I have a ZTE N817 that only care to use as an music player. It is horrifically slow and unresponsive with it's 0.5 GB of RAM and 2GB of storage. I'm hoping somebody more knowlegdeable can help me get it set up to not be garbage. I could use my PC to put music on an SD card, then I'd just need bluetooth and headphone output, and a basic almost text mode only interface for browsing music files.

I just a baught a new pc to play crysis with as i wanted to catch up on the hype.
The PC is running
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q660) 2.4GHz
4GB of ram (although vista 32bit is only reading it at 3007MB)
GEFORCE 9800GT 1024MB
My main problem is this, iv connected the pc to my HD Monitor using the graphics cards hdmi out, iv also connected the sound card to my monitor, so the sound comes out the integrated speakers,
The monitor keeps making these hissing and clipping sounds which is conflicting with the sound cards sound, so i get sound but, suddenly il get a hiss and a clip, every 5 seconds, when i take the hdmi cable out of the monitor the clipping and hissing stops and theres no conflict, so im assuming its something to do with the graphics card.
Is there anyway to disable the sound coming through the hdmi cable and just get it coming through the sound card.
Please someone help
so im guessing no one else has had this problem?
well if anyone has got any idea please let me know, thanx
um graphics card maybe cant handle it? go to a gaming forum or just google crysis help/problems and get better help somewhere else....

If your computer or TV have DVI as well you can try using that instead. I use DVI Out on my computer (Don't have HDMI Out on computer anyway) and HDMI IN on the TV (only HD Input on TV). Since DVI does not handle sound - only video, this could potentially solve your problem.
Evolancer13, the graphics card runs crysis perfectly, iv been playing it very high settings, i dont know the framerate, but iv been playing it at very high without problems. its just the sound, might be driver issues.
hotrod101, that is a very good idea, i think im going to do exactly that, thanx very much.
oh yeh, the sound issue wasnt just when i was playing crysis, it was everywhere even when i wasnt playing music, you can hear clipping and hissing sounds, i think its because the motherboards intergrated sound hasnt been connected to the graphics card sound input, so somehow thats whats causing the proble, hotrod101, however i trully beleive your solution will work, thanx again.
Glad I could help. That's what we are all here for isn't it. To seek help and offer help when needed.
Take care

Hi Folks,
thanks for a great discussions on this forum, it helped me a lot in some issues!
I have had a good idea of having a "universal" device since my first pda. And I thought I would get one with Diamond, but unfortunately... The issue is that am trying to use Diamond as a GPS device and a memory unit at the same in my car... I have an MP3 car radio with USB (incl. power supply), so what I am trying to get is:
-> Running GPS inside Diamond (e.g. Navigon)
-> Running car radio (supplying Diamond with power)
-> Car radio reads Diamond's internal flash memory over USB
Until now I only managed that Diamond's GPS running and getting power over USB (-> selected ActiveSync after plugging in the USB cable into car radio) OR Diamond's internal memory serving MP3s for my car audio and charging itself over USB.
So my question: Is it theoretically possbile to get what I want?
I know, setting Diamond as internal memory demounts the flash for external USB device and makes it unavailable for internal applications... And ActiveSync will never work with the car audio... And there is not enough space to place GPS maps into ROM... But probably you have some ideas or tweaks of apps, which could help me???
So what I tried was:
1. Creating two memory patritions my SD-card with my old XDA mini S and demounting them with WM5torage. It didn't work with mini S as WM5torage recognised only one created partition. It also didn't work with Diamond as I could not create two partitions on it (for several reasons).
2. I tried to find an extra soft app, which would "extend" ROM emulating it by using the space of the internal memory. Didn't work.
3. Use different USB modes...
So do you have an idea?
Thanks and regards,
schroschy

I've got the same kind of car radio... but I don't see any chance to get what you (and I) want. so get yourself a usb-memory-stick (with even more than 4 gb) or a second diamond
Anrgy...
Argh... I'm so f**king angry!
'Cause HTC Diamond Pro, which comes out in a couple of weeks, got 512 MB ROM and an external miniSD card slot - just enough to place a map of Germany or enough mp3's / ogg's on each sigle partition!
Bastards...
EDIT: But there MUST be a workaround! I can't believe it doesn't work! I heard Micro$oft is working on an alternative product to ActiveSync... Maybe it'll help us...
Any further suggestions?
a new radio...
i thought about a new radio with bluetooth. so you can play music with the diamond and use tomtom at the same time and hear both (music and commands) through the speakers in your car...
it's cheaper than buying a pro
there was an app for older pdas that would allow you to present the storage as a disk , i think you could also still access it from the pda
@cookie: you guess you mean WM5torage... i tried this one, it didn't work with xda mini s (qtek 9100). and it does not work with wm6.1 anyway...
@Herr_Knigge: i though about it... what you mean is basically using diamond's internal media player and transmitting audio via bluetooth, don't you? i will try it out next time at the media store and will share my experiences...
thus, if anyone has a good workaround / tweak / app to solve the problem - you are welcome
I'm curious about why you're so determined to get this to work... is it so that you don't have to buy a car charger kit?
Seriously, you can get a 4GB flash drive for peanuts
@Davey101:
well sure you can get an SD for peanuts, but hangig around with your sd-card plus cardreader plus all this chargers etc. is what i hate... why can't i have everything in one device???
@Herr_Kringe:
i had a small BT-test in the media store on firday. it worked fine (with some minor interruptions when loading) with sony mex bt 5000. however, i am not sure about the sound quality. sony supported special audio-streaming-mode and i started diamond's bluetooth-headset-mode... so i guess it was all mono sound. thus you can tweak it to joint stereo in diamond's regestry...
another thing i'm worried about using BT is the volume level. since the audio player is running in diamond and not in the car audio device, loudness maximization inside diamond could cause some distortions. and i am not sure if there is any sound wave normalization / limiting inside the bluetooth interface. i will do some more tests this week.
PS! another cool thing was that navigation speech was also heard in car radio over bluetooth there was kind of a loundess controller between player and navigation, so the player turned down the level to hear the navigation speech
Alright, simply put: I want to use my Tilt to replace my old MP3 player.
I installed PocketPlayer and got an 8 gig MicroSD card. Filled the card about half-full with music, and plugged it in.
This is the weird thing. The first time I put it in, PocketPlayer recognizes all the files (1200 or so), and they play without issue.
The problem is, if I exit the program and try again later, only about 60 files are still in the library.
When I check the card with File Explorer, I only see those files. If I take the card out and open it on my PC, everything's still in there.
So my question is, why is it that my Tilt isn't able to keep all these files available to me?
Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
i would try not to place all the files in 1 dir but put them in sub dirs if you dont already to see if it makes a difference
never had the issue myself but my lib is a tree struct with artist->album->tracks
hmm, I personally use media player so i have my db or artists/geners/albums etc
My card is 4gb with a boat load of songs on it, have you tried using a diffrent player to confirm its not pocket thats not causing the problem ?
do the files disapear from you another(total commander/etc) file explorer within windows mobile as well ?
um my 2c's
I have 1.4G of music on mine, in appropriate directories, and it's okay with Pocket Player.
However, I find that Pocket Player uses a lot of battery playing them. I don't know if it's because I have them in ogg format or what, but the Tilt gets quite warm when playing for a while and the battery drop is pretty high, although I haven't actually measured it yet. I should do that tomorrow.
I haven't had any problems w/ TCPMP & my 8 gb card. I have all my music in storage card\my music\'artist names', and all the playlist files saved in my music
the htc audio manager is good no problems when using it with 8gb card. but the repeat function doesnt work does anyone have the same problem???
I use Mortplayer (Freeware) which is better than any commercial app out there. I have lots of MP3's on my 8gb card and always reads my library. It can also display album art. It also has presets and extra Bass etc etc. Try it out.
Does your Tilt go boooom?
Okay, re-organizing the music into directories worked.
Now I'm faced with the problem of getting an effective way to listen to it.
I have a good set of headphones, but the USB-headphone adapter is another story.
I don't like the fact that the adapters make it so that the microphone doesn't work. What's the best solution for an adapter? Or should I just give up and go Bluetooth?

I personally like the Motorola S9 bluetooth headset. It all depends on the style you like but they sound pretty good. For bluetooth, it also depends on how much you'll be listening to it between charges.
I use the Plantronics convertible headset. Without the earbud it you can listen or make calls like a standard bluetooth. With the earbud you get stereo sound. The fit is dependant on your ears, though. They give you several options, including isolating buds, but you have to find what fits your ear best. Sound is great, and the bud make stereo convenient. I keep the bud in my pocket, so it is always available.
I use the latest Pocketplayer without a proble and like that the new version supports bluetooth control button like next song and play/pause. I still use TCMP to play my videos and with those two you cant go worng.
I bought a pair of sennheiser hd558 yesterday (for home use on my laptop) and i am surprised how they sound hooked up on my SGS (with voodoo to get everything out of the wolfson chip), the only problem is that my laptop has a onboard sound chip (Realtek ALC883) wich gives a crappy output.
As i am a student on a kind of tight budget i was having some "brainfarts" about making the SGS think it is a soundcard while connected to the laptop. That way i can play everything on the laptop as usuall and the output goes thru the SGS.
Is this possible ? If it is, is there someone willing to help me do it ? Because there is very little information available about this (only about wireless and i dont want to send a laggy stream to my phone with the possibility of losing quality).
I have already looked at VLC/UPnP options but the only thing available seems to be a bunch of players i can install on my SGS wich stream (thus thru wifi wich i DONT want) the files off my laptop.
Basically, i want my SGS to act as a fully operational usb soundcard for my laptop when i tell it to do so.
PS: I use foobar2000 as music player, setting this up with ASIO4ALL would solve the problem of having a transmitter, the problem still left is the phone accepting it.
Wow now aren't you expecting too much out of your SGS!
Anyways I don't even know if something like this is even possible... but it would be quite interesting if it could, but I highly doubt it!
Need some help to recorder exactly whats playing with quad dac and the exact same quality, native by software. Don't tell me using another sound card or mics. Can USB recorder do that? Do you know other software? Also it needs to leave quad dac enabled...
Trying to figure out if this is possible and if it has solutions. If not, maybe with a laptop, but what kind of software or external sound card can capture the exact same 32 bit data from the quad dac? Please help.
no UAPP cannot do this. there is no solution short of maybe root and even then I've never come across anything close.
more critically... engaging the quad DAC inherently means you are converting to analog. your request to avoid sound cards or mics is nonsensical, because an analog signal needs to be converted back to digital bro.
FYI if your intention is to rip music from streaming services, that's a whole different operation (encryption etc). I believe it is only possible with Google Play Music (Tidal has proprietary MQA encoding).
just tell me what you're really trying to do, maybe there's a better way.
