Is there a way to lock the screen (disable touch) while viewing saw a movie on the tab? This way if i move the tab the movie continues to play in full screen mode and nothing responds to my touches on the tab. I figure some form of power button enable/disable option would work.
thanks in advance.
I've never seen this option put in any power button settings before, but its something to look into.
Mobo player have an option to lock the screen(using menu button) while watching videos.

Thanks...unfortunately this is mainly because I stream allot. So it must be able to control the hardware itself not just the app.

Im Looking for A decent video Player, ive searched the market, with no joy, even tryed rockplayer, to play standard mp4 music videos, but the lag is amense,
dont mind paying for the app,
any ideas ?
also, on a side note is there any 3rd party music player that plays with the widgit, even if the lock screen comes on ? the stock music player plays when lock screen is on, but other apps shut it off when the lock screen comes on,
and finally, is there a screenshot app ?
i tryed "shootme" but it doesnt work correctly. and doesnt save the screenshots in sdcard/shootme folder
thanks in advance.

1.TRY ACT1 VIDEO PLAYER....it's free, it's light weight and it's good for light videos...well synchronized audio-video too
2.get Uber Music..it has lockscreen replacement with a widget, volume rocker control for previous/next song when the screen is off...there is headset control too and the UI is awesome (get "metro skin" and"clear widgets" skin also)
3. finally, as mentioned b4 by kormatoes, use drocap2 in froyo builds and u have an integrated screenshot app in MiniCM 7
hope i helped
if i helped you, kindly press the "THNAKS" button
I prefer MoboPlayer for videos.

Was using this in the stock 2.1 ROM. Now I have installed MiniCM7 Pro - v6 Final (GingerBread 2.3.5) ROM and use the screenshot app that comes with it (long press power key - menu)
Hi,
i have 2 year old kid he loves to watch cartoons or videos.
Is there any which blocks the touch and home button. On the iphone there was a application like Incarcer where you had to press volume and down to enable home and touch again.
Is there anything similar for an android phone. Got a galaxy s1 9100 and galaxy s 9000
Thanks.
If you want to stop your Kid from accidently making changes to your phone...This helped me a lot...

thanks but this is no use to me. I want him not to turn of the videos iam playing for them. At least he sits quite for a while when he watches some cartoons/videos. As you know they like to press the home button which closes the application like you tube or gallery. Also the touch screen which pauses the video. Need something which can prevent it
iphone had the tool called incarcer from cydia.

live lock app looks like it might work but says its not for my device... any way to make it support mine? :/

You know how some electronics have a physical lock switch to turn off all buttons and screen input. Is there such an Android app that would give me the option of assigning a button.. maybe a long hold on volume down or up that would lock all input out? Just would be nice when I'm jogging with music or watching a video . there's gotta be something but I'm not finding anything...
Ok. So you want an app who locks the screen while you watch a video, for example. There's no app for this function. But, if u want to lock the screen while you watch a video, try MX Player. The app Blocks the screen while u watching!

Yeah that option in mx player is great. Just wish it was a option in android..... Imagine holding the power button down..and when it brings up the options to shut down..restart.... Silent mode... There was also another selection to lock device.... Sounds like a great option..... Yeah?

Just curious.. What possible effect would that app have..
Not that its a bad idea.. I've already started searching the market for an app like that...
Tasker would be good app... Yes??
But in your case what are the probability that the screen will come on..
If its in ur pocket.. You'll first have to do really well to Press the Power button and even then it will only go to the lockscreen.. And some even if it unlocks only then some problem will occur..
Sad thing is it happens to me sometimes..
Keep this thread alive.. There's gotta be some solution
Cheers
For me it would most be when I'm running.. I like to look at my pace occasionally.. if screen times out I gotta hit power/unlock then be careful I don't touch the screen and pause my run or do something.. Also music and vids(netflix).. or if I hand my phone to someone to watch a video or picture I took or to look at something.. when handing it over they always tend to touch the screen and pause or scrub the video.. especially grandma!

Is there a way to enable lock screen audio controls with the SIII? None of my audio apps are showing them and I can't find a setting to turn it on/off.

I have been looking for this as well. It would be nice if there was a way to do it with google music.
they aren't there by default? I hadn't done anything special with my phone and they showed up. Try installing apollo music player? That's what I use now and it shows up on the lockscreen. The default player showed up before that though.
I think it depends on the lock screen you're using - try different one (or compare notes). Or you can use widgetlocker, which works great.
If you use the. Default slide lock screen ..then when you have music playing you can slide down from the top and both Google music and stock player have controls there.

Has anyone tried the different floating players?
I was using Super Player because it was free, but recently purchased Floating Player Beta. They both have the same issue, when playing a video in the window (or paused) then lock the screen then unlock the tablet reboots. I'm using .28 stock rom with SIO installed.
Anyone else?
EDIT:
Sorry, it's called Floating Player Beta. Not Pop-up Player Beta.
I'm using Virtuous Prime rom. I can confirm I've replicated your issue with Super Video.
One solution i've found is to go to Super Video settings > Player Settings > Enable Keep Play (Do not pause video playback when screen is turned off).
This will prevent your Prime from screen locking, so pressing the power/lock button merely turns off the screen (pressing the power/lock button again turns the screen back on without having to enter an unlock pattern). Of course a side effect is the video's playback (including audio) continues playing even while the screen is off.
Well at least I'm not going crazy. I'm guess it does as well with Stick It. I've sent logcat to Floating Player Beta, as they responded to my comments. Hopefully we'll find a solution. I have no idea what's causing it. SW Codec does not have the issue.

i don't know about you
but for me the tablet will restart like that if you do the same thing with reg video players....
so i don't think its the floating player thing as it maybe the prime's problem
