Hey all, i really want this as everyone seems to rate it but when you download the CAB file it downloads two link files and an XML which takes you to opera - doesn't seem to want to download like a normal CAB file...still a bit new at all of this but if anyone can tell me how I actually get it installed and working I would be very grateful!
Thanks.
Try this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
Put the cab file on the device, find it on the device using explorer & launch it. It will install.

Getting rid of MusicID
Hey all, posted on this before but it seems to have gotten lost. I downloaded MusicID using the links people posted, never got it to work so tried to uninstall and it left an icon in my programmes, did what people said and tried to uninstall by reinstalling and now i have THREE musicid icons left none of which work - can someone tell me how to get rid of this horrid programme (which incidentally sadly doesnt compare with Shazam at all :-( )

This is the third new thread you have started on this topic. Please read the sticky at the top of the Forum and stop polluting - this is not a Helpdesk and you are not entitled to an answer.
I suspect diligent use of the search tool would give you what you need - I'm sure I remember seeing a solution
Thank you for your post.
There is no solution posted here as regards to uninstall (and my initial direction was as to "install"), or rather there is one that was posted to another member and does not work, indeed it is a problem many have referenced hence the inquiry (not a demand for a response).
There are many questions posed here with people asking for assistance and many people who are good enough to provide answers recognising that is part of the spirit of this forum - if you do not wish to answer the thread then there is no obligation to do so but I do not feel that people should have any hesitation in posting on any matter they may choose.
If by what your saying you mean there's an broken shortcut to the application under the programs menu that was left behind after you uninstalled the application, you can delete those broken links by going into Windows/Start menu/Programs. Here you should see all the .lnk files associated with every program you have on your phone (including the broken links for musicId). Just delete these and they should be gone. Of course needless to say.....I'm sure you've already uninstalled the application from under start-->settings-->system-->remove programs.
in /windows/Start menu/Programs folder remove the icons.
and i agree with iain.fraser, a simple bump to the original thread should have sufficed
Thank you for the help.
The icons are there when you go windows/start/programs (not in the scroll down start menu or the slide along menu but actually on the programmes screen which shows all programmes i.e just like the icons for all the other applications, activesync, camera etc...) and cant seem to be deleted from there and there is no option to delete icons ( this is following uninstalling the programme by "removing programmes").
Its always good to have a program like SK Tools and officialy uninstall the programs from there to make sure they are completely gone!
Hmmmm that's weird. What options do you get if you tap and hold using your stylus on the musicID icons? Coz well, deleting icons is a pretty straight forward process.

Your slightly hurt tone might have been avoided by your reading the rules of the Forum, which apply to you just as they do to everyone else here.
It is not your request that poses an issue, rather the three requests in fairly quick succession, which edges towards demanding.
Plugging the search terms 'MusicID' and 'uninstall' into the Forum Search facility at the top of the Forum returned two hits, the second of which is a thread around the coolest applications installed. Post 17 of that thread purports to offer a solution to uninstalling. If you have already tried that, you could widen out to other Forums, to the Internet as a whole, or even contact the developers of MusicID before bumping one of your original threads. Any of these would be fine - starting another new thread isn't.
Please do read the sticky - it might prove useful in future
Thanks i know its strange and frustrating - basically it created a new file called "ATT music", you click on that file in the programmes page (not the touch flo programme page where you can select and remove whatever you want but the windows programme page which shows you everything) and it opens a new icon saying "3 music id" i try to delete that by holding the stylus on it and it just says the file cannot be opened and to try reinstalling or restoring it. There are three such ATT files now on my system that i can't delete.
Hmmm...try deleting the files through activesync. Or as a last resort.....use SK Tools. It's pretty effective. You can download a trial version.
Good Luck.
Great thanks - i'll give it a go. help much appreciated!!!

Hi, Sorry to hear it did not work for you. Did you have .net 3.5 installed?
This is the link I used to find the right cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
I did read on another forum that the trick to uninstalling it was to install again on top and reply "yes" to the remove earlier version option and then cancel the install after that.
It works very well on my HD - I can sit in the chair across the room from the radio and it will pick up the music fine and after about 30 seconds it has done the sampling, analyzing and provided the track details.
It's not very good on classical music though !!
Thanks cheesy dave. I tried what the uninstall by reinstall and it just gave me another dead icon (now 3 as i tried it twice).
It's a shame as it looks like fun if you can get it to work. I think i have the old net compact (is there a way to check) maybe the first thing i should do is upgrade it.

Hi, you should know if you have .Net 3.5 as it needs to be installed separately. By default the HD comes with the much earlier .Net framework. So if you have to ask then probably you have only the standard. I would recommend installing the new version - there are links in this forum for it. Also, try the wiki pages:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
Many applications need the new version to work. I personally have no idea if musicid needs it. It does work fine on my HD and I do have .net 3.5 installed and set as the default.
Here is a useful link that has the registry key you can check to see what .net you have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460006
I find the musicid fun, I doubt I will use it every day but now and then it will be good to have it available.
Regards, D
Here is the Microsoft link for .Net 3.5:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en&tm
(if the link is no good then go to microsoft and search for "NETCFSetupv35")

what happened when you tried SKtools?
i ask this whitin a rom thread but i've got no answer so i decided to open a new thread, maybe somebody would answer here
no matter what rom i use (6.5), when the phone starts following processes are loaded (among others):
- CommManager.exe
- AudioManager_eng.exe
- AlbumSearcher.exe
- tmail.exe
- JBlendDaemon.exe
- Opera9.exe
if i manualy close them, nothing wrong happens and the device works normaly.
can somebody explain what each of these processes does and if there is any way to stop loading them when the phone boots becase they eat a lot of memory and i belive they also lead to a longer boot time
thank you!
i see a mod moved this from rom section to general section
i know is not realy rom related, but i started this on rom section because i imagined i have more chances to get answers there where guys dealing with infos like these are present, then in the general section where is most likely to be present beginners with HD
whatever, it seems that here nobody knows the answers
I'm not sure what all of them do, but the majority is there to help them in starting up quick.
This is the case for:
CommManager
tmail (the email client)
Opera9
This will prolly also be the case for the others, but i'm not sure

1. I recommend updating your ROM by downloading any of the custom ROMs in the ROM Development section. There are tutorials on there to guide you. Custom ROMs provide a lot of eye-candy and stability (though they usually have their own bugs). You should try multiple ROMs until you find one that best suits you. You could probably try the EnergyROM series (like the one in my signature).
2. (Same as above).
3. You could download a registry editor (do a search on XDA to download one) (these are built-in to most ROMs) and change the values found here to improve your camera. Though, I do think the camera is still sensitive to even the slightest motion.
Hello,
I had my Magic for 4 months now and I think that I'm done "playing" with it; by that, I mean trying different ROMS, apps or tweaks !
I sticked with CM6, a classic choice but a wise one I guess. However, I'm still left with several questions or thoughts :
- Is there a way to get a nice general rotate animation ? Rotation just prompts when the phone is tilted and I find it to be a rather abrupt transition. App "Floating Images" offers what I would want to see on all my system.
I guess it's not possible but if tweaks exist, I'm listening...
- I can't install Flash Player. It is nowhere to be found on the market for me. Can't install it from AppBrain either. Titanium Back-up says it is installed on the phone but the package is crossed-out.
Is this a common bug with CM6 ?
- Is it possible to have decent video playback performances with the HTC Magic ? I briefly had a HTC Mega before and with equal (even lesser) specifications, the Mega, using WM6, offers great video playback of various kinds of file ! How come it is so hard to read even a small video on the device ?
I tried several apps but the result is always the same; buggy...
- How can I get a transparent notification bar ? I found a lot of threads but nothing for the Magic specifically...
I would have other questions but that's it for the moment !
Thanks !
Hey Guys,
Welcome to the FAQ Thread.
There are many questions being asked about various aspects of wp7, how do you do this, how do you do that.
For the majority of these questions, there are answers.
This thread is dedicated to provide answers to those questions that are repeatedly asked, but in an ever growing forum are "difficult" to find.
This thread will be regularly updated to provide a "one stop shop" for all your niggles.
Before you create a new thread, please read Mskips guide HERE and read this thread.
Many thanks for helping to keep this forum tidy and uncluttered.

FAQ's
[*]Q - My WP7 Leo tells me there is an update available, can i update? & Update is not successful, why?
A - What you have to ask yourself is, "what type of phone do i have?" which of course the answer is an HD2. Now obviously your device has been reg tweaked to think that it is an HD7, so why would the update work? - To put it bluntly, no the update will not work for your HD2.
.

A - Look at the sticky guide by mskips, link above, please dont ask or open a new thread, all the info is found above.
.
Q - How do i activate live services?
A - Look here for a good guide

.
Q - How do i reduce the UI sound level, its still very high when volume is set low?
A - Change this reg key : HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume/MaxdBatten from 45 to 100

internet sharing
two of the most wonderful features of the hd2 is that it allows internet sharing and it accepts 3rd party apps.
my ? is does flashing wp7 terminates these functions?
also can you dual boot win 6.5 and wp7?

lol, sure, when im not doing anything else
Seriously though, these faq's were mainly pre mango once NoDo had been released.
Just letting the dust settle after the mango update, mango faq can be found in the thread.
