Black volume bar in Windows media player - HD2 General

Searched forums and cant seem to find this one- when i use the volume up/down buttons on the side of the handset whilst in windows media player, it works the volume, but i just get a black bar down left hand side of screen. Any ideas? I did have a problem with a missing volume icon on Brians taskbar once i upgraded rom to 1.66, but someone posted a cab to fix that. Possible connection to that maybe?

i would say so. I installed the taskbar also and after that i lost the volume bar in Media Player. Havn't looked into it yet - since my HD2 now is a nice brick
But if u find a solution. Plz do post it, so i can find it when i get my phone back from RMA.
Also running ROM 1.66

HTC volume control & large title bar incompatible?

Hi,
I have a strange problem among the applications named in the subject. I love the volume control which I found in Itjes blackstone application thread. As soon as I install the large title bar application, I can´t set the volume via the volume up/down buttons anymore but with my fingers on the screen. I´m usin the standard german rom with darans TF3D application. Do you have a solution for me? I saw roms where both aplications work in harmony.
I have the same problem. I think it's related with TF3D. it work's in every other panel but on TF3D the volume keys are used to navigate
Seems ok for me.
I found the bug, as soon as I install VAlert or Resco Contact Manager this happens.
I uninstalled VAlert and unckecked the option in Resco CM to usw my buttons et voila, no problems anymore.
I have the problem with the volume control that after i used it, every screen rotate sends me to the home screen and the application i'm currently running into the background, very annoying, it worked fine with the old ROM.

Program aware volume control.

Hi,
Apologies if this has already been covered - it's not in the wiki and search comes up with nothing.
I've noticed that HTC have made the volume control different depending on which application is active. If I'm watching a youtube video and use the volume side buttons, the volume slider is a nice little side pop-in. Likewise with Windows Media Player. But everywhere else (CorePlayer for example), the regular volume control screen comes up.
I guess there must be somewhere in the registry to add applications where the sidebar volume control appears rather than the standard one.
Does anyone know where?
Solution..

[Q] Adjusting volume in music player

While trying to adjust the volume on the HTC music player tab using the left hardware volume rocker the music temporarily cuts for about 2-3 seconds before the volume changes. There is no visual volume indicator on the screen either. Also the increments are pretty large.
Does anyone have this problem? Help please!
I have the same "feature"- except my volume increments are pretty small- I have to press volume up or down many times to hear an appreciable difference, but there is also no visual indication of volume change.
Are we alone with this issue?
Anyone else have this issue?
did you try launching the audio booster from inside music player menu? This should take control of the volume as well.....
About 90% of the time I get a speaker icon and horizontal volume indicator, and the increments are 15 steps from 0 to 100%.
The other 10% of the time, my volume buttons skip forward and back.
Go figure!
I have the same proble with 1.48 rom and 1.61 rom. I don't know what triggers the situation but mostly, it runs correct. Soft reset fixes the situation but I don't know why this happens.
Lately I have the same problem too.. In fact that once the visual volume indicator didn't appear, try tapping the upper taskbar.. the whole screen turns black and become unstable, thus needing a soft reset?
Any idea why???
Most of the problems with the volume overlay are due to custom task bar icons. If you select nice icons that are not fully compatible with your manila version, you have this problem with volume overlay.
If you come back to original status icons, you will see that music volume overlay work well.
If so, you have to find a set of taskbar icons compatible with your manila.

My taskbar icons are the original ones..never tweaked them before..
Perhaps there is some other thing that give you the problem with the volume overlay.
In my case was the taskbar icons.

Mine are all original too, however in two or three days time, the problem occurs. Just after a soft reset everything is fine. I've e-mailled to HTC UK about this problem and they told me that they're aware of the problem and developers are examining this. I kindly ask other users to e-mail their problem to HTC. Maybe a hotfix can come sooner.
Yeah I get this now and again... and then it clears up randomly. Then comes back at later date.
A slight workaround is to go to another tab and change the volume, then you get the grey menu with the 15 bars and it doesn't cause stutters in the music.

Music Volume

Hi folks
in the iphone, when i had the headphones plugged in, i use the volume buttons to control the music sound level. This thing works in every app where i was, just as long i listen to music at the same time. for example, i´m writing some emails and listining music at same time. If i choose to increase the sound level of the music, i just touch the up volume button.
But in hd2, i´m only capable of control the music sound level in the "music tab" of the sense UI.
Is there any tweak the i can control the music level when i´m in another app instead of "music tab"?
thanks a lot for your help
best regards
Your HD2 should do this already,adjust volume no matter what
program/app you are using ??
Yes it does. But on music tab, only appears a green bar of the volume control.
If i´m stay on another app, appears that horrible grey screen of sound control with that horrible "beeps" each time i press up or down.
What i want is the same situation like on the "music tab" (that green bar of the sound). You know what i´m trying to say?

Ah,yes now I understand....
There are various cabs to skin both of the volume controls and to remove the beeps,but I haven't seen one that replaces the standard volume for the
Sense music tab volume whilst in another program...
You can of course install Co0kies Home tab and put the music player right on your
one of your home screens in 3 different sizes...
With "touch tools" theres a tool to add the green sense volume overlay to other apps, you just run the app, shake your phone then whenever you use the volume keys in that app you'll get the nice volume meter.........
I dont know if its possible to get that to work on the home screen though..........
Just tried it, cant get it to work on ther manila tabs.
Its still quite handy though for things like opera and ereaders etc........
hello
thanks for your help.
where can i get that app?
thanks a lot
I found it in the search box but you can find it here..............
Once its installed its the "slim volume" your after........
Theres a few other nice little features in touch tools too, its a handy thing to have......
thanks a lot.
i´ll try that
cheers
