Just got on a plane and found out that the WM 6.1 update seems to have killed my HTC remote control for controlling Audio Manager or Windows Media.
It's one of these: http://www.negrielectronics.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=1067.
Anyone else run into this? Theres posts on installing the audio driver for other phones, but I don't find one for the Kaiser floating around out there.
There is an updated remote control driver for WM6.1. It can be donwloaded from HTC e-club.
Ah. For anyone that's also looking, it's not on the HTC US site. You have to hit the HTC Europe page and then it will show up.
Interesting. I grabbed the driver and ran the install and the app tells me I have the latest version installed. Won't overwrite or let me reinstall.
Anyone else having this issue? The control still isn't working and I can't tell what the cab files are looking to overwrite to force the install through.
Same issue after new HTC rom update
Any solution ?

Instal the WM 6.1 compatible driver from HTCs website off the bat or if the old version is installed first, hard reset and then install just the latest driver. Why anyone would want the current HTC official WM 6.1 'upgrade' (at least a WWE version) is an important question.
hi Flying Kiwi, I guess the main reason of the upgrade is bug fixing which I guess now is solving some adding others
I'm a new HTC user more used to symbian devices before.
The nokia updates are always good, so I thought it was the same for HTC.
I guess I was wrong.
I followed many times the installation procedure, but I always get the same result :
- Drivers already existing on the PC
- GetDeviceInfo.exe error on the Touch pro.
I guess the GetDeviceInfo error is the source of the pb. Maybe a pb with the ROM itself.
Thanks

Sorry I don't have one of these remote devices to test with - I just assumed (and we know what that results in) that from gauntman's post there was a WM 6.1 compatible driver but all I've been able to find is a very elderly cab (after renaming the file to have a zip extension) - gauntman please point us to a new version that does work if you know of it.
IF you have a stock ROM/Radio/SPL and the remote isn't working and installing the driver doesn't fix it or results in an error installation then my suggestion is to try the headphones that come with the remote and ensure they're fully plugged in. If that still doesn't work then it's time to contact HTC!
I tried this updated version found Here,
But the problem described is the one described.
Is there anyway to uninstall a driver without rebuilding the ROM ?
Sorry for the newbie question, but just an idea.
Maybe I should go for a stable cooked ROM and install the drivers on it.
But if not working i will cry lol

That's the one I was referring to, maybe gauntman knows of something newer.... In the meantime have you tried what I suggested ie restoring it to a stock HTC state and testing again with the headphones that came with the remote fully plugged in? If that doesn't work then it's fair and square a HTC issue to resolve.
Thanks I really appreciate your feedback.
Yes I actually did a hard reset.
The stock headphone is working fine.
So far the RC E100 has no sound problem, just the button issues.
I guess not a mini usb issue, but really a driver pb.
I contacted HTC about the last ROM and their accessory, let's see if the reputation of their technical support is as good as their product
Thanks

Hi All,
First of all I hope I'm at the right place as this is my first post and I'm new to PDA's worlds. I just bought a HTC Kaiser and tried to install the spb GRPS monitor which was included on the CD. The installation said:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
I had 1.82.707.0 WWE ROM and yesterday I upgraded it to 3.28.405.0 WWE. Both the original and the updated ROM cause the same error when I try to install this program. I thought the PDA come from the manufacturer with the original ROM and the shops doing maximum a language install to the current country. It seems they modified something on the ROM? Can I install somehow this legal software (without cracking it and which will not be a trial version software)?
thanks
Seems quite weird. Try going to SPB's site and downloading the latest version from there, and use the registration number you received to register the software.
There is also a program called BatteryStatus, which is freeware (use google to search you'll find it right away), which does sort of the same thing.
I use to use SPB GRPS Monitor, and never ran into this issue.
Where did you get the CD from that has the software anyway? I am pretty sure HTC wouldn't include a 3rd party software on a CD if you got the phone from them, or if it was new in box. The version you have might be really old and you may need to purchase the latest version anway.
Hope that helps.
go to spb software house website and download the update exe/cab file
try it and let us know if it works or no?

apologies i did not read zakhir suggestion we both propose same solution

I got an original new HTC box which included the CD (it seems original HTC as it contains HTC logo copyrights etc... and I think the box original as I got an original HTC varranty card with the device). May be it's an old version and may but I think it will not be a trial SW. I hope as it is a good program But may be not. I can't remember if there is any S/N for the SW and I'm at work atm. I'll check it later.
jahrami:
Thank you for the advice! Actually (in a fast search) I couldn't be fount update for GPRS monitor (as I said I'm at work atm so it was a really fast search). I'll search later again when I will be home. Anyway if I remember correctly somewhere on spb's webpage I read something about upgrade a product (not the GPRS monitor) and the upgrader should it purchase again. (?) Not sure... I'll chack this option later so I just wanted to do some reaction for your post
Thank again the advices!
best regards!
Dear all Kaiser anchestor,
I have a problem with my Kaiser. I really hope that all of you can help me. Ok? Please....
This is the problem :
At the begining, My HTC Kaiser run so slowly, sometimes freezing (Condition WM 6.1 with it's SPL 1.56)
After I read the same problem in jockyw2001 thread, then I tried to flash My device SPL to 3.28 (with the step in front of that thread and the SPL from that thread too)
Flashing the SPL to 3.28 was successfully and my device run fast now
BUT!!! I can't Enabled my WiFi!
Next, I tried to Re-Flash my SPL to 1.56 again, and it's done successfully. But, the WiFi still can't be enable.
Next step, I tried to downgrade the ROM to WM 6, and WHAT!
I still can't Enable my WiFi!
Now, I'd upgrade to WM6.1 again (official ROM from HTC website). But, the WiFi still can't be enable.
The condition when I enable the WiFi is loading then turn off by itself. What's the problem?
I really need all of your help for this.
This is my Device Information:
ROM Version :3.29.707.0 WWE
ROM Date : 05\07\08
Radio Version :1.65.16.25
Protocol Version : 25.83.40.02H
After upgrade to WM6.1, My Bootloader now is:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
I'm stress already. Hope all you may spare some of your time for help me to solve the problem. Thanks before. For more detail, just watch the video that I record when tried to enable the wifi.

Since you're interested in running the official HTC WM 6.1 version on your TyTN II then why not simply run the HTC Upgrade program which will reinstall everything required (SPL, Radio and ROM) in one easy go rather than have to upgrade this and that, bit by bit? If you have an official TyTN II you can get it from HTCs e-Club/Support or you can also download it from the XDA Kaiser Wiki ROM page. Note that my SPL is 3.28.0000 and thats all through the official upgrade path so maybe your SPL has something to do with it? See if the official upgrade installs on your device otherwise you'll have to revert to the correct SPL before trying again. Note that the newest WWE ROM upgrade now also comes with a (slightly) better radio as in my sig. Remember to take your sim and memory cards out before attempting the flash.
***Edit*** Just realised you're running the SEA rather than WWE HTC ROM I'm using so yes 3.29 looks to be the right SPL for your ROM, the rest still applies though.
Hmm...
Sorry Mr Flying Kiwi, I think you didn't read the message completely. I've already re-flash from OFFICIAL ROM WM6.1 from HTC e-Club. But, the same problem. It's not fix yet. I've reflash over than 5 times, downgrade to WM6 over than 2 times. an the result is the same. My WiFi Cannot be enable. I hope you can play the video that i record from the links up there (440kb only), so you will know my problem.

I read it alright but as you've not done it *using the officially supplied HTC upgrade package (not just the ROM file within it from HTC e-Club)* I reccomend you give that a try. No special hard spl version is reqd and as long as you have an official ROM to start with and you're upgrading or reinstalling the same ROM version, it's simply a case of running one file and following the instructions. Once you've got the reflash to run that way and completed the process, simply hard reset and then test your Wifi before installing anything further.

Perhaps the capturing program over Activesync may be interfering with things (but I did view your wmv). What I am sure of is that if you have the correct ROM matched to your device and correctly installed with the right spl and radio, Wifi should work fine. Running the official upgrade is the easiest way to get this but if there is something non-official about your current setup, the upgrade program may refuse to run. Let us know if that happens. It's clear that you didn't do this in the beginning because you ended up with the wrong spl version for your rom so it's time to do it the official 'HTC Customer' way.
Hahaha.... thanks for your information. I'd tried yesterday. And still no response. ugh.... Btw, I've read from another thread (Athena). They said that someone ever got a problem like this. The cause is the WiFi MAC Address is missing/erased? Is it possible? I thought that MAC Address is a serial number of WiFi such as an IP, where saved in WiFi chip/device and cannot be erase. If do so, how to set an MAC address to the WiFi module? Do you have an idea? I'd tried to have a silly search about that address in Registry, but I cannot find any key that sounds about MAC Address. (Mac Gyver maybe?)

I was offering serious advice not pulling your leg. Now, when you say 'still no response yet' - precisely what do you mean (exactly what did you try and what happened)? I've flashed my Kaisers ROM a couple of times now using HTC official ROM upgrading packages and it's gone perfectly fine. As far as the MAC address goes, I know there are ways of changing it (because there is an extremely small possibility that you may end up with two identical MAC adresses on the same network and this will cause problems) but this won't be the culprit in your case. I think (again) the first thing to do is to use the official package (and only that - no additional tools/utilities are reqd) to get everything in order and let us know how that goes and what versions of everything you end up with.
This is the information that appears in my device now after re-upgrade the official ROM from HTC e-Club:
File name : RUU_Kaiser_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
ROM version : 3.29.707.0 WWE
ROM date : 05/07/08
Radio version : 1.65.16.25
Protocol version : 25.83.40.02H
Btw, may i ask a question? I found something strange about a MAC address. Yesterday I'm not intention open the "Wireless LAN" from Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN
In Advance tab, there are Status, MAC, and IP. My Question is is the MAC address serial appears even you didn't enable a WiFi? In my device it's empty.
Btw, bro... I've been search a problem like this in this website. I've found the same problem in Athena thread. They said that the MAC address is missing, but some one make a fix but only for Athena.
this their URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=Athena+WiFi+Problem&page=5

That looks right to me but if you haven't yet ran the upgrade file above to flash to ROM you need to do it the official way and try that. If Wifi is still behaving as in your video do a hard reset and try again (before loading any additional software).

In mine it's empty too but if you go back in after enabling Wifi, theres a MAC address in there. I really don't think your problem has anything to do with the MAC address but if you've tried all of the above and still can't get it working, as you appear to have an official setup, it's time to contact Tech support and get them to go through some checks over the phone with you. Maybe someone else has thoughts on this......
Hahaha... thanks. Btw, I have another problems.
I bought this device from other country (Singapore). My friends said, the Singapore HTC can view the device history. They can see if the device already being flash how many times and anything unofficial program such as SPL or radio, then the warranty wil be void. Because, my friends already have such a problem also with his device Dopod U1000 (Even he revert to his original SPL or radio).
I think i should throw this device or sell it out and buy the new one. Hiks...

Doesn't it make sense to at least try what's been suggested first? What have you to loose? The hardware company have no need to know what 'ROM Action' has occurred in the past and who knows what any people you've leant your TyTN II to may have done with it..... They only need to know how it is now and whether it's currently official (ie flashed using the HTC upgrader).

The same problem
Im having the same problem... my wi-fi do not turns on! I have flashed this a lot of times, and sometimes works, sometimes dont.
Does anyone have any ideia about this? im stressed becouse i have the same problem... could anyone tellme a good radio in order to try to solve this issue? thanks
Wi-Fi issues
This has worked for me, dont know if its the same case with you or not.
My device was never able to connect to my Wifi n/w at home. If I went to start -> setting -> connections -> Wifi, it would show my home n/w as available, when I tried to connect to it, the status changed from Available to "connecting" then became available again.
In my home n/w I had access type authentication as WEP keys + Mac address filtering. My device was added to the MAC address list so that was not a problem. The issue was access point authentication which was set to WEP keys type authentication on my router. Once I changed from WEP keys to WPA-PSK (data encryption type TKIP) my WM was able to connect to the router.
I have HTC tytn II and its wifi is not searching any other wifi devices or router even in very close range , but wifi is turning on and the green light is also blinking
So, is there a hardware problem?
I did 3.29 hard spl , hard reset ,hard spl 3.34 , but the result is same.
and in network adapters IEEE 802.1b/g goes down and down in the list of network adapters , please HELP.! and sorry for my bad english

Hi guys,
first of all, thank you for this awesome forum. I've been a frequent visitor in this forum and I've already found a lot of useful tips but now I need your help because I don't know what to do anymore.
First of all a brief explanation: I'm using a Kaiser (German Vodafone branding). My old device has been replaced by Vodafone due to a hardware defect. Vodafone gave me completely new device with the following data:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof
CE OS 5.2.19122 (Build 19122.1.0.3)
ROM-Version: 3.28.162.2 GER (this is the latest version)
I used exactly the same version on my old device and the program mentioned above Go Suite v. 0.91 does not work with my new Kaiser anymore, however it worked great with my old device. Go Suite requires two further programmes in order to run:
Go Suite v.0.91 (GoSuite.ARMV4.cab - can be downloaded here
netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab
PocketGnuGo.ARMV4.cab (also downloadable on the same website)
I followed the installation manual step by step but it still doesn't work. I've tried everything possible to get the software started. However, this was the first program I installed on my Kaiser (well, I tried).
If you need further information feel free to ask me. Neither Go Suite nor Windows show any error reports, only the launching symbol shows up for a couple of seconds after clicking on the icon.
I'm sorry that I can't give you more detailled information about the error. Is there any tool or a possibility to get to read the Windows error report? If you know one, just let me know where to get it and I'll deliver further details.
I hope you can help me - I'm sort of desperate since I really need this programme and I don't know what to do.
Thank you!

tytn 2 ultimateXv9. your apps working.
Hi all,
Was just wanting some input on how I can get this touchscreen working in Win7.
I guess it must be a problem with the version of Windows 7 I downloaded, you can see it here:
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5043679/Windows_7_Ultimate_AIO_Activated
It's the most popular distribution on TPB so I thought it would be pretty decent..
Any ideas how I can get the touchscreen working without downloading a new windows distribution? I live in a 3rd world country where it's a nightmare to download large files!
I've tried multiple things, clean install, upgrade, installing the EC drivers/touchscreen drivers/chipset drivers in different orders, no luck!
A couple of interesting notes:
- The VGA driver install failes "Could not copy file" on the 2nd file
- When installing the touchscreen drivers, 3 DOS boxes come up with various error messages (one of them looks like TSASS.EXE, could not be found).
I guess I should try this one:
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5111645/Microsoft.Windows.7.ULTIMATE.x86.OEM.DVD-BIE
Any input greatly appreciated!
Alex
Well, if you had a legal Windows version, you could try to install all the drivers offered by HTC on their main website, take carre to install them in the correct order.
Then, it is very advisable to install your Windows 7 whilst connected to the internet,
many drivers like video, sd cardbus, your Ethernet USB hub, Builtin camera.... have driver updates straight from Windows Update.
Although it's nice to be honest, some things are rather kept private.
Considering that you only have 2 posts, here's some tips :
1 - always use search function - drill down to the forum you wan to search, then enter something like Touchscreen, Windows 7
2 - Never claim you are doing illegal stuff, even if you aren't doing illegal stuff.
3 - Tell people what you have tried to do to solve your problem, ike :
I opened up my device manager and saw a lot of yellow exlamation marks.
It will help us asses your skills and adapt our answers....
Hey Lucid,
Thanks for your answer...
In response, I must have spent around 3 hours going through all the posts relating to W7 on the Shift.
In conclusion I found a few things:
- There were multiple recommended methods to install the divers, mostly revolving around the order in which to install them. In other words there was no best practice
- A couple of people had similar problems but there didn't seem to be any conclusive result, other than the one guy who ended up going back to Vista
- As for what I've tried:
--- Installing via clean install
--- Installing via upgrade
--- Installing EC drivers first, then touchscreen drivers, & vice versa, on both the upgraded & clean W7 installs
--- Installing chipset drivers first then after on both installs.
No joy!
Is the touchscreen confirmed to work on all builds of W7 or are there some sneeky ones out there that don't work?
What is the latest & greatest version that is confirmed to work?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
If you look at my posts you will see that there is hope for Win7 on shift. I've installed the official version and the touch screen works. The only problem is with Aero on the higher resolution. I did follow the driver installation sequence mentioned elsewhere with compatibility with Vista don't forget, otherwise it will either not install at all or give error messages. Do not cut corners. Be good and follow the instructions. Obey! Now!
Hello my dear Wovens,
In fact, I'm quite sure I read most of your posts at least once, including the ones you made in response to the other guy with touchscreen problems.
I also followed your instructions as best I could, no luck.
Right now I have basically updated Windows Vista completely from Windows Update (last time I didn't do a Windows Update, except for service pack 1), so should I try reinstalling W7? Exactly which version did you use?
Thanks for the help, I thought I was done with the curse of Vista until I got this SHIFT... Dying to get W7 on there!
Bye for now,
Alex
Hi aaazzi,
To answer your question about which version I have in my shift, I first had W7 RC of June/2009 in the shift as an upgrade from Vista and it worked well but now I have W7 Professional (official) but I could not go from the RC to the Pro as an upgrade, I had to do a fresh install because Win would not allow to go from one to the other, maybe because the RC I had was higher than the Pro.
I have tried exactly the same as aaazzi and am getting the same errors. I can get the vga drivers to install by manually installing from device manager, which means I get the correct version. But the EC drivers don't seem to install properly, they certainly don't look the same as the readme included in the folder.
I've made sure that they are installed with compatibility mode (I've now tried all vista versions and XP) no joy. Everything else works, except the touchscreen which is a bit of a show stopper for me even though the device works perfectly on 7 in every other respect.
Don't use the automatic VGA driver (newer) that is found by Win7. Go to device manager and force install the one listed in the HTC website. Just do it! Then install the EC drivers and after that THE TOUCH driver!
yep done that, I'm currently using the 7.14.10.1461 drivers, I installed the EC drivers which appear as HTC Embedded Controller and the touchscreen drivers which unpacks into a temp folder and says it's installed from there. (I have also tried going into the temp folder it extracted to and setting the compatibility and admin settings to the correct values)
No matter what I do I can't get the drivers to appear in device manager, I don't know if this is because the EC driver I get has a different name to the one specified in the included readme.
In the readme it's saying to look for HTC Clio EC Controller V0.0.1.1
I get HTC Embedded Controller
I assumed that the readme is from an earlier version of the drivers especially as it's using an RC version of Vista but that could be it, what is the driver called on your version?
I've got an HTC Embedded Controller 1.0.1.10 of 13/03/2008.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I think I'll wait for the release version on 7. Might try to install Linux in the meantime, at least I can control what it's doing a bit better.

Hey Lucid,
Thanks for your answer...
In response, I must have spent around 3 hours going through all the posts relating to W7 on the Shift.
In conclusion I found a few things:
- There were multiple recommended methods to install the divers, mostly revolving around the order in which to install them. In other words there was no best practice
- A couple of people had similar problems but there didn't seem to be any conclusive result, other than the one guy who ended up going back to Vista
- As for what I've tried:
--- Installing via clean install
--- Installing via upgrade
--- Installing EC drivers first, then touchscreen drivers, & vice versa, on both the upgraded & clean W7 installs
--- Installing chipset drivers first then after on both installs.
No joy!
Is the touchscreen confirmed to work on all builds of W7 or are there some sneeky ones out there that don't work?
What is the latest & greatest version that is confirmed to work?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Aaazi,
Did you ever solve your issue? I am getting similar symptoms.
All... sorry for the bump, but i am going crazy here...
Hey Guys,
today I plugged in my Topaz in my computer as I wanted to synchronize all the stuff like e-mail and calender via the Windows Mobile Device Center and something very strange happened. My PC couldn't connect vie Active Sync and first I didn't know why. After restarting the device and the computer, nothing changed. After several restarts I got it. My computer thinks I got a HTC Legend!
The thing is: I use Android via HaRET and overall it works fine. Battery is very bad, but with OC it runs very smooth. I use all the updates from XDAnroid Thread, but with an system.ext2 which contains the Sense UI.
I don't know whether this is possible, but the use of android changed my Topaz into a Legend. I still cannot synch the device, also tried HTC Synch (just for fun), but that didn't go either.
Does anyone of you have the same problem? I read on a thread which schould collect harmful effects on your Windows Mobile device after using buggy Android. I thought nothing should go wrong if you launch it from sd-memory. But actually I got more Android than I wanted...
download pdanet it is for tethering, but it will install the drivers for your phone while your in android.
@ wavesshock
Go to boot-loader,plug the usb-cord into pc.Systemmanager will found an new device.
After that can you can sync again with mobile-device-center.

Thanks. But that didn't work, too. Even after several soft- and hard-resets my computer does not install the right driver... I also tried another computer - it still tries to download HTC Legend driver. Somehow a ROM Update does not work since that moment. I use stoch HTC 2.53.407 GER Rom, but I'm not able to run the update utility in one single instance. it needs several times to run (somehow)... Is there another way of getting everything back again? I mean: I like Android, but if it bricks my device... Why is my topaz behaving like that?
(ps. I got a topa100 (i think) it's o2-branded but i rooted it and installed the stock htc rom. updating hard-spl does not work, too. lol - there are so many thing not working anymore.)
The problem is solved! Got a new device trough my warranty! Now there're no problems neither with Windows Mobile, nor Android!

First: Yes - got a topaz again. It's not my main device, but I was glad to get a new one
Second: Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768202
This is from LENINred and run's quite smooth. It's Eclaire, but nevertheless it looks awesome with all that HTC Sense stuff.
