While playing MP3music, I would like my X1 to turn off (completely) the backlight, to save battery. It could go off automatically (by the timing defined in the Energy configuration), or manually (by pressing the on/off button). However, I have found this weird behaviour:
a- Using Windows Media Player, backlight goes to a "dimmed" state, but it is still on. The display never goes completely off. If I press the on/off button, reproduction is stopped (and the display goes off).
b- Using CorePlayer (my favorite media player), works similar than in Win Media Player. I have tryed all the related configuration options, but didn´t work.
c- Using the Xperia Media Panel (which I hate), while playing music if I press the on/off button, media continues playing, and the display goes completely off, as it should be.
How can I configure Windows Media Player or CorePlayer to turn off backlight, but still continue reproduction (as in the Xperia Panel) ??
Thank you.

A) No Solution
B) No Solution.
C) This is why I use the Media Panel.
You can try Conduit's Pocket Player. It is better than CorePlayer for audio files, the only con is that it doesn't look fancy like the Media Panel. It also supports the functions you mentioned.
Thank you for your answer poetryrocksalot,
It´s incredible that such a simple feature of turning off the backlight to save battery while reproducing music is not available in a product like Core Player, wich has a lot of feedback from users, and has a LOT of configuration options...
I will try also Conduit´s..
It is incredible how unaware many users are of these features being available. WMP is easiest. Check out the options. You can set a key to turn off the display. I recommend long press up or long press down. Another option is to generally assign a hardware key to "Display off" using Spb Pocket Plus or AeButtons. This solves the problem for Coreplayer as well.
if you plugged-in your headphones, then you can turn-off display and hear music
//sorry for my bad english
many players support you making a hardware button asigned to the function
often called toggle screen
which does just what you request know that wmp have it or at least used to last
I used that player
Thank you very much! I have installed AEButtons, as suggested by Firewall, and now not only can turn off the screen, but do a lot of new things!
Now I have had to uninstall AEButtons, because it interacts with PhonEX, which is an improved dialer I use. When I have an incoming call, it seems that PhonEX "unloads" AEButtons...
then do as I told you
in wmp
click menu->options->buttons->toggle screen
assign the key you want to turn off the screen
start playing music and click the assigned button and it turn
off the screen
Hi all,
I am trying to use the music tab of TF3D (using firestorm) and have a little problem.
It seems that the music stops when I screen lock the device by clicking the power buttone.
Is there a way to make it not stop playback whether the device is locked or not?
Thanks.
my solution is to use S2play and S2U2 like that you use de player when the phone is locked ; and it's very cute
Hi ,
i was just wondering.. Since the LG optimus offers gesture control,
could it be possible to tweak this controls?
For example, i really like the option to double tap the side of the phone for 'next song' in mp3 player, but this option only works when the music app is 'open'.
It would be really cool if i could also use the gesture controls when my phone is in my pocket , playing music while on screen lock. Right?
I also read somewhere that Apple plans to use the side of the display to control games , could this be possible on the Lg Optimus as well ?
What do you guys Think?
Kees
Basically a good idea... BUT what if you walk with your phone in your pocket? It would switch the song all the time!
Controlling games with gestures would be cool and from my pov possible, say double tap on the side means reload or use nitro
yeah you get it. . i wanna know how the gesture control works..
Does it work like the 'touch sensitive lamps' ? so capacitive ?
(see http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/science-questions/touch-sensitive-lamp.htm)
if so , your pants would be able to switch songs , cause its not a electrical conductor
or are they ?
it has these features.
just go to settings gestures and there you can activate it.
bit the double tapping for the music player just works when its on the screen, and not in background.

MX Player !!!
Just yesterday I installed the newest MX Player again to see what kind of feature set it has. And I don't even know how new it is but it actually has two separate "Kid Lock" modes.
So, in the Settings->Player->Touch Controls->Lock Mode
There are two options:
1) Kids Lock - locks out the screen and buttons (except for power and volume at least on my Galaxy Nexus)
2) Kids Lock (+ Touch Effects) - Same as kids lock, except it adds ToddlerLock style screen effects.
I hope this helps!
Hello everyone, is there a way to make sure that the buttons to change the volume on the headphones can change the song?
thank you very much

Yes just doubletap the answer button , triple to go back or something like that test it out for yourself
I use the philips headset app (free in the play store). Allows you to control your music player with the single button on the headset, adjust the button press settings, and tune the sound a bit. I've tried a few of the other free control apps and found this one to be the best free app to do the job.
The best feature of this app is the fact that you can adjust what the button presses do...with other apps you have to pay in order to get that function.
Everything works perfect and thank you all for your help
