A2DP and Audible

I'm using an Apache with the A2DP hacks and it works very well for everything except when listening to books using Audible. The sound only comes through on the left channel. Can anyone suggest a registry change that might fix this issue?
Dave

I had this same problem. While I didn't find a great solution, you can get sound out of both ears if you use the older 4.0 version of the software. Just choose Pocket PC 2000 as your device on the site, and you can download it. Worked great for me!

Thanks, I tried using v4.0 and it does work. The only problem is that I cannot get it to authenticate the player so I can't listen to anything but the Welcome blurb.
How did you get it to activate your player?
Dave

I had to load the old 3.6 desktop software to authenticate it. Select Win 98/ME for the OS on the download page and it will let you use it.
Once its authenticated, I just use AudibleAir (www.audible.com/audibleair). It downloads books and subscriptions everything via GPRS or WiFi. I've never needed to connect to the desktop since I authenticated.

When installing the desktop version, what device did you tell it you have?
I can't seem to get it to authenticate my mobile player.
BTW, I have reported this issue to their tech support. They claim to be unaware of the issue and immediately escalated it to their 3rd tier of tech support.

I have not been able to get it to activate mine either.....bummer. It would be so much easier if Audible would just make their current player compatible with Bluetooth.
Dave

I just spoke with Shawn (Tech Escalation Lead) at Audible.
They want to fix this problem and will try to duplicate it monday on a WM5 device. He is hoping they have a 8125 (or other Wizard) for the test.

I told it I had a Pocket PC 2000 device. I've done it several times (between upgrading roms, hard resets, etc) and I haven't had any issue. I did make sure the software was installed on the 8125 BEFORE I used the desktop software. It's not stable all the time, and sometimes it doesn't authenticate. Fortunately, I only need it to authenticate once.
That would be great if audible can fix this problem. The 4.0 software is kinda slow on the phone, and doesn't navigate quickly.

Sync with Mac OSX

Can anyone suggest some good applications that I can sync PPC WM5 with Address Book and Ical on Mac OSx?
Thanks in advance.

pocketmac and missing sync
missing sync 2,5 is ok but not great. 3.0 is the lastest version, but have not tested that one

3.0 works fine if you don't have WM6 and turn off the 'enable advanced networking in stuff' in connection 'USB to PC'.
However you may need to try the new beta of Missing Sync for WM6 compatibility.
Hope this helps,

3.0 works...sometimes...when it doesn't fail and has to be re initialized in order to get back to working !

Hi markyeungcy
I answer the same question you posted the other day See here
The current version 3.0.2(335) worked with my trinity device running WM5 with little issues. However the trinity in not listed in the manufactures guide as a supported device.
The new beta version 4 still does not offer support for the device yet but is in testing stage.

v4 is actually in alpha stages, not even beta. Its really buggy(buggier lol) compared to a buggy v3 . My mbp freeze everytime I mount my drive. I can live with just syncing it. It shows promise but I think it will still be buggy when they release the "stable" version.
v3, does not recognize any files in my card for some reason, I hope they fix that.
Missing sync is the only option for now the other one (I forgot what its called) has support til wm2003, the wm5 has been in beta for a long time. I dont think they can bring wm6 any time soon.

So it seems there is something missing from "the missing sync"-the sync D)
I found the most reliable why to sync with my mac is via an exchange server (over 3G or WiFi). NeilM suggested a company called 4SmartPhone which I have been using for nearly a year to sync my mac's addressbook, calendar and E-Mail with my pocketpc. The data charges are not expensive either.

Yahoo! Go 3.0

Does anyone have the .cab file for the new beta version of Yahoo! Go? When bringing up the Yahoo Go Website on Opera, it shows the new version, but when I click on download, it tells me to use my mobile phones built in browser. I did a quick search and found a smartphone version available, installed it and it works, so I wonder why they dont have a PPC version or allow Wing users to download it

Did you try going to it using Internet Explorer on your phone. Worked for me.

yea I tried it with pocket IE and it shows that I can only download 2.0. Sorry I forgot to mention that before

Try this
But I believe this is a smartphone version so no touchscreen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=85153&d=1210411653

Also as of now 3.0 is still beta and only supports the higher end htc phones, the 4350 is still under 2.0

Windows PC /BT PAN/ to Android. Is this possible?

Hello, and thanks for such a wonderful resource as this site is.
I've had my Sprint touch for over a year and hated all the quirks the stock winmo 6.1 had with it.
My question is: Is it possible to set up a Bluetooth Connection on a windows PC, and have it share the internet connection of the PC with Android? I remember being able to do it with my Zodiac years ago, but don't know if it would apply to Android.
I have no data plan on my phone, so I can't download the camera fix, or any applications. This is the only thing that's keeping me from wiping windows from NAND.
Thank you for reading, and your insight.

Afaik, no.

With Linux, yes, with XP, maybe, with Vista / 7 probably not. But you can't get to the market on your phone via BT pan, I've tried.

May I ask how you managed to do it with Linux? I'm running Ubuntu atm, but I haven't made the switch because of this reason as well. You are still able to browse the web using the browser, yes?

I'm happy to post it, but only some things work. Android executes some kind of connection check before letting you access most things... so, for example, over bt pan I can launch the youtube app, it will load the homepage including the thumbnails, but you can't load the actual videos. Market won't download. Google maps, however, works beautifully. I can't remember whether the browser worked or not.
EDIT: I'll have to post after I get home, it'll be a few hours. Also - I'm sure someone with come brains could make the necessary changes to make the bt connection pass the connection check. But I, sadly, have no brains. Call me the scarecrow.
Edit 2 - Ok, I must have had this going on cupcake under the old rootfs setup, because I'm having trouble with donut / noroootfs. I'll roll my test phone back tomorrow and get the pan stuff posted.

thanks for the speedy answer, i'm getting Warm Donut right now, and i'll see how it goes

[HOW TO] Transfer your CoPilot from WinMo -> Android

***Update 3*** 09th August 2011
ALK have restored the CP8 download. Link here - thanks to Antus.
***Update 2*** 06th June 2011
It would seem with the introduction of CoPilot 9, a number of changes have occurred to their web site. As such, the old free APK update for CP8 has been removed from their system and can no longer be downloaded. It's still legit to own as it requires activation, so if someone could host the file contact me and I'll add the link, otherwise, this thread is effectively invalid. Sadly I no longer have the APK in question, because I just invested in CP9.
***Update*** 15th August 2010
This isn't specifically for the HD2. In fact this works for any device! WinMo -> Android OR Android -> WinMo.
Since those geniuses Coutlla/Dan fixed GPS for the HD2 Android, I thought for those of you who have purchased Co-Pilot and wish to transfer it over to Android, I'd make a small guide.
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now): LINK RESTORED
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work: LINK RESTORED
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
CoPilot will now shut down;
Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here (LINK RESTORED);
Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.

Very interesting, thanks !
How about Map data ? where do u put it on the card ?

It should be on the root of your SD Card in a folder "CoPilot".

I wonder if the text to speech feature will also work.... using the current key.

Thanks, thought that would work, and now I know it will! I'll be setting it up as well.
That was the only reason I would need to go back to WM. I use CP8 all the time!
Hero!

Haha, my motivation for switching was the same. It's better in Android IMO. For example you use the Android keyboard so it's qwerty and accepts voice input. It also has controllable volume over bluetooth For me I always listen to Music via bluetooth and in WinMo there was no control over individual volumes. If I had the volume at a normal level for music, the speech was far too loud. Now it's all controllable

Man I hated that Copilot non qwerty! Wow, speech too! Neat, just need to download the cp8 app for android now...

@OP (and everyone else)
Would anyone mind if I wrote this up on the front page, as it's great news. Anyone foresee any issues if this becomes 'publicised'? If so, I will hold off.

My only concern would be that Copilot ALK may not want us to transfer. But I do think that other HD2 owners or anyone coming from WM should be, and would be, happy to transfer/use CP8 that they paid for on Android.
So I guess ...go for it. I'm switching ASAP just in case...hehe.

Ok, cool thanks. Just thought I'd quickly check - I had the same thoughts as you (noellenchris). I've written up a short article on this, so it should get published sometime tonight/tomorrow (GMT).
If there any strong objections let me know

All working, the only thing I should have done was deactivate Premium Live Services first in WM.... before the UK/IRELAND maps.... not really a big problem as the live services are a waste of time anyway.
To be honest, comparing Copilot to the free Google Navigation app I think Copilot will be dead and buried within a year.

what about tomtom navigator?

deactivation in android?

I have done this before to transfer between winmo devices and it works a treat. Do you know if you can do the reverse of this and deactivate it in Android and then reactivate it back in winmo? Be useful to know before I get locked in to android.

Yes it is 100% reversible. ALK can't be bothered with all the enquires I think and I truly believe it's a good way for them to make a quick extra money! As a user who paid for it once, I refuse to pay again. Take Photoshop for example, if you buy it for a mac, you can use the same license on a PC and vice versa.
Enjoy!

AFAIK, there is no TomTom for Android. Quite frankly they are so behind with their mobile software, it's just not worth using anyway.

Hope ALK is planning on integrating the contacts in CP8.... Other than that, it works great.

Anyone know if it will be possible to deactivate my WM version when I don't own my old windows phone any more?

Yes you can, but you have to contact them via email or their web site. Just explain and ask them to release your license. I've done it on numerous occasions.
