HI,
Can anyone tell me if the music player carries on running when you put the phone into standby mode?
Thanks
Good question, so...Bump!
same as previous HTC device, music player will continue to play even you press the power button and put the device to standby mode.
however, this apply to when using headphone or A2DP device only.

Hi Guys
Just a quickie
Am sure my diamond used to play music via HTC Audio even after i pressed the power off button to save the battery but all of a sudden power off now kills the music.
Ive been searching but couldnt find anything so do any of ya know how to restore this feature.
Thanks
Tim
Music with power off...
... only with the headphones plugged in / or bluetooth headset connected. If you've got this issue with headphones connected, it's probably a bug in the ROM you're using, or you've messed up some registry settings
of course. Forgot
Thanks
Anyone have any info on this?
My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.
Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.
But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.
There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.
Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.
Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.
Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far
Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.
Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.
Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.
My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.
EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.
EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.
I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.
Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.
Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.
Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?
i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.
If anyone has a fix for this, please post
Thanks!
Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
I use a Jabra BT8010 bluetooth headset, and the music continues to play after pressing the power button. The music is shut off if playing through the phones speaker....this is the same as my previous phone (htc TYTN II)
Greetings everyone!
I recently purchased a Samsung i9000m with Bell Canada. Thankfully I have not had any major problems with the phone, but there is one large annoyance I have discovered: Whenever the headphones are plugged in, pressing the button on the headphones cord starts the Music Player app. Additionally, removing the headphones also starts the Music Player app. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour from their phone? Is there a way to stop this irritating "feature"?
My phone is currently all stock/not rooted, except that I recently upgraded the firmware to JH2 (this behaviour also existed on the previous firmware).
Many thanks in advance,
Matt
The first feature is intentional. ( Why else would you press the button again? )
I don't get the second. ( It does pause when I pull it out, and it starts playing if I have that setting on, when I put it in. )
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure I was clear. Anytime the music player isn't running (i.e. after turning on the device), unplugging the headphones will load the music player. Similarly, pressing the button on the headphones (i.e. to answer an incoming call while I'm driving my car) will also start the music player!
Basically I want the music player to only load when I choose it from the apps page or home screen...I almost liken it to a weird version of "autoplay" from windows computers...I wish there was a way to turn it off with a simple check-box!
Can confirm that unplugging any cable from the headphone plug will open the music player app.

Well that makes two of us....I guess that means I'm not imagining things!
Doesn´t open Musicplayer when plug out the headsetcable on my SGS. Maybe you have any other music player widget or app installed?
I saw that also. Better yet, even killing the app with autokiller, adter a few seconds... there she was again playing.
I was in transit that tine and could not investigate the problem. Didn't use musicplayer much lately so don't know if the problem still exists.
For me the trigger was the headset button. Click that sucker and you have an annyoing Musicplayer that returns from the deads.
yeah very annoying. i was just testing the tv out and it still starts it when unplugging the cable.
Just a FYI.
You'll get the same effect when using a Bluetooth Stereo headset
1 tap to wake up the phone
2 tap to launch the music player
double fast tap to skip to the next song
1 tap long hold to call last number dialed
... and there are more tricks, but that's usually what i do
I was playing with my other phone SE K800i. It's music player has a great feature, I believe. Whenever the music plays, even if the phone is locked, if the volume buttons are hold...the song is changed.
Volume up Held -> Next song.
Volume Down Held -> Previous song.
Can this be coded into the music player apk for the 2.2.1 Got? I would like to do it my self but I do not code!
Any help is appreciated guys!

Hello all... looking for development ideas / possible solutions for music skip function while phone it turned off in my pocket.
Please read to understand what I'm thinking ;-)
I'm looking for anyone with suggestions to a small problem of mine...
I recently upgraded? to the Nexus S from the Nexus One. My problem is that I use the phone a lot for Music and I was using a custom 2.3.4 ROM that implemented track ball music skip functions on the Nexus One and I really miss them on the Nexus S a lot !
I have the CyanogenMod volume control music skip implemented but I find that when the phone is in my pocket and I try and find the volume controls, I end up pressing the power button accidentally on the opposite side at the same time thus turning on the screen and canceling the music skip functions. I end up fighting with my Nexus S to skip the the next music track or I just end up changing the music volume instead.
--------------
I would like to implement a Tap to Skip function... so when the phone is off and in my pocket I can just tap it two or three times to skip the track.
My plan was to implement the skip function in the PhoneWindowManager and use OnGestureListener for taps...but I guess this is not going to work when the screen is off ??? so the other option is using the Accelerometer to detect the taps but I don't have much of a clue how to do that.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Oxygen Rom can skip to next track when holding vol up button and display turned off.

Get some headphones with track skip buttons/functionality.

Thats an idea but I think a tapp to skip is a lot more universal and convient. Plus I don't think I've ever seen good headphones with this button... and I'm not sure the functionality even exist in Android?
Does anyone even know if it's possible to get GestureDetector.OnDoubleTapListener to detect tapps when the screen is off... I assume no as the touch-sensor will also be powered down.
So I'm looking for ideas to use the accelerometer to detect tapping... I will write some code tonight and see if there is any way within my skill set to do this.

It does exist, although not all head phones work with it and its kinda finicky. But, hey, its easier than writing code

Part of your problem seems to be mixing up the volume buttons and power button. I find this problem will probably lessen as you get more and more used to the phone. This is a problem I never have due to the difference in feel of the screen and the back of the phone I always know where the volume and power keys are.
I've found the CM volume key controls to be much too slow as they only allow for long press track changing. May I suggest you give PlayerPro a go? PlayerPro is the only music app I've found that allows for lockscreen music controls allowing you to reverse the key taps so that a short press of the volume keys allow for track changing. Albeit, this means that the screen must be turned on for the track skip via volume buttons to work, I personally love this interaction(intended or not). If I simply want to change my volume, I leave my screen off and tap the volume keys. If I'm trying to track change, I simply tap the power button, and then use the volume keys to switch tracks. I then press the power button once more to turn the screen off again.
May seem a bit complicated at first, but I can't imagine listening to music without this function now, it's just too useful. Don't know if that will work for you, but maybe give it a try. For someone like me who shuffles an entire library, often skipping tracks, skipping tracks via long press of volume buttons is WAY too slow. The short press skip track function of PlayerPro is perfect for me though. Maybe it'll work out for you too.

Did you ever tried this : Menu/cyanogen settings/lock screen/delay and timeout/screen timeout delay = 30m screen turned off delay = 30m
you screen should be off but lockscreen doesn't
it may help.
I used to skip track by double tapping the mic button on headphones.. but that was using my vibrant on touch wiz. Don't know if it works on nexus rom

There used to be an app on the market, shake to skip, not sure if it is still there?

The stock HTC headset works reasonably well. Not the loudest, though. Also not very comfortable.
So I guess, it's not really a 'good' headset.
This is a great idea to implement, i can't find any decent android headphones so this would be the next best thing

Iphone earphones work the same, there's almost certainly some decent iPhone ones on the market.
