Title says it all...
What I'm looking for is to be able to control my music while the phone is locked. I am running the last and greatest version of enrgy's rom series. The perticular build that i am using doesnt let me control the volume while the screen is off. But does let me control it when the phone is locked... wierd... but i am loving the rom (if you havnt i recomend you give it a whirl) I have search but the only thing i found is to use s2p with s2u2. I much rather use the windows lock screen, enrgy add a feture to let you use 1 out of 3 lock screens hd mini which im curently using 6.5 and the default lock screen. For some reason i cant not stand s2p (personal preff no offense to the developer) thanks to any1 in advance that can help me with this. I hope this was posted in the right section... if not can some point me to the right place.
you have no idea how bad i want that, it would be so useful! when im at the gym i constantly have to unlock my phone and enter my password because my screen locks to change my music. a look screen with music control would be unreal
This would be great to have. If I remember correctly, before I flashed my rom, my stock Tilt 2 rom used to be able to do it. Hold down the volume buttons to change songs and press down buttons for volume.

The whole point of a lock screen is to lock down the device. You can change the device to NOT lock the buttons when the device is locked, and there are NRG settings that will affect the device when locked. But basically I think you would have to map some of the hardware keys - I believe that ATT has a PTT button, for example - to do a particular function.
Well hopefully this will help.
I picked up a Motorola Bluetooth Headphones in January and using the stock rom I was able to lock the phone and use the headphone controls to change the music and volume with no problems. I can also pause the songs with the controls and come back to the music anytime.
I just moved to the EnergyRom and it still works. I'm only having one issue all the sound comes through the headphones now.
I will say there is one other issue, minor for me, every once and a while the sound will change to a mono'ish, tinny sound, then come right back to stereo. When you hear people complaining about the Bluetooth Headphones this is what they are talking about. It really has never bugged me that much, but it might bother you.
I picked up this model - Motorola HT820. Just in case you are wondering.

That is EXACTLY where I've been searching for a long time. Just like on my SE K800i. Volume button hold = skip songs and normal press volume!
Could this still be found/edited in the registry manually maybe?

I don't quite remember if I installed a cab for it or if the stock rom allowed it, I wish i could remember because I miss it a lot. The only thing I can do now, when the phone is locked, is control the volume. At least it's something...
in the new version of CHT this is comming
Hmm, CHT is not as stable on AthineOS as I hoped. That ROM is nearly clean and CHT brings some bugs with it, so I'd like to find the fix separated from CHT...
Does anyone of you also have a problem with the player when you turn of the screen? (press power button) On my TP2 it doesn't play the next song, but starts to create a cracking noise, almost silent. Also when I turn off the screen the music goes silent halfway the first song I play. I have to skip a bit back/forward and it'll keep playing like it should after that. I know there's some fix like: "Keep music playing while screen is off", but that just won't fix it. But just locking my phone through the Start Menu and letting the screen go black works :S.
Dude, you should try S2U2, is a lock app that looks like the iPhone... But the better thing is that the developer, also make S2P a player that can be used while the lock (S2U2) is active...
I would give Tarkim's keyboard controller a try.

Hi Tiemen_S,
which rom do you have, windows build, manila version and so on. Because i don't have problems like that.
These are not problems with CHT, that's your rom so as said in the threads. I have tested around 20 roms and the most bring up problems. The only one that was running was the latest original dutch rom for me.
So do your tests once again please, with an original one before you say it is CHT. Because that is not the case.

I don't blame CHT or anything, I'm just very satisfied with AthineOS without it. It's like the cleanest ROM out there, with a not too plastic/shiny/glossy theme. I don't know exactly where CHT can't combine with AthineOS (code-wise), but after the installation some bugs appeared. And after reflashing without CHT everything was fine again. It were no SOD's, but glitches and switches.
And of course it's superb the fix will be integrated in CHT, but not everyone uses it and a seperate fix would be a better solution for them!

I've got a newbie media-related question, and searches haven't yielded the specific answer that I'm looking for (though maybe I haven't searched the right device forum, yet):
What is the best way to use my new Sprint Touch as an MP3 player? To answer that question I guess I'm really asking the following questions:
What is the best plugin to get a handy player for easy play/pause and prev/next track selection (like the original HTC Touch media hub, or the tab on the 6-tab HTC Home)?
Is there a way to play music without the screen staying turned on? From what I can tell the Windows Media app keeps the screen on as long as it is playing music. I would like the screen to shut off and then spring back to life if tapped/power button pressed/whatever. Hopefully the answer to #1 will support this as well.
I don't want a new HTCHome.dll since I just got my Sprint one patched to point to a different weather server to get local weather.
I also have been reading about the 'Touch Settings' program and am interested in giving that a spin as well, though I can't tell if it will help me other than to make launching the player more handy.
Thanks in advance...

sprint removed the original htc audio manager which is quite good and has a today plugin. you can get the original htc apps from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
I've installed this audio manager and the plugin on my sprint touch and they work great.
For turning off the screen, I usually just let mine turn off on its own (since it actually will when using audio manager). If you want to force the screen off yourself, just grab a freeware app called ScreenToggle and map it to your camera button or today screen.

Yes, that is EXACTLY the info that I was looking for...I just installed both the audio manager and the home plugin and love them both. The home plugin doesn't take up too much screen space, so it will work great for me. The screen doesn't appear to be shutting off while using the plugin, either, so will try ScreenToggle if I can't find another setting/option to have it shut off automatically. THANK YOU retrobits!
You can also map a button from within WMP (such as the center button) to toggle the screen off/on. It is under one of the menu options for settings.

That's cool...works great if I want to use WMP instead of the plugin. Unfortunately, even though it appears that the home plugin is launching and using WMP rather than the audio manager, the button that I associate with the screen off/on toggle doesn't work from the homepage...I've got to switch to WMP for it to work. That may be good enough for me, though...thanks for the tip.

Bluetooth headphones have control buttons, so you dont need onscreen ones, and on my GSM Touch at least, as well as my Kaiser, I can switch of the screen with the power button without interrupting audio playback when using A2DP.

Can you describe further how I can get this to work so that the music continues to play? And of course maybe this is a difference between the GSM Touch and the "Sprint" Touch/Vogue, but hopefully not.

Sorry, I dont know why it works, but it just does. Just tested it again with my Moto S9's, and it works perfectly. When I use the power button the screen goes off, but the music keeps playing. Worked in Audio Manager, WMP and TCMP.
Its probably a simple registry setting which some-one more knowledgeable can tease out.

is it the bluetooth remote buttons (AVRCP) that is the issue? I may just be a remapping of the buttons from your media player.

The remote buttons on my bluetooth headset work great for me...no problems there. The issue is that when I use my Sprint Touch (Vogue) as an mp3 player I want the screen to turn off without the music stopping when pressing the power button so as to conserve battery life.
For now I'm using the WMP feature to toggle the screen on and off as needed.
I have been using TCPMP 0.72RC1 on my Wizard for some time now and this has the option to set a button on your device (whichever one (except for the on/off button)) to toggle the srceen off and on.
be aware though, I use this option to safe battery life. The other buttons still work when the screen is off, so skipping songs etc is still possible without the screen being on.

Hello,
I have been working on a new audioswitch app to replace troca2 and audioswitch.
I have started to make a new app called audioswitch v2 but soon ran out of time... and xiexin1008 got the project and had made and new experimental app.
Today, I had some free time, and made other app with a "switchclass" that deal with all the ril stuff(based on my first class that is on the Xiexin project), so others can improve and use it even as a dll in c#(u have to build it as a dll first)
I called it "simple audioswitch".
How it works: run the program and "put it on the background"
volume "up and down" switch the audio.
volume "down and up" close the app.
if an incomming call shows up, the audio will be routed back.
I have tested it only in my p3301. so I do not know if it works or not in other phones.
Once more the license:
It is free code, free binaries, and all work derived from it.
use at your own risk and I am not responsible for nothing...
Support on the forum.
-------------------------------------------------------
about the various methods of switch the audio...
mostly uses drivers messages.
u can find very useful information about it at www.teksoftco.com, even a audio driver wrapper that spy at audio messages.
by this time it is not for me, too busy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
will open sorce of this app so others can inprove it.
Thanks to Xiexin, I will not post his work now, will wait for his email.
Thanks Dan-Marius to all the feedback.
Thanks.
Hop u like. sorry for the messy code(is an one hour work).
@MarceloFB
The ideea of listeninng RIL for incomming calls is a very good one! Congratulation, you did a great job. Yes, a really great one.
The simpleAudioSwitch.cab file is attached.
Guys, it works very fine.
Thank you Marcelo!
I tried this program and I like using hardware keys pattern to change audio. I like the most that I don't have to change the way buttons worked before. this is the best solution I saw till now.
But there's is still a problem. It seems all programs of this sort use same procedure to route audio. But when audio is routed in my phone it seems it doesn't come from internal speaker. Or maybe not exclusively from internal speaker.
Sound still can be heard from external speaker but quieter.
So I can say now that we have good user interface but routing mechanism needs to be improved.

The "routing mechanism" is using RIL lib, by now thre is no other "easy avaliable" way to rout the audio.
Try changing the radio or the entire rom of your phone, I have tested in touch cruise this method and works fine, but with the stock rom.
can you please tell me which ROM, radio and protocol version have you tried it with, so I can try the same and compare with this one I have?

Also, earphone is silent when the phone is on vibrate (and probably when it's on silent too although I haven't tested it).

Request
Hi,
I still use the old version with mortscript to control the program and I love it .
I have a request for this new version.
1 - Can we decide which key controls the audio switching ? ( Since I have a Fuze and I have a PTT button which I never use )
2 - also is it possible to add the bluetooth handfree to audio switch options as well ? sometime when I'm driving I love to use my voip or skype over 3G using my bluetooth handfree .
Sincerely
Thunder
Will there be a new version, which is working with Skype 3.0 mobile beta?
I am having problems trying to get this to work with my Benq e72 phone running Windows Mobile 5.
I am trying to use it at the same time as Ageet Agephone mobile 2.76.
http://www.ageet.com/us/products-agephone-mobile.htm
It seems like Agephone mobile 2.76 takes over controls of the volume up and down button.When I push the up and down volume control button it just wants to change the volume and not switch the speaker/earpiece - I can't get Audioswitch to work. [Maybe I am not doing something simple properly?] But at least it installs correctly.
So then I try AudioRoute http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1995

What is this peeps?
Never heard of it.
Its an internet radio app, that lets the user type in artists that they like and then the app streams the songs to them based on their selection.

I have an Excalibur right now and it is a non-touchscreen phone that works with this app. Have you tried using the directional pad in the TP2's keyboard for navigation?

Yes, the sound quality is 64 kbps aac I think so I would imagine that it doesn't sound that good. At least this is a working solution. In the furture when the official pandora.cab comes out I belive that it will be 64kbps aac+ which equates to 128kbps aac.

You have to find the Pandora exe in Program Files hold your finger down on it till a menu appears and hit copy. Then Navigate to My Device-->Windows-->Start Menu-->Programs in this folder scroll to the botton and right below the last file hold your finger down in the empty spot so no file is selected and when the menu pops up select paste shortcut.
Very nice... hope they launch the cab soon, but in the mid time this one work!

When you say disable locking app, it will work. Can you elaborate a little more. I don't have any other lock app except the default WM lock which I dont use at all and Pandora will still stop when device sleeps.
I remember there was a reg edit for this before I will try to find it and try it out and reply with findings.
Also, is the cab link you posted the same as what was posted before?
Since they both have the same name I am assuming its the same one.
I'll explain shortly what i'm experiencing tough i believe you've guessed it..
when my phone is in my pocket, every phone call i get gets answered\declined when i pull it out, the stupid slide-to-answer\decline thinks my leg has a mind of it's own.
I know this issue is over-discussed, BUT.. i couldn't find a solution anywhere, i spent about three hours now searching for a solution but nothing came up..
i'v tried "NoLock" but it didn't do any good, because the lockscreen itself isn't the real issue here, its the answering screen itself, which is the default screen for answering or declining a call, wheather the phone is locked or not..
anyone know of a way to change the answer\decline call screen all together?
this is driving me crazy! I'm actually thinking of going back to WinMo because of this issue..
specs:
HTC HD2
radio - 2.15.50.14
android - MDj-froyo 4.1
solution found!
OK i hope you guys see this - i found a solution -
just install this .apk, it presents a screen with two simple buttons (answer\decline) instead of having to slide. works like a charm no more leg\but answering declining calls

Strange, doesn't do anything. Installed, rebooted, wakeup from a call still gives the slider.
Is there any way to use the default android call answer screen (slide right to answer, left to decline) as opposed to htc sense answer screen? I know this can be done with the lock screen by deleting the apk from the system folder, maybe there's a similar solution?

well, i use videoringtonez from market......you can put video ringtones with two buttons..answer and decline
Try the EasyAnswer application, it gives you a choice of two buttons to press.
I recently sold my iPod because my hd2 does the same job.
But there is one big disadvantage of it:
I cannot navigate through tracks without pulling the phone out of the pocket.
Would it be possible to remap hardbuttons to back, play/pause, next while music is playing and phone is locked? Unlocking or waking the phone should restore the original buttons.
That would make the hd2 into a real good music player.
Thank you in advance. I hope nand development is the right place for that;-)
well im using vol up/down keys to navigate tracks forwards/backwards in cyanogenmod 7
but yep it would be nice to take it further, it should be possible to use all hardware keys except the end call button when phone is locked
+1 on this

I use sense roms so i didnt know about. Maybe this could be ported to sense too. Would be a good start.
But how do you change volume then?

You have some htc headsets with buttons to do that... explain the buttons you want to do that, and send me pm

Lol, IKR? Do you guys still have your HTC headphones that came with the set? They have back, play/pause, and forward buttons on them.

EDIT: Then again the buttons only work if you're using a Sense build. CM7/MIUI builds are incompatible.

to skip a track you hold vol up or down, to change volume u just press it multiple times (keep tapping till you get your desired volume) works pretty well. As for the original headset, music quality wise its not my cup of tea. I either use my big headphones or my powerful in ear buds
You guys can actually do that with an application, i guess its on the market.. its called Button Remapper, i guess.
im using the beats controltalk with cm7, where i use the center button to pause(just one click), skip forwards (two clicks) , and backwards (three clicks).
It is ment to work with iOS, but it works on good cm7 except the volume control.
Maybe its possible to implement something like that?

thx. it works with my sense build. I almost forgot about the headset.
Unfortunately the headphones are not in-ear.
