Things i like to see on the TD2 - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I really like my TD2 and TF3D but i'm missing some things..
I hope someone can make this or maybe it already exists..
- In the contacts tab you have at the right side the alphabet were you can select a letter to search contact, I'm wondering this is possible in the music tab, because when i want to listen to a song that starts with the " w " i need to scroll down allot and that takes some time..
- Scrolling with the zoombar, i have seen a topic about this but there wasn't a working solution
- When you're listening to music with the earplugs you can still use the volume buttons when the devices screen is turned off. It would be really helpful to go to the next song with the " hang up " button and go to the previous song with the " start call " button. Is this possible??
- Open a program by holding the start and/or back button. This does work by holding the " start call " button and the " hang up " button. But not with the start and go back button.
- I can't change my SMS receive sound in a .wav file of 4.21kb. Any solution for this? maybe some config change program
- No top curtain at the home menu, I tried some .cabs that would remove it but this didn't work, there was jus't a white bar. and there was also a white bar in the other tabs.
Thanks and Regards, Bas

Already found and tried that but it doesn't work...

To scroll really quickly through your entire list of music, try using Windows Media Player instead of the TF3D music tab. Just switch off the tab in Settings and the phone will use WMP instead. It's much, much faster than TF3D and displays your album art face on instead of skewed to one side.
As far as skipping tracks is concerned, WMP allows you to assign whatever keys you like to whatever functions you want. Personally I use stereo bluetooth headphones which have built in volume, start/pause and track skip controls.

No topcurtain

This bluetooth adapter is what I use myself. Without changing any settings on my TD2 it works perfectly, and it can change volume up / down and change track. Sound quality is far better than what I was expecting, with no hissing or crackling. And cheap as chips.

Change tracks of player with headset button

@ the great developers:
Is it possible to change the tracks of the player with headset button?
i was also lookin for such a thing... even pause is enough for me with headset... but seems nobody is lookin for that...
Here is my solution:
load voice commander... hold the tiny headset button for 2 sec... then say "next"... or whatever you want...
but would be better to change with a "click"
thank you.
but i don't really understand, how to do?
where is the voice commander?
How can i put a voice record to the "Next" function?
if i put the button for over 2 sewc than the diamond do al coll to my girlfriend.
How can i change it?
waooww... I'd assumed you have already voice commander program... zorry my mistake... You need to first install this program... I think you can easily find it after a quick search in web... Then this programs take care of the rest... no need to even teach "next" command... it knows it by heart... The button will be automatically assigned for voice commander for a long push... Enjoy it...
which version have i to choose?
im thinking of getting a hardware controller like the one for nokia. anyone heard of 1 before?
Ya guys can try this...

Some not-answered obvious questions (To me!)

Hi people!
Just got my diamond and i do love it!
just a few questions i thought some one could help out with. i have searched for answers to these but they do not seem to be answered or even asked.
To me they seem like obvious questions, but the way each person uses their phone is unique i suppose.
1) i use bluetooth headphones and after upgrading the rom to TOM_DiamondProject_v3.3_WWE from the stock rom the audio quality is MUCH improved. the thing when ever i try to enable audio booster it says i have no headset connected. now i assume the audio booster puts a few treble bass boosts on and ups the voltage on the headphone output. i am i correct in assuming that since bluetooth headphones have their own power and audio circuitry this feature is not needed for me or is there a way of getting the volum/bass/trable boosts enabled with bluetooth headphones? Not to boost the volume of the bluetooth headphones, as that is the domain of the headset, but to send a louder/bass singlal to the headset?
2) people have suggested disabling gprs/internet to save on battery. great idea but i am wondering, if some one sends me a picture, will the gprs/mms connection fire up and accept or will i get a text message, like my mum does, to direct me to a website to download the picture?
3) people have suggested turning of the GPS. whilst this is not a feature i would use ( i dont drive!) i cannot see an explicit option to turn it off any where, such as the comms manager.
4) am i correct in thinking that the touch flow 3d music tab will only play mp3? i have moved some aac encoded mp4 and m4a containred files into the folder and whilst the mp3`s are picked up by the music tab, the m4a/mp4 files are ignored. they play fine in media player so i assume this is a problem with the music tab? any way of making it `see` m4a/mp4 files?
finally.
5) i was hopeing the music tab would be like the cover flow on the ipods but its not. am i right in thinking that i have to sellect the album i want to play and then flick up and down to flick between the tracks? can i not flick between albums like you can on an ipod without selecting the album i want via libary -> albums -> album1 etc? in other words can i only flick between tracks and not albums?
thanks in advance for any help any one can give me!
p.s. while i remember, is there any way to make the text in the sms application smaller? with the keypad and the threaded sms there is no room for what i am texting. can i alter the screen real estate set asside to the previous sms at the top and make it smaller and then increase the amount set to what i am typing? can i make the font used in this program smaller? theres no need for size 14 fonts in sms on this screen!
1> Audiobooster wants the headphones connected to the miniusb port, try coreplayer or srs app to boost normal audio
2> If you've disabled data completely, you'd just get the sms with the link
3> This is managed by the system - GPS apps will open the serial port and the driver will power up the GPS. Bascially it's off until an app opens it.
4> Not that i've seen, but then I dont really use this part of TF3D - perhaps theres a plugin if you search?
5> Tracks from what i've seen from my limited use
Last one is set by going into settings->system->screen
Text size controls the text size of most apps.
2. You have two connections, normal Internet and MMS, only disable the internet one if you want. This won't save you much power though, disabling 3g and push is what saves you the most power. Aslong as your internet connection isnt always active basically.
5. You cannot flick through albums.

Tf3d: Control Music volume separately

I'd like to set the music audio lower than my system volume on the tf3d audio player. (I think I'm one of those few who listen to music while going to sleep and I can't get system volume quiet enough to not be annoying).
I've tried Shaps Advanced configuration tool to toggle the music player volume but it must be designed for the old HTC home because I can't tell any difference even after dropping from 100 to 5 and rebooting.
Any ideas? Is there already a knowledge base on this? If so, please point me there as I've done every search I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
you can use windows media player instead.
Yeah. But WMP is much less user-friendly and it doesn't integrate seamlessly with TF3D. If I knew alternatives to TF3D that integrated a good music player on a vga device I would switch. But so far everything I've tried including SBP Shell don't seem to do that well.
Thanks for the suggestion.
TF3D volume too high
Long time after the creation of tis post ...
but I'm experimenting the same issue!
When my volume slider is on the minimum (actually one step above zero), the music volume is still too loud for me.
Has anyone found an issue to that?
Thank's
It's been a long time since I used the Fuze. But as I remember, you could go to the settings in one of the far-right tabs of Touch Flo (if using a customized ROM) and manually change the volume. But it only stayed that way until the next time you changed it. I eventually just bought a set of headphones with their own independent volume slider so I could adjust it that way. It was a clumsy solution and one reason I left Windows Os behind for good. We'll see about their improvements with W7, but I'm skeptical until I see they can get it right.
Hope that helps!
I have the same problem. Minimum volume on my HTC Touch Pro 2 is far too loud when I am in a quiet ambiance.
I would be very interested in a solution.
It is a pity that there are "amplificators" available but obviously no system that could help us protecting our ears !
yeah, I have the same problem, but Nitrogen player looks even more finger friendly and stable, it do not ruin my music library, so everything is just the way it was in my now dead iriver Clix

¿FIX? Notification sounds halt/stop/pauses all other audio playback via headset

I'm pretty sure I've looked and searched all of the Xperia threads for a solution to this issue I'm having with my X1i.
Here's my problem: If I'm playing music (using WMP or the Media Panel) with the headset plugged in and a new SMS, MMS, e-Mail, Reminder, or ANY type of WM notification pops up, the track is halted/stoped/paused/or interrupted for a brief second to prioritize and play the notification sound and then resumes the audio playback. I've looked at all the sound settings to see if there was a new option (headset options) to prevent this from happening but have had no luck...
My only guess is that it has to do with the headset drivers or the notify settings in the registry.
The only solution I've had to work with so far is to un-check the Play Sound box for all the notification options available in Sounds & Notifications and check the Display message, Flash light, and Vibrate options to let me know when I get a new message.
I want to be able to have my notifications "Play Sound" when I get a a new notice OVER any playing audio (overlapping) through the headphones. When the headphones aren't plugged in (and the audio is playing from the speaker) notification sounds overlap (without stopping/halting the audio).
If anything, I'd prefer to have the notify sound play out only from the speaker and not through the headphones, as long as it doesn't interrupt the Mp3 playback.

I think this is fault of WinMo....
i don't doubt that it may be a WinMo issue, but the beauty of WinMo is the ability to edit and correct those little things...I'm hoping maybe one of the developers and ROM creating geniuses can help with either instructions of where to go in the registry to fix this or maybe even create little cab file that'll do the trick
I've tried 2 different ROMS in hopes of having that issue resolved....

I think it's an issue that winmo can't handle two seperate audio streams at once, so it stops one to start the other, but I may be wrong..

I don't think so since multiple apps will sound together (e.g. S2P & Core player). Make a backup and play around w/ the following:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/AlertInterrupt (try 0 and 255)
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256 w/ lower value

How to set mp3 as ringtone

Hello all,
I can't find a way to set a mp3 as ringtone in default music player.
Anyone know how?

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.
With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings
Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?
Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.
Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!
