Windows Media Player - No Turn Off while phone phone turned off

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.​

keep music playing with screen off

hi all,
i use htc audio manager to play mp3s on the jade. however, the music stops whenever i press the power button to turn the screen off. anyone knows how to keep the music playing despite turning off the screen? it'll definitely save a lot of power with the screen off..
i've searched around and i've found some solutions which i've tried..for example deleting "disable_exit" and "enter_suspend" from registry, but it doesn't seem to work.. is there any other tweak i can do?
also..i download the htc audio manager today plugin and installed. however, i can't seem to be able to select it at settings>today>items..is it because the today plugin is only compatible for the previous versions of the audio manager?
so sorry for the long questions..thanks for any help!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pressing the power button puts the phone to sleep.. everything sleep. This is how I work around. Set backlight to turn off after, say 1 min, and the music keeps playing even when the screen is turn off.

If you use Windows Media Player instead, you can set what you want to do with the button options.

If you use Windows Media Player instead, the on/off button will switch off the screen only instead .

I think that when you have earphones connected than you can turn off screen by power button and keep playing music in all media players.

^^Correct! When I'm listening to music using earphones, the music keeps on playing even after putting the device to sleep.... I use HTC Audio Manager...

yeah! i just tried with earphones and it worked nicely..hahas..should've just tried with headphones from the start..i was doing testing on the media players without earphones hahas..thanks all for the help

Resco Radio has an option to turn of the screen and the call buttons and leave the sound on.
`unfortunately it´s not free `

When You plug in headset this work!

Help please! Music/bluetooth stereo

Hello. I have got a frustrating problem. I am using stock manila music player and bluetooth application. Bluetooth stereo headset (samsung's SBH 500) connected to HD2. Music is playing and then i am pushing call end button to lock the device and turn the screen off. Everything is ok till the song ends. To continue listening i have to push any button to wake up the screen and then device continues playing next audio file. Have you got any suggestions how to make music player playing songs continously?
ROM: 1.43.479.2 (70124) WWE

P.S.
sorry for my english

Any ideas?

Temporary solution found...
Hi,
first of all: I have the same problem now after I updated to the last T-Mobile ROM (1.72).
Nevertheless, I noticed that the MusicPlayer is still playing the next song, only that I hear nothing anymore via the BT headset - as soon as I switch the device back on, the sound comes back, but the player is already somewhere in the middle of the track.
As temporary fix, I'm now using AEButtonPlus to switch off only the screen instead of switching the device off (standby).
Now the music play continuously via the BT Headset.
...but I'm of course still looking for a real solution...
BR,

music stops when suspended (on speaker)

while I press suspend/power button during listening the music via headphones connected to jack port, music still plays.
problem comes when I want to listen the music "at loud" via build-in speakers. every time I press suspend button or even the phone locks itself (s2u2), the music stops to play :|
how to fix issue.

This is normal behaviour and You can't do anything to fix it.
Install this small CAB and go to the menu/programs - now You can turn off your screen without stopping the music
I'm using this form some time and works very well

[Q] How do I browse the web and play music at the same time?

Hey gang, new TF owner here. I want to play an MP3 in Winamp and surf the net at the same time. How come every time I go to switch applications (by leaving Winamp running, I just hit the home button to start a new app) - the music stops playing.
I'm a little disappointed that I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Anyone have this figured out?

I don't know about WinAMP, but I use the Google Music app and the music doesn't stop when switching apps.

Winamp also plays music in the background, regardless of app switching. Even continues playback even while the screen is turned off, if I recall.

Mine doesn't stop or exit music keeps playing and a notification is added to the bar.

I can confirm on my tablet, Winamp does not keep playing when I switch apps. If it matters, I am using the headset port. Maybe I'll try it without the headset and see if it does.
Maybe the headset port shuts off when the screen goes into sleep mode.

Ok yes, when I am NOT using the headset port, apps play in the background. However, when I use the headset port, the music shuts off when the app is switched (and also when the screen goes into sleep mode).
What's up with that?

I haven't tried Winamp specifically, but every other music app plays in the background no problem with or without headphones plugged in. Music, TuneIn Radio, and iHeartRadio are three that come immediately to mind.

I just download Winamp so I can test and WITH headphone I can multitask and listen to music just fine.
Music still play when screen shut off also.
My built in music player is the same way.
