I plugged a basic Sony headset. I didn't try yet the one in the box.

Peio64 ? With a name like that, you are from Euskadi ?:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Peio64:
(edited sry double post)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Peio64:
Haha yes, I probably have the only diamond in the region :)

So you use your sony headset with an adaptor, can you compare with the crappy htc one?

Other question: I found the volume really too loud, I usually listen to music at work, and even with 1 volume bar (hard to set with the finger by the way), I think it's too strong. Does the minimal volume change with other handsets?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
Can you please concretize what you mean by "crappy htc"? I have a SE and the same headset as Peio64. And. I am quite happy with it. Is the htc worse?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Peio64:
When I say "crappy" I mean

- no bass

- bad "isolation" (everyone around can hear what you're listening)

It's about the headset that comes in the box, don't know about the RC E100, anyway I will use the RCE100 remote with the HPM-75 intras, the lenght of the wire will be perfect
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Dick Starbuck:
Has anyone has tried the RC E100 with a hermes?

What other devices (besides the Tytyn II and Diamond) can confirm?

Does anyone know the difference between the two (RC E100 and RC W100)?

I tried the RC W100 with my hermes ( with a few different ROMs) with no luck...

Is it true you can only control audio manager and WMP?

Can anyone look over the "driver cab" to see if other players might be possible?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
Hi Guys,

Can someone, anyone, please confirm the difference between using the supplied headphones that come with the HRC diamond which are

a) bass-less (and I already know about the Audio booster bug - I mean they still dont have much bass when you have worked around that bug)

b) not isolated well (as pointed out above)

and compare with using a decent set of 3.5mm headphones that are connected with the RC E100 or with one of those USB to 3.5mm adapters that you can get from ebay.

Does better headphones = lots more bass? The supplied headphones just don't seem to push out much but I wonder how much of a role the actual diamond plays in this....

Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm this.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] horstborsch:
I´m a little bit confused, I´m looking for a shop to buy it from and some shops add "black" in their descriptions and some pics show a darker version from the RC E100?! Is it only because thei mean the earpieces are black and some of the pic are so crappy that it only seems to be a black frontplate?!

Does anyone knows if there are really two versions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
So - finally got my RC E100 as well. Works great (even the bass is fine), but well - I think I have shabby ears...

However: the volume does not change as long as the Diamond is locked. Is there any option in the registry I have to change?

P.S.: The volume can neither be changed by the volume buttons at the side of the Diamond (up,down buttons) nor by the RC E100 while it it locked. Both is annoying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
You'll have to go into settings and click on the 'Lock' icon and set your diamond buttons to not lock when the device is in standby mode. But this is annoying too. When you're device is actually 'locked', I'm not sure if there is a solution..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] horstborsch:
On some pictures are shwon different mini USB connectors, can someone confirm that for example the Touch and the Diamond have exactely the same mini usb jack?

Beacause i bought the RC E100 on ebay (didn´t arrived yet) and the description said for Touch Dual.

On the Pictures on the HTC homepage they show alway another mini usb jack with two edges and my diamond has one straight border on the right side.

I also want to buy a car charger (CC C100) from Touch.

So are the HTC mini USB connectors the same?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
... well... I think I found the option you ment, but this does not help at all!

The only thing this induce is, that if I press any hard key while it is in standby, the screen goes on. But this does not affect the locking =(

Strange... but might it be due to the Autolock Registry Tweak I have applied?

Is there a way to find out:

a) which buttons are the louder/quiter buttons in the registry?

b) exclude specific buttons from locking?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Peio64:
I ordered it too with the htc pouch, but I have to wait because the pouch isn't available :(

About the volume control: Is it more precise than the diamond's volume key? I mean can you change 1 bar by 1 bar, or does it change 3 bars by clicking once?

(sorry for my english)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
I think the volume control of the RC E100 is identical to the up/down keys (volume control of the diamond). So: no - also only 3-5 bar jumps. Annoying....

AND: the mute button on the RC E100 does not work as well. Hopefully HTC will release a new driver.

Btw: after installing SWS POW I got fabulous music quality! I can not tweak, change or anything in the SWS POW menu (does not find the HW Driver - can someone post it?). But it is fine, as the music quality is now mush better then before.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
Actually I think you're right, that's your problem.

Look, it is of course personal preference, but by putting the device in standby, I have never found a need to 'lock' the device at all, therefore, the buttons on my RC E100 are always working OK... The only problem is I cant use them with CorePlayer! :(

I might try and install one of the drivers from the CD and see what happens (if anyone else wants to try - run the installer, you'll get an error, but then check C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\HTC Apps and you'll find the cab files).

Let me know if anyone else has a go otherwise I'll post my results when I've had look myself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
Maybe you have a different driver software version on the diamond, but:

a) the idea behind locking is avoiding to dial accidentally a number (e.g. while in your pocket) and not to be receivable during this time. So I really want and need this ability from my phone. BTW: tuning the auto-lock function off is not the point. The RC E100 should change the system sound also if it is locked - as all the other buttons do.

b) standby mode: how you activate it, and do we talk about the same thing?

I can only enter the standby mode by pressing the On/Off button shortly. But: this only turns the display off. Without the locking enabled, I can make calls accidentally!

c) the core player is the problem: Pocket-Player changes his own volume, this can be programmed to be tunable by the RC E100. That is the way it should work. Here HTC has to do its homework... (besides the horrible cover flow bugs and 3-4 min. stuttering...)

Well I tried to so, and all I found in the mentioned directory is a backup cab file:

Diamond_BackupTool_6.2_HTC_GER_20080522.cab

Would you mind posting the new driver?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
For me when I put the device in standby the buttons are also LOCKED. If you go into Start -> Settings -> System -> Key Lock' then choose 'Lock All buttons except power button' then you will not be making accidental calls when the diamond is in your pocket, but your volume control on RCe100 will still be working!

But the play and FF/RW buttons will not work with CorePlayer. (But we already talked about that).

Anyway, I could not find the 'Diamond backup' you talked about above in the HTC Apps directory. So anyway I installed the first driver I saw in the folder (as I did not know which was the correct one) and now it has ruined my sound. My sound on my diamond is now NOT WORKING AT ALL!!!

:mad: :( :mad:

I have to do a hard reset as I cannot find the driver to remove it....

P.S. The 3-4 minute stuttering is also happening with CorePlayer too!!!! It is a Windows Mobile problem!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
Hm... thanks for this information: now all is fine for me. But strange: for me the Play/Pause and FF/RW- buttons are working, and finally the volume, too. I would be fully happy, except with the stuttering, if one could tell me how to tune the volume more accurately (not in 5 bar steps) by the remote or by the side buttons.

I do not think this stuttering is due to Windows Mobile. In Pocket Player it does not occur AND I can use the equalizer! More over I can even manipulate the volume more accurately! Also I do not have any bugs with covers as well... A pitty, HTC did such a bad job on their player...

Well - that happened to me when I tried to install The SRS WOW stuff. But after forcing the SRS Wow driver to work in the registry, I got the audio back. Nevertheless, no audio booster anymore, but that is fine for me, as I never liked it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] n3p3nth3:
A quick question for those with RC E-100:

Does the music control on the E100 work with Mortplayer? Or any other music player than the one in TouchFlo3D?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
I only tried it with the trail of PocketPlayer - and: the buttons are addressable to the RC E100, but the standard player always was started!

In other words: Other players will work, but the remote always invoke the standard player as long you run TF3D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] n3p3nth3:
Thanks for the reply, but I must say I don't understand fully, what exactly do you mean by "the buttons are addressable to the RC E100"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] informatico:
Hi Peio

i had a p1i too what a coincidence

i really miss the long battery life and great sound quality of se

if you try your to mix rc e100 with hpm 75 can you please tell me how is comparing to p1i???

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] basthet:
In PocketPlayer, you can select an action (e.g.: play) and assign a button of the remote to it.

But: If you have addressed play, to the 'RCe100' Play button. Pressing it will start the song, and the TF3D player as well.

If you turn off TF3D all works fine for me.

Hope now it is more clear... sorry for my bad English.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] n3p3nth3:
Thank you basthet for clarifying!

Hm, from the sound of it, I might give this remote a try!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] mefi:
thx for the hint with order-bulk!

i got my today (after 2weeks delivery ;)

but no problem regarding the price (13.28EUR incl. insurance and shipping costs)

the remote works perfectly for me with the integrated TD audio players (tf3d and fm radio).

even with the included headphone-set the sound is quite good but uncomfortable to use after a while.

cant wait to test with my sennheiser cx 500 later :D

thx,

mefi
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] noxide:
Got mine delivered from order-bulk yesterday.. took about 10 days :-)

works perfectly for me as well with my sony e71 earbuds.. however i've noticed that once the phone locks itself (as opposed to just going into standby) the volume buttons don't work, but the other buttons do..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] pathologo:
I got mine today.

When I press a button on my RC E100, CorePlayer doesn't react BUT Windows Media starts!

Of course I tried to assign the buttons in CorePlayer but the hotkeys dialog of CorePlayer is only showing "Press the button you want to assign!".

Seems that PocketPlayer can recognize the buttons of the remote control but CorePlayer cannot.

I managed to deactivate the remote control plugin for Windows Media (in registry) BUT Windows Media is still started whenever I press a button on the remote control!

I don't use TF3D.

When I activate TF3D the volume buttons of the remote control work in CorePlayer but all the other buttons only work in TF3D player.

Windows Media is not started by any button when TF3D is active.

I bet CorePlayer is able to support ALL remote control buttons but this has to be programmed by CoreCodec, Inc.!

basthet, could you please make sure that you really can assign ALL buttons of the remote control to PocketPlayer functions? Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] benih007:
I noticed you have the O2 XDA Ignito, me too. In the box I got the wired remote (RC-W100) a set of headphones and a car charger. Did you not get any of this?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] MasK:
Hi guys, I've got 2 questions if anyone can help me with:

1) Does this work on PocketMusic? I would like to map all RC buttons to it.

2) I am running TF3D, BUT without the music tab. Do you think pressing the RC buttons will activate the music of the audioManager and play in the background? I really don't wanna use it.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Jorlin:
I am using the RC 100 and I am experiencing that the FM Radio volume level is per se less than the TF3D media player volume level. This cannot be compensated by turning up the system volume.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any workaround?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] pathologo:
Read the whole thread, it answers all your questions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Jorlin:
Do you mean me?

No it does not...

If you compare the volume level (same system volume) of the FM radio with the media player, the fm radio volume level is lower... and even if you set the system volume level to the max, it still is not sufficient in some noisy areas...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] pathologo:
That's absolutely typical for radios and it's been like that for 50+ years now?

The radio in the Diamond is in no way a digital one, but a traditional one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] WizP:
Folks,

this is a "way-out-there" question. If the E100 buttons are able to be mapped in the various media players then is it also possible that they can be mapped in some games that require hardware buttons? I.e. Worm World Party. If anyone could try this and give some feedback that would be great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] pathologo:
To be able to play Worms on your Diamond properly with hardware buttons you can use a savegame found somewhere in the Diamond forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] WizP:
Yep I read that post, thats what got me thinking about the E100 for other games/apps.

I doubt if its possible if coreplayer won't map the buttons, but worth a try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] pathologo:
Yes, it is possible, someone in this thread mapped the buttons to PocketPlayer functions.

But I don't know if this is really true or if he can really map all remote buttons.

I asked him, previous page, but he didn't answer, yet.

Of course the lazy folks from CorePlayer didn't do anything, yet, as usual.

They always move very slowly, it's a shame.

They already know about several bugs with CorePlayer on Diamond since a few months, but not even a bugfix release is out, yet!

Maybe you also wanna try if you can map all remote controller buttons to PocketPlayer functions??

I wanted to try that, too, but I hadn't much time these days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ghostalker:
Any update on this one? Would like to know as well if there is a way to map the buttons to coreplayer.

Also, is there a way to make the coreplayer (or any other player for that matter) the standard player of the device instead of windows media when touch3d is deactivated?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] fards:
thought I'd chip in and let everyone know that I've got all the E100 buttons working on my athena using pocket player.

It was this thread that put me onto using that prog so thanks!

Initially it wasn't having any of it, and I'd got to the stage that the thread seems to have stalled at. ie I could use the volume buttons and pressing the play didn't start WMP but didn't add anything else.

So I started looking for other options, one of the WM adapter plugin controls in Pocket Player deals with the HTC WMP Plugin so I found a copy and installed it. Its the version attached.

and lo after a softreset following the install, as soon as I start pocket player it works flawlessly!

:hurrah! and thanks for everyones contribution to this thread which got me trying pocket player out.

If it works for anyone else then please update the thread on the conduits forum.

Oh BTW my WM plugin setting is Pocket player are:

tick everything except

HTC WMP today plug-in (first of the load wmp plugins)

HTC key mapping UI plugin

all the back/next=rewind/ffwd

Media information

Hope this helps someone else out..

Oh btw the pocketplayer diamond skin from mylostblog looks really good in 96dpi realvga on my athena :D

great piece of hardware!

been using it for a couple of weeks now.

only issue is it went "dead" couple of days ago. the phone does not recognise the hardware as a handsfree. I don't get the icon. i tried with two others and the phone recognise these as a headphone. when i soft reset it starts with "the rainbow" screen when the headset is connected. tried a hard reset.. same thing so ordered a new one and crossing my fingers;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] frewys:
interesting!

Just had my second handset broken in the same way as before..

I think the issue is when i talk in the headset and the phone is drained on power and turn off. anyone else had this experience? anyone has a idea about it cause HTC Europe seems kinda stunned which sucks:(

Regards

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] no0ne:
thats really interesting! the same thing happend to me a while ago - I heard music on the headset, a call came in and i was answering it with the buttong on the remote control. finished the call and the music started again (which was interrupted on the call). after that i tried to change to another song with the remote control and it went dead. pluged it out and in again and no more headset beeing recognized from the phone. thats really sucks if that happens to more people...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] frewys:
Good to know I'm not alone anyway.

I gave up last week and went blue tooth.

HBH-DS205

its a Sony Ericsson heads set.. trying to work out the best setting for it.. so far I'm really impressed with battery time. just loaded it in Friday and haven't charged it since. the real test will be working hours today:)

I'm not completely satisfied with sound Q so far..

interesting to see how phone battery is affected to.

Using this method, I have RCE100 working with Pocketplayer on my diamond. one slight issue tho. Forward /back buttons only ff/rew tey do not skip tracks.

power saving / locking

Hey all who bought or want to buy this gr8 remote control.

I somewhere read about mort saver, to power off the device(mine is a htc touch pro) or only display after using buttons from the remote, but it did not work for me!

after some time of listening to the radio the mort saver application shuts down and than when pressing a remote button leaves the device powered on till you power saving settings apply.

But after hours of searching the web i found THE application for powering down the device, IDEAL for fm radio usage!!:

Power countdown.

Usage:

1. First start FM radio

2. start the application( i used aebuttonplus, when i press and hold the volume down key of the phone, it starts automatically)

That's it.

Now when you press a button on the remote the screen starts, sometimes you can see the action you activated (volume change, or frequency change) after that you get a 5 seconds countdown option, when not cancelling the countdown your device will... POWER OFF(=standby) cancelling is done by pressing two keys on the screen!!

I added the zipfile which i downloaded from:

http://www.elevatedstudios.com/pocket/PowerCountNow.zip

You can see more about this great tool when you open:

http://www.elevatedstudios.com/pocket

I hope i can help you with this!!

In this way i can help others, normally others helped me in this forum!!

Problems with RC E100

Has anyone seen this....

I got my E100 2 days ago and was very happy. Remote worked and sounded great. Day 3, I plug it in and the TV out screen pops up and my Touch Pro goes onto landscape mode. after plugging and unplugging it a couple of times I can get it to work, but less than 5 minutes into using it the remote stops working and when I look at my phone the TV out screen is in the forground.

Any Ideas?

Has anyone tried this RC-W100 from Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Remote-Control-...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

I like the slimmer black look, not to mention the cheaper price. But am afraid of the obvious problem that it is a cheap chinese knockoff that may not be fully compatible.

Anyone?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dovestar:
For all the MortPlayer fans out there I thought I should share this...

I've found a plugin based on the Pocket Player one that was poster here but adapted for MortPlayer here: MP_HTCWMPPlug_061031.CAB. It does work although there is a major problem; each press on the remote does what it should in MortPlayer but also loads WMP which then needs to be closed before MortPlayer will accept another command. Does anyone know how I can stop WMP using the remote all together? I noticed a post earlier on where someone had deactivated the WMP plugin in the registry but didn't say how.

BTW: I'm on a Touch Diamond 2.
