Hi, I just bought a HTC P3600 (S300+) everything works fine so far. My question is: can it be possible to turn off the screen while windows media player is playing some mp3s, I’m kind of new with this device, I looked on the wmp options and at the system setting but I didn’t find anything, i thing it’s useless to have the screen turned on using the battery if you are listen some music and the device is in your pocket!
Cheers!
Just try another program like Mortplayer or GsPlayer. They all seem to support this feature...
You could use Xbar and assign turn off screen to a button.

Great WMP tip!
Not many keys are available to be assigned (beside directional pad) but I just figured out I could use "HOLD down" and "HOLD up" as key assignments.
Maybe Im the only one to miss that !?
Yes! Thanks for your answers, i did the "hold down" tip, is great!
i also tryed the GsPlayer and Mortplayer, they work fine, the probleme is that i sync my music with wmp on my pc and all music is reencoded in .wma (it's not so bad i can save place when my mp3 are supirior to 160kbps) maby i try another way to sync so i can use GsPlayer cz it look fine.
well, thx again!
I use VJEschaton screenoff / screentoggle to switch off my screen when listening to Carla Bruni

Does anyone know of a Windows Media Player plugin for the today screen that works with version 10 of WMP. THe PHM plugin doesn't work with 10. Also I tried other programs like pocket music but they have bad integration with the operating system and voice command.
Thanks,
Daniel
Here it is...
WMP 10 plugin like IPOD with today screen plugin and portuguese operators configuration. If you do noy need install the 3 operators cab...inside
Thanks- I installed the .CAb but the today plugin only says "Play media files"- is it supposed to have controls- like Play, Stop , Next etc...
The Today Screen plugin opens WMP 10 with a IPOD Screen and on the screen, on the sides you have BIG controls that you can use .
I was looking for a plugin that allows you to control WMP from the today screen. Thanks anyway- also- i have a better Ipod skin that I uploaded here:
I accidently ran the optimus /cab and now my connections are screwed up-
how do I remove it?
FOUND ONE!!!
SPB Just released a perfect WMP Today plugin for WMP 10!!

very simple no control on what to play. just play/pause next/prev and vol up/down it would be nice if we could atleast select a folder or playlist. everytime i start it, it plays my WMA tones! hahaha o well.
Ipod skin
Thanks for the very cool iPod Skin.

Good find, thanks
Why don't you give mortplayer a try, the today plugin for is is great
I have to say that anything that's not WMP just isn't good for the pocket pc (in my opinion) because of the lack of integration with the OS. For example, when I get a call it stops my music, then when i'm finished it resumes playing. As far as I know only WMP does this. Also, all the other players are too fancy for me- I don't need all those controls- just Play,Pause, Volume, and Next/previous track.
Although- does anyone know how to map other buttons. When I try to map other buttons besides the 5 "joystick" buttons it goes to that function. For example, if I choose mute and press "assign" and then press the contacts button- it switches me to my contacts. Same thing for my camera, phone, calander etc...
Any ideas??
Thanks!
ps- I love the iPod skin too!! I got it a while ago and can't find it anymore due to copyright issues. Good thing I saved it on my HD!
I actually found a newer version while seeing if what I wrote was true-
Here you go!
Is there any way I could turn lcd and backlignt on and off just with a press of a button?
The idea is to keep WiFi active, but more important to save some battery when I use TCPMP as an mp3 player.
There is a program called GSPlayer which turns the display off while playing so I know this can be done, but TCPMP has better equilizer (and that's one of the most important things to me).
So, is there any cure for this?
Thank you in advance
Stiv
Give this small program a try:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/screenoffforpocketpc.shtml
It works the same way as any media players.
You may also try MortPlayer, which is derived from GSPlayer, with Equilizer and other effects/presets.
Thank you starwong. This is just what I was looking for
the HTC media manager is the best for this thing.... u can pwer off the screen and it will continue to play.
Hi, I have HTC Home6 plugin, along with HTC audio manager 1.02 installed.
However, the button on home plugin (back,play,fwd) does not work.
I have to actually open htc audio manager in order to play the songs. Did I miss something?
Also, can HTC audio manager sorts songlist by title?
or display chinese/japanese fonts in playlist?
When you use the tab to open your player - what player does it open?
If it opens WMP (which mine did by default) you need to edit the registry and change WMP to Audio manager. Wait a bit, turn the pda off the soft reset.
*I think* it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Music Plug-in\ and there is a value in there which needs to be changed from 1 to 2.
Values:
1 = WMP
2 = Audio Manager
Yes, but he means the buttons on the HTC Home player do not work, which is true.
I found you need to actually open the HTC player, start playing a song or playlist, THEN minimise (while its still playing) it and you can control it from the HTC Home plugin.
How can i edit registry? Do i need to type regedit somewhere like in windows?

You need to install a registry editor. PHM Registry Editor is a very popular one and is free.
As I said above, changing that registry entry will only change the default media player. It WONT solve your problem.
well i think this is no problem, but the plugin is created to work like that, you have to launch the player then press ok button(the hardware one) to minimize and then control it trough the plugin. The same thing is with WMP today plugin, the plugin does not play the music, it launches WMP

Just think about it briefly. How can Audiomanager / WMP play any song if isn't running? That is a bit weird idea.
Same here xplode. Otherwise how else would you choose what music to start playing?
I only said what I said as I know that the control don't work for me IF I use WMP. If I use the audio manager the controls are fine once I've set it playing.

I think you need to re-read my post...this DOES work...you start the media player then MINIMISE it (not close it) and the plugin controls will be working...So I think you may need to think about it briefly...
I have the problem to
If i click on launch music wmp starts. but if wmp plays a song and i minimize wmp the plugin control doesnt work no title song or play or pauze.
You need to re-assign the HTC music player to HTC Audio manager for the buttons to work.
There's a HTC Home customizer floating around somewhere in the forum.

Sorry. I haven't noticed I quoted wrong post. It was a reaction to the first one.
Hi biohead. Do you know the registry setting where I can change the default message application when i click on the message on the HTC Home. If I click on the envelope it points me to the MMS application instead of the outlook mail. Please help.

Another reason
I known the reason why my device stopped all and no sound when using audio manager 1.02. Audio manager does not support 4GB SD card (Trancend economy). When I exchange it with my friend (his device uses 1GB SD card), the problem does not happen. Otherwise he use my SD card, he got the same problem as I did.
Hope, this post would be helpful for someone. Thanks

Hi,
When I press any button on my BT Stereo Headset, my Blackstone always opens WMP.
I want it to use an (any) other player in stead. (pref. CorePlayer of TCPMP)
I did search the forum and I found this problem in some threads but there are no solutions there...
I've tried AVRCP Agent, But it doesnt work. I also tried a2dptoggle but it didn't work at all (just showed a today plugin that did nothing)....
Is there a solution because the library of WMP realy sucks bigtime.
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
Kick,
Anyone?
Try this...
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=1&pid=7
I've got the same problem too. Even if coreplayer is currently playing, when I press the pause button on my bluetooth headphones. It will pause coreplayer and open WMP... WMP is completely awful... I have no clue how to disable it.
Hi Pfeffa-rah. A couple of us are looking for a solution to this very problem in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568142
Which Rom and versions of Windows/Manila are you running?
I know Windows Media Player has a Toggle Screen Off option, but it's difficult to assign a button to it when the SIP keeps disappearing when it asks you for the key you want to assign
Anyone know how to play music with the screen off?
Thanks
Try MortPlayer
Hallo,
Try the MortPlayer http://sto-helit.de/
I use this player since i have a win-mobile-phone. I use it with a bluetooth headset (headphone). The only thing you must do ist installing a little tool to remap the headset-buttons. If you do not, the headset-buttons will start the media-player or use the htc-manila-player.

My Windows 6.5 Stock rom turns the screen off automatically when listening to music, and doesn't stop it. (It used to in 6.5) - I can't turn the screen off myself or it does stop the music.
Dutty's ROMs get this right. very stable, very fast,
Nitrogen is a very good finger friendly audio player, that works also with the display swiched off
Umm, i dont have this phone yet so can somebody help.
Can't we play music with the screen off/sleep mode (from TouchFlo3D's music player/tab)???
This topic is misleading v___v

yes, you can. at least in MOST ROMs. some chefs didnt get this right (Dutty's older ROMs for example would by default use the Windows Media Player and would have problems with playing music while the screen was off.)
However, i am using Dutty's HG R1 and i can play music (and skip tracks, change volume, etc) while in sleep mode.
i hope that's clear enough?
I'm gonna have to bump this topic back.
I'm using Dutty's holy grail r6 rom and everytime i click the power to sleep while music is playing from HTC's music player, it stops.
How do i fix this?
I use the same Rom and the HTC player. If i push the start button on top of the phone, the music stops, but if you let the phone go to sleep by it self, then the music continue after the screen is off.
