mp3 files do not play

Guys, great site, especially now since I've got my vario II .
I could not find anything on site about it. I installed different media player on Vario II, I didn't like so deleted it later. Now when I click on *.mp3 file it says "there is no application associated with *.mp3", but if I load this file from Windows Media player, then it plays. Does anyone know how I can change to the way it was before. Hard reset does not help... strange, but when I do hard reset it does not remove all the programms that I installed on Vario II. Thanks.

Install Total Commander on your device. Then, open it up and find an MP3 file in the (total commander) explorer window... Shift-tap, and hit Properties. Go to the Associate tab, and if the filetype is associated correctly, it should read .mp3 -> MP3File. If you hit the Associate button underneath, you can open up the advanced parameters for associating the file.
The correct settings (well, the default settings anyway) are:
Command:
wmplayer.exe
Parameter:
"%1"
Icon file:
wmplayer.exe
Index:
-2002
You can also scroll through the list of icons contained in the .exe once you choose the file. You can also hit the [>>] buttons next to the Command and Icon file boxes to choose the application file for the Command and Icon file respectively... You might think "wtf?" but as soon as you follow the steps above in Total Commander, you'll understand what I'm on about.

Christopherwoods, many thanks for this.
I downloaded Total commander 2.0, but this version does not have Associate function. Could any one advise the version that has it or possible help with the link where it can be taken.
Thanks.

Just an update on the issue. If someone has similar problem Total Commander 2.5 has the Associate Tab to change atributes of files. So *.mp3 files are recognised correctly now.

Mortscript....duh !!

Hi All
I'm sure someone will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong
I have loaded Mortscript on to my E650 and have copied a script from this site and saved it as wireless.mscr
When I run the file from Windows explorer - it opens the file in Word on my E650 and does nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Uninstall Mortscript and then reinstall it. I guess it's a matter of file association in the registry.

mortscript
Thanks....have tried that and it still does not work.
Any other ideas?

You must run once the mortscript's executable to create the associations with the mscr files.

yep, ran the yellow file that was located in the \program files\mortscript folder. It gave me a message to say the file associations has been made yet the docs still open in Word !!
AAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Try deleting the key at HKCR\.mscr...then opening mortscript.exe Then try to open your script. It deletes the file assc.

Thanks...where would I find the HKCR\.mscr Does that involve editing the registry as have never done it before

Yes this is a registry key. You will need a registry editor Total commander has a free one. Then just navigate to HKey_Classes_Root(hkcr) and locate the folder .mscr open it and delete the key in there..
In order to locate and edit the registry in total commander tap the / in the top right corner of the screen right next to the .. Then double tap on the \\ then double tap on Registry then HKCR then .mscr and delete the key labeled default ,or you could just double tap on it and then in the box provided type MortScript

key
Thanks,
have done as suggested, removed the keys, have removed and reloaded Mortscript. Rebooted phone....and they still open with Word Mobile !!!
Jeez - can it be so hard !!!

When you open that key what does it say.... when you open word go to menu and options and in display....click on word files, i dont think that will work but its worth a try

Hi, Thanks for your help so far
My word seems to be an editor only - as dont have any options to select.

mort
hi
Am getting somewhere now...turns out the file was named wireless.mscr.txt so have edited it to reflect the proper extension. Will try again now
Thanks again

well that makes a lot more sense...since the actual ext that you are opening is a txt. just drop the .txt

It's probably far more simple: You script has the wrong extension. It must be .mscr, not .psw, .doc or .txt. The default Explorer hides the extension, so your file's pobably named "somescript.mscr.psw" (or *.doc) but is shown only as "somescript.mscr". Use an explorer replacement like Total Commander or Resco, or the desktop's Explorer ("My mobile device") with "Hide extension for known documents" disabled in the options, and you'll see the wrong extension.

[size=+0][18/11/2008] SSMaPa2D (Alpha) 0.2.2.1 (18/11/2008)[/size]
Hi guys,
simple Manila2D patcher -> SSMaPa2D version 0.2.2.1
this version is only for Manila2D devices! For Manila3D use this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2400995
please test it and let me know if there are bugs…
Patch options:
.) Replace Calender
.) Replace Mail
.) Replace Opera
.) Replace Camera
.) Time Click Man2d
.) Bluetooth Settings
Note: extended Init not possible at the moment. If someone facing UnauthorizedAccessException tell here.
How does it work ?
1.) Copy SSMaPa2D.exe to pda and start it.
2.) Press "Init"
3.) Under settings – click on description line what you want to change
4.) Then change the program what you want in fields below + click on "patch" + "save"
5.) Under deploy – click "Deploy".
After that you can exit the program.
If your files are signed, you're asked if you want to unsign them.
Please note, I didn't find a way to remove the signatures in a 'correct' way. I do an exe-based-deactivating. This is ok, as long as you don't want to resign them. If you want to resign them with your own certificate chose no and do it by hand.
Also I didn't have a manila2d testdevice... So it was a little bit difficult to test the application, but I had a motivator and beta tester
Thank you camel (camro)!
Please donate for me! I'm a apprentice and use a lot of my free time for working on the computer, to be able to create such tools.

strange.
if others have same problem, post here and mail me your manila2d.exe...
thank you

I like the idea of this, but I am having a problem. When I select a description to edit and then select the ..., although all folders is selected, not all of them are showing up. I am missing Program Files, Windows, etc. Looking forward to a fix for this.

this is a "file explorer" related problem.
ex:
1.) please check the link file of creating of a "new appointment" on thumbal folder in start menu with a file browser (ex: total commander resco explorer)
2.) copy the string from there then to m2d patcher . the same on paramter - i (have tested it) and it works
@sven - maybe you can post a screen shot of the gui on first posting.

I realize I can create the path manually or copying it from a link, but I would much rather be able to browse to the file I want and have the app create the path . I use Resco File Explorer, so getting the full path is no issue. Thanks.

It seems I can only assign the software in the storage card. Is there any way for me to assign the software in the main memory ?

you can copy the software the every location and you can start the software from every location.
if you need this very often - create a link to the exe and move it to your start menu folder - thats it

don't copy the whole path.
enter only the exepath, then do the arguments in argument box.
for example:
exe: \Interner Speicher\Programme\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe
argument: -i
working dir: \Interner Speicher\Programme\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\

Ok, I guess I can make you easier here. Download the attachment and unzip and copy inside 2 files (you should choose "show all files" option when using the file explorer) into \windows.
After that, go to Settings/System tab, then you should see "File dailog Changer". Enter the software, and choose the "Exchange Standard File Dialog, click "add". Now it should trigger the shield feature of file browser for SSMAPA2D now.
Now you can assign the software as you want by using SSMAPA2D.

Can someone please give me the file default associations for URL format?

1 How do I open URL's with Opera Browser by DEFAULT
2 I went into Total Commander and deleted the file association for URLs in attempt to make it work for Opera Browser on the Xperia.
Well, it doesn't work, and when I set it to iexplorer.exe the Xperia gives me infinite loops and freezes on me.
Can someone just give me the default association settings when they click on properties, I am sure this will fix my URL opening problem.

Download and install Xperiatweak, it has an option to set your default browser.

That doesn't apply to Total Commander or File Browser....
Dude you should try it. Save a URL on a real computer, transfer it into your phone, and then open it via any file browser.
It will open in Internet Explorer.
LISTEN PEOPLE, instead of giving suggestions that will not work, can someone just please follow these steps in Total Commander and tell me what is on the screen?
Step 0: Upload a .URL file into your storage card
Step 1: Click on Program Menus
Step 2: Click on Total Commander
Step 3: Press and hold on a URL file inside your memory card
Step 4: Click on properties
Step 5: Click on the Associate tab
Step 6: Click on the Associate button
Step 7: tell me exactly what is shown on the following fields: Command, Parameter, Icon File, and Index
I thank any angel that helps me out on this.

Someone please help me, I know one of you has total commander, can make URLs, and has windows mobile 6.1.

i had this problem also and have fixed most of the links to opera except for emails. the screenshots below show the associations for .html and .url which are different. i'm guessing .html is probably the one you want to copy but i have provided both just in case. i ended up using a cab as there are registry settings for others and i had problems with rss hub links. if i find the cab i'll post it but i got it from xda-devs general section i think, try a search for opera associations, opera rss or something like that.
EDIT: my email links do work, i'm sure there is something that still opens PIE but i can't remember. check the reg key HKLM> Software> microsoft> shell> rai> : DEFBROWSER
0=Opera Browser
1="\windows\OperaL.exe"

All I get is a blank page, even thought I can still browse the internet and all, the URLs still dont open!!!!!!!!
The file I am trying to open is URL because when I save a bookmark or website url, I want to open it via Total Commander, exactly the way I open Microsoft Word Documents.
I have no idea what the heck .html files are, but anyways, your method and your registry cab does not work...
What am I doing wrong? And what exactly are .html files?

Please help me, I find it very inconvenient to be forced to go to Opera Browser and then open links from there.
It would be much easier to click a saved link and then open via opera browser.
I used PHM Registry Editor
and
ab 0 = Opera Browser
ab 1 = "\Windows\OperaL.exe
D 2 = 1 (0X000001)
D 3 = 0 (00000000)
It still doesnt work
1. Ok...what are HTML files?
2. What the heck does it mean to open Email links? Does it mean to open a URL like "www.hotmail.com"?
3. How do I open a website link from my Windows Vista that is transferred into Windows Mobile?
I tried your advice and it doesn't work. When I open www.google.com via a .URL file... this is what I get in the address bar in opera:
file:/Storage%20Card/My%Stuff/Google.url
I want to see this in the Opera address bar:
http://www.google.com/
I am basically talking about opening bookmarks in the form as URL. because bookmarks can only be saved in URL format via Internet Explorer or Mozilla firefox on my computer, so how do I open these bookmarks when transferred?

suggest word(s)

hi
I am sorry if this has been asked before (but I did search)
Is there any way to add suggest word(s) when typing in text, I have to type the same sentence over and over again every day and on my old phones/PDA this was not to bad as you could set the suggest word(s) to give you the next 4 works, I can't find this in the HD2 is there any way to add it
Thanks for any help

according to hint 19 in this thread:
19. Improve Suggested T9 Dictionary With Custom Words
The Leo has a very useful hidden application in the Windows directory. You need to unhide hidden system and Rom files in order to find it. Find the file "eT9MyWords.exe" in the Windows directory and add a shortcut to this file in your Windows/Start Menu folder.
When in the application, add the most common words you use when using the keypad such as names, locations, user names, email addresses and other words not common in the standard T9 dictionary. For example if you are based in London, UK you could add the following locations:
Leicester, Piccadilly, Tottenham, Soho, Charring, Euston, Trafalgar, Clapham,
and words such as BRB, DVD, coz, lol, xoxo, [email protected], ciao, etc.

I have read these tips and know about adding custom words.
What I want is for three to four words to come up to complete a sentence.
This has been in the input tap on old PDAs suggest word(s)

Hi
Is there no one Who can help with this?

Really with all the clever people on this site can no one help me
Please someone help me

Hi, i did a few tests and found...
et9mywords wont accept spaces, and although you can sneakily paste sentences into the input box, it wont save them, so that method is out.
Custom words are also found in HTCMDB.txt, and the good news is it works!
(See image)
The line 'this is a test' i hard coded into the file using my kitchen, then the 'this is a second test' i added as follows....
(I use resco explorer, i suspect the normal file manager wont do what is required, total commander probably will)
find /windows/HTCMDB.txt (it will be hidden, so show all files)
copy it to your sd card, and from there to your desktop.
(I tried editing it on the phone using windows mobile notepad, but it didnt work right)
On the PC, right click the file, properties, and untick 'read only', apply.
Open it and edit it as required.
Save it, and again right click, re apply 'read only'
Copy back to your sd card, and from teh phone use commander or resco to move it to /windows/
You will probably get a warning about rom files and what not, thats ok.
Reboot, and you should now be able to see your sentences.
PLease let me know how you get on.
EDIT - just for clarity, every entry inside HTCMDB.txt must be on its own line.

thanks for your help with this I have done as you posted and it works, it's a bit long winded but it works
thanks jason
