I've contacted PocketMusic Player developer and received this answer:

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback!

The problem is known to us. It exists on both HTC Touch Diamond and HTC HD2 because HTC did tight integration between AVRCP bluetooth driver and their Touch Flo3D music player. The driver forcefully starts the TF3D player each time any command is received from bluetooth headset. And the control events are sent directly to their player.

We have invested a lot of effort trying to develop some workaround for that issue, but did not find any really usable solution yet. We will continue our tries, but due to the closed nature of HTC's software we can't be sure if it is possible at all.

-----

Best regards,

PocketMind Support Team

That is very bad...

HTC Sense should be as open as Android!

Then developer will be able integrate their own programs.

Otherwise HTC HD2 built-in software - is a useless crap.

They should release some kind of API for this HTC Sense (TouchFlo)

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try it, but again I need to accept some restrictions (like slide & unlock button as you mentioned), and I really hate restrictions :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nheryvra:
Oh so that what it was, thanks for the tip ! It does work now although holding the next or prev handset key won't forward or rewind in the song as it does with the built in player.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
Yeah, I know. But Pocket Player is going to update the plugin in a week or so. The update will fix that problem. But still Pocket Player is the only player that works with the headset (besides the Manila Player). By the way, if you want the screen to stay off when you adjust the volume with volume buttons on the device, put Pocket Player in background. That way the screen stays off when you adjust the volume or push play/pause or last/next buttons on the headset.

I played a lot with that freaking thing to figure that out, you know :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
lutanica, will it be work fine with the middle button on my handsfree " Accept / Cancel incoming call " ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
yeah, it will. I checked that today.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
Very strange... I followed your manual and NEXT/BACK buttons don't work :confused:

But "Play/Stop" button works great...

What might be incorrect ? My Pocket Player version is 4.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
Should I also Check "Intercept/Override WMP" and "Windows Media Player Mobile A2DP Plugin", or only "HTC WMP Control Plug-in" ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
Anyway... doesn't work.. :( I tried even PocketPlayer 4.1, there was WMP plugin adapter already. Configured it like you said... and from my Handsfree works only middle button (play/pause/call)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
By the way, when you are inside the plugin and configuring it, you have to check "Close WMP before loading" and "Intercept/override WMP" as well. Try that...

One more thing. Pocket Player can be very very stubborn. Remember, when you change the options in Advanced tab, they won't do whatever they say they'll do. So do not change the options in the Advanced tap. If the handset still won't work, uninstall Pocket Player and delete all of its registry. (use resco registry explorer and search for Pocket only. When it finds the registries, make sure that the found registry is a registry of Pocket Player and nothing else). After you have deleted the registry, install the program again. And ONLY do what I have described above and nothing more.

I have done these things like 1000000 times. So trust me in this one.

Of course you have to check "HTC Control Plug-in". Didn't I say that? Without that it won't work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arcades:
Thanks for explaining hints to me... However I already don't find this as a good idea. With "Sound Booster" enabled in WMP I don't see difference in sound quality between WMP and Pocket Player. I'll probably wait when there will be more simple solution, without messing into registry and drivers. :)[

I'm interested in such thing: is there a way to create a plugin/driver that will support any external media player ? If yes, I might be interested in writing it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
It really makes a difference when both of the equalizers combine (I mean equalizers of Pocket Player and Boost Manager. No WMP here at all.) It makes the sound clearer with more bass. Anyway, you don't need to mess with your registry. It's just deleting the registry tracks of Pocket Player. No messing with it or messing with any drivers.

Anyhow, what I described is for getting the headset buttons to work. And Sound Booster doesn't have anything to do with WMP. The WMP-plugin makes Pocket Player to pretend like it's WMP so the headset buttons work. As simple as that. No hocus pocus ;)

I don't know much about that kind of driver so ...:)

Charge Light Stays on even after you pull the Plug... and its not another notification warning..

Anyone have this happen? this happens Daily for me and the only way to clear it is to reboot the phone..

.. but when its charging over night while plugged in the wall or usb, it stays green in the morning after I disconnect it and walk away.. and only the reboot clears it.. I had the Hero 1 month today....but I still love this thing..

this has been going on since day one.. and I have even ran the RUU and reloaded the phone from scratch.. and it still does it.. the strange part is that it slows down like its running extra cycles or something.. until I reboot , then the lite goes out and all is well again..

My wifes Hero doesnt do this..

Is Mine bad?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I have been doing a lot of looking around in the LED stuff while attempting to play with a new app that I am writing. There is a file that gets either a 1 or 0 depending on if that light is on or off.

It COULD be a hardware thing, software seems unlikly (theoretically ALL the heros have the same software, but could have different/messed up hardware.)

I can give you the path to the LED's files and you can see if it is set to 1 or 0 if it is one, something sofware is keeping it on. If its 0 something hardware is keeping it on...I would think...just theory. Let me know if you want the paths I don't know them off the top of my head and have to go dig them out of code.
[Hero CDMA General] tyrnight:
Yea.. Im thinking hardware...

it didn't do it today.. so Im gonna track it..

I like to keep the battery topped off as much as possible..

Im also going to order another battery.. which is also a possibility of being the issue..

It was definitely a bad handset, Replaced and no more issues

Hello guys,

Does anyone know if the turbo sim will bypass the sim lock on the htc tattoo?
[Click General] MiSSigNNo:
if you have it try it and tell us, but if you don't i would recommend you to unlock it via imei preferable.
[Click General] jusumgeezer:
Flashing Won't remove CID lock

Hi

I have tried several methods on here to change from my UK Orange branded Tattoo.

I purchased an unlock code, but this was just based on the IMEI from HTC & didn't allow me to use any other sim.

Orange have really butchered the software to stop you using a different network.

I have managed to remove the Orange branding & got back the standard HTC apps.

However the Orange CID (customer ID) still remains & prevents any other sim being used. Even with the HTC software the APN is still greyed out.

Eventually I bought an I-sim2008, a few websites have them but I chose ebay.

With this underneath my sim it bypasses the CID check & allows me to use a different sim card.

Many people have claimed to use the phone with a different sim, but this is the only method I have found to work, I have spent about a week non-stop flashing, I now believe the only way to remove the CID would be on a rooted device with a custom ROM image.

Hope this helps a bit?

Up to now there is no development on the root or rom side, either not many people have the Tattoo or they dont' think it's worth while doing.....

Lets keep our fingers crossed.....:D
[Click General] ferraripassion:
What network is it on?

Codes for Orange UK have been a problem. The codes are correct but you need to flash the right rom.

The Italian locked Tattoo's don't have any problem with regard to unlocking.
[Click General] yash08:
Thanks for the heads up dude. Have you tried to enter the code after flashing the rom?still no good?Well, Ive seen a good place on the web where I can get a I-smartsim 2008 and its much cheaper than buying the code.

So ferraripassion you assure me that if I flash the ROM, the code will work?

Ive been in touch with htccode and their prices are really good (compared to others on the web) but problem is that they do not have a money back policy in case the code doesnt work. From the various reviews Ive read here and there, I dnt think I should invest in something that might not work when I have the I-smartsim.

On the other hand there is unlock-now, their prices are a bit higher but they assure me a money back in case that their code does not work on my mobile. I think Ill give it a shot. I have nothing to lose, if it works Ill be very happy :p if it doesnt ill have my money back :D

Well, thank for your comments guys. Have a merry christmas 2009 and a happy new year 2010 :D

Cheers
[Click General] MiSSigNNo:
It worked for me, bought the code in htccode.com, flashed my device and everything ok.

What would the correct ROM be for one on Orange UK?

I have used the RUU Click HTC WWE 1.67.405.6 WWE release signed NoDriver.rar from their website & am still having problems getting any other sim card to work.

As mentioned in my last post, I have been trying for about a week to get it working.:confused:

@yash08: I have this option, but when I tried to use it I got an error about files missing of the mem card?
[Click General] yash08:
@jusumgeezer: Am no expert, really and I might be completely wrong on this, but from what ive understood is that tattoo's not from orange uk dont have this <simlock> option, and orange uk does. Might this be why we cant use an imei generated code? Must we unlock this some other way?

By the way, I flashed and bought the code and it does not work neither!
[Click General] jusumgeezer:
Same as me then, got rid of the orange branded rubbish & got all the HTC stuff back, but still need the i-sim2008 to use another sim card. Otherwise it just gets stuck on the "unlocking Sim Card" screen or the APN is greyed out.:mad:
[Click General] yash08:
Well on my side I am very satisfied with unlock-now.com service. As soon as I supplied a video proving that the code didnt work, I got a refund without any hassle. Was like a knife in butter :p. They are very professional, I recommend their service to anyone.

Now I am just waiting for the I-SmartSim 2008 to be delivered. If this can be of any help to anyone, I bought it from here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12167.

Could You tell me please which ROM should i use to unlock this handset? I've got the code...

I've tried:

r2-mcr-tattoo-withadditions-signed.zip

Says "network unlock success" but still not working

and this one:

fyodor-TattooROM_v0.5.3.1.zip

Says "network unlock success" but after this freezed on "Unlocking SIM card" for around 20 mins and I'm still waiting...

Any advices?

Thank You
[Click General] lezioul:
hi guys,

i just want to know if the i-smartsim is the only thing needed to unlock the device or will i have to buy an unlock code as well?

If i choose this phone, it will be locked on Orange Fr network.

Thanks for your help.
[Click General] yash08:
Well the ismartsim is no more needed. If you get the last ROM update from Orange, you will be able to remove the simlock with a imei based code.

And to answer your question, no you dont need to buy a code if you use the ismartsim but as I said you can unblock your phone with the code now.
[Click General] lezioul:
Ok, thank you.

I've order both the phone and the ismartsim (just in case :D)

Hello,

When I open Library from MUSIC WMP in HTC HD2 I see a list of songs. On the left side there is a vertical scroll-bar. Well.. it doesn't respond to slide/press events. It is visible but doesn't work for me. I must add that this vertical scroll bar - works fine in File Explorer, but not in WMP Library.

Does anyone have the same problem ?

I wrote to HTC Support and they suggested to do a HARD-Reset, but I doubt that it will help, because I've changed my ROM from 1.43 to 1.48 and this problem still persists.
[HD2 General] arcades:
26 views and no answers.

Hey guys.. are you just lazy or what?

It will take you 5 seconds to check and answer...
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
I've had a look at the Library in WMP and can't find any scroll bar on the Left hand side, on my device its on the right. It also works perfectly for me.

Even if the scroll bar doesn't work however, you can still scroll through a list by sweeping your finger up or down on the middle of the screen to scroll.

It's unusual a software problem would translate from one ROM to another unless its language specific? Are you using WWE or one of the other language roms? If it isn't software, it could be hardware. Does that left part of your screen work OK with other apps in general? If not the sensors on the screen would be faulty and you could get a replacement.

RE: that post ^. You really need to be patient, people generally won't help people who demand an answer, we don't work for HTC here :)
[HD2 General] arcades:
Hi, thanks for your answer.

Yeah I'm demanding because other people might be interested in this too, I don't know maybe it's not only my problem.

The Fact is: Scroll bar works in File Explorer and every other application.

In MUSIC Library it doesn't work, but it's visible and when I'm sweeping list by fingers that scroll also moves, but it doesn't respond to finger press/slide or etc. It doesn't work only in my Music Library. Oh my mistake it's on the Right side, yes. Does it work for you in Music Library ?

Now imagine that I have more then 1000 songs in my library... How many times will I sweep by finger in the middle of the screen ? Not convenient. And also I think if it's visible - then it should work. I can't relax if something is not working in my device :)

I am not quite sure about this..

The Class 6 is 40% more expensive than class 2 ... But which one is better for my HD2 ?

Is class 6 will worth it ? any tech glitch if I use class 6 (maybe too fast ?)

Thanks
[HD2 General] gsingh7:
I dont think its woth it. but its a bit faster. if your budget allow you go for it:D
[HD2 General] djngal:
I think class 4 is the best of both worlds...

class 2 maybe too slow on saving something like a long video u shoot with your cam and i think that class 6 doesnt worth its money.. i have a 8gb class 4 and im really happy with it.. :)
[HD2 General] cyberz:
I have a Transcend 16GB Class6 and it is especially fast when use HD2 as "storage memory" or when insert the microSD directly in to my PC.

During the normal use probably a Class 4 is ample.

Regards
[HD2 General] cheetah2k:
Class 2 is more than adequate. Your card is only as fast as the writer/reader hardware.

Food for thought: The majority of 16Gb MicroSD failures with the HD2 have been Class 4 (me included - I had a 2 month old Sandisk Class 4, 16Gb fail on me in this phone, bought a new Kingston Class 2, 16Gb and have not had a problem)
[HD2 General] cyberz:
Obviously, yes. But I have no problem at all with my microSD Transcend 16GB Class6 on my Leo HD2.

All works fine and fast. And the hardware reader/writer on the HD2 is used at maximum of it's performance ;)

Class 6 is too expensive. I got the Sandisk 16GB uSDHC Class2 and it's fine.

[HD2 General] pympster:

[HD2 General] Stoferr:
I disagree with most guys in here. considering that you have just spend a hell lot of money on the HD2, I think that you might as well spend a few more bucks on a class 6 card, than a class 2. Especially considering that micro sd cards are so cheap today, I see no problem in that tiny bit of extra cost.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Class 6 value?

Of course it's worth it.

Copying, TomTom, photos, are all faster.

I don't believe Sandisk make a class 6 16g
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
It is important to note that using a class 6 rather than class 2 card will make absolutely no difference whatever to the performance of the phone - the phone itself is unable to read from or write to the card any faster than a class 2 card can easily cope with. The only time the class of the card makes a difference is if you take it out of the phone and plug it into a card-reader attached to a desktop PC.

[HD2 General] DMAND:
The difference between class 2 and 4 is noticable to me on the HD2, so a class 6 would be nice, but so hard to find.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Well, you have to ask what the phone might be doing that would actually require data to be read or written that quickly. If you're watching a video, for example, the highest bit-rate you'll encounter will be 2 to 3 Megabits per second. Even the worst class 2 cards can be read at 3+ Megabytes per second. So you certainly won't get smoother video playback with a higher class of card. The camera doesn't take pictures quickly enough for the data transfer rate to the card to become a limiting factor. What might you be doing that needs more than class 2 speed? Given that you don't need more than class 2 speed, it would be a waste of money to enable the phone to read or write faster than that.

If you don't believe me, try running an SD card benchmark on your phone, and let us know the results. :)

The class ratings tend to be quite conservative, in fact, especially on name-brand cards. You can easily read at 8 or 9 MB/s off a "class 2" card from Sandisk (indeed, it may even outperform a no-name "class 6" card). That's more than enough speed for the phone.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
I just ordered a PNY class 2 16gig on play.com. The official specs on HTC site says: 'Expansion slot: microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)'.

Does that mean class 2?
[HD2 General] Filipek88:
I think that means USB 2.0 compatible, but I am not sure.

I have a class 2 16GB sandisk and it's fast enough... I would have had to pay 20 euro more for more speed, but if it's not noticible then why should I?? And if it would be noticible, I don't care if I have to wait 30 minuts for files to transfer on my phone or 35, whatever....

[HD2 General] chribruu:
There are three versions of the SD-specification wich is 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. This does not have anything to do with USB 2.0 ( as suggested in another post). All classes are included in the 2.0 specification, and rumours say that it will be a new version of the SD spec (3.0) (not sure if this is SDXC) with even higher classes (10) in the not too distant future.

in short: No.

I did SKTools benchmark for Transcend 16 Mb 6 class and Nokia 8 Mb taken from 5800 (4 class). The results are (write/read):

4 class: 919/3905

6 class: 1946/6642

So the answer is - yes, 6 class worth it.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I'm having difficulty believing that changing from a card capable of supporting at least 4MB/s write speed to one capable of supporting at least 6MB/s write speed can be the only factor involved in the measured write speed changing from 1MB/s to 2MB/s. I think something else may be going on, there.
[HD2 General] Z7vv:

[HD2 General] maxibeginner:
Classes are about read speed, 6642 quite conforms to Class 6. Write speed can be lower, it's normal.
