Hello, I have a 8525, and currently running Black 2.0. On all the ROMs WM6, I have an issue that whenever I try to play mp3 or videos through windows media player or even CorePlayer, they play for about 3-5 seconds then it stops. I didnt have this issue that i can recall when running WM5.
I am not even concerned about doing this through my BT headset yet, just simply trying to play media. This issue happens if the media is on the device or the storage card. I have searched the forums, and still have not found anything.
Any ideas?

Cant say ive ran into this issue AT ALL, what apps do you have running/installed??
(Could you update your sig and profile with your devices details and your country/provider?? helps ALOT)
Even when I do a fresh install of a new ROM, it does not matter. For example, I just flashed the new 'dutty' WM6 build (I did the premium version) and still no different. Even if I use the PocketPlayer Trial which is included in the ROM or WM Player. Does not matter if MP3 or AAC files. It is almost like I get a buffer overload or something?
Any ideas would be helpful....thanks in advance.
Have you tried flashing WM5 again and seeing what happens?
not yet, this was my next step if someone does not have any other ideas. I cant believe no one else has this isssue on WM6 and the 8525?? Hopefully, over the next few days, people will make some suggestions. If not, in the next few days, I will try flashing WM5 simply to test. Thanks
I had this problem.

When I first flashed one of the original Kyphur releases, there was a issue as to whether we should set the page pool memory to static 4mb or set it to 0mb and let the applications choose the amount of page pool memory needed. I set mine to 4mb and Media Player would not run. When I changed the registry key to 0mb to allow the applications to set page memory as needed, the problem went away. Not sure if this is your problem, but I see that someone has set memory page pool on this release to 4mb.

You could try deleting the MSMETADATA folder on your storage card/device and then rebuild your library. I always do this when WMP starts playing up and 9/10 it solves the problem.

The internal Storage Folder & Contents Routinely disappears on my PDA2K. The only way to restore the folder is by doing a hard reset. After doing so, the contents of the storage folder re-appear as well.
Any ideas??
to my it happened to me several weeks ago the same thing...
And several times it has already spent...
but still nobody has told me anything
That you program you had installed in the Storage...
regards
Okay, this has happened to me 4 times now in 1 weekend. Does anyone know what is going on here?
I hate this reset, sprite, use for a bit, gone again, etc business.
Driving me nuts.
Someone please help.
Well, when the battery gets lower, it shuts down the SDIO slot. Could that be it?

No we are not talking about the SDIO Memory. I am talking about the internal storage. It just goes away until you hard reset.
Well I figured out what was causing it, but I still don't know why. I installed the newest version of WebIS Mail 2.1, and when retrieving mail, it pauses, after that the storage is gone, then it's good old hard reset and sprite to the rescue. Funny thing is nothing is deleted and after a sprite restore it goes back to normal. But the story continues the next time I try and retrieve mail.
So what I did was store the mail folder on my SDIO (yes it is brutaly slow), and now it works fine.
Any thoughts?
Registry
Can you please take a look at your registry?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Loader]
Does it read : \Release\\Storage\Windows ?
If it does not maybe you would like to try importing the attached key.
Just a note here, that should read,
Does it read : \Release\\Storage\Windows\ ?
and not
Does it read : \Release\\Storage\Windows ?
I believe.
Sounds to me as if you mail program is over writing your storage, trying to store too much info their. This is normal behavior with this type of storage.

Is there anyway to enable it again??
I'm not thinking when the battery is low, I'm thinking to try and re enable SDIO Slot when Windows cant see the SDIO card.
It's the funniest thing, i often loose the SD card in windows, but somehow when i'm running TomTom 3.7 which is installed on the SD Card, it never fails once it's running even though i'm sometimes not able to access the SD Card with file explorer.
So somehow it's there for TomTom onces it's running, but not for Windows???
Woops. Looks like I can't read. Sorry.
This 'internal storage' disappearing issues also happened on my Xda IIs (HK WWE), now with 1.33 + 1.06, in the past few days as well.... SINCE I installed the following two programs.
1. O2 Plus 1.6 - cracked by someone with his/her signature on the 'About page'
2. Tweak2K2 3.4
I am pretty sure that's the hacked O2 Plus does that. Since I had my splash screens customized on my IIs initially and after installed O2 Plus 1.6, after a soft reset, the 2 splashed will revert to O2 splashes then after some time, 'internal storage' disappeared.
Restored the unit back to the stage that I had version 1.5-hacked, never had a problem since. However, right after uninstalled 1.5 & reinstalled 1.6, same disaster happened again. Tried 3 times in a roll, never missed. Dont think that's the problem with Tweak2K2. Not an expert on manually tweaking the registry, but that's what I found out. I am back to 1.5-hacked & Tweak2K2 3.4. And running without a problem. Did you guys put on the O2 Plus 1.6-hacked or had it on before?
-------------------
Anyway, my first post on this incredible forum, really appreciate on everyone sharing thoughts and knowledge here.
AND to whoever wipe out wiki, 'grow up and remember what your mama taught you!

I'm pretty sure we are both wrong. Because I am running 1.6 right now, and I've been running all day with no problems. I am also running Tweak2K2 3.4. My problem disappeared when I set the WebIS Mail 2.1 mail storage folder to a SDIO card instead of the internal storage.
Someone, please help with this. There is a bigger culprit here, and I don't think Cabrio or I have a proper conclusion.
But I will try uninstalling 1.6, reinstalling Mail 2.1 and try it again. I just hate all this installing and uninstalling bit.
Cheers!
I believe that the problem is due to some applications you might be using.
I am experiencing problems with files disappearing/getting corrupt on mu SD-Card, where I installed all my apps and just found out that at least part of the responsability was a certain program...
Fact is that some tools/apps are not properly tested and have bug's that can mess up the filesystem, plus you should not try to use hacked/cracked programs, as they might contain routines that cause this effects on purpose.
Cheers,

Another approach
I don't think this is a rogue app.
I have had the same problem dating to the first synch I did this morning.
My files won't synch - they seem unable to complete the synch. Active synch won't "stop" in mid process - and when I remove the XDA from the cradle, it won't soft reset.
A hard reset maintains the contents of "My Documents" which is not what it's meant to do.
Having spent several hours on this, I am starting to suspect that the culprit is to do with the time change. The Calender can deal with it, contacts and notes can deal with it.
Files can't. And when it fails, it leaves the XDA unstable.
It's only my working theory. But three iPaq users in the same office had a similar issue and all had to hard reset and restore - which fixed their problem.
Users who don't synch with their local machine (i.e synch with exchange are fine). Users with earlier versions of Pocket PC are fine.
Hope this helps. I was expecting every iPaq user in the world to be up in arms - so maybe I'm wrong. Its where I'm looking now though.
Spoke too soon!
Okay, so I really have to learn to let things ride for a couple of days, before saying "No, mine is fine". Well and the story goes...
I woke up this morning, reached over to my trusty (ya right) XDA, and baam, it was just sitting there. Wouldn't do anything. I sat there, thought for a sec, thought about the last backup I had done, and off to the 2 button holy grail we go (power+reset). Restored, with sprite, uninstalled O2 Plus 1.6, and now I will sit and wait again, till tomorrow morning. I think I might have to buy this sprite backup program, it's saved my a$$ more than 6 times this week alone.
Okay, so back to the drawing board. My Plan is this.
All I need O2 Plus for is the auto msn sign in, everytime GPRS is enabled or a phone call is ended. Is there any way to do this without the O2 plus app?
I will not install O2 Plus again, I will leave everything alone as is and I am going to start uninstalling 1 app at a time.
BTW, PhoneDashboard also screwed up a few days ago, it would just sit there and process like mad. I uninstalled it and everything is fine now.
And though hacked software could have anti-piracy code inside it, but if the app has bugs why would I buy it? Fix the bugs, make it decent enough to be worth the price you are asking then I will gladly buy it. It's the same reason why I wouldn't buy Windows, I only have it cause it came free with my system
ok..got some more info about our problem..this doesnt fix our problem but i just thought you guys should know, after you hard reset theres 4 shortcuts in the startup folder they are for the permanent save contacts, tasts apointments, connections. you get that flash manager error cause the permanent save program cant save it cause that was suppose to be in the Storage Folder..and the Storage Folder wont allow you to add delete or view files in it..i know ther are files in there cause if you look in memory you'll see that its ocuping 40+mb, then after a while or until your xda hangs the Storage Folder disappears
How can we unlock/view this folder? just like the Extended_ROM folder unlocker, i bet when we unlock this folder before it disappears everything will be fixed (YEA RYT!!!). :evil: well at least one problem down..
i forgot to tell you guys after you Hard reset try deleting that 4 permanentsave shortcut..you'll feel your erge to kick the crap out of your IIs a little less. :evil:
yes I always do that. that and the STK.lnk
So I uninstalled O2 Plus 1.6, and been running since yesterday morning with no problems yet. Storage is still there and things are running normally. If this goes on for another day or two, I will be convinced that O2 Plus caused the problem.
what else did you do? mine always disapears after the first soft reset..
It just happened to me for the first time while listening to music with PocketMVP. Storage disappeared and had to do a hard reset. I'm glad I had Sprite and a current backup handy. I also had O2 Plus 1.6 installed just a few hours before this happened. So as you guys suggested, I uninstalled O2 Plus 1.6, removed the 5 permanentsave files and STK.
Before I installed O2 Plus, my PPC was very stable. I only had to reset when my memory was running low since I refuse to buy an SD Card fewer than 1gig. We will see what happens in a few days.
nomadman..could you upload your backup? or maybe could upload a Flush image of your current running OS?(http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151 ) PLEASE help man..cause that myt fix my storage problem.
Hi all I installed TNT 2.o Pro 6mb PP, its worked great, no issues at all. Today I reset my phone because it got stuck, and now it will boot up to where it says "TNT Windows Mobile Professional 6.0" BUt just stay stuck there and not go into windows.
Is there a way to fix this? I haven't done anything new today but record a video which went to my memory card. I have unplugged the batter for a while, taken out memory card, but Im having the same issue. I've had TNT for about 3 months now with no problems. Please don't tell me it bricked itself.
Any help please!!!
Can I do a hard reset? Will that work with the custom ROM?
Try a hard reset, or reflash you're pda.
any chance the movie you recorded ended up on the internal flash, rather than your microSD?
windows mobile doesn't always play nice when available storage nears (or is) zero. i'd vote hard reset, followed by reflash if necessary.
Lol no didn't go to flash, its in the memory card because I transfered it out to my laptop.
Well I re flashed with TNT's newest addon. So I guess its done. But now I can't remember the name of my ui for my today screen. I remembered it looked like the following:
-Big digital time numbers on the top
-had 4 icons under clock going horizontally with your Home, Contact shortcut, --weather, program shortcuts
MP3 plugin
Anyone know what im talking about?

HTC Home plugin - it can have up to six tabs though. If it is not preinstalled search for it somewhere in this forum, there are tons of links to it.
I got my TP2 for a week now and I really love it!
Yesterday I tried to run TomTom 7 (this did run before) and since then I get the message:"Unable to start. Not enough memory is available."
Does this sound familiar to you? What memory is meant here? I suppose the RAM, because I have freed up some space on the device and on the storage card. Further no applications are running. I also tried doing a soft reset before starting TomTom.
Any help would be appreciated!

hi I had this on my diamond and I found if I deleted my maps and then reinstalled them all was well for me.
I hope this helps you
So that would mean if I delete the maps it should be able to start again? (Of course displaying no maps where found) I just tried it and that doesn't work.
First I'm copying the maps back to the device again. Let's see what happens!
No, unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem.
If I have some time left I will uninstall and reinstall.
The TomTom uses less than 20mb of ram. There should be plenty left.
A re-install should fix your problem.

I think 20mb is a bit much. To illustrate, i'm running it right now on my Treo 700Wx and before i launched it i had 18mb free program memory (other apps running as well) and right now since running TomTom 7 it's dowm to 11mb (so about 7mb has been used up by TomTom).
At the most it only ever uses as much as 10mb on my puny 3yr old Treo 700Wx.
i have another problema with tomtom(v.7.915) with tomtom installed can't connect me to my computer using activesync in bluetooth.any idea?
hmmm, anyone tried entering a city or something using the HW keyboard? Mine inserts an extra character after every keypress, even the shift key. Kinda makes it impossible to enter using the KB.
i had this when i had both the tom tom program and map on my storage card
i have tom tom on the device and my map on the storage card root location named with the name of the map for the folder
Western_Europe_1GB_830_2306
and it works fine

Have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522373
It was posted in the Tips and Tricks sticky at the top of this section
This is interessting: I've uninstalled TomTom and reinstalled it. No luck!
However: if I start TomTom from the folder Programmabestanden\Navigator it DOES work!
It only doesn't start if I use the shortcut in the windows\start menu folder.

I seem to remember I had this problem on my Raphael/Touch Pro. Not sure but there may be a HW keyboard fix if you check out the forums over there. Whether or not it will work for the Rhodium/TP2 though is another thing. For me, it's not a problem to use the SW keyboard though.
i just soft reset or use cleanram before using tomtom. The problem is the leaky memory in the original Rhodium ROM. A new cooked ROM will most likely solve this one they become available
Come in and discuss
do u guys have the same problem too?
give us a feedback
i use coreplayer to listen to my music.
but when i open a message and the coreplayer is left to play at the background, after a while the coreplayer exits itself. i takes a few seconds after i went into the messaging. or any other programs.
it seems like coreplayer wont run when other programs are running?
any idea on this guys?
Dude I've had that problem with CorePlayer for the last year and a half. It's the only reason I still use WM Player sometimes.
What happens is the program sees that the amount of memory it needs to operate isn't available and simply shuts down. Opera Mini 4.2 does the same exact thing.
It's annoying and the only solution I know of currently is to get a phone with more internal memory.
hmm.. well.. i have some ort of problem with the wm player.. the songs play just for 12 seconds and it will jump to the next song. every music is da same.. wonder whats the problem..
i didnt have problem last time when i was using boogs rom. i had opera mini with coreplayer running and the messaging program on. its basically 3 programs running at the same time. well tat rom had 30meg of free program memory after a fresh boot.
could be something to do with da rom?
well actually the memory is sufficient to run both messaging and coreplayer. theres still 10 megs left but it still shuts down on it own

I run into that with Media Player sometimes also. I have no freaking clue why.
i have the same problem as well sometimes not with coreplayer but pocket tunes or beejive i think typing in the messaging app uses a lot of memory probably also the reason why half the time im waiting for my hermes when im already done waiting to press send
hmm.. seems like.. everyone should have this problem eh.. shud we bring more people in to discuss?
Of course we should. I believe there is a registry fix so programs do not automatically change. I'll do a search in a little bit and see what I find.
Edit:
Appears someone with our beloved Hermes ran into this late 2008. I don't know if this will work in WM 6.5 but we can try. It's the 3rd (last) post in the link.

well im using 6.1. haha.. hopefully it works. trying out now. thanks!
Good. Please give me a detailed map of where you find it in the registry as I'm lost in the maze.
the registry edit needs HTC task manager on.. but im not using it.. im on wktask eh..
well.. i installed HTC task manager now.
the programs dont kill themselves automatically anymore until it reaches below 9mb or memory.
but i couldnt find the registry key there..
the "EnableAutokill" isnt there.
In Advanced Config --> HTC Task Manager --> Auto Kill
Put it to disabled.
It solved the problem for me for years. But I don't know why in the last 6.5 versions I have the same problem with it disable. Or maybe it's another different problem....
did the advanced config thing..
programs dont close on its own already.. good fix eh.
Hello,
I bought new HTC TOUCH PRO 2 with Sprint. I have 16 GB SC card installed, and I copied around 8GB of music too it.
The experience has been miserable - half the time after 5 to 8 seconds of playing a song, it crashes, and I get the error audiomanager_eng.exe has crashed, etc.
I search this forum and found a thread suggesting to install two cab files to fix the issue - however it wasn't until after I installed them, I saw they were for windows mobile 6.5. So, I tried uninstalling them with the remove programs.
Now, when I try to goto the sprint music player, nothing comes up but a black screen, and then it relaunches touch flo 3d. How can I fix this? Or is there a better music player then the built in touch flo spring music?
I'm pretty disappointed in this device. It can't play simple mp3 files? wtf?
The whole reason I got this phone was for exchange support, and not spending 200 bucks on an IPOD.
im having the same problem and i posted a thread asking about it...wouldnt u know, i didnt get a useful response either...if i find and answer ill definitely let you know
Any ideas for alternative music players? Anyone have original cabs for sprint music player so I can re-install?
I have had this problem before. I reflashed my phone and reset a few times only to find it was a problem with the files on my memory stick. I formatted my card and put music back on and it works great now. Hope this helps
