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.

hey. ever since i intalled the new official rom, i have been having very wierd problem wit media panel. wen i connect my headphones, (not bluetooth but wired ones) it plays ok. but after playinf three tracks it always stop playing. i have to turn on device (press the power button once to turn on display) and then the nex track strats by itself. but if i don turn on device, nothing plays. m really confused.
did i change some settings without knowing. could some one help me out. i really like this panal
tthanx
Im having issues with the media panel ever since I updated my phone as well. When I start playing a track it plays for a sec, then it freezes for a long while (animations working but no sound) and continues after that.
Does it still turn optical joystick on ? Cause the previous ROM does exactly that.
hey
after 4 days of hard resting and reinstalling, i finally figured the problem. media panel seems to get stuck lik in the 1st post every time i change File cache (don no if one of them or both seem to be the problem.). so far i tried to softwares, xperiatweaks 2 beta and also advanced config.....
anyone have any idea or can fix it?
plz
thnkx
On mine there is another bug (generic uk r1aa008): video taken with camera play slow, instead mp4 also with high bitrate play well.
Anyone get the same?
I have also been having this problem since upgrading to R2A. I've put it down to some power saving changes SE have tried to introduce.
On the old version of the Media Panel it never turned the backlight off and the timer bar always updated to show the position in the track.
With this version the when the back light dims some screen updates no longer occur (e.g. the timer bar) and the eventually the screen will turn off. It then seems to stop playing after 2 or 3 tracks after the screen has turned off.
I've not worked out anyway to fix it - just hoping when the official ROM update is released via SE it will be fixed then.
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...

My D2 turns backlight off (it is OK, music continues to play) and later - device (display is completely off, music stops), even when I uncheck "turn off display/device" in power settings ...

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.
Hi everyone,
first-time poster here, so 'hello' I fear I may be posting quite a bit here now that i've chopped in my iPhone 3G for the Leo...baptism of fire!
I used to use a free app - FStream on the iPhone to stream radio stations, it worked great and I could lock the phone and turn the backlight off when it was running to save battery.
On the HD2 I can't find any free radio apps yet and i'm using opera to open the BBC iplayer to play stations, but I can't seem to minimise it and keep it playing and I can't turn the backlight off ever when it's running. The batteries lasting just a couple of hours over WiFi! Any ideas how to turn the backlight off or where I can get a radio player app that's good?
Cheers all
Have you tried pressing the "on/off" button once? that's the sleep mode, maybe the app still runs in the background? can't try it right now because I'm syncing my phone. but I guess it sends opera to sleep aswell.
there was a tool, I have to look it up. it was quite new and seemed brilliant. I'll let you know if I find it.
EDIT: Well I started the music player and pressed the "on/off" once to turn the screen off and the music still plays so opera should play too.
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.

Is there a way to disable lock screen widgets without closing the playing audio.
I listen audio through my bluetooth and keep my phone in my pocket. Currently leaving anything playing keeps a widget on the top of the lock screen. All to frequently I find that I have skipped the song I wanted to hear or have jumped forward 25 minutes in my book. I found a setting in Podcast Addict and that app no longer does it.
I am rooted and using the stock rom. Would screen shots help?
I went ahead and contacted Samsung, the say it cannot be done.
Explain to me in more detail what you mean because I stream music and books, etc.. from my phone all day long and have no issues with it.
As an example, I use NPR One I launch the app, start streaming audio then press the power button to lock and power off the screen. If the power button gets pressed again the lock screen has audio controls. In this case it would only be play/pause and skip. I don't want those controls on the lock screen.
