Does anyone know if it is possible to listen to audio through the jack with the screen off? I mostly listen to books from audible.com using the player they provide. It is a real drain on my battery, but I feel that a big part of the problem is that I must leave the screen on, or I get no audio.

Hey guys,
If I put off my screen while a song is on the music stops too, and I think it's kind of a battery waste to let the screen on while listening to music.
Is there any way the music can keep playing while you have put off your screen with the button on top of the device?
Thanks a ton.

You can let the device turn off the screen itself.. Happens after 1 minute depending on which settings you have.. Works for me!
But i agree, irritating problem, guess there will be a fix for this!

You are not only turning off the screen but also putting the device to standby, use one multimedia player like Coreplayer or MortPlayer, both can
turn of the screen while keeping the device on.
This happened to me - I think it only happens in WM itself - the TF3D interface is fine to click the screen off - it carries on uninterrupted
Use a Headset than you can turn off the screen but the phone keeps on playing.
I just tried it and it DOES only affect WMedia itself - the TF3D music interface is fine - I haven't tried it with WMedia AND wired phones though - as has been said that may be a potential solution - I don't know because I always use BT headphones on mine
Frankly I've been using the TF3D interface far more recently, as it's MUCH easier than WMedia to create playlists on (I f..king HATE windows media TBH)
Hi,
As usual, we have a sound limitation in Europe that make this mobile phone unusable to listen music in the metro.
Do you have some idea to remove this limitation ?
Modify a file, registry ?
Thanks for your help.

Probably, and take care of other passengers in the train
who are forced to eavesdrop on your Susan Boyle playlist
But .. .seriously... this limit has to be removed if we can, because we can.
It's a reg setting but HD TWeak from the Touch HD still works to set this. I used it to remove the limitation as my hearing isn't great.
I have set mine to maximum.
Music playback still seems much quiter than on the HD, and I'm comvinced it occasionally reduces volume randomly!
Humm, interesting. DOes anyone know the actual registry key(s) which need to be modified, and how? I try to avoid installing tweaking software when I can just go into regedit and change things myself...
TIA

Use proper headphones and keep your noise to yourself.
in case you are one of those persons that walk around playing their ****ty music on their phones speaker ... then go and DIE!
In case you use earphones, get some in-ear plugs, that should cover the problem of noise around you.

I would be careful of in-ear monitors as they called, I have used quite a few mainly ultimate ears ue10 pro. Its been a couple of years, but I am now starting to suffer from serious problems with my right ear. So yes do take very good care of your ears cause trust me when the problems start, you will long for the day when you had perfect hearing.
***sorry wrong place***
I have a rather annoying problem here. Listening to streaming radio over the WiFi (which is how I listen to all my streaming, I mostly stay around the house...) it will stop after a few minutes because the HD turns itself off even though I have set it to never turn off. In the power options. BLanking the screen and letting the stream play has worked nicely on all phones up to now (the previous one was the original HD) but for some reason it does not play nice on the HD2. I have tried Pocket Music and Pocket Player, but none of them are able to do this. And WMP does not support all the streaming stations I listen to. I found one old thread that said you could use the "lock" in start menu, but that did not help. Does anybody know a solution for this?
I have the same problem, using Pocket Scrobbler for last.fm. Really annoying as I want to stream music whilst in the shower (obviously not with the phone in there with me, just in the same room), or even walking down the street.
Solved! For me it was the WiFi that turned itself off. I used the cab from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5353195 to keep it always on. I have tested it for around 15 minutes, and it doesn't turn off the wifi when the screen is black, so I would guess I could be streaming as long as the battery holds!

Just to warn : You could seriously damage your phone by keeping it in the same room when you take a shower...Water vapor and humidity may harm your device,which my iPhone was well damaged by this method
Then you need one of these: http://www.otterbox.com/iphone-cases/iphone-3g-3gs-cases/2600-series-pda-case/
I've got one for my HD2... Both capacitive and resistive touchscreens work through it!

That sir, has just made my day.
And it has saved my different, expensive phone's ass (does a phone have an ass?) at least three times the last five years or so when riding my speedboat or fishing! I'd rather look silly than be without my phone! The insurance doesn't cover water damage...
Alternatively you could do what I do which is put the phone outside your bathroom and have it bluetooth over the music to a bluetooth speaker which you put in an exped dry bag or similar (doesn't muffle the sound much that way.)
One big problem with navigation:
If you turn the volume of the speaker up playing music, gps loses satellites. The speaker in the back interferes with the gps radio.
HTC's reply? A complete and utter lie - it's overheating, and we turn off gps for you so the phone doesn't overheat. I tested this just now. It's the speaker or having something to do with the volume of the speaker. Heat in irrelevant in this specific case.
So, first they lie about the fps cap, then they lie about overheating. I'm beginning to get ticked off at these people.
P.S.
Another very small bug - when navigation is active, and you attempt to make a bt call from the bt car kit, screen turns off and the bt car kit starts to beep. I had to push the power button, and then everything worked perfect. Still, a bit annoying.
P.P.S. Oh yeah, stock rooted rom, 3.0 kernel for epson panels.

You need to make the volume loud in the external speaker to lose gps.
funny i use my nav pandora etc etc all day and all together dont have troubles
if your that unhappy you can take it back and get a iphone4 just make sure you have some duct tape
why don't you use the car's speakers, instead of the phone's? i plug my phone into the radio, listen to it and adjust the volume through there. i think trying to use the speaker on the phone while i'm in the car would be a horrible experience

Do you have headphones plugged into the phone? Or are you playing the music through bt?
As I said earlier, it has to be the external speaker of the phone itself.
If your phone is rooted dont blame HTC for nothing, get a life, or an Iphone 4, like i seen so many ppl say my camera doenst work, after i rooted my Evo, cmon ppl, you know what you doing when you rooting your phone.
Ps. I am rooted with everything stock and mines work fine
Pps. Get an Apple phone, Or a motorola , I herd they dont have issues!!!

I use an FM transmitter. So I guess you could classify that as headphones

You said in your post you're using an aftermarket kernel, so how can you blame HTC.

I just tried stock kernel. Same problem.
Go read the other thread. Every single person, who said they didn't have that problem, later confirmed having it after more testing.
Here's how to test it.
Go outside and turn on gps and maps. Walk like 30-40 feet, see how responsive the location marker is (it works instantaneously, both in movement and rotation).
Now switch to the music player, run a fairly loud song, turn volume to maximum. Go back to maps.
It will either say gps lost, or the location marker will be stuck in one place.
Lower the volume to zero or plug in headphones, and gps will work again.
Is controlling music player or radio while the screen is locked possible? I'm thinking of buying a headset with previous/next buttons and I'd like to skip songs/channels without unlocking the screen every time.
Go on Android market and download Mortplayer. Double clack the Galaxys headphones and it skips the song. Single press stops the music, its great ;-)

That function also applies to doubleTwist. A very good music/video player.

U can pull down the dusk at the top of the screen when it's locked and control your music player. The player must be started before locking the screen though

Nope, no matter how quick I push it twice, it doesn't work I'm on 2.1, may be that's the reason
Thinking about getting the car mount for my Galaxy S. I was wondering whether anyone would recommend a specific music player for such use? The bog standard music player is pretty decent as it allows you to control the music from the pull down notification screen but I was wondering if any other does this as well/better than the bog standard app?
