in standby I mean.
i know there's a blank screen function in coreplayer but it's drianing all o my battery and it's difficult to select every time.
Well, if its in standby.. that means the CPU activity will be minimised or completely inactive. When the screen is off, thats a completely different story because the CPU can play the music. So, if your battery is draining too fast you should consider buying an extended battery or using a less power hungry media player.

So how can I turn the screen off
I dont mean the blank screen function
Is there another way?
Use the xda-devs search and try to find a lockscreen or toggle screen app and you'll need to use the key mapper to bind a key function to run that app.. im not sure how well it may work since coreplayers inbuilt screen off function doesnt seem to effective. you may want to try a different media player like pocket player, nitrogen or S2P

Thank you
But I didn't have this problem with my previous rom.
Try a different ROM then, some are very power hungry

Would you mind if you suggest one?
But I have another question
When you press the power button coreplayer stop working but manilla of some other apps don't
So is there anyway to make cpu threat with coreplayer just like the others?or even the playe of manilla?
I dont have this problem and i think its due to installing SRS WOW HD version 1.5.1.0.
It gives more options for sound quality and imo sounds a lot better than the stock that comes with the TD2. Plus by the looks of it, it seems to put it into that so called "whitelist" as i had the problem with stock 6.5 rom and then one day the problem just fixed itself. It seemed to match the time when i installed on SRS WOW HD but i didnt wana uninstall and reinstall to check.. Can anyone confirm this?
If this is the case i have a version for it that works perfectly on my TD2 and can send it to u to try
Something ridicules happened to me
When I started coreplayer and pressed the power button it stopeed playing but after 5 seconds a msg arrived and played a tick sound(msg notification) then coreplayer started to play!!!!!
Can anyone plz explain this?
Thats because when the sms came it must've come out of the standby mode even if the screen stayed off and hence the music started playing

Hey guys
don't immediatley jump down my throat for not using search, i have and the best screen killer i have read is BlackMe but it doesn't seem to do what I want:
I need to use satnav whilst on my motorbike, for this reason i need to turn the screen off and just listen to it.
I tried CoPilot 7 with BlackMe but this disconnects the external GPS still
I tried TomTom7 with BlackMe and this also still disconnects the external GPS.
*(I need to use external gps for reasons I wont bore you with)
Anyone know of an app that WILL leave BT GPS connected, both Satnav and a screen "blanker"?
Many thanks!
Hi, I don't know this for sure, but you can try psshutxp (if you don't have it already), this program can reset your phone but also shut the display down. Furthermore, it will creat a shortcut in start>programs called displayswitch. This will turn the screen off, but your programs will be running in the background (atleast with music players it works) and this you can assign to a hardware key..
Grtz
thanks mate, i'll get that and give it a try.
Fingers crossed, it wont kill my BT GPS unit connectivity.

good on you mate. was about to suggest this software (psshutxp). i've put a shortcut on my start menu to allow usage at any program. i'm using an ameo and it works great. and i confirm that it works with both gps and windows media / tcmp. i'm using tomtom 7 and when i ride my mountain bike my unit is in the net pocket of my backpack. obviously i can't see the screen but sounds are through my a2dp headset. so to save battery, i shut off the screen and simply listen to the directions.
cheers
exellent, thanks! Thats exactly what i need to do mate .... just a little bit faster
I open up WMP, go to the Library, Menu->Open File, and I select a music file from a directory full of music files. Normally if I leave it when it finishes playing the song it will move on to play another song in the same directory with shuffle.
However if I turn off the screen when it's in the middle of a song, it will continue playing the song but when it finishes it will not move on to another. It will only continue when I turn on the screen again.
Is this some weird default behavior, should it be happening? Can I override this?
There is a place where you can change hot key settings, there is a key setting for the screen. Hope that solves your problem.
Thanks! That worked.
One more thing though, I am using a 6.5ROM and Titanium has a lovely WMP plugin. I find it quite convenient to control the playing song from there - so is there a way to turn off the screen the same way when viewing the Today screen so that when I turn it on again I see Titanium?

The best I can come up with is use a hardware button to launch a "Screen Off" app. You should just be able to Bing or Google "Screen Off .cab" and find something free. Have you tried Locking then waiting for the screen to Time-Out? maybe the screen will just dim, my guess.

Thats what I do with Sat Nav, works a treat. No point having the screen on when its in my pocket (im on a motorbike using handsfree to listen to instructions).
Nifty, I guess locking then waiting for the screen to time out is good enough for me. No sense in getting some extra program and binding it to another key.
Thanks
Hi guys, I tried some experiments with skype and Mort Skript.
So I created this modded version:
rapidshare.com/files/366681199/SkypeMobile_Modded_by_SammyBlaze_v1.1.CAB
udate: mortskript short cut added for first start to start menu
Skype switches now automatically between earphone and speakerphone by simply using Mortscript and Troca2:
Everytime skype is in focus troca2 will be executed so the sound is directed to earphone.
Install on Device.
After installation please reboot and run "RunMeFirstThenDeleteMe" first from Start Menu.
Now you can delete "RunMeFirstThenDeleteMe" (file explorer - my device - windows - startmenu -programs)
I recommend to uninstall your old skype first.
please report your bugs and advice here.
I am trying to integrate Hd2ProximityScreenOff so the screen turns off when you do a call.
awesome! testing this tonight!
Tried it, but unfortunately it does not even run on my Stock ROM Telstra HD2 in Oz.
Sounds nice, but you could say it needs to be installed in internal memory, that this installs and uses Mortscript, and that it's needed to run Mortscript.exe in \Program files\Mortscript to associate the extensions before the shortcut will run. Took me 15 minutes of tracking down what the shortcut was pointing to, opening the file in question to find leads as to how to etc to finally randomly run the Mortscript exe to make it run. Most people don't know/use Mortscript.
Anyway, it seems to work. But there again some explanations from your part would have been nice... at first it wasn't working, and I had to read the script to understand what it did to do correctly. So, it seems it opens an exe that switches output to front speaker whenever the Skype window is in focus. But as I turn screen off when talking (otherwise with screen on I keep pressing on hangup or other stuff when I put the phone at the ear as proximity sensor is not active), and this brings up S2U2, the Skype window wouldn't be in focus anymore, so audio switches back to rear speaker. Also, tapping anywhere in the Skype window during a call makes the little 6-icon popup appear, which the script interprets as Skype losing focus, and audio also switches. Same when adjusting volume, the volume window switches audio. Would be nice to have a simple way to find out a few window names and add them to the script.
Deactivating "lock when screen is blank" in S2U2 seems to make it useable, as long as you have a hardware key assigned to "Turn screen off" and use it.
Also for some reason, everytime I press the power key when Skype is in focus, the device comes back on.

Read my post above. Run \Program files\Mortscript\Mortscript.exe once first.
Made an update
look at first post.
I will try to implement Hd2ProximityScreenOff-0.2 but:
This would trigger the device lock
...this would cause lag in skype
Ok I could deaktivate device lock and then use hd2ProximityScreenOff
It works, thanks ^^
thanks summybussy ..i managed to install. it works fine. but screen is on when i make call....?
So now I understand why it did not work. I will continue to use Audio Route and/or my headphones. But thanks for the efforts. Not something I would even think of doing...
Skype soundswitch and turn display off

Unfortunately the screen remains on during calls.
I use ProximityScreenOff for that in combination with DisableAutoDeviceLock
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624206
With AeButtonPlus I mapped windows button (double tab) for device lock.
Hi sammybusse! I found skype drilling my battery very fast. MortScript.exe takes mem 428k and CPU 35%. I left my phone with fully charged battery and runing skype approx. for 6 hours. and went to bed when i awoke phone was off.Any idea haw to fix it. thanks

I have the same problem. Big issue.
It is because mort script run all the time and checks wether skype is active.
With the attached skypecode.mscr it will check only every 5 seconds wether skype is on focus.
replace it with the file in windows folder.
Skype uses a lot of battery on its own, even without Mortscript. Really not optimized at all, firstly it will prevent the device for entering standby as long as it's running, and secondly it uses a lot of CPU even when it has nothing to do.
i got it to work perfect on the 1st try...my only concern is, when someone calls, it rings iin the earpiece as well...can this be fixed?
Here is an application to make specific programs(like ebook reader,SatNav etc) prevent standby when they are running. It will watch them even when they are in background, so be careful, if you just forget them running in the background, your phone will not go into standby. (v1.1 change: now you can disable background watch by checking "monitor active window only")
Installation:
1- Just install the latest cab file onto Device Memory and NOT Storage Memory.
2- You need .NETCF 3.5, if you don't have it, install it.
Usage:
1- If you will use background watching, find the executable name from Task Manager/Processes, drop .exe part, type it into textbox and click add. (AdobeReaderLE.exe -> AdobeReaderLE)
1a- If you want to watch only the active window (so that your battery doesn't drain if you minimize the whitelist app) Find the window title of the application (Either task manager/applications or just look at the title if it is not hidden) and insert it as above. (Adobe Reader LE this time) you can have both versions live together. There is one limitation to active application watching though, if the application doesn't report a window title in task manager, you can only background watch it. (e.g. htcreader)
2- if you want to remove a certain app, select its name and click remove button.
3- if you want to have KeepAwake open but still not active (to force into standby) click stop.
4- this app autostarts with each boot, if you don't like it, delete the shortcut under \Windows\Startup\KeepAwake.lnk
5- this app starts minimized. if you want to configure settings, select the icon one more time or switch to it using a task manager.
6- if you click quit, obviously the software quits and no more monitoring is done, so click X after configuring if you want it to monitor your apps.
7- if you want to turn off screen and lock keys (for listening to music maybe) you can click the lock button. If your app is running, the phone will still stay awake.
Tips:
1- You can map KeepAwake to a hardware button for easy access and screen locking.

Thanks goes to Frank T. van de Ven for ProcessCE library.
Thanks a lot to DaveShaw for letting me use xdaShutdown application.
I'm pretty excited about this... I've been looking for something exactly like this to prevent specific standby times.
I hope it works with most of the applications I have in mind.
Any bugs? Would you guys find it useful to have a lock button so that it turns off the screen and locks keys but still keeps the device awake? I have implemented this for the latest version I'm using (to have my GPS logger going but preventing accidental touch on screen and keys.) Or is it better to keep it simple?
Will this also prevent Windows MSN not to idle which will cause lost connection too?
Sorry, I'm new to the WinMo scene, just saw this on Pocketnews. Let me get this straight, will this work for apps that run in the bg that don't close out IE:
Facebook
Google Maps
Email
Albums
etc.?
because they slow down my phone, I want to close them out completely, not run them in the background so they can take up valuable resources.

I haven't specifically tried MSN app, but I see no reason it shouldn't work.

I think you need a task manager so that you can close apps. This one is for making certain apps prevent the phone go standby.

I haven't given this a try yet, but any more additions are welcomed! This is something I've been looking for. I think it might be nice to give a way to put settings per application for standby perhaps (like some applications don't let the device go to stand by for 3 minutes, others are like 30 miuntes, etc). I think having't the screen off is a good addition, but keeping the device working is good, so things like voice recorder can work without having the screen on.
Seems to work well for IM services.
I haven't tested it completely for Opera and internet-browsing programs.
Nevertheless, this is a great idea.
new version is up..
What about on option... KEEP IT ON ? (Like LOCK)
This option would simply keep the phone ON, if the application is running in background even if we haven't listed anything
Is it possible? Maybe it's already included?
Thank you
Great app !
It doesn't work on my HD2. Youtube is running and my device locks and stops YT...
Any ideas??

I thought about that but later decided that not many people would find it useful. if enough request comes, I will add it. In the meantime, you might just add an always running app like device or cprog into list manually when you want to keep it on always. or just minimize an app in the whitelist

that's odd. I just tried and Youtube keeps itself open while playing a video for me even without this app. (Locks on the search screen) But still, KeepAwake seems to detect it when it is running. After installing have you clicked on the icon to run KeepAwake? Then minimized it by clicking on X? Have you tried another app, like Adobe Reader for instance? Is youtube minimized or active?
Hi,
Will this application disable lock option on device while using some application - eg. iGO Navigation?
Thanks

as long as you don't lock it yourself, yes, it won't be locked.
Very nice app...much thanks!
The app works for eReader on my Omni II running 6.3 One word of caution I have the x= app closed option turned on so the x shuts down keepAwake. It took me some time to figure out I was closing the app not minimizing it.
How would I go about disabling the standby while in a call? What's the name of the application I need to put in there? I'd like to use it so the sleep during call doesn't stop the call recording utility from working, but I still would like the screen turning off when keeping the phone at the ear.
Doesn't work on touch pro2
The software breaks error when we try to add software to the list, only with the program in background it goes to sleep anyways. It's a good idea, but not there yet...
Hi I have the following problem. When I listen to music and when the screen turned off and locked when the music starts to break. When set to be permanently on display do not have these problems, but the battery runs out quickly. Is there a solution to this problem? btw WinMo 6.5 stock ROM 1.66.479 , manila 2.5.1921 and RADIO 2.07.51.22

search for the "keep music playing.cab" fix for it. soft reset after install. i used it on my tp2 and you would be able to hit the sleep button and still listen to music. on the hd2, you just have to let the screen sleep itself.

i know what your talking about now. it has happened to me many times before. i had to reinstall about 3x for it to work right.
Have you tried manually locking the screen first ie start ,
lock coreplayer should continue to play
Hi. Find a little app called "Screen off", install it and then - move the icon on a top. When You want to switch off screen (during listening to the music) - tap left top corner of the screen and next - tap the "Screen off" icon. That's all.

TNX il try all that
you can also try third party lockscreens that allow applications to run while screen is off, like s2u2 and pocketshield.
I was try s2u2 but I don't like it I solved problem by instaling tcpmp
That's true, I cancelled my S2U2 after 1 month of using. I've had too many problems with this application. The best one for me is CHT lockscreen. Simply the best! If You have CHT on a board - means You have CHT lockscreen as well. So why dont to use it? Save ROM memory and enjoy nice design.
Do you think that CHT lockscreen will help me to solve problem wwith core player see post #1
