Hi there
I recently moved from Xperia ARC to Note, so i decided to keep Power Amp with me, the thing is that it can´t download artwork anymore.
I have Spare Parts working so all the apps go on full screen mode, i don´t know if that has something to do.
I tried Player Music Pro and it works fine, but for some reason Power Amp just can´t download artwork anymore, i checked the settings again and again and everything should be ok, the same way it always worked.

Hi all, Thanks for all the ROM's, I have tried many on my xda2, wizard and universal over the last couple of years.
Anyway, i have a problem someone may be able to help me with. When i use any WM6 rom i find that when i have setup my activesync to connect to my work email with direct push an i am forced to hav a security pin, when i use the power button to turn off (or if my screen turns off after inactivity) when i switch back on using the power button i am returned to the home screen automatically and any active application is closed.
This happens with the touchflo cube, pointui, media player, slidelock....anything. It is realy frustrating as i need to relaunch the program again....annoying if playing music and completley defeating the benefits of the cube and pointui.
I have tested this without the security pin on a fresh rom and everything works fine, switch off and back on and i get the same screen. connect to work and set the pin and its back to the home screen every time.
I went back to using WM5 which is fine but I lost the ability to have stereo bluetooth a2dp. I can get it working but only in mono through both earpieces.
I also cannot disable the security pin as I need my email from work and I am forced to have it via a policy.
Does anyone know of a solution to either the WM6 problem with the homescreen or if you can get proper stereo from a WM5 rom on the Wizard.
Please don't make me have to go back to my Blackberry.
Many thanks to all of you out there for allowing me to get the best out of my old kit. It realy is great that I can change the look and feel at will and it feels like i get a new phone every time I try a new ROM.
There is a way to prevent your device locking even if there is an Exchange policy requiring that it lock every X mins.

Download the application and it will allow you to change the time until lock. I have mine set to 24hrs.....It doesn't lock at all now!

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for the reply but it is not the lock that is causing the problem. I can set the time upto 24hrs (which I have) but this does not stop the problem. I can unlock, launch media player (or any app), press the power button to switch of screen, media player will still be playing the music fine. But then when I press the power button to turn the screen on everything running is stoppped and I get presented with the home screen.
If I reflash the Rom everthing works fine but as soon as i connect to exchange and i set the security it imediatly reverts back to the problem. I have tried this on many WM6 roms and they all do the same.
I have even set the security manually without the connection to excahnge and it still has the same problem.
Hope I am making sense.
Cheers

Hello together,
have my Raphael since a few weeks, had a prophet before.
now i noticed some strange behaviors that i did not had in my prophet and hope there are fixes.
1. Randomly Closing programms
sometimes (most of the time) programms are closed at random om my raph. for example i am having slickim open, and use opera to surf. when i want to check slick i go to home via hardbutton to use htc task manager but find out its closed and opera with it.
next time i have some progs open and put the cell aside and when i come back a while and all progs are closed and i am back at "today"
this renders all things besides phoning quite useless cuz i can not come back later and pick up where i left.
2. a2dp headphone only contolling htc musik/ wmp
i am using some sony ericsson bluethoot headset. i have to press play/pause to get my headset connected what starts the htc audio player and plays the first song. i no have removed the "musc" tab now wmp starts with the same behavior.. since i mostly listen to podcasts and audiobook i need bookmarking. so wmp is rather useless to me but i love mortplayer. but i allways have to get wmp stop playing musik quit back to today start mortplayer and use the touchscreen to play/pause cuz play/pause on the headset starts wmp again.
so for mp3 raphael is also quite useless and i use a dedicated mp3 player right now.
3. back button behaves "uncalculatable"
sometimes the back button works as ok/back button in the "normal" wm programs. the next time it behaves like a close button and brings me instantly back to "today" somtimes just putting the progs in background sometimes closing them compleatly.
so i dont dare using the back button cuz i dont know what he will do but use my fingertips to actually operate the "ok/x" button in the upper right corner. quite annoying
4. cant flash rom/hardspl
when i try to install hardspl every thing wents fine (incl. activesync connection)till ruu tries to find my rom version. there i get an error telling me that some important communication services could not be started and i should reboot my phone and try again.
i hope anyone can help me with my little problems and i can start enjoying my raphael.

I had the same problem. Read the Wiki page carefully, especially note 2. Once i ran the SSPLmanual file everything worked correctly.
Cant help with the other points yet, only got my Raph today, and not had enough time to get to grips with it yet!
I think the title says it all. I would like shoot a long video in a fixed position, keeping the screen on is a real battery killer.
Cheers John
have you tried using a screen-off app tied to a hard button?
Yep, tried BlackMe 1.3 but that kills the camera from working. The camera doesn't seem to like working in the background. Tried just turning the screen off with the power button, hoping it would be like Mp3 players that keeps playing music.
Associate blackme to the center Dpad button, if you havent already.
Reason I suggest that, is so you can keep the camera/videorecorder in the foreground, and just hit that button to shut the screen off.
Obviously sometimes programs dont like working when the screen is off so idk if that will work.. but worth a try if you havent already (hard to tell from your response).;
If it does not, you would need a seperate video recording program that lets it record with the screen off. Dont know if those are available.
(also, hitting the power button is much different from blanking the screen .. so im not surprised the power button didnt work.)

Has anyone figured out a solution, yet? I've been wondering this since I got the phone...
Me want this too! Been searching for quite sometime but no luck. Come in handy if we want to take pic or vid discreetly, ehm..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant on Tmobile. Does anyone know how to turn off the screen when playing music in the background? When I hit the side button to turn off the screen, it turns off for a moment and turns back on again.
have you tried going to your home screen after you start the music app? Once on your home screen the app would be minimize and then your screen should time out automatically...
I am having the same problem on my Motorola Atrix. I have tried the default music player, winamp, vplayer and they all stop playing music when I try to put the phone in standby mode. Any solution or advice?
I find it hard to believe that this issue has not been resolved. I find it a very necessary setting to have for android to save battery power. Searched the internet with no solution yet. Please help. Thanks
Dear Forum.
I need your help or guidens.
My double-tap to wake function on my new Smartwatch 2 i got yesterday won't work.
It's updated to the newest version, and i've tried reseting it, hit the screen multiple times at different speed, different watchfaces, custom and standard, restarted it like 20 times, locking the screen manually and waiting for it to go to stand-by, and then double tapping, but it is no use
However, if i double-tap in an empty area, where i dont got any widgets, the screen lights up, but im not able to use any of my widgets (like vol up/down or music player).
Or is that how it's supposed to be?
Isn't it like on the Tablet Z where you're able to unlock and then use the screen/tablet? Or the like the LG G2 for that matter.
If not, it's useless
But if so: What can i do to fix it? My PC doesn't seam to regognize the watch, so im clueless.
Thank you in advance, for any kind of help or advice
