I've installed the latest PocketMusic Player software (v5.0.6) on my XDA Orbit with Windows Mobile 6.0 (http://www.pocketmind.com/).
The programme was installed successfully but doesn't work as expected.
The problems I have are:
1) Red 'END CALLl' button doesn't work when the PocketMusic is on. (but it worked fine on my previous XDA Mini S with Windows Mobile 5.0)
2) The "OK/CLOSE" button doesn't work when the Pocket Music is on. (It worked fine on my previous XDA Mini S with Windows Mobile 5)
3) Navigation button ('scroll wheel and mouse' in XDA Orbit) work on PocketMusic only to switch tracks and
turn up/down the volume. In my previous XDA Mini S with Windows Mobile 5.0 I could use navigation button to
look for tracks in the playlist (scroll up and down). This function doesn't work in Windows Mobile 6.0
I can only switch tracks in the playlist by using the touch screen.
4) When the PocketMusic is on and when I go back to the desktop (by minimazing the PocketMusic using touch screen) the
navigation button still doesn't work.
It still works for PocketMusic, so I can change tracks and turn
up/down the volume but I cannot do anything else using navigation buttons unless PocketMusic is off.
(again I want to point that I didn't have such problems with XDA Mini S & Windows Mobile 5.0)
5) PocketMusic stops playing music when it finishes the current track (instead of jumping to another track from the playlist). This usually happens a few days after installation of the program. It that case, the only way to fix it is to re-install PocketMusic...
I've tried installing different versions of PocketMusic player: v4.0.3 ; v4.3.4 ; v5.0 ; v5.0.4 but none
of them worked fine.
Only version v4.3.4 works better than other versions in a way that:
- red 'END CALL' button works when the PocketMusic is on.
- OK/CLOSE button works when the PocketMusic is on .
But yesterday it got worse (see point 5).
5) PocketMusic stops playing music when it finishes the current track (instead of jumping to another track from the playlist). This usually happens a few days after installation of the program. It that case, the only way to fix it is to re-install PocketMusic...
Is Windows Mobile 6.0 'somehow' not compatibile with this PocketMusic?
Why it works perfect with Windows Mobile 5.0 and doesn't with WM 6.0?
Do you have similar problems with Pocket Music on your mobile?
Does anyone know how to solve the problems described above?
I would really appreciate your help
Cheers,
i've the problem n5, with last release 5.2 and other old version...
Does anyone recognize these problems I have with PocketMusic 5.2 on a HTC Kaiser (TyTN II) running WM 6.0:
(1) After succesfully playing the first track (mp3) in a playlist, the second song breaks up terribly. A few milliseconds of the song is played, it then pauses for a second, then another few milliseconds are played and so on.
(2) Using the Next / Previous button while playing causes PocketMusic to freeze up completely when having my Kaiser connected to a bluetooth device (car stereo). A soft reset of my Kaiser is needed to terminate PocketMusic. I've already tried changing all the options in the player but it didn't help. Even removing all the key mappings didn't help. BTW:
- Doubleclicking a different track in the playlist while playing doesn't result in errors and changes to that track without any problems.
- The Next / Previous buttons work flawlessly when NOT connected to a bluetooth device or when NOT playing.
(3) Hardware keys (up/down/left/right/action) don't work at all. Furthermore the key mappings screen doesn't seem to detect pressing any of these hardware buttons.
Surely there are more fans of PocketMusic 5.2? Don't you have any problems?
----- [edit] -----
I just tried out the demo of the paid version (5.3.1). That one didn't have the breaking up problem and the track changing problem. The hardware key problem however wasn't solved.
----- [second edit] -----
I've found the solution to the hardware key problem: CHECK IT OUT!

Is there a way that the media player stays active after the keypad is locked? I' m using the Treo 750 with a bluetooth headset (a2dp works fine). As soon as I lock the keypad the player stops. Could not find any option to change this.
I would also like to know if there's a solution.
Try Scrnsaver.exe [taken from PHM PowerToys] it powers down the screen and locks the keys [D-pad center opens them up again], in other words it keeps the device ON while turning the Display and Keys Off [read: battery saving]. I use it when listening to music via A2DP.
VJDeviceLock
I found a fine solution in the meantime. VJDeviceLock does the trick and works great with the Treo:

I've tried googling all sorts of terms but I still can't fix my problem.
I run Pocketmind PocketMusic as my preferred music player. When I try to go to key mappings, and set one of the hardware keys to turn screen display off, it does the function that's set in the Windows Mobile Buttons panel, which is to go to my Today screen instead of the player commands. Setting that button in the Buttons control panel to <Nothing> doesn't solve this problem . I'm running WM6.
The same key binding worked fine on Conduits PocketPlayer, so I suspect there is another application that is conflicting with it. Any advice would be much appreciated!
heh, Surprisingly I have the exact same issue and it just happened recently for no apparent reason... but regardless I think I have found a resolution, I was running S2U2 and XCPU and I ran iLock from S2U2 and then I did the key lock for XCPU and now it works for some unknown reason.... obscure isnt it?
P.S: Hope it works for you too! If not just remove anything that could affect key locking.
Hi all!
I have an xdaiis & its running o2 1.40. I often listen to music whilst out however haven't found a way of listening to media player but not allowing the unit to function by an accidental tap of the screen or a button, and pressing power stops media player too. Is there a way of stopping this?
Thanks
Check out slide2unlock. You can set it so that it locks the device and turns off the screen a few seconds after running. I know someone who runs one of the earliest versions on a wm2003 device for exactly this reason, or if you are running wm5/6 (I have no idea what o2 1.40 means), then the later versions of s2u2 will work fine.
Greetings.
I want to share what i discovered with this subject and help people to finally use their HD2 as it was suppose to be from the beginning. You are probable all very annoyed by the fact that it is not possible to adjust volume in any video player using volume keys and not to break video playback, especially in full screen mode.
Well, that's history. I found that VolumeX ( http://volumex.jdbp.mobi/default.htm ) can do just that. You can adjust volume in any video player with volume keys without pause/stop/break video playback even in full screen mode...
To activate this ability you have to, of course, install VolumeX and after that you have to alter one registry entry.
Go to HKLM\Software\JDB Pocketware\Volumex\EXCEPS
and there you can add app that would be able to use this ability of VolumeX (you must add class name of the application, it can be found with dotfred's TaskManager on window tab; http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm).
Here is what i add in exception list:
1|HTCYOUTUBE;1|FMRadioMain;1|WMP for Mobile Devices;1|MunichWinClass;1|PlayerFullScreenWindowClass;1|AudioBoosterClass;1|wCorePlayer;1|PocketMusic;1|MYFSPLAYER;1|FspVideoDispWnd
Thankx JDB for this app...
I'm trying volumex, and your tip seems to work great. I actually don't understand why this is not standard (and the whole of Volumex idea)...
Thanks.
Working well, but now I can't get the "volume screen" when I press volume buttons even outside the exception programs. Any idea?
Here are my exceptions:
1|wCorePlayer;1;1|PocketPlayer;1|PocketMusic;1|HTCYOUTUBE;1|FMRadioMain;1|WMP for Mobile Devices;1|MunichWinClass;1|PlayerFullScreenWindowClass;1|AudioBoosterClass;1|FspVideoDispWnd
Thanks
BTW, I'm using and HD2 with Miri's 6.5.x v16 ROM
Solved by JDB, thanks.
