AmazonMP3 for HD2 WORKS NOW in 3.14 Update - - HD2 General

I am hoping that someone might take a look at extracting the new Amazon MP3 Application from the new T-Mobile Official 3.14.531.1 ROM? The old AmazonMP3.cab thats been around forever never worked: meaning it searched, but would not authenticate an Amazon Account, so you couldn't "buy" songs with it, making it essentially useless. But the new one works splendidly - I installed the Official TMOUS ROM 3.14 just to test this app, and I can say it works well. I was able to register my Amazon account, purchase songs, and they appeared in the Sense Music player right away. This is how a "Media Savvy" device is SUPPOSED to WORK, for cryin out loud!
I tried copying everything over, but never could get it working on my current ROMs - it has parts in it labeled "Resco"??? and I ALMOST got it, but it fails on last step of authentication, even after creating all the Reg keys (well, the ones I could figure out from the Official ROM anyway. Looks like it uses some public key encryption in the transaction, and thats where I got in too deep for my feeble mind.... ANYONE want to take this on? It would be SO NICE to get this one working without (shudder) having to run a stock ROM, LOL!!

When will we get the official ROM update?

I'm getting pretty fed up now, dates have come and gone still no sign of the official ROM, I've had problems most noteable SMS texts not arriving. It surprises me that there are ROM's around through developers practically one man bands up and running redone multiple times and HTC still haven't realised anything and they are a huge organization. I've got nothing but admiration for those who go down the route of doing it themselves, but being completely new to android I would find this too stressfull.
HTC were is our update and have emailed you and you deny that my problems are software related and I should sent my phone into you for a fix. But others who have updated to the ripped ROM have had these problems solved.
Sorry rant over. Felt good to get it off my chest.
Still waiting, maybe not so patiently.
It's just HTC and there typical crap support... we might get a update at some point but never believe the dates that are talked about on here or anywhere else.
Hold on a moment, arent these unofficial developer ROMs based on leaked versions of HTCs in-development ROMs? Its not as if these one-man-bands conjure them out of thin air..
Even with these unofficial ones, they are hardly plug and play, not easy for the average person to install. I suspect HTC are making a proper update service available, whilst testing testing testing...
I will wait for the official release. Its been released in Singapore already, apparently, so it must be soon. And if you are too impatient, go the unofficial ROM route!
the 2.73.405.5 that is up here IS the official update.
The people who have uploaded it have got it from an internal HTC system that gets the updates released to it a few days before the updates are uploaded to the HTC website for public download.
so, either wait for the update to appear on the HTC website, or download the 2.73.405.5 update and be happy.
either way, you're gonna get the same thing whichever site you download it from!
i couldn't wait any longer so i used the RUU thing and now my LEDs blink, flash and light up like a Christmas tree, lag is gone, all is dandy <3
two important questions:
can you choose languages (german)?
is the contacts app scrolling fluid now? with the initial hero rom the contacts app would stutter all the time when scrolling through the contacts list. its just unsubale that way. is this better after the update?
do you have any 3g connection issues? or any sync issues (gmail, facebook...)
yes,
yes,
no.
ok you just officially convinced me to make the update now!
only problem left: my windows xp has problems recognising my hero...seems to be some driver issues. damn it!
do you have HTC sync installed?
Once you get a bit more used to these things, i would recommend you have a look at some of Paul's Posts (he posts as Modaco). especially the ones to root using his patch, and the one to permanently flash the recovery image and also the roms in zip format.
once that is done, any update that becomes available, or any cooked ROM that is released, just needs to be copied to the phone as an update.zip file and then you can flash it using the recovery image.
it's a bit daunting at first, but you get used to it and begin to know which posters to trust when it comes to the instructions on doing stuff.
On a side note, i wonder if we'll ever see OliNex heading over this way....they would be a fantastic addition to the Android ranks...!
yeah i have htc sync installed. i also searched for the htc hero xp drivers and installed them.
usb connection does work, but htc sync doesn't work. do i need htc sync connection to update the rom or is the usb connection enough?
USB is enough.
the best possible advice i can give you (in my own, not at work opinion...) is not to use HTC sync whatsoever.
I Hate it!
Copy everything into your google account and let it be backed up there. that way if the worst happens and you ever have to have the phone replaced or have to hard reset, you just sign in and everything is back.
saves the hassle of having to install stuff on the PC and get it all connected!
hi,
i tried the RUU update and it works! so there was really no need for htcsync after all.
actually i already use google for everything (mail, contacts, rssreader) but i thought that you need htc sync to access the device for the update.
only at work i need htc sync in order to sync it with outlook calendar items, but at office it works without any problems...
now i'm going to set up the device again, i'm curious to see whether the contacts app is really faster now...
thanks for your help! i will post my impressions in this post later.

Is that really the case? Because the instructions for installing the Modaco ROMs dont seem particularly simple for the average Joe. I find it a little hard to believe that HTC would make it that complex.
Correct me if I am wrong, it happens often...
no, using the RUU version you'll just have to open an .exe and then the install wizard will update the roms. thats it. takes 10 minutes to update the rom.
the other instructions from modaco are for rooted devices, but if you're not interested in rooting the RUU update will do everything for you, so this is the exact same form as htc will publish it.
The RUU version is likely to be what HTC eventually put up on their website. I've not tried it myself, as I used the Modaco version, but I'd guess it's going to be pretty much like the RUUs HTC put up for WinMo, which is going to make the process a bit simpler than Modacos if you haven't already flashed Cyanogens recovery image, but possibly more complex if you have.

Dave
Favourite People widget is now actually smooth and usable, i'm loving what happened to my Hero, loved it before, it's amazing now

Indeed, I've come from a touch HD (Blackstone) and the different Roms (ultimatly thanks to OliNex) available was the best thing about the phone, Android/Hero will be something else when it gets as popular- Soon I guess thanks to it being released in the USA.
If i was one of those American's my heart would of sank at the sight of sprints press release, sorry for going off topic but what an ugly device! it has no right to bare the name HERO.
is this a hard reset, like in windows mobile updates?
So, all settings and software are deleted?

SiriusXM Alternative App?

I've tried the C-Apsiro app and it works fine my only complaint is the music is kind of low compared to the windows media player on the phone and the tf3d music player we used to have starplayr as a alternative app but it either discontinued or started charging a fee.
is there a official siriusxm radio app out there? or any alternatives?
i've also tried the siriuswm5 app in the sticky but that doesnt connect on my tp2 and the channel list is out dated. any others?

SiriusWM5 might not be connecting today, because no online apps are working now, including the Official Iphone App. It appears Sirius is re-working all of their online content and only the Official Sirius Webpage is running now. I've confirmed that SiriusWM5, C-Aspiro, Iphone and uSirius are not working.
Dwight2001
I have used the SiriusWM5 app for quite sometime. I was not aware of other apps for Sirius out there. Can you post any links? I will search too.

sirius wm5
hello, are there any fixes to get siriuswm5 working again?
CONFIRMED: How to get your SIRIUS fix...
I just about started pulling my hair out in clumps, but I finally found a solution.
If you have the iPhone:
Pocket Tunes Radio: http://www.pocket-tunes.com/
** Not sure if it does Stern, but definitely does SiriusXM on the iPhone, no Windows Mobile SiriusXM Support **
If you have a SmartPhone/Windows Mobile (non-touchscreen, including BlackJack II, which I have)
SelectRadio: http://www.selectradio.com/
** Developer released a fix that is essentially a DLL overwrite. This method works! Delivers 32 and 128 streams, Howard is back in my car! DOESN'T REQUIRE CAPTCHA AND SAVES YOUR LOGIN / PASS!!!**
If you have a PPC (or Windows Mobile Touchscreen)
C-ApiSRO: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26310
** Developer did a 11/16 release that for now fixes the issue **
Of course, you always have the SiriusXM App for the iPhone, but no Howard Stern. I for one am personally highly upset that SiriusXM is making such a stupid move by overlooking cell phone internet users for their service. If they keep trying to sell those stupid radios, it's going to be over for them quickly.
SelectRadio has a 10-Day Trial, then you have to buy. Tewnty-five bucks, but weigh that against what the program can do and that the cheapest SiriusXM radio in the stores is about $60. Not to mention the app uses low resources (infinitely better than the Skyfire workaround) and also does XM and about a bajillion other stations. Well worth $25 to me, especially since my BlackJack II can go from speaker (which is pretty loud) to car casette adapter to headphones to line-in to pretty much any audio system... No Stiletto or portable they make will EVER do all of that.
And for the record, I am in no way affiliated with the maker of any of these apps, I just was freaking out looking for a good solution and finally found a few, including one that has me listening again. I preferred SiriusWM5, but oh well...
At least I'm listening the way I want to.
SelectRadio has a touchscreen version. The C-ApiSRO app is primarily touchscreen. The latest version should be in the post.
I used SelectRadio all the way home on my drive (30+ miles). Worked like a charm. SiriusWM5 was usually 51K bitrate. Got a solid 128K this time .
Give it a whirl. I doubt you'll be let down. The interface is a little clunky at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
C-ApiSRO latest is from May of this year. The 11-16 date was in 2008 Been using it for a while w/ no issues, works decent if your connection is good.
~Eric
Oops, I said May, it was March *sigh*
v2.0.5 March 19th 2009, which I think is the only zip. I was using it for the last 6 weeks (including yesterday) with no issues.
~Eric
This goes deeper than we may notice.
I was able to login and start streaming on my desktop today, so online is not an issue.
SiriusWM5 stopped working on my (hacked) Tilt. (I know this is a Rhodium forum, but the app is the same, right?)
I had my laptop tethered thru my Tilt using Internet Sharing. I was not able to get anything streaming thru the tethering.
I was able to access the Sirius player and get things playing through SkyFire though. Clunky, but it did play.
It makes me wonder if they detected the IP as a mobile one and that is also part of the problem, not just the coding of the app?

No. Not unless your cell company is blacklisting the traffic, in which case skyfire would not let you log on. Debunked.
The problem is that the infrastructure of the player is totally different now. It's still using MD5 for encrypting pass to the server, etc. But the stream targets have changed. This was done by XM's dev team. I actually made a phone call to product dev in NY and they confirmed it. They also simply said that 3rd party app support isn't in the cards, and that they are "working on" a player. Whatever, meh.
But anyway, stop trying to use Sirius WM5. Not only is the channel list out of date in the CAB, the code is trying to grab the captcha and stream from the wrong place. SelectRadio works. And, it gives you the 128k stream. If you have a touchscreen device, try C-ApiSRO. Most are reporting success with it.

I got an am using v2.0.5. It says connected ok (password etc.) but won't play - says "unable to load channel"; any ideas?
> I used SelectRadio all the way home on my drive (30+ miles).
that one says "no login server or bad login" next to a little green icon of a radio tower, even though I'm using the same username/password that works fine from a desktop browser. It claims it knows what's playing on each one (has a song title scrolling), but no sound coming.
What am I doing wrong?!? Do they have a support link? I can't find one on their website.
thanks,
Mike

I've noticed that sometimes SelectRadio does this, but mainly because the initial connect is timing out. The tower can be red, and I still get it. Just pick another channel, then go back to the channel you want. It will usually work fine after that. I've only had to restart the app once, mainly because AT&T sucks total ass and drops my WAP connection.
Also, make sure you put the username and password for your Sirius account in before you try a channel. Sirius customers that have the premium internet account should hear best of XM channels, but the XM tab will not work. That obviously requires an XM internet account.
Can't use the default file explorer. If you do, the tun.dll you drop in the folder will be named "tun.dll.". It will not get the extension right. I had to install, then browse to the folder using a program called The Tool (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Developer-Tools/File-Manager/The-Tool-Smartphone-84530.shtml) and delete the existing dll file. Then, I copy/pasted the new dll file into the folder. Voila, working.
Try that. I had more or less the same problem you are describing. The dll file being in the wrong place was the culprit. Oh, and you may want to install directly to the device instead of an SD card. I think the access time of the SD card can make WinMo progs act wierd sometimes.
The nag screen is a pain, but I plan on purchasing a key tomorrow (payday). SiriusWM5 using Windows Media Player Mobile worked fairly well, but SelectRadio is holding onto the connection a bit better. Either that, or it buffers the stream more. Trust me, I am horrendously picky when it comes to my apps, and this thing will inevitably work for you.
Let me know what happens...

C-ApiSRO is broken as well. The only one that seems to be working now is SelectRadio. This is just plain dumb that none of the free apps are working now thanks to a move on the server side at Sirius.
I think CardonWare (SelectRadio dev company) has posted a newly updated version that takes care of the dll issue. You may want to uninstall everything and start over.
I did a TrialPay and chose Rhapsody 14 day trial. Got a key for SelectRadio, then cancelled the Rhapsody trial.
Total cost? ZERO... POINT... ZERO .
Oh, and I have noticed some random errors in grabbing some Sirius channels. E-Street Radio for example can't connect at the moment. Random wierdness. But Howard 100 and most other channels I try are fine. Experiment heavily.
Alright, I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 and can't for the life of me figure out how to get Sirius or XM working on Select Radio, I continue to receive the 'no connection to stream server' error. Anyone else encounter this and if so, anything you could point me towards?
Thanks!
Thanks all, selectradio is working right now on my sprint touch pro 2, listening to howard right now.
I did have to exit the app and start it again, then enter my user login etc. and it started right up at 128kbs. so far does evrything siriuswm5 did. wish it had a screen toggle on/off feature.
above poster, some screens were slow to load at first when i started clicking to the sirius tab then channel 100, i know i missed the login page and it seemed to freeze after that, i exited then reopened and went slower, now it works on my sprint touch pro 2, hope it helps, should work for you.
Sirius WM6 to the rescue!
works post-sirius-fiddling and no more captcha!
http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showthread.php?t=25946
Works great. Hey Now!!! Thanks
I have noticed that some of the channels don't work, and some may be missing, apparently because the channels.txt file (in the player's install folder) has dated info in it. This can be fixed by editing that file in pocket word and saving as plain text, of on a PC with notepad and copying back over the original.
As an example, Playboy radio would not work.
If you log in to the Sirius online with a PC and start a channel in the player, the URL for that channel looks like:
. . . .sirius.com/player/listen/play.action?channelKey=playboyradio&genreKey=sirentertainment&categoryKey=cattalk&stopped=no
The section in the channels.txt for Playboy radio looked like this:
99 | Playboy Radio
playboyradio
playboyradio
cattalk
when it SHOULD have looked like:
99 | Playboy Radio
playboyradio
sirentertainment
cattalk
So you can see how you can repair broken or missing channels by first using the Sirius browser radio to get the keys, then edit the file.

Blocksuter Application Issues with Custom ROM's

Anyone successfully use the Blockbuster on Demand application? I used it to download the two give-aways when I first got the phone (Forest Gump & Ferris Buelers Day off) - But since going to the 23569 May 23 Cookie ROM, I can no longer download anything.
Now I know this is not NRG's issue, and he really shouldn't have to chase solutions for T-Mobile Apps, as there has to be a limit to what he can do, I am just wondering if anyone here has had time to work on this and figured anything out.
I did the forced update from 1.45 to 2.45, with the primary difference being that the earlier version sent you your browser to do the download, and 2.45 does the download within the app. Or should. But in my case, I have had Blockbuster refund the movies, reselected them, re-installed the app, even deleted my account and then created a new account. The tech I worked with was limited to "remove and re-apply" techniques, and we got nowhere.
I currently have two movies in the "Ready to Download" state, and I kept these two specifically because each has one of the two errors I get:
"0x00d2764" - This is known to be a DRM issue, but the only fix is to go to Application data/Microsoft/Media Player/WMDRM and delete all the files in that folder.
Part of the problem on this one was, when I went to check out that folder, I didn't HAVE a WMDRM folder (so of course tried CREATING ONE, but that didn't have any effect. The only file in the Media Player folder was "XMEMediaLibrary.mlb" - I also tried playing with media player, recreating the library etc.
"NullReferenceException" - This was the one I got right away when trying to download on Energy ROM
Anyone have some ideas? I would really like to get this working again, even if the Blockbuster Movies (at least the two freebies I got) were NOT FORMATED for HD2 screen. If you were expecting them to look like the Transformer conversions, you will be woefully disappointed. I mean, this IS a wide screen format (if not 16:9) but you end up with two SUBSTANTIAL black bands Top & Bottom. Ugh.
Okay, so much for delivering content to the "Hardest working Screen in the Movie Business" Who then has a tried and true method for converting Ripped DVDs into our beautiful media device? I don't have the patience to try this and that ripper, this and that converter, get the demos, look at 5 minutes of video, or have a huge watermark all while NOT getting a nice conversion to begin with. What I dream of is a 2-3 step process, not a 8-10 step process, that I have to lord over the whole time. I would GLADLY pay for a properly done ripper/converter so I could simply watch a movie on this device that was made to do just that. Anyone?
Ressurection
^bump^ I need this too. Has anyone gotten this figured out??

[Q] Android on HD2 without wifi?

I was planning to get an HD2 soon and put android on it but I do not have data on my current plan. I know most custom ROMs on actual android phones like the g1 allow you to skip the initial account setup.
Will I have to put a data plan on my sim to register my google account or will it let me skip?
Also does the official Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM from T-Mobile ask you to register the device every time you do a hard reset?

I haven't found a way around the data-only login. I found some hacks online, but none of them actually worked.
I recommend you (1) find a friend with a data plan and borrow their sim for a moment or (2) get a prepaid sim with data on it.
I've never used Android without data plan but I have a friend who does. It kinda sucks, not being able to access the app store or use any of the social media stuff.
The official WM T-Mo ROM does not require registration.
---Edit---
I forgot: Here in Austin, all of the McDonald's and Public Libraries offer free wifi. Would that help?
There is a trick that you can do, don't know if it works on the HD2 builds but it did on the Kaiser, when you get to the "Touch the Android to begin" screen, simply hit the four corners of your screen and it "should" skip the registration crap.

I have wifi at my house but would I be able to connect to it without signing in first?
I'm pretty surprised that you can't just skip the registration on HD2 android builds, because all of the custom ROMs on my G1 allow me to skip it
Many of the Android Roms don't even have the initial setup screen.
I am currently using Hyperdroid 1.6 and it does not require it.
Many of the HD2 android builds don't require the setup to be completed. The ones that do have the setup included have the "skip" feature. You can load without syncing anything, then turn on wifi, and sync away. I'm currently using Bangsters v1.4. Its running great.
Look through the builds and have a go. You shouldn't have any troubles.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I went through activation without a hitch on Froyostone. There was a SKIP button if I remember right.
Alright thanks for the replies. I'll try it when I buy my HD2 off craigslist.
But one last question, do I have to install HSPL3 for Android or is that only for flashing custom WM ROMs?
HardSPL is only required for flashing ROMs or Radios, BUT, you must flash to a WinMo ROM that supports Android or you will not get correct audio, so in your case you will need to flash HardSPL anyways. Fear not, HardSPL is an extrmely simple 2 click process that takes literally 5 minutes of reading and 2 minutes of clicking to accomplish.

Google think i am a Version user , I own WiFi Xoom and i am outside the USA , i think this is because i updated to 3.1 manually .
Same thing happened to me. Got my invite early this morning.
Same here,I was checking it out this morning, looks like a nice service. I particularly liked the free music
Me 4, using in canada, let's hope they don't catch on...
Yep, same here! I'm in Australia, using a US wifi-only xoom. Got my invite this morning also.
I upgraded to 3.1 manually too (using BRD`s flashable method), which is obviously why Google decided we were good Verizon customers. I noticed that after updating to 3.1 my xoom appeared as a new device "Verizon Motorola Xoom" on the online Market site, instead of "Motorola Xoom" it originally was. My understanding is that this method actually uses the 3g model's (or maybe some of it's ??) software/code. Sorry if that's not strictly correct, but that's what I've gathered... I also noticed that after upgrading, I had access to the music app upgrade (for this music beta), and the new video app, even though I'm outside the US.
Anyway, I was actually having a few stability issues and such, so I decided to do a clean wipe and start again. This time I upgraded to 3.1 using a different wifi-only method (one of the other dozen in the development forum!) This also worked well (and is the install I'm still using.) But I did notice that the music upgrade is no longer available and I no longer have the videos app. And yes, this device is once again called "Motorola Xoom" on the online market.
So again it's my understanding that by flashing that first update, it made Google think I had a Verizon 3g Xoom, or at least that I was in the US???, hence the invite I received. (This may be a sneeky trick to get Google to activate Music Beta on your Google account??)
But now what I'm interested in is seeing if the Music Beta service will actually work on this system since I changed the setup and I assume Google will tell that they're streaming music outside the US (they are pretty clever that way!). Before I even get there tho... since I can't "naturally" update the music app through the market (it comes up as "can't find" if I select the link from the Music Beta page), I figure I can find an apk for the updated music app and sideload it. On that note, can anyone please supply this??? (Save me time looking myself! )
I plan on trying all this out later tonight when I get home from work and will post back. Fingers crossed!
If anyone else has similar experiences I'd be interested to know. Cheers.
I'm in Canada on a wifi Xoom. Have loaded brd's 1.42 kernel and his 3.1hc upgrade and am running at 1.6Ghz stable. My music is uploading to Google Music as I type and I'm streaming my first few albums. I also have the video app and books app with access to public domain books that Canadian stock does not have. Plus, we have SD card support.
I think this means that it's time all of us non-US folks donate to brd for making our Xooms far more useful. Upgrading will be scary now, as to lose these services will suck!
I wonder if we can get the APK so we can side load this onto our phones. I have it in canada as well and it is working great on my Xoom! Unfortunately I am going to lose that when I get my Galaxy tab 10.1 next week.
