For radio, check out Resco Radio: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/default.asp
GPS, you need an external receiver and then GPS software like TomTom: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/XDA-Exec-GPS.htm
For your WMP problem, goto Menu/Options/Video in WMP and there's a setting there to scale it to full window. Personally, I'd recommend having a go with TCPMP, it's freeware and much better for video and audio than WMP (in my opinion).
Welcome to the XDA, hope you have as much fun as a lot of us do

first at all, thanks for the info. for the windows media player, i've set the the video to full scale but it is still small. i don't understand what "recommend having a go with TCPMP, it's freeware and much better for video and audio than WMP (in my opinion)". i'm sorry. too slow to learn all this thing.. which rom u recommend i should upgrade to? does it affect the resco pocket radio if i installed new rom u recommended? what the differences windows mobile 6 (crossbow) and the normal windows mobile in xda exec? what is an extended rom? thanks for the replies...

TCPMP stands for The Core Pocket Media Player, http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download
Does what WMP does, just better.
There are a few threads already about the benefits/limitations of WM6, it's really a personal thing and some prefer it, some don't. It's missing some components like video calling, but fixes for this are now being released. It really is a case of trying it for yourself and seeing what you prefer. It's certainly faster than WM5.
Extended ROM is a small 10mb memory section which is locked by operators and contains their own customisations and settings which are activated on hard reset. You can unlock this and remove all those files and use it for your own storage, be it programs or music or whatever.
Go hunting, there are a lot of threads that you should read before you get started, firstly, read the WIKI and get to know a bit more about your device before you do anything a bit more advanced.
Good luck.

thanks a lot again...

where can i download the windows mobile 6.0? any links?

cant play mms:// streams with wm6 in wmp

For some reason wmp cant play mms:// streams on my trin.
This is the error i get,
cannont find the file. The file might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. If the file is stored on a server or a removable storage card, the server or storage card might not be available.
It doesnt even try to connect , it just pops up this error right away after pressing ok.
Im using the dopod wm6 rom on my p3600.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Hmm ok mms:// urls do work.
However only when i use an normal url.
If i use an ip address it fails right away and gives that error for some reason.

I bet your MMS settings are off. Have you followed the instructions provided by your provider?

mms:// has nothing to do with multimedia messaging.
Its just a live stream , called Microsoft Media Server protocol.
The problem is that i try to connect to my webcam at home , the url i should connect to is my ip like this: mms://my.ip.number.here:8080
But that doesnt work. (also doesnt work if i dont add the port number.)
It does work if i use this kind of url:
mms://this.plays.fine/bla
So i probably need another program to create the mms stream.

Like the url isnt right.
Looks like it just doesnt take urls with no /bla at the end.

Just curious, I never use mms. Could you post an url that I can test on my P3600?

I'm wondering about this too. I used to watch newsfeeds using what I believe was mms:// streams, though I gotta be honest I am not 100 percent sure of the format, but they all used to play fine in WMP. I would just click the link from a bookmark in Pocket Internet Explorer then it would connect and play in WMP.
Hadn't looked at any for a bit, probably not since I upgraded to WM6.
Just recently I discovered I can no longer play them (as in not on my Trinity, I can play them on my laptop). Here a couple of sample links to try:
http://dynamic.cnn.com/video/meta/live/stream.1.large.asx?nsfg=&CNNid=
mms://msnbc.wmod.llnwd.net/a275/e1/video/100/vh.asf
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/wm/video/heads_bb.asx
Actually, I realize I can;t even get the Windows Media Mobile home page clips to play either.
http://www.windowsmedia.com/mobile/
So I guess I am not just having mms:/ stream probs.
According to the Wikipedia entry (and just cos someone entered into Wikipedia I realize that does not automatically make it true, but that's the link for what it is worth...) it is an outgoing Microsoft format no longer supported in WMP Mobile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Media_Services
The Windows Mobile entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_mobile
...suggests that the only format support in WMP now are .WMA, .WMV, .MP3, and .AVI files.
I am gonna dig around on the Microsoft site to see if I can come up with anything there. Also, I wonder if there is a thrid party player than can handle these? I have tread both Coreplayer and TCPMP and they both return an error sayig they can't handle the codec... which is similar to what WMP says too.
Maybe on of the many gurus on this board could please shed some more light on this one? TIA

did u check coreplayer which plays all of those format? you can find in by using google and do coreplayer v1.1.1 build 1600 you should be able to find it on share download with the code.. I believe this is the last free version they had..not sure though.. I know someone put it on some rom and then got taken off...
Good luck.

Thanks for the helpful feedback. First off, I've got a really basic question for anyone reading. Please would you simply open WMP on your Trinity and click on the little globe that takes you to the Windows Media Mobile website, then see if you can play any clips... I can't. If it is just me then I know I have something screwy going on. Otherwise something more substantial may have changed.
Also, if this Microsoft MMS format is getting a bit out of date maybe people would be kind enough to suggest some other news feeds and stuff which use the players built into our Trinity's as they are now?
Yep, I have Coreplayer, though mine is 1.0.4 not the latest which does seem to be the 1.1 release. It wasn't and isn't free - might be why it got pulled off the ROM mentioned and the site is a bit unconventional as it is mainly geared to selling to OEM manufacturers not retail, so I can't figure out if I can upgrade without paying again. I can say that vers 1.0.4 does not appear to be able to stream any form of Media, though it can play many kinds locally. The description of the slightly newer version suggests it has some streaming but not for any Microsoft formats. Here is the link to the Coreplayer site.
I am sure people already know but just in case Coreplayer is the commercial descendant of free TCPMP which can be downloaded here. The last version was 0.72 and that can't stream the Microsoft MMS type file either.
Both these players are handy and have slightly different features. My version of Coreplayer can play back Apple QuickTimes. While TCPMP can play Flash FLV files using this extra plug-in
I also tried downloading the old WMP 7.1 for Pocket PC from Microsoft here.
I managed to install it but not suprisingly it won't launch. Think I'd better remove it before it really messes up my Trinity!
Oh, I dug around on Microsoft's support site and while it does not explicitly confirm the Wikipedia info, it appears to suggest it by ommision. I can only find references to the MMS format in relation to old products.
Sorry for the long post. Please do let me know if you can access and play clips from Windows Media Mobile. Many thanks.

Maybe its the Rom!
im using mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 and i can play MMS/streams no problem in WMP

Uh oh! Well...OK then! I can stop goofing around with Media players! It is obviously either my ROM version (or just maybe a conflict between the multiple Media players I have installed). I am on the current AX3L ROM. Sounds like I should consider the mUn 2.00.S.E WM6 ROM then!
I guess I could also try the Official Dopod WM6 or hang to see if an HTC 6 ROM does really comes out soon.
Thanks a lot for that. You have saved me any more wasting time on this and I do appreciate it.
EDIT: Please note that I have since identified and solved the problem, details in the post below. It was ABSOLUTELY NOT related to AX3L's ROM. It was an issue which could occur under any ROM. It turned out to be about which programs have been associated with which file types and how Windows Media Player handles things.

SOLVED! - can't play mms:// streams with wm6 in wmp
I have solved my issue with streaming Microsoft MMS:// format files. Happily, it was not a problem with my ROM version.
My first clue came from this post which I found elsewhere.
This suggested that no matter what changes are made to the registry, Windows Media player will still attempt to handle certain types of streaming files - particularly Microsoft MMS:// streams and .asx and .asf media streams.
(Incidentally, to my knowledge, the 3GP streams used by sites like You Tube Mobile do not cause any conflict and do not overlap with this specific Windows Media Player issue).
I discovered that my installation of Coreplayer and TCPMP and very likely my attempts to set them to handle certain files types (like MMS:// streams) had resulted in Windows Media Player mishandling certain file types. In particularly, instead of just directly streaming the MMS:// files it was first downloading a file ending with the extension .WMWebASX or .WBWebASF and then attempting to open that file. This resulted in an apparent codec error.
How I finally fixed it.
First, for all files that can be handled by Windows Media Player, I turned off any conflicting file associations in Coreplayer and TCPMP. Then using the registry editor Total Commander, I went through the HKCU area of the registry and deleted ALL entries named TCPMP.bak... there were LOTS. Fortunately, Total Commander has a find command!
Then I also went through all the entries in the HKCU section of the registry for streaming files that can be handled by Windows Media Player including WMWebASX, WBWebASF, asf, asx (and a quite few others) and made sure they all pointed to \Windows|wmplayer.exe. (Many had gotten set to point to TCPMP's player.exe on my device and this had to be changed).
Finally, in Wiindows Media Player's Network options I set it to use Port 500 for UDP (the best choice of available port may depend on your wireless carrier - try port 80 if all else fails). Without changing this, I got sound but no picture.
BTW in regard to the OP, I belive that DNS and/or firewall issues, probably at the wireless carrier's end can also be a problem for some people. For instance, if your browser requests a file on one port then the file is delivered on a different port the carrier firewall may shut it out as if it were an unsolicited packet. It may also be also worth trying different DNS servers e,g, the OpenDNS servers, or if you use them already and have probs, try going back to your carrier's DNS servers. Definitely it will also be likely be necessary to bypass any proxy server such as ATT's MEdia Net for example.
Hope this info is useful to others.

Absolutely - unless you manage to mess things up like I did! ! I use AX3L's ROM myself. Just love the BIG storage! I admit that I did wonder if it was a ROM issue for a bit, but as I explained it turned out NOT to be ROM related AT ALL. This problem could occur on any ROM. It is about which programs have been associated with which file types.,
It was almost certainly caused by the way I had set the preferences in TCPMP (which I use to play back Flash FLV files). I do have Coreplayer installed too, but the misconfgured registry settings all came from TCPMP.
Sorry for the overlength post above, its probalby so long it might be confusing! I just thought that as quite a few people do use additional Media players it may come up that someone may have a similar prob, so I wanted the solution to be available if they searched the board. I hope my experience might save them time in figuring it out.
Sorry if I left any impression this iis in any way a problem with AX3L's great work. That is absolutely NOT the case in any way. Hope that sets the record straight

Do you know how to play an .mp3 stream in WMP?

Codecs
In some roms when there´s lack of some codecs if you put these ones in the windows folder it starts working,I have some more but I believe this is enough,plus maybe some of your roms come already with those codecs.
Let me know if it worked for you guys.

Friend, you just need to put the symbles /* at the last part of your address. You will aquire your webcam vedio. Although I know the trick, I can't help myself. Since I flashed Karmba's rom, I can never success to connect to my webcam. I just can watch my webcam vedio through wifi or when it's syn to my PC.

What folder should I copy the files to after I unzip? I am having the same problem as the OP.
Thanks.

Generic WM6 Released by HTC

It's in the e-club section so you need to sign up.
I'm downloading now, i'll post feedback later today.
Gus

RE:
Cheers to HTC for finally releasing the code. Downside: No Office Mobile. Here's the link I found in these forums for the Office Mobile cab:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31706137/Office.WM6.zip

Trouble downloading?
Anyone else having trouble downloading? I signed into my e-club account, clicked on the phone software upgrade link, selected WWE and HTC Europe download site, then clicked the download button. After a few seconds, I got the usual Windows download dialog, I clicked save, selected a directory as usual, and then OK. So far it's still sitting there at 0% progress.
I downloaded the Office package from the previous thread in this link (of course, from a different site), so I know my network is working OK.
So is anyone else experiencing this? I've been patient up to today, and now chomping at the bit to get this downloaded and installed on my S620.
Thanks,
Gary

Please can someone post in this thread what are the relevant changes in wm6 for smartphone?

correct me if im wrong .. I believe this is the latest windows live v10.6.33.0600, click on my link below my signature to get the latest version. theres a lot of other stuff as well.

There are 2 newer versions then the one provided in the link above, but they do not include Live Messenger. They are 10.6.38 and a 10.6.40. If you need Live Messenger then the 10.6.34.800 is the newest version.
Here is the official link off of Microsofts website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
I also learned something new which is probably the cause of all my recent WM Live problems on 6.1 ROMS. On 6.0 ROMS I could install it on the storage card, but on 6.1 ROMS it was completely jacking up my phone.
Q: Can I install this product on a Storage Card?
A: No, Windows Live can currently only be installed to your device’s internal storage. Storage cards are not supported for this application as it extends several Windows Mobile features.

and the beta version use to aloow you to send a nudge from your device
not anymore bastards! loved that feature!

I have tried everything but I can't get messenger working the way it's supposed to.
I have the Verizon branded HTC Touch Pro, which doesn't ship with wlm. I've been able to get the one of MS's site (with no wlm) and it works fine. But no wlm. So I tried the "fixed" cab install, which installs and the program shows in the list of apps. But when I click it it doesn't do anything. The interface also gets screwy and theirs like artifact-lagging from menus. The first time I got it running, it showed up on the today screen and loaded my live ID, but just wasn't responding to my input. I unistalled and have tried it again but now the button for the app doesn't even do anything. Click, no response.
Help!
this is not a custom ROM, it's the stock wm6.1 pro for a "ralph".

Thanks a lot. I wasn't able to sign-in and this made it work. Cheers.

wm6.5
does anyone have a tested version that works with 6.5

Im gettin a weird message by setting up windows messenger.
I installed it, and tried to run messenger, then this message appears:
"The Windows live id service requires a certificate, but yours isnt working. you can probably fix this by updating the time and date in your device´settings. Afer you do that, try connecting again."
I tried change date and time, but it wont work.
Anyone an idea?

Noob needs some help: Where is the WM 6.1 Rom file?

Read the sticky's and Kavana's WM 6.1 rom download link was empty. The link in the pdf doesn't work. Please point me to a working link so I can update my HTC s620 to Windows Media 6.1.
Thanks a lot.

Try here

Thanks. I saw that earlier but was a little confused when the kavana "msn" links didn't work. Does the Rom with "Opera" support a flash player or swf files through it's browser?
Does the opera version also include the IE browser?
My apologies for asking dumb questions, but I'm new to the HTC and windows mobile products.
I ordered an HTC phone yesterday from a vendor and wanted to get it ready for some updates.

IE is in all the roms. and i dont believe you can stream through opera..you need to use a media application. with skyfire you can stream within the browser...but thats an invite only thing
and since you ordered the phone yesterday, i assume you started reading this forum today....here is a hint, READ ALL OF THE STICKY'S

1- Misleading on Opera lol
2- you mean, doesnt the phone also have IE on it? Yes
You can also get most/all Roms in my media fire account. Here

Appreciate the help and have experience with other smart phones. Should have gone windows mobile a long time ago. This seems to be the "only" OS that supports flash. There is no other smartphone OS out there offering a flash player. The iphone doesn't offer it, the blackberry doesn't have it and many others cannot run swf files.
Unfortunately, the majority of web based multimedia depends on adobe's flash player.
Look forward to helping others as soon as some of the basics are learned.
Thanks,

Actually, Windows Mobile isn't the only OS that supports flash, Symbian OS also has support, I think it actually has more support lol.
Adobe Flash Player Lite 3 comes bundles with some phones such as some versions of the N95 if I remember correctly.
But since this is a WM forum, Symbian sucks
