I use the stock player because it works very well with the Gear and because other players won't send track/title info to my headphones, probably due to changes in BT 4.
Anyway, on the stock music app, I set the Smart Volume option, and the next time I open the player it's back to unchecked. Bug? Feature? Anyone know how to make it stick?

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.

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.

Try turn on 5.1 option when watching a movie, maybe it's only for this? Anyway I'm using it only with videos and didn't try with music.
I can turn it on while watching a video but cant do the same in music player.
Mines has worked from day 1 with the music player. I never touched anything, just when I put my music on and pressed 5.1 it worked.
You have to have both effects turned off, equaliser, and the other one, to get it to work.
Works fine here.
From day #1 I don't have problems with 5.1 ch mode. Works fine. Wthat did you change on your phone? Maybe a hard reset will help?
Found out the prob. My equaliser was set to auto and because of that 5.1 wasnt being activated.
Thanks for the help.

The music player is good with the 5.1. The auto eq setting is also good considering it reads id tags from genre and activates the particular eq preset for the genre(i think, after experimenting with some tracks)
However, the player only recognizes play and pause and llaunch player from the inline mic button of the headset. Would be nice to support press twice to next track, press thrice to go back
I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?
that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.
I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.
I have a question about the headphones with controls that are bundled with the Note 3. They have 3 buttons for volume up, down, and pause.
The thing is, I use Poweramp as my primary music player, and whenever I double click the pause button to go to the next song it takes my phone off vibrate and turns on its system audio. This is a pain in the ass for when I don't want my notification/ringtone sounds on, but am listening to music and want to skip songs using the headset controls.
Any thoughts or solutions for this issue? Are there any headset settings in the menus that I'm missing?
Hi,
I have installed a BLP-950A (Octa Core with Android 7.1) in my vehicle. Unfortunately, there is a problem with the integrated music player in conjunction with navigation apps. The music player crashes sporadically and then the navigation app stops working. Only when I close the music player completly, the navigation works normally again. The problem occurs on Google Maps and Here we go. However, if I run the radio instead of the music player, the problem does not arise.
TomTom Go has another problem that the default computer voice is distorted as soon as I put this app as the default navigation app in the system. If I take the assignment away, the standard computer voice works normally, but much too quietly, and it does not dampen the music when route announcements come along. How I can fix this?
Therefore, another question, I would like to change the standard music player with e.g. with poweramp. Unfortunately, Poweramp does not continue playing as soon as I turn off the device and turn it back on. I always have to open poweramp completely after each reboot and press play to resume.
Tom
