I have a wm6 phone with newsbreak installed but no internet data plan with my service provider. I usually use activesync as my means for downloading rss feeds and podcasts. The problem is that when downloading podcasts, newsbreak does not download the audio that is embedded in the feed. Is there anyway to automatically download the audio?
help please?

Does anyone know of a way to receive the BBC Radio 1 stream on the Magician
use Pocket Media Player 10 or Real player.. and enter the URL..that's it
I have tried that, hence the reason for posing the question.
You never stated that you had tried either of those options.
You haven't even stated what the problem is, error messages etc...
Ok good point PDA,
The problem is that I cant get Real player 1.0 or 1.1 to work with the bbc's stream of radio1, i have tried the website links but that just wont take me to the player and I have tried the r1live.ram & r1livev7.ram files with the player but it just says the connection faild and gives me a message about not being able to connect to server.

Do any other streams work?
Are you using T-Mobile for your internet connection? If so, open the .ram file with a text editor. Replace :554 with :7070 and it will work. T-Mobile blocks port 554 but not 7070. I'm using the so called 1.1 preview version (although it's been a preview for about 3 years.)
If you're using a NAT firewall, some of the older routers won't pass the UDP protocol correctly and that will also block the stream.
The BBC page will give you the option of listening in an external player. If that option is selected, Pocket Internet Explorer will download the ram file and open the Real Player. Save the ram file as in the future you can just click on the file and the BBC will start streaming.
I am able to use the Virgin Radio Stream, but not the bbc, I have an orange M500, but I do not intend to use it via GPRS, too expensive, I have so far only tried using the internet connection via active-sync, but my PC has no problem streaming it, I have just bought a wireless card, so will be testing that asap.
I downloaded Newsbreak today as a substitute for Avantgo, which is not WM5 friendly yet. Newsbreak looks really good in theory but I cannot sync it with activesync or wirelessly. Any ideas please?

I use it without problem with UMTS connection
Hi thanks for the reply. I assume, though, that you are having to pay to download the Newsbreak updates? I want to do it free over activesync or wirelessly via my network. This is supposed to be possible. Anyone know what settings etc?
Have got it sync'ing over wireless network now! It's excellent!
Device = Qtek 9000 aka Universal
OS = Windows Mobile 5.0
Location = USA
Provider = T-Mobile
GPRS = Unlimited Internet
Questions:
1). Is there anyway to turn on GPRS only from a shortcut?
- As of right now, the only I can turn it on is by opening a browser. I would prefer to be able to turn on GPRS connection with a push of an icon or a button.
2). Is there any programs that will allow streaming of music from shoutcast with streams that are 128kbps without pausing?
- Most of the streams that I listen to only broadcast at 128kbps. Are there any programs that will buffer in the background and not cause the streams to pause? Currently using TCPMP as the stream player and pauses a lot. Don't mind waiting a long time in the beginning for the buffer as long as the stream doesn't have any pauses.
I've tried searching for answers but didn't seem to find any posts on this after about looking through 10 pages of searches.
Thanks.
On question #1
Try Spb GPRS Monitor, it shows in the today screen a bar and amng other things has launch icons for data connection, PIE and e-mail.
Regarding question #1, there's a freeware program GB-SOFT Tweak that will add such a button to the GPRS bubble window (when you click the [G] icon). It's available for WM2003 & WM5 here:

Regarding GPRS, if you're trying to stream 128kbps over GPRS (not EDGE), then the max. rate you're likely to achieve is about 50kbps (even 45kbps due to network unreliability). Your data connection is probably too slow. (If you downloaded a file to your Storage Card that played at that rate, it should be fine).
What are some of the more interesting things I can do with a PPC phone? Something like the Remote Desktop, which I've had a lot of fun with. I have a blog hosted on Livingdot, can I remotely maintain and update my site, etc. Just looking for some creative applications
I had a nice guitaru tuner on mine for awhile... it had additional features not found on your average cheapo digital tuner.
I've used mine with real-time chat programs that let me real-time chat on Yahoo, MSN, and AOL.
I haven't tethered mine to my notebook yet, but that would be an easy way to provide yourself a data connection for a notebook pc while on the go (provided you have an unlimited data plan like I do).
I keep Google Maps installed on it, and Opera's latest web browser for Pocket PC phone edition. I use the latter for superpages.com to get addresses, and the former Maps program to find the location of those adresses. Not a GPS but the next best thing.
WM5torage is a great app if you want to listen to your music on your xbox 360!
I have T-Mobile Wing with a T-Zone plan. Setting the proxy of T-Mobile Data connection to 216.155.165.50:8080 allows most of the important apps to connect to the Internet including Google Map, Opera Mini, Media Player, etc. However, few programs like the Weather Watcher still can only download weather data from the Wifi or USB ActiveSync connection and not via the T-Mobile Data connection. Just wonder about the reason and if there is any remedy on the phone. Thanks for any hint.
I had the same problem, but the cab in this thread corrected the issue.

Thanks for your hint. I already applied the CAB and HT Weather works. However, I am using a really nice application call Weather Watcher by Mike Singer and it can not get the weather data through T-Zone proxy, only through Wifi or ActiveSync. Maybe it does need a patch like the HTC Weather patch.
Sorry about the misunderstanding and thinking you was talking about HTC weather. I don't use that particular program as I like SPB weather better but noticed if adding my city which isn't in their data base by zip code-it won't connect either. Though if using the closest city to me in their data base I don't have any issue connecting via proxy.
