Turning the Screen off on X5???

[stevoo187]

Hey Guys,

I'm about to get an Axim X5 and i was just wondering if anyone knows if you can listen to music with the screen off. If not, I guess I'll find out in a few days :)

Yes, most music players will have that option.

From the weekly tips archive at Pocket PC Magazine try this:
"Toggle Screen in Windows Media Player

If you are playing music on your Pocket PC, you might want to toggle the screen off to conserve your battery and to avoid pressing a button on the screen accidentally. To toggle the screen off, go to Tools > Settings > Buttons in Windows Media Player. From the "1. Select Function" drop box choose "Screen Toggle", then press the hardware button to which you want to map the Screen Toggle functionality." :approve:

By the way, the archives of Pocket PC Magzine have some great tips. You can find it here: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_top/tiparchives.asp I also use another utility that's freeware called ScreenToggle Application. I had no problems with it on my X5 or X50V and you can download it here from Pocket Gear: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14497 :approve: Link it to appear in your menus on the Today screen and you're good to go.
