Does someone knows any application or way to play Nokia .amr sound files into Qtek / Windows Mobile?
I didn't find a way till now. Only one application to convert the file formats.
However I'd prefer to play directly.
Patents limitations!?
Also some specific .wav files doesn't play with WM2003 and WM2005. Why?
Thanks

Hi, I have Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Media 10, and a Windows
Mobile 2005 Pocket PC (the HTC Universal/O2 Xda Exec). I also had this
problem with the Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition Smartphone (SPV C500).
When I set WMP to auto-sync TV to my device, although the 'Synchronized to
Device' list shows the show with e.g. 1.58GB of size, on the device itself
it is just a 9KB file and unsurprisingly does not play.
I have all the default settings for WMP to compress the TV recording
automatically to smaller size etc., and have a 1GB SD-Card in the device.
What is going wrong?
Anybody?!
are you selecting your SD card instead of your device when synching? this happened to me once. when you insert your device, you'll see you device and your sd card. you should select the latter
Thanks but I was using Storage Card.
Have just fixed this -- turns out WMP10 doesn't like NVIDIA's NVDVD decoder. I installed the newer version below and it now converts correctly!

If anyone could let me know how you like your Tytn, I would appreciate it very much. I'm currently selling my Qtek 9100 and T-Mobile SDA because the network speeds are too slow for what I need. I'm thinking of buying Cingular's soon to be released version of the Tytn or the Treo 750 and am trying to get some feedback from current users of the Tytn.
One of the things that bothered me with the 9100 was the processor speed and that the phone seemed to disconnect periodically during phonecalls. Are you experiencing these same issues w/ your phone?
I have a TyTN and its cool and all, but I'll be checking out the Treo for the static keyboard even it means a lower res camera, no WiFi, slower processor, and BT 1.2 instead of 2.0
Tytn is a great phone, but...
Hi, I have a Vario II (T-Mobile's TyTn) and I love some of the things it can do, but the software integration has some bugs that don't really take advantage of the processors inside the TyTn. My previous mobile was a SE 910i and it worked like a charm with the UIQ and the 5-way wheel. The TyTn is capable of a lot more, but you will need to invest on software, and do some tweaks to make it more reliable. The TyTn is not the problem, you can blame the WM5, which is kinda bloatware. The potential to be one of the best mobiles is there, it just needs 1 or 2 updates to the ROM to make it really shine. Just so you have an idea of what I can do with it and I like: play GBA, GB, Nintendo, SNes, Genesis (megadrive), PS1, C64, Amiga, DOS and many others. Office suite comes with the mobile, Wifi, 3G, hi speed 3G, IE, push email, and you can do video calls.
What I don't like: only wma for ringtones, alarms, etc (tweak to use mp3 exist, but you are still limited to the folder where the ringtones are, no using the sd card for ringtones storage); sometimes it behaves too much like windows, with crashes, slowdowns and all that for no apparent reason; if you are using 3G, phone call does not go through (if there is a fix please someone let me know); Divx or other movie formats playback is not working properly; if you pause, RW or FW the movie, you loose audio or other problems show up so you have to restart the movie. You can read the forums for other problems. Don't get me wrong, I love the device and I can only imagine how good is it going to be once they fix the problems.

Sorry but this is manifestly untrue. if you load your MP3 files either to \Storage Card or to \Storage card\My Documents, they are recognised and available for use with no hacks at all. Have been using this on mine since I got it three weeks ago.
Treo - no wifi, maybe HSDPA ..

Do you play with the keyboard? Or the keys on the front? Any problems with simultaneous button presses?
I am trialing both
Treo Cons :No Wifi; No HSDPA; 300MHz processor; smaller screen; proprietry powersupply plug; proprietery USB cable
Treo Pros: Nice keyboard; Slimer; Nice speakerphone
Hermes: Wifi ; HSDPA; 400MHz; larger screen; PTT; etcc
Cons: bulkier;
Treo Camera: 1.3 mb
Hermes: 2.0
Games and MP3
Well thank you for the MP3 tip, I had my music in My Documents, but on a my music folder and I was not able to see the music, I have been looking for this for a while!
The game emulators vary in terms of how easy it is to map the keys, but once they are mapped I had no problems playing some emulators/games with the keyboard (Snes and Genesis), or the navigation control (Pocket Scumm plays like a charm, highly recommended). Also customization is amazing with programs like wisbar or pocketbreeze.
(i have a cingular 8125 with a 2gb mini sd card) ok.. so i have the movie on my computer.. i have shrunk it to bout 800mb.. and it opens with quicktime.. quicktime doesn't have the right codec to play it therefor i downloaded VLC.. a program which supports it and will play the movie.. the aspect ratio is 320X240 but from here i don't know what to do.. i'm kinda new at this but would love to learn do i need to download any applications on my phone or will windows media player support it..
What you need is . . . . .
Pocket DivXEncoder : http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1224
and . . . .
TCPMP : http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Pocket DivXencoder allows you to convert the files and TCPMP allows you to play the files. Both are freeware. A 90 minute movie will come out at about 200Mb.
the movie is on my mac.. not my pc.. and i don't know how to get it off of it because the quciktime movie has to be opened with VLC for it to play
Welcome MacHead
Ahh....the trials and tribulatioins of us superior beings....
Well, to make this short, you basically have 3 options to choose from.
1. Use an adapter to transfer the files directly to the card. You will need 2 adapters actually. One for mini SD ->SD and another to connect SD-> USB. This is probably the easiest and most straight forward method
2. Get MissingSync for WindowsMobile. This option is only valid if you want to also sync playlists with iTunes and PIM information with iCal and Address Book. The reliability of large transfers is sketchy but I think it works very well on newer Macs.
3. "That's what you got wifi for" If you Mac is connected to a network that has a wireless access point somewhere on it. You can "download" the movie from you Mac over wifi. I have done this a few times to get around the sketchiness of MissingSync. You can also transfer the file from your Mac to your PC and use ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. I can give you more info. After you pick a specific option.
hahaha, I love how mac people have to use WINDOWS Mobile... Where is your Mac OS Mobile? Hmmmm....?
hahaha
how to transfer > 220MB file to MDA
hi,
just download the program and converted 1 movie to about 220mb. I used activeSync to transfer files to MDA. For some reason, it can't be synchronized. Can anyone let me know how to transfer it from pc to MDA.
Thanks
when dealing with big files you should go purchase a card reader makes it 10x easier...check out my site in the sig for videos, ringtones and more.
Or you can just get a program like Card Export II which lets your Wizard (8125) act like a thumb drive and you can just drag the file to your storage card.
I use Card Export II and it works great on my Macbook Pro.
Pocket DVD Studio:
It allows you to rip just about any DVD to any size. You can make Windows Media files or .AVI files (which I prefer). You make them in the range of 125m to 225megs and you can fit a dozen movies on a 2g chip.
For the .AVI, you'll have to get a CODEC file for your PC, but that's free (XviD 1.0), and you'll have to download a different player than WM, but BetaPlayer, that they also provided free, is a FAR nicer player than WM. You don't have playlists and transfers and all that nonsense. You simply open the file you want and play it. Also BetaPlayer will go to Landscape mode just by tapping the screen. I just found out they now call it: TCPMP (and I see they have it for SmartPhones--wonder if it will run on my Samsung D-820?)

can the wizard play 3gp files?

I don't know...you need a different util to create .3gp files. They make one, but there's another called Super @ that is shareware. It's tricky to use but does work. You have to play with settings.
thanks.. i was wanting to put it on my card.. and then just play it from my phone.. but the mac won't play the avi file because it doesn't have the right codec.. so i have VLC on my mac and it will play on the mac.. and i don't know where to go from there.. if i put it on the card i didn't think windows media player would play it.. i don't know the step by step procedure.. i'm new at this so just call me blonde..
Dude....

TCPMP will play .3gp just fine. I think that the WMP version on the Wizard may also play .3gp since you can save your cam movies in that format. .3gp is a mobile version of h.264 or actually I think its actual name is h.263. Anyway if you get QuicktimePro (look for a serial code online). You can encode/transcode just about anything into that format. Oddly enough it even works on files that Quicktime claims it can not play.

Cool, I used to use these files on my old P900 and they seemed to compres really well...have to experiment a bit....
Mac Vidoe Converting
we macusers rock, and u just need visualhub, it does the job in about 15 minutes, in any code in any size, and of course, use tcmp for watching it on your ppc.
go versiontracker and grab visualhub
drag and drop the file ( whatever ist is) into it, choose the output size and codec and click run, u can send it dircetly to your storage card by choosing the output folder.
