Phone screen off/standby even whilst streaming - HD2 General

Hi guys
One of my biggest niggles with this phone is that when I am streaming music using something like Open Web Radio with TCPMP, the stream breaks when I the unit is left unattended and effectively goes to sleep. Is there any way to have the unit recognise that streaming music is actually an activity that should prevent the unit hibernating?
Perhaps I am doing something wrong but some advice would be welcome.

take a look at this, it might be useful to you

streaming over wifi?
change the reg entry
"hklm - comm - bcmsddhd1 - parms - htckeepwifionwhenunattended" to 1
hope that helps

Thanks for recommending this. I am having some teething problems getting it to work and have fed back in the thread but its a great idea if it works.

Thanks also for this reply. I am having a devil of a time finding a reg editor. Don't suppose you have a link. Searching XDA brings up so many hits but can't actually find what I need.

Personally i use resco file explorer and reg editor.
There are free ones out there I've heard good things about "total commander" i think its free too, you should get a download link by googleing it.

bt works then quits

I've been searching for an hour and can't seem to find the answer.
I have a cingular 8125 and a moto ht820 headset. It's paired and begins to play through the headset but then the voice speed dial comes up and the audio reverts to the 8125 speaker. When it works, it sounds great.
I've found plenty of threads on bt disconnecting on resume but none for my situation.
If it's a .cab install, I think I've understand how to do that.
Will someone either tell me the fix or, at the least, point me to the fix via thread.
Thank you in advance,
Porter
Edit: It's been a few days since the original post. I can't believe , as big as this site is, that noone can answer my plea. Oh well, I'll keep reading and hunting. Hopefully I'll bump into the answer. It seems that I saw it when I first came here but I didn't know that I'd need it so I didn't save it. Thanks for looking.
I think I may have my problem on the run. I looked on the Wiki and found a FAQ "How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset?".
It tells how to make bt use media player instead of voice dial. I don't want to use media player, i want to use pocket player.
Right now it says to enter this path in the registry:
"Path"="\Windows\wmplayer.exe"
I've installed pocket player onto my mini sd card. What path would I use? On my mini sd the path is \program files\conduits\pocket player\pocketplayer.exe
What would my path be in the registry?
Also, which registry editor should I use?
Thanks

This worked. With media player anyway. I'm listening through my HT820 right now. Hooray! I used regedit82.exe I want to be able to use pocket player still because of the bookmarks. I listen to 3.5 hour mp3's (the lex and terry podcast) so I need bookmarks.
If I haven't been clear enough, tell me and I'll try again.
Thanks
Edit: Pocket Player is now working through the HT820 headset just by my having entered media player in the registry as stated above. This is what I've been wanting since I got this phone. Now I can start learnig the other stuff at a slower pace.
Thanks

I have the same problem you faced pairing my HT820 with my Cingular 8125. I haven't been lucky so far in finding a copy of regedit82.exe to edit my registry settings. For the moment, I plan on using Media Player for my Mp3's. Any suggestions on where to locate a copy of regedit82.exe? Also, I'm a novice at this, so would you mind reiterating the steps to make things work. Thks in advance HW

As far as I remember, the voice dialer/media player registry edit that you are wanting to do will stop the plays for 2 seconds out of the headset then reverts to the speaker problem.
I guess I can't figure out how to send an attachment on the new forum. Just do a search on regedit820.exe That's the one I used. I must've left out the zero. Sorry.
I still don't have anything figured out really. Go to the WIKI FAQ and search for "How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset?".
Since what I listen to is mono, I've started using a bluetooth earpiece instead of the ht820. Others have it figured out but not me.
There is a good thread that has ROUNDUP in the title. Search for it. It's a good starting point.
Good luck.
No Results Google regedit820.exe or Wikipedia FAQ ;-|
Thanks for getting back with me so quickly PorterX. Since Googling for regedit820.exe has so far returne "0" results ;-| Would you mind please emailing it to me through either mailto:[email protected] or mailto:[email protected] Also, when I queried Wikipedia's FAQ for How can I use my Bluetooth headset as Wired Headset? Not even the ROUNDUP thread came up. I must not be living right ;-( I appreciate your continued willingness to help. Hope to hear from you again soon. /HW
Note: Maybe I'm searching on the wrong Wiki? I've be using Wikipedia's FAQ (wikipedia.org). Should I instead be searching through EmacsWiki, AtomWiki, UbuntuWiki, EnterpriseWiki perhaps?

Wireless Stereo Switch (or other solution)

Once my Bluetooth Headset is connected to my Prophet, all my notification sounds come through my Bluetooth Headset instead of the phone speaker.
The sound for normal incoming call works as it should though (through the speaker).
The only way i've found how to solve this problem, is to uncheck the "Wireless Stereo" option under:
Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > i.Tech Clip R35 > Partnership Settings
And then when I want to listen to music through the Windows Media Player, I have to do the opposit.
So, my two questions...
1. Is there a way to map notification sounds to always use the phone's speaker? (or)
2. Is there a small shortcut / Today-plugin that can switch "Wireless Stereo" on/off in one click?
Cheers!
Eric
Yes there is, i use a software called BTAudioToggle, you can place a shortcur to a launchbar in the today plugin, it works fine for me...

Thanks Hybrid, unfortunatly this was a bit wrong...
It seems that this program routed the sounds to the Bluetooth Headset if I wouldn't have "Wireless Stereo".
Hence; it had its functionality when I turned off "Wireless Stereo".
The solution was in the right direction though, but not really right...
BIG note though: It messed up the sound on my normal "Wireless Stereo" mode. So the sound now has a distortion as well.
Ehm but i remember there a software which did the same like btaudio with stereo headsets, but this one costs money. You just have to google, cause i dont remember the name

I found one called BlueMusic: http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com
Could that be the one you're refering to?
BlueMusic unfortunatly got about 99 functions that are more or less useless, packaged in a big memory overhead with nice graphics.
I just wanted the simple on/off switch...
ADD:
I'm running WM6, that's probably why most of BlueMusic's feature are superfluous.
My father got an Aus P535; when he uses the bluetooth headset, an icon is displayed on top, near "start": by clicking that icon, it is possible to redirect or not notification sounds to the headset... I didn't try that on the prophet, but I hope this can help you. bye
@overone: Hang in there...I'm trying to create a solution for one-click wireless stereo on/off..Will let you know as soon as I'm done...
Guys, been trying out a few things on mine AMEO qith BT8010's, it would appear that two reg entries are modified when turning on/off wireless audio.
I have attahced two reg export files bton.txt for audio on and btoff.txt for audio off.
if you look at lines 23 and 61 these are the values the executable will need to toggle. I dont have enough knowledge to code it up but if you know how to by all means give it a try.

Oki.
I just ment that I don't know how to help you, since I don't write/read that lingo/api's...
I found an open .NET class in C# that could query the Bluetooth interface.
Unfortunatly, it only seem to have a "getService" and not a "setService".
I am very interested in this solution for the hermes. I linked this thread to the hermes forum.

Midomi - song detection for diamond?

Hi, my friend just got his Samsung Omnia few days ago, and he was showing me a program called Midomi, he put the software on, put his phone next to the radio and after few seconds there was text on the screen - the artist and the song! I didn't even know that sound detection is so advanced that the software can recognize a song from few seconds of hearing it.
i tried to search the web for a install file but couldn't find one, so i was thinking is there anyway to get it work on diamond, since omnia uses wm too and i think that the software doesn't need any superhardware to recognize the music, just a regular cellphone's mic.
im sorry if i put this message to a wrong place, and thanks in advance for any info you might have.
there was a program on here the other day that did the
same thing.dont remember the name but its here if you search.
damn i can't find it... please, anyone... im so lonely, help me

hi!
i'm very interested in music recognition, too. untill now, i've been using musicid, which is quite good. but the only problem is you need an internet conection (wifi, gprs, 3g...) to get a recognition. what i'm dreaming of is a music recognition software, which can record the song to identify, and then LATER identifiy it.
example: you're driving in your car and you're listening to your favorite radio station. you don't have a data plan, so you're not online.
now they're playing a cool song. you just might start the music recognition software, record a few seconds. later, when you're home again, you connect your phone to wifi and let the software identify the recorded song over internet.
musicid can't do this. what about midomi? or do you know another software capable of this?
thanks and have a nice day
Why not just use the built in recorder then play it back when you get access to the net

hmm, sounds a bit uncomfortable, but i'll give it a try when i'm at home.
Hi Mr Pink, I can confirm that Midomi works brilliantly on my HTC Touch Diamond (HTC WWE 2.03 rom) using Wi-Fi internet access.
Try my version on my signature.
No need to modify the registry for HSPA/3G/GPRS.
You can install on Device/Storage Card/Internal Storage/RAMdisk as your choice.

pandora?!

i really hate slacker radio....does anyone know if pandora will work on the hd2?...if so is there a .cab for it?
The generally accepted answer to this is no. There is a .cab floating around, but it supposedly has problems with the login not working correctly with the keyboard.
Slacker radio has buffering issue where the music stops and never plays again until restarting the app on both of my HD2 phones. I have filed a bug with slacker. If anyone else is having this, we need to all file bugs so it gets fixed.
BTW. You are suppose to be able to listen to pandora radio by browsing through your browser on the phone. I have tried IE with Flash Light, Opera with Flash Light, and Skyfire and none work. Oh well.
hmm good idea... i might just try going through the browser...but pandora on this phone would be great!
See attached, works for me... Not sure who to give credit to, but found it on the TP2 forum. If Username/password is an issue, use mymobler to enter it.
Hope that helps

Out of all of the forums for this phone. This has been the best solution for Pandora on HD2 by far. Thanks so much!
...thank you for posting the "mymobler" program.
That is exactly what I needed to get this to work...Viva La Pandora!
WooHoo!! Thank You!

posts 1 and 8 contain all the answers to get pandora fully functional on ur hd2, just beware that, because there is not yet an official pandora app for the hd2, the UI will be distorted

How to keep wifi on ????

Hello everyone,
I just got my Hd2 few days ago and there is olny two things pissing me off with that phone.
1st is the wifi, that is disconnecting shortly after the screen goes black(battery saving i suppose). I listen to the internet radio over wifi and it stops after screen goes black. Is there any way to keep it on all the time?????
Second thing is the divx support. I have a divx 0.93 program on it bot i doesnt have all the codecs in it. What is the best divx player out there?
Many thanks in advance folks
wifi during standby can be enabled with BSB Tweaks. its a modding tool with many features.
for playing vids i would say best is CorePlayer....
DN41
thanks for replying i found many interesting options in bsb, includimg one responsible to keep wifi on in standby. i switch it on, phone asks for reboot, turns on ans that option is switched off again. Same story with startup animation, it never switches it off. ??????? is there reason why that may not work?
Its because that registry entry reverts to default whenever you reset the device.
With a reg editor go to HKLM - comm - bcmsddhd1 - parms
In that folder there should be an entry called htckeepwifionwhenunattended
change the value to 1 and your sorted.
Hope that helps.

Thanks franq thats very handy, does the cab need to be used after a reset or does it keep the setting permanently?
Forget about that weird cab, god knows what it does.
BSBTweaks wifi during standby option indeed doesn't work.
Better to use WifiNoStandby, install once, and that's it. No need to do anything again.
For divx; CorePlayer is the best option out there.
Dude hello!... This cab IT IS THE SAME like WiFiNoStandby. You think what a profit for me or anybody is posting suspicious stuff? Wake up dude and start think more like you talkin a bull ****s.
