Keep The Screen on While Listening To Music IOS8

While driving and listening to music, I prefer to have the iPhone's screen on ... just makes it easier to change songs without having to hit the home button to bring the player controls back up.  Is there a way to do this in ios8?

Hi shafeen, 
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can turn off the Auto-Lock in Settings to keep you iPhone from going to sleep. Keep in mind that your battery life will decrease if your iPhone does not go to sleep. 
iPhone: About General Settings
Auto-Lock
Locking iPhone turns off the display. Nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still receive calls and text messages, an you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone Stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.
Set the amount of time before iPhone locks
Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.
Have a great day, 
Joe

  • Ipad screen freezes while listening to music

    this problem has occurred several times since i upgraded to IOS5 and basically when i am listening to music and want to change playlist or genre,etc... the screen freezes and it will not let me change to what i selected.Whatever i'm listening to that's it unless i go and restore ipad to it's original settings and then it works well until down the road it decides to freeze and must perform restore again.
    Please help.Thx.

    Ok,i am replying to my question and i have found the solution!
    I had set my auto lock to never and when i changed the auto lock to 15 minutes all my problems went away.It's been a week and my problem with the screen going black and not beign able to make any changes while listening to the music app has not come back.
    Hopefully whomever reads this and has the same problem just follow my example and you should be fine.
    Good luck

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • How can I stop text tones from playing while listening to music?

    When I am using my phone as an iPod I sometimes get multiple texts from people in various group messages. Is there a way to disable the text tones while listening to music?

    Hey there Brett, during the summer I found myself with a broken ringer and it was stuck on full volume. If you go into your setting under sound you will find your text tones, there you will select NONE and theres no noise when you get a text

  • Screen Savers That Work While Listening To Music

    HI, i'm having a hard time find a simple "screenblanker"(mabye text or a clock) screensaver saver that I can have on while listening to music. My problem is all the apple original screen savers, they all turn off when I ajust my music volume! And i dont want this to happen  Anyluck?

    I have a very cool suggestion for you:
    1: Download the free SoundStream screeensaver and install it, set it as your screensaver.
    http://pcheese.net/software/soundstream/
    2: Next open AppleScript Editor and paste this script in:
    tell application "System Events"
        if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then
            tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
        else
            do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
        end if
    end tell
    4: Now Save the script "DeskScreen" as a Application to your Utilities Folder and drag a alias to the Dock.
    5: Hide the Dock (optional)
    6; Play iTunes and enable the "DeskScreen" and enjoy, uses your microphone and the sound to create effects.
    7: To stop the effect, just click the "DeskScreen" icon in the Dock again and it turns off. You have full use of the computer too.
    8: Works with most screensavers. Eats CPU/GPU, so you might want to cut it off when your using the machine for heavy duty programs.
    Enjoy

  • How to make the screen dim while music is playing

    I can't get the screen to dim while playing music on my iPod Nano.  It used to be that the screen dimmed while music was playing until it lit up when I hit a button to change volume, track, etc.  This preserved the battery life.  It seems that I inadvertantly changed some setting just a few days ago because I saw the apple logo appear on the screen and since then have not been able to figure out how to make the screen dim while playing music.  I think the fact that the screen is staying on while I'm listening now is making the battery out very quickly.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  Thank you!

    Hello ZingMA,
    You need to reset the backlight timer.
    Go to settings, general, and backlight. You should be able to set if from there. I am assuming you have a 6th gen nano. If you have a different model the user manuals have the steps. Found here:
    iPod nanos
    Hope this helps.

    ipod shuffle 2 gen. while listening to music shuts down after 3-4 minutes (many times flashing red light). Shows the full battery charge (green signal). . Restore did not help ...

    Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing.  You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

  • How do I keep the screen from dimming in Front Row DVD Player

    Nothing against the standard DVD Player program, but when I'm using the remote Front Row has more functionality. When I use it plugged in, there is no problem, but on battery power the screen auto-dims like normal and then brightens again and dims again...on and on. It proves to be very distracting.
    Is there any way anybody knows to keep the screen from dimming like that while im in front row DVD player?

    Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and change the time for screen dim in your prefs for battery operation. You can always change the setting back to the existing setting later, if you like.

  • Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker,

    Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only).  Was this former-feature now an oversight??  I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of  audio option.  Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

    Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

    I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

    You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

  • When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen.

    When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...
