Music Stops when power button pressed?

---

Anyone have any info on this?

My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.

Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.

But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.

There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.

Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.

Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.

Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far

Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.

Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.

Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.

My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.

EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.

EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.

I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.

Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.

Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.

Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?

i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.

If anyone has a fix for this, please post

Thanks!

Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
