I have asked a few places but have not gotten any responses so I figured I would take a chance here.... I have tried a few roms of which allow me to continue playing music when I put the phone in standby mode (by pressing the power button once)... Some however do not..
I was wondering how this happens, as the music continues to play via built in speakers or via headphones... I know this can be acheived with bluetooth headset and it works that way as well however I am curious as to know what was done to achieve music playing in standby and also id like to know if other apps are running in standby or just the music player...
any information at all on the subject would be greatly appreciated as I have yet to find any info at all...
thanks
-James
EDIT ... for instance TNT 1922 pro + htc home allows me to do this somehow but other roms do not... I cant seem to track down which application might have this effect and have gotten no replys else where so i figured id ask here... EDIT

Hi All, Just a general interest post..
The W100 headphones appear to function very nicely in the official WM6.
Now when you tap the power button to turn off screen / lock keys my music keeps playing under windows media.
As for earbuds I am using a set from a SE w800i headset. Would not satisfy any audiophiles but they are ok for me and the length is perfect for the W100.
Have had some problems with Media Player Music Library
I just delete:
-Delete the folder \CF Card\MSMETADATA
-Delete the folder \CF Card\WMDRM
and it is all ok again..
I found the workaround from xda-developers - always pays to search..

Not quite as good for me...
When I turn off the screen the music keeps playing, but only till the end of the song I'm listening to. Will not play any other songs until after I turn on screen.
Not a biggie really.

Have not had this problem.. If i select a library / album it plays till all songs are done..
Just as a side note today i had an album playing with TomTom running at the same time (sceen on) and voice prompts were playing over the music with any issues.
Other the TT i have not played with any settings all is default load.
You're Right
If you select album it will play the whole album through while screen is off.
I was having a problem because I was trying to play all the music on my mini SD in shuffle mode.
Seems that the screen needs to be on in order to shuffle the music.
I'll keep testing.
Hmmm that's weird. The problem seems to have fixed itself.
Don't know what I did exactly...have hard resetted several times since flashing. Different software combinations seemed to have adverse effects.
But I've noticed things more stable since I upgraded from SPB Shell Mobile v1 to v1.5.
Could just be coincidence though. Either way I'm happy it's working like it should
I seem to have this problem. I;ve not got shuffle mode on.
Also notice if I select album to play and then pause then play again the problem occurs.
Need to do some more testing but would be interested to know what others have found.
Also I have the W100 which people are complaining about. It does what its meant to with WMP and if I can overcome this play problem then I don't see a problem it is doing its job.
Capeli - i noted in some other thread you got a W100 too. what's your view on it now you've used it a while?
Problem with keepting screen off...
Hello~
I wonder whether anyone else has similar issues but...
For me... when ever I press any button to adjust "volume", "Fw/Rw", "Pause/Play" etc...
Screen just turns itself on~.
I just hope that there is way to keep screen off whilest making any adjustments on wmp...
Hope HTC will provide updated cab file to resolve this if this is common
issue with everyone.

People are complaining because the w100 only works with wmp and most people don't use it. It's library sucks, the screen turns on, there's no "exit player", etc... How hard would it be to allow the W100 to work with other software? :\
Hi! I'm sorry if this is posted, but I've searched and found nothing on this issue.
My question is about the standard handsfree headset wich comes in the original package. My issue is that I don't use the button for calling people, but I would rather use it for... Changing songs or muting the sound. Something else... Is there a way to do this?
bump?
cause im calling people without even knowing, just listening to music..
I don’t think it is because it’s just for pick-up and to call the last called number or for voiced programmed numbers
still have the same problem...even while listening to music it starts a call.
does there anybody have a solution to disable this button?
Don't press it!
How hard is it to press? I don't know what you are doing to press it but I don't have this problem.
If you just want to listen to music then get a usb to audio out jack off ebay and plug in a nice set of headphones.
why should I buy a audio-adapter if there might is a software solution?
but we don't need to push the button as hard as the buttons on the diamond...it is much softer!
Hi,
YES there is a software solution. I was looking for it for one year, but then I found PlayPause:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498349
Basically, you use the button to pause/play (double "click") and NEXT (long press) while the normal one click answers a call is untouched.
I am using it with COreplayer and it is excellent. Have to try several versions of PlayPause though.
Another solution is Microsoft VoiceCommand but more complicated.
Hope that helps!
cheers

This is what i did as a solution:
I grabbed the thing you have to push and kinda pulled it out. Then its broken, but you can still listen music without calling people.
I have spent the last couple of days searching the net trying to find an answer and have come up empty handed. For starters I'm running the Verizon Touch Pro 2. The issue I can't seem to figure out is why does an MP3 file play nice and loud when playing through Windows Media on the phone (maintains constant volume) but when I set it as the ringtone the volume starts off normal but then decreases quite a bit? I have tried this with several MP3s and they all seem to do the same thing.
Going nuts with this.......
Thanks much for any help, input or direction.
Edit: and for the record, yes, I did try both registry tweaking and using the updated AudioPara3.csv with no difference.

There is a setting called "Be Polite" or something along those lines, it reduces the volume as soon as the accelerometer senses that you have picked up (physically) the phone - I bet that is causing your problem. There is a CAB to disable it in the MightyROM thread on PPCGeeks Here - I am not sure if this will work on the stock Rom or not, but it is worth a try. You may also be able to disable it in settings somewhere, but I am not sure where.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
Thanks much...I greatly appreciate the reply. I'll give it some research. Only issue I can think of is when I'm playing these MP3 files, both in WM and as a ringtone preview, the phone is lying flat on a surface and not being moved at all.
Guess we'll see.....
I have a few problems that occur on every rom I flash.
1. When ever I make a call or call someone, it uses the speaker phone by default.
2. The Car Home app opens randomly and can be annoying.
3. I cant change the media volume when headphones are plugged in.
- The volume is at it's loudest and there is no way for me to change it.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I would search and check other threads before opening new ones. There is an ongoing conversation about the speakerphone issue and I believe it has to do with GoSMS. Not going into detail here as like I said there is another thread already developed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242116
If your volume is at max then it is at max. Or do you mean since it is at max, you can't lower it? Might also be an issue related to GoSMS. Never heard anyone mention about this before.

Sorry, I searched in the Q&A forum, but I didn't think to search in the General forum. I never used GoSMS so that can't be the problem.
If I plug in head phones and try to listen to music, the volume is always at it's loudest and I cant lower it (tried using volume bottons and in the settings).
I think all these issues have something to do with the Car Home app. Also thanks for your reply.
Edit: I removed the Car Home app from the zip and re-flashed. The media volume problem is fixed now but even though I removed the application, it still says in the notification bar that it's running. And speaker is the default option when I try calling someone.
I have seen people with issues with the car home app. But I can't recall if it was in the inspire section or the desire HD section. Goodluck.
Ok, thanks for trying at least.
Ok so after a few days with the service..... and a few buddies with it this are our concerns. If any of these have answers i would love to know about them.
First one is no independent sound volume. So for example a turn by turn GPS navigation you cant hear.
Second music that you have on your device fails to make a radio station for. Its fine if it cant but dont give me the option.
Third I cant tell if music is in my library or not. Spotify for example always has the yellow star to let you know.
Fourth if you sort by title and then add something to your my library it flips back to defualt sorting.
A few other minor things but those are the major ones.
If anyone has any ideas please let me and my buddies know
