Hi, I'm sorry to open an old thread but there are many unresolved things here that I really can use.

For example that Android app to make remotes from different brands work.

With remote i meant being able to change the volume, skip track, play/pause and make/end call.

Certain fruit-brand headsets are causing the most trouble. Yes, yes those damn iPhone and Ipod headset remotes.

I don't think it should be that hard to make an app that can read a signal from any remote, save/register it, gives you an option to bind it to a certain function.

Btw does anyone know Fibretronic? Check it out on Fibretronic.com.

I've modified my snowboard jacket to have a remote on the sleeve connected to the BTM module.

I was thinking of using the IPLX module, but since those are " Made for Ipod ", they have the incorrect functions on my HTC Desire HD. -> volume buttons not working, next/preventie track = call/end call last dialled person, play/pause does work.
[Desire Accessories] schmittx:
I agree, am very curious why the Apple headphones control don't work with Android...they both use 4 conductor 3.5mm jacks correct? Even if it a slight hardware difference [i.e. resistance values] then an app could convert the Apple controls signals from the headset into Android system commands and push them to the phone/music player...right?

This could be a huuuuuuge feature if someone were to crack this problem...
[Desire Accessories] beady_uk:
This is something i have been interested in since i got my desire.

Before my desire i had the nokia N95 8GB and the inline headset control was awesome. Skip tracks forward and back, volume up and down, play/pause and stop and answer/hang up. The best part was the fact it had a 3.5mm connector on the end so you can use your own prefered headphones. They currently dont work with the desire. If someone could make a hack or app to allow this to work they would be fricken awesome.

This is what i am talking about incase anyone has not seen this before

(Volume controls are on the side)
[Desire Accessories] DmytroL:
Not quite...

First, iPhone-compatible accessories use a different pinout (there are two industry standards for TRRS 3.5mm jacks and it turns out that HTC and iPhone use different ones)

Second, different resistance values are not something that could be easily handled by the software because translation of resistance values into commands happens in a piece of hardware - so, specific resistance values are, thus, "hardcoded" in the chip.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

You could of course try cutting off the stock 3.5mm jack on the remote control and soldering another one with the right pin-out, but even then it's not guaranteed the way the Nokia remote control uses to transmit the commands would be compatible with HTC hardware.

BTW, there seems to be a detailed DIY video:

I know a lot of you out there are obviously updating to newer, cooked ROMs. This by far is the best bet when spending the kind of money we are on these phones. You get much more out of your new phone than it is capable of doing from the factory or retail store.

I want to instill in everyone's mind how truly important it is to check out the new radios available for the phone. It takes literally 5 minutes or less start to finish to flash a new radio. You won't lose your newly flashed ROM or any settings that I have found. So, please take notice to my advice. Below is the link for all the newly updated radios for our device. Check out a few of them and make some calls, use your gps. I believe you will be much happier with a new radio, because frankly the stock radios are garbage.

My call signal strength is maxed out in my home whereas it only had 2-3 bars before. My gps doesn't lag behind me anymore, and My Location works perfectly since flashing a new radio. So, try one out. It definitely can't hurt. Below is the link to the thread with all of the newer radios. ENJOY!!!:cool:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sixsevenco:
You're TMO-US, right? Which radio did you use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
He mentioned in another thread that the radio he flashed to is the one ending in .57, and that's the one I'd suggest you start with. I happen to have it already because it's the one that comes with the stock T-mo 6.5 ROM...but if you've running any ROM's with a different radio, you'll want to give this one a shot. A few other T-mo users have reported good results with the .77 radio, but I'd still start with the .57 if you haven't already.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
thanks outerdepth...

I have always figured I should update my radio, but never bothered/got around to it. Your post re-motivated me, so I updated from .25 to .77 and...

100% improvement!!

My gps accuracy used to be off by about a city block, which I attributed to the fact that 'oh well its a cel phone, what can I expect', now is accurate within a meter or two.

My data speeds are much improved, and I dunno if its my imagination or not, but calls even seem clearer and have a better sound quality to them.

Dont know about battery drain yet, but its not really important to me cause I'm a truck driver, so I can leave my phone plugged in most of the time in the truck

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Furious911:
So this might be a dumb question but are these radio updates official? They overwrite ROM so I'm kinda always wary to ever try this. I have the official HTC ROM from their website and I assume you can flash it back but I'm not sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
The ROM will stay, all your contacts/text/etc will stay, and you SHOULD NOT have to worry about losing anything. You can use a program like SPB Back Up or Sprite back up if you are worried though.

I switched to VZW 1.88 and it is about the same as the PCS 2.32 in my area but I put a bunch of radios on my SD card in case I travel and have no bars so I can use this method to flash on the go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
The thread about TP2 Radios tells you how to choose the ones that will work for you, just look for the ones that say AT&T and start there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
The radio-roms are "official". However, in order to flash one you have to first do the HardSPL, which isn't official....and may not be completely reversible, depending on what carrier-branded (if any) phone you have.

The only reason this SPL issue may matter is if you have to return for warranty return. If they swap the phone for you in a store then surely nobody in a store will know the difference...but if you have to send it to HTC then non-stock tampering may be evident.

That being said, it hasn't stopped me from taking full benefit of what this site has to offer and make full use of what is possible with my TP2. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
Good advice for everyone.

Some of the newer cooked roms require a particular radio...or at least will work best with a particular radio. Before flashing any new rom, read to see if the chef suggests a certain one.

Does my phone have to be unlocked to install a new radio as is the case with installing a new ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
No, the security lock only prevents you from switching carriers. Shouldn't affect the radio.

And in any case the phone doesn't have to be unlocked to install a custom ROM, it has to have a different hard SPL.

[HD2 General] regis.stration:
Thanks for taking the time to share. I just started looking for a solution to this today!
[HD2 General] regis.stration:
A simpler way?

The path in the .m3u is dependent on where you tell MM to save it. So I moved all my files to a folder in this path on the pc: "c:\storage card\music\ . . ."

Then I saved the playlist to the "c:\" and the playlist now includes the "storage card" part of the path. You don't have to put in root at c:\. I can go anwhere, but you have to save the playlist in the level above "storage card"

When I moved it to the HD2, it did not work! I saved a new song on the hd2 to the same playlist, moved it back to the PC to see why it would play, and not the songs saved by MM. It turns out that MM saves the path as "storage card\music\ . . ." It does not put in the initial '\" in the path. It should be "\storage card\music\ . . ."

So, now after I save the play list with MM to c:\

1. Open playlist with notepad

2. type Ctrl+H (Replace)

3. type "storage" in 'Find What'

4. type "\storage" in 'Replace with'

5. select 'Replace all'

6. save the file

7. sync to hd2

That's it. The file is on correct format with the full path. The point is to have identical paths to the music on both the hd2 and PC.

Hope this helps . . .

Strange behavior...

Hi!

I read through your small guide and did not get any answer to my problem so here goes:

I had my songs in one folder on my SD card, i had made two playlists.

Then without removing thoose two playlists i moved my whole music folder into where it should be in My Documents/Min Musik <-- Swedish path! :)

Now to my problem, as you can see in the picture i have two playlists with a different icon (Blandat and Sade) on it, thoose to is not removeable :(

why and how can i remove them manualy? I have searched through my whole device without finding them.

Please can you help me...

I use Windows media player to hold my music and playlist on my PC, i then make an auto sync of my HD2 with wmp for all my playlists and they all work perfect in sense?

my music AND my playlists on my PC gets transferred and recognized perfectly?!?

[HD2 General] regis.stration:
dogg,

Thanks for sharing. Could you please share versions of wmp on pc? ALso, what type of playlist (.asx, .m3u, etc) is created on PC? does it sync as-is, or converted to another type on hd2? Also, what is the folder structure of your music (and playlists) on both PC and HD2?

Thanks . . .
[HD2 General] s21s20:
This is my solution for those who use Itunes and especially those who prefer to use the simplicity of the unix platform within the mac.

The software for syncing my music is called double twist which runs both on Mac or PC, this great piece of software recognises the HD2 straight away and imports everything from your itune library which you just copy to your SD card. It even now support itune s the Android Market for those that may want to port Android to their HD2 in the future when it becomes available.

Once you have connected your beloved HD2 a sync music panel appears with 2 options, sync all music or selected playlists, I use this section for only syncing my podcasts because that is the only thing that changes each week, this is how I do it;

1. Create a playlist in itunes called podcast

2. start up DT and go to library > music> source >itunes and select the podcast playlist you created

3. Now go to the file menu > library > add to library

4. Now the playlist will appear every time you connect and you just need to refresh this playlist which can be doe automatically in the preferences.

Every week I start up itunes and wait for it to finish downloading my subscribed podcasts and then drag them into my podcast playlist, after deleting the previous weeks podcast. Now just start up DT with HD2 connected and press the sync button and my podcasts are now on my my HD2

This solution is excellent for those who realised that owning a MBP running virtual box with windows 7, best of both worlds. This set up allows you to take advantage of the apple MBP and still be able to flash ROM's from the one set up.

<p><em>hope</em> this helps</p>
[HD2 General] .razor:
This is probably WAY too late, but as I had to sync my first WMP playlist to my HD2 today and ran into the same issues as everyone else before finally working out the secret, I thought I'd update this thread. Best of all, you don't need to download or convert anything, syncing does work as it is supposed to.

- First of all Restart both your computer and HD2 (this is a precaution and can't hurt).

- After making your playlist in WMP attach your phone via USB as normal. IMPORTANT: when your connection options appear, make sure you select 'Active Sync' and NOT 'Disk Drive' (even though this would be a faster transfer the playlists won't come across this way). Press Sync on WMP.

- After Sync in WMP is complete, make sure you ALSO 'Sync All' in Active Sync. This might take a while and may even create an error at the end. Don't worry. If you don't do this, you may find that even though the Playlists appear on your HD2, none of the Music actually plays.

- Launch your HD2 Player and let the scanning complete, but don't play anything.

- Unplug and Restart your HD2.

- Now (hopefully) your playlists will appear AND play.

[HD2 General] cliver:
Am I reading this thread correctly...

Does the HTC Sence player read .asx playlists only?

If so where does the playlist have to sit for the sense player to pick it up?

If I read this correctly should it go in the phone root?

If so I have a problem: I have placed one there and the sense player can't see it :-(

I am using MusicBee to create and export my playlists in.asx format. I can even get it to map the paths correctly from PC path to HD2 path so may have a simple working solution if I can just get sense to recognise the .asx file.

Any help on where I should locate the .asx file so that sense player will see it greatly appreciated.

I can't even find the ones that I have created manualy through the sense player itself!! WTF does sense do with them??

[HD2 General] interlope:
HTC HD2 playlist location and format

I have done some investigating. It appears that the audiomanager does NOT use ASX format playlists, but basically m3u style with just the path to each song, one song per line. The location of playlists is \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists

The tricky part seems to be that playlists are in a BINARY format. If you use Playlist Manager to convert a playlist for audiomanager, then copy that playlist from \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists you will be able to open it in Notepad and it appears to be an ordinary text file. In fact, you can add songs to it in notepad, save the file, copy it back to \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists and after a soft reset the playlist will have your new entries. However, if you were to copy and paste the text in that file to a new text file, copy that to the HD2 and soft reset the new playlist will appear empty.

Examining the files shows the playlists produced by Playlist manager are substantially bigger than an equivalent plain text file. A hexdump shows that each character is padded by a hex 00, and there is some extra stuff at the start.

In short, Playlist manager (http://mobisapienz.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=82) is the way to go. Make plain m3u playlists (making sure the path is relative to your phone, not your pc, as described in other posts), open them in playlist manager and use it to export them to HTC audiomanager - then soft reboot.

BTW, playlists made this way can't be edited in the phone. Changes will be lost when you reset. Deleting them seems to be a bit tricky, too.

Edit: Playlists created on the phone are stored in a single binary file in \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AdioManager_Eng.vol
