Turn Off Phone but Keep Music Playing

[rambo6]

With some WM6 ROMs, one can turn the phone off and keep WMP playing. The DOPOD ROM acts this way but the BA WM6 and the Sprint WM6 Titan shut off WMP when the phone is turned off.

Does anywone know a hack or have a .cab to keep the music playing when the phone's turned off?

Thanks

in the forums there was devicelock cab which can just lock the device and turn off the screen which prevents the working programs of closing

Just a small trick for you guy, without having to install any new software or cabs, but using your current WMP:

1. Turn on your WMP,
2. Go to Menu / Options
3. Chose tab Buttons (at the end to the right)
4. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see "Toggle Screen"
5. Select "Toggle Screen" and click Assign button.
6. Press any arrow button (up or down, as right and left are assigned to Previous and Next already) to assign to this function (I chose "up").
7. OK and done.

Now when you play WMP, you just need to press that button and the screen is totally off.

Enjoy listening! Cheer!

Just keep your WMP playing and do not minimize or toggle back to Today Screen or anywhere else. Jus keep WMP your active program and then press I/O button jus once, your PPC will get off, but you should know thats only the backlight thats getting off. Yep if you want more than your backlight to get off, proceed with the tweak as someone is hinting here. But why tweak your PPC? :D

Install GS Player and make a hot key for "display off & lock".

put slide to unlock and set it turn off with backlight.
minimize wmp.
wait backlight to off or run s2u.
it turn off ur screen without pausing the wmp and also lock the device so u can put it in cover or pocket.

ever tried to use this regkeys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:1
"FastCacheReserve"=dword:800000
"LocalCacheReserve"=dword:800000

it means turn off screen, not phone. there r so many software can turn off screen: pbar, pocketplus...

Thanks guys. I'll try some of these out. My BA is working great with WM6.

I tried this but it didn't work. Thanks anyway. Any other ideas? I notice that on my hermes, there are similar registry settings. It works on the Hermes. But not on the BA or Kaiser

Instead of WMP...

You should try PocketMusic... it's much better than WMP... aside from what you want to happen...

it has a graphic equalizer... a Bass booster... an alarm option... and i think a better playlisting...
