I've noticed on the sidekick when you open or close the lid, it plays a sound, is there a way to get the PPC-6700 or Apache rather, to do the same?
Thanks in advance.
Yes there is. It is called SlideSound.
When I installed Helmi's WM6 he had it packaged with the ROM. Works great. Although it isn't anything fancy. Howver, with this program you can change the sound to any .wav file that you like.
hmm i have helmi's wm6, but i never seen a slidesound, where is it located?

recently the Eten M600 team came out with a ROM upgrade that allows for the PDA to utilize the phone speakers when using Skype. The user uses the PDA as a normal phone to make Skype calls without the use of headset or external speakers (where everyone around you can hear what the conversation is about).
Is such a hack possible with the HTC Universal? It would be really cool if we could use our PDA as a normal phone when talkin on Skype instead of relying on accessories if we do not want to use the speakerphone.
or am i just dreaming and if i wanted to, i would have to switch to the m600?

You can use the Universal as a normal phone when talking on Skype. It doesn't need any hacking or tampering. It never even occurred to me to plug the headset in before using Skype.
well for me when i use skype, the sound comes out from the main speakers and not the phone speaker which is what i want to. any ideas?
Bizarre!
You using the latest version?
yeah i am using the latest Skype which was released on Feb 14th. and my HTC Universal is loaded with the latest Qtek ROM which supports A2DP and Push-Mail.
Basically the sound comes out from the main speakers which are located on the same side as the volume slider, IR port and a few other buttons.
I would like to direct the sound to the speaker which I use when I talk on the phone on a normal phone conversation and without any accessories such as headset or BT headset.
Are you sayin that your sound comes from the phone speaker and not the main speakers?

Yes; when I use Skype on the Universal I use it in exactly the same way I would make a normal call i.e. by holding the phone to my ear like any other phone. The sound comes out of the speaker on the lid of the universal, not from the stereo speakers on the edge.
I'm using the latest ROM (Orange), the latest radio ROM and a combination of iMate and Orange Extended ROMs.
I am experiencing the same problem. I have the latest QTEK ROM and installed the latest version of Skype (2.0). When I make a Skype call the sound gets routed through the main speaker and not the telephone speaker. Also, when I try to connect my bluetooth headset Microsoft Voice Command gets activated and disconnects my bluetooth hands free connection after not recognizing the voice tag.
Well, the only thing that leaps off the page at me is the fact that you're both using the Qtek ROM whilst I'm using the Orange one. Could that be it, d'you think?
that could be one reason but i am not really keen at doin a full hard reset just to test it out. wonder what's the difference in ROM between the Qtek and Orange.
by the way, does your Orange ROM come with Skype pre-installed? or did you install it yourself?
Er...off the top of my head, I think I installed it myself.
hmm thats weird considerin that you are on the latest orange ROM because there are people with the same orange ROM who have sounds coming out from the main speakers and not the phone ones.
Another thought, though I can't imagine it'd make a difference, is that I only use Skype over a WiFi connectio, not GPRS.
i am also using SKYPE over a WIFI connection but it still comes out of main speakers. and even when I use 3G/GPRS, it comes out of the main speakers too. could you list out the programs you installed?

I think this is a known SKYPE mobile software issue and according to the SKYPE forum they are working to resolve this issue in their next release software.

i noticed your tomtom installation and i think you're using tomtom5.0 right? you mean you managed to get it to work with your universal? i only managed to get 5.21 to work with it.
No, I'm also running 5.21.
i see. thanks for the info.
well i went over to skype website and their developers said that the next release of skype will solve the sound coming out from main speakers problem.
hopefully that fix comes soon.
With apparently no reason, the phone's sounds start playing on about 1.5x speed. This is happening with all the ringtones and even if I play a file with WMP. And most annoyingly, when I call anyone (or being called), only the speakerphone works, no matter whether you turn it on or off. These two problems seem to go together. There are no apparent reasons nor for their start, neither for their end. Can anyone help?
Have you soft reset? What recent programs have you installed?
Soft Reset doesn't help at all. I have the same programs as on my previous Qtek S200 plus one very lite program for fuel consumption, which I run only about twice a week.
Well I am glad that you have the same programs on it as you had on your Qtek but that really doesn't help.
Do you have any program that has anything to do with sound installed?
What I meant is, that my old S200 worked just fine with these programs. Here's the complete list in reverse installation order:
CoreCodec CorePlayer
PocketX Photo Contacts PRO
DinarSoft MemMaid
LinkeSOFT Automobile
MASPware AutoManager

Chi-Tai Dang BatteryStatus TD-Plugin
Spb Backup
Opera
Infinite Dreams SkyForce Reloaded
Resco Explorer + Today Plugin + Registry Add-in + FTP Add-in

TofClock TodayPlugin

What I am wondering is if one of these programs is having an effect on the sound.
Did it happen after you installed a program or made any changes? Have you tried hardreseting?
Anyway, HTC announced they will be upgrading P4350 to WM6 soon, so I'll just wait and see what happens. Thank you for your advices.
Hello,
Have you managed to solve this problem?
I have the same problem now that I have upgraded to WM6 and I have not heard of anyone else with the same effect.
If you have found a solution, I would be very interested in knowing what you did.
Many thanks in advance
Nick
I am having this problem now too. The ringtone thing had happened many times before and was always fixed with a soft reset. But the speakerphone thing is a deal breaker, and now active sync is not even working. Any solutions to this yet?
No Sound - No Active Sync
Same problem here, my Herald doesn't produce any sound and ActiveSync doesn't recognise it. Someone got a solution?
Hey ppl, have you tried using the Active Sync Trouble shooter? Also be sure that your connections are reconized by your computer(usb controller which is in control manager) and that your pda is set to be read by cable/bluetooth, depending on what you work with.
Peace!
I have a vga device. axim x51v.
I downloaded the htc audio manager from the extracted OEM apps. it did not work on my axim. it gave an error message about missing components or certificates.
after much searching I found a cab that worked on my axim (this cab possibly had certain components or ran on all devices, not just HTC ones). But when I installed this audio manager it only took up 1/4 of the screen, like a qvga program. so I tried to use "forcehires" to make it fill up the screen. however "forcehires" gave a message saying that audio manager is already high resolution aware.
I am not using any vga hacks, btw. I am however running wm6, which is not the problem as the situation was the exact same in wm5.
Sooo, can someone with a vga device upload their audio manager. the specific files are as follows:
/windows/audiomanager.exe
/windows/audiomanager.exe.0409.mui
I would be so grateful somebody could upload them.
(bit of a long post, but I wanted to nail it down)
come on guys. it can't be that hard to upload a file or two.
I really like the simplicity of audio manager.
Hi legoman,
Also I've a axim x51v running WM6, but I have not had success to get work any HTC app. Where do you find this audio manager cab? Have you had success to get work HTC Home pluging? Thanks in adv.

try this cab file. it runs but, only shows up on 1/4 of the screen.
hate to do this guys but;
BUMP.
can anyone post the above two files from their device. its a desperate plea.

I've been using noteM 1.21 on an Axim X51v for a few years to record classes. It's one of my favorite programs, and works fine on the WM5 Axim despite having been written for PPC 2003. Now I've gotten a Sprint Touch with the stock ROM; I'm very happy with it, but NoteM won't work correctly on it. It seems to install okay, and everything looks fine with the interface when it's running, but it makes terrible recordings (distorted and filled with clicks). Is anybody using this program successfully? I've seen a number of reports of success on other WM6 devices.... I've tried installing from a .cab file and through Active Sync.
i found this on other forum.
For anyone who cares you CAN use Skyfire on a non-cellular PDA, such as an iPaq, a Dell, etc. My father who has an iPaq wanted to listen to a local Radio station which streams online via a flash plug-in. I new IE wouldn't work so I tried Skyfire on my Mogul and sure enough it worked.
So, I installed Skyfire on his iPaq just to see what kinda error we would get and it just said it couldn't open some junk, can't remember exactly. I looked around and I found some DLLs that only the phone version of WM has. They were phone.dll and sms.dll. I dropped them into /Windows and sure enough they work!
I have pakaged Skyfire with the two DLLs here in a zip, just install the cab then drop the two DLLs in the /Windows folder.
Merry CHRISTmas!

it works on my hp ipaq 214.
Dear Sir,
I have downloaded your file. And it works on HX2790b too. Really thanks!
I hate PIE always freezing.
This DLL files are great. Now most of the phone software like "profiles" or "touch shell" works!
Thx for sharing.
