After buying a W100 Wired Remote, I found that it only works with Windows Media Player (which in my personal and humil opinion sucks!). Unless you 'lock' all buttons, any press you make will open WMP (even if you're already running any other player),.... and if you lock them, well, you won't even be able to answer a call... and of course, if you're ok with no buttons... what did you want this adapter for????
I asked HTC for support, and how to configure it with other players, etc.. and this is the answer (after asking three times and two weeks after my last 'request')...
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
The "HTC Touch W100 Wired Remote" it's an accessory obviously made by HTC, having mind to serve our products.
Now, our mobile phones are supplied with windows mobile manufactured software and the only media program supplied with it it's the well known "Windows Media Player" in mobile format.
We don't supply other media software on our products and so we don't manufacture accessories for other 3rd party software manufactures.
Should you have any other query, please do not hesitate to call us. Your local number can be found at: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Kind Regards,
Pedro Santos

I don't think that's a reasonable answer so beware if you're thinking of getting one of these!
Prof.
P.S. Oh, I forgot to say, if you install HTC AudioManager, it will control AudioManager (and open AM, and everything instead of WMP). It's just that AudioManager has the same drawbacks as WMP, with 'pseudo-intelligent' media lists, etc.... AND THEY DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THAT IN THEIR ANSWER!!!!
The W100 Wired Remote also works with the FM Radio !!
Any solution?
I use Conduits Pocket Player v3.2 and it has plugin Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter 2.0
This plugin enables Pocket Player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile. Many plugins simply control playback, such as the Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP plugin on WM5 devices. Other times, more features and controls are utilized, such as the plugin for Microsoft Voice Command.
Sound good but not working... maybe next version...
Too Late
I allready got one...
You R Right!
It Sucks!!!!!!!
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
If anyone's sick of it and want to get rid of it, let me know. I think it might be possible to map in wider support and customisation of the functions if I can see how it works.

Hi, i have HTC P3300 PDAViet BB v4.0 and recently buy from expansys W100 Wired Remote.
Automatically works in this rom with Audiomanager without install any specific driver, works perfectly, play button launch audiomanager, all butons are ok, holding next/prev you scan song, single click go to next or prev, if launch radio, buttons only work on radio, if anyone calling me when listen music (mp3) volume fade off and listen ring tone, button mute works ok.
repeat, i dont need install driver in this rom, works directly.

HI I don't have the w100 but I'm interested to buy a 3.5mm adapter so.. do have you try the Htc audio manager (the installable .cab) with the registry patch on this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318459
with the registry patched the Htc audio manager is my default mp3 player.
Yeah I was pretty pissed too. Was eager to try w100+ Conduits Pocket Player and it doesn't work - who uses windows media player anyway? The only hope is some kind of patch from conduits :\
Wish I'd found this topic before I bought one of these. Didn't realize you couldn't use the buttons with CorePlayer, Conduits PocketPlayer, or Resco Radio. If you don't clip that controller onto your collar or something, it eventually weighs on the headphones and pulls them out of your ears. Once clipped on, you really look like a dork
Seemed like a good idea, just not well implemented. As-is, it's a waste of money...
Guys heads up!!! Things have MOVED forwards!!
I just tried Pocket Player 4.0. I think it's the most recent version. All the buttons are working without any problem. So, in the end, there is a cool player supporting the hot 7-buttons handsfree ;-) And it's working on a HTC Diamond. So, I guess, we can mark this topic as *SOLVED* ;-)
So - have fun !!! AND BUY THE HANDSFREE!!! It is COOOOOL !!!

Hi Im trying the pocket player 4 but my w100 dont work (still open WMP) how do you make it work? do you install any plug in?
Hi, I'm also keen to find out a little about the ROM and software you're running... My TyTn II (with Pocket Player 4) insists on controlling HTC Audio Manager.
So - firstly, what is on the ROM in terms of music players? WMP obviously, but do you have HTC Audio Manager installed as well? And did you tweak any settings in PP4 or did it just work out of the box?
I'm liking the W100 but not with HTC/Microsoft media players... any advice appreciated!
Any news?
Are you still using your w100?
this is an old thread but still not soved.
Mine was working fine at least with HTC Audio manager with my Fuze, with sevaral different roms as long as I didn´t use second today or something like that, wich will deactivate HTC audio manager and works only with WMP.
Now i have a CDMA/GSM Rhodium from Verizon with the newest Energy ROM wich is great by the was. But I can not make it work with my w100, it is only controling WMP.
Any news???
Is there anyway to get the wmp on the today screen like the tilt does with wm6 ? I dont understand why it doesnt already
Assuming you have HTC Home, HTC Music Plug-in installed, then it is just a matter of selecting the Music Plug-in at the Today setting. The Music plug-in option let you decide which Music player you want to use.

My suggestion is to use HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b. It makes tweaking your settings very easy, including the default media player. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
so i am a total newbie to all of this so here i go...
So on my htc tilt i have the home plugin, but for when i want to open up the music part it brings up Windows Media..
Problem: I want to get the Audio Manager to open up instead of the windows media player..
so is there anyway that i can get it to open up in that portion of the plugin??
if anyone knows how can you help me out please?
thanks
nevermind i got it.. i used kaiser tweak.
close this please
I have tested various WM6 Rom Kitchened trying to connect the TV video provided my 3G operator by using HTC streaming player. Everytime when I connect to about 95%-99% (or something else), the player stop and close. So, I have used a lot of time for searching google and XDA about this problem and found that it did have people share the same problem like me but no solution at all! I did try using the wm6 rom which come with newest verion of HTC streaming player (like Schap's 4.31 rom) or installing the RvBCrS player to the Lite version and no one success.............
So, I get back to myself and finally I get my HTC player connect and play the video by using the official HTC rom. .
It appear to me that the HTC streaming player installed in kitchen Rom and the RvBCrS player is not fully completed. It should have some setting missing.
same problem here. I tried Shadow TE wm6.1 and installed the streaming media (which is v.2.1) by myself, I got the exact problem. Then I tried Pays w.6.1 full version, which comes with streaming media (same v.2.1), it works but my phone doesn't 'wake up' twice for the last 12 hrs..............
So I'm going to flash back Schaps w6.0 4.30
The same problem here. I am never able to play it using the cooked rom (closed at around 99%). It's good to hear that the official one can solve that problem, but I have not tested it yet. However, I don't want to use the official one since it's not fast and stable. So what is the solution for cooked rom??
Solved with Shamanix HTC Streaming Player with Codecs.
Had the same problems, only player working is the extracted one from Shamanix. He really made a great work!
Can be downloaded in this Addons-Pack:

Hello, i was searching a looong time for the perfect music player.
At the moment I am trying the 2d Manila Player.
It is almost perfect, but I have a problem, because actually it is in QVGA.
With a Fix (attached File) I could make it WVGA, but I still have 2 graphical Bugs.
In the Standard Player-View the buttons are too small (see Pic Bug1) and
in the Library-View there is a black box on the top (see Pic Bug2).
Hoping for help.
If you wanna try it too, please be aware that I dont know if it destroys your standard manila 1 or 2.1 music tab, I disabled the tab.
I think deinstalling the app should fix it, if it crashes.
Please dont wonder why I use the TouchFlo2d Player, although I have Manila 2.1...
