Stock Music & Power Off - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

Hello all once again,
I come to you with (yet) another question and possibly a request.
I really enjoy using the Stock Music Tab that comes with the Touch Pro, but an issue I have is whenever music is playing and I press the Power button, the music stops. As such, I was wondering, is there a registry edit or cab file which would allow the player to keep playing music after the power button has been manually pushed to be off?
I know that S2P allows the music to continue playing after I press the Power button, so what is the difference between it and the Stock Music Tab which is preventing the latter from doing the same thing? Is it possible that it only does this when in conjunction with S2U2?
Anyways, thanks in advance.

I have a Fuze and it works out of the box (power is off and music is playing).

In application button mapping

Hello,
I've got a problem with mapping hardware buttons from inside applications, to make them e.g. play next song, raise the volume and so on. Most of the applications does not even notice that I am pressing a button, some do notice only the Win and OK buttons. Some notice all, record the code, but only the Win and OK work then. TCPMP player notices all and they all work (with a minor things, like that up and down are the similar as wheel up and down), but TCPMP is not quite a program you could use for listening MP3's.
If anybody's got a solution, or hardware-mapping-able program for listening to music, please tell me.

Workout music software

I recently purchased a arm band for my Sprint HTC Touch Pro and it is going to be in a sleeve. Is there some software which I could play a list of songs and it wouldn't stop and disable my screen without pressing the power button?
Just figured I would show my support for this question.
The inability to turn the screen off makes it pretty much worthless for the only time I'd ever want to play music.
Try touchlock pro. and just lock screen.
i just use the touchflo 3d player, does the trick for me create your playlist with media player (fastest way for me to do this was to put my workout tracks in a folder played them in media player and just saved the list.)

Slightly off topic, but where did you buy your armband, and do you like it so far?

my sol'n to this was to use stereo bluetooth. after the music starts playing just scroll back to home (or any other tab), then press the power button to put the screen to sleep. when pausing/playing using A2DP, the screen will come back on, so it'd be a good idea to install something like S2U2 that locks the screen, otherwise you may accidentally press something.
i believe you can use S2P with S2U2 as well, but that seems to be playing through WMP instead of the tf3d player. creating a playlist is more troublesome with wmp
I use Coreplayer with an HTC Diamond Skin. It works well, looks good, and will continue to play with the screen off. If you're interested I can post the skin.

I use the normal Windows Media Player which comes with WM6.1, and it shouldn't turn off the music when you turn off your screen.
Well, as long as you use headphones, and not the devices' speakers.
Mine no longer does this. . I've flashed many ROMs since, maybe I got lucky with one of the ROMs but it would shut off even when using bluetooth stereo.
Now it's cool!
Nitrogen is pretty good music player and also has a button to turn off the screen while keeping the music going.

[Q] Music Player Autokill

Is it just me? The problem is the music player autokills itself without saving its play position, no matter if I use home or back buttons.
I hear music then press pause, home button (should only suspend the app), do something else... some hours later I want to resume playing music, but the player has gone to its initial state.
Am I doing something wrong?
Never had this issue (and I use it all the time) you can try another player like doubletwist or music
Firmware issue
I didn't have this issue with the shipped firmware (JF3). Now I'm on JPM but had this with all Froyo builds.
Player version is 1.1.1.
I don't want another player...

[Q] How to stop mic button from starting media player?

I did several searches, but was unable to find an answer to this. I hope one of you can enlighten me
I recently installed the "Listen" app to listen to podcasts. When i plug in the stock headphones that come with the Captivate and then click the mic button on it, it will bring up & control the media player playback instead of Listen. Is there a way to configure the behavior of this button? Is there a way to keep it from bringing up the Media Player app and instead control the Listen app?
Thanks!
I've been having the same issue. I installed winamp, but I get the same thing.
I installed doubleTwist, and it looks like it properly takes over button so that the stock music player app is no longer launched. Does this mean Listen is not doing it right?

[Q] Controlling Music From Watch - How?

I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.
What am I missing?

You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.
You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.
There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.
Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.
I've just finished developing my Wear Music Controller app to solve this problem for me:

You can play/pause/next/prev/stop/vol-up/vol-down from your watch! Works with all music apps. Let me know what you think!
