Music in sleep mode

JHAZA · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-2009, 09:16 AM

On my touch pro i was able to press the power button to engage sleep mode, while in sleep mode my music would still play. i use tcpmp to play my music. is there a reason why this can't be done on the touch pro 2. when i put it in sleep mode it is really in sleep mode cause my music stops. as usual any insight would be greatly appreciated. thx in advance.

Use Windows Media Player instead of the built-in Manilla version. Works fine for me.

Install "ScreenOff." Allows you to turn the screen off while programs are still running. Just press power to turn it back on, or you can map a key to run "ScreenOn." More on this here.

this has NOT worked for me. once the tp2 sleeps the streaming media playing in windows media player stops too.

I use Windows Media Player... ( I know you don't but... ) What I do, is let the phone go into sleep mode on it's own and then I can listen to my music with the screen off. Then I can turn it on and off at will. Just lookin' out.
Hope it helps bro.

I've tried everything I can't get Windows Media Player to stream after the screen gets turned off.

Have you done any battery or power tweaks? Some of the tweaks make the storage card unavailable when the phones off to save battery.

Once I start playing a song in Windows Media player, it continues to play no matter how many times I turn the phone on and off. I'm assuming everyone is using the storage card for music.

Known issue. I submitted it to HTC and was told "they're looking into it." I recommend you post a comment to the HTC site (Contact Us) and see if they give you a different response.

(I stream audio from radio stations and it is annoying when the sound vanishes in sleep mode.)

The only way I can get streaming to continue is if I have something plugged in to the 3.5mm jack and then turn the screen off with the power button.
