Hey everyone

I need some help with my XDA.

I can no longer play wma files as ringtones. I could a few days ago.

Im a registered user of PocketZenPhone and I used to have different wma ringtones on different profiles.

Now none can be played.

If I use Pocket Music I can play .wma files but if I go to "Settings --> Sounds & Notifications --> Notifications" and select any wma file, even the build in ones and press play I hear nothing. The strange thing is that I can't even leave the "Notifications" menu.

Each time I press Ok it returns me to "Incoming Ringtone" I have to force to go to Today screen to leave this menu. If I select wav file for ringtone its played OK.

I checked out the forums and the net and found some references to Windows Media Player file associations.

I removed all audio progs and even removed any registry key concerning wma files. I created new association with Media Player but still no ringtones.

If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player does nothing or most of the times it gives me the following error:

X in red circle

"Windows Media Player cannot play this file

because the required codec is not installed.

Try using Media Player 9 series or later to

copy the file from your computer to your

device again"

What the hell is that? Media Player version is 9 built 14053.

All my ringtones were and are in the \Windows\Rings directory

Registry looks OK

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wma only has a (Default) String value of WMAFile

and

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAfile has association with mwplayer.

Any suggestions.

P.S. Sorry for the big post. just tryed to give as much info as possible.

Wma ??

Does anyone has or had similar problem that can help?
[General Topics] gotan:
i got that problem..

i got that problem too.. mine i uninstalled pocket music.. then it went fine.. i guess all your wma files was running in pocket music.. that it won't play with windows media.. that i didn't get.. coz if a file is associated it still should and can play.. try it if it works...
[General Topics] maggel:
You are right wma files were played by Pocket Music but not only did I remove the association and unistalled it but also restored association to Windows Media Player. Still no joy though. :cry:
[General Topics] Rayan:
Same problem here!

Well, sort of... The thing is that SOME .wma or midi files don't work as ringtones anymore but some others do.

I also use PocketZenPhone.

Weird...
[General Topics] maggel:
Media Player error reproducing wma files.

Can anybody more experienced with XDAs help us here. The Media Player error when playing wma files from a file manager can be replicated by anyone here?

The firt one plays but the subsequent ones produce the foll. error:

X in red circle, and,

"Windows Media Player cannot play this file

because the required codec is not installed.

Try using Media Player 9 series or later to

copy the file from your computer to your

device again".

Is sometheing wrong with Media Player installation?
[General Topics] davidleecpowell:
file association

The key is making sure that the .wma is associated with windows media player. you have to go into the application and un/select .wma to default to windows media player. you can also do this with a tweak program, but its best to do it within the actual applications. otherwise, you will hear either nothing or a warning beep in place of the selected file. This will also hold true for any ringtone program you may have.
[General Topics] Timmeh:
I just got this problem too. Tried to open a file through explorer and nothing is set as the defult player for wma files. Any ideas how to set them back to windows media player? Is there a simple reg key that can be changed?

Edit: I installed pocket tweak, but when I go to choose a program it starts in my documents with no way to go back up a level to get to the windows folder (where mplaer.exe is).

Edit 2: I did a soft reset and ringtones worked again. How strange.
[General Topics] maggel:
Media Player error message on wma lpayback

Well "davidleecpowell" if you read my firts post you will see that not only have I removed association from oher audio player but also completely removed the software except media player. Also re assigned association with Media Player but still no ringtones.

If I tap a wma file from file manager the first time it starts WM Player and the file is being played OK but if I select a second or third etc the media Player gives me the following error:

X in red circle

"Windows Media Player cannot play this file

because the required codec is not installed.

Try using Media Player 9 series or later to

copy the file from your computer to your

device again"

Its very strange indeed and the last thing want to do is YET ANOTHER HARD RESET.

Suggestions anyone?

I seen a few posts about doing it with INC3PTiON but INC3PTiON_v1.zip is no were to be found. I would think there would be a more easy way to do this.

This should be in General not Dev.

Go find any one of the CWM flashable Gingerbread Rom's that exist and get a working downloadable... Nardrom or whatever the others are (search it out in the Everything Captivate Glide thread)

Flash it, reboot

use odin to go back to stock

get stock from samfirmware.com..

So I donwloaded the Nardrom with 0.2 and 0.4

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpablow:
Hi, I have a lot of questions about Android Filesystem, ROM and recovery, i read a lot on internet but i couldn´t understand everything, I appreciate if someone take a little time to teach me the following questions:

These are the partitions I read there are on Android:

/boot

/system

/data

/recovery

/cache

so my first question:

1) why i cannot see on ES File Explorer or Link2SD, recovery partition? where is it?

When i wanted to enter into recovery automatically my phone was restored to the manufacturer status, and no menu was showed, so I have two more questions:

2) Does recovery restore Data and System partition or only clear Data partition and system is not changed?

3) If I open 'ROM Manager' and click on 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery', will I have the famous menu to save a copy of my actual ROM?

In case i want to learn more about customs ROM,

4) Why everybody talk about to install it on SD? To flash a new ROM do not format the internal memory, I mean the actual partitions system, data, etc...?

5) Is there any way to change the size of these partitions?

from already thank you very much!! :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kadin:
[Q] Do you still follow a specific "charging" process when you get a new phone?

So like many of you, I'm on who knows what number phone now. 15...20..25? Yeah no clue. But once again, I find myself wondering if I should go through some 'breaking in' process with my battery like I did with past phones.

I typically would charge the battery to 100% as soon as I got it, then let it run completely down until it turns itself off. Then I'd fully charge it and usually use it to maybe 40-50% before charging it up. So usually every night as I don't use it a ton during the day. Then I'd do a full discharge maybe one a month or every 6 weeks or so.

Does anyone still follow a process like this on a pretty consistent basis or have you decided to just charge it when you feel like it and stop worrying about it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] _eroz:
Batteries have gotten smarter. No longer necessary to follow the rules of yesteryear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Just completely charge them and run them down to 7% to 5% (or a little lower) for a few cycles to begin with and it should all be good. As mentioned, it might not even be needed anymore but I do it just to be on the safe side. There is no need for calibration apps at all.

Hi Guys,

Have any of you been able to successfully swipe a card with the HP touchpad and square card reader?

If so any tricks and what software version were you on? Any information about this would be awesome.

Thanks!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upsmanraz:
I don't have square, but PayPal card reader works perfectly. I can remember what my signature says, but I'm on cm9 nightly.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
do you still have your touchpad? and if so, does it work with cm10? does it only work with manual input of cc # or swiping as well?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upsmanraz:
I havent tried with cm10. I do still have my touchpad, but ive given it over to my 2 year old for the learning games and puzzles. The swiping did work with cm9 i do remember that. Do you have the reader with the black or white bands on the plug? The first one I had with the black bands worked on cm9 and also with my Sensation, but didn't work on my Galaxy Note 2. Paypal sent me the reader with the white bands and that works. It could also be the black bands only work with ICS, and the white with JB.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanisdragon:
How did you get Paypal Here installed on the Touchpad? When I open the app in Google Play it says it's not compatible with this device and offers no installation button. Searching online shows Paypal Here has never supported tablets on Android. More importantly, CyanogenMod on touchpad has never supported the mic pin on the headset jack, which is why square reader won't work with it. Paypal reader should have the same problem.

Hello,

I'm kind of new to these launchers. Just got Nova and wanted to maybe hear from some of those who may have used it a bit longer on their HTC one.

Since installing nova, Have you seen changes in

1) Battery life

2) Camera

I was curious to wether or not sense 5 has anything to do with the quality of the photos of the ultra pixel camera

Thanks yall

The launcher doesn't get rid of sense and it doesn't effect the camera.

Hmm, the 250 is the one that's supposed to have problems with audio quality according to BT, so I'm slightly confused!

Hi,

There is a topic at PocketPC Dubai (under "Jabra BT800 and PDA2k") and the experiences of various people over there are not that encouraging. I myself found the statement: "spoke to the technical guys there and they said that Jabra has told them clearly that the BT800's caller ID function will never work with any PPCPE" kinda sad news.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ozymandias:
I nearly bought one of these until I read a load of customer reviews saying how bad the sound was and that it wasn't loud enough. In the end I bought the Cardo Scala 500.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] soundguy:
Not a good experience. Range of about 2 metres (as long as it's line of sight) before the crackles start. Ok if you are calling someone, but takes 3 seconds or so to realise that youre recieving a call. Displays the callers number, so it conveniently tells you whos call you're about to miss because the pickup button works when it feels like it! (picked up 1 call in 4 today). When it does pick up a call it takes 5-6 seconds before you can hear each other

It's off back to the shop tomorrow. even the O2 Blue I sent back was better than this.....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ozymandias:
I have been trying a few different headsets.

I am still using my Cardo Scala 500 which overall seems to work the best.

Best sound quality so far for me is Cardo Scala 500. This is also the loudest headset I have ever tried. On max setting it is actually too loud.

Best reported sound quality for person on other end is Motorola HS810.

Best connection in terms of range, pairing, reacquisition of signal is Scala 500.

Most reliable in terms of controls and function actually working was Southwing NeoVoice USB. The functions like pickup, hang up, transfer to headset, transfer to phone, readial etc ALWAYS worked, but the controls are fiddly cos you have to do everything using the little multifunction wheel.

Southwing was cool cos you could charge it from a USB port.

Motorola HS810 will also do this if you can find the right cables but Motorola don't tell you this.

Scala is very cool because it comes with some nice accessories like a neck lanyard, carry clip and a fitting that allows you to attach it to your glasses instead of hooking it over your ear.

In the next few days I should be getting my hands on a SonyErricson HBH-660.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Iansjones:
Hi, Just a quickie about the Cardo Scala 500 does this stop the echoing you sometimes get with some headsets..

Cheers

Ian
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ozymandias:
I have not experienced any echo on the Scala so far.

There's some static from time to time but you have to expect that with any bluetooth audio.

Generally the sound is crisp and clear at my end and I have had the occasional complaint from other people that I sound like I'm in a tunnel or "tinny".

On some occasions there is just a lot of interference from something (it's always hard to tell what) which makes it hard for the other person to hear me, but even if there is static on the headset I never have difficulty hearing them.

As with any of these things "your mileage may vary".

I recommend that you try one by buying it from a website like expansys and treat it like a two week free trial as you can always send things back under the distance selling act as long as you keep them in good condition and retain all packaging.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Yung:
I have the BT800, and the called ID feature works perfectly. It came with 3 chargers: USB, AC, and DC (car). It also came with a belt pouch. I haven't had any complaints from anyone about sound quality. It also works well when you dial out, and the volume is fine, sometimes even a little too loud. Pairing was easy, and the MDAIII picked it up easily.

Now for the negatives. When my MDAIII is in standby mode, and a call comes in, the headset and caller ID usually won't register until the 2nd or 3rd call or so, about 3 seconds. Once it does, sometimes it has a hard time answering the call when I press the answer button, and you can't hear anything for a second or 2. The static varies from moderate to none, but still audible even with static.

All in all, I would say that it is a decent headset. I am pleased with it. I wish that it was easier in answer mode, but I understand that these things aren't perfect. I got mine on Ebay for US$85.30 after shipping.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Mr_Gadget:
Hi All,

Used the BT800 with my IIs and it paired and worked well. CallerID functioned as per advertised. Ringtones and Vibra alert were also interesting. The only thing that I didn't like about it was it's size, so I'm back to using my Jabra BT250/FS258....Jabra hurry up and release the BT500 in Australia would ya?! :)

Jabra BT250 & XDA IIs

Hi there, read with interest all your comments on bluetooth performance. Is there actually anyone out there with a descent performance from the Jabra 250 and an XDA IIS. All I get is SERIOUS crackle and very poor comms quality for the other listener. This headset worked fine on my Nokia but I cannot get anything with the XDA IIs! Any thoughts / comments welcome.

"I have trouble answering an incoming call from the headset. Has anyone had this trouble?"

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] jdee246:
Quite a few people seem to be saying that Caller ID "works perfectly".

I have to totally disagree with that. It only shows the number that is calling you, not the name listed in your Contacts. Thats pants!

Remember Xda1 early roms that wouldn't show the name in incoming text messages, only the number? Well for me this is worse as I get far more voice calls than texts.
