Hi,

Got rather a big problem. I installed Resto Explorer and was using it quite happily until the trial period lapsed. I did purchase the program as I liked it but got the wrong license generated and still waiting to hear from their support on getting it fixed. In the mean time I was unable to edit or do anything of substance.

So in my wisdom I decided to remove it for now. Big mistake! I am now unable to explore my phone as I cannot find the default explorer. I think I may have removed that from the start menu. OCD cleanliness you understand!!

So I cannot explore at all and thus cannot install anything to replace it.

Anyone know how I might recover from this one?

Cheers.

[HD2 General] rphillip:
Ok panic over. I used pcsync to copy a shortcut of fexplore.exe to start menu. Phew!

What someone mind posting the registy location and values of the default file explorer please so I can fully recover as it was and this time keep it there!!

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Not quite sure what you expect to be stored in the registry for the file explorer. I've had a brief look and can't see anything in there. Just using it will set up any data storage that it uses. AFAIK it only needs to remember the last location it was in - nothing more.
[HD2 General] rphillip:
Well at the mo all I have in the start menu now is "Shortcut to fexplore.exe". I woudl like to clean that up as far as possible to be what it it supposed to be.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Open file explorer and go to windows\start menu\programs and find the shortcut. Just rename it in there.

Incidentally, if you select an application, anywhere on your phone and do "Copy", you can then go to the above mentioned programs folder and do "Paste Shortuct". Just in case you lose any more shortcuts :)

Hello, I'm new here and I have a lot of questions, but the most important (before I start flashing my Diamond) is:

How can I retrieve my current ROM (the one that came with the phone) from it's memory?

I need this in case something goes wrong and I need to service it! In case of service problem, the warranty will void if I change the ROM.

Can anyone give me some info on this?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
roms are replaced leaving no trace of them on the device

only way to go back is to flash the device with the same old rom one had to begin with

if devices had a shadow rom one could go back to the original it came with

it would require 2 times the rom storage raising the price and size of the device

and inc the power usage

1. Open the java file (*.jar) using Winrar. As an example, we will use Scarface game.

2. Open META-INF folder, drag MANIFEST.MF file to the computer (to the desktop or the other folders).

3. Open MANIFEST.MF with Notepad. To do it, right click on the file and double-click on the notepad icon. You will see strings or programming language inside the file.

[General Questions and Answers] epvox:
I'm having trouble moving from JF (v1.4.2 -- yeah, it's been awhile) to the latest Cyanogen build. Specifically, I've tried a few different paths and recovery images (the wiki about switching from older and non-Cyanogen builds, FlashRec when I got worried I'd lost root, even taking the phone back to RC29 and starting over) but the Home-Power boot-up ALWAYS takes me to JF's recovery image, which does not have a function for Alt+A - the jumping-off point for other builds - the only choice is Alt+S, which then looks for JF's specific build. When it can't find it, it just stops there awaiting my next choice.:confused:

(edit: at the JF recovery screen, Alt+S directs the phone to look for "update.zip" on the SD card. But after pressing Alt+S it says: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip. Thought perhaps renaming the file "update.zip" might help. It hasn't. For whatever reason it's not reading the file, though it is placed on the root directory and not in a file or folder. Wassup?!)

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Longtime listener, first-time caller.

(next edit: Found this http://www.cyanogenmod.com/home/4-1-11-1 and renamed "update.zip" to "update". Seems to be working. If anything blows up...well...so far, so good.

[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Brackets and other characters !!!

Very important bug, Please relay the info

Hi there. I also have a lot of issues with my music library too.

So, what is the problem? I, as others, noticed that after transferring new files to my SD card (audio files or not), my music player crashes. Once it crashes,

only

a softreset would make it work properly. Re-connecting the device and removing the newly added files won't make the Player work again...

To transfer files to my SD card, I connect my device to my computer using a USB cable. If you connect using the "Disk Drive" mode, the speed is better, but the phone music player cannot access files, until you disconnect it from the computer. If you connect using the "ActiveSync" mode, it's less easy to transfer stuff, but the bug remains...

Normally, the Music player is able to update the files in a few seconds and should display every single tracks if you click on "Library" and choose the tab "All tracks". I means, it's

extremely

fast and my 4Go mp3s appear in 20 seconds or so. Wow!

Unfortunately, from time to time, when I disconnect my device, the Music Player crashes, the little update circle turns for ever, the "All tracks" tab remains empty, the player displays "no music found" and is unable to play any track, until the next softreset. From blazing fast to just plain buggy. Gosh!

Now, the good news. I discovered that the mp3 Tag (the so-called ID3 tag) is responsible for my problems.

I already gathered the facts that brackets in GENRE field cause the HTC Music Player to crash (See here), as wall as tag format other than ID3v2.4 UTF-8 (See here).

Still, it didn't complete solve the problem to convert all the ID3-tag to ID3v2.4 UTF-8 format and even removing the "genre" field from every single track. The problems were solved after I alse removed the "tracknumber" field from every track. Here are my complete findings about this bug.

What make the HTC Music player crash?

- The crash problem seems

only

related to the mp3 tag (ID3 tag)

- Tag format "ID3v2.3 UTF-16" => solution: use only ID3v2.4 UTF-8 tag or convert all the mp3 files in the player using MP3-Tag or similar software (shareware)

- Genre field using the following characters: brackets (), and symbol (&). No problem with the dash (-), underscore (_) nor space.

- Tracknumber including a star symbol (*). No problem with format like 1/16.

- Only one mp3 file is able to crash the whole player

- Only softreset will solve the problem once it happens. Even re-connecting the player and removing the bad files won't solve the problem once it happens.

So, if you have some mp3 tagged "Rock & Roll", "R&B" or "Pop (Rock)" files, you'll likely to see your Player crash everytime you connect and disconnect the USB cable.

What I don't know, is if everybody has the same problem. Myself, I'm using the latest official ROM 1.48 WWE with some tweaks...

For now on, I'm converting every file I transfer to my HD2 with MP3-tag using "ID3v2.3 UTF-16" tag, no *, no (), no &... And I happy again with my device... Until?

So what do you think? Do you have the same problem?

"For now on, I'm converting every file I transfer to my HD2 with MP3-tag using "ID3v2.3 UTF-16" tag, no *, no (), no &... And I happy again with my device... Until?"

Hello guys! I did exactly what you suggested, converted all tags from my 5 GB of MP3. No success, Music Player takes ages to load (approx. 8 minutes, but every time you open it). Seems that the database (that is created when the Sd-card is inserted for the first time, hence the looooong loading. Right?) will not be saved for some reason. So the HTC-Music player is useless at present.

Greetings, and all the best for 2010 Dudes!

[HD2 General] Arda4:
The size of my music folder is 4,5GB. I put all the songs at the same time on my microSD and then I opened the Music Tab. I had the same, never ending circle.

I deleted all of my songs, opened Music Tab, no songs of course, gave it a soft reset, plugged my HD2 to the pc, splitted my songs in parts of between 600-800MB. So I put the first part of 600MB on my phone, unplugged it, waited a lil bit and then opened the Music Tab. Sometimes it doesn't see the new files directly, so I have to soft reset it. Then start Music Tab, the circle will come up for a minute or less, and disappear again. Press on the library button, scroll to All Songs and select a random song and see if it plays for more than a minute. If everything is okay, you can pause the song, go to the main screen and put the next part of 600MB.

Sometimes the circle doesn't come, and sometimes it never stops. In that case, you have to wait for a few minutes on the Music Tab, and after that give it a soft reset and see if it helps.

It takes a long time, but at the end the music tab will finally work. If the whole thing crashes and doesn't react if you press the Play-button, give it a soft-reset and delete the last part again, soft reset and see if music tab works.

Before you try this, increase the standby time to 10 minutes, otherwise it will turn off all the time. You have to be patient, but in my case it fixed the problem.
[HD2 General] rzasharp:
Take it easy. I definitely agree with you that something is wrong with the Sense music player, but until HTC really fixes this, we'll encounter various issues. You have to understand that only one wrong file will make your player crash and act

exactly

as you observed: playing any mp3 for few seconds and then stop. Let's make it clear. If you have only one wrong file in the whole library, not only will this particular file be impossible to play, but the whole library as well won't be able to play!

What do I call wrong files? I'm referring to the files not respecting the characteristics I described previously (TAG => more info here, if you don't know what I'm talking about). What is certain is that some "wrong" characteristics, other than MP3 tags, will make your play crash, that is for sure.

First things first. Did you at least try a softreset? Even so, I observed that the soft reset will "solve" the problem as long as the problem is related to MP3 TAGS. But I already experienced freezes and crashes even after a fresh softreset. This means that some "wrong files", not necessarily badly tagged will make the player crash, that's for sure. I still haven't found answer to that...

What you should do, as someone mentioned, is avoid putting your files in the same folder. As I always listen to full albums, already arranged in specific folders, I might have not experience bugs related to this issue.

Read the above message and answer these questions:

- Do you still have the problem after a softreset?

- Do you still have the problem if you only have few mp3 on the SD card?

- Do you have a lot of files in a unique folder?

- Do you have other music filetype?

- Look for specific characters in the TAGS, maybe other characters are not supported (; ~ \ ç ^ µ ????)

As I mentionned before, be aware that only one wrong file is able to make the whole music library crash, so you'll have to search and find that (or those files)... and share your findings with us :D:D:D

I'm sure this will get a fix sooner or later.
[HD2 General] okokur:
thank you for making my angry-heart slower (to 100 bpm, its normal for me).

at end, i delete all mp3s and try it with only one mp3 - to see that the player really function is o.k.

change all like you say (make filename smaller and this time without underscore "_").

and what can i see ... time is more than 5 seconds ... 8 seconds ... 15 ...

o.k., now i will test with my other mp3s (all together are max 1,2 GByte and not more than 30 files ... )

thank you
[HD2 General] okokur:
cant believe it ...

change my other mp3s as same as above i describes,

but more than one title the player makes the same shi.. as before.

i check all and find only one different thing in the list:

i have some mpegIII, mpegII and mpegI mp3-files.

could this a problem for the player?

[HD2 General] rlatarche:
okokur i have the same problem as you - the player will play a song then once the update circle has finished spinning does the player crash. You have to press pause/play numerous times to get it to start again and then the whole cycle repeats. I have tried everything. Formating, folder by folder transfer - nothing works. Until I change the ROM to something else by another Chef - then it works. Go back to the old ROM - Bang dies again.....I've looked at reg settings etc and cannot see any difference - this is very confusing/frustrating and annoying!

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
embedded meta data has always been a source of problems, especially when mixed with the literally thousands of different encoding variables. I once spent two days trying to figure out a winamp problem that eventually turned out to be a single track with a non standard character in the 'notes' field of the tags. (damn those stupid kids filling napster with tracks full of tags like '®¡pp€¤ 8y $p&®kz' )

Same goes for videos, try opening a folder with a hundred avi files in vista with preview turned on. takes forever.

I haven't had ' too' much trouble with the media player on here, and if it is tag related then it makes sense cause a year or so ago I used a multi file tagger to remove everything but title album track and artist fields.

(I guess my long winded story just ads a little weight to the tags theory)
