hello there
i was wondering, does any one know how to map the hardware buttons while playing pocket windows media player?
the reason i ask is beacuse when i am playing MP3's i wanna be able to lock the keypad so that if i accidently knock the screen it wont open an application or do anything stupid.
I do alot of jogging, andwant to listen to my XDA. I cant currently do this beacuse i cant put the xda in my pocket, let it play mp3's with out risk that i will knock the screen...
any ideas???
thanks guys

Hello,
While there are many MP3 players, most are lacking the basic features. Is there an MP3 Player that will auto shut off the screen after 1 or two minutes and continue to play? I do have the utility that turns off the screen and its fine, but it just so annoying. Anyone ?
Thanks

Yes there is, the best player for the device is Pocket Player. I say that because I'm bias'.
www.conduits.com and give it a try. The settings are a little to difficult to figure out at first, but once you play around and figure them out you can't beat it.
The latest GSPlayer is free and works well.
Hint: On any MP3 player this should work - Lock your PDA with the lock in settings or put it on your desktop, then hit the on/off button while listening to music via bluetooth. This will keep it playing with the screen off but you have to be disconnected from the USB cable.

In the menu settings inside GSPlayer there is an option to turn the display off.

Pocket Music from PocketMind is a good player. I use it for all my sound/music-playback. The full version has an option to automatically turn off the screen after a specified time (whilst continuing to play).
I can't say for shure about the free version as I haven't tried it.

Mortplayer does this as well, in case you need another option.
(I'm not really sure where I should put this thread so just give me hint)
I am very new to the xda site, ive taken use of many of the different applications the forum has in store, especially the app called Nitrogen MP3 player.
I use that because the standard music player on my HTC HD2 is bugged ever since I installed the GTX Theme, the problem is that the phone crashed or the music stops playing middle of a song.
Anyway... back to the main thing.
The issue I want help with is that the Nitrogen player stops music every time I lock my phone.
I was wondering if there was any way to change anything in the program so the music will keep playing even when the phone is in lock " the screen is turned off locked"

I had the same issue. That's why I stopped using Nitrogen. My HTC Music player works well. But I have had to do 2 hard resets because of a program called DoubleTwist, which screwed my HD2 up and made the HTC Music player not function properly.
I also had the same problem a few months back.., Just did a hard reset and things were back to normal
Hello,
I am using my HD2 as my primary music device in the car. When using shuffle on a playlist; the music player go the next track but the music player will not move forward to display the next song. If I go to the home screen, and back to the music player it will catch up and be fine for a song or two but then go back to the same issue.
Another example would be in the main screen of the music player, the wrong song and album art will be displayed. If I go into Library/Now Playing, the correct album/track will be displayed. If I press Back, it will show the last song played.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have searched the threads but not finding anything to help remedy this frustrating problem. It seems to work for a bit, then I will have to get out of the music player and back into temporarily remedy the problem, just to have it do the same thing again.
Thanks!
Has anyone run into this issue?

Sort of...
I've noticed when using the built in sense player if I turn shuffle on while playing songs it will sometimes display the wrong album art until I go into library or exit and go back in.
My thought are that it has something to do with CHT.
Do you use CHT?
I am not sure what CHT is.
CHT = Cookie Home Tab
Never had this issue you stated.. hmm
Hello,
I have the same problem and at least one more...
Now, when I start playing a music it stops after 10 seconds ...
I'm not an expert but, like Faelok, I'm convinced that this is something coming from CHT... Never had this problem with the original configuration...
Now I'm ignoring the original Music Player and I'm using either S2P or Pocket Music.
The new S2P is freeware and it is more then Ok to use in the car.
Cheers

I am using the stock config and yet having this issue. My music plays flawlessly,it is just the visualization that its effected. I hate to keep taking my eyes off the road to hold this things hand and force it too update. All off my tags are correct, album art is all there for every album. I hope someone had a fix for this as its very annoying.
Thanks!
Thanks for your replies. I wonder if this is just the nature of the sense music player and no way to correct it. You would think that if it will refresh and catch up to the correct album art and track name if you get out of the player and come back in there would be a way remedy the behavior. I'm interested to see how many others are experiencing the same problem.

Are you controlling S2P over bluetooth or just your finger?
It looks like album view has been disabled in the recent version .80. My whole reason for this post it to try to get the album art to display properly. It looks like the dev for S2P is working hard on it and wish him the best
I'd still lilke to find a fix for the issue I posted but I am not coming up with anything.
I recently bought a Sony Xperia U
It works perfect i love it however when it comes to music its a disaster i tried everything factor release, remove sim , battery , update software.. For some reason when i play my music on music player or any other media player for example MX player or Double twist after 3 minutes exactly of sound music it turns off like it crashes for few minutes it goes black and then it turns on and when it does i cant enter those media applications because they crash immediately..
I tried many experiments like trying with different songs.. different kbs.. but nothing seems to work.. however I tried to see if the issue is the music and its not... i played videos on youtube.... and even my own videos i even turned the radio on and it lasts how much you want it never switched off... This issue wasn't occuring on day 1 after day 1 it happened..
What can i do please help because i just bought it and i would love to find the issue before sending it again to the seller since i bought it from internet.. How can i hear my music on my player? Also whats the best way to transfer music from pc to mobille.. do i just put the music on the xperia u? because their isn't any music folder..
Sometime it crashes when i enter play store also or try to change my live wallpaper..
Thanks alot please reply
you could make a new folder called music and then drag-and-drop it with windows explorer. That is what I did with my xperia s.
I think there is something really wrong with your phone, it shouldn't act like that when playing music. Do you have the same result with other tasks? like playing video's?
I think that you should discuss it with the reseller.

Please help if anyone had anything similar or knows anything..
I am having a moto e, rooted and installed cyanogenmod 13 on it. I want to use this phone as a music player only. Want to have something like , when i turn on the phone, only the music player is opened, no homescreen, nothing else etc. just start the phone , you start a music player, lock the screen. Unlock it, and you will just see the music player only, no navigation. Can you develop something like that. Put music to it using usb connection to pc, and listen to it on the phone, like a music player.
Thanks in advance, anything linking to such thing is appreciated.
Regards
Arun
