit

im trying to avoid s2u because it kills the battery on the phone
yep im not using s2u2 as i didnt like it, but in that thread someone suggested Nitrogen player, this allows you to play mp3s and kill the screen
there is an app out there called goff display where you hold the phone upside down and the screen shuts off i used it on my diamond when i had the same problem it works like a charm i will try to track down the .cab
Not sure which thread it was in or who put it together but I grabbed this the other day and works for me.
EDIT: Nevermind, see that it didn't work for the OP. Sorry.
Ask sergio76, in his two themes that he made that are in this forum he was able to keep the music playing with the screen off. He should be able to help you out.
i've found my solution with this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4951174&postcount=18
It worked!!!
I was having the problem that i was not able to listen to music on speaker with the screen off, but now thanks to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4951174&postcount=18
YES! sure u have to run the little app but w/e it does the job !
Both psshutxp & shk_customs_keep_musis_playing_registry_fix worked for me but for only 10 minutes! Then windows media player would stop.
Why doesn't windows media player have the option "do not suspend power while playing"? It did with my old HTC 6800 but not my touch pro 2.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks.
wish sumthing out there would do this? i like to listen to my music through my fone at work when im doing shipment, but having the screen on makes it hot and wastes battery fast, so any solutions yet?

Did you try both the cab in post #6 and the app in post #8? The cab worked for me, and still does, never had any issue after I first ran it. Some people who haven't gotten anywhere with the cab, have resolved the issue with that app..
Install TurnOffTheLight.cab found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569473
I put it on my home screens quick links and it enables turning off the screen while playing music thru the phones onboard speaker.
So, I followed suit with alot of you and got my 50gb of storage from box.com....which is freaking awesome because I use box to share study guides and old tests with my pharmacy school colleagues anyway...
And now I'm trying to make the best use of it. The 100mb limit or whatever basically limits me to music, which is FINE. When I'm driving or studying THAT'S when I want to stream my techno/trance/electronic music, BUT
1) the stupid xperia car dock. everytime I plug in my phone to my car charger it thinks its in a dock, which is probably the most annoying thing on the planet. Especially because its so obnoxious it stays LOCKED like that forever afterwards
2) ok BESIDES the car dock issue, the 3G streaming for box: HOW do you keep the music playing/buffering/loading AFTER your screen turns off? I know this is an elusive question from doing alot of googling but does anyone have a fix?
its so weird because the FIRST time I stream off the box: I load up song, it begins, I put phone down, screen turns off 30 sec later, song keeps playing
but after that first time, everything goes to crap: I load up song, it begins, as soon as screen turns off it plays whatever few seconds it had buffered then STOPS. if i turn screen back on it BACKS out of the music player and back to ES media player (is this what you guys are using to stream off the box?)
so is the only real solution to the crappy functionality of box.com media streaming to FORCE the screen to STAY on and then I guess plug in charger so your phone doesn't hemorrhage itself to death?
I'm working on getting a Tversity media server all set up and that will be nice, but even for the times my computer isn't set up with my router and such, it'd be nice to have a solid 50GB in the cloud to stream some music for those long car rides...
Ok, i have a strange problem.
My N4 is connected to my car via bluetooth. When ever the connection is resumed the N4 will automatically start the standard music app with the only song thats on there. It does not resume my podcasts or streams. Adding to that annoyance, it sometimes just switches to the standard music player without any actions taken. I listen to a podcast and have the phone lying in my car, me not touching it. After some minutes it switches to the default music app. It's random and not reproducable.
Is there a way to get the phone to resume whatever was last played when reconnecting bluetooth?
Any insight into this problem is much appreciated :good:
I think this is happening when whatever music so you are using is closed to free memory. The car looses the stream, then send a play command through the BT stack, and the phone starts the default app. First thing to do is see about freeing up memory to reduce the likelihood of your app getting closed out. Second step, look for settings within your so that will help keep it from being closed. A persistent notification will usually help. I'm using Podcast Addict and it does a great job of this, but I think the most effective thing was making sure I had free memory.

Thanks for the input, it's much appreciated. Apperently MM solved the problem for me. Haven't had any hiccups since updating and every stream is restarting properly :good:
Hello,
recently, actually 6 months ago, i bought a pair of BT headphones and i finally became pissed with random cut ofs when listening to music. I disabled the power managment thing, that in my opinion only annoys you, for spotify. But guess what it still cuts of at random but when i am watching a movie there are no cut ofs. So i think it has something to do with the power manager still trying to stop something. Any idea what should i do to fix this?
In the power management menu, hit the 3 dot menu button for further options of screen lock settings for apps. Maybe that?
Which music app are you using? Look at audio focus settings and buffer. Maybe it cuts out when a notification sounds? Also look at developer settings for anything relating to BT. I would test with more than one BT listening device too.

I use Spotify and Player Pro for music. I looked at the lock screen cleaning and I am even more confused with what is written there. English isn't my native so that might be it or its because there is bad wording.
Where can I found the "audio focus settings and buffer"?
Notifications are not it I was paying close attention to it for awhile and when it happened there ware no notifications.
About other BT devices, when I get a chance to try others I will definitely try, but I don't think it's the headphones because watching movies with MX Player works fine.
G'day Mousman, I recently encountered something very similar after upgrading to the latest B10 firmware on A2017G.
Spotify would stop after only a couple of minutes once the screen was off while playing through bluetooth. Its not the BT turning off because my car headunit shows it still connected, and if I tell the display to stay on permanently it doesn't stop.
I had my phone in Performance mode in power plan settings and all power optimistions off for spotify but had auto start on. Still no dice.
Today I changed the power plan to Smart power save and it didn't kill spotify. Only had a quick car ride home but so far so good.
Perhaps you should try switching your Power Plan to the opposite of the your current setting?
UPDATE: This really does seem to have fixed the issue for me, cannot understand why though... Anyway I feel like a factory reset would have sorted it also I've just been to slack to do one because I'm waiting for Oreo.
I am also waiting for oreo so no factory reset right now. And I have it on the smart power mode so I will try performance for a couple of days. One thing I noticed is when I change the settings for Spotify back and forth, flip the switch on and off, it works really nice for a day or so then it goes back to cutting off

Interesting, since I switched mine its been working well for the past couple of days, I hope it stays that way. Let me know how it goes for you.
I figured one thing about the audio and that is that it only happens in certain places. The other day I was at home and it never happened but it always happens in one spot when I walk home.
