I had a specific question regarding HTC Audiomanager (and the tab) in this version of TF3D.
In the older att tilt and older versions of Manila and HTC Home, if you were playing a song, but then hit the library button to go back and pick a song, it would remember where you left off on your list. Or the song that was playing currently. For example. If you had songs listed from #A,B,C to Z...if you were listening to Womanizer by Britney Spears, if you hit the library button it would show that song first rather than say some sony that started w/ a # or A (basically the beginning of the library).
But when i moved from the Tilt to the Fuze i noticed that anytime you hit the Library button the player always reverts to the beginning of the list.
My first question is on the Tilt2 and TouchPro2 when you hit the library button does it revert to where you left off, or does it automatically got back to the beginning like on the tilt.
Secondly, for those that have a good amount of songs, is there anyway to quickly scroll through a list of songs. Say if you have 400+ and you're browsing the music by song name, if you want to get to 'Sharp Dressed Man' at the bottom of the list, do you just have to spend forever flicking the screen...or is there some type of scroll bar like there was in older versions where you can just drag it down.
thanx in advance...
I picked up my Tilt 2 yesterday. Let me load some songs when I get home from work and I will get back to you.
sweet thanks so much man, id reaaaaally appreciate it. its honestly one of the few things i hate about my fuze...and im really hoping the same wont be true with the tilt 2
Unfortuately it always reverts back to the beginning of the library and you have to flick ad nausem to get back to the bottom letters. I have over 2000 songs on my SD card and it's not fun.
HTC desperately needs to add an alpha quick jump menu along the side so one can jump directly to "T" for example.
S
for a company that is so big, and especially one thats really starting to make some savvy media centric devices...this is one of the biggest ball drops i've seen in a long time. its plain stupid if you ask me. I wonder if a 'resume on current artist' as far as flicking through the library could be something fixed w/ a registry edit.
My audio manager seems defective or something. Songs play for 10 secs then stop. I don't know if the problem is hardware or what but it happend with stock rom and flashed rom.
oh yeah....another question guys, to those that have the TP2/tilt 2
when switching between tabs, especially when the device is coming out of standby, if you switch from say the home tab to the music tab, on my fuze it takes honestly a good 20 seconds for the actual sony information/music tab to actually open up while i'm playing the music.
For example, days that i'm not using my BT headphones and i'm actually using some corded ones, if i want to switch tracks, i unlock my device and go from the home tab to music, but just to switch tracks it takes a good 20 seconds because the player just sits at a blank screen. Does the audiomanager in the current Rhodium build do this same thing?
This along w/ the starting at the top of the list, and lack of a good scrolling solution are my 3 biggest peeves about audiomanager. I swear, i can't think of any company who's updated their software (for any product for that matter) and actually made it worse and less functional than a version they had 2+ years ago....rant over

Just got hold my new Orbit and I must say I'm very impressed. I've had just about every xda released over the years and I would never have dreamed of having so many features packed into such a small package a few years ago.
Anyway, I have a couple of questions which I'm hoping someone can help me with.
Something that has always bugged me about transfering files onto the device is that using USB via activesync seems about 10 times slower than using a memory card reader. Now that the memory card is not easily accessed is there a faster way to transfer files from pc to memory card? Is there a setting somewhere in Activesync to speed things up or some other faster way (bluetooth, wifi etc?)
Secondly, is there an easy way to key/screen lock this phone and/or turn the screen off while playing mp3's?
Assuming I'm playing a few mp3's in MediaPlayer or TCPMP, I want to be able to put it in my pocket right? So far the only method I've found is to close the player and hit the "lock device" on the today screen. Two problems with this though... Every time the mouse is touched (constant movment in my pocket) the backlight comes on. To then pause the music, adjust the volume or change track I have to first unlock it, reopen the player and hit the button, then go through the whole rigmarole again.
Why can't it just keep playing after switch off like the radio
bump.
Anyone?
USB transfers are always slow.
Try deltalock (freeware) for the screen problem - assign it to a key.
Mortsaver is also pretty good for the screen issue.
This may solve the screen off while playing MP3s as it has a screen off button built in
Today Player is a cool mp3 player on today screen, only takes up one line, also shows battery & memory bars when not playing music, and equaliser bars when it is, free download at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=811
As I'm using WM6.5 at the moment, and I want to fully use the options from the Titaniummenu, I'm forced to use WMP. I have a nice skin for the program, and everything works great.
But when I press the next or previous button, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds before the next/previous number starts. Those files are on the storage card.
When I switch between music on my device, it takes about 3-5 seconds.
I find this very annoying and want to know if I can do something about it. I've used PocketPlayer before and when I pressed next in that program, the next song started immediately or, when configured, with a nice crossfade. But there was no silent moment.
Can I speed up WMP's time to read from the storage card, and/or is it possible to have a crossfade?

I don't know if I can help but I skin this player constanly and am doing a skin at the moment. All of my music is in the storage card and any delay would at most be .5 of a second it may have to do with 6.5 all I could suggest is if you could send or post the skin your using I could maby have a look at it and see if anything is out that I may be able to fix. PM me if need be

I am having the same problem, about 10-15 seconds between tracks playing. I am using Arups RRE 6.5 V1 ROM on Fuze which has his own skin for WMP included.
I read on another thread that it might have something to do with the Notification Que needing to be cleaned out. Does this sound right?
Any help greatly appreciated.
I've read a couple of times on this forum that the original 8gb SD-card that comes with the Touch HD is not of a very good quality, in speed I mean.
Is that right? Would my WMP switch songs faster when I bought a new and better card?
I am using a class 6 8gb card on my Fuze and have no other slowness on my system. I also find that the delay is more prevalent when I have shuffle turned ON. I have about 6gb of music on the card. The delay is a lot less when using TF3D music instead on WMP.
Hi All,
Using official htc sea wm 6.5

=================
Anyone encountered this so called memory leak before??
Try this:
Lock screen by going Start (honeycomb) then lock
I noticed if i lock the screen memory uses up ALOT whole faster... within half a day it hits to 78% used... When incoming calls, screen does not show, but phone vibrates, i press the answer and phone picks up ok... other functions like sms and emails works ok, but alot slower too.
2
==============
I'm also using a mp3 ringtone though.. not such if this caused it, i have actually shorten and compressed the file already, was 7mb, drop to 3mb to 1.8mb now to 1mb...
I noticed when calls comes in, the screen does not lag that much (earlier issue does not happen in this assumption)...
3
==============
Camera application if activated in my pocket (Mis-press, i current assume so..) for unknown amount of time, i notice it and close it.. applications fail to launch properly...
Bottom menus (the phone(left), camera(right) on home screen etc) all dont work anymore.. it jus does not display out properly..
Top menus (close button etc) also does not display properly.. say i press start button (top right on home screen), the top menus bar changes to light blue, but honeycomb on main windows does not come out. No close button on top right either, but i can still close it (looks like not rendered properly of sorts)
TouchFlo3d works still though... i can rotate around phone, contact etc etc
4
==============
Memory uses up alot faster... after i soft reset the phone.. memory hovers at 50%, within an hour will go up to 61% odd.. but stabilizes... phone can be used ok..
5
==============
There are occasional random crashing of god knows what.. sometimes during sms i notice theres a popup of errors in some service of sorts... notice happens during sending sms mostly...
6
==============
Screen auto changes between landscape and portrait mode, sometimes it auto recovers, else, i need to slide out keyboard for awhile, wait for it to stablise, then close keyboard. Not sure if this is the result of taking out from the lather pouch??
Anyone noticed or encountered all these before?? HELP!! ; ;
Program installed:
==============
Google Maps (Update)
Batti
Carmin Mobile XT
Windows Live (Update)
NoPushInternet
MarketPlace
Youtube (Update)
WorldMate Live Installer
WorldMate Live
SKTools
MySoftReset
All programs have been there more or less for a few months already... The programs indicated with (update) means i updated further from default.
Is this a software thingy probably that a hard reset could solve it, or this is more like a thingy that needs to go into service center??
1. That sounds normal. I was using the official HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM a while back and I remembered that the RAM usage stabilized at around 75%. This is regardless whether you use the lockscreen or not.
2. Don't know what you mean...
3. Sounds like a one-off thing. Can you replicate the problem consistently?
4. This is normal. Goes for all WinMo devices.
5. Sounds like an issue with your carrier's network.
6. My best guess is that the magnet on the pouch is affecting the screen rotation.

I use a 1MB mp3 file. Works fine for me. But I can see that it makes sense for there to be a lag if a large file was used. Lesson here is: try to use small sound files for performance!

Hi,
So i have some serious issues with my touch pro 2 and i wanted to know if this is ''normal'' or if i should contact HTC.
I first had an Iphone 3G but i wanted a physical keyboard so i brought the touch pro 2, the first few months i just had a few issues but now it's getting really bad let me list them:
1. Random calls, this is the worst one it keeps calling the last person that calls me first i tought it was the headset because it only calls people when the headset is plugged in. Today i jammed the headset button but it keeps calling the last person that called me randomly, since 1 week it also does this without the headset connected even when the phone is just sitting on the table.
2. Keylock, i don't know if i say it right but it is when you lock your phone so you can put it in your pocket and it won't do stuff. It DOESN'T work if i lock it (i go to start press lock and than turn the screen off) it still keeps doing stuff and calling random persons. Also sometimes i can turn the volume down and up and sometimes i can't.
3. Messages, When i send a message after i pressed send 50% of the message still keeps inside the message screen (just looks like i typed a new message)
4. Media player, it doesn't work in any way,shape or form. First it work ''fine'' but now i can't get my music in it i tried multiple ways but it won't work. The worst thing is i connected it to my pc transferd some music and the freaking thing copied ALL my audio from my pc to the phone (i make movies so i have 1000's of sound effects) and those are ALL in my media player exept my music.
5. Random things to start, when i'm doing stuff in opera suddently my text inbox launches or my email for no reason.
6. The on/off/lock switch, it is waaaayyyy to responive sometimes it just turn the device on in my pocket or turns it off.
7. Digital keyboard, i can switch it to 3 different types of keyboards but it's just random if i want to switch it i just tick the button really fast and sometimes the menu will pop-up sometimes it won't. And when i selected the right keyboard it sometimes decides to switch backagain or to some other keyboard.
8. WI-FI, sometimes it will just turn on the wi-fi for no reason, when i go to settings and check if it's on it sais it isn't but it still tries to connect to a hotspot.
9. RAM memory, it's always around 80% with NO applications running when i keep this thing on for longer than 24 hours i can't play video's anymore because it doesn't has enough RAM so i have to turn it off and on again.
10. Album, for some reason it's just giving random error's while it's still working.
This are only my major problems there are alot more i've got, i really get irritated by this phone sometimes i just feel like smashing it. Especialy when it keeps calling random people non-stop for 1 minute long.
When i wanted a new phone i saw that the touch pro 2 has windows on it, now i know windows has some problems so i hoped windows mobile will just work fine but as i can see it won't.
Here is some phone info:
HTC touch pro 2
4 months old
firmware 6.5
didn't mess it up or anything everything is still original.
restored it to factory settings 3 times but it won't help with solving the problems.
Is this just common for this phone or is it just my phone? Because if it is common i will contact HTC that i want my money back because i didn't payed 700 Euro's for a phone that isn't working properly.
Never had a problem like those....
Sounds like a bad handset.
Ditto, sounds like a defective device. Time to cash in on that warranty! Nonetheless, here's a couple of comments corresponding to your issues.
1 & 2
Sounds like your device is registering phantom presses of the call start button.
3
Don't know...
4
Just use drag and drop to your microSD. Don't depend on WMP to sync.
5
Random things shouldn't happen. If it happens even after a hard reset, it's definitely defective.
6
Never heard of the standby button on the TP2 being over-sensitive.
7
To bring up the keyboard selector, you need to tap the tiny triangle on the right of the keyboard icon. Alternatively, you can long-tap on the keyboard icon.
8
Definitely weird.
9
WinMo 6.5 is a RAM hog. But nonetheless, even at 80% RAM usage, you should still have about 46MB free. That really shouldn't stop you from doing anything. Many ppl use a RAM cleaner. My personal practice is to just do a soft-reset every 2 days.

What errors are you seeing?
Dear all
I am new to this forum and new to using HTC, so therefore would like to share my experience and to see whether anyone else shares the same experience:
In terms of battery life, I can get through virtually the whole day on one charge, this includes streaming videos for around 2 hours, playing games like GTA3, Shadowgun, Riptide, for an hour~ Listen to FM radio for 30 minutes and just general texting now and again.
HOWEVER I have had the phone since April 5th and since 2 or 3 days ago I have been experiencing a bug that prevents me from unlocking my phone. Once the screen is blacked out in standby mode and I click the power button to turn on the screen and try to pull the ring up to unlock, I am unable to do so. The ring stays locked at the bottom with a few minor bounces and at the top of the screen a text reads pull the ring up to unlock. The only way for me to unlock the screen is to activate the settings menu from the locked screen and then click the home button. Additionally once I am back from the unlock screen the lower portion of my screen where I had difficulty unlocking the phone operates as normal. I have tried searching this forum but maybe I am a uber noob but can't find any mention of this or any fixes. Does anyone have this issue? Do I need to return my phone? The phone is with Three UK and I purchased the handset through Affordable Mobiles.
Additionally is it me or does the phone not enable multitasking? I have loaded a youtube video for example half way through but if I use the recent app button or home button to access another program say "Fruit Ninja" and then reload into the Internet app, the handset is forced to reload the webpage thus losing all my previous loaded stream. This is the same when I play GTA3 if I hit the home button by mistake and then quickly try to re-enter the game it loads the game from the start rather than resuming the gameplay.
I have recently also seen "noise" and other artifacts and screen anomalies. Additionally the screen flex is becoming more and more noticeable.
Hope someone can help! But atm I am thinking how the hell can they have released this product after alpha and beta testing should have uncovered these issues right?
Best wishes

For the unlocking, do you use a silicone cover for your phone? I heard this stops the screen from working due to static no ground (which would usually be your hand) as the silicone cover isn't a conductor the screen has no ground!!!
I don't have a silicon cover but I do have a screen protecter. Does no one else have a issue with the unlocking ofthe phone
