Hi All, Just a general interest post..
The W100 headphones appear to function very nicely in the official WM6.
Now when you tap the power button to turn off screen / lock keys my music keeps playing under windows media.
As for earbuds I am using a set from a SE w800i headset. Would not satisfy any audiophiles but they are ok for me and the length is perfect for the W100.
Have had some problems with Media Player Music Library
I just delete:
-Delete the folder \CF Card\MSMETADATA
-Delete the folder \CF Card\WMDRM
and it is all ok again..
I found the workaround from xda-developers - always pays to search..

Not quite as good for me...
When I turn off the screen the music keeps playing, but only till the end of the song I'm listening to. Will not play any other songs until after I turn on screen.
Not a biggie really.

Have not had this problem.. If i select a library / album it plays till all songs are done..
Just as a side note today i had an album playing with TomTom running at the same time (sceen on) and voice prompts were playing over the music with any issues.
Other the TT i have not played with any settings all is default load.
You're Right
If you select album it will play the whole album through while screen is off.
I was having a problem because I was trying to play all the music on my mini SD in shuffle mode.
Seems that the screen needs to be on in order to shuffle the music.
I'll keep testing.
Hmmm that's weird. The problem seems to have fixed itself.
Don't know what I did exactly...have hard resetted several times since flashing. Different software combinations seemed to have adverse effects.
But I've noticed things more stable since I upgraded from SPB Shell Mobile v1 to v1.5.
Could just be coincidence though. Either way I'm happy it's working like it should
I seem to have this problem. I;ve not got shuffle mode on.
Also notice if I select album to play and then pause then play again the problem occurs.
Need to do some more testing but would be interested to know what others have found.
Also I have the W100 which people are complaining about. It does what its meant to with WMP and if I can overcome this play problem then I don't see a problem it is doing its job.
Capeli - i noted in some other thread you got a W100 too. what's your view on it now you've used it a while?
Problem with keepting screen off...
Hello~
I wonder whether anyone else has similar issues but...
For me... when ever I press any button to adjust "volume", "Fw/Rw", "Pause/Play" etc...
Screen just turns itself on~.
I just hope that there is way to keep screen off whilest making any adjustments on wmp...
Hope HTC will provide updated cab file to resolve this if this is common
issue with everyone.

People are complaining because the w100 only works with wmp and most people don't use it. It's library sucks, the screen turns on, there's no "exit player", etc... How hard would it be to allow the W100 to work with other software? :\
I've a seemingly simple problem but its driving me crazy. All I need is to have music playing on my PPC, through a music player accessible using hardware keys. That's all (simple, right?)
Well, it turns out its not that simple. Whenever a music player (my favorite is S2P, and I hate not using it) is playing audio, after a minute the password screen becomes active and all the hardware keys become dysfunctional. The only player that's able to solve this problem is TCPMP, which doesn't let password screen come on, but though being an awesome media player, its not an ideal music player.
That being said, I need the password feature on my PPC, so I can't disable it permanently - just need it to not come on while playing music.
I've tried solving it by creating a mortscript that sends keystrokes, or resets idletime every few seconds, but that didn't help.
I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance..
Hi guys,
love my Leo the longer I have it.
Just one question: has anybody been able to find a sleep timer for Leo? I always fall asleep listening to music or audio book played with the built-in (music tab) player. On my HD, I used PHM Sleep Timer, ticked the option to suspend the device after timeout, it worked like a charm. Unfortunatelly, this doesn't seem to be working on Leo. I suspect the problem is that the sleep timer switches off the screen. The HD hibernated, music stopped, but Leo can play music also with screen off..
Anybody knows about a software or utility that would be able to stop playing the music by hibernating the device? I know that there are music players with built-in sleep timers but I like the music tab player and don't want to install another player if I can avoid it.
Any suggestions welcome
No suggestions?
Don't know a software that fits your needs yet. But how about quickly putting together a custom playlist before going to sleep? That's what I've done for quite some time even on my far "simpler" device like the N82. Want it to end playing in an hour or so? Just put in songs/audiobooktracks worth an hour and there you go.
Hello mates
It's been a while I have been working to fix these issues with HTC HD2's new headset:
- The Next Track/Last Track buttons on the headset do not work with Pocket Player
- When the screen is off (the phone is in your pocket and you are listening to music with Pocket Player), the volume rocker buttons on the phone itself do not work. (You have to take the phone out of your pocket and turn on the screen, unlock the silder and then turn the volume up or down)
If anyone could help with this issue, that would be great!
Hi any luck on this? Were you able to assign buttons for functions?
I am considering buying HD2 and use Pocket Player everyday. Thanks.
I think that Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) is given by default to HTC Sense's Music Player because whenever you press any command on handset/carstereo is switches to that Music Plater ignoring your already active PocketPlayer
I've given up on trying to find solution to it and also contacting HTC because of their ignorant customer service
Weird. Never had that. But I also never used HTC Music Player.
I believe I have a solution for this (with the compromise of getting rid of HTC Sense). If anyone is interested, pls let me know.
Same issue here.
I can not control Pocket Player with my headset controls.
If someone can make this happen there is 20 dlls from me on it (double of what I paid for the player itself).
Thanks for your support and I hope there is a solution for this.
Regards
Use a ROM without HTC Sense / Install PP / In Options, plugins, "update now" / tap WM plugin then tap "configure" / check the "Intercept WMP", then all all items from "Load WMP Plugins" like "HTC WMP" and tick all boxes below, checking "next/back=Rewind/FF" and "play/pause"

Something to work without changing ROMs?
I would like to keep my phone as it is with manufacturer ROM (Sense included) and have the wired controls work with Pocket Player.
The plan is to make a AUX cable with the controls and install it on my car, then I can just change songs without any distracting from the road.
thanks
Hello,
I installed PocketMusic Player on my HTC Leo.
I got problem, this player won't accept standard HTC Handsfree's " Next Song / Previous Song, Accept / Cancel call" buttons.
When I press "Next Song" or "Previous song" it causes built-in WMP to change songs.
Anyone have solved this problem?
I have told this like thousand times. The only player that works with the Headset's button is Pocket Player (after you have installed the WMP plugin). So, there is only on solution for that. Either you use WMP or Pocket Player (with the WMP plugin)

Could you show guide or link on how to install this plug-in? Will it work on Windows Mobile 6.5 ?
Yeah, of course it does. When you have installed Pocket Player and when you are in it, you go to Menu (softkey on the right)-> More-> Options-> (you scroll to the right) Plugins-> (here you have to have a internet connection), there you choose "update now". Then it asks if you want to install the WMP plugin. You say "yes". When it's done, "Conduits WM Adapter" appears in the Plugins list. You choose that and choose configure. Then there is some options you have to check. You check "load WMP plugins" and under it "HTC WMP Control Plug-in" and under it "Play/Pause" and "Back/Next". All of these must be checked (you have to use the Keyboard and the Enter button to check those. Just tapping on them won't check). You tap on OK and restart Pocket Player. When you are back, the headset works perfectly.
By the way, if you have the "slide to Unlcok" enabled, when the screen is off, the headset buttons won't work. So you have to disable the Slide to Unlock thingy.
Good luck..

I've contacted PocketMusic Player developer and received this answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback!
The problem is known to us. It exists on both HTC Touch Diamond and HTC HD2 because HTC did tight integration between AVRCP bluetooth driver and their Touch Flo3D music player. The driver forcefully starts the TF3D player each time any command is received from bluetooth headset. And the control events are sent directly to their player.
We have invested a lot of effort trying to develop some workaround for that issue, but did not find any really usable solution yet. We will continue our tries, but due to the closed nature of HTC's software we can't be sure if it is possible at all.
-----
Best regards,
PocketMind Support Team
That is very bad...
HTC Sense should be as open as Android!
Then developer will be able integrate their own programs.
Otherwise HTC HD2 built-in software - is a useless crap.
They should release some kind of API for this HTC Sense (TouchFlo)

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try it, but again I need to accept some restrictions (like slide & unlock button as you mentioned), and I really hate restrictions

Oh so that what it was, thanks for the tip ! It does work now although holding the next or prev handset key won't forward or rewind in the song as it does with the built in player.
Yeah, I know. But Pocket Player is going to update the plugin in a week or so. The update will fix that problem. But still Pocket Player is the only player that works with the headset (besides the Manila Player). By the way, if you want the screen to stay off when you adjust the volume with volume buttons on the device, put Pocket Player in background. That way the screen stays off when you adjust the volume or push play/pause or last/next buttons on the headset.
I played a lot with that freaking thing to figure that out, you know

Very strange... I followed your manual and NEXT/BACK buttons don't work
But "Play/Stop" button works great...
What might be incorrect ? My Pocket Player version is 4.0
Should I also Check "Intercept/Override WMP" and "Windows Media Player Mobile A2DP Plugin", or only "HTC WMP Control Plug-in" ?
Anyway... doesn't work.. I tried even PocketPlayer 4.1, there was WMP plugin adapter already. Configured it like you said... and from my Handsfree works only middle button (play/pause/call)
By the way, when you are inside the plugin and configuring it, you have to check "Close WMP before loading" and "Intercept/override WMP" as well. Try that...
One more thing. Pocket Player can be very very stubborn. Remember, when you change the options in Advanced tab, they won't do whatever they say they'll do. So do not change the options in the Advanced tap. If the handset still won't work, uninstall Pocket Player and delete all of its registry. (use resco registry explorer and search for Pocket only. When it finds the registries, make sure that the found registry is a registry of Pocket Player and nothing else). After you have deleted the registry, install the program again. And ONLY do what I have described above and nothing more.
I have done these things like 1000000 times. So trust me in this one.
Of course you have to check "HTC Control Plug-in". Didn't I say that? Without that it won't work

Thanks for explaining hints to me... However I already don't find this as a good idea. With "Sound Booster" enabled in WMP I don't see difference in sound quality between WMP and Pocket Player. I'll probably wait when there will be more simple solution, without messing into registry and drivers. [
I'm interested in such thing: is there a way to create a plugin/driver that will support any external media player ? If yes, I might be interested in writing it.
It really makes a difference when both of the equalizers combine (I mean equalizers of Pocket Player and Boost Manager. No WMP here at all.) It makes the sound clearer with more bass. Anyway, you don't need to mess with your registry. It's just deleting the registry tracks of Pocket Player. No messing with it or messing with any drivers.
Anyhow, what I described is for getting the headset buttons to work. And Sound Booster doesn't have anything to do with WMP. The WMP-plugin makes Pocket Player to pretend like it's WMP so the headset buttons work. As simple as that. No hocus pocus
I don't know much about that kind of driver so ...
