Ok... here's the deal. I've used the AM from HTC as my main audio player as it just plain rules. I used it for a while previous to my last hard reset, to when all of a sudden when I turned off the screen (using the power button), it would stop the music. I couldn't figure out why in the world it decided to stop the music... weird. WELL... I ended up having to do a HR for various other reasons. I reinstalled the AM, and it worked flawlessly... when I turned off the screen, it continued playing.
However... now it's back to its old tricks. It shuts off the music when I turn the screen off!
Why the inconsistency? Anyone else had this issue? I assume it's probably conflicting with something else I have installed... what could it be though?
