Helmi v 1.4 beta and Ringtones problem

Hi all,
I've searched all over the threads and can't find an answer to this problem:
I can't select a ring tone other than the default one and media player doesn't start. If i choose a different ring tone it says it's corrupted...
This happened after a few days being turned off...
I have both patches applied and no 3rd party app installed... The ringtones are in \windows\rings.
This problem also appear at the same time that psShut Xp stops working - when i click the icon on the tray nothing appears...
This problem already appeared one time and i had to hard reset to resolve it, so if anyone has a solution other that this please tell me

there is post on this!!.
this being the 3rd one.
put tone in windows or ram disk.no folder needed just drop it in..
the search is not good.dose not matter what you type in search.
you end up with more or less the same..but not what your looking for.
edit below for KERIO
the programs are on here.why not try the search of something you know is there?.
as most ov what you said is dissing me is stead ov helping ppl
if what i said as upset you.SORRY
i find what am look for(take about 2days).but this is about helping the 1st post user.
i know ive not been around comp a long time..my 1st being p166 brand new from shop cost £1800.thats why my post is low.i look read learn.
and for going to google i did and found this site:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com

Not all the people are "whatever" like you.
Search is working well, but you need to know what are u looking for: OR USE GOOGLE with site:xda-developers.com

Let me rephrase myself.
I get a message about the ringtone beeing corrupted, and media player doesn't work and neither doest psshutxp.
I also said that it works fine after a hard reset but doesn't work after a while, and no 3rd party apps were installed...
Thanks

Same problem
I have the same problem with corrupted ringtones and WM Player. How do I fix this-all I get with an incoming call is a vibration.

Ringtones corrupted
Got the ****, noi Window Media player and WMA Ringtones corrupted, but then open them in explorer everything ok, found on the web about registry Rings key and Directory name dissapearing, but i checked mine and everything in the place. Also some people clkaim that it's Profiles software bug, So any ideas what is a problem?

Fixed
Fixed by re-flashing the phone with Baniaczek's ROM. If only it would now sync, and use TOMTOM....

Awesome On screen keyboard

Check It out...
http://cootek.com/
It is hot!!!

That is cool, kudos for finding it. It's pretty much the blackberry qwerty phone pad, but virtual.

Nice find. I might give this a try.
Currently I am using the excellent pocketcm keyboard and i can type really fast with that. Can be found here
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php

tks 4 sharing.

Now that I have seen the youtube video on this, I like this more than pocketcm. Really excellent product. You must see the youtube video to realise what an innovative product this is. Pocketcm R.I.P

I was amazed after watching the you tube video. Also if you go to the download section it is free until 8th dec 2007!! I've just downloaded going to try it out now.

I grabbed a copy to give it a try, ran the CAB, and when I select "TouchPal" for my input method, it just rolls right back to the standard keyboard. Anyone else have that particular issue? It looks great for one-handed operation, but...
Install went to the device, not the storage card, so please don't suggest that as a fix.

PerfAlbion I just installed to main memory and all is fine. I had to select it and straight away had a intro screen come up. All I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall. It does work.

wow nice find, thanks!

Try a soft reset. I had to do that before I could use the keyboard myself. Once I soft reset however ... off the the races!!

The install instructions tell you to install, then soft reset as mentioned. I did the power-off reset and it works fine.
Just when you think that these things can be improved any further, Thanks for sharing!

Nice prog. Can't use it, I have fat thumbs.

I should have mentioned I did that too, I suppose.
Actually, I did it twice just to make sure. Must be a conflict with some other app I've got loaded up...

Did you install it on the main memory? it wont work if you install it to your sd card

Yeppers. Installed to main memory. With the RAM/ROM on this puppy, I doubt I'll put much on my SD card but music or maps for the GPS.
Is anyone using it successfully with SPB PhoneSuite/MobileShell/PocketPlus? Those and AgendaOne are the primary apps I suspect would be conflicting.

this is keyboard is awesome, the only thing i wnat is the space bar to be in the middle (like the video) is everyones space bar to the left or is it in the middle...

You can just drag and drop it into the middle !

It doesn't show up
Hi.
I have installed it to the device - soft reset - and it doesn't show up! I can see it in remove programs and if I search for 'touchpal' I find in Program Files/TouchPal/touchpal.dll as well as the help file and some dictionary files.
But I cannot find the executable to run it.
Any help?
Thanks.

Never Mind. Sorry for the noise.
It was working.... I wasn't

Sounds like you figured it out but for others that may read this, in order to activate Touchflo you have to choose it from the keyboard input pop up that comes up when you tap the keyboard icon on the screen. Took me awhile to figure this out as well

Windows media player won't open

Hi there, this is my first post on this great board.
First, thanks to all of you for helping me solve loads of problems with my Tilt. Thanks to xda-dev, my phone is really tricked out and great to work with (albeit with crippled video). This site is a fantastic resource, and populated with some very smart and talented people. I've been visiting this site every day since December, when I got my Tilt.
Up until now I've been able to solve all my problems just by reading the Wiki and searching, and I wouldn't start a new thread unless I'd already searched (MANY times) for an answer... but this one's driving me crazy.
Windows Media player will not open. When I click the icon, or an associated file, nothing happens. I don't particularly like WMP, I use CorePlayer instead... but WMP is needed for MP3 or WAV ringtones. So, when I try to select one, I get a message saying "This ringtone file is corrupt or unavailable."
The most relevant thread I could find was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-266527.html. Obviously the problem didn't get solved.
While searching, I also read about some other player (Pocket Music, I think) has the capacity to kill WMP, but I've never installed it. I only use CorePlayer and TCPMP.
I've tried deleting the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders, I've tried checking file associations, and a few other things as well... No luck.
My phone is a bone-stock AT&T Tilt, no custom ROM. I'm really trying to avoid a hard-reset. Does anyone happen to know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Try uninstalling Core Media Player

Thanks for the quick reply... I've tried uninstalling CorePlayer (and lots of other things), with no luck.

By way of a shameless bump...
I should add that .AMR and MIDI files still work as ringtones, but every other (useful) format does not.
Also, I was wondering if anyone has some kind of .CAB file of the actual WMP files, just in case I can fix this with a reinstall. I don't really know how much it would help, since WMP is already in ROM, but I'd really love to solve this without a hard reset if I can.
Thanks again, everyone.

OK... I feel bad bumping this again, but I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I waited for a good month before I posted, trying to figure my own way out of this mess, and this is my last resort. This will be my last bump, I promise.
Has no one else run into this issue? Windows Media Player is dead. It won't open, and I'm fairly certain it's why my WAV or MP3 ringtones don't work.
I'd appreciate ANY ideas, no matter how off-the-wall they might sound... and if anyone has a cab file for WMP, that's also be a great help.
Thanks again for all you guys do.

Sounds like you have corrupted wmp registry, try the attached cab it will restore wmp registry (soft reset after install to apply changes).

Thank you VERY much, sakajati... but unfortunately, installing this cab (and soft-resetting) didn't work for me. I got pretty hopeful for a second there.
In case it matters, I got that post-install message about the software not working properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I'm on a stock, unflashed, noob-approved Tilt.

That's strange! that error message should not pop up if you are really running wm6, you can ignore the message since it's only a warning and is not an error.
Just curious, did you really install it on wm6 device?

Yes, my Tilt is running WM6 Pro. I haven't done any 6.1 upgrading.

Ok I've build full wmp10 installer for you, grab it while you can!

Wow... Thanks so much for going out of your way to help me here.
Bad news, though, it didn't work... I still get the same problem. I click the icon, and absolutely nothing happens.

Just switch to pocket music, it is light years ahead of WMP in my opinion. I needed a player that worked with my bluetooth headphones, had an equalizer and an easy playlist manager. WMP does fit in some ways but it's interface sucks.
Jeff

I agree Jeff, I mainly use TCPMP or CorePlayer... the only reason I want WMP to work is because while it's broken, I can't use MP3 and WAV ringtones.

I had the same problem in that for some strange reason my WMP refuse to start and the system always freezes forcing me to soft reset. Your cab has solved my problem. Thanks a million

Hi, I have the same issue with my Trinity running original WM5 rom. Is it possible to find a clear full WMP9 installer for it, so I can hope to fix this annoying problem ? Thanks !

I ended up having to hard-reset to fix the problem. I was about due for some spring cleaning anyway.

I have a stock rom Blackjack II AT&T branded phone and have experienced this problem twice now. The first time around I ended up hard-resetting the phone to get media player and mp3 ringtones to work again.
This time I've tried installing the "full wmp10 installer" cab so linked above in this thread, but still a no go.
If anyone has even an off-handed guess at what might be causing this problem and/or how I might fix it without a hard-reset I would be forever grateful to hear it!
It seems like this might be a recurring problem on this phone, so I'm desperate to either figure out what's causing it or at least come up with a reasonably quick fix for it when it does happen.

Hi!
Sorry have to bump this thread too. My WMP doesn't start any more and I don't really want to use backup from 2 weeks ago. I tried installing both cabs with no result.
Is there some kind of debugging feature that can be used to track down the problem?

SMS Notification periodic

Hello,
Before my Diamond I had a Motorola v3 Razr. The Razr did give a sms notification every minute or so. When I received a sms, it gives notifications until i read the SMS. The Diamond only flashes the led light. Is it possible to let the Diamond vibrate every 3 minutes or so when there is an unread SMS?
Thnx in advance

Anybody an idear?

settings/personal/sound and notifications/sound (events and notifications on)
settings/personal/sound and notifications/notifications (go look for mms/sms, check "play sound", check "display message on screen", check "vibrate" or choose any combination).
now say thank you and go ...RTFM! (Read The F... Manual) before you post.
i also recommend a search on the forum. don't be lazy...

A bit rude and not even an answer for his question......
He is looking for REPEATED notifications......something SPBPhoneSuite can do for example. There may be other programs out there for the same purpose, don´t know of any freeware, though....

1. sorry you think so. don't get it ...what's rude? my 2 last recommendations?
2. the notification stays on the screen until you dismiss it, so why repeat? as a matter of fact i am not so sure it is not repeating...
i do know for sure that reminders do repeat so i can guess that all notifications are repeating.

i think he is looking for repeated sound notifications.

I'm very sorry when i offended some of you with my question, but the last post sums it all up. I'm looking for a repeating sound/vibration notification. I will try SPBPhoneSuite, but i'm not font on installing an whole " heavy" program for such small things. So when there is an alternative...please let me know

http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=368137Kukuriku - arrogance and rudeness are sometimes difficult to distinguish, but both are bad.

I did a freeware solution - DmsisAlert
Hi, i did a simple application that works on Windows Mobile 5 or superior (.Net CF 3.5 is a requirement).
To download go to DmsisAlert page and click on DmsisAlert link, unzip, tranfer the .cab file and install. If you like (or not), i will appreciate some feedback (you can do that on download page).
With Diamond is a good idea not to use the minimize functionality because after that there is no way to get interface back (allthough it still running on the background). I will work on a solution for that (i'm busy enjoying my new phone ).
hope that can help, helps me a lot

Hi dmoreira,
I like your thoughts about the program. I tryed it, but it gave an error. Nullexeception or something...

Dude, try Best Reminder:
http://best-reminder.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
It ain't freeware, but its light and does the job perfectly every time.
I did use SPB phonesuite before, and I found it heavy with other features I don't need. Also, the damn thing didn't work at times!

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=sms+reminder+vibrate
and free, always check the 'Development and Hacking' forum

@dmoreira: What requirement can that be? I have an stock diamond, with latest romupdate en .Net CF 3.5?
@MasK: That's i very nice program. I tested it, and it does the job except for the vibrating!
@badaas: That's another very nice program. I also tested this one and it works perfect. Except that it turns on the screen with every reminder... And you have to reboot the device to configurate it again...

Ok it works just fine! Very nice program! But if i can say 3 things about it:
- The minimize function still doesn't work to well
- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way
- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?
thnx!

before anything thanks for trying my work... about your comments:
"- The minimize function still doesn't work to well" : You're correct, but in others devices without TouchFlo3D the minimize works a lot better. With TouchFlo3D this feature practically doen'st work (i believe that's the same for other applications that have a minimize function that puts an Icon in the Today Screen).
"- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way": A fix for that will be available very soon
"- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?": It's possible but i dont like the result of doing this with the easiest way, so this feature will be available not so soon (but i will adivise here when so).
I will make some changes and post here a new version with some improvements.
Thanks again for trying.

I like testing this program, because it meets almost my exact criteria for such a program! Nice work!
- That minimize function is a pity, but understandable with the TF3D thing!
- Ok if you can fix that 'delete programs' issue, that would be very nice. I don't have a clue how i can properly delete it now!
- I will wait on a fix for the vibrating! That would be very nice!
Keep up the good work!
Thnx!

Hi Rik_X, after a lot of work (i posted the issue in different forums, but got no answer) trying finding a correct solution to uninstall and i ended downloading SkTools (i downloaded from here http://www.clickapps.com/download.htm?pvid=1324) and use a feature called Installed Programs and then Dmsis Alert was listed and i was able to uninstall it!! After that i install the version attached here and then the Dmsis Alert will appear again in the Windows Mobile Remove Program list. Sorry about the troubles that error could cause you.
Anyway i'm posting the last version the doesn't have this uninstall issue. I'm also working on the vibrate feature (still looking a direct interop way to do that).

Change hourglass/waiting cursor

Hi all,
already searched the forum and even tried Google, but it's not my friend this time.
I don't really like the standard hourglass on my Raphael, I would like it to be some more in TF3D style or at least without the white background.
I found out you can change it with a Marshall's Waiting Cursor program, but the developer's site is down and there is no other place you can download the program as far as I know.
Is there another useful program to change it? Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
His site seems to be working on my end...
I don't know any other software that does the same. I uses Marshall's program for a while on my Tilt, seemed to be working ok. The occasional glitch though.
Cheers,
Cacti

i second MWC2.

Thanks, the site works here now too. Strange.
I'll try it, since it's the only way to change the cursor. Is it so hard to create such cursors?

Wisbar Advance also has the option of customizing the wait cursor. However it is not freeware.

The cursor images/frames are stored in one of tthe dl's(or dll.mui.*) in Windows folder. Open the dll in PC using some resource editor(PE Explorer or Resource Tuner for example) and change those bitmaps. Copy it to your Windows folder back using Resco Explorer(this is the only one,which can overwrite ROM files) and restart.

Anyone that's using MWC2 ever notice their device randomly turning on?
Last time I tried it my screen would come on out of nowhere. Once I uninstalled it the problem went away.

after you uninstalled it, did your cursor go back to the default?
