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

I recently got an O2 XDA IIi (Alpine) and have fiddled about with it a bit, not gone as far as flashing the ROM or whatever. Havn't even paid for it, so don't really want to totally screw it just yet.
What I have done is transfer some songs to my SD card, and I listen to them whilst travelling to work. I just put WMP on to play, and manually disable the backlight at the moment, but its still possible for buttons or the screen to get pressed.
Simply put, short of getting a full case for it or turning it off (which stops Media Player playback) is there anyway to lock the touchscreen and hard buttons, ie: like the original Nokia Menu > * keylock? I will eventually get a case for it, but right now I've got -zero- money.
I've searched as far as I'm able this evening, and have come up with nada!
I've got a quick fix for this, in that I set my PDA to password-lock at 0 minutes, turn off the backlight manually and then turn it off and on again.
Is there a simpler way to accomplish this?
On your way to work, you could also read the manual whilst listening to the sweet music. Then you would realise that your "solution"is not the best you can find :shock:
Seriously, you can set a hardware button by clicking on Menu>Options in windows media player and set hardware button for whatever you want 8)
That works fine, but it doesn't have any keylock function. The closest is "toggle screen", but that doesn't disable any of the hard buttons (The hangup/pickup, camera, notes, calender, contacts buttons)
Also, it'd be hard to read the manual when I'm cycling to work
I use GSPlayer http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/
It is lot lighter, stable and has better playlist support. It has shut-off screen and buttons lock option that you can assign to a h/w button. Very handy.
Is there an MPEG4 AAC codec/plugin for GS? I've got TCPMP at the moment with the AAC codec from rareware.
Also got a free leather case from work, so it's not too much of a problem now.
Tried ScreenLock? http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621
It's freeware.
I used to have another locking app on my XDA, but lost it when I hard reset, and now I can't remember its name Its icon was a big yellow padlock though, and it let you lock the keys by clicking on the shortcut in the Start menu, and you pressed and held down a combination of keys you set up during the installation process, which would unlock the device again (I chose the top button + the action button, for simplicity's sake).
Previously i used Resco Audio. Because it has automatic screen toggle function, and also, when riding bike or driving, it easy to skip songs by pressing either the camera or recorder button.
But for now i just stick to WMP10 since the volume control is differentiated with the phone's volume control. Unlike Resco Audio, when i try to lower the sound using hard button, the phone volume also lowers at the same time... making me missed my important calls. OTOH, I use SPB pocket plus, and put the screen toggle button on the today's screen. Hope my solution could solve your problem. TQ
Use psShutxp
Do a google search for psshutxp (make sure you get the one for a QVGA screen (NOT VGA)). The site is in Russian, but there's also an English version of the website. It's a free app that simulates the "Log off" screen of Windows XP. When the "Log Off" screen pops up, there's a button (the left one) that says "Light Off". It turns off the screen (not just the backlight) and prevents any "input".
I'm listening to Erasure on WMP using this. It should work for you. It does not disable the hardware buttons (i.e. if you press the contacts button, the Contacts application will be launched (but it will not turn the screen back on)) but I don't see that as a big issue.

1. I think you mean S2U2 and you should read the S2U2 Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
What I do to quickly lock my phone is either, shut the screen off using the button on my phone (Which then locks the phone instantly as well) or Create a shortcut to S2U2 Lock to lock the phone, or I can use psshutxp to shut off the screen which also locks the phone instantly.
Sorry I can't help you with your other questions

"shut the screen off using the button on my phone (Which then locks the phone instantly as well)"
Ah perfect, didnt know about that exacly what i was looking for
is it possible to control music in touch flo
when the device screen is toggled off ????(using hardware keys)
that way i guess ill be saving up more charge
is there any alternate way to do so ??any 3rd party music player ??
thank you
CorePlayer has a option which u can choose to make the screen black (and presumably locked) and u can still use the buttons.
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
when playing a video and you press the power button,the screen goes off and locks the phone,the video doesn't continue to play.
it should lock all buttons .
help anyone.
also is you can find a replacment video player that can lock all keys (all i can find is locking the screen , menu and back key. i need to lock everything that my kid will not open the phone)
thanks
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!
