I tried your newest version and i like it really. Playlist support works great and album arts loads much faster. Great job dude! (I also like the exit button^^)

But unfortunately i have three issues:

When i exit the player he ist still in process list. If i start and close it again, the player ist in process list twice!! My HD2 slow down more and more through this.

It would be nice if you can choose the location of your music, because i have many ringtones on my Playlist ^^

Is it possible to add a function to dont get in standby mode? After a few seconds my backlight goes off and i have to unlock my phone to get back to iMulator. Thats very annoying

Please dont think i will criticize your Player or your work. Your developing in less than a month is awesome and your player is in my opinion the best i have ever used on my HD2!!!

Edit: For a few min I added a new remix Album on my Storage Card but it seems like iMulator dont recognize this as album. He list every single as own Album (with the same name) ... maybe becaue the songs have differnet Years?! Sense Player recognize it right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
thanks for the feedback!

I'm aware of the processes, I will get to that asap. The selection of your music browse location aswell ;)

The blacklight thingy, i don't experiance it, it perhaps is your phone setting?

About your album, make sure that 'album artist' is all the same ;) If you have a compilation album, 'Various Artists' or 'V.A.' is the best ;)

Need that soo much :)

btw. finally growing good player
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moorgogel:
Yes, I can set the Backlight time on my phone settings. For example: If i dont use my phone for 30 sec. backlight goes off and phone locks automatically. I like this funktion in 90% but sometimes it is annoying to unlock the phone every 30 seconds to change track or something. So, many music player (or movie player) have a function to activate the backlight enduring. While the backlight is on, the phone wont lock!

Change the backlight enduring in phone settings every time when i start iMulator is annoying too ;)

About the Albim thing: Now its all fine. Thx for your hint! :D

But unfortunately i noticed that some album arts in the browsing list are not correct. It seems like iMulator cant load the images in some cases and take the image from the song above. When i play these songs, the album art is shown correct. In last version there was all OK. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Aww I see what you're saying ;) That would have to be optional since I don't want to keep blacklight on because of the battery useage ;)

I'm glad that your albums are working well now :D

iMulator uses a 'shortcut' to load the albumarts faster. It assumes that songs with the same Album ID have the same albumart. (which is correct in most cases ;)) Theirfor, it loads it like this:

if (CurrentAlbumID == PreviousAlbumID)
{
CurrentAlbumArt = PreviousAlbumArt;
} else {
ID3v2Tag t = new ID3v2Tag(__SONGNAME___);
NewAlbumArt = t.Tags.AlbumArt;
}

I re-wrote the code that it's extremely easy to understand ;)

I don't know why it isn't loading correctly right know, cause the system hasn't really changed :X

gz reb3lzrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moorgogel:
Mh ok, i see... I have a lot of individuals songs and about 8 albums on my storage card. If i write per ID3 on every single song the corresponding album i will have many, many, many, many albums with only one song in it. ;)

It would take me much more time to find my "real" albums which are complete.

So i wrote in every individual song not the corresponding album but the fake album "Music" so i have under my Album list only my real albums and one with the name Music which has all single songs in it. I know this is special :cool: But this works great on the Sense Musicplayer and all others i have tried. But as you said, because of the individual artists iMulator doesnt recognize "Music" as one album.

Thats too bad. If there is no way to change this i have to live with the issue that some album arts are not shown correct when i set the album artists the same.

Ok...enough today... night ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Let me give you a word of advice, I actually do the same; I generally download music in complete Albums, but some songs ( around 150 ) were downloaded as a single file. So all those songs are put under the album called '[No Album]'.

I changed all the Album Artist to "Various Artists" within seconds. I managed to do so using a tool called 'mp3tag', more information and a download link can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

It's an extremely powerfull tool, it can also be used to change all the songs' AlbumArtist to "Various Artists" withing a few mouse clicks ;)

Remember that "Preforming Artist" and "Album Artist" are NOT the same! Theirfor changing the Album Artists will not affect the Preforming artist ;)

installed it yesterday and it installed and load fine scanned for music and everything got to the interface played around with it a bit and it crashed never to open again until a reboot never actually got a chance to play a song. Tried to run in on my omnia 2.

Waiting for playlist support that you can import from a PC aka m3u files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andrewje:
Excellent Player but a few issues let it down

Hi,

This looks excellent. Exactly what I was looking for in a music player. There are a couple of issues that I have noticed that make it not very usable.

1) The application doesn't seem to terminate properly. There is always an iMulator process left running. When the app is re run a second process is created. The only way to get rid of them is buy rebooting the phone. :(

2) The album art seems to "reload" every time the player starts. It takes ages for the album art to start appearing also. It seems like it is not being cached / stored in a DB.

3) I hear it doesn't play WMA files. I haven't tried playing a WMA file yet but this would let it down a bit.

4) Not really a fault but it would be great to be able to skin this player. If I had wanted an iPhone player I would buy an iPhone! Make it look like WP7 / Zune. :)

Excellent work though. I wait for issues 1 & 2 to be fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kevin41034:
suggestion on improvement

Excellent player.

Any though on adding a function to display foreign language songs? ie. Chinese? I currently use Nitrogen with a Chinese language program (Leies Chinese System SP). The Chinese characters displayed without any problem in Nitrogen. But your player for some reason does not support this function.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jebise101:
it just needs custom playlist (m3u) support and fix the crashes. also btw for me on the right hand side all the letters started of all black once you touch the screen you would see them and the bar colour would change back to white.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zen kun:
ok my first impression its nice, im not sure if im missing but in

artist->albums should be or would be nice a ALL SONGS for that artist, when i close imulator keep in memory i need use xtask and its not as task its as process so maybe some people cant see this, nice player. iw ish can support bluetooth headset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donstoney:
really good player man fair play, but there's a few issues, i got an SE xperia X1i, running generic stock rom winmo 6.1, player plays quite well, little slow at times, but it plays the music which is most the important thing i reckon, but when your in media browser and press file -> options, nothing happens. also while music is playing, if you press library nothing happens also. And one other thing, does/will the player have eq support, or is that in the options field which i cant get to?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Thanks for this good feedback!

When you press the Power button, you get send to the unlock screen of windows mobile? I'm not, i'm taking directly to my music application. I don't know what's the source of this problem.

The shuffle options are indeed not saved... That is a design flaw on my side:( This is the same reason that options is not working. Besides, there isn't any action 'linked' when pressing that button. So that is yet to be written.

Anyhow, I really like your feedback, its detailed and well explained! I hope I get to read more of these ;) I will work on the application in the meanwhile!

I'm aware of both of these flaws, the 'all songs' can be added fairly easy. But to fix the 'close bug' i need to re-check all the code written... that will take some time :O

I don't have acces to a bluetooth headset, theirfor support for such is not likely to come anytime soon.

There is alot of confusement about the 'options', there is none so far:(

Also an eq will not be implemented for some time. Why? Well I currently use WMP to play the songs, this doesn't allow me to ( or atleast makes it very hard for me ) to add an equalizer.

To implement one, I first want to write a library that plays media myself. Trying to make it as light as possible and implement an EQ there ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moorgogel:
thank you for your hints. can you tell us when the next version will be released?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
At this moment I'm working very hardly on my school, the year is comming to an end and theirfor there are quite some things that need closing.

In fact, I haven't even made a decent change on the application.

The next version will contain the following features:

- Changeable options
- Changeable 'search for media' folder
- m3u playlist support

Besides that I'll try to fix the problems with the processes that will remain running after the closing of iMulator.

That is my goal for now, alot of others desired features were posted in this thread, but I need to cut down those features to small 'blocks', so it's a bit easyer for me to create new versions

One Love,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mase_Mase:
Absolutely fantastic player!!! I really like the functionality of WMP but I HATE the non touch optimized interface. This is a great solution!

May I suggest some features?

1) The ability to queue up songs like you can do in WMP. If this is present, I haven't been able to figure it out.

2) Is there a way to specify a single folder to be scanned for music, and only that folder? Right now, I have all the tiny sound bites from my games or other apps installed on my SD card included in my library.

Other than that, THANKS and good luck with school!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thehellraiser:

Thanks for your contribution .. ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keeshond:
The app is looking very nice.

But the future improvements that you named (what folder to index, etc) would be a great update! Maybe another point: When I open the Albums, it constantly has to re-index the albumart. Is there a way to speed up that process?

I'll certainly will track this thread for future updates!

Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
Thanks for all of the comments! You guys are truely helping me out here!

1. The ability is already present; Keep holding a song, a small menu comes up. In there there is this option 'Add to current playing' from there you can choose to play it right after the current song is playing, or as the last song of the current playlist.

2. The specified folder option will be added in the nearby feature, alot of people (including me) want this option. Ringtones and stuff in your library is not what we are looking for, or is it? ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reb3lzrr:
You can put your music anywhere you like, iMulator scans the whole device ;)

It needs to be *.mp3 format tho... No other extensions are supported right now.

Bugs

first I have to say that I like your player!

The rating systems is a realy good idea - then I can find my best MP3 songs easy again :D

But I think there is a bug in your programm :mad:

"File - options" does nothing :rolleyes:

When I choose Albums I suppose to get all songs of a specific Album in a playlist.

But when I choose "Albums" I get all Songs - for me it looks like you don`t "group by" the album :confused:

Do you have a sourceforge or google code project?

Would be nize if you can verify the things I figured out - I use iMulator on my HTC HD2.

[HD2 General] AvRS:
Hi,

I recently installed CHT 1.7.1 and started getting an issue with my alarms where if I turn it off then on again it adds a new alarm on to the existing one (see screenshot showing 4 of the same alarm). It's as if the phone is storing the alarms in a cache somewhere and recalling them even though I only have the 1 alarm set. Also if I change the time of the existing alarm the original one still goes off even though its not shown in the list of alarms. I have to dismiss each one every time which is getting annoying and don't want my work alarm going off when I have the day off work lol.

I have reported this as a bug on the CHT thread but was wondering if there's a reg edit I can do to clear out all stored alarms so I can reset them?

Thanks for any help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iammuze:
I hope this is in the right spot.

I was hoping to ask the awesome developers here if there was any way to add a quick "reboot into recovery" option (a la openeclair) from the power button menu.

I mean, when you long press the power button on the Nexus, you get a dialogue box asking whether you want to reboot regularly or into recovery.

Ideally, this would be able to work on any rom, CM5 especially. For right now, I'm just going to write an apk that strictly does "reboot recovery" because that's the extent of my ability. More on that later.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
i understand your request for the option to be added to the window when long-pressing power button - i'd like that too.

but in terms of "writing an apk that does reboot recover" there is aleady such app (with widget) in the market: Quick Boot

well look at that. thanks, that's cool.

Even those little $40 sandisk players can handle gapless audio and FLAC files. Why can't we get a music player in 2010 that can do something this simple? That 1/2 second 'pause' between tracks is so annoying that I have to keep a separate music player with me to enjoy music.

My 1Ghz HD2 should have plenty of horsepower to handle this mundane task.

I mean its just software right? Even sandisk developers can write it. :(

Hello all,

My phone is not working properly. I've had some bugs most people seem to be having, but now I have something which is quite annoying. I can't find it on these forums or anywhere on the internet.

I have seen a 1 line reference to my problem here:

/showthread.php?t=666332&highlight=standby

Flaws & annoyances with the HTC Desire (with workarounds!) [updated Apr 23, 2010

Hardware defects. Eg. Dust under screen, device not going into standby properly. Most of us don't experience these. Contact your retailer to exchange the unit or HTC to claim warranty.

So, I seem to have this problem. The phone wakes up with whatever button I press, and I don't have to unlock the phone. I have a unlock pattern set. It also doesn't ask me for this.

I couldn't find a proper topic about this problem, but I assume I'm not the only one. Is there a fix, or is it a hardware problem?

It wouldn't make sense to me if it's a hardware problem since the screen does turn off when I press the 'power' button.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bart.
[Desire General] souljah777:
Which Lock?

are you using the built in lock or a third party lock app? I had the same problem when I used LockBot. If it's the standard lock, have you tried Powering the phone off then back on?
[Desire General] ZasXxSAz:
I am just using the built in application. I haven't used any other lock app.

I have tried turning the phone off twice, and both times it came back (might have been after charging it, but I don't know at all if that's the reason).

edit: I'm gonna try to recreate the problem with restarting and trying to find out when it stops working properly.

edit2: I restarted now... and it hadn't saved the new background I set... strange... :/

edit3: Ok, it still locks itself... I guess I'll just need to wait and see when it doesn't work anymore... maybe it's just a matter of time for it to stop working...
[Desire General] franklinvv:
The problem that you quote in your opening post is probably the problem concerning the Desire (or rather an application running on the Desire) not properly releasing a wake lock which causes severe battery drain, e.g. the calendar app about which another thread exists.

Your problem seems to be quite strange. You do not happen to have an application called 'No lock' installed, right?
[Desire General] ZasXxSAz:
No, I don't have 'No lock' installed.

I use 2 calander widgets though... (the little one on my home screen, and an more advanced one on another screen.)

I've got quite some applications installed though... I'll just type them here, maybe someone can see something wrong...

This morning it didn't work anymore, and the only application that did it's thing this night was the kaloer clock (night clock).

I looked at the settings, and there are some settings about screen lock.

It's not clear at all, but I changed some settings, and it locks again.
