Play YouTube vids while Screen is off ""NoRoot""NoExtraApps""
Hi,
So I Discovered a way to play YouTube videos without the need of being in the youtube app, You can even play when The screen is off
# This method does not require youtube red
# No root is needed
It's actually pretty simple all you need is headphones or earphones with a pause/play Physical button.
1) Plug in the headphones
2) Play any youtube video from the youtube app.
3) Press your home button or switch off your screen, But don't remove youtube from memory.
4) Now all you need to do is click the Physical play button in your headphones.
Idk if it does work on other devices. But it worked on mine
LG G5 (H850) running nougat
Also heard for step 4, once the screen is off, double click the AOD screen to go to Media controls and just press "play."
Step 5) Progress
You can do this easier by simply playing the video you want in the background, locking the phone and then swiping right on the clock on the lock screen and pressing play. No headphones needed
Amazing it works with screen of and pressing on play button on my bluetooth headphone . thanks

hi ;..
i'am looking for a very small MP3player that can play music if screen of my PDA is off ...
htc audio manager, not sure which version but one of the newer ones
Windows Media Player can.
i have MortPlayer set to shut the screen off after 10 seconds (time is adjustable), and while off, all buttons except the action button (in the middle of the d-pad) are disabled. the action button turns the screen back on and all buttons go back to working as normal. i do this so i can throw the phone in my pocket and not worry about buttons (screen or hardware) getting hit, but i can also feel the action (which becomes the pause/play button when the phone wakes) without having to take the phone out of my pocket.
I know this old and is a common problem but have searched Google, XDA-Developers, Xpansys and other forums without a working solution...
I have the TYTN II... when playing music either WMP or HTC Audio Manager the screen only dims. Side power button only dims and will NOT shut screen off from any application while music playing. The button works when music is not playing or headphones not plugged in. I even tried my bluetooth stereo headset and same problem while playing music.
I tried other apps like SPB PocketPlus (screen toggle), MortPlayer and PSshutXP with button assignments as well as a few other suggested "fixes" with no success. The results are the same. Even the power off buttons in these programs only dim my screen.
This used to work (side power button) but after installing some apps I noticed this problem. Unfortunately can't pinpoint exactly when it started. Not sure if they are the culprits. Apps that were installed...
walking hotspot
vsdraw
phonex
pocket mechanic

I also unistalled Phonex because I thought it was causing my phone to shutdown but later found out my battery is heading for the graveyard (almost 1.5yrs). I later reinstalled Phonex.
I did find a reg fix to keep music playing while off but without headset. Once a headset is plugged in or BT connected, then screen only dims.
wav1=0 in System\CurrentControlSet\...\Unattended key
UnattendedPlayback=1 in Software\Microsoft\Media Player\Preferences key
I have spent at least 12 solid hours over the past week looking for a fix with no working solution. I really don't want to resort to ROM flash since I may not be able to re-install some important apps. Anyways... anybody with a registry (or other) fix on this?
PLEEEEASE help!!! I travel intensively and listen to audio teachings while on the go.
TYTN II screen off solved!!!
Praise the Lord!!! found a solution that works! ...just can't remember the post anymore where I found this answer to give credit to the guy...
Well, just put this little screen saver .exe file on your device somewhere and then would be best to put a shortcut in the StartMenu. When you want to turn the screen off (i.e. during playback) then go to Start Menu and click the link. Works like a charm.

I use psShutXP to turn off my screen for problems like that. It does similar things, but also contains button to soft reset as well as turn off the screen.
coreplayer has the option built in and is a better player as well
you can assign "blank screen" to any hardware button
i assigned it to the space bar as i have one of my hardware buttons bring up the input panel
works with bluetooth and btaudiotoggle
if audio is the main goal...coreplayer should be your answer
i just use s2p (slide2play)
LOVE IT!!!!!
plus i use s2u (slide2unlock)
so when I start up my music.. hit the power button and music stays running but device turns off and locks... grab phone and hit power button you can control the player but not dial out or anything until you slide to unlock again....
screen only dims when playing music
The screensaver fix works but found out (in the dark) that the screen only goes black and not off. There is still a faint back light so some power is still being consumed. Has anyone found a registry fix?
All these other options listed in this post still only dim my screen while headphones plugged in. It works well when no headphones in use... There must be a registry key I can edit.
Hey guys, I can swear that when I first had my TMOUS HD2, I could play music on the sense music player, and could then press the end button to turn the screen off without the music stopping. For whatever reason now, whenever I press end to turn the screen off, however, the music also stops. I can't figure out if I changed a setting anywhere or not, but any ideas? Fyi, I installed TCPMP player and messed with a few of the "play music/video" in the background settings, but I don't think that's what's doing it.
I am not sure about sense player but most of the music players I tried have the turn screen off option. The only player which plays even if the screen is locked from outside the player is the "Pocket Player" (conduits.com). You can change that behavior though.
also if you hit the screen off button (one on the right/hang up button) then hit it again so the lock screen comes up this has made a difference for me... (allows the non windows media player player to keep playing)...
A solution to that will be welcomed. I want my LastFM client to keep on playing after the screen goes off. Currently it starts to stutter and then shuts up.
On the HTC HD, I used the "nueDynamicClock" application, which could maintain (for chosen applications) higher CPU clock while the HD went into suspend. This app does not work on HD2.
Please advice
Thanks
My sense player keeps playing as i hit the hang up button and screen turning off... Don't know if this helps, but here are my versions:
OS: 5.2.21869.5.0.82
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR (Norwegian official updated ROM)
Radio: 2.06.51.07
Anyways, the sense player isn't what i want it to be, it is far too limited, so i use CorePlayer. CorePlayer also plays with the screen off, no problems.
Have you tried using S2U beta (from the people who made S2U2)?
I was having the exact issue, but S2U is a god send. You can control the skip, play/pause and volume buttons with the screen locked.
It's very good, especially if combined with S2U2 for text, email, mms and calendar previews while the phone is locked. Well worth checking out.
There are threads on xda-developers about both.
The funny thing is, I'm on a stock TMOUS rom, and I definitely recall that at least in the beginning, I was able to have the sense music player keep playing with the screen turned off. Thus, there must be a way to get this back again. Any more ideas?

Update: For no apparent reason at all, it seems that my phone has reverted back to "normal" and now allows me to play music in the background with the screen turned off. Did absolutely nothing.
Have you tried the start button and then lock.
I use this when listerning to audio books viaTCPMP

Yup, I can lock the phone just fine without the music turning off, but it's as soon as I then press end to turn the display off (even after locking the phone) that my music suddenly stops playing. And as an update to my previous update, my phone has decided to revert back to pausing as soon as I turn the screen off! Just when I thought all was well...
Once you have locked your phone there is no need to to ress the end key. Your screen will switch off depending on your timeout settings.
Hi,
If I don't have my mp3 player with me, there is still some music on my phone. The annoying thing is, it turns off always when I turn off the screen of the device. I am using the original htc player. I don't want to have the screen on, because the phone is in my pocket and it opens all possible stuff while I am moving. Is there a solution to that, or do I need a different player?
download slide 2 play. it is free and does everything you want it to do.
This happens because when you hit the power button you are suspending the device. What you want to do (to keep the music playing) is just turn the screen off without actually suspending the device. Find a program to toggle the screen.

Is there a way to disable lock screen widgets without closing the playing audio.
I listen audio through my bluetooth and keep my phone in my pocket. Currently leaving anything playing keeps a widget on the top of the lock screen. All to frequently I find that I have skipped the song I wanted to hear or have jumped forward 25 minutes in my book. I found a setting in Podcast Addict and that app no longer does it.
I am rooted and using the stock rom. Would screen shots help?
I went ahead and contacted Samsung, the say it cannot be done.
Explain to me in more detail what you mean because I stream music and books, etc.. from my phone all day long and have no issues with it.
As an example, I use NPR One I launch the app, start streaming audio then press the power button to lock and power off the screen. If the power button gets pressed again the lock screen has audio controls. In this case it would only be play/pause and skip. I don't want those controls on the lock screen.
