I chose down. So when I start music I push the dpad down and the screen turns off. To light the screen up just push the power button.
I think my phone goes into standbuy mode....
All the buttons and screen are locked and off except the power button.
But the music still plays!!! Perfect!

That is why this method is better than just the simple screen toggle. Much more pocket friendly...

This isn't working for me at all. I ran the .reg file and did the power/reset thing and it still shuts off the streaming audio when I push the power button. Should this work on WiFi as well as EVDO?

HTC Audio Manager always worked this way...

changing a Windows Media Player registry key shouldnt affect other apps unless they are using WMP in the background

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended]
"WAV1:"=dword:00000000
Make the changes to registry, hit the power button and leave it off for about 20 seconds to make sure the settings are saved, then reset the device, and try it out when it boots back up!

So far, this has been tested on the Apache, and the Titan/Mogul.

Click here to download the registry file that you can just copy to your device, and open it to make these changes for you in case your scared to edit the registry manually.
Could someone upload the file again or update the link cuz its not working for me.

Re: WMP Keeps playing after you hit the power button!!

My 2 cents, I have found it easiest to just assign a button in the settings of the program to turn off display and be done with it rather than waisting time trying to use the power button and ultimately fubar'ing something else. LOL
I use TCPMP most because of its ease to use, eq, and multi format playing. simplest and best in my opinion. tried htc audio manager and lost mms so wont make that mistake again. oh well done ranting nice work to all on the hacks though.
thanks Don

Not working on my Sprint Touch. The registry edit does not stick as "00000000". Only as "0".

Re: WMP Keeps playing after you hit the power button!!

After changing only this setting - my 6800 is using battery faster durring suspend mode (not playing music) - I will change back for now as battery is more important to me.

I think the default value was 4 - can anyone confirm this for me?

Still a nice find though

p.s. other sounds that wouldn't play while suspended also play while this is in effect i.e. if you have a sound for esablishing a connection, you will now hear that sound when a connection is made while the 6800 is sleeping (checking e-mail/weather)...

Registry edit didn't seem to work for me on my Touch, but I just did as previously mentioned and changed the hot key to toggle Screen to Hold Down button and it works great, saving on the battery life a bit since I mostly use this thing as a fancy mp3 player half the time Stupid iPhone needs A2DP.
