88. Speed Up Music Album Loading on Reboot

After a reboot and you scroll to Music Tab, you have to wait quite a while for all the music files to be loaded. Now you can speed this up by making it load as soon as the phone starts and before reaching the tab. Go to your Windows folder and find the file "AudioManager_Eng.exe" Create a shortcut (.lnk file) of this file and put it in your Windows\StartUp folder.

It was pointed out to me today that the lag I am experieincing with the sense music player is NOT a result of a faulty card or glitch. I was told that I did not need to create a link to the audio manager I needed to find way to stop the pogram from searching the internet to find album art and data for the music it is trying to play.

I had never known this to be an issue in the lag time. When I cut off all data connections a prompt came up that said that connection to the internet was lost and data could not be found - ?!?!? So if I am getting this right the long buffer time IS NOT due to the phone populating the tracks. It is tied to internet connectivity. The solution, in theory, is to disable the prgram from searching for album info. Now, if we could get some help doing this both of our problems would be solved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:

Install resco file explorer, find the file you wish to listen to or whatever mp3 and then long press on it.

Hi,

I'm very new here, and I've not done tweaking like this before, but I've applied several of these with great results. Thanks!

However, I'm having trouble with #49/#60. I first did #49 (in CommManager, replace "MicroSoft Direct Push" with "3G"). This did not replace "Direct Push"; instead it replaced "WiFi"...so I have no WiFi control.

Then I performed #60, to add an 8th line in CommManager. It did this, and now have the 3G control as the last (8th) item on the screen. But now I just have a blank space where the "WiFi" controls used to be -- which is the 5th control item of the screen.

How do I get my WiFi control back? Sorry if this is incompetent, but then it's the best I can do. I felt pretty good, looking up on this website to figure out how to get CAB files on my HD2, since they look like ZIP files to my computer. Also, working with the registry is a bit scary, but I guess it keeps me alert to not make a mistake.

Thanks for any info.

Randy - 3G/WiFi Problem

Don't panic.

Can you uninstall the 3G fix in the App Manager? If not, you can always put it back the way it was by doing a factory reset. You'll have to set up your phone again after that, but it's really not that big of a deal. Sorry I'm a bit of a noob so I've used the brute force factory reset method myself. Maybe there's a cab to put the WiFi back if you search around enough.

Check the 3G fix from this thread.... it doesn't eliminate the WiFi button, no registry editing required. Also, look at the BsB tweaks app, which has many of the registry tweaks you've probably already tried in a nice, tidy app.

Create new String value entries within the 4th key, or folder... and if there are values already pre-existing, then REMOVE them before proceeding...

Create a "Default" string entry, then make the value, "WLAN".

Then create another string entry, and name it, "Execute"... and make the value of that entry, "/Windows/WiFiNetwork.exe".

And now, create ONE MORE string entry called, "ExecuteCommand" (NO SPACES) and leave its value BLANK!

Finally, reboot your device, and there you have it... everything should be in full, working order. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randysgym:
Did it, and it worked. Thanks!

One more thing. Somehow, the HTC_HD2_CommManager_3G.cab seems to leave the "Execute" value of "/Windows/WiFiNetwork.exe" for the 3G command (8th row of the CommManager). I found that when I tapped on the center area of the command box, rather than on the slider bar at the right, I got directed to the WiFi-search-for-network screen, rather than anything to do with 3G.

I looked through the Windows directory and found three 3G related executables to use in place of WiFiNetwork.exe:

3G.exe

3GConnectPPC.exe

3GSyncPPC.exe

I took a studied guess and decided to change the value of HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager/7 from "/Windows/WiFiNetwork.exe" to "/Windows/3G.exe".

My home is out of range for 3G connectivity, so I won't be able to really test it until tomorrow, but when I press the central area of the 3G command box I no longer get a WiFi screen. I don't get any screen. All I get is a quick flicker of the 3G command box, and then the signal-strength bars in the top bar goes through a reset -- like it's trying to find the best signal or something.

Please correct me if I screwed anything up. Thanks for the help.
