Yeah, that's a very popular program for a lot of people here.
Been about a week now since I've discovered Orb. Pretty kick ass indeed. But then again, couldn't iPhone users use Orb as well?
This must be the same guy that after driving from NY to FL he realized his turn signal was still on from when he left his house in NY.

Hehe.... nice. I think for that to ring true, he'd have to be 70+ years old and drive a Cadillac with a clothes bar hanging in the back seat.
And to ThaiM; iPhone users could use it, but they wouldn't. (hint: It doesn't have any flippy, dazzly GUI to poke at)

and ORB isnt antiquted with old technology (Edge) so an iPhone user would be confused.

Yes sorry, but ORB is almost legendary (in a good way) I dont use it though I LOVE my SLINGBOX!!!
Orb is great, I just don't like tha, as far as i know, my pc has to do all the work.
I have a dedicated orb server running im my closet, 24/7/365.25. Its an old little thing, but it handles music well, but not videos.
Fortunatley my connections, upload atleast, is good. Almost 1/mbit second.
It (orb) does lack a few things though.
Internet Radio shouldn't need a pc to be used, and it lacks SuperAdmin settins IMHO.
But you are right. It's a great program. EASY to use.
I have tried to use it as XM Radio in my car, sorta kinda works.

^^ +1 I must agree. Slingbox is awesome. Too bad the iPHONERS cant use it, awww....
i have been using orb and it works great... but do have an issue with it.. i went and created several playlists.. when i play them it will go through the first song, and maybe the 2nd, but then it flips out and starts playing random tracks and wont play them for any longer than a minute... if i play the tracks individually then there isnt a problem.. has anyone experienced this??

That function is built into ORB.
In preferences go to the setting for "play tunes with a minus rating" and tick the box.
You'll find that your Box Car Willie and Jim Reeves, Albums to Die For collection, will now play in sequence.
Please note that this change will not stick after reset unless you carry out a warranty voiding ROM downgrade.
This was was a Health and Safety requirement insisted on by HTC who wished to protect their staff who might accidentally use ORB when devices were sent for repair.

What device / media player are you talking about?
If it's Windows Mobile 5 media player there is a known bug that prevents it from skipping correctly to the next song. Use TCPMP instead (You'll find other posts about it on the forums).
Apart from that I don't know of any problem playing a folder, just browse to that folder and click "play all" on a phone or on pc click the play button without selecting any song.

Hey guys,
I noticed when I plug in headphones it pops that stupid little icon up saying "You have earphones plugged, want to launch mah crap?" and found it rather annoying. Especially because I use the Google Music app, and when you're playing music there's two pairs of headphones. Looks cluttered.
After a little snooping through system APKs for which one looks after that I found that it's called ContextAwareService.apk in /system/app/
If you delete this the audio applications area doesn't show up in the notification area as well as the headphones icon.
If you want to remove it, back up the APK first because I don't know if it stops anything else (I haven't noticed anything breaking). If you didn't back it up... you're lucky because I've attached the original APK.
Hope this helps someone, I saw people wondering if you can modify that list. I personally just wanted to remove it because I removed the Samsung crap and it was displaying an empty area and two headphones when I used the Google Music app.
You do need to be rooted for this, and my suggestion is to use Root Explorer if you don't know your way around ADB
i dont mind it i just wish i could change the garbage listed in it.
It can also just be frozen with titanium backup if rooted.
Can anyone confirm if this disables anything else?

Thank you very much! I can't get my head around why that icon even exists? I mean do we really need a reminder that we have our headphones plugged in? Are we that stupid?
Used TB to freeze that service and it worked great. Thanks again.
Now wondering what else gets affected by that service?

I've had it frozen all day and haven't noticed any problems as of yet. So far so good. It's nice to have that clutter gone. Thanks again.

YES! I was wondering the same thing just yesterday. 2 headphone icons so you know that music is play (I'm deaf?) and that headphones are plugged in (I'm blind?).

For those who have yet to root, you can also use the ICS Disable App function. Seems to work just fine for removing it. I would be interested in modifying the apps and use it, but until we can mod it, I will disable it.

How do you disable a service without root? I don't think this is an actual app... right?
what is the big deal about a headphone icon? are you sitting there staring at it or something? lol smh

If you go under Settings -> App Manager -> All -> And it's in that list, much safer and easier than TitaniumBackup and ADB, and it's easily reversible.

It's more of a preference, I don't like a bunch of icons at the top. Might be a little bit of a minimalist. I prefer to keep that area clean for notifications instead of notifying me that I have a headset/aux cable plugged in.
Long shot.
Do you know how we can get rid of the persistant connected to wifi in teh notification area?
It is not needed and steals from real estate.
Thank you. After knocking out the ongoing wifi notification and the annoying wifi pop-up, this was my last annoyance.
Now that I've frozen it with Titanium Backup, it's all good.

Edit: Didn't notice someone else already answered it, my bad, sorry for the spam.
Go into settings, then application manager, then all and find it. If you click on it it will give you the option to disable it.
This is exactly what I have been looking for, thanks!
Don't know if anyone's said this but, you could name it to .bak so it doesn't go away.

"constantly almost randomly". What do you exactly mean? Does it happen when you play certain music, does it happen when you search for something or what else? A fix would be de- and reinstall.

Sorry i mean that it happens doing anything in the app. I've tried reinstalling but it didnt help
Since when does it occur? Since beginning or at a later point? Maybe another app in background lets it constantly crash.

I just went to try reinstall it on the play store and it says my android version isnt supported. Im running stock 6.0.1 with the Feb security update
My guess, as you have probably figured out by now, is apple music itself - no current support to 6.0.1 which leads to errors. What Nexus do you use? 6p, 6, 5x, 5?
Get Spotify, so much better
Or get an iPhone....
Hey buddy
I have htc u play from 1 month ago
When I bought it and start using this phone, HTC update suggest me to download 4 files one by one and install them.
The phone was good and worked properly until the last file update!
About 10 days later, update system suggest me to download and install the 50Mb file! The important things is the longer time for installing that update, around 30 min!!!
After that my phone became boring because the battery runs out and gets warm even I was just using the web surfing!
No a days I have to charge my battery 2 times a day!
Would u please help me how can I fix this problem?
Thank u in advance
Got a similar problem too
Hi,
Can you check your CPU activity when the phone is idle?
You can read this post describing the problem:

You first have to be sure the problem is the same.
Install the CPU-Z app from the Google Play Store (this is a free apps). Run the app and go un the SoC tab.
Wait some seconds for the phone to be in Idle (10-15 seconds).
If your phone has not this problem, you should have only the Core 0 running at 598Mhz.
If your phone has this problem, you shoult have Core 4 et Core 5 running at full speed (1950Mhz) => Consequences: Phone is getting warmer and you have a huge battery drain.

Yes the problem is different. It's strange that your phone become ward with a low CPU Activity. When you check in settings the battery report, you see nothing interesting about an app draining you battery?
Did this ever get resolved? I have to fix it on my mum's phone.
Hello Photographerpete,
You have the same problem that i have describe? 2 Cores of CPU allways on?
I do... well my mum does.
You can try:
Go to settings>Applications>Google Play Service.
Uninstall updates
Wait 2 minutes and check CPU activity.
Only Core 0 must be running at 597Mhz.
After that, you can re-update Google Play services, but don't reboot the phone or the problem is going to be back.
Open a ticket at HTC support. If we all open a ticket at HTC support, the patch is going to come faster.
Keep me informed.
