I liked this on my iPod touch because I could listen to tv shows or movies during my extremely long drive to/from work without killing the battery. Also, if I were to put it on just for audio while going to sleep, I want a dark screen so it won't keep me awake but I can hear the audio while falling asleep.


It's not the most important feature but it was very nice and there seems to be no reason to take it away.

it was never a feature before.

just a bug/glitch


however


i stumbled across a possible solution

well, it works on my iphone 4 with firmware 4.3.1


this is what i've done...

1. play any video file with the ipod app. (my videos are in a playlist)

2. while it is running, close the app back to home screen.

3. double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar (whatever it is called)

4. close the ipod app (ipod app must not be running in the background)

5. slide left to the ipod controls and hit play. it should work

or

5. lock the iphone and double tap home button to bring up the ipod controls, hit play and it should work
