Hi folks
in the iphone, when i had the headphones plugged in, i use the volume buttons to control the music sound level. This thing works in every app where i was, just as long i listen to music at the same time. for example, i´m writing some emails and listining music at same time. If i choose to increase the sound level of the music, i just touch the up volume button.
But in hd2, i´m only capable of control the music sound level in the "music tab" of the sense UI.
Is there any tweak the i can control the music level when i´m in another app instead of "music tab"?
thanks a lot for your help
best regards
Your HD2 should do this already,adjust volume no matter what
program/app you are using ??
Yes it does. But on music tab, only appears a green bar of the volume control.
If i´m stay on another app, appears that horrible grey screen of sound control with that horrible "beeps" each time i press up or down.
What i want is the same situation like on the "music tab" (that green bar of the sound). You know what i´m trying to say?

Ah,yes now I understand....
There are various cabs to skin both of the volume controls and to remove the beeps,but I haven't seen one that replaces the standard volume for the
Sense music tab volume whilst in another program...
You can of course install Co0kies Home tab and put the music player right on your
one of your home screens in 3 different sizes...
With "touch tools" theres a tool to add the green sense volume overlay to other apps, you just run the app, shake your phone then whenever you use the volume keys in that app you'll get the nice volume meter.........
I dont know if its possible to get that to work on the home screen though..........
Just tried it, cant get it to work on ther manila tabs.
Its still quite handy though for things like opera and ereaders etc........
hello
thanks for your help.
where can i get that app?
thanks a lot
I found it in the search box but you can find it here..............
Once its installed its the "slim volume" your after........
Theres a few other nice little features in touch tools too, its a handy thing to have......
thanks a lot.
i´ll try that
cheers

Hey guys, I listen to music on my phone all the time via the "touch" knockoff audio manager and I love it. I have batterystatus and I really like that I can turn off the screen with a few clicks. My question is does anyone know of a program that I can set my record button (or any programable hard button) to turn off the screen or something along those lines? I would love to still be able to control the music without the display, just to get that much more battery life.
Thanks for any help.
You can choose a hardbutton for screen on/off on the player called "mortplayer".

There are wonderfull skins too!
i know Wizard and Prophet are different...but FYI with my prophet the music keeps going when I tap the off button to "standby"; and I can control the volume/tracks with BT headset.
Don't know why it should be different with wizard.
Also there is a small util in the pdamobiz rom i am running called "displayswitch" which can be mapped to a hardware button. This works if you want to use the phone buttons with the screen off.
edit: turns out displayswitch is part of psshutxp http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/

You can assign any installed program to any of the hardware buttons by clicking Start/Settings/Personal/Buttons. Why not assign PSshut to the record button, and tap "Light Off" when PSshut pops up? This will blacken your screen while listening to music, saving some battery life. You can find PSShut by scrolling the drop down arrow box in "Buttons"
Mortplayer also can be configured to kill the screen and all buttons save one from a timer, in the latest version. Very easy to use, doesn't require an additional program to achieve your goal.
If you're totally locked into your audio manager, though, I'd look into Smartskey. I was not a big fan at first, but it's fairly capable, and with a little tweaking, will probably do what you want.

Hi guys, i've received my Xperia a couple of days ago, installed TomTom 7, Palringo Messenger and zsIRC.
I love it, i simply love it. But i have some problems with the usability which i believe you guys can help me iron out:
- If the Phone is put in Silentmode, the mp3 Players won't work, whether it is the Xperia Player Panel or MortPlayer... is there a workaround for this, or if not, is there a way to put silentmode on a hotkey, because it takes long to flip to the "Today" Page to put silentmode off...
- I tried MortPlayer because i found it hard to control the Xperia Panel Player with my finger while driving, but MortPlayer was kind of buggy, it changed the size to quater screen whenever i opened the keyboard and even without that bug i found it still too small since it didn't use the full resolution.
- Is there some kind kind of Alt+Tab like feature? I'd like to switch between tomtom and the mp3 player while driving and that would need some kind of quick window change button, is there a way of achieving that?
I don't have installed the original wm6.1 volume controle, but i think there are 2 bars and one of them for the system volume. I think it was the left one. Put the volume up and you should be able to hear sth. with the player.
EDIT: The Volume controle pops up when you press the volume down or up button
You can easily adjust volume and between modes normal, vibrate and silent with the volume up/down keys. Keep pushing vol down and you'll get to silent mode. Push vol up and you'll get back to normal mode through vibrate mode.
well, thats solved, but i still need something to change the programs while i'm driving, like a possibility to lay something like alt+tab on the ok button, for example.
Try AE Button Plus. You can set a button (single, double, triple or long press) for i.e. task manager (pretty neat aebp's own), alt+tab or switch to next application.
Hi,
Apologies if this has already been covered - it's not in the wiki and search comes up with nothing.
I've noticed that HTC have made the volume control different depending on which application is active. If I'm watching a youtube video and use the volume side buttons, the volume slider is a nice little side pop-in. Likewise with Windows Media Player. But everywhere else (CorePlayer for example), the regular volume control screen comes up.
I guess there must be somewhere in the registry to add applications where the sidebar volume control appears rather than the standard one.
Does anyone know where?

Its quite easy just a few steps and off you go!
I want to turn off the screen while listening to the media player on the speaker. Normally this can be fixed by configuring a hardware button.
Open up Windows Media Player on your Pocket PC
Tap Menu > Options > tap the right arrow to toggle over to the Buttons tab
Tap the Buttons tab and scroll down the page to the end until you see the "Toggle Screen" option. Tap it to highlight it, then tap the Assign button and then press the button you 'll press to toggle the screen on or off.
Tap OK at the top of the screen and you're done.

However, I can not find a button which works. Has anyone an idea to fix this?
yep me too
yep, i have this problem too. like to go to sleep listening to the player but then the light stays on the whole time!
any update
A work around
I have had the same problem. My solution is to use AE button plus.
I've assigned Volume up key as follows. 1 click - up arrow, 2 click - page up and long click - volume up.
(Similar for down volume)
Next in media player I assigned up volume key to toggle screen.
Now when I 1x click volume up the screen toggles, but if I long click I get volume bar which then allows volume keys to work as normal ie Single clicks up/down volume.
alternatively if you're just listening to music you could install nitrogen player. which is far better than the standard media player (imo)

just press the 'power' icon and the screen will switch off and the audio continue to play.

Pocket music is also good
Nitrogen! It's superb. And, the volume buttons still work with the screen off (although the latest build links its own volume to the system volume which causes problems - I use v1.0 which leaves system volume separate).
You can use PowerOptions to turn off the screen while listening to music, see here :

Trick
Hi,
This is a trick that works with the Touch.
1. play some music with the Headphones jacked in
2. with the headphones still in, turn off the screen
3. pull out your headphones and the mediaplayer will use the built in speaker, even though the screen is OFF.
try it and report the results
no warranty, since it works with my Touch, but I don´t know, it may work with the Diamond II.
Didn´t work
Uhmmmm!!
I got my Diamond 2 last weekend and I tried this without success.
Sorry guys
Hey guys,
i got a couple of questions regarding music playback on the hd2.
1. is there a way to decrease the steps one press of a volume button does?
atm when i try to adjust the volume by pressing the buttons its like i can only choose between 20/40/60/100 % of sound intensity, which is kinda annoying when you have to pull out your device just to get to 50%.
is there some sort of registry entry i can edit?
2. i'm using the built in music player, which i am really comfortable with, but it bugs me out, that i cannot sort my mp3's alphabetically or by artist, i just see the covers.
2.b and is there an option to repeat + shuffle ALL albums, not just one?
i searched for this in the forums, but didnt find anything related to, or maybe its just really obvious and im just too dumb to see
thanks in advance
riz
2. Click on Library (lower left corner)
2b. Shuffle, and Repeat all. (Select a song in library when viewing songs, it will load all the songs you have)
oh well, lol how could i've missed that one..
ty very much.
any other opinions on 1?
