Problem - music stop plaing when turn off display

Hi guys!
I have problem with my Touch (Elf).
A months a go I put improper rom and I "kill" the device. Before 2 weeks accidentaly i found ROM wich loads. So I fix it, unlocked and test several other ROM's. Thanks to perfect gudes of ababrekar, dsixda and cmonex USPL Great job!
Before two days I try "Touch of HD" lite version and from this moment whatever ROM I put when press power button to turn off the screen the media player stops and if I'm connected also get disconnected. Before if I press it just the screen goes off.
Probably it calls wrong function and not the soft power off program like before.
How can I fix this? Please give some ideas!!!
Do u use phones? with phones u can turn off screen and hear music. W\o phones the music stops.
Phones?
Actually I never use the phones in that coming with a phone...
Normally I use Bluetooth headphones Nokia 530 or Energy system 4440. But before even without connected bluetooth I can heard the music... strange.
You are right pal.... at hedphones and bluetooth still play.
My bad.... I don know why before play even without... maybe some bug?
I'm happy!!!!

sound stops working!!

in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise
ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??
backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.
Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either
Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck
looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)
My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

yes, sounds like a double negative to me, so switch that to "on" so it won't suspend power. Let us know if it worked.

Nope, didn't.
Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.
Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?
i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work
Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.
I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(
I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.
Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.

Device wont go to sleep during music playback

Hi,
I´ve been having this problem for about 2 days. While mp3 playback, device wont go to sleep when I press power button. I have to pause/stop playback to do so. I dont know why. I havent installed anything before this. I´m using standard player provided by HTC.
This may not sound like a serious problem, but it kills battery real fast while its on. Is anyone having the same problem? Thanks for any answer.
is this without the headphones?
try this its a great lil programe allows soft reset also has a secondary feature called display switch, witch basically turns the screen off but not the phone. i always have this installed on every device ive ever owned.
Ditto - same issue. Its a bug.
The problem occurs when the device is in headset mode - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482027
No solution available AFAIK. Report it to HTC and the more of us that do it might get a hot fix! Cheers

Music Player Apparently stops playing

Anyone else experiencing an issue with the default music player app? Mine stops playing after the screen cuts off. I've got it ignored in task manager. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
In addition, I found that leaving my phone sitting in the passenger seat while playing music can make it randomly skip songs. I don't mean to the next song, I mean to the middle of a random song. And when it finishes, it hops back to where it hopped from.
I am having this issue as well. App is ignored in task manager but music stops playing a minute or so after the screen goes to sleep. It's really getting annoying. Thank you in advance for your help.

I thought there might have been some interfering auto killed app, so I unchecked all of them and proceeded to block half each time to find the problem. 0 apps blocked, music worked after screen went off. Half blocked, music still worked. 3/4 blocked, music still works. 7/8 blocked, music still works. Block everything I intended to be blocked the first time around, music still works.
Yeah, I have no freakin idea why my music stopped after playing with the blocking, but it solved itself somehow. Just try soft reset, give it some time.
I also have the same issue. It doesn't appear to happen when I let the screen lock itself, only when I manually hit lock.

After messing with differnt apps being auto ended, I discovered that the gallery app has something to do with the music player. When I removed the gallery app from the auto end list, the problem went away. When I readded it, it came back. Someone else will probably want to check this but it worked for me
What I did is:
Remove music app from the app killer
Go into- manage apps/music player/force close/clear data
Songs will be deleted
Put the songs back, but put them in the- playlist folder
hope it helps.
I think this may be a no hassle temporary solution.
If your music keeps stopping:
Set your timeout to never, manual lock, unlock, set timeout to your normal setting.
So far, I've only tried letting it timeout on its own, but the music doesn't stop anymore.
Is the music on your SD card or internal memory?
It's on the onboard memory.
it is a system bug
and a third party player can fix it.
i use MIUI player and didnt have that problem
i have my music on both internal and sd card storage... and this keeps happening..
anyone using a different music player? I'd like to find the one used in CM. (any idea where that one can be had?)
I tried Meridian, but the error happened to me once. My quick fix seemed to work still.

I don't have this problem and I can manually or automatically lock without the the music gets interrupted. I don't use any taskkiller? There is no reason to use one in Froyo and not on this powerful phone.
i tried every method you guys have here and theres no luck =[ i hate this i might just take the phone back but apparently is a problem with the OS its self i might just buy and ipod touch
Turns out the task manager was the problem for me. Even though no music applications were on the autokill list, it still killed my music. try removing everything from any task manager or task killer. I'm back to enjoying my phone again.
ramensama: don't be so quick about that.
Sometimes, unlocking and locking the phone is enough to stop it from stopping.
y i got a question not sure its the right thread but.. i have a pair of earbuds with remote and volume and answer keys which does not seem to work on my atrix.. is there anyway to make those keys work.. cause when some one calls it doesnt use the built in mic... i think... anyone having the similar issue?

Thx, this worked for me too. I excluded the Gallery app from the auto-end list and all is good now

Video recorder shut down, too hot?!

Yesterday my s5 stopped recording video. The video option became grayed out and got a message saying the device was too hot and would resume video soon as it cooled down.
It was 90° but never had a phone do that. Maybe it was because I was close to a grill for couple of hours. Anyone else had this happen? Is this common?
