Hi! I am new to this forums and i am new in windows mobile. Before i had a symbian phone so i was very familiar with symbian and now with windows mobile i am completly lost. I need help regarding avdio and video files. I have put a music files on a 8 gb card, i created folder MUSIC. Now if i want to play that files i have to use file explorer and search for that file and then play it. How can i acces it from built in avdio player? or how can i use it as a ring tone? I dont want to put it on phone memory so is it any way to play it from SD card? I also have a hard time installing anything, i dont know how. Does it ask you on which memory to put aplications on before installing? Symbian was so easy... But anyway i like this phone And one more thing, can i create folder and put games and other aplications, avdio/video files on just like in symbian?
Thanks for all your help, i know it is a long post, but i have many more questions for you

I had also multiple Symbian S60 phones but now i have my 4th Win Mobile device and i dont want to go back to Symbian, its to buggie and to slow (at least the last time i had one).
Even the desktop software from Nokia is very slow.
I will try to help you love your WM6.1 device!!
To play videofiles (I) use CorePlayer: http://coreplayer.com/
For converting your videos to play them on your TD2 (I) use PocketDivxEncoder: http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm
You can put audio and video files on your storagecard, Windows Media Player can search your device (through Library) and then you dont need to look them up throught File Explorer, WMP cannot play avi and divx, use CorePlayer.
With CorePlayer you can search your device, next time you want to open a new video or song it will open in the same location.
If you want the album cover to be displayed in Windows Media Player and/or the TouchFlo3d player, copy the cover (jpg) to the folder where the album is en rename it to folder.jpg (make it a square picture).
Every time you add new songs you will need WMP to search your device again otherwise you can only play then over File Explorer.
To use your audio files for ringtones you need to put them on your device in My Documents\My Ringtones\ or you need a registrysetting.
If you use the registry setting your media player wil also find all ringtones, maybe you like it, i don't.
But how can i install core player and other apps and games? Do i have to put files in specific folder or just on a sd card and then delete the files? and does it ask you where to install it? phone or sd? I am really completly lost it was really easy on symbian devices but on winmo it seems hard, but then again i might be wrong. I am waiting for a official 6.5 winmo from HTC, hope it arrives soon and i hope that app"s and games will be compatible with older winmo"s. Will you be able to create folders on winmo 6.5? For now i dont want to "pimp" my phone too much cause i will have to reinstall everything later, i just want to get familliar with installing games, apps, themes...
Does the phone alarm ring when the phone is off? It didn"t in the morning... Is there a setting to make it work?

It's easy as long as you know what to do!
When you download apps for your phone, they will usually in be a .cab file. You just copy this file to your SD card, then use the phones file explorer to find and click it.
It will then probably warn you about the app not being certified, it's up to you if you want to trust the source you downloaded from.
After that, you will be asked if you want to install on card or phone memory.
The original .cab file can be deleted from the SD card after the installation is complete.

Wrong topic, this one is about Audio and Video files as far as i have read.
But to answer your question, No, when the phone is off, it's off and it stays off until you turn it on.

Re: Camera album and other software missing after hard reset
I have an XDA 2S
After having done a hard resest, my camera is not working, each time i take a picture or video and try and save it the following message come up:
Unable to execute album. please make sure album has been installed on your pocket pc. 36001:105:0
I have looked up the apps cds i had with the phone but cannot find this software. How do i get this sofware.
other apps have also disappeared including clear vue df, clearvue ppt, MIDLET manager. where can i get these?
Also when i get videos and audio files sent to me from other phone most videos and audio i cannot seem to play like MP4 and amr files, what do i need to do to play all audio and video files?
As a newbie i dont really know what i am doing so some help and simple instructions would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Rio
read the wiki and don't double post!
wiki.xda-developers.com
sorry but as a newbie i dont know what you mean by wiki?!
download the attachment and install
imatrix
Thanks for the file, i have downloaded it onto my computer.
What do i do with the file, do i just transfer it as it is onto my xda? and where do i transfer it and what do i do?
What does the file have?
Thanks
your help is much appreciated to a newbie!
Transfer it anywhere then just run it using the built-in file explorer or Total Commander. CAB files get deleted once they are installed, so the location doesn't really matter. I'd recommend installing this to the phone, not a storage location.
thanks fraser worked a treat. any ideas how i could play audio .amr files?
Thanks man
hi i already install the cab file and the camera icone appear in program file but after hard rest it is gone again
what shal i do
hey guys, just a warning, dont install pocketdivx, its a piece of crap doest work, and then doesnt allow u to un-install it. i was able to find the pocketdivx files on my device, but theres still the shortcuts on the programs menu; how do i remove them?? thanks in advance. also, while we're on the topic, whats the best .divx player? i tried tcpmp, but its really choppy... thanks
omar
if you man the link, load up file explorer and go to
device\windows\start menu
you can delete from there.
got it, thanks
sooo, does anybody know a good divx player? or why does tcpm freeze every 2 seconds? thanks
have you tried playing with buffering in tcpmp?
Also, make sure that you have downsized the movies for PDA. there's a few freee and good programs out there that do this. The smaller, the better. A lot of data moves across that card
Hello All...
I have spent DAYS reading here and other places on the web looking for an easy 1step solution for my problem... I have installed S2P and it is great... I love to play the game "Anything your phone can do, mine can do better" to iphone people.. lol.. Anyways, here is my problem..
The S2P software was not displaying the album art so I couldn't do the cool flip throug hte CD thing... So in Monday I decided to try to fix that... I did some reading, and checked if my WIndows Media Player Mobile would display it.. it wasn;t either...
I WAS jsut dragging and dropping onto my SDHC memory card... Read that is the problem as I need to sync it using windows media player on my computer to get it to work... I tried that.. nothing.. I deleted the partnership and tried again.. Still nothing.. I erased the mediaplayer data file from the root directory.. tried again.. nothing nothing nothing..
I read about downloading the cover manually and inserting it as folder.jpg.. That worked perfect.. The problem with that is I have nearlt 50GB of music files.... And that would take forever... Isn;t there a way to just make the hidden album art visable so it goes when I drag and drop? I remember in the OLD days you could see the JPG files in the CD's folder... On my computer, the album art IS There as I can see the image when I use explorer or when I browse my library using MEdia Player... I tried the old trick of making the entire music folder and all sub-directories invisible and then visible to un-hide anything that was hidden, that didn;t work.. I also tried some programs such as AV Album Art Fixer (I just get an error when that program tries to load), MP3Tag and a few others... My problem is I am looking for something that I just point the program at my music folder, and it just either enables all existing album art to a visible copyable file, or something that will automaticall download/copy/whatever the images to the correct folders. Then when I copy them it will "just work"...
I don;t mean to sound lazy, but it is a big pain to have to manually click every album one at a time or to find them myself, download the image, rename it and copy it... Also, please don;t yell at me for not having found the answer myself in another forum or website as I really have been looking for days...
My phone is a HTC 8925 / AT&T Tilt.. But it is unlocked and I am using another carrier (I got Wifi access as well a slower wireless internet working on it). I also have the USB Sync with it as well...
My computer is a Core 2 Quad system running Vista Ultimate x64 edition.
Thank in advance for your help... I really appreciate it!
And on a side note.. a BONUS you could help with... when I scroll through the CD's I manually downloaded the art for.... it scrolls the "narrow" way... I would really prefer it to scroll sideways instead so the CD image is bigger... I tried "opening" the phone to change the rotation, but that didnt; work and seemed to cause problems... This is a minor thing but would be an added bonsu if you coudl help me with that as well... Again, Thank you so much for you help in advance...
Have you ever been listening to your Britney Spears, Daft Punk or Tupac and suddenly you start hearing files that aren't music (i.e ringtones, notification sounds, etc.)? I find it pretty annoying that there is no current method to hide these files from the music player, until now.
I would like to give credit to Scheff's Blend for this idea, and after tinkering with the the doom game folder on my memory card, I found a file called ".nomedia". Within that same folder was over 100 sound files for the game doom, BUT my music player was not reading that specific folder.
I figured it had to do something with that ".nomedia" file, and coincidentally it DID.
Instructions:
1) Download and unzip nomedia.zip somewhere onto your computer
2) Inside is a file called .nomedia, copy it into the directory of media files you want to hide
3) Reboot your phone
P.S. This also works for pictures and video files, BUT for newly taken pictures and videos, or music files added, a REBOOT is REQUIRED to hide them again.
WARNING: this completely hides the files from the phone, so they become unusable to any application until the .nomedia file is removed, and the phone is restarted. I know Scheff's Blend found a way to use those files while hiding them, yet I haven't. If anyone wants to help me out, feel free to.
I know a lot of people wanted to know how to do this, so sorry to any mod who notices I double posted, but I just realized I should have put it in this forum section to begin with. Feel free to delete the other thread in the "Dream" section.
Right on.
Another option that works is placing files you want hidden inside of a folder that starts with a period, such as ".hiddenfolder" or ".stuffimhiding"
Files and folders that begin with a period are considered hidden files by the Android OS and do not show up in Gallery or the music app
Thanks man..
was looking for a way to do this..

Thanks, thats good to know. But can they be used by lets say the dialer.apk as a ringtone?
I do the same thing with Astro. Like Dave said, keeping a folder with a dot at the front and anything within won't be read unless opened by Astro or renamed. This may not work for the ringtones, but its quicker than having to reboot if you just want to hide photos, documents, videos, etc.
I have problem where videos in folder w/ .nomedia get deleted at each reboot... Now using Cyan 4.1.11.1... Really weird. Each reboot deletes videos in those folders

I have a couple Lumia Windows Phones 8.1 that I enjoy using strictly as an MP3/Music Player. The reason I like LumiaWP is that XboxMusic is the only App I know of which can shuffle thousands of songs without repeating any. I wish I could play videos through XboxMusic too!
currently I am stuck with using the XboxVideo App for playing videos, but the problem is that XboxVideo will only play 1 video at a time (i cant find any auto-play). Everytime a video ends the phone goes back to the menu instead of continuously playing the next video, forcing me to manually select play for each video. This is really annoying and defeats the purpose of why I like this phone
A few months ago I tried installing VLCplayer on my LumiaWP but it didnt work, and now I heard the Windows Store has been shutdown Im trying to figure out how to install the App manually? I found a guide to install XAP files, but it seems that guide no longer works without the actual Store... does anybody know how I can install VLC on my LumiaWP? or any other video player? I tried downloading the VLC .APPX files (i think?) and put them on my SD card but it doesnt seem like anything happened, seems like most sites link to the windows store which obviously doesnt work
Please tell me there is a way to setup a Video Playlist without having to buy a new phone? :angel:
Thanks!
You can install appx directly from device. You just put file in storage and tap "Install" at File Explorer.

I feel like such a newb for not having these things installed before I cant believe my win8 phone doesnt have a file manager lolz
I had an older Lumia Windows Phone for many years and I purchased 2 newer last year, and I unfortunately didnt hear about the Windows Store shutting down until just recently!
I really like these as media players, and luckily one of my newer ones works with Win10, but I still want to try and setup the other one I have (which is still on 8.1) I dont think I can update my older one to Win10, but thats not a big deal if I can find another way to install the File Explorer
Will setting up interlope help me get files installed? I never hacked a phone before, but I'm certainly going to try! Hopefully I can find the time to read more into the instructions later this weekend :good: or... is it not possible without the file app? its a lumia925
Thanks
