Music tab now only playing around 15 seconds of songs

I know I am not the only one here with this as an issue and yes all the songs played on the previous version of the ROM - only difference is the flashing to the May 14 GTX version...

My question is, is this something being worked on and if so do we have an ETA on the fix? Might this be something to do with the player album fix thingy?

Thanks in advance on this one & for putting up with us all in producing this great ROM!

Same as some other people around, i use the last french GTX one (Energy.Leo.29020.Sense2.5.FRA.Cookie.2.0.GTX.May.18) and the battery is going leaked a bit too fast.

But i know i'm using the Radio 2.15.50.14 (no pb with Artemis Rom) so i will try reflashing the same one and if the problem still remain i will try to flash in one of the 2 recommended ones.

I.E. i charged completely my phone this morning at 7H and the battery is at 77% at 11H.

Music Folder

Hi ppl,

I put all my music in one folder (and subfolders) on the SD Card.

Does anybody know how to force Music Tab (Htc Album or AudioManager_Eng) to look for music only in the specified folder?

Is there a tweak to force registry entries in "HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignore" and "...Ignored" to work? I tried every unwanted path under "Ringtones" with no effect.

I deleted "\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng.vol\AudioManager_Eng.vol" many times and the Music Tab keeps playing some navigation sounds and stuff from my SD Card. It does not seem to play "\Windows\Rings" though.

I'm using May.14 29020 sencity build.

I've been looking and searching for 2 days now with no result...

Any help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
sorry, mine shows all 5, maybe try re-flashing the rom again?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] benedict.s:
reflashing would work of course! but if this is a bug, it should be solved some other way other than reflashing!

imagine you lose the tab after you have installed everything you wanted....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] al_the_hell:
freeze

i installed "Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5.Mar.17.7z".

after the first boot the system allways freezes with the htc logo.

what can i do? please help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
surely if it was a bug, everyone would have the same problem, so far, its only you.

are you on the Mar 17 rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
you have got to be kidding me? read the last 2 pages of this thread

FLASH A VALID RADIO!!!! V2.08

its all over this thread
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] viperd:
Come on....a lot of people had the same problem. Before start playing with the flashing....why dont you read all about radio compatibility ? Flash the recommended radio ( even on the first page you can see that ). Hint....2.08.50...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] al_the_hell:
Thank you for your answer!

i don't know how to do that.

but i am gonna search this whole thread to find it.

if i dont have success. i hope you will tell me how to do it.

thanks in advance dude!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
You will need to boot the phone into bootloader (Power the phonoe down, hold down the vol down key, power back on) You will know its in bootloader as its a multi colour screen, make sure you have your usb connected.

The flash the radio the exact same way you flashed the rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Chrisuk80:
When I plug me head phone in and click on FM Radio it opens, in the middle are a circle of dots and then the radio closes :(

the raido i have installed is 2.08

and energy 23544

i downloaded it from this thread but i am confused now that the number do not match, the rar file says energy leo 23544

but at the top it say 23547/21895
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patbol1:
Hi, again me on the road :D

I've flashed with the same radio at 11H and... it's actually 13H45 and only 4% of battery are gone so far.

So i think everything is going back in place.

Conclusion : if you experience some energy leak try to flash with the same rom radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Hmmm... Maybe an interesting solution, got to try it. I must test the 2.10.50.02_2 radio ROM anyway.

But battery consumption generally stabilizes after one or two charge cycles.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
In order to set the specific folder i.e. \Storage Card\Music as unique search location open registry editor and go to

HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config

device_scan_path_path

device_scan_path_path_0

and type in each one the folder you have your music i.e. \Storage Card\Music

Remember that you have to make Sense force update the music and as described in your issue it seems that you know how to do that.

Also it is I think required to restart your device after the registry edits.

If you liked my post press thanks button... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Thanks for Tipp Mr Black'd, I will have to remember to backup these path to add it via XDA_UC after a new flash. If I may add a Quote from another Member there is one more interessting key in case someone wants to exclude instead of include certain Folders. I edited the Quote to shorten it but you can read the original Post from HJ200 here PS: I have not tried this out myself yet. There seems to be reports lower down that it might be cumbersome. So before you go this way test it. Acctualy further research revelead that this might only exclude it in the Media Player but not in the Sense Music Tab. Sorry for the confusion. Follow Mr Black'd instructions above. Seems to be the only way.

Sidenote: If you decide to open the Media Player Library and delete the Unknown Albums all together make sure you dont delete them from the Filesystem. The question comes right after "Are you sure" if you are careless like I was :o you press twice by accident yes and gone they are! :eek: Good luck finding out what Media Player had indexed as Unknown. After all I was not even smart enough to select only Files on the SD Card :rolleyes: So be smarter then I was which should not be too hard. Luckely I am aware of my incompetance and got good backups. lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Hey Swiss420 the quote of yours was post No.2 while the point where I got the info was post No.7 of the same thread and by the same person.

Thank you for the credit however all credit goes to HJ200 ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sugocy:
Is this also possible by creating a text file, write: 28#"\windows\htcactionscreen.exe" and save as .lnk? (To copy it with XDA_UC)

Seems the action screen is a big superstar nowdays. What happened to linking to the program of your choice ? lol...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] koz:
Naw, then you've got too many buttons on the homescreen - some of us love the functionality but also like it cleeaaannn...:cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
A thousand roads lead to Rome. I got right next to the ActionScreen lnk the SMS, GPS, Kamera etc. Icon. I realy dont use the ActionScreen but now it is out of the way and just in case available. ;) The left Softkey I can use for better stuff. Would it be possible to include the Action Screen link in the Startmenu in the next build?

Cannot answer call with Bluetooth headset

Hi all

My bluetooth headset has always worked fine. Recently, I got the problem that I cannot answer a call by pressing the button on the headset. This always worked before. Instead I have to accept the call on the screen. This gives sound in headset but before I would get the sound in the phone instead (useful if I chose not to use headset while it was still connected).

I am not sure if this is a problem that came with 29020 or with my use of PIN code for lockscreen (demanded by exchange security policy (use of activesync)).

I havent been able to disable the PIN code for lockscreen, so I havent tested this... How can this be done by the way?

Any ideas where the problem is?

/Jens
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
I should have a question, please...

Do you mean "each folder and subfolder containing music" or "the root folder of all subfolders containing music" ?

I'm asking his, because having painfully excluded all the folders containg rings, backups containing sounds, etc., I ended up with my Music tab being no more able to browse alltogether the tracks dispatched inside subfolders of my main "Music" folder (there's nothing but subfolders in the main folder itself)... Though it worked OK before I added exclusions.

It now acts as if it couldn't jump from a folder to another if I don't go to the menu to select them.

On the other hand, it never seems to have problems bringing unwanted rings, voice recorder files and so on, to the main list... :rolleyes: This music tab is so capricious... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dr.Franz:
Your experience with this radio I would be interested.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking as soon as I saw "\Software\Microsoft" in the registry key you cited... :D

Anyway, it could always be useful to know, just in case. :)

To avoid the Music tab scanning unwanted folders, you have to specify all of them (I mean, ALL the folders AND their subfolders containing unwanted sound files, and that's quite a boring work) into a collection of values that you'll find under this registry key :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config]

So be careful to backup your registry before flashing ! :D

You'll find all you want there :

- How to tell the Music tab your music is on the SD : values device_scan_path_path, device_scan_path_path_0, etc.

- How to tell it what folders you DON'T want to scan : values ring_tone_path and sd_exclude_path_path_0, sd_exclude_path_path_1, etc. along with their matching sd_exclude_path_type_0, sd_exclude_path_type_1, etc. values.

You'll find more information here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4963262

And yes, unfortunately, you have to create a value for each subfolder. :rolleyes:

P.S. : checking my settings, I think I just found out the reason why the Music tab seems not to connect all my music together. I somewhat forgot to pay attention the meanings of the "_type_n" DWORD values (1 = main memory, 0 = SD card), as it may certainly use the same meanings for the device_scan_path_type_0 value, that I stupidly left to its default "1" value, where I should have changed it for "0", since the only folders I want it to use (i.e. "\MUSIC" and "\My Documents\My Music") are on the SD card.

I'll delete my AudioManager_Eng.vol file and check if it behaves better now (I changed the sd_exclude_path_type_n according to the folders locations too). It's my fault, I should have read more carefully... :rolleyes:

Edit : It worked ! :cool:

It finally collected all my music. And correctly excluded all the garbage. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
People say it produces a buzzing sound while listening to FM radio, that's why I didn't try it yet.

Otherwise, it's known to offer the best GSM (and 3G ?) reception.

I'll tell you how it behaves. :) It can't be worse than 2.15.50.14 anyway ! :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Nooo!!! I have only created a value to the Root folder where many subfolders exist and I force updated the music tab song list and there was no issue. Files that existed in subfolders appeared normally.

However as you already know my friend my device seems to have an opinion of its own in certain Sense issues :D

Maybe it is also rom specific issue...

Remember that I am not using the latest 29020 build but 29018, since I had issues with music files list being updated in latest build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hubbu:
still the music

Well... I tried the sd_exclude_path_path_0 value in the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config] for the root folder of garbage. It didn't work, but.... now, when I know a little more, including this:

I'll give it a try once more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JohnM109R:
Sorry for the late reply friend :) it's not only the Music Logo but favorite tabs and the people tabs as well other tabs too...... it's depressing to see the tabs with these lines across the faces...:(

Just pissed that I can't rememeber if it was like this before when I got the hd2...

Thanks for the encourgment...:)thats not hardware...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hubbu:
Exclude folders in Music Tab

Thanks to information provided above I did some tests and here is, what is working fine for me:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config]

"sd_exclude_path_path_0"="\root_folder_path" (i.e. \media will exclude media folder and all its subfolders)

"sd_exclude_path_type_0"="dword:00000000" ("0" for Storage Card; remember not to write \Storage Card above, but only the path after that: i.e "\My Documents\My Music" instead of "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Music")

"sd_exclude_path_path_1"="\other_folder_path" (for any other folder you want to exclude)

"sd_exclude_path_type_1"="dword:00000000" (if this folder is on the Storage Card)

now here I'm not sure if it does anything, but I used the same way to write

"device_scan_path_path_0"="\path_to_my_music_folder" (without "\Storage Card"; all subfolders are automatically included)

"sd_exclude_path_type_0"=dword:00000000

so far, so good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
The main reason is adding just the root folder isn't enough.

You have to add another one for each subfolder containing garbage... Sad but true. The AudioManager_Eng program isn't build as cleverly as the HTCAlbum one.

The key to the sd_exclude_path_type_n values is just you don't need to hard code the storage card name in the path (the advantage is if you backup this registry keys, you'll be able to use them either on WWE or localized ROMs).

For instance, if your unwated sound files would be inside the \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones folder, containing for instance a \MP3 subfolder, you should add all these keys in the registry (plus other needed ones, of course) :

"sd_exclude_path_path_0" = "\My Documents\My Ringtones"

"sd_exclude_path_path_1" = "\My Documents\My Ringtones\MP3"

"sd_exclude_path_type_0" = DWORD:0

"sd_exclude_path_type_1" = DWORD:0

Or else if you just specify "\My Documents\My Ringtones", then this stupid program will still scan all its subfolders anyway. :D

Edit : we cross-posted. :D

Just a remark about this one :

You should use "device_scan_path_type_0"=dword:00000000 instead.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the value is zero if you don't fill in the right value, meaning the program would use the SD card by default.

The problem about my own settings was the device_scan_path_type_0 value existed already and was set to 1. Or maybe I just misunderstood its meaning and the examples were all giving 1 as a value for this one. :rolleyes:

Finally this morning my phone was dead... No more energy... I try to charge it via USB on my comp and after 3H, only 7% and a burning phone (didn't look before...). So something going wrong.

I turn it OFF, and this time it works but the power consumption after that is really high.

I'm going to flash with 2_12_50_02_2 and i will keep you in touch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I would bet that you are using a Gmail account with IMAP. There is an acknowledged problem on Google's end where the server never disconnects and causes tmail.exe to consume the entire CPU. This makes the device get very hot, and the battery dies rapidly. Google is working on fixing it. I'd this is the case, just switch to using Gmail on the POP3 or exchange servers until it is patched.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hue-chr:
My own experience with ROM 2.15.50.14 and ROM 21916 versus of May: effectively the consumption is high.

I test with ROM 2.12 50.02_2 since yesterday: it seems better

System Hangs on Incoming Call and Connection remains even after hanging up

I am a big Energy ROM fan and have been flashing them on my HD2 for almost a year. When I installed Energy.Leo.29020.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGlass.May.14.7z I started noticing a problem. After an incoming call the system would hand and I could not initiate another call or text. When I checked the status, it would show as though the last call was still connected, with the timer still running. This happens when I have taken a call via bluetooth headset if that helps. I end up having to do a soft reset to initiate another call. PLease help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alpinemobile:
After one year of using other roms, I've decided to try again Energy ROM (my first love).

The reason I switched from energy back then, was the total lack of reliability.

I felt like I could never depend on this ROM. Although very good looking, It froze very frequently, it was full of bugs, newer releases always introduced more bugs and fixed almost none. It always included new, untested buggy features.

Let me tell you that today I was seriously dissapointed again.

Ran task29, flashed recommended radio and downloaded Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity.May.14.7z

Old painful memories came back to me.

0% reliability

0% stability.

I couldn't even open the settings dialogues because I came across empty menus. It's like the menus where invisibile, I could only see the 'close' text at the bottom. It is damn slow (slowest rom i've flashed in the past 12 months). It froze like 3 times in 15minutes, phone froze again when I rejected a call. Then when I tried to lock it, the screen went back to the home page and no hw key worked so I had to take out the battery.

I ran task29 3x times, reflashed recommended radio, reflashed ROM. Same frequent lock ups, same random invisible menus.

Camera app crashed. Videos longer the 15-17min went corrupted without any reason. Audio/video desync. More lock/unlock freezes.

Am I the only one that is so upset that such a good looking rom with such a good software bundle doesn't work at all?

If I'm not the only one that has this problems, why is this buggy rom still released?

As I'm writing this, tried to make a call and now the phone doesn't wake up (lockscreen doesn't show up).

I have flashed 9 different roms (won't give any names) in 12 months and NEVER had such serious issues. Other roms RARELY froze my phone like once or twice a month.

Energy still feels like an adult with the brain of a 5 year old.

Please excuse me if I was too harsh but I couldn't hold it in me anymore. I can't believe how such a popular rom is so bad. Also please excuse my english
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uzi2:
Your experience would appear to be the one out of thousands of satisfied customers.

I can only put it down to pilot error.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alpinemobile:
You may be right. But what could I be doing wrong? I do the exact same steps when flashing other ROMs: task29, flash radio, flash rom, hardreset twice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uzi2:
I never use task29, but I don't see what harm it can do.

Once you've flashed a radio, it will remain. No need to flash it again.

Then just flash ROM and enjoy, no need to hard reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nygmam:
I know it sounds like overkill, but flash the ROM twice, then the radio and see if that helps. I have only had a flashing issue one time, and double flashing the ROM fixed it. don't know why that was, but it worked. I have found these ROMs to be very stable and work better than all the other ROMs I have flashed. I do try new flavors all the time but I always return to this one, although lately I have been running android as my primary ROM and like it very much, but that conversation is for another thread...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hubbu:
Well, there are some rumors, that sometimes re-flashing radio after flashing ROM , does the thing.

@alpinemobile

I am quite a newbie, but what HSPL do you have? I mean, when it's not the ROM itself (it can't be! ask ppl. it's - almost - impossible ;) ) and it's not the radio, then maybe HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
You Traitor Cheating on WM, have you no shame? :D Dont you miss it just a little?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
About the blank menus, there may actually be some problems on localized ROMs (less, if any, on WWE ROMs). I always used to fix them myself, and now NRGZ28 included them in his latest French ROMs. If you're using a localized ROM, then you should consider doing the same for your language (bad MUI files versions, incomplete translations, and so on). I could help you by indicating what files to look for (they're the same as mine for all Western Europe versions, only the 4 digits in the name will change).

I consider quite normal NRGZ28 can't notice all the small problems with localization, while he obviously concentrates on finalizing the WWE ROMs he personnaly uses, while people here from all countries can, and must help.

All freezes problems I encountered came from using CHT 2.0 lockscreen. I disabled it completely and never have freezes again. I don't consider it's an Energy ROM problem, since it's actually a general Co0kie Home Tab problem.

One last casual freeze problem could come from using ChangeScreen to rotate the screen (I prefer to use G-Sensor, as it rotates faster - with the relevant polling interval settings in the registry, of course - and avoids to add another 3rd party program) : you then have to disable the "Mute ring on face down" feature, and you won't crash anymore.

Apart from that... Honestly, I reset my phone only when I have to do so after having tweaked the registry (for instance, when I tried to add aliases to folders in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai] key - for people willing to know, it works to a point : it's OK from the file explorer, but won't work from WM Start menu, so I'm not going on this way :D)...

Else I can use my phone for weeks without resetting. Really. In fact, Windows Mobile is more stable than ever, for me.

The only thing that bothered me recently was Adobe Reader LE, somtimes quitting full screen mode for unknown reasons, and sometimes changing fonts, all that while reading huge (comics ebooks) files... It's clearly an adobe bug, and not the serious kind.

Edit : oh, and BTW, I never did a task29 on the HD2 yet. :D Just flash, hard reset, start, install my CABs, and there you go. ;)
