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.
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)
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.
No matter which music player I use there are no music lock screen controls when the phone is locked by pin code. Has anyone else noticed this as well?
I noticed that the lock screen music widget does not always appear whenever I play music on speakerphones / headphones. Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not and I am confused as to why this is happening? Is it because of certain headphones?

have you noticed a pattern? So far it doesn't appear when I'm on loudspeaker and on my headphones. If I'm using my cans it works.

I have this problem also. Except here the widget is permanently gone. I used to have it, and it suddenly it does not show anymore. I have tried rebooting the phone a couple of times with no lock. It just will not show anymore.
Anyone found out something?
I think music widget is really bad and looks out of place it needs a simplified look! I have found a way of hiding it constantly
Close music player from slide down menu what ever you call it slide from top of screen.. Have swipe to unlock (no lock code) / allow multiple widgets / then edit lock screen scroll left and the add music player as a widget then disable mutliple widgets. And it will never show up on main lock screen again
Thats my way of getting rid of it because i don't like the look of it so maybe that helps you in some way lol.
I actually like it a lot. I found it. There is a setting for playing music through the dock when docked (what kind of dock? They're all for iPhone...). If this setting is on, the music widget does not appear, even if it is not docked. Switched this setting off, and the widget came back.

Seems like I was a little quick there... It wasn't that after all. After a while the widget failed to show again. After trying a few things I could get it to show whenever I played without any headphones connected and when I plugged in my headset it did not show. But now it doesn't show at all anymore...
I give up on this. I have no clue to what's going on with this feature...
