anybody know if we can make playlists in windows phone 7? if we can then how?
The only way you can create a Play List in the current version of WP7 is via the Zune. You would have to create the playlist in the Zune and then sync your device. Thats when the play list comes up on your phone. I know, it sux, but for now thats the only way.

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.
Hello,
Does somebody has experience with the Tunes Remote app and ITunes9?
I am able to connect to my Itunes and all the artists load. When I click on an artist I see his albums and the number of songs on this album, but when I open an album I get the message that there are no songs in this album. If I long press an album I can play the songs in it and the name and track information displays on screen. I can also skip songs etc. Is this normal behavior or just ITunes 9 related?
Does somebody also has used this app to control his apple tv? I am thinking about buying one.
Thanks in advance
I can't even get it to connect.. It wont find any shared libraries, and manual connection makes it see the android in iTunes, but after entering the pairing code 0000, it just disconnects, and starts the pairing again...
Anybody got it actually working, on itunes 9, on OSX?
Same problem here it wont even connect for me.
Hi!
I got the same problem... I start up TunesRemote (when my Hero is connected to WiFi), and my phone starts to search for libraries... it searches ... and it searches ... and it just keeps searching ! I doesn't give me any results or errors (like he couldn't find any libraries, or..) or anything!
Too bad, but ah well.. I still have the controls on my macbook although, I hope this will be fixed in an update. I don't know if this update has to come from Apple (of so, little change it's gonna happen ) or from the app itself... I'm guessing the app ? Anyone ?
Thanks !

Same problem here in OS X. Searching finds nothing, manual sees it in iTunes but doesn't pair on the phone. So I switched to GMote. It works.
Even tho I'm sitting here with a Desire, I guess I found the solution, noone essentially posted on the net yet. I kinda know, cause I've been trying to get the Tunes Remote working for 2 days straight now.
But I solved it. Or let me say, google did.
Here's what I had to do to make sure everything turns out fine:
(number 2a is the step most likely responsible for all the fuzz. But I tell you my whole journey)
1) itunes
a] share my library in the local network (settings -> sharing)
b] activate my computer in iTunes in the store to share content (yes, it needs an account. try it without. i don't know)
c] make itunes search for remotes (settings -> at the bottom)
2) computer (I have windows XP sp2)
a] deinstall bonjour
b] reinstall a clean bonjour (google bonjour print download) and make sure it's running (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> services)
c] essential: open the bonjour-necessary port 5353 (take the instructions from ehow regarding "How to manually open ports in Windows XP". and kill window's firewall. it's whack anyway)
3) handset
a] install Tunes Remote (you should know jsharkey's site by now) (you need to allow non-market apps)
b] start it and manually enter your computer's IP in the options (your IP can be found via ipconfig: run "cmd" and type ipconfig)
4) your home
a] enjoy control your itunes from anywhere
Hope this helps any of you guys who struggled and got angry at the no-help state of google regarding this topic. All in all it's been a really aggravating road, but the road ended in success and a proper itunes remote
I've got Tunes Remote working and I love it, but it doesn't stay paired once you shut down either the app or iTunes. Anyone got a fix on how to keep things paired (make iTunes and the app remember eachother so you don't have to pair them EVERY TIME you start iTunes)?
Hi all!
I am new here...Hi! Wondering if you can help me out? I am new to to Windows Phone software (a recent Apple convert!) and am struggling a little with a couple of things:
1 - Getting the phone to appear on my computer as an external device so i can just drop some videos on to it, i have sync'd the phone to no avail!?
2 - Getting previous digital copies of films which were put onto my external HDD through iTunes, when i view them in my computer they show up with the Zune logo,then when you try to play them, it says cannot play, burn or sync this protected file code - C00D11E7. But Zune says it accepts .m4v files?!
Thanks in advance for you help!
Scott.

1 - You cannot use it as an external device. You can sync photos, videos, songs through Zune. Just open Zune, let it access the folders where you keep the stuff u want it to sync into your phone. Then through the contents, drag folders or files you want into the phone logo at the bottom left hand corner and it will sync in. The reason they do this is to minimise risks of virus or things to get into your phone I guess.
2 - Dunno about iTunes files as not an Apple fan. but i have been syncing videos in to my HD7 with no problems. I guess maybe your vids are locked by iTunes only to be played by Apple apps?
Is there anyway i can install .cab files on the hd7 this is frustrating because i wanted to watch mkv rips that i have on my pc and so i wanted to install the coreplayer that worked so well on the hd2 but it's in .cab file but this phone doesn't let me use activesync so i can use explorer and move and copy files into the phone and install it like i did with windows mobile 6.5.
I don't like zune (because it only allows audio and video to be transferred not apps or games) is there any other software for the wm7 i can use for sync my hd7?
OMG i regret buying this phone already i swear i am going to smash it if i can't install coreplayer.
You can't install Coreplayer or any other WM6.5 apps on WP7, it's a completely different OS on a completely different Kernal. Kinda like asking if you can install the WM6.5 version of Coreplayer on iPhone.
Did you not look into the device/OS before you bought it?
I actually thought it would accept .cab files since it was running on windows mobile 6.5 and its the same family.
OK so what kind of a player should i use to watch videos from mkv format ?
and is there something else except Zune so i can explore my HD7 like i did with autosync ?
Microsoft started afresh with WP7, to differentiate the 2 they called the latest installment Windows PHONE 7, whereas the older generation kept it's Windows MOBILE name, however this doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
As for your MKV's, unless Zune automatically converts them for you when transferring them to your device, there is no way of watching them other than converting to .MP4 or .WMV.
No it's only Zune so far that will sync your stuff, similar to Apples love for iTunes, however Zune is much less intrusive

How can people spend their money so blindly!?!
Anyone know where the auto thumbs up playlist is stored in Google play? Or how I can export it? It's really a pain in the ass whenever I flash a new rom to create a new one.
I haven't been able to find a straight answer yet. I'm sure it's possible .
