Well, ID3v2.3 is a PITA. There are too many traps in that lousily written specification. It might well be the cover was there, but in some variation most tag readers have troubles with.

I'll think about that. Have to check the code whether it's possible without too many troubles...

I've no idea which kind of "functions" they mean. There are no public functions (like in Windows DLLs) in Android. If it's Intents, you could try "de.stohelit.folderplayer.SERVICE_STOP".

Usually, it shouldn't even need to recognize the player, the player recognizes the scrobbler (on initialization) and then sends broadcasts it should handle.

No, it's a device specific thing I can't access with an app that should run on other devices as well.

Once there's Android 2.3 available, features like that should become accessible through Gingerbread's audio effects API, which are also used for the equalizer. (Which is why it only works on 2.3 devices with proper API implementation.)

Seems like there's been some background process running wild. Multitasking can have its downsides... ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Mort:
Here's a test version with playlist support. It's a rather complex area, so there might be some bugs. The playlist's available in the track list. If there are files in it, you can also reach it by folder selection or folder skip buttons. But when playing or using track skip buttons, playlist and folders are separated. Playlist and folders also have different repeat and shuffle modes, which are toggled when you leave or enter the playlist. That's because the playlist usually is used differently. For example, it often would be bad ideas to continue with a giant playlist after the last folder, continue with the first folder after the party playlist's over, play tracks twice in shuffle all mode (once in playlist, once in folders), and so on.

Playlists can be saved in .m3u (encoding of properties) or .m3u8 (UTF-8, default if no extention is entered) format. Paths are saved relative (like "..\..\music\file.mp3"), so you can open it from your PC as well, but you shoudn't move the file to another folder.

When playlists are loaded, the player tries to find the files at several places (from root, SD folder, other /mnt/... folders, playlist folder, ...), but it might fail anyway - something like "C:\My Documents\My Music\Artist\Album\track.mp3" is hard to find when it's "/mnt/sdcard/music/Album/track.mp3" on your device...

Please write if you stumple upon errors or have some ideas to improve user experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Mort:
Another update.

Changes:

- Some bugfixes

- Hierarchical menu (test - might be removed if people don't like it...)

- Shows playlist files in folder selection (requires new folder scan), so you don't need to use "track list" - "goto playlist" - "edit button" - "menu button" - "open playlist"...

- Better handling of return button in track search and save playlist

[Nexus One General] noderat_tmobile:
I spoke with Asurion (T-Mobile's insurance affiliate) and the Nexus One is supported though them, it's $4.79/mo and proof can be found on their website:

http://www.phoneclaim.com/t-mobile-program

They weren't able to answer my question if I would get another N1, and I didn't have a lot of time but I'll inquire tomorrow about it further.

Everybody should still be within 14 days of the purchase and you can still add it to your T-Mobile plan (though keep in mind as CSRs we were originally told it couldn't be used on a nexus so you might have to convince the rep to add it, show them that link any rep can load that URL.)
[Nexus One General] quicksite:
I would consider skipping asurion and go with SQUARE TRADE warranty service.. flat fee and includes accidental dropping and water damage, reaosnable price.

I covered my HTC HERO this way... They claim to cover all smartphones... but coverage is limited to $400, so then again, not sure the total costs comparison over time. (I will say this: I had used Asurion for 2 differnt t-mobile phones, and surprisingly they were always easy to get replacement phones from; not at all what you normally expect from an insurance co when it's time for a payout.)

but just fyi:

http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/cellphone-landing3
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
I spoke to a Tmo rep this past weekend who assured me the Nexus One can be added to an existing policy, but cannot be added (by Tmo) if you don't already have one. He said he spoke to Asurion personally, and spoke to his managers.
[Nexus One General] zas74:
I just got off the phone with T-mobile and they were able to add insurance for my Nexus One for 5.99 and will replace it with another Nexus One for 130.
[Nexus One General] adeniyiabiodun:
I got insurance

If you have a decent bank account in the UK, you get free mobile phone insurance. I insured mine with Lloyds bank today.
[Nexus One General] noderat_tmobile:
Change your insurance to the $4.79 option, the $5.99 includes T-Mobile's warranty program which is not covered (but it will cover any other T-Mobile phone you have used before!)
[Nexus One General] staulkor:
Just called T-Mobile and the CSR transferred my G1 insurance to the Nexus One (Cheaper by ~$1 a month).
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
What exactly does this warranty cover....

Glass break?

Theft?

Water damage?
[Nexus One General] momohammed20:
+1 on squaretrade, their warranty is much better, and they process claims really fast.
[Nexus One General] noderat_tmobile:
Squaretrade doesn't cover loss or theft. Asurion covers pretty much anything but acts of war as long as the nexus is the last device used on your sim card.
[Nexus One General] Jackasaur:
I just confirmed that my nexus one is covered by asuripn which is pretty sweet.
[Nexus One General] mark925:
I called and got mine switched from the $5.99 plan to the $4.79 plan.

It was funny the rep on the phone mentioned the 14 day period to get the insurance then asked me when I got the phone to see if I could get the insurance.

Me: "It's only been out a week."

Her: *awkward silence*
[Nexus One General] usmc2k:
I pay jus $30 a year with state farm in the u.s. to have mine insured
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
Yes, yes and yes. Asuiron is awesome. Squaretrade is a complete ripoff. Good luck if you lose your device. And between what you pay for the deductible ($50), the difference in price between what you get ($399 max) and the cost of the device ($530) and the cost of the warranty, you are better off not getting any coverage.

Remember, Asurion offers INSURANCE and Squretrade offers a WARRANTY. You have a 1-year warranty with HTC anyway. Asurion will cover it no matter what. They had a G1 in my hands in less than 48 hours. I put it a claim at 6PM on a Monday, they confirmed it on Tuesday and I had the phone Wednesday morning. There is a $130 deductible and $4.79/month but I must say that the first few days without insurance was nerve-racking. For less than $5/month I pretty much don't care what happens to my phone now. It is worth every penny.
[Nexus One General] misticjeff:
Just an update to all of this.

Firstly, thanks very much to AndroidAppCritic for all the help!!!!

Secondly, i finally got my Nexus One. Went to my local T-Mo store this afternoon, told them what plan i wanted (Even More Plus 500) and after the entire store ooooohhh and aaaahhhhh over the Nexus, the sales girl asked if I wanted the $4.79 or $5.99mo coverage for the phone. I was shocked and told her what a fiasco it had been for users earlier in the week.

anyway, thanks again to everyone and off I go into "happy land"
[Nexus One General] webgrafix:
I called Tmobile today.... had my handset insured in like 5 minutes total. There was really no confusion from the phone rep.

[Nexus One General] Joyrex:

[Nexus One General] bosewicht:

Well I have had my Hero (A6262) for about three weeks and I love it, thankfully I haven't had any of the niggles mentioned in the forums.

What I have done is purchased the wrong model, that doesn't have the 850 3G band. I have spoken to the shop I bought it with and as the item works they aren't willing to exchange it. :mad:

Is it possible to do something that will allow me to access this band? I kno wit is a long shot, but you never know...

Hello. I have got my PDA in the network with PCs with Win-XP Pro. I need to print from my PDA (WM6) to shared printer which is installed on one of the PCs.

I can ping the PC.

Is that possible ? During testing I always got the answer that the printer is not accesible....

Can anyone help ?

many thanks.
[Networking] fards:
I dont think you can natively,

but you should be able to using jetcet

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsmobilehelp/thread/bd711847-afa7-4646-9a6c-5c4dbb5bfa47

Does your device have printer software on it? If so:

1. Designate your printer(s) to be shared. On an XP computer, you'll
select Start > Printers & Faxes
Right click your mouse button on the printer you wish to share > select sharing
Select"share this printer" and input a printer name in the space provided.
Select OK to exit the screen (write down the printer name you assignedto it)

2. Find the name of your computer:

Select Start > Control Panel > System > Computer Name tab
Write down the name of computer you find on this screen

3. On the windows mobile device,
open up the printing application and tap "Add Network Printer."
Look through the options and choose the one that allows you to connect to a shared printer - something like "connect to .... Share Name"
Input computer name & printer name in the space provide -- for my network, I enter: \\Julie\HPLaserjet
Then tap Next (if necessary) to proceed to next screen
Select the manufacturer & model of your printer -- if you can't find your specific model choose one that is similar to yours
Tap Next to proceed to next screen (if necessary), then input Printer Nickname in space provided
Select Finish
Now connect your windows mobile device to your WIFI network (this will not work with a GPRS|Edge|3G connection)
Go back to the printing software and select the printer you just set up
Tap Menu > Printer > Print Test Page
If you've got printing software installed on the device, you should see printing options in the menus of various software (Word, Excel, etc) on the windows mobile device. Once you get the printing software set up (as instructed above) and if you are connected to the network, you can select those options and the documents will be printed to your printer from your mobile device.
This worked perfectly on my HTC Fuze using Jetcet printing software.

re:

i tried the 15day trial but i cant print. There is EPSON as manufacturer, but no my type of printer.

Hello everybody,

I want to ask if anyone was played with Uni on HW level? If there are some free I/O ports (I need only 2) to use? Or has anybody schematic (dumb question? :))?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Well for a new user, you certainly seem to have got your head around some of the modifications possible!

Terminology:

Manila: The HTC interface with the big digital clock and tabs. The HD2 comes with Manila 2.5 (= HTC Sense)

ROM: Read Only Memory, but for our purposes usually means the operating system itself, which can be written to the ROM of the device. There are standard ROMs like the HTC 1.48 update and cooked ROMs like those you see in the forums.

Radio: Usually refers to the part of the OS controlling radio functions, which are the phone signal receiver, Bluetooth and WiFi. This also contains the GPS drivers.

Cooked: A ROM that has been modified by a ROM 'chef' to make it either more up to date, more functional, or to give more available memory. Some better than others, and all technically void your warranty.

Bricked: A 'cooked' ROM needs to have the boot sectors of the device modified to allow the ROM to be installed. If this hasn't been done, the the device can get stuck in the middle of the update, hence the term 'bricked': it becomes basically an unusable brick. There can be ways out of it, but sometimes it's terminal.

Flash: The process of updating the physical ROM with a new ROM OS image

SSPL/HSPL/SPL: The SPL is like the BIOS of a PC. Stock SPLs don't allow updates other than from the manufacturer or the phone operator. SSPL (SoftSPL) is a temporary software fix that allows the ROM to be updated and HSPL (HardSPL) is a permanent fix that protects from bad ROM flashes.

RRU/NBH: RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and it is the PC executed process to update a ROM. It has a few steps such as checking versions, battery status then putting the device into a mode to allow the ROM update (Bootloader mode) then doing the actual update. The NBH file is the actual ROM file itself that overwrites the ROM. It is possible to copy the NBH file to a storage card and rename it, then do the update without connecting to a PC.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Hard end call button: I don't know, but I suspect not!

WiFi always on: There is a file or registry modification to do this, but why would you want to? The hit on the battery with WiFi on is enormous so keeping it on when in standby would soon see the battery expire. Unless you don't have a mobile data plan there's not a lot of point in keeping WiFi on.

Mobile Data on/off: There is a program called Modaco NoData that allows you to manually turn the data connection on or off. As above though, why would you want to? These devices are sold and used as 'connected' devices and mobile data is used for a lot of background updating like weather updates, MyPhone sync etc. An open but quiescent data connection has almost no impact on battery life, and only uses data when programs are set to do so.

SatNav: TomTom don't officially support the HD2, but there are many forum topics about how to get it workng as long as you buy the correct version. iGO8 is a bit different- it is not formally available in UK and even where is it available it has to be run from the SD card it is supplied on. Also, it is pretty expensive. If you have a legitimate copy, there are ways to make it work from a different SD card.

Facebook: No idea- I don't use it!
[HD2 General] brettsorby:
Thank you Neil, yea iv got my head round some of it, luckily im not a technophobe im just in new territory :)

I only want to keep the wifi on because i stream radio when at home when its on charge and the streams just stop when the device sleeps but thanks for the battery tip, ill remember to disable wifi when i know im not in range of any.

Mobile web, i do have an "unlimited data plan" but subject to fair usage policy so got me panicking a lil bit when i see its been connected for hours but knowing that it doesnt actualy use any data unless needed is good to know.

Thanks for he jargon busting as well, Iv seen that there are higher versions of Mania/Sense on here and im aware that they may void warranty but am i right in thinking a hard reset put's it back to factory original? If so, im happy to upgrade the version but what new features would i be getting? Id quite like the whole today and manila tabs to go landscape.

Satnav, ill probably stick with CoPilot as the 5 day demo it came with functioned better than my dedicated Sony satnav lol

Once again, thank you very much :D
[HD2 General] NeilM:
If you want to maintain the WiFi when the device is on charge, the best way is to go into the Power settings, and set the parameters for 'External Power' to always stay on.

Even a USB charger is capable of maintaining a charge with the device turned on.

Regarding the Manila updates etc- you actually have to install a newer ROM to get these new features. I have to say that pretty much all the current 'cooked' ROMs have issues of one sort or another. Once the new ROM is installed, a hard reset only puts it back to how it was after that ROM was installed. You cna however always revery to a stock ROM if you need to.

[HD2 General] snerkler:
HI,

Whenever I go into my notifications it says mobile web and then has a time counting up. I'm assuming this is the data connection? Should this always be on, even when I have wifi connected? (I do have automatic sync set on my email accounts) If this is always running is it using data, or is it only using data as and when things are sent/received?

Cheers
[HD2 General] Archer:
It keeps the connection open so it can be used instantly. It's not actually doing anything unless a program actually uses it.

There is software in the forums for closing the data connection when it's not in use, but I'm not a fan of this so I can't advise you on it. There's plenty of reading matter about though :)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
So it's not actually using any data then whilst no programs are using it?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Nope - it just stays open for convenience. There will be a tiny amount of data sent (a few bytes every few minutes - maybe 1KB a day) just to keep the connection alive, but that's all.
