While playing, Huawei music player takes the all space on lock screen and hides everything else - very inconvenient. How can I make it taking a small portion of lock screen (just control buttons) or not showing at all?

Is it possible to listen to music on the XDA with the screen off? ie just like when your talking on the phone and the screen is off but the speaker is still active.
If I turn the phone off with the power button the music stops, also the auto power off after time X doesn't kick in when Win Media Player is running.
Having the screen on all the time (even with the back light off) really drains the battery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
If you're using Windows Media Player, goto Tools, Settings, and then Buttons. You'll be able to map Screen Toggle to a key which will turn the screen on/off with the press of a button.

Hi!
Yes, you can do it too with other players like GSPlayer and Mort Player.
These players come with preset timer to off your screen to save battery power and at the same time allows you to listen to music.
resco audio thingy will do the same job, as will betaplayer.
be sure to enable the feature through options.
Also im sure there are many more programs that will do this for you.
(even just a backlight plug-in?)

Pocket Music Player 3 has this feature also. It's one of the better players I've found thus far.

phm power toys has a app that will turn off the display

Heres another little freeware app that I have been using for a while - gives an option on the Today screen to turn off display, and pressing one of the units buttons turns it back on.
Also gives on screen bar graph of the battery capacity (the main function of the program i think) plus main memory and expansion memory capacity/usage, plus a soft reset, ability to turn off auto power off and a few other things i cantremember.....
There has been a lot of notes from people who have installed and cant uninstall (although why you would want to is beyond me..) but if you go into settings/today/items/ select power check then options, there is all the configuration settings plus instructions on how to uninstall.
Cheers, Dave.
EDIT.... Might help if i pasted in the link huh... http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/powercheck.shtml
EDIT2... Worth mentioning that the default button to fire back up the screen is Button 1, which on the XDA2 is the top right button (calendar). Don't do what I did and try each of the buttons - couldnt work out what button 5 was so I selected it as the option to turn back on the unit - guess what - there is no button 5 on the XDA2.... soft reset wouldn't bring it back up, had to hard reset in the end... Please learn from my mistakes!!!
hi, coming off an ipod touch i am pretty much used to change volume without unlocking the screen.
is it possible to do it on the vibrant?
why does it lock those buttons while the screen is off?
It doesn't lock the buttons. I change volume all the time while listening to Pandora with the screen off.
using the default music player it does not change the volume, only bring up the lockscreen
I use Winamp. In the options for Winamp, there is a "lockscreen" option so that when you come out of standby, the winamp player controls will pop up. This way you don't have to unlock the rest of your phone before changing songs/etc.
Also, with winamp, you can use volume buttons while screen is off.

just installed winamp and i am getting the same result, using vibrant with stock ji6 firmware.
pressing the volume buttons only brings up the lockscreen
got it... it was beucase of my custom lockscreen program lockbot.
will delete it now.
When I turn on my phone, I get the general Samsung start-up sequence, which is fine. What I am finding annoying is the music that starts to play when the home screen loads up - this is the music that continues until I pull the notification bar down. Does anyone know what this file is called/where it is located so I can get rid of it?
Since a few nightlies back I no longer get the media control buttons on lock screen when playing music. Is that something that's been removed from the nightlies or have I installed something that blocks the controls from showing?
Hi
I inherited a Samsung Galaxy 4 player from my daughter. I want to use it primarily for listening to audio books and have installed smart audio player for this purpose.
Earlier I was using an old Windows Phone. On that device if I turn off the display or it turns off after the specified interval, when I turn it back on the audio player controls (play/pause control primarily) are visible on top of the screen saver making it easy to pause or resume.
With the android device however, this is not the case. If the display goes off when I turn it back on (using the button on the top right side of the device) I am presented with a screen saver and an instruction to sweep glass to unlock. There are no audio player controls visible.
Is there anyway to bypass that initial screen, i.e. not have it display at all? Since more often than not I would have been in the audio player app before the display turned off, at least I have direct access to the controls.
Let me know if my request makes sense or you need additional information.
Thanks
