Hello I'm new here & am looking for some help concerning an issue at work. We have a server rack tied into our phone system & its set up to when we put someone on hold our commercial plays. This has been done with an ipod touch but we wanted something where anyone of our associates can change the playlist remotely. Most of the office is pretty much pro android so we hooked up a mini pc type android tv stick and everything works the way it should.. however we were looking for a way should the power go out the device will automatically start the music player's commercial playlist. There should be someway to script this via terminal emulator or script manager yes? The device is already rooted should that matter. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here

does anyone know if this would even work?
This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps
Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?
First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.
Hello,
I am a newbie here and I really enjoy the forums. I have a couple of questions. I am having trouble getting the net framework to download on my computer properly and I dont know how to get the actual program on my diamond. I am also having problems with playing some of the games like Xtrackt and the beer simulator and shoot me. It claims I need the newer net framework. I ALSO cannot run TF3D config on the device for some reason.
-Any takers?
Hey there,
there are two ways of installing .net. I don't know which version you are looking for, but it should be the same for all versions.
You can either do it through active sync/mobile device center, therefore you connect your phone, set up the connection with active sync/mobile device center and then run the setup of .net.
You can find a .cab file via google, download it directly to your phone or transfer it from your computer via usb to the phone and just run it there to install.
Dennis
Ok, thanks! 99% of my applications are working now. However, I am still having a problem with Xtract running. Everytime I try to run it, it does not work and keeps coming up with pop-up messages and sometimes just end up soft reseting the diamond. Please help
Coming from Windows Mobile (I-Mate PDA2k, HTC Touch Cruise, HTC Diamond2)
I've always been able to
1. Sync my Phone (Contacts, Calender, etc)
2. Access my Storage (Internal and SD Card)
3. Share Internet (Internet Pass-Through)
4. Charge my phone
at the same time.
Now I bought myself the Sensation XE and found out that when I connect the phone to my computer, I can do only one of the first 3 options mentioned at any given time. That is 1, 2 or 3, which isn't as good as what I could do on WM (1, 2 and 3 same time)
So I was wondering if there is anyway to set up the phone or my computer or if there is any program or app I could use to enable all those options at the same time (sync my phone, access the storage and use the internet from my computer)
I hope there is a solution to my problem else I would be pretty disappointed with HTC constant habit to disappoint me and Android on the whole
Off the topic, previously when on Windows Mobile, I had the Windows Media Player which had the "Now Playing" list to which I could ADD songs to it or REMOVE songs from it.
Now on both the default Music Player and the PowerAMP there doesn't seem to be such feature and so I was wondering if there is any music player app available that has a Now Playing list with options to add/enqueue songs to the Now Playing list and also option to remove songs from the list
I am aware that I can create a playlist, however some days I want some specific songs and other days I want only a few of those songs.
can anyone help?

Hi,
I used to have HD2 WinMo,and when I found Android could go on the phone,I never looked back.
Considering how much better Android is than WinMo,you should be able to live with the very few parts of WinMo that are no longer available in Android.
I'm on ARHD ICS 6.0.0,and my stock music player has a "queue" system which you can edit(add music etc.)
HTC Sync is one of the few things that bugs me about Android.
You will find yourself installing/uninstalling it a lot!
While it is synching,it does charge as well,but that's as close as you will get to the original.
Good luck.
I'm not aware of software PC side which does this
regarding sync'ing the easiest solution is to use Google services - that way calendar, email, contacts etc - all sync all the time - usb, wifi, 3G - you simply stop thinking about them frankly as it all happens automatically
hope this helps
Shaun
Thanks for helping out both of you
I guess now I have a different issue
I've started syncing everything with Google and so the Sync part is dealt with
I'm getting an unlimited data plan so the Internet Pass-Through is also dealt with
However now I notice if I mount the SD card into the PC, it becomes unavailable on the phone (if you know any solution to make the SD card available on both places at once, please let me know)
Regarding the music player, I think I will have to wait for the official ICS to release, the phone is less than a month old so I don't want to try weird stunts on it.
anyways thanks once again

Hi,
In terms of the sd card,it can only work in one place at a time.
Hence the option in Settings/storage to unmount the card,so that you can also remove it while the phone is on.
My husband attempted to connect his Tab 2 7.0 to our desktop computer which runs Xubuntu 12 only to find he cannot transfer music or video files to the tab. I ran across the "[GUIDE] How to transfer files in Linux" thread, forwarded it to him, and he followed the directions given. Everything appears to have gone smoothly during the process, however Linux is still not recognizing the tablet or the tablet gives a (vague) error. We never had this trouble using the Samsung Galaxy Player as it would simply connect and we were good to go. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. If I need to give more details, let me know! Sorry if I am not providing enough information to start with.

I would suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728486
Since ICS and Jelly Bean no longer support USB Mass Storage for file transfer (replaced by MTP) file transfers between Linux and ICS/JB are a little harder at the moment. I run Fedora 17 and am not able to drag/drop files from my PC to my tablet. Until the kinks are worked out I'm using scp to copy files. I installed "DropBear SSH Serfver" from the market, which is a good SSH server.
There is a tool called 'gmtp' that is a GNU/Linux UI for MTP-Filetransfer. It does not always connect to the tablet, though. But when it does, it works like a charm.
Ah... if you disable ADB, gmtp should more realibly connect to the tablet.
I'm currently trying out ADBFS.
I'm a little disappointed with the decision to move to MTP, but I understand why they did it. In order to allow you to mount as mass storage, it has to first unmount the flash, which can cause issues if events come in and sounds (which exist on the flash) need to be played, etc.
Honestly, I just use a cheap NAS at home and use Astro to transfer files to and from it. I don't need to worry about cables this way.

Must try for Android Addicts
Managing your Android phone or tablet does not mean that you have to establish a physical connection – providing you have a copy of AirDroid installed. With this app in place on your Android device, all you then need is a web browser; it does not matter which web browser you use or whether you are running OS X, Linux or Windows. Launch the app and you will be provided with both a URL and an IP address that you can use to establish a remote connection along with a pass code for security.
Once this has been entered you’ll be presented with a virtual desktop for your device. This is not an emulator, so you will not be working with a representation of your phone or tablet, but you will be able to browse through its contents and even make use of various features. You can quickly see how much space you have left available both on internal storage and your memory card and you can see how this space is taken up by different types of file.
There is a great file browser that can be used to view the contents of your device, but also enables you download files to your computer or upload them to your phone or tablet. Drag and drop support is a great feature and you can also install and uninstall apps with ease, including setting up batch operations to help get things completed more quickly.
Other great features include a shared clipboard that can be used to copy and paste text between computer and Android. You can also view your call logs, control your ringtone settings and control your music from your computer. If your device is rooted, you have a handy screenshot tool on your hands, but there’s plenty to keep you busy even if you haven’t take this step.
Verdict:
A superb way of managing your Android device and transferring files in both directions.

AirDroid remove ApMobile?

I have AirDroid and ApMobile on a Galaxy Note GT-N7000. The N7000 is unlocked and has Android vers 4.0.4. AirDroid says it can 'remove' ApMobile but this is contrary to other links.
Is it safe to do this, please? Thanks for help.
