Mort uploaded a beta version of his player to the "bluetooth stock" thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=345791#345791
It enables you to:
- use your bluetooth stereo headset with your Magician (and probably other devices too?) without a pause between tracks
- use all buttons of the headset as for what they were designed
- use equalizer and effects with the bluetooth headset
- use both bluetooth and wired headset / speaker at the same time (if you want to, else you can automatically set volume to 0% at startup and reset it on close)
Installation:
- install BCHS bluetooth stack (backup your device if you wish to remove it later!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
- install at least MortPlayer 3.31RC4:
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/wmpdownloads/viewcat.php?cid=4
- overwrite the mortplayer.exe with the new one from the thread
- rename mortplayer.exe to WMPLAYER.exe (also modify all linking files and registry settings)
Installed BHCS, installed Mort, overwritten MortPlayer.exe with provided version, renamed to WMPLAYER.exe, but still no audio over headset
Did you select your headset at the "Audio" page of the bluetooth settings? Does Windows Media work?
everything is ok
but sometimes when i listen to music and the screen is off music suddenly dissappeared, and device don't react when i press hard buttons.
So i have to SR my device

Also, don't forget to check the "Stream audio to headset" option (or s.th. like that, it's German on my device...).
If your headset's not listed in the dropdown, you might need to update your device. I don't know whether it depends from the main ROM or the radio part, I updated both to 1.13 and now it works. With the previous versions the A2DP/AVRCP profiles weren't detected by the Microsoft stack.
My device has already updated to 1.13 ROM & 1.13 Radio )
Does your Magician get very warm? Playing MP3s and streaming via Bluetooth needs much of the cpu power, so maybe it is getting too hot or voltages are unstable?
sometimes very warm, sometimes not so much
Does this also happen if you use Windows Media and Bluetooth?
You could try whether this version is more stable. It implements more of the WMP object model, though still not the entire one (which is very complex...).
no, never
i'll try to use XCPUScalar or Xguru and will tell as soon as i get the results
This new version works fine.
Thx a lot.

Yes, AVRCP works now by using the WMP plugin, but only with this test version so far. Mort did not release a new stable version of his player (though this test version is very nice! ). That's why you don't find it on his site, but here (XDA-Developers.com ).
By "also modify all linking files and registry settings" I mean that if you rename the application to WMPLAYER.exe neither the link in the startmenu works nor the ones in the registry used in the file explorer for "open file". I could change the link in startmenu using "Resco File Explorer" like on XP. The registry settings can be changed by "open with" or directly with a registry editor.
its true, its true!!!!!!!
MORT you are definitely the greates!!!!
You fullfilled my strongest wishes!
Have you ever thought about selling your great software to HTC??
thanks a lot
phil
Your strongest wishes?
I'm very happy that this piece of software is freeware and that Mort is developing new features very quick. If he would sell it to HTC, they would put one version on a device and the newer version on a newer device - no chance to update. And I don't think they would buy it because it is very advanced. Maybe a "light" version with as much options as WMP would be a good deal.

Hi Unauthorized,
I have to uninstall completely my version or can I just copy the exe and rename it to wmplayer.exe ?
thx
I think you can simply install the new RC6 from Mort's site over the old one using the installer or the cab-file. Then rename the exe-file to WMPLAYER.exe so that the BCHS stack accepts the player for A2DP.

if you want use side slider on your XDA2 for something else then changing sound volume now you can do it (with some restrictions):
This utility unmap volume slider on MDA2/XDA2/iMate (and probably other PDAs).
Disclaimer:
By default side slider change system volume and can not be used for something else (only exeption is some games).
What it do:
This prog remove mapping of side slider on changin volume making possible to use it in other programs (scrolling pages in Haali Reader for example).
Installation:
Copy file unmap_volume.exe to "/Windows/startup" folder
soft-reset device
Uninstall:
delete file unmap_volume.exe from /Windows/startup
soft-reset device
How to map this slider in other programs/which programs are supported:
Side slider generates virtual-key codes 0x75 (equal to "F6" button) and 0x76 (equal to "F7" button). If your programm can use this buttons then it can use slider.
Is it possible to run programs by slider (like by ordinary application buttons)?:
No, maybe this feature will be implemented later.

Excellent!!!
This button is very usefull now!!!
This sounds like a useful trick - I never use the volume control, except accidentally while on a call :roll: . Can anyone say what applications they've found to use this hack? I don't have a lot of extra software on my machine - how many of the built-in apps could use the slider to scroll? Perhaps one line at a time in Pocket IE?
Very nice Thank You!!
Ive managed to change the registry entry in WMP so I can use it to change tracks.
To make it truly useful though it will have show up in the button assignment window.
Thx again

unfortunately this hack can be used in very few apps (see readme.txt) but v.2 is coming soon
Main feature of v.2 is driver, that remaps unstandart vKey codes (0x75 and 0x76) to the standart "application-buttons" range, wich make possible to use "volumeup" and "volumedown" buttons like calendar/contacts/camera/record button. the code I've at this monent is not 100% stable, and configuration interface is far from user-friendly, but it is quite workable, so final version will be released shortly.
Des, unfortunately the notification is not always working for new posts...
Can I be included in your mailing list (if takovoy imeetsya ) when new version v2 will be ready for trial?
Thanking you in advance (Zaranee blagodaren)

Des, good stuff!!! I also never use the slider for volume, but would be quite keen to use it in MS REader for Page Up / Page Down. Is that possible?
Just a question, Des. What registry settings are you changing or removing? A friend of mine has a PocketLOOX which has sliding buttons to be used for Up and Down - I would be keen to find out what settings he has got in the Registry...
farnold this hack isn't registry tweak so it dosn't change, create or delete any registry keys. unlike PPC2002 in WM2003 handling of keys with vKey codes 0x75 and 0x76 is hardcoded in shell32.exe and current version of hack just rollback RegisterHotkey() maked in shell32.exe
Thanks, mate. Well explained... so is there hope for using the slider in MS Reader at all?

i don't use microsoft reader so i can't tell you exactly, but if MS Reader is able to bind desired actions to application buttons (calendar/contacts/camera/record but NOT joystick/action) then most probably that you should be able to use volume slider in it (with next version of button remapper).
Hm, I think I will be left out then... I would think that SCROLL FOREWARD and SCROLL BACKWARD in MS Reader are nothing but JOYSTICK TOP and JOYSTICK BOTTOM ...
But that makes me thinking as well... you mentioned that you change something in shell32.exe... the PocketLOOX has a similar slider which does nothing but scrolling... maybe someone knows which function is required???
you mentioned that you change something in shell32.exe...

no i don't change anything in shell32.exe
let's make things a bit clearer: there is no problem to make volup/voldown dublicate joyUp/joyDown, but I'm not planning to include "per application profiles" in this version, so such remapping would be systemwide.
ps: why peoples are using M$ reader ? there are lot of e-book readers (iSilo, mobi pocket, uBook, Haali reader) that are (imho) much better than M$R, and there are converters from drm'ed .lit to open formats (plain text/xhtml/XML e.t.c.)... so WHY ?

And is there any hope to use it with XDA1 (T-Mobile MDA) - the volume button is stupid and absolutely useless! :evil:

Hello Des!
Привет Des!
Не могу ни от кого добиться - как переписать ROM 1.60 в O2 на новый ROM 1.72, который выпустила T-Mobile?
Подскажи, please, если знаешь.
Ну вы, блин, даете! xda-developers.ru? шутка! :twisted:
er.. WTF?
BTT: why not add to this tool to allow the slider to be mapped to custom keys? PageUp/PageDown would seem like an obvious choice to me, making it instantly compatible with the majority of readers, but others might want it to be mapped to other keys. All the same, PocketQuake could have PgUp/PgDn mapped to weapon changes
I have to say I find the In-Call volume control indespensible - some phone calls come through quite loud, while some come through very quiet.

Hey Prince.
Ti uveren chto hochesh upgrade to T-Mobile 1.72? Is it already official release or you want to try BETA? If BETA - run from there
Better find I-Mate 1.72 (official) - the fastest ROM i tried up to know...
As of how to upgrade - use http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/ER2003Edit to change the ROM Carreir ID to what you need for each of the roms included. More details can be found if you search the forum (ili mozesh poslat mne pm i ya postaraus tebe pomoch)

Hi to all people over here!
I have met such a problem with my Touch HD device:
As I have a wi-fi router, that I set up for each device to have predefined ip addresses when connecting, I have to enter ip address setting on my Blackstone too. When I do this for "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter" and some time later I am not able to connect to gprs/edge connection.
Exact repro steps: 1. Set Use specific IP address = true and enter "ip address", "Subnet mask", "Default gateway" fields. 2. Turn on and off "Data Connection" in Comm Manager to reconnect current GRPS/EDGE connection. 3. Try to enter some website in Opera(network connection error) or IE - this step fails for me as I cannot open any sites.
I have confirmed this bug by one of the users of russian 4pda.ru forum - he uses another russian rom. But we don`t have a solution to fix it. Maybe someone have met such problem?
I have the same problem.
GRPS works fine if I leave the WIFI settings to default. As soon as I change the WiFi adaptor to use a static IP and static DNS GPRS fails to connect. Does GPRS use the same DNS server settings as WIFI????
I'm using Duttys 2.2....
anyone else having this? I just chnged to Dutty's 2.3 and the bug is still there...
I expected everyone to be screaming about this bug. Am i really the only one with it???
i noticed same bug. It wasn't present in stock ROM.
Tested with ROMS based on build 21040 and newest 21042 and bug still there.
You defined problem correctly. 3G/UMTS data connection fails if you set manually settings under wifi config, that should be independent and not affect data connections, but it does. Is strange because browsing using IPs works, but domain names doesn't resolve correctly.
I think is some kind of dns-cache-network-config problem, but no solution found yet. Will post here if i find something.
Thanks. It seemed clear that it was a DNS resolution issue, but i can't see how the two are related...
Not wanna steal this tread but my new Diamond 2 / Topaz has the exact same problem. Not so strange since they're quite similar. I hope a fix will come soon, i've wasted alot of time narrowing the problem down
Thank you !!!!!!!!
YESSSS!!!! YESSSS!!!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!
I cannot say thankyou enough for this!! I've literally been pulling my hair out for days about this problem (well okay - not literally).
I've even been on the phone to Orange who ended up running a diagnostic on my phone from their end and questioning my ROM version (Miri WM 6.5 v13 - didn't go down too well!)
My phone is no longer a pocket brick. Thank you
anyone found a workaround ?
anyone found a workaround ?
use DHCP to get an IP-Adress
Thankyou so Much!!!
This thread is golden!!
Just like johncmolyneux, I too must thank you guys for this post! It has changed my life! For as long as I have had my Touch HD (almost SEVEN WEEKS) I have been tearing my hair out as well over this problem, constantly on the phone nearly every day to Orange UK customer services who were stumped over this problem but to their credit tried everything to solve it.
I have an Orange UK Touch HD with:
ROM: 1.19.61.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/25/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
I too have a wireless network where I need to define static IP addresses for devices which I now know is the basis for this problem!! Changed the settings in Touch HD to use server assigned IP (DHCP) after reading this post today and now GPRS/3G now works like dream!!
This now means that I have to reconfigure my network until there is a solution (if one becomes available) but should not be a big inconvenience.
I am speaking to Orange customer services on Monday so I will advise them to get their technical department aware of this issue.
Once again, thanks very much, this problem was stressing me out big time, spoilt my enjoyment of my Touch HD, it is now perfect!
Same Problem with my Blackstone since I upgraded the official HTC TOUCH HD (EU) ROM Release Date: 2009-04-07. IN the ROM before, there was no problem when i was using a static IP and DNS. Some other German and Swiss guys have the same Problem with their devices. I already sent a message to the HTC Support, but they closed my project without an answer. A few minutes ago I sent a second request.
In a german PPC board a guy has the same problem with his new Toshiba TG01.
@ALL
As a workaround you can use the application Wifi-Profiles to switch between static and DHCP.

Today I recieved a message from the HTC Support and they know this problem. They said MS changed something in the ROM and it's their fault.

TPSMP - The Pocket Stream Media Player -
- Version 1.0.0.2 -
TPSMP works on Pocket PC 2003, Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6.
This application allows you to play Radio and TV Streams with your Pocket PC. The streams are stored in a mobile database. You only have to choose a stream and click connect.
This application is written in Visual Basic.NET. So you need to install the .net runtime and sql server mobile.
You can get it from here:
.net runtime: Download!
sql server mobile: Download!
The player functions are hacked out from the windows media player.
..:: C H A N G E L O G ::..
TPSMP:
Version 1.0.0.2 (13.02.2009)
#Fixed: Install Directory
#Fixed: Anchor Elements to Screensize
#Fixed: Get Path (Database not found)

#Added: Button Clickstyle (Change Buttonsyle onclick)
Version 1.0.0.0 (11.02.2009)
#Added: First Release
Database:
Version 1.0.0.0 (11.02.2009)
#Added: First Release
Things are be planned:
- More default Streams
Note!!! This application will eat many of bandwith. So you should use Wifi, ActiveSync or flat 3G. Wont´t work very well with GPRS.
Download the lastest Version (1.0.0.2) from here: CLICK
Please comment or send bug reports!!!
If you like my work, please DONATE.
Thanks a lot ...
The default stream database will updated soon because a few streams dosen´t work yet.
Couldn't use it... Seems to have problems with my OS localization?! My system uses pathnames with chars such as "ã" and "ó". Does the app support full unicode? It complains it cant find the path to the database file which is in \A minha memória\TPSMP\Database...
Also noticed it doesn't install inside the "Program files" folder (or respective localization name) but rather installs to the root of the selected drive.
Could you tweak the position of the buttons and stuff so that they'll be right above the bottom bar? I have an Omnia (WQVGA) and there is empty space between the button bar and bottom bar...
What kind of media does it currently support? Also rather than using WMP wouldn't TCPMP be a better option? Either that or have built-in player capabilities like using ffmpeg for ppc...
Looking forward to try it

-> FIXED!
If you have an idea for tcpmp and ffmpeg plz talk to me.
Thx.
Sorry I have no idea... Not a coder.
Just thought that the ffmpeg.dll could be used to make TPSMP not depend on WMP. But for what I read in it's release thread the current compile has the network functions disabled... If it were to be used it may need to be recompiled with these functions active.
Nice to see you already fixed those
No prob. I will talk to milesmowbray. Maybe he can give me a hint.

Thx it works I like it I can even add my own Channels thats coool and it plays really really well better then TCMP for me no buffering
I'am very glad to hear this.
Thanks
mccoffein
TV works nice but for some reason I haven't been able to use radio... I usually get messages from WMP like "Access is denied" (Bayern), "The parameter is incorrect", "Unable to open file. The file is damaged or not supported by the player", "At the moment it's impossible to perform the requested action" (rough translation from portuguese message)...
I reckon the interface is not the priority at the moment. I have two small suggestions:
1- Fullscreen on image/video press (like TCPMP).
2- A small suggestion on the volume control. How about something similar to the way TouchPlayer on the Omnia does it (easier on the finger)? Volume bar pops up when the volume button on screen is pressed.
looks nice.
I will test it and report back

Hi all,
For everyone with the problem with TomTom Navigator whereby it only announces part of the directions, attached is a small application which provides a workaround.
It works by playing a short silent WAV file in a loop in the background, starting TomTom then shutting itself down automatically once TomTom is closed. This is basically the same mechanism as mentioned on another thread whereby a silent MP3 is played through a script in an external MP3 player but written as a self-contained program.
To run TomTom with the fix:
If you don't already have it, first install the Microsoft .NET 3.5 Compact Framework. Available as a cab here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2ZGV1DNJ.
Unzip the attached TomTom Audio Fix.zip and copy TomTom Audio Fix.exe into your TomTom Navigator directory e.g. "\Program Files\Navigator". You can then just run TomTom Audio Fix.exe which will automatically start TomTom.
This has been tested on TT 7.910 (9185) and 7.915 (9196), please post here if you try it out with whether it's working ok or you run into any problems!
Updates
v1.10:
- Icon refreshed, now displaying correctly.
- When run, TomTom Audio Fix.exe will now automatically generate a "TomTom Navigator.lnk" shortcut in the current directory. This can be copied directly over the installed TomTom shortcut in the start menu; saving the need to manually create a shortcut to the fix.
v1.11:
- Thanks to Mr_Q, this is now provided as a .cab file:
º Automatically copies file to TomTom Navigator directory and overwrites the shortcut in the start menu.
º Install the cab in the same location as you installed TomTom (eg. Storage Card), else it won't work.- Removed redundant change from 1.10 which created the TomTom Navigator shortcut.
Regards,
JDH
Brilliant. Thanks very much to you and those who figured out what the workaround was. Just goes to show what a marvellous place this Internet can be!
Filbert
Good work! Thanx a lot! I'll try it immediately.
Works really good on TT 7.915.9196
Thanx again.
What´s .NET 3.5 Compact Framework?
@JohnnyDH
Do I understand it right, after installing the fix I have to start the fix from explorer and TT will start automatically??
In that case is there a chance for a shortcut in programm directory? That would make it more easy than starting the programm everytime from explorer.
Thanks for the answer.
Rodgauman
Beside my question one post before, the fix worked fine. Only a shortcut would be fine.
I tried to copied the fix into windows\startmenue folder, but then the correct path will not be found.
I have navigator on my storage card installed. Path is in german:
Mein Gerät\Speicherkarte\Programme\Navigator
When I start the fix from there it works fine.
Thanks a lot JohnnyDH! This really does work great. Can I make a request? Would it be possible to change the icon of the file as it is of pretty bad quality now. I'd appreciate it very much.
@rodgauman
You will need to manually edit the TomTom shortcut in your windows\startmenue folder. Copy the TomTom Navigator.lnk file from the start menu to your PC, open it with a text editor, and change where it says "TomTom Navigator.exe" to "TomTom Audio Fix.exe" e.g. I changed mine from:
47#"\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe"
to:
47#"\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Audio Fix.exe"
Save the changes and copy it back replacing the original file. Unfortunately there are too many installation locations / languages etc for me to automate this!
@daffie
Not a problem, glad it is working for you! Good spot on the icon, it was extracted directly from TomTom Navigator.exe and I hadn't noticed. I will upload an updated version at some point in the next couple of days to give a few more people a chance to test it in case any fixes are required.
thank you man.
it worked for me too...tomtom 7.915.9196
@JohnnyDH
Thanks again, editing of shortcut worked fine!
Beside that I learned how to create a shortcut for other programms.
Great Job!
Thanks JohnnyDH
Work fine version 7.915.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! Today I did a testrun using TT7 and the voice now works like a charm...very happy about this fix!
Its working like a charm. Theres only one thing I noticed. When TomTom is started, it starts muted. Is this how its supposed to be?
have been waiting so anxiously for a TT voice patch! Many many thanks!!!
ps creating a high resolution icon would be nice, since it looks so ugly on new HTC program menu
Thanks a lot....this bug has been driving me crazy...works on TomTom7.450

Kudoos to you
Thankyou! this worked perfectly
This program can be configured to launch by a hardware button or with a link in your favorite program launcher.
What BTAudioNav does:
Turns bluettoth ON it it is currently OFF (Only Microsoft Stack)
Redirects all PDA audio to the car handsfree or tho the byke bluetooth helmet, etc.
Starts the GPS navigation program configured.
If while working a call is received, we can manage the call as usual.
Once the call is ended the audio is redirected again to the handsfree.
When the GPS program is ended, the audio is redirected again to the PDA speaker, the Bluetotoh radio is turned OFF if it were OFF initially and the program exits.
Configuration:
Copy the BTAudioNav.exe file to the navigation application folder.
Create a link to the navigation application executable in the same folder. For example, in your desktop, navigate to your mobile device, find the iGo8.exe file, and with the right mouse button select Create link. You can do also wiith copy/paste link in Resco explorer
Rename the link to NavApp. For example, if you have igo8.exe.lnk rename it to NavApp.lnk (maybe you can't see the .lnk extension but it is there).
Start BTAudioNav.exe
You can find BTAudioNav (free) in my page: http://beemer.sesma.eu/en/btaudionav.htm
Looks great!
Does it also work with non-A2DP headsets?
I'll try it out this weekend.

Currently not. BTAudioNav opens the HandsFree for reception and this blocks handsfrees that are also music devices.
Only calls disconnect the PDA audio. I'm working on this...

With Resco explorer it is simple: Hold over the exe file and "copy". Then "paste as shorcut" and "rename" as NavApp

BTAudioNav request for change
Hi Beemer,
Thanks for making this special kind of software and most of all for sharing it with others!
Do you still work on BTAudioNav or did you leave it "as is"? I would like to use is to route all my MDA Compact IV -audio (phone and navigation) to my carkit. That works fine, however:
Is it possible to make the connection with the handsfree-set only when the navigation-lady speaks? Because now my car-radio mutes as soon as I start BTAudioNav and I cannot listen to my car-radio when she has nothing to say.
Is there a way to use it in combination with HGPS-switch to (un)load BTAudionNav, HyperGPS and IGO with one click?
Thanks a lot!
