Hi everyone,
So I've searched Google and these forums but am coming up empty handed.
As of the last few weeks, whenever I press the music icon in the notification tray to pull up the controls and hit the pause button, the little icon just disappears and I have to then go back into the music app to resume play, which then puts the icon back down there. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? This is the stock music player btw. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I did find one article in the Google forums with the same issue but it was never answered. Thanks in advanced!
Do u run stock rom on u r a500?
This is not exactly a bug. Since there is no "stop" button Google uses "pause" as both. You can make a widget which will have a play button on it. This is really the simplest "fix."

Hi everyone,
finally, after reading many posts of people experiencing strange behaviour from their XDA2, I have finally joined the club!
Two things have happened in the last week that I cannot explain, so I'm hoping that one of you has experienced the same things and, more importantly, found a solution! :wink:
Firstly, Windows Media Player refuses to open. When I try to access it (whether through the programs menu or a shortcut through "Battery Pack Pro") the word "Start" at the top of the today screen briefly changes to "Windows Media", but then immediately switches back to "Start". I have deleted all media that i had, but no difference. Soft reset has not helped
Secondly, the small Bluetooth icon that is situated at the bottom right of the today screen (the command bar) has suddenly dissappeared. This is no big deal, as I can access a shortcut to it through "Battery Pack Pro", but its still a mystery and would prefer it to be where it was! Soft reset has not helped
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Many thanks in advance
<bump> Anyone?
Has anyone had a problem with Media Player not starting or the Bluetooth icon in the bottom right hand corner of the today screen disappearing?
If yes, how did you fix it?
Thanks
I often listen to music while I'm doing something else on my Touch Pro.
I wish I had an Icon on the title bar, which, when clicked, will expose a simple music control interface....Next, Previous, Pause/Play, Mute
Does this exist already?
It is maybe a bit too much, but look at WkTask. It gives you a taskmanager visible with any application which is not full screen. With one click you get the music player into the foreground and with an other click you minimize it back.
I was hoping to NOT have to leave my current app to do it.
I have QuickMenu mapped to my home key...so I'm current two clicks away.
I was just hoping for something hwere I didn't have to leave my current app to control the music.
Conduit's PocketPlayer does what you're looking for. However, it is not a free app. (Though, it is really good.)

That's right! This can be enabled via Menu-->More-->Options-->Advanced-->Interface-->Show notification icon
wrong place for questions
please refer to the Q&A sectio
thank you
On my Kaiser, when I got a text message a long MP3 would play which I could cancel by pressing the Red call hang up button.
Very annoyingly on the HD2 there doesn't seem to be any way to stop the MP3 so it just keeps on playing for a few minutes. The hang up button just switches off the display but the song carries on playing.
Anyone have an idea for a workaround?
You simply cut the favorite part of your mp3 and use that as a ringtone?
Unfortunately it's not that simple. I need the whole MP3 to play until I cancel it.
As I need the text message to wake me up if sleeping or be heard from another room etc.
I don't have an HD2 yet, but can't you just turn it over to stop the tone?
Just tried that, doesn't work.
Duplicate post
Can't believe no-one else is being bugged by this problem?
the only way i found out is long pressing end call button and tap "set vibrate".. also pretty disappointed by this behaviour
This happens on all htc devices (and as far as i know on all windows mobile phones), your sms tone is set to ALERTS, meaning that it will play the whole song before it stops. I think you should switch to a shorter alert tone.
It doesn't happen on all windows phones as my Kaiser could stop the song, but I was using a newer 6.5 build I guess, although I did think all 6.5 roms had the capability of stopping the mp3.
does it still play when you've read the text msg?
Yes unfortunately it carries on playing.
then I've got nothing...
tried looking in settings under the sound and notifications?
Yes
I think it's just a fault that hasn't been fixed in 6.5 but has in 6.5.1. So once custom roms are out that will be a solution.
default notification
and whats the default SMS ringtone ,does it have a short one preinstalled?
Pressing the volume rocker used to stop this on my diamond
Has anyone with the new 1.61 rom found this problem has been fixed?

I got all my tracks in Storage Card/My Documents, when I change my ringtones they appear in the list.
I haven't found any solutions to stop the sms but when it is a calendar related the music stops as soon as you press dismiss or view the appointment, perhaps there is a key there that can be transferred to sms functions?
How do I get back to my music player home screen from the now playing screen? The music player home screen being the screen where I can select music album/artist/song/playlists etc. When I'm at the now playing screen I click on the small music list icon on the bottom right which takes me to the last used screen, i.e the music album list or playlists. BUT, when I click the back arrow on the top left, it takes me back to the now playing screen?? How to I go back to the main music home menu?
The only way I've found is I have to click the options button then 'End', which closes the music player. Then it comes back. However I've not found a way to get to the home screen without closing the app
I think I might have just missed something. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.
In the playing now screen hit the back option (on the phone bottom right ) this takes you back to albums/artist etc option .

If you press the 'mood' button (furthest right just below the album art ) then you get a menu at the top with artist, album etc

Hi Xda fans
I recently Purchased the G900W8 and Ive run into the following issue.
I don't have any music on my phone and there aren't any videos yet either, but still the Music player shortcut controls keep coming up on my lock screen. at random times multiple times a day (without opening the Music player app) the music controls will come up on the lock screen even tho there is nothing to play. When i open my Task Manager/ Active applications tab its all clear and even when i clear my recent apps tab the controls will still be on my lock screen.
The only way i can get rid of the controls on the lock screen is by opening the Music Player app then going and going and clearing the recent apps and forcing the app to close.
Then the Controls will be gone from my lock screen, for about an hour or so.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Have you used the phone in water at all? I read another thread where a wet headphone jack was auto starting the music player.
Tapped it!
