I just got stereo bluetooth headphones, and I'd like to be able to turn off the screen and lock all the buttons when playing music.
Is there anything I can do or any programs what will allow me to do this?
If you are using WMP, you can assign a button to 'toggle screen' which will switch off your screen and probably lock the buttons (not sure) unless you assign it.
hope this works

Firstly - hello all! What a great forum, I've gone from knowing nothing about Windows Mobile to having a fully customised Raphael in about 48 hours!
But: I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones which work excellently (although I haven't yet made or received a call using them). I also have a Sony a2dp Bluetooth headunit which also works excellently.
However .... As a matter of course I use the one touch power button to lock/standby, and when I press play/pause on either bluetooth device it automatically unlocks the phone.
When I'm driving this isn't such an issue as I will be ordering a Brodit Car Cradle very soon. But when I have the handset in my pocket using the S9 having it unlocked is a recipe for unwanted screen presses. I use the Touch Media Player (I know it's not the best but it seems to work OK for what I want) and the handset switches to the Music screen automatically (as well as unlocking) whenever I press play/pause. So theoretically it's pretty likely that it's only the media player that will get messed with, but you never know...
So my question is: Is there any way of stopping it from unlocking like this without introducing extra locking/unlocking complications?
hi
im using the Jabra BT3030, that uses A2DP aswel, on my touch pro and my phone stays locked when i start stop use the voice dailing, changing volume or song.
the phone turns on that is true, are u sure u are using the lock function
to realy lock ure phone u have to press and hold the end call button for 2 seconds(lower right button). if that button is not set to lock u can change that in ure phone settings under settings>long press end key there u can chose lock device
i hope this helps, let me know

Yeah, I'm using SonyEricsson HBH-DS980, and for me too the phone only turns on upon play/pause etc., but does not unlock.
Have you guys had any problems with receiving/making call using your headests? I have a problem that after a few minutes into a call my headset disconnects, although BT stays on, and I have to restart the headset to re-acquire BT-lock. And it keeps doing this every few minutes. Highly annoying - renders my headset completely useless for phone calls (luckily it still rocks for listening to music).
Mine does the same. Both with my HBH-DS970 and with my HTC BT headphones. I tried the long-press end key lock which works, but prevents me from changing tracks using the HTC headset, yet the volume control works. Weird huh?
I haven't tried the long end key press to lock the device. But thats because I use that for switching on vibrate mode.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I'm using the motorola S9 too, and my TP doesn't unlock when I press play/pause.
Note that I've installed Answerkeydisabler and Advanced Config Tool and played with locking/screen-off, and may have activate some options leading to this behaviour...

u can always set the long key to "always display the quick list" so u can chose to lock ure device or set ure vibrate ringer
also u can just use the volume keys to change ure ringer to vibrate/sound to
I am now using the quick list so it sort of solves the problem. But it still seems a little awkward compared to just pressing the power button once and not having the a2dp commands reactivating it.
Are we saying that this cant be done?
Any ideas?
When I listen to music with GS player with my HTC Touch the music stops by clicking on the button to turn off my screen.
There is an option in GS player to turn off the screen but I want to use the button on my phone.
is it possible to fix this? I found a solution however this only works for WMP.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:00000001
the problem is when you click the button you dont just turn off the screen
you suspend the whole device where only core functionality can operate
like nofications and clock and such
but ms made it possible to add wmp because
people dident uderstand that
most players have the option of blank screen which is what you were thinking that
clicking the power button did (which i explained it dident)
one often find the blank screen functionality where one map features for players to buttons
he,
as i press the on/of button while listening to the music to lock the keys it stops.
i use the standard media player.
i have heard a time that it can be set in advance config but i cant find the option.
What i do when using standard player is in the options menu, assign a hard key to turn off the screen (not into sleep) and remove certain key assingments. this means you can still change track on certain keys whilst others dont do anything. Get my drift?
i get the screen off button assigned but if i press any non d-pad button it turns on again.
so what do you mean with the others how do i get this off.
btw i also can turn the htc home music plugin on and the press device lock.
Is there a way to stop the "warning" that pops up every time mobile data is turned off? Example. It is very unnecessary and forces me to "click" an extra time to proceed (yes I am that lazy).
Additionally, is there a way to change songs with the volume keys when the screen is turned off? On my old HTC One X I could change the songs by holding down volume up or down (regular pressing would still change volume). I would like this option because I frequently play music through my phone while driving. I have tried Pocket Skip Track but it is buggy and does not always work. I have also tried using DoubleTwist but the option does not work at all. Is there an option in Touchwiz for this that I simply missed? Or is there an easy root fix?
