To be honest, Chainfire, I'm actually surprised you expected any different from Microsoft. After all, these are the same people who thought it was a jolly spiffing idea to force all Marketplace purchases to install ONLY on the actual device rather than a memory card.

With them taking such a short sighted view of where people install apps, is it really that big a surprise that they take an equally short sighted view on application protection?
[General Topics] Chainfire:
You are of course correct that it's no surprise... But one can hope, right?

I know, I know, it's useless...
[General Topics] FloatingFatMan:
Microsoft have laid a turd in the hand of hope far too many times for me to EVER trust them on anything they say. Once I can afford it, I'm planning on buggering off to Android...
[General Topics] Charles@Kinoma:
That's Kinoma FreePlay. It lets you know if you try to use features that are available in Kinoma Play, like decoders for advanced formats that we have to pay licensing costs for. It has lots of stuff even the paid apps you mentioned don't, including Kinoma Guide (no subscription fees, even though carriers have told us it's worth $3-5/month alone).

Our paid app, Kinoma Play, has a 30-day money back guarantee on the off-chance that you don't love it. Support is free, and we have a bad habit of giving away a ridiculous amount of great new functionality to customers for free. :)

Since I've been pontificating here, isn't it time we nominate & rec app developers ..

for the 1st annual XDA Devvy Awards for outstanding achievement?

I have taken the lead to move along an idea that, turns out, someone posted about in March 2008: the idea of having recognition awards for outstanding achievement in app & rom & skin development at XDA. Now that Android has so rapidly matured to become a major competitive platform to Windows Mobile, iPhone, RIM, the mobile phone app culture has exploded. As such, it's time, I feel, to recognize great achievements here at XDA -- and not next year, but this year.

See this thread and add your nominations in several categories:

NOMINATIONS: 1st Annual XDA Devvy Awards - for Outstanding Achievement

....... thank you .......

some one help me get myfaves on new cm update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Skreacher:
Myfaves for 1.6 is odexed. as far as i know most people really don't care enough to de-odex it and alter code to get it working on non-official builds. Especially now with tmobile's new plans. Most people (at least for me) can get an unlimited plan for the same or not much more making myfaves kinda pointless.
[General Topics] THE-COPS:
Once again, wasn't sure where to post this.

Has anyone got this emulator to run properly on Windows Mobile 6.1 devices? I am trying to get it to work on my Touch Pro 2 but am running into display problems. The OSD that is supposed to show up at the bottom (eg.. keyboard controls & controller pad) doesn't show up. It did once.. but partially and only half of it was showing. When I tried to tap a button on the osd, it somehow jumps to the some screen sitting behind the emulator.. or some other window that is open. Thus I cannot really access the number pad menu to select a game level. If.. and when a game does run, it runs with extreme slow speed. Is TF3D somehow causing this slowdown?

I know Coleco is ancient, but I grew up with a Colecovision and would really enjoy being able to play some of these classics on my TP2. Heck, if the NES & Genesis can play at fast speed, why shouldn't the Coleco work fast? GAPI problems perhaps?
[HD2 General] graemenwallace:
I have a problem where my HD2 does not work properly with my Land Rover Freelander 2 in-built bluetooth car kit.

The HD2 pairs with the car and I can search my phone book, see my last dialled number, I can even dial a number, BUT, the phone does not connect properly - the car radio should cut out and phone audio come through the car speakers, but instead the radio just continues to play. And shortly after the call is connected to the other party the line is terminated.

My Nokia phone works perfectly with my car, but this phone does not. Even my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 did not for properly with the Freelander 2.

I did manage to make one successful call, but after I stopped and restarted the car, the problem returned!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

So, does any one know of a fix? Surely hands free/car kit is a standard?

Help!
[HD2 General] glenner05:
same problem here. i have a bluetooth car stereo. Always worked fine with my previous HTC's. But now with the HD2 i get the exact same problems as you... I think it's software bug. i have rom version 1.43.404.1 NLD

i hope this gets sorted out cause i use bluetooth audio streaming a lot in the car....same for handsfree calling
[HD2 General] zoomee:
Paired it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT on my way to sell my 3GS and recieved a call. Got the same issue as described above - just a bug i presume.
[HD2 General] dickr43:
I'm experiancing similar problems. All works fine (incoming call's or outgoing call's) but they get disconnected randomly it seems. I'm using a JVX NX7000 by the way. No problem with my iPhone. Hope they fix it soon!
[HD2 General] hussan882:
I tested it with my BMW Idrive last night which is notoriously difficult and it worked fine, I was really surprised tbh! But was able to recieve and make calls, the stereo cut out and could see the phone book too. With my N82 i was only ever able to make/receive calls.
[HD2 General] pjmurphy77:
Same problem - Jaguar XF - it docks ok but I have to initiate calls from car (vs phone). Just some weirdness going on...
[HD2 General] Shark_Abuser:
Mercedes brutality

I have a new Mercedes C, and when the HD2 is connected over bluetooth I get an extremely loud, strange ringtone when receiving a call. It is so loud it could really make your shoes go off.

Also it is none of the ringtones available to choose from, inside the phone - it sounds more like a BIOS beep from a PC and hits me while the normal ringtone is playing as well.

It definitely comes from the phone, not from the car stereo. I have not figured out how to resolve this, I think it is outright dangerous for unprepared drivers.
[HD2 General] Armes:
I have a Nissan Pathfinder; it paired ok, and dials from the Pathy without probs. Ringtone is ok too. Sound quality seems better than my old Tytn so all in all v happy.

Doesn't stream music, :( but that's Nissan's fault, not HTC.

Works fine with the Ford BT system in the Ford Focus (2009).

HTC HD2 Pairing with a Freelander 2 - SUCESS!!!

Success!!!

So far so good, I applied a known change to the HD2 registry and I am now making and answering calls without fuss!

Change Registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys

Add the DWORD setting COD=5374476

This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.

Hope this helps everyone.:D

Hello i have same problem with my BMW X5. Can you explain better your steps ?
[HD2 General] MacGyver4321:
Interesting, I have a similar problem with my 2009 BMW 3 I explain here (sorry I posted before discovering this thread) and I'll try your registry tweak.

But you say that it is "a known change" to the HD2, could you tell us where you saw it ? Is there another discussion about the BT stack somewhere or more generaly about the Widcomm implementation in the HD2 ?

The HD2 being so recent and in short supply, I'm a bit surprised something like that is "well known" :confused:

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 General] MacGyver4321:
It works !

graemenwallace, I just tried after applying your tweak and... OMG, this is AWSOME man, it just WORKS ! :eek:

I still just have one gripe though, it seems that the car doesn't always receive the RF level correctly at the first connection. Sometimes it sees the phone as having no carrier at all (no bars in the RX level display), preventing the car to make any calls, but as soon as I receive a call, the level resets to full bars and I can pick the call and make calls myself after that.

When the first call comes in, I can see the display with no bars and a "?" appearing on top of it for a short time before it becomes full bars.

So there is still some compatibility problems, but at least now I can pick-up incoming calls without risking my life.

So I suppose you are a potential life saver then :D

Thanks mate,

Yves.

Bluetooth is working YES with JVC KD-AVX44 ADV49

After the registry tweak from graemenwallace the bluetooth connection is working properly with my car radio (JVC KD-AVX44/KD-ADV49).

The phone functions ok now (incoming & outgoing calls) Also the AD2P connection is super (very good sound)

Also the ID3 tags are functioning (didn't function with the X1 Xperia)

I see the track title now into the JVC display

Skipping etc. all is functioning. I will tell HTC about it because I have a ticket running for this issue. I think they have to solve this issue

Big thanks for this trick
[HD2 General] MacGyver4321:
By doing a little search on the net, it seems like graemenwallace suggested that this problem is not new with smartphones that identify themselves as such.

The tweak above forces the BT stack of the phone to identify itself as a standard phone instead of a smartphone.

What's puzzling is that my BMW handsfree worked with other smartphones so far, including the iphone.

Anyway, it's ok now, but I wonder what bad press this will cause to HTC.

The majority of the users are unaware of this kind of wizardry and this justs adds up to the long list of bugs of the HD2.

When I first got the phone a few days ago I was rapidly convinced to return it immediatly as it's fancy interface wasn't enough to overcome all the shortcomings. It was plain unusable as a business phone.

Now after applying most of the tweaks, it begins to show potential, but HTC really has to work on the problems we can't fix by tweaking the registry.
[HD2 General] Jolig:
I tried this also, but for me it didn't work.

But my situation is a bit different, as I am not able to connect the HD2 through the Sim Access Profile with my car, which is an Audi A6 mit Bluetooth preparation and I have also the Audi rSAP Adaptor installed in the centre arm rest.

My problem is, that I get a connection to the car, but SAP does not activate and I can't get access to my phonebook - so I only have kind of a handsfree profile...

Am I right that you all use the handsfree profile in your cars and no SAP?
[HD2 General] firstandlast:
Does your Ford system have the Bluetooth audio choice?

I get my Ford Focus changed every six months coz i'm a driving instructor and it comes as part of the deal.

On my last Ford Focus my htc tytn 2 connected ok and I could make and receive calls ok.

However, when the new car was delivered the Ford system had bluetooth audio choice and ipod integration which the other one didn't.

Now my htc tytn 2 didn't connect very well at all.

Now with my HD2 it does connect only if I have the bluetooth audio profile selected.

But now the music player keeps appearing and wants to play music all the time. If I pause the music on the phone it just starts replaying.

Anyway I will try the registry tweak in this thread and hopefully that will solve the problem.

Paul.
[HD2 General] andysaf:
I have the same problem. I`ll try to pair my HD2 with MB C-klass using SAP but i can`t get them connected :( it seems like a SAP adaptor can`t activate a PIN input window on HD2 (i guess). With other phones it works perfect (tryed with Nokia 5800, 6500).
[HD2 General] andysaf:
could you pls describe, how did get them paired? when i try to pair them, i see the device`s id, try to "call" it, see pin code and after that i hear the descending tone. and it nothing occurs. SAP is enabled, device is discoverable, what else? Any idea?
[HD2 General] MacGyver4321:
I feel your pain, my wife has a GolfPlus and the rSAP instalation is crap.

It's overly expensive and useless if you don't have one of the few phones compatible with it.

Unfortunately, many customers are falling in this trap, thinking it is a standard handsfree, but it is not, it is a full GSM build-in which only access your phone SIM card to log into the network and download your contacts.

In the case of my wife, the dealer was honest and clearly stated that it was a mistake to order this option.

The only problem is that he had no other alternative than proposing an Parrot retrofit which wasn't really an option for me as it wasn't integrated in the car and certainly not in the navigation system.

But internet is your friend and the solution is quite simple, the Kufatec kit.

This is brilliant, it is a small box that connects to the CAN bus of many german cars and integrates perfectly into existing navigators, it uses the steering wheels command buttons and so on.

It is much better (more functions) than original BT options, is tailored to each brand so that the displays are in the same style as the original ones etc.

More interesting, it is field upgradable (just a laptop with BT) so that it is potentialy compatible with anything existing or not yet.

And it only costs a fraction of this crappy rSAP option.

In your case, the good news is that it can simply replace your actual rSAP kit for a minimal installation fee. (the CAN bus has to be reprogramed however, so professional instalation needed)

There is another solution: to replace the unit you have (it is situated under the driver's seat) by a skoda unit. This unit has the same connector but is simple handsfree instead of rSAP.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] BarryH_GEG:
I'm on TMOUS and this is what I've done to pair with my RRS.

Turn off the data connection

Connect or pair the phone with the car

Make a call (it should go through the car's HU)

While in the call, turn the data connection back on

It works consistently but I have do run through the steps again each time I soft reset the phone. All the RRS functions work the way they're supposed to. Under the WIDCOMM audio settings uncheck "play system sounds on remote hands-free device" or you won't be able to hear Voice Command.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
Hi all,

To connect your phone to the JVC KD-AVX44 Car headunit or similar JVC headunit with integrated Bluetooth.

Change Registry setting to your HD2\Leo phone:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys

Add new DWORD setting called "COD" with decimal value "5374476" (Don't add the quotes).

Soft reset phone.

This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.

After doing the above do this on your phone.

Start->Settings->Menu(Bottom right on Screen)->All Settings-> Select Bluetooth(Yes, if prompted to turn on) Select the JVC Car Head Unit from the list by touching the + next to it, select and hold "Stereo Audio", Select "Properties" and uncheck "Connect seperately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services". Select "Done" then do the same for "Hands-free" Then select Properties on the JVC Head-Unit and check "Connection Authorised" You can Also Enter a nick name for the head-unit if you wish. Select "Done" when finished.

Final part... From your JVC Head Unit go to the Bluetooth Menu. There is a setting somewhere there that says "Connect to Last" or something similar. Set this to "Off" as you do not want it to auto connect. It causes problems with the HTC HD2.

Now to make and receive calls with your JVC Head Unit/ HTC Phone. Turn off Data Communications on your phone then Switch on Bluetooth. From the JVC Head-unit bluetooth menu, connect to your phone. Alway connect to the phone from the headunit. Now you should be able to receive and make calls and audio should go through stereo speakers. After this if Data connection comes back on for itself you should still be able to receive and make calls and audio.

This has worked consistently for me.
[HD2 General] nniicckkss:
I have a JVC BT22 head unit, and I can't currently connect (whereas I could do with no issues on my last phone SE W960i). Will give this a go as this is something that really bugs me with my HD2.

Thanks for the advice.
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
Hi nniicckkss,

Yes do give it a try and post if it has worked for you. I had an HTC Touch Diamond before and had no problems but when I got the HTC HD2 I had many problems. Taking bits and pieces from this and various forums I've managed to come up with the fix I posted above.
[HD2 General] nniicckkss:
OK! :cool:

Initial (time restricted) testing seems to be successful!!

During my lunch break, after going to the shops etc., I just had time to set this up and I called voicemail from my head unit - I saw the screen on my phone go to call mode and the sound came out through the speakers! That's all I have managed to do at the moment though, but it's the first time I have had call sounds from my HD2 coming out through my car speakers, so looking good so far!

I'll have a play and see if it 'works every time'.

I'll assume that the registry mod is important and I'll leave it in place, but I hadn't previously clicked on the properties of each function to make them work independently.

Further tips/clarification, if not obvious to everyone:

You need to delete any previous attempts of pairings from phone and from head unit.

You might need to turn off the bluetooth on the phone to allow you to get to the properties of each feature on the phone as it will not appear while connected to the head unit.

You need to do what's said above, but after you have made the connection, you need to manually go back to the head unit and disconnect from 'phone' and from 'music', so that you can then go back and connect manually.

...well I had to do this anyway!

Thanks again for the tips on this, we're getting somewhere now!
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
Thanks nniicckkss for your feedback, yes you are correct. For all the above to work you will need to delete any previous pairings from your phone and also from the JVC Head-Unit. I'll add these below to my explanation so that people will not have to keep jumping to and from posts. So here goes....

To connect your phone to the JVC KD-AVX44 Car headunit or similar JVC headunit with integrated Bluetooth. Follow the instructions below...

1) You will need to delete any previous attempts of pairings from phone and from head unit. You might need to turn off the bluetooth on the phone to allow you to get to the properties of each feature on the phone as it will not appear while connected to the head unit. After deleting the old pairings, turn on bluetooth on phone and pair the two devices again.

2)You need to do what's said below, but after you have made the connection, you need to manually go back to the head unit and disconnect from 'phone' and from 'music', so that you can then go back and connect manually.

Here's were the work begins

Change Registry setting to your HD2\Leo phone:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sy s

Add a new DWORD setting called "COD" with decimal value "5374476" (Don't add the quotes).

Soft reset phone.

This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.

After doing the above do this on your phone.

Start->Settings->Menu(Bottom right on Screen)->All Settings-> Select Bluetooth(Yes, if prompted to turn on) Select the JVC Car Head Unit from the list by touching the + next to it, select and hold "Stereo Audio", Select "Properties" and uncheck "Connect seperately to Bluetooth hands-free and stereo audio services". Select "Done" then do the same for "Hands-free" Then select Properties on the JVC Head-Unit and check "Connection Authorised" You can Also Enter a nick name for the head-unit if you wish. Select "Done" when finished. After this soft reset phone again.

Final part... From your JVC Head Unit go to the Bluetooth Menu. There is a setting somewhere there that says "Connect to Last" or something similar. Set this to "Off" as you do not want it to auto connect. It causes problems with the HTC HD2.

Now to make and receive calls with your JVC Head Unit/ HTC Phone. Turn off Data Communications on your phone then Switch on Bluetooth. From the JVC Head-unit bluetooth menu, connect to your phone. Always connect to the phone from the headunit and not the other way round. Now you should be able to receive and make calls and audio should go through stereo speakers. After this if Data connection comes back on for itself you should still be able to receive and make calls and audio.
[HD2 General] nniicckkss:
Ongoing successful usage confirmed, though nobody has dialled in to me yet (I'm not very popular)!!

Also confirm the manual connection each time though, from the head unit, but I can live with that as I can finally use my phone in my car again. I did try to connect automatically, but it (phone) doesn't like it.

Thanks for finally providing a solution for me.

:)

Wow this really fixed my problem i been trying to solve in several fora for 5 months now THANKS EGSCHIPP !!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] AvRS:
This worked for me, I can now make calls without turning data off but still have no phonebook or call history which still sucks but at least now I can use my bluetooth without changing my data settings. A question though, does anyone actually know what these changes to the registry actually do or are they just using trial and error to come up with a number that works?

Thanks

Hi lepeux,

Have you tried my procedue above for JVC headunits with integrated Bluetooth. You must follow it exactly as written to achive success. Check my post dated 8th April 2010 01:44 PM
[HD2 General] thewizardhunter:
Hi nniicckkss,

Glad to hear all is working. Yes that's the only downside. You have to connect manually each time from the headunit. Hopefully HTC should produce some sort of update that will fix this issue once and for all.
[HD2 General] DinoZ1:
Not working :-(

Yes you right it connects flawlessly with mine to but same as Miri's Rom, contacts don't show up on navigation screen :confused::(:confused:

I tried this as well:

But address book is still empty :(

Note that everything was working great with Laurentius 6.5 ROM and I kept the same Radio (2.07), must be definitely a registry change from 6.5 to 6.5.x
