Hello,
just got my P3300, Norwegian edition. It works fine But i do have som questions, probably since this is my first Windows Mobile device. When i push the Off-button, to turn off the screen and save battery, i still want to listen to my music, how can i force Media Player to play in sleep mode? The FM-radio works this way.
In the middle of my screen i've got this ugly spot, looks like there's a hole in one of the layers in the screen. Anyone with the same problem?

Need some help here guys... Whenever I played a game on my IIs and an sms or a call occured, which in turn throw me back to the today screen... The taskbar portion of the upper screen went dead, it only shows a blank screen. So after reading the SMS or accepting the call, I can't do anything as the Start button is unaccessible. Not until I have to reset the device then all comes back to normal. Does anybody ever encounter this kind of problem before?
So now whenever I play full screen games, I have to be warry for incoming calls and sms... Which nowadays seems more frequent... Thus gaming is a bit hard to do.
I have these programs installed:
Spb Pocket Plus
XCPUScalar
Intellipad
Intellidialer

Hi
Wellcome to the club :lol:
I've got the same with some games which use the full screen. Slurp is one of them.
Sorry, no solution yet.

Dang... It's actually more worse than I thought... Whenever the device goes to sleep mode while playing a game and wakes up, it closes the game app and return to the today screen, and the taskbar goes *puff*
Oh well... The price I pay for using microsoft product :lol: no regrets 8)
Just got hold my new Orbit and I must say I'm very impressed. I've had just about every xda released over the years and I would never have dreamed of having so many features packed into such a small package a few years ago.
Anyway, I have a couple of questions which I'm hoping someone can help me with.
Something that has always bugged me about transfering files onto the device is that using USB via activesync seems about 10 times slower than using a memory card reader. Now that the memory card is not easily accessed is there a faster way to transfer files from pc to memory card? Is there a setting somewhere in Activesync to speed things up or some other faster way (bluetooth, wifi etc?)
Secondly, is there an easy way to key/screen lock this phone and/or turn the screen off while playing mp3's?
Assuming I'm playing a few mp3's in MediaPlayer or TCPMP, I want to be able to put it in my pocket right? So far the only method I've found is to close the player and hit the "lock device" on the today screen. Two problems with this though... Every time the mouse is touched (constant movment in my pocket) the backlight comes on. To then pause the music, adjust the volume or change track I have to first unlock it, reopen the player and hit the button, then go through the whole rigmarole again.
Why can't it just keep playing after switch off like the radio
bump.
Anyone?
USB transfers are always slow.
Try deltalock (freeware) for the screen problem - assign it to a key.
Mortsaver is also pretty good for the screen issue.
This may solve the screen off while playing MP3s as it has a screen off button built in
Today Player is a cool mp3 player on today screen, only takes up one line, also shows battery & memory bars when not playing music, and equaliser bars when it is, free download at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=811
I'm really annoyed by the screen.
What i mean is that when i'm using Beta Player, or whatever program that plays music (incl. Media Player) the screen stays active, and keeping in my pocket the phone means that after getting it out i see that i had sent several sms, opend tons of apps, and activated at least the GPS, very often GPRS also activates.
So please can you tell me what program to use (because in o2 German version of the firmware there is no possibility to lock the screen and hard buttons) to lock the device ?
As u might guess, when i use the on/off button it stops my music ...
So i nead a program to lock the device, cuz otherwise it costs me pretty annoying bill raises ...
I don't know of any Utility that does this, but is there no Music/Media Player that keeps playing even when you turn off the device? I think my MDA Compact II did so with Windows Media Player, if i'm not wrong, although you're right about the XDA Orbit, it stops playback. But since the FM Radio keeps playing when the device is switched of, maybe you will have more success with searching for a Mediaplayer that just does not stop playback...
Um, can't you use the Device Lock today plugin?
Or VJDeviceLock, or Matt's Yet Another Device Lock?

Awsome dudes
Matt's Yet Another Device Lock
Does just what i wanted ... the other program probably is OK too, but doesn't work on my device.
BIIIIG Thanx people, really big one.
Dear all
I am new to this forum and new to using HTC, so therefore would like to share my experience and to see whether anyone else shares the same experience:
In terms of battery life, I can get through virtually the whole day on one charge, this includes streaming videos for around 2 hours, playing games like GTA3, Shadowgun, Riptide, for an hour~ Listen to FM radio for 30 minutes and just general texting now and again.
HOWEVER I have had the phone since April 5th and since 2 or 3 days ago I have been experiencing a bug that prevents me from unlocking my phone. Once the screen is blacked out in standby mode and I click the power button to turn on the screen and try to pull the ring up to unlock, I am unable to do so. The ring stays locked at the bottom with a few minor bounces and at the top of the screen a text reads pull the ring up to unlock. The only way for me to unlock the screen is to activate the settings menu from the locked screen and then click the home button. Additionally once I am back from the unlock screen the lower portion of my screen where I had difficulty unlocking the phone operates as normal. I have tried searching this forum but maybe I am a uber noob but can't find any mention of this or any fixes. Does anyone have this issue? Do I need to return my phone? The phone is with Three UK and I purchased the handset through Affordable Mobiles.
Additionally is it me or does the phone not enable multitasking? I have loaded a youtube video for example half way through but if I use the recent app button or home button to access another program say "Fruit Ninja" and then reload into the Internet app, the handset is forced to reload the webpage thus losing all my previous loaded stream. This is the same when I play GTA3 if I hit the home button by mistake and then quickly try to re-enter the game it loads the game from the start rather than resuming the gameplay.
I have recently also seen "noise" and other artifacts and screen anomalies. Additionally the screen flex is becoming more and more noticeable.
Hope someone can help! But atm I am thinking how the hell can they have released this product after alpha and beta testing should have uncovered these issues right?
Best wishes

For the unlocking, do you use a silicone cover for your phone? I heard this stops the screen from working due to static no ground (which would usually be your hand) as the silicone cover isn't a conductor the screen has no ground!!!
I don't have a silicon cover but I do have a screen protecter. Does no one else have a issue with the unlocking ofthe phone
Hi Guys, I have a G3 (D85510L) 4.4.2 unrooted and running Next launcher. The problem I have is when I play music with
the screen off, when I unlock the phone the music STOPS coming out of the speakers or headphones, bluetooth or
wired but the player is still running, so I then have to unlock the screen and then press the volume up or down just
once to get the sound back again if you go into the sound setting on the phone the media bar is at whatever it was at
before I unlocked it. Even if I stop the player and then start it again still NO sound :crying: .
Things I have tried,
Reset the phone 3 times but each time I do it works fine for about 3 days and then
the problem starts again :crying:.
Gone through all my apps but can't see anything that would cause it, apart from Google now and Commandr for Google
now, I have been in the settings and uninstalled them and tried again but just the same.
Also the Voice Mate app I tried the settings (I can't disable it) but again it was no good :crying:.
Tried some audio manager apps, no good :crying:.
I have used the stock player and PowerAmp Player but again no good :crying:.
Changed the lock screen from swipe, Knock, password and pin but still no good, BUT it will work fine if there
is NO lock screen set :crying:.
I have no idea so any help will be very welcomed :fingers-crossed:.

I'm having trouble understanding your problem. Does the music pause when you open your phone or does it just mute? And calm down with the emojis bro lol
Hi many thanks for your reply, well to be honest with you I don't know if its muting as I would not know how to do that. What happens is the music just stops coming out no sound but the player keeps going and even if I stop the player and start it again still no sound and the only way to get the sound back is to press the volume up or down.
But I was going to update this morning as I have found out what the problem is, it my flash light app (tinyflashlight by Nikolay Ananiev) from the play store I have had it for years.
As I said I have only had my G3 for about 4 weeks but this time when I was setting it up I turned on the voice activation on the torch app for the first time, so when I turn on the lock screen and you say "torch" it turns the torch on, and that was what the issue was.
So posted the reply just in case anybody else has the same problem.
ps. sorry about the smilies I was on a downer, but now I'm not life's great

Ye you never want to be the guy who uses too many smilies. It just looks weird after a certain point. And for future reference anything that affects the lock screen will most likely affect your music players performance on the lock screen. So if you run into any more similar problems check if you got any apps that affect the lockscreen recently.
