Buttons on a Motorolla HT820 Stereo Headset - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories

I recently bought a HT820, and I got it working with my SX66, but the Play/Pause and the track forward/back buttons don't work. Is there any way to map those buttons to a function on the SX66?

Not that I know of (the 3900 stack doesn't seem to support the AVRCP profile). I'm looking for this, too...

I recently bought a HT820, and I got it working with my SX66
I have an XDAiis and have recently purchased the same headphones, I upgraded the bluetooth settings from the site below
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...age BT 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00/
I too can now listen to stereo audio but again the buttons on the right hand earpiece do not work.
I think that the problem lies with Windows media 10.
Try using TCPMP, which is free software, (use google), you will find that all buttons now work.
The software isn't as friendly to use as WM10 but at least the buttons fully operate on the headphones.
Good luck

How to force buttons work in WMP 10.
The buttons do not work because BtCeAvIf.dll contains some tricky code to control WMP. It looks for the skin file to parse it for the button positions and then send messages to WMP window. But the place in registry and the skin files themselves changes from wmp 9. So we need to fix both.
The idea is to make new skin files and force widcomm code to use them. WMP 10 should use the new ones of course.
Look in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins] în your device
There must be several string variables, we need "DefaultPortraitSkin" and "DefaultLandscapeSkin", there the paths to skin files, portrait192.skn and landscape192.skn (or 96 for non VGA devices)
Find the files in \\Windows folder and copy them on PC. Rename them in e.g. _portrait192.skn
and _landscape192.skn
Then open them in notepad (turn word wrap off in it).
Find "PlayPauseStop" and delete all in and later columns (remove everything after 0,0,0). This line should look like all other buttons defininitions. Rename "PlayPauseStop" in "PlayPause" and align all.
Copy the new renamed files back to device.
Create new registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player\Parameters]
"DefaultLandscapeSkin"="\\Windows\\_landscape192.skn"
"DefaultPortraitSkin"="\\Windows\\_portrait192.skn"

It works with my Anycom headset! Thanks!!!
Just make sure you replace every number 192 in the trick with 96 (as the Blue Angel is a QVGA device). Oh, and the double backslashes in the registry strings at the end should be single backslashes (and don't include any quotes in the strings).

Tried it, and it didnt work :-(
I think i did it right, ill double check after dinner,
any one else had any luck with hacking the registry thing?

i spoke to soon, well sort of
Doesnt work with windows media player 10
but does work with TCPMP :-D
which is the better of the players anyhow :-D
So result :-D

hoping for success

i have portrait and landscape in both 192 and 96 (4 files)
do i edit all 4 files? could i get something to copy and paste?
using wmp10. not too comfortable with reg edit. can try but any thing i need to know?
thanks for directions, hopefully i'll be ok

i only eidted the 96 ones
i wasnt to comfortable with regedit, but i used a program that allowed me to edit it on the pc, to make it easier.
i wrote a very bad guide how i got it working with tcpmp ( a better player than wm10)
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2840.0
if it helps
but it didnt work with wm10 with me once i done this tho :-(
good luck

fully functioning headset/A2DP only thing missing now is...
voice command would put this thing over the top.
right now i would even settle for voice tags to make calls
anyone got any ideas about that?
thanks for BT setup instructions. i may not be the brightest, but i am not dee dee dee...
have a great night, waiting to hear some input.

I really don't know if it's possible on the Blue Angel... More recent devices already have some kind of headset/voice command support, only using a different program, so you just have to make it use MS Voice Command instead. But the with the BA, you'd have to implement it from scratch.
Still... it would be excellent if someone could get it to work.

BT hands free Fix??? Maybe..

I think I found a fix for the BT Hands Free not working the way it should.. I can even use call waiting now and it does not kill the mic when I switch back to the first call..
I set the phone settings to automatically pick up after one ring.. No, it will not automatically pick up after one ring but, now I am getting the name to display in the caller ID field of my xLive mp3-BT headset. and it is working consistently.. I HAVE NEVER gotten it to work consistently before.. NEVER. i will try it with my Jabra BT800 later too.
I think it makes a "deeper" or better connection by making the phone try and make the BT headset device automatically answer???
I am using 2.20 OS and it is the only one that I have found to work, (not fully but it does work BETTER), please try this with other Hands Free devices like car kits and HBH660 etc.. Also try this with 2.02 and 2.06

umm. a bit confusing. care to rephrase.
In depth
With 2.02 or 2.06 or the Sin's merged OS, ANY BT headset device or car kit device that needs to use the Hands Free profile, the mic does not work on the device and there is sound that comes out of the XDAII speaker and only the mic on the XDAII works.
People can not hear you when the only mic that is working is on your phone..
Now on the 2.20 translated OS, Hands Free profile does work BETTER. It does not work fully! The caller ID is not displayed right all the time and the most frustrating part is, when the phone receives a call on call waiting, you can switch over to the other call BUT when you switch back, it acts like 2.20-2.06 and the mic only works on the phone, not on the BT device and both the speakers are going giving you a "stereo" affect.
Well, why not just use the Headset Profile you ask???
I LOVE the ability to be able to scroll through my recent call list, see who is calling via the small caller ID display on my BT device and make phone calls... ALL without having to open up my PDA case or look around for my briefcase and find my XDAII.
I have all the power of a regular phone on my ear or around my neck.
BT devices that need to use Hands Free profile are ones like the BT800
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=BT800
or The HBH 660
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=114271
or the new one that has not been released with the only difference of it has a battery life display too.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=118678
xLive
do a search at http://www.expansys.com/ for xlive.
The xLive MP3 player - Hands Free phone device also allows me to punch in the numbers with the little joy stick and make a call. (It has other bugs though. Wait until a newer version than 1.23c comes out. They still have the old version listed. http://www.alfa-tech.com.hk/index_download.html )
Other devices that require Hands Free profile, are devices like Car Kits..
They require Hands Free profile so the caller ID is displayed and and other more robust feature can be activated.
Headset profile does not support caller ID nor other more powerful features.
My fix...
With the Hands Free profile, and setting the phone to auto answer after one ring, the caller ID is displayed with the name if it is in your contacts AND most importantly, the duel speaker and only mic on the XDAII thing does not happen when you receive another call and switch back to the original call. :lol: :wink:
Hello,
I have stumbled upon the BT problem also, and am having problems since then. I installed BT Tools, and removed the handsfree setting, but still a lot of problems.
I was quite happy seeing your post, so i Removed BT Tools, paired my HBH-660, and used your "fix".
Obervations:
When pairing, the ppc asks to set the headset as handsfree devide, and twice to set is as headset. When clicking Yes for the three, my PPC
does the following: When set not to auto-answer, the phone number is displayed on my headset, when answering, the stereo and mike effect appears.
When set to auto-answer, the phone number is displayed once, when clicking to answer the call on the headset the headset stops, the handsfree icon dissapears on the ppc, the headset icon appears, and a normal conversation is possible, without stereo and mike effect.
When i only select handsfree pofile when pairing, the stereo and mike effect appear with and without auto-answer.
I also never get the name in the display, only the phone number, eventhough the name appears on the PPC, is this a setting somehwere, or just my headset (HBH-660)
Conclusion
What OS are you using?
I am assuming 2.02 or 2.06 with the registry hkey local M, software, Microsoft, Bluetooth, "HandsfreeProfileOn"
On my Jabra BT800, I still only receive a phone number if I do not have their number in the PPC call history or as long as it is not in my Contacts too.. IE.. It only displays if it is a brand new number.
On the Xlive, it displays the number or the name, no matter what.. Well that is until the xLive times out.. Now do not go out and buy one yet, my version 1.23c is the newest OS but it needs an update. It only works for about 10 min and then you have to turn it off and back on and push the BT button 2 times and then it will work again for another 10 min!!!! :evil: :? This also happens on my wife's MPX300 with the latest ROM so it is not a problem with the XDAII software.
Bottom line = With the 2.20 OS and my "fix", The stereo affect is gone on all of my devices.. ANYCOM HS-880, Jabra BT800, Xlive XBM-100, Motorola HS810 and some other Motorola BT headset that has a AAA battery in it..
(Yes, I have bought a lot of them.. I loose things and I was hoping they would work.) :roll:
Now about your 2.02 or 2.06 OS, When you said, "When set to auto-answer, the phone number is displayed once, when clicking to answer the call on the headset the headset stops, the handsfree icon dissapears on the ppc, the headset icon appears, and a normal conversation is possible, without stereo and mike effect. " I would like to know what happens when you set it to answer on 2 or 3 rings, maybe it will display the caller ID longer. Also, I would like to know if the stereo affect comes back when you get another call on call waiting.
I tried it in version 2.06 and it does not work. It can connect the bt earpieces, but no sound. It kills the connection with the original MS bt stack as well.
I believe the OS you are using is 2.20, just wonder is it a Simplified Chinese OS ?

If you use OS 2.20 the problem is gone. During pairing select ONLY the first time is asks for Handsfree/headset. Discard the second time. (I Don't know why exactly)
Be aware that no matter how "simple" a headset looks, they have their own set of problems by themselves, not only XDA-II related.
And BT specs for protocol 1.2 is already out there....
:?
Man!!!! I do not know what is up now! :x :? :shock: :evil: :twisted:
On my BT800, I have tried setting it to No Auto Answer, un paring, re pairing with Selecting Yes to Serial, AND YES to both Handsfree/Headset prompts and I can not get it to mess up when another call comes in.
I have tried Selecting Cancel to Serial, Yes to the first Handsfree/Headset prompt and No to the second.. Still no problems.
I have tried only selecting the second Handsfree/Headset prompt and still no problem..
Now, remember, the BT800 sucks! The caller ID is not working BUT that is a Jabra BT800 issue.. It just sucks! Same problem with no caller ID on my wife's MPX300.
The only thing that I can see as my problem was I used to have BT Tools installed and I never could get it uninstalled all the way until I renamed the bthserial.dll. So, I am assuming that BT Tools also had it's own DLL for Headset too???!! Thus that was my problem? I guess.
So, my "fix" is wrong.. I take it back. It makes no difference!
I am sorry.

Could you explain more please?
On my xLive it only has one BT Handsfree/Headset prompt but on the xLive, it lets you select the pairing mode... Hands Free or Headset.
It ALSO has excellent caller ID display! When I may have had a Partial BT Tools installed, I only got caller ID. Now, I get the name too if it is in my contacts list!
I also found out how to use the xLive without all the problems!!!
It took me about 2 hours to do this..
BT headsets...
It looks like the other devices with caller ID on them, HBH-660 and the HBH-220 do not work great and I know for SURE the Jabra BT800 is crap.. (even in Headset Mode it takes up to 9 seconds to answer a call.. In Hands Free mode, it is only 2 seconds but the caller ID does not work)
So, the ONLY solution for those who want caller ID on a handy little device is, the xLive.
I recommend the xLive now. I found that the xLive will screw up if you press certain buttons or for other reasons explained below and if you do not press them or do the other things, it works fine.
I am not sure if People can get A2DP to work on the XDAII, I have seen most say they can't, SO, the next best thing is the xLive! It also supports caller ID and will list the Callers Name if it is in your contact list AND you can DIAL phone numbers with it, all while your XDAII is 30 feet away. You can dial numbers with it through pressing the BT button, selecting "Dial" and using the little joystick to select the numbers and then press the BT button again to dial!
xLive also supports MP3 streaming though a program the give you and a your typical BT device hooked up to your PC. I have one that only cost $39 and it works for about 150 feet. You can get past it's memory limit this way.
How to use the xLive with an XDAII with 2.20 translated ROM.
1. Pair it using “Hands Free” mode, selecting “Pairing Clean”, once, (you do not have to repair again)
2. When you FIRST turn the xLive ON or if you are unable to make call through it or get calls through it, press the Bottom Right Button for 2 seconds to turn it off. Then Turn it back on with the same button. Then Press the BT button on the front left, next to the screen, wait 4 seconds, press it again and wait 6 or 7 seconds until the little BT icon appears then press the Top Left button (A-B and Record, AKA cancel)
3. Never hang up a phone call using BT button! ONLY USE THE “END CALL” function of your phone or wait until the other person has hanged up. If you press it, redo step 2! (the BT button is the one on the left of the screen)
Problems that will cause you to have to turn it Off and then back ON again,,, IE. Repeat step 2.
You can ONLY reject ONE phone call.. After you do, go redo step 2
If you Miss a call, go redo step 2!
If you reboot the XDAII or the two get out of range of each other, you only need to press the BT button and then press the Cancel button after the BT icon appears again.

As for you first question: It does a difference to me. Some devices use different functions if they are paired ONLY as headsets or as HANDSFREE. The mess about "what you do in the two step pairing" is probably part of the problem. I've found that the first pairing is best for headsets (HBH 35, HBH 600) and the dual pairing is needed for carkits (at least for my BMW carkit).
Second question: BT specs 1.2 means that there are more profiles and functions that now can be implemented in more devices: SO MORE TROUBLES, and more chances for something to go wrong. There is a lot on information about BT specs out there, you can read about, and wonder what will happen with a device that implements them all.... the HTC/MS way!
And finally, some comments about the "erratic" behaviour of caller ID on your headsets: I've found some remarks noting that depending if your contact info for a certain number is stored in the phone memory OR IN THE SIM CARD, it might change how the info is passed onto your BT headset! So you can see the name, the number or even nothing at all for a few seconds.

Sorry, I have been away from this forum for a while and have decided to come back and try and face my BT issues again.
I am running
ROM 2.06.00WWE
Radio 1.18.00
ExtROM Sin.Merged.v1.0
on an XDA11 with a Blue Ant hands free.
Before upgrading the BT was crap.....long delays in answering, no redialling facility worked and the sound quality was awful.
Since upgrade I really couldnt tell you about the other issues but sound quality appears to be worse. My incoming is fine but out going, the hands free mike is not working and the phone is still receiving on its built in mike. I have tried pairing as "Handsfree" and "headset" with no difference.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mark
OK,
sat in the car had a beer and tried again. Selecting "handsfree" when prompted and no and no to headset enables the in car mike and allows outgoing calling. But does not allow incoming calls pickup.
Every other config of headset and handsfree combo selections removes the in car mike from working.
Go Figure?
Cheers

Hi! As said before, you'll be better off with 2.20.
2.0x versions work mostly OK as far as functions, but then you have the dual mic/speaker problems....
Read the forum, there is NO perfect BT solution, in fact, there is not a official version claiming to support HandsFree profile...
Yep,
I hear you, I know the o2 is not handsfree compliant only headset.
The local gurus at Strahfields are trying to sell me the latest Nokia bluetooth hands free.
I quote,
"Its compatible with everything and my mate has got an o2 and it works fantatsically" unquote.
But they where not prepared to give me a demo.
Cheers
Sorry if I am being stupid, I currently use the Diamond 1.2 ROM and have a BT800, so I know all of the problems in trying to get the mic working etc.
Is there an English ROM with 2.20 that's easy to install?
There are so many references and links to various CAB files on here, but as I use my XDA2 for business, as well as pleasure, I don't have time to experiment I would like to find an installer, do that, and then add my own apps, and be up and running within an hour.
I bought the BT800 for the call quality, not the extra features, but now I have a headset that can do so much more, I would like to make use of all the features, but not at the expense of the PDA's stability, although saying that, Diamond 1.2 gives me the hang on reset issues, and random slow down issues too, so it may be better to change to something else anyway.

[Hacker needed !! ] Eten Skype fix speaker file

Hi: This flie is from Eten x500.
After install the .cab file, go to setting>sound , and then there is third tab available. check the box to enable the sound redirect to earphone.
However, this does not work with the HTC phones.
Can anyone hack this file to make it work on HTC??
Thanks
I'm also looking for program with same functionality (changing front/back speaker sound routing), I know it's not simple task and I even wrote pm to Superdave about it because he wrote sound routing dll for widcomm drivers and probably knows most about sound routing in hermes. Unfortunatelly I didn't get any answer, probably he don't have time to make such feature.
Can anyone hack these files?
Did anyone ever get anywhere with this? I Would love to have Skype on the earphone.
I read somewhere here that this was not possible. The front ear speaker is hardware didicated to the cellular service (or something like that). If it where possible or someone had done it I'm sure it would be a sticky.
I'd just be happy if I could get Skype to work on with my bluetooth.
Maybe some guy can have a look at the SkypeSettings.exe and SkypeSettings.dll files from Eten.
From what I saw, it only deals with the WAV1: device. No more devices are listed. Probably it captures the audio from it and than sends it to front speaker.
It does not run on my PDA. The settings tab also appears grayed out, so the app know it is not an Eten.
Unfortunately I could not debug the file on my device, given that IDA does not work on WM6, but probably both files have a check for Eten device, and if it is of a different brand the apps terminate.
Dumb question, but when you use the sip client on a Hermes, what speaker does the call come out of?

I have found out that the there is a program that routes the Skype audio output to bluetooth: "BT Audio" has been working for me for the past couple of years now since I had the Hermes. Also has worked with the last couple of BT's that I have used and its free. In my Settings>Remove Programs it shows up as: "TP.com BT Audio" I hope this helps.
And yeah it would be great to have Skype transmit via earphone...

Customizable AVRCP Agent

Hello,
here is my new version of the avrcp-agent. It is now customizable, so you can control every application from wich you know the messages to be send as WM_COMMAND.
On startup you do not see anything from the app! When you start it a second time, you see an menu at the bottom (OK and SETTINGS) where you can configure various things like the path to the application you want to control and timings for double and triple clicks. Don´t click the OK button, because the app will exit after that! Just leave it run in background. The menu disappears after clicking somewhere else.
Here are the sample Codes for the CorePlayer:
WindowName: CorePlayer
play/pause 1102
PREV 1100
NEXT 1101
OpenFile Dialog 1105
Switch Display 1037
For the GSPlayer:
WindowName: GSPlayer
play/pause 40027
PREV 40037
NEXT 40038
FastFF 40075
FastBack 40074
OpenFile Dialog 40018
Switch Display 100
You can customize the Agent for the functions of the headset by setting the message values to the buttons you want to.
I hope you will enjoy.
Greets,
Thomas
21.09.07 - BUG!
There is a bug in the program. When you reset the device, it "forgets" the settings. I will correct this at monday!
24.09.07 - FIXED! V1.11
I have updated the file to the new version.
-the settings will "survive" a reboot now.
-the problem with the activation of the application to control is fixed
-if you want to start any other program with an AVRCP command, you can now specify a path and the .exe file in the message field!!
Remarks:
-if you change settings, you must restart the agent.
-in the "path" field of the settings you must put the COMPLETE path, including the .exe file to start!
-COREPLAYER: if you want to use the agent with the CorePlayer, you must deactivate the "WMP UI plugin support" under settings/advanced!!!

Nice to see a new version. I tried it out and had one problem. WHen Gsplayer isn't running, pressing the play button on the headset doesn't seem to start the application. If I start it normally, the buttons on the headset do what they are supposed to.

works for me now XD
i cant really read what i input to it, but since i made no typos, i was able to configure it. (the font is TOO small).
there no chance for this app or any other to force sound of incomming calls/sms to go through the phone speacker (i dont care if its player through the headset or not ,but not having sound on the speaker makes it imposible to notice a call while driving
some time in the future, ill but a car stereo with BT, and i wont miss calls since i will hear the ringtone through it, but for now, its a problem

some time in the future, ill but a car stereo with BT, and i wont miss calls since i will hear the ringtone through it, but for now, its a problem

Perhaps you could use Voice Command to speak the number or contact of the incoming call.
In the next Version i will use a bigger font..
GREAT!
Thank you mate.

does this work on WM5?
Hi,
I'm trying to launch AVRCP agent on my hx4700 with WM6 (Kozhura edition) and sony DR-BT50 headphones but without no luck :-(
Build-in WMP10 work, Mort Player work also bu GSPlayer with any available version of AVRCP Agent does not work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
GREAT APP!!!!
Using is with GSPlayer - which is also great. and my new gear4 bluphones.
One little issue, I don't think I got the codes right to start, so I changed them, and I still couldn't get PREV to work (is the code definitely 40037?), so I put some different codes in to try & understand it. Now it's not accepting my changes - I'm stuck with the wrong settings!! I've even odne a soft reset!! where are the settings stored? in the reg I guess. HELP!!!
Also - can yo possibly make it work for QVGA - It's really hard to read!!!!
Thanks so much for this app,
James
Hi,
May or may not be a bug report - on my HTC, with gear4 Bluphones, double clicking 'back' does the same as as double clicking 'Play'. Single clicks work fine. So if the double click is done in software (I think it must be?) I think this must be a (very minor) bug...
Altogether though - FANTASTIC!!

Yes, you can Launch PocketMusic by entering the path to PocketMusic in the message field for "play single click". But i don´t know the Codes to control pocketMusic

Audio Manager
Hi. Does anyone knows the HTC Audio Manager AVRCP codes?

Problem with Sony DR-BT50 headset
Hi,
as I mentioned in post #12 I have DR-BT50 headset which doesn't work with AVRCP Agent - probably my headset send different control codes than AVRCP Agent expect so there is no possibility to make right mapping between codes received from headset and WM_COMMAND codes sending to application.
It would be great if new version of AVRCP Agent could:
1. show control codes received from headset (for example in debug mode)
2. map any received control code to any sending WM_COMMAND code
Is it possible to make such AVRCP Agent version?
Thanks for help,
Irek

HS U350 - Looks very good but why so hard to get ?

Hi,
I wanted to have an audio cable for HD which has an integrated mic with call button and a 3.5mm audio jack. I landed on this HTC original product HS U350 while googling around.
However in the US it looks like only expansys shows the listing and that too with an expected date of March 26. Does anyone have this audio cable. Care to share your experiences ?
Also let meknow where can I find it sooner if someone has the info.
Here's the only place where I could find it.

I'm looking for this item too.... seems xpansy swedish page has for shippment a few days earlier.
Buy this instead:

Costs next to nothing and works exactly the same without the HTC branding. The button still answers calls or dials - just like the original.
I got one the other day and am very happy with it... as I can use my own headphones and still use the button!
You can also change what you want the button to do by changing the redial.exe file in the Windows directory. I changed it so that a double tap runs voice command - so I can control everything by voice

Wow.. thanks for the reply. I see some other options as well which also has a volume control. So in general are the iphone 3.5mm jack accessories compatible with Touch 3.5mm jack ?
Also can u explain the quoted line. What do u exactly mean by changing the redial.exe ? Do u rename the application u want to work with the button as redial.exe in windows

Exactly!!
I think redial.exe is the default command thats called when you double press the button on your wired headset. I renamed whatever the msvc .exe file was called to redial.exe and now when I double press the button I get msvc.
I've tried a few specific iPhone wired headsets and they all seem to work - making me think that their all the same. I like my V-Moda set - but I wanted to be able to use my cheap over ear Sony ones for snowboarding so that they don't fall off - hence my purchase of the £2.30 adapter above!
btw, I ordered earlier HTC HS U110 3.5mm Audio Adapter Cable Stereo Headset, and it wasnt compactible with my HD, so I don't think all headsets are supported with this device. Placed an order for U350 headset on 17 Mar, still waiting

Anyone got their HS U350 yet?

Hey is anyone aware of being able to do the double click to skip forward a track? Could someone give me idiot instructions on how to do this?

[Q] Alter/Disable the HTC Volume Control

I've done some searching (yes, really) and I've got a question that I can't locate an answer for, if one exists.
I'd like to be able to use the volume buttons on my HD2 to actually do just that: control the volume, but I'd like to be able to do it without that damned volume control app taking complete control of whatever is happening at the time. Primarily I do a lot of audio and video stuff on my HD2, and I have to admit I'm just sick and tired of seeing that happen.
I've used PocketPCs for years (Axims, iPAQs, etc) and I have always been able to re-assign any hardware buttons using whatever app I want (I use TCPMP for video playback, Nitrogen for audio) and it seems like the HD2 just won't do it.
I'm using the stock whatever on this device, just got it a day ago. Specs say OS version is 5.2.21892, Manila version is 2.5.20121412.2, ROM version 2.13.531.1 with a date of 4/28/10 on it. I know I can muck around with all sorts of various ROMs once I learn more about this particular device, HSPL and Android and all that fun stuff but, can anyone tell me if it's possible to control the volume in an app like TCPMP or Nitrogen with the display off without having the damned thing kick the app out to show that onscreen volume control?
And what's with the huge jumps in volume with a single press of the buttons, that seems a bit odd. If I can't get this device to do what I want then I'm going to dump it and just go back to my trusty Axim X51v that has never let me down. I don't want to do that but this is just irritating beyond belief. One press of that volume and whatever I'm playing, be it music or video, gets kicked out which is damned odd. I can't even map the volume buttons with those apps for some reason, they won't take over the mapping.
Or am I just doing something wrong someplace...
look here to remove htc volume control and get the classic wm volume control
Yah, I had tried that solution and it was a no go. The volume control popup still happens (the old WM one) and now it adds that damned "BEEP" as well. Crap. It's hard to believe that a nearly 7 year old Axim X51v is superior in that respect over such a device as this HD2, I had such high hopes but I'm starting to think maybe dumping this thing is a better idea. Can't even get proper video acceleration with a Snapdragon platform device and my X51v can do hardware decoding of most any video I have without breaking a sweat. I watch pretty much every Xvid video encoding that I've got at 208 MHz for way longer battery life and the Intel 2200 GPU handles it without a single issue - this HD2 chokes if I try to do that with the same clips, go figure.
I thought technology was supposed to get better as time went by.
Bleh, dammit. A volume control should do that and only that: adjust the volume without doing anything else, including interrupting whatever application happens to be running, especially multimedia apps. Pretty irritating that it continues to stop playback so much, and even using HTC's media player of sorts the actual volume jumps are pretty excessive, like 20% per press. Where the hell did they come up with that huge gap from?
Oh well... just relisted it on craigslist for a quick sale.
Thanks for the help.
i woukd like to change the number of "steps" of the volume control. having only 5 levels totally sucks when listenig to music -_- anyone who knows how to do this? maybe it's possible to replace that volume control with the one of the music tab?
you could use a button remapper to run a different volume app, either of the following should work:
I have one called setVolume, written by von Daniel Schumann, I found it here somewhere. It is a command line .exe with has no visual or audio nitification, and 10% increments.
The other option is use mortscript to change the volume.

Thanks for the info but the HD2 sold quick as expected. I'll most likely replace it if I get another crack at one for a decent price but it's unlikely - that one only cost me $100 by someone that was pretty desperate for some quick cash so, I made $75 off the deal by reselling it.
Just before I sold it I started finding out ways to fix a lot of the issues I was having as well as a killer simple 1-2-3 step process of using HandBrake to make nearly flawless DVD or whatever transfers to videos for the HD2 also. Almost to the minute I was about to sell it I kept telling myself I should keep it but, with the first of the month now here I needed the cash to get caught up on some bills.
But I'll most likely get another one at some point. The HD7 just doesn't appeal to me for a variety of reasons. We'll see what happens.
