Pocket Player now supports A2DP and AVCRP bluetooth....

Having a Universal with Bluetooth Stereo and Remote Control is excellent - but previously I was stuck with Windows Media Player, which as a music player, should really be taken out and shot.
I emailed both the creators of Pocket Music and Pocket Player, two excellent music players, but without A2DP and AVCRP support.
The Pocket Player people just got back to me, and supplied a DLL file which gives their player full bluetooth stereo support.

Strange, certainly works for me. I found sometimes, even in WMP, that it takes you to next or prev, or even tap the pause button on the main screen to get it working "initially".... then it's fine. Haven't had similar probs with Pocket Player yet....

Not working for me
I copied the DLL file in the Pocket Player's directory, itself in the Plugins section as WM Plugin adapter, if configured, one can also enable WM plugins to load. but the AVRCP is still not working for me.
I am using AnyCom headsets, they work with MediaPlayer and PocketMusic
I tried all buttons.

Tried your method. I can PAUSE by tapping the screen and re-start by pressing the PLAY button on my headphone but cannot PAUSE the music using my headphone button

AVRCP does not work when my QTEK 9000 (aka Universal) is closed i.e. NEXT/PREVIOUS does not work

Must say, never tried that - I keep the thing opened in a little Lowpro holder attached to the front of my rucksakc when I'm walking. I'm never walking without my trusty rucksack....

Its not working on my Qtek 2020 with WM 5.0. I have Jabar Bluetooth Stereo Headset and the AVRCP is working with WMP and Pocket music.

I have to be honest - when I emailed them initially with a fault description, I was only concerned with the Universal, so I'm not sure if they only gave me a DLL for Universals.... if it works on other devices or not, I'm not sure. But if not, email them, and I'mk sure they'll get a fix out.

So, I'm finally tired of T-Mobile's ROM

It keeps spazzing on the simplest things, not letting me use WMPlayer without restarting, and basically pissing me off to extremes never felt with my Dash.
I really want to try WM6.1, but I'm not so into losing my InternetSharing (that's helped me at the oddest times) or adding a ton of programs that come with a ROM that I'll never use.
So basically I'm looking for the cleanest ROM possible without going to Windows and begging for an update.
**Shiny phone buttons a plus.

you should try ttrans opentouch, he has some pretty good roms heres a link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939

You could try the Just2Clean by ivan. I think the zcink edition has internetsharing. It is BASIC, nothing but what you need for the phone to function; not even a calculator.
WARNING: Your phone has to be Hard-SPL and it flashes from the SD card.

@ bottom bar: just delete shortcut from startupfolder vjatodaytoggel.ink i guess
@ internetsharing und working MMS - use ITsPapaBlackWeather!
good luck

Here is the link for the Hard-SPL
It basically unlocks your phone and overrides the security check done while flashing. Just follow papamopps' instructions and you can flash nearly any Wing/Herald ROM you like.

I would appreciate of other alternatives or if by any miracle in how to run skype mobile 3 on Leo thanks

the xperia has a special version of skype, wich uses the internal speaker, however, installing it on any other device is not a problem, only when running it, it says that it's not compatible with this device..... so only for xperia.

Jep, Skype is working.
Bad sadly, as usual on Windows Phones, only with Loudspeaker not with Earpiece.

run attachment and all sounds will be in ear speaker. Solution for me to talk via Skype.

It's brill on the HD2. Miles better than what I remember on the iPhone. You can actually keep it running in the background
and it works with the bluetooth headset.

You run it... the leave it open and open Skype. All audio is then routed through the earpiece. You speak like you would on a normal phone.
Running skype alone without this would mean needing to use BT headphones or the headset or sound comes from the loudspeaker... THis app is extremely useful if you use Skype!!

i have the same problem on HD2, this sounds like a solution, i will try it. thanks for the file. otherwise i might just use the headset came with it.
chimpsinties,
Is this your GPRS Monitor capable of showing GSM RF related parameters like Field Test? Where did you download it? Is it capable of Monitoring UMTS too?
and a few more things with Skype:
#1
I have S2S lock and I like it as many times I forget to lock my phone, but it kicks during a Skype call and kills audio... dont want to disable S2S, nor want to put my phone on charger.
There is a option in Skype's Menu/Setting, namely "Prevent device stand-by mode when online". Changing this parameter does not seem to make any difference...
#2
How can I get Skype to remember my password? However I dont want Skype to start up automatically
#3
auto change between landscape and portrait modes based on G-sensor is possible somehow?
thanks!

The GPRS traffic monitor has the following options that are not configurable. You can select between what's there but you can't add more yourself. I guess it auto detects what's available cos when I had the TMobile shim in it knew to look for that connection instead. This is just a trial version but does what I need it so I've not looked into what the pro version gets you.

You just select the connections you want to monitor and what your limit is, when your billing date is.
Then it lets you know how much you've used that day/month/total etc

Thank so much for the file,, it worked very well with my HD2

Slacker Radio from leaked TMO HD2

I found this over at PPCGeeks, finally be able to get rid of Pandora and its crappy UI =D. But I'm getting weird graphic glitch by the song titles, everything else seems to work well though. Maybe compatibility issue with 6.5.5 can someone try it out with 6.5 rom and see if you have the same issue?
Soft reset after install.
latest version here

just tried it. everything seems fine with me. using 6.5

no. i just created an account within the app and that was it. works fine, except for the stupid 6 skips per hour limit (like pandora has).
if you want more features, you can upgrade, but the basic features are free and all you really need are basic features... unless you want to look at lyrics or something.

I might just reflash to 6.5, the bottom start button must be causing the graphic overlap. You can get around the 6 skips per hour thing by just changing station and change it back instead of using the skip button, couple of extra steps but hey it's free.

Sweet! Thanks. Seems to work fine on my tmo tp2 with tmo 6.5. Kinda slow when you launch a station. But still cool.

thanks working fine on my t-mobile tp2 with stock 6.5 upgrade

can someone post some screen shots?

thanks for the post

THANK YOU!!!!!! Works good on sprint TP2 running feb 7 23xxx Energy Rom
I see what you mean by graphical glitch it is kind of annoying but I'm loving this and who know maybe someone out there will rip it apart and put it back together for 6.5.x. It's still totally usable! I'm going to assume that I would have to upgrade in order to have favorites or make custom stations.
I just wonder why it's like that I have would have enough room if the pause,skip,etc would just slide down a few millimeters....oh well
Thanks again for putting this up!
Weird after going to the slacker radio website I couldn't even find anything for a windows mobile phone but whatever I just came back to report that if you go to the site you can put together custom stations!!!!! F88K Yeah!!! Better than pandora!!!

The graphic glitch is there probably because start and softkeys are bigger in 6.5.x so it's pushing up on the program, it looks perfect in 6.5 though according to those screenshots posted earlier.

I figured that much but there is still space there. Not a big deal. This will push pandora to the side. (For me at least) It is just so much more finger friendly and sounds great!
This was the first I even heard of this. I read about the ebook earlier in the week but this was never talked about. I would think this would be a big deal because if you go to slacker radio . com there is no option for ANY type of windows mobile phone...either way a very good find.

this is so awesome
thank god for this, it blows pandora away. great UI, great sound quality, and all the info on the band. it is so great. everyone needs this for their tp2.
tp2 needs more apps like this!!!!

Just wanted to report back from a QVGA device. I can login with my Slacker account just fine and station selection is actually usable. The Now Playing screen cuts off all the player controls and most of the artwork, so you can't actually skip or pause music, but if that doesn't concern you then it works pretty well.
Its probably wishful thinking, but I don't suppose there's any way someone could hack this up for proper qvga?

I can not get is to skip on touch pro
Any touch pro users that have used the app and can make it skip the songs?

Works with Sprint tp2 stock rom
Just want to report that it's working perfectly on sprint 6.1 stock rom tp2. Sound quality is real good and the next song connects faster than pandora. Only problem right now is this 6 songs skip limitation. I don't think i will be using pandora anymore. Thanks bobafuzz.

Installed on Sprint TP and player controls are cut off. No way to skip, pause, etc. Plays music well though... Can't wait for a fixed version on VGA.

Q
GOODBYE PANDORA!
Looks like I finally understand why Blackberry users had it so good with Slacker Radio, but no more. WM is in the game and we got Slacker Radio just as good as the rest of you.

HTC sync 3.0

Did anybody tried the new htc sync 3.0 with htc hero on android 2.1? They say on htc official site that it's working on htc devices with android 2.1 but on web it's said that this update is just for htc wildfire. I cannot download it for a trial for the moment.

I think I got the answer and I will wait. By the way, HTC sync really sucks!

I wasn't using any sync before hand but it's always wise to uninstall anything you have application wise before installing the new versions.

Not true - if the application is written correctly it shouldn't matter whether you have an old version installed. It is incredibly rare than a new version of software will break older ones unless they explicitly state that it will (i.e. there has been a major code/structure change).

It is not a Microsoft update, so it won't break older code.

It's not true. Well on forums I see people doing 'upgrades' to applications and I see people face problems all the time doing it this method.

When you consider how many of millions of people update their software like this and out of that you might get a few thousand with problems you're still talking a very minor amount. There is no need to uninstall every app you want to update. This would take ages. I don't care if you want to do it for every app you update but don't recommend this to others as its just going to put people updating software when they should be.
And i've never had a problem updating java, vmware or flash (even using the beta versions) from older versions to newer ones. Java used to leave behind the old ones but it never negatively affected a system (aside from filling up the hard drive). VMWare is worthless anyway (get VirtualBox - support the open source community). Flash is made by Adobe - of course its going to have issues - they make software for Mac's then break the software and release it for PC. Having said this I very rarely have an issue with software updates unless it is explicitly stated on their website that it requires you to uninstall before updating.

Hey guys,
The HTC Sync DOES and DO work with HTC Hero.
I did uninstall the previous version and drivers and installed the new one. Yes it does tell you that its not recognized and the HTC Sync is not found on your computer when the phone trying to search for it. But I left it connected to go and search on Google to find out why, Guess what .. It run by itself telling me that I have Hero phone and what I should call it!!
Now I am syncing my stuff and its just working fine, just leave it for 2-3 minutes and it show up by itself

It might not work with that ROM, try asking someone to try it who is using that ROM to see if they get the same effect.

Yeah thought this so going to try the orange 2.1 rru,
Will report back later tonight.

I've tested it with VR12, it doesn't work. Tried it with 2.1 RUU and it worked.
