Well not sure how, but i get them lol. I've been signed up for a while now so can't really say why... just do... sorry, thought it was the norm as it's not just me, thats the only reason now i keep paying, as i said it's an album a month for free and i don't listen to albums, more tracks then mix with them. so Zune Pass is great for that. 320kb most tracks, for an audiophile it's bliss on this phone with it's audio decoder and a cracking set of headphones.

I can't agree more you can't burn DRM protected music to CD lol. *sigh* i'll just leave it at that for you.
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
With Zune Pass, do you download songs to the phone?Or can you only stream them,thereby needing to use your data allowance everytime you listen to a song?
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
You can choose to download the songs to your computer and then sync them with your phone; or download directly to your phone over the air; or stream them to any Zune Pass enabled device (Windows Phone, Xbox 360, computer).

If you're worried about preserving your data allowance, the best way is to download songs to your computer and then sync them to your phone.

If you download the songs, they're stored on your phone/computer until you remove them. If you stream them, they're not stored locally. If your Zune Pass expires/is not renewed, any songs that you've downloaded will remain on your device until they are deleted; i.e. they don't 'self-destruct', they just 'self-disable'.
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Basicly exactly same as gcaw said....

From Site - go get the trial pass...

https://live.zune.net/en-GB/account/buySubscription

***Your Zune 14-day Trial Pass gives you unlimited access to millions of songs at Zune Marketplace. Stream on Xbox 360 and stream/download on your PC, Windows Phone 7, and Zune player as many songs as you like and listen to them for the duration of your trial. You won’t be charged: your trial pass expires after the trial period. It does not automatically convert to a Zune Pass subscription. To continue enjoying Zune Pass after the trial, you'll need a full Zune Pass. Some songs and other content in the marketplace are not available via Zune Pass. Available content may vary over time.***

And yes... download uses your dataplan if your on 3G and not wifi, if you at home or ANYWHERE with public wifi. just turn off data connection and use WIFI.

t-mobile 3GB allowance is nice. it's like 764 songs "IF" you could/wanted that many in a month....
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
I can't seem to find out how to download songs on my phone. I can see how to buy them, but I don't see an option to get the DRM-protected version for free.

I can see the option on my computer however, just not on my phone; am I missing something?
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:

from 0:48 secs is the bit i think your referring too ?

*ignore the end about conspiracy theories lol* i'm sure this is one of the things they will listen too *hope*
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
Ahh brilliant. That makes sense I guess.

Thanks btw.
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
No worrys found it last night randomly, so was freash in the mind ;)
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
What is the quality like when streaming?

With only 8GB of storage(or more like 6GB?) I guess it makes sense to stream music rather than download it.

I guess it will depend on signal strength, but is it a generally a pretty smooth experience? Not a lot of buffering?
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
In a 3G+ Area it's perfect, Buffers the tune to your phone in like 15 secs, and hasn't buffered for me once YET *TOUCH WOOD*. IF it did, i would just take the time to download the track which takes about 15-20 secs anyway.

I've been playing Zune on the PC as an experiment to see how many tunes you can play in a day BACK TO BACK !

It's 223 tunes = 23h - 15m..... which at 4mb each average is 892MB..... That's a bit far away from 8/6gb isn't it... at that rate. you could fill your phone and listen to it for a WEEK listening to tunes back to back ALL day and NIGHT! every day...*if the bat held out lol*

So anyone saying 8gb/6gb isn't enough is just being silly....

Same idea of a car... who buys a light fast sports car and loads it in with everything from the caravan HUH ?
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Just taken out the 14 day Zune trial.Can download songs on my PC, but cannot download them on my phone.

When I long press on a track the only options are

Buy and Share:confused:
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
if you check the last post on page 2, mwako has already kindly provided the answer..

connect your phone to the pc and sync and then you should be able to download or stream..
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Connected,synced,no download option on phone :confused:

Edit:Also,when clicking the Play arrow, I only get a preview of the song not the whole song.

Seems to work fine on my Xbox 360
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
have you tried restarting the phone?

i actually downloaded a few tracks on pc, synced them to WP7 and restarted my phone and it seemed to work...

i don't know which step makes it work but it worked..you could try that?
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Ummm no I didnt. I read somewhere that resetting the phone might do the trick,so did that and it seems to be fine now :)
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
Make sure your Phone is listed as a Zune Device in the Zune software settings.

Plus the Zune subcription email address HAS to be the primary phone ID as well.

@mwako

You lucky b*****d :)

My US zune pass just ran out so i swapped to a UK one, I'm still alittle p****d about loosing the 10 free tracks.

Thanks for the tip on Zune pass .wma's playing on other devices.

Gonna try that on an old Creative Zen (when I find it)
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Why is it that some songs I cannot stream, yet I can download them?

If I stream all I get is the 30 sec preview.
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
Everyone without a Zune pass can stream for 30 sec's, on the phone, in a browser and in the Zune software.

So if you have a Zune pass and thats all your getting, your Zune pass is NOT setup right.

As I said in my last post...
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
All set up correctly.

Most songs I can play without a problem.

Some(mostly new songs,but older ones too, such as all Metallica tracks) only play for 30 seconds.Those same songs download fine,its just the streaming that doesnt work as ( I would have thought) it should.

Edit: This is on both my PC and Omnia 7.Could it be a licensing issue?Sounds odd if it is, as it wouldnt make sense that I can download those same songs.
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
I've noticed that certain songs/artists/albums are not available for free download, but only to buy, and these are the songs that only allow a 30-second preview.

That's my observation anyway, I've only had mt zune pass for a few days.
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
The sound quality doesn't change but I've noticed there seems to be an issue with the buffering. It only seems to buffer whilst playing and even connected to WiFi sometimes makes the song quite jittery.

It's already been said but it does take literally a few seconds to download the songs and you can always delete/redownload it.

There's still a problem with the Radio ROM and both my brothers get the same problem (same phone) where it can't hold a HSPDA connection which makes streaming over the network quite impossible.
[Omnia 7 General] saldawop:
Yeah, but my issue is that I can,if I wish, download them for free.I just cannot stream them.TBH its not a major problem,I would just like to know if thats how it should be.
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
Hmm, I haven't noticed that, unless it's an "album only" download.

I don't think that's how it should be :s

Is it all songs?

If you have an example I could try and see if it's the same for me.
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
Hey saldawop,

I'm now getting the same thing.

I was showing my Omnia to some relatives tonight and alot of the older albums/artists would only play for 30secs.

On a side note,

I updated my Zune 8 and linked it to my UK Zune pass, and the Marketplace completely disappered from the menu. So not even any 30 sec previews on that now.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
So I've asked this before back when I had the Moment, but why can't I stream to BT on a non-A2DP device? No before answering the obvious, I experience the same things on the Epic that I did on the Moment where if I have music streaming, playing from the SD, etc and a call comes in, the music will automatically pause and I can take the call. Once I end the call, I the music will play for about a second or more through my BlueAnt Z9i BT and then it will revert back to the stock speaker on the phone itself. So what is preventing someone from taking advantage of that lapse of time where the music is coming through the BT and make it happen all the time? I'm sure there are COUNTLESS people who could use and benefit from this instead of buying a dedicated BT, I might be able to stream wireless from my phone to my car stereo (BT calls capable, but I cannot stream directly to it as an input), to my PC (which has BT), etc. Just throwing it out there since I've always wondered why we couldn't capitalize on the second or two and make it a normal operation. I tried to break this post into a couple of paragraphs, but the site wouldn't let me. Anyways, thanks all.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
I would also be interested in this. I was able to do this with windows mobile so there's no doubt that it can be done on a non a2dp headset.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
The fact that it happens, even for a second, tells me that something is delayed that is telling it to stop. Telling it to start might be in a whole different ballpark, but point is, it should be possible. I've got 3 different BT's floating around my house...one in the house sitting around on my desk, one that I always take with me in the car (gotta be safe, ya know ;)) and another I keep in the garage incase I get a call while I'm working on something and/or out mowing the lawn. I'd love to even be able to be following around the GF (shoot me now) while she's shopping...imaging how much better it would be to be able to play music or hear my games without people around me knowing the wiser. I don't want to have to buy and then wear a stereo headset.
[Epic 4G General] >MR.T:
App in the Marketplace called "BTSwitch" works on my devices. try out the lite version first theres a little audio flaw with the stereo music being converted to mono (i'm guessing) but then i'm an audiophile.
[Epic 4G General] keeepinitgansta:
The only bt switch i see on the market is a widget to turn bluetooth on and off. Could you have been referring to a different app?
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I'm trying this as well at the very moment. I only see one app with that name and I don't see anything referencing a lite version. My BT doesn't even like to connect while this app is installed, causing the normal BT settings to not even allow it to pair up. I had to remove the app and reboot the phone to get the BT to connect through the normal Menu > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth Settings before it would connect again.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I know this may not be the best timing to bump this w/ all the Froyo excitement, but I'm sure myself and others would like to see this happen. I've still got my fingers crossed that maybe someone on the sidelines could help. :D
[Epic 4G General] MILcityBoi:
It's called Super Mono BT.....They have a Froyo addition as well as a "free" edition...Free addition is just a 5 day trial, after that it's 2.99. It works fine but it's not in stereo so it sounds like AM radio, LMAO. Worth a shot though just to try.
[Epic 4G General] m5james:
I was able to install the app, but it doesn't work for me...yet. The problem is that is requires Cynanogen Mod and I don't have that since I've (as of yesterday) flashed my phone back to stock DI18 while waiting for Sprint to send me an OTA notice to update to Froyo. I was WAY too buddy via the download available here, so I guess I wait to use this BT app. Thanks for the reply though, I look forward to being able to use it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
These changes have been merged into the latest nightly. Expect to see it in the new dinc build on 11/30/2010.

-------------

Hey fellow dinc users. We've been complaining for too long and now we can complain no more (or some more)

I've made a patch that fixes the led notifications so that green and amber blinks now. You can flash this over any version of cm 6.

The led blinks like stock, but the blink rate is not configurable.

-Flash in succession works for different notification colors.

Flash like any zip. Be sure to back up.

Bug: There seems to be an issue with the led light colors not being properly set by CM settings.. Here is a possible solution:

Devs: I've started a Gerritt issue for the fix. I'm not sure if I broke things for other phones.. so hopefully there'll be more contribution from other devs to get this into cm6.1..... update- they didn't like my generic liblights fix, so I've made a device specific one for our inc. It works right now, but I will clean up the file when I get a chance.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Do you think this will work with RUBY?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
I think it should. But please let us know if it doesn't!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Let me do a backup and I'll try it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
nice.. much appreciated! what's left in terms of issues? just the cam force close or are there others? once the cam's fixed.. i'd like to use cm as my daily
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
The camera really only fcs for 720p recording with autofocus. I might look into it over Thanksgiving.

The led issue was just really bugging me and I was getting impatient lol..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
No, go. When I get a text it doesn't blink, or even stay on like it did.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Sorry man, there must be other changes in Ruby that I don't know about. Have you tried changing the colors of your notifications? The driver only responds if it's green or red.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I don't believe Ruby allows you to change the color of your LED. We only have two anyway :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
You should try an led tester or handcent. An app that lets you change test the color of the led. I could recode the patch to default to green for all other colors, I believe that would make it work for MIUI. Pm me if you're willing to try it..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I think many users may want it blink for Ruby. Though, it does work just fine as it is being only solid. Reason I sorta perfer that is I'm not being tricked into thinking I have a notification. When it blinks I have to always take a second look at it :p

I tried LED Tester, only colors we have are green and red.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
For the apps that have built in LED configuration, like handcent and kik. THey wouldn't even have the orange LED blinking right, which leads me to have it set to no blind in CMsettings and the app settings.

Will this fix work with those aswell?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
I'm not sure what you mean, but I can use handcent's settings to set the led color. Only green and red work though. For the apps that don't have a way to set the color, I can control it using cyanogen's settings under the led notifications menu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUViper:
I added some review comments in Gerrit for you. When I tried it myself, I wasn't able to get it working until I uncommented your BLINK_FILE writes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
This b0rks the green LED when charging above 90% Now both orange and green are lit.

Also rather then plain green flashing I get nothing :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
When remove the comments, don't the blinks go sporadically?

I intended for the leds to be able to have both red and green, but it looks rediculous so I'm going to fix it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUViper:
I'm not sure what you mean by sporadic. It's a quick blink about every two seconds, longer off than on. But with your comments in place, I don't get anything blinking lights at all. The solid charge light works, but blinking notification doesn't.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Interesting, try setting different blink rates, it definitely works!

I'm posting a new version fixing the issue with both lights showing up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUViper:
Ok, this is weird. I built your second patch from Gerrit, pushed it out, rebooted, and then suddenly I was getting the opposite of before, now a long blink on with a short off. So I went into Advanced and chose "Reset all colors and apps", and now I can't get anything to blink at all. I'm about to give up and let you and others figure it out...

Can you tell what all the settings are for you? I have only the default "Miscellaneous" category, and I've tried "Always pulse" on and off. The other Advanced settings don't look like they should matter, but I have the rest all off. Then I go into the applications list and choose Gmail, set it to green or red, choose any blink rate, and then "Flash test" does nothing. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
You should get a long blink with short off..

I just repeated what you did..

Reset all notifications,

Goto led settings for gmail,

Test flash does nothing,

pick green..even though it was already selected...

Test flash and it worked..

Not exactly sure why it doesn't work for you. lets see what the others say.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I'll download the fix and new nightly and try it... first thing tomorrow morning xD I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes!

On another note, seanzer, you seem to really know your Android / Linux stuff. Or at least, better than any of us do... Have you considered seeing about taking over for Koush and being the official maintainer of CM for the DInc?

Not to bash Koush, but he seems to have lost interest in the DInc. For example, we've been waiting so long for just this LED fix. And it turns out be a few lines of code...

I can't help but think that if Koush had the time, he would've fixed this long ago. For the record, I don't know yet if your LED fix works or what yet, but at least it's actively being developed, and it certainly sounds a whole lot better than how it was before.

Just something to think about =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jtcarnes:
This.

We desperately need someone to take over on this device. I don't know squat about code besides how to kind of read it and how to tear **** up REEEEEALLY well. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
I would like to help out too

I'm in the process of learning codes and kernel compiling

Just got here from the eris

Also I think it would be best to form a team to replace koosh.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] djh816:
Koush still plays a large part in development on many devices and should continue to do so. That being said, it is also the Cyanogenmod team's normal behavior to select a single person as "THE" maintainer for a specific device. And seanzer, you clearly are able to go through a code base and find what needs changing so with more time and familiarity with the CM code base, I agree, it might be worth taking over the maintainer spot for the Incredible and get our device a little more CM love :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
what are you trying to say here

koush is moving on to windows phone 7 soon

we know how cyanogens team works

and are you assuming seanzer knows how to compile kernels from source

its not that easy

if you look around some devs are forming teams because its easier and

they don get paid enough to do full time support. a team would be better

im not sayin a team is joining cyanogen
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Haha you guys are awesome :)

I have been compiling the source with patches from gerritt, which is just slightly more bleeding edge than the nightlies..

The reason kush hasn't worked on the dinc is because there aren't any issues specific to it.. The led issue affects all msm phones and the camera issue is across the entire platform..

I would love to be the maintainer, but out takes too much time. I will always be around to make fixes tho!

What we do need are testers to confirm my code changes on gerritt..so my updates can make it into the nightlies!

so please let me know how these fixes work for you so I can improve upon it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdiman:
Just wiped the phone, installed the latest nightly, rebooted and set the phone up, then installed your patch. I can't get the LED to light up using the cyanogenmod settings. I've tried both red and green, different flash rates. I've ensured quiet hours aren't set. Sent myself a text and no notification.

The Red LED does come on when I plug the phone in the charger, at least.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Very strange..

Do you have always pulse enabled?

Are you over clocked?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdiman:
Always Pulse: yes and no (tried both)

Overclocked: SetCPU installed, but just to bring up minimum to 245. Max is still 1ghz.

Just tried:

uninstalled SetCPU, reboot, wipe dalvik cache, battery pull

No luck.

Next: Bingo:

Set a custom color (somewhere in the pink-red range). Got a red LED immediately.

Now flash color, blink rate work as advertised.

Hopefully that helps narrow down the issue me and CUViper are seeing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Very Interesting.. I'm going to quote you in the op because I believe many people will have this issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
If you guys didn't see.. the camera fixes are being merged into the nightlies. Continuous auto focus is being worked on, but infinity focus works fine in the camcorder! Should show up tomorrow.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/516 (merged)

Now if only we can get more people to notice the led issue :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Followed the OP, works perfectly! =]

I actually prefer this kind of blinking, where it's mostly on, and then turns off and back on after 3ish seconds. I can now just take a quick look, whereas before I would have to stare for a few seconds to make sure nothing's blinking.

Excellent work! :D Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
hey seanzer.. i'm away for the holidays, but i'd gladly test your patches once i get back. i really appreciate you taking your time trying to fix these outstanding CM issues. i love that rom, but these remaining issues were buggin me :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUViper:
Weird, but yes, that fixed it for me too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
while this seems like a step in the right direction (since we now have the green led working), what we really need is something that works 'out of the box' similar to stock. Having to select a custom color and blink rate for each type of notification is quite tedious. Also, I'm a bit concerned that the longer LED on time used by this patch will negatively affect battery life vs the default CM pulse rate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Cm controls the blink rate. This patch just implements the correct logic to make it work.

The only way to make the led blink like stock is by eliminating the option to control color and blink rate.. Not sure if that is the intended behavior.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] david279:
Would this work on a EVO?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Theoretically yes, but please let me know if you try it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] david279:
Well im about to.....
