Music Beat Light Effect while screen off

[ys]

Can I have Music Beat Light Effect while the screen is off?

I love this feature on my Xperia SP, I want to enjoy my music with the light effect. However it only works when the screen is on. In the other word, I can only have this feature about 30 sceond of one song in stead of an album/ playlist. 

Is there any setting to make the light effect stay on when the srceen is turned off?

Many thanks

If you load up walkman and swipe up from the home button to open Google it will trick it and will keep the LEDs illuminated. You have to do it in a seamless movement, it is difficult to describe in text

Hopefully Sony wont patch it because it is pretty cool, but it will remain the colour of the original  artwork of the song  you first played, but alas it is the only way to do so.

The light effect will not work when the screen is turned off. However I personally agree with you that this would be great if the light effect worked even when the screen is off. I will push this feedback further on internally for you.

I know exactly what you mean, but when Google Now appears, the music beats stop

Get the Walkman icon on your home screen.

Open Walkman, play some music...now get back to home screen.

now the trick begins. tap on the walkman icon on the home screen and as soon as it is getting open just tap the home screen button and the magic will happen.

Just Remember that when you tap the walkman icon u have to tap the home screen button just before the transition happens. it means you have to tap both the icons in just one go with the walkman button being the first!

after this don't swipe out the walkman app from the right pop up activity menu and there you are with the music beats LED still on, also you will get rhythmic LED for any tones played on your device for that period of time. eg. message received, or if you play ringtones in your settings you can see the rhythmic LED.

the only drawback of this trick is that only single color LED will be displayed, that too of the initial song album art's dominant color which you played at the starting of the trick, the color will not change with the music. Im hoping anyone comes up with that trick as well where the colors can also be changed!!

Hope the trick helps you.

Instead of doing all this stuff, there's a neat little way by which you can keep the music led's working even if you are listening to music while sleeping,:smileysmileywink:

Install Mini Lock from play store(It's just a 10 kb app!)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hy.lockscreen&hl=en

Open the app, give it administer priveleges, then slide up from the home screen button as you would do to open google now, But now you will see something different, there will be an option to launch google now or mini lock, choose mini lock and set it default.

Now open walkman, play music and lock the screen using the slide up gesture from home key, your screen will be locked and the music led will be ON!!!

Enjoy!!

If you like this, don't forget to give kudos.

Got another way to have LED effect on ALL THE TIME (when walkman is playing). <tried with Os 4.3>

while inside the walkman app and music is playing, simply tap the TASK-SWITCHER quickly three times, which should keep the task-switcher open and the LED effect on. From there you can lock the screen, go home and open any other app, and it will stay on. (sorry, does not overcome the colour stay)
