Leave mp3 playing when turning off? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I've just flashed to the Jacko ROM, and am finding that if an mp3 podcast is playing it stops if I press the power button to turn off the screen. Does anyone know how I can configure WM to keep playing the podcast when I press the power button?

I was facing a similar problem with my origninal HTC TPII which came with default T-mobile ROM version.
I upgraded to the following ROM version today and I can now play the music in my media player while turning the device to sleep mode.
ROM Name : WWE RHODIUM Cookie Energy style
ROM Version : 03.Jul.2010 WWE
ROM date: 03/15/10
RADIO Version : 3.45.25.14
May be you can try the above ROM and see if it helps you..

Thanks for the suggestion. Funnily enough I just switched from the Energy ROM to Jackos ROM, mainly because it leaves me with 20Mb extra program memory! I'm not keen to go back to the Energy ROM for this reason.

Thanks for the reply.. I am a newbie and like mentioned earlier, I tried installing the Energy ROM today itself.. I have yet to try the other ROM's and will try them step by step once I am convinced which is better..
Your explanation gives me a valid reason to try Jackos ROM very soon..
Tried to help you, seems I got some additional knowledge.. Thanks again..

Haha, again a funny thread xD
I guess your problems with playing music while suspended are related to SD card problems. Format them, copy your music back to a folder and see if it works! I had never problems with playing music and turning my device off 0.o And I'm listing a lot to music with my headphones or BT headset while traveling.

Why not install the Sk_customs Keep the music playing .cab. It does exactly what you want without changing the rom.

Thanks for the suggestion. OK I just reformatted the memory card then copied everything back to it. Same problem - music stops when I turn off the screen.
Where can I find Sk_customs Keep the music playing? I've never heard of it before.

I ran into this problem and went through all the motions and in the end it was the card itself, the brand, I think it was a transcend 8gig. Got another card,different brand(Danelec or something) and the problem went away

Do you use a 3rd party multimedia player? I found that CoreCodec would not play while the screen is turned off (with the headphone plugged in), but HTC built in audio player plays it just fine.

I use Windows Media Player, but have also tried Pocket Player 4.1.
I'm pretty sure it's not the card that's the problem as it was working fine with the previous (Energy) ROM.

Any News on where to get this?
Cab would be great.

I found the file (don't remember where, and sadly it doesn't work for my phone). Oh wait, I just saw that this is a Tilt 2 thread (I have a Tilt 1): I came upon this thread by googling, not through the menus.

Again use the shk_customs keep the music playing cab does exactly what you want. I use the CorePlayer and it works perfectly for me to keep the music on when the screen or power is off.
Why use a piledriver like a rom change when a small hammer works fine.

Music panel in all ROMs

Sorry for the new thread, I've tried posting this question in another thread with no answer. I also (first thing I did) tried searching for my problem all over these forums and the web, with no real findings.
I'm having a huge problem with TF3D's music panel. Everytime I click to play a track, it plays about 3-5 seconds of the track, then just stops. All softkeys still work, and if I try pausing/playing, it repeats. All tracks I've tried. It also doesn't list all the music (all music stored on microSD under same folder). All the songs play fine under WMP on the phone (as well as all other devices obviously). Any help???

Are your files on the microSD card (I'm assuming so, just want to verify). What type of files are they (.wma .mp3 .aac etc) maybe we can narrow this down. I'm recently liberated from iTunes, so a lot of my files are in aac (drm-free) format, so maybe I have to convert straight to mp3????
Sounds very strange, I think the reason not many people have replied is that they dont experience this issue.
I have played music on my unbranded TP2 with the stock rom and then many custom roms all without any problem.
Sorry I know that doesnt help you...
I am playing mp3's from the memory card.
Have you tried to copy the file to the internal memory and play it from there? Perhaps you memorycard is too slow?

yeah they are on my micro sd. they are mp3 i would post a ringtone but i only have spanish music lol
The issue I'm having is that not all my mp3's (which are all in the same directory on the SD card) are showing up, only about 15 of the 50 mp3's I have show.
Everything shows fine in the Windows Media Player though. Just not the TF3D interface
I'm starting to think it may be the fact that my music is AAC format....ugh...that's just way too much converting.......

Funny, I get the different album covers for different artists!
Anyhow, I'm going to delete all the SD card files, and edit the various ID tags and see if thats the issue. I think it may be that they are being read incorrectly.
I had this issue when using the Leo build from NRG, only played a few seconds of song for me and sometimes it would just freeze and not play anything. Im using Photon now and all music plays fine

Sense Music tab stops playing after a short time

I have never been able to get my music tab functioning correctly on my device. Whenever I try to play a music file, it will play for about 1-2 minutes and then it just stops playing. It usually seems to happen around 1:45. It isn't just that it loses sound, the time stops counting up and everything. The only way to get it to start playing again is to actually stop the playback and start it over again. The problem only occurs when I try
to use the music tab. WMP, TCPMP, MortPlayer, etc are all fine.
This issue has gone on pretty much since I got my phone last year. I believe that at one time in the past it DID seem to get resolved but I have no idea what was different or what ROM I was running at the time.
Preventing the phone from turning the screen off (my first thought) does not appear to extend the time before it stops. Having the phone plugged in also has no effect. It happens using BT audio as well as the phone's speakers. This issue has persisted across multiple ROM versions and cooks. I have been running mostly EnergyROM lately but have also encountered it with Valkyrie and others.
If anyone has any good ideas on how to fix this I would be grateful. It has gotten to the point that I just ignore the music tab entirely if I don't actively remove it from Sense, but it would be nice to be able to use it.
I'm assuming you're playing your music off of the SD card? Does it behave the same when you play files from the onboard memory?
same here and yeah im running it off the SD card. help please
I too am having the exact same problem.
I have had the problem, but I found out that Opera was also always open when this happens, and I just assumed that the system was running out of memory, so I just play music when Im doing NOTHING else when using the Sense player, but the Alternative is to just use WMplayer or TCMP or Nitrogen
well sense the new cht has the music player on the homescreen i find it very nice and usefull and wmp does take up any memory while the htc sense doesnt..so yeah =/

[Q] Music stops when app switching.

I've asked this question before but there were no replies.... I hope this time I'll get some pointers and re-phrase my question better.
I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Sometimes my music stops playing when switching apps or pressing the home button to return to the home screen, it doesn't happen all the time, but very troublesome when it does. It happens usually just right after unlocking the phone from sleep. I'm using the stock music player
I've noticed that this issued happened to Android phones as well, I tried to update the stock music app, and switched kernels. I don't know what else I can do. I don't recall encountering this problem back in 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated

Give us a bit more info:
1. What music app are you using? If it's an app that can both play local media files and stream, which are you doing?
2. Are you playing your music through headphones, the internal speaker, or Bluetooth?
3. If headphones, have you tried other headphones? If Bluetooth, how far away are the devices?
4. Which ROM and Kernel are you using?

I said I'm using the stock music player, Play Music.
I'm playing music through headphones.
I am sure that this problem is not because of the headphones
I'm using the stock 4.1.1 ROM JRO03C. This problem happend on both the stock kernel and Franco Milestone 5
Are you running any other memory hungry apps? Sounds like your music player is getting killed because the memory is needed for something else.
I've had this happen in two instances, so hopefully my personal experience will help you.
The first time, it ended up being a faulty cord in my Nokia Purity HD headphones, I bought a new cord and that fixed my issues.
The second time it was because I was attempting to play music, that I had downloaded in Spotify, but since I was in a crappy coverage area, it would pause the music every time I lost a data connection, even though the music was stored locally. Switching Spotify to offline mode fixed it, so you might try switching to offline only mode in Play Music.
Even if you don't think it's your headphones (for example, you tried them on a PC and they worked), you have to remember that phones have many more contacts inside the headphone jack, used for the media controls in headsets (headphones with buttons and mics), so if there is a short in your headphones that makes the phone think you're pressing the "Play/Pause" button, it wouldn't show in your PC, because most if not all PCs lack this functionality.

[Q] Please Help me guys!!

Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.
The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!

[Q] Issues with skipping/pausing/starting .m4a

So I've been using Pocket Casts as a podcast player for a while now, and I've never had any issues until switching to the LG G3 (T-Mobile variant).
When I try to play any podcast with .m4a, the podcast will play normally, but the moment I try to use any seeking commands (forward, rewind, pause) the seeker will jump around.
For example, if I pause at 14:53, and then try to restart again, it could randomly jump to 1:10. The same thing happens when I try to forward or rewind.
Curiously, I've noticed that with rewinding and forwarding, they seem to prefer certain time spots. Like if I spam the rewind button, it will constantly go to a certain time period.
If you want to test this yourself, you can try downloading "The Rooster Teeth Podcast" or "The Patch Podcast" on any podcast player, as I know those two use the .m4a format.
To make sure it wasn't the player, I tried downloading podcast addict, which gave the same issue. I also downloaded an earlier episode of the Rooster Teeth Podcast which was an mp3 file, and it played with no issues.
Has anybody else encountered this issue, and does anybody have a fix?
I'd like to bump this seeing as I'm not the only one with this issue. I too tried using other podcast players to play the RT Podcast/Patch, all of them would skip ahead several minutes. They would also refuse to seek past the 45 minute mark or something around there.

Got the same problem with podcast addict. The developer wrote me, that the app is using the internal player. After testing the internal player with m4a files, i can confirm that the issue persist.
I also wrote the LG support about this issue and the answer was: LG does not official support m4a! WTF?
Alternative 1: Use 3. party player. But I didn't find a good one. Only VLC was playing the file but stops audio files if the screen is off.
Alternative 2: Use mp3 feed instead of m4a.

Pretty bummed out about this.
Just thought I'd poke my head in and let you know you aren't the only one. Iv'e got the same problem too on Beyond Pod, and so do others with the G3.
