Develop Bugs

Two months ... No new Base ROM Build

It is almost 2 months since Kavana sent us 080408. While Rick has given us many refreshes of content since, we are still on the same build of the WM 6.1 OS.
Judging from the frequency of updates for various PPCs and PPC Phones, and the lack of them for Smartphones such as the S620, it must be very difficult to get your hands on a Smartphone ROM.
Is there any likelihood of an update soon ?

for me, i'd like to see better support of bluetooth via activesync. Since the 6.1 upgrade i've not been able to connect via activesync via bluetooth. And truse me, i've done everything i can think of to get this to work. Tried both toshiba and bluesoleil stack with no luck.

Lets me guess, are you using a Dell laptop? I managed to make it work using toshiba stack. The steps are not like the ones floating around on the internet. Let me know if you are interested.

no, im not using a dell laptop, just a bluetooth dongle that uses the toshiba BT stack.... of yes! of course! i'd like these steps. Just pm me or aim me (or yahoo) as not to flood this thread with instructions for this, since its not related to the reason for this thread.

I've got a dongle that I think uses the MS stack. I can sync via bluetooth in Vista 64 no problemo.

I'd like to see the auto-complete in the To: field in messaging. This is supposed to be a feature of WM 6.1. I had it on my Moto Q9m running WM 6.0 and it is a big time saver.

Kavana is just in a deep sleep thats all lol.

I've tried several ROMs and i just can't imagine how to improve on Kavanas ROM. Everything just works. Great Job.

Have you installed programs such as: TCPMP, CorePlayer, or the HTC Streaming Media Player? Each of these will play streaming vids (such as YouTube). As a matter of fact, Technology has posted several codecs in one of his threads which accompanies the TCPMP player. Last night, I watched a video on YouTube (via Excalibur) which was an uncanny resemblance to the quality on my PC! Crystal clear.

I see that you have mastered my picture pixel crystall clear video resoluton quality technology via the codecs pak for the 320X240 Screen(LCD Blue-ray HD)(LOL). You are the man, I know it works like a charm, now tell the other 50,000,000 people that, glad it works for you....!

Excalibur Screen 320X240 LCD QVEGA
With the Excalibur screen the video enhancement is unlimited with the LCD structure, thats why you are getting the super enhance video resolution quality, it accepts a digital signal better than a lot more expense device like the "Tilt"! Now to prove my point go to http://mobile.ardcorp.tv, this company broadcast in a high digital video quality for mobile devices (They Even Call It HDTV). This company offer the highest video resolution resolution quality for the Excalibur and several other devices. That's why I will never ever argue with people that will say, this is the highest video resolution you get for the Excalibur 320X240 screen, not true, that is a false statement as you can see for yourself...............!

Sorry for the delay, Solja! Tech will definitely point you in the right direction as to what to download from his threads. I've personally found TCPMP to be the best grade of quality when viewing streaming video (with the codecs in the thread I mentioned earlier). I didn't think it was possible for video to be as clear (and uninterrupted) on the Excalibur. I was using EDGE, mind you! lol Imagine what kind of quality a Wi-Fi connection would provide!

Best Media Manager?

What is the best media manager out there for syncing music and podcasts onto the Dash?
When I Activesync to a Vista box using Bluetooth, the Dash does not show up as a device in Windows Media Player. I can however cruise the file system on my Dash via Windows Explorer and that is how i get content onto the Dash, but it would be better to have an organizer to keep music and podcasts propoerly organized.
I'm running Kavana WM6.1

Try POCKET PLAYER v3.7
Supposedly it is able to sync and do what you want it to do.
One thing I can say for it, it is THE best media player I have used on the smart phone by far.
It has PODCASTS, INTERNET RADIO, WMV support for starters and tons of features.
Try it out!

Much difference between 3.6 and 3.7?

I installed Pocket Player 3.7. It does look a nice player than WMP.
I'm still looking for something that sits on my PC to manage my music that interfaces nicely with something like Pocket Player. i.e. like iTunes where I can download the podcasts and then sync them over to the Dash.
Maybe I resign myself to a copy and paste using File Explorer.

Going to try Media Monkey myself, even though i tend to use memory card & card reader as it's fast on transfer.
You see on gixxum's post's it has United States California?

haha. why would you think im british? they are the only people that tend to be as big or a bigger prick than me?
if you look at some of my posts, you will see i actually do help people. im only "me" when someone gets lazy and expects others to do the work. take the post i replied to from you:
"I'm still looking for something that sits on my PC to manage my music that interfaces nicely with something like Pocket Player. i.e. like iTunes where I can download the podcasts and then sync them over to the Dash.

see, here is my issue. i did a google search expecting to see nothing. one would assume thats like the first thing you would do...well to my surprise, there are quite a few. and your closing line sealed the deal for me "Maybe I resign myself to a copy and paste using File Explorer"...you gave up and decided "there is nothing that manages my media how i want it to".
so my approach is more to prevent you from being lazy next time, not to cut you down. but next time you have a question you might think "i better cover all my bases BEFORE i post a new thread so i can avoid that PRICK gix"

ha ha i kno right its right there california.. why u ask if hes british anyways? thats weird

Maybe he's coming out of the closet too

I ask because I got whacked over the head by the flying sarcasm.
I did a search using that Google thing and found MediaMonkey, Winamp, etc. i just wondered (out loud) if there was anything I'd missed that the folks here might have found.
MediaMonkey seems to do good job syncing everything to the storage card via usb. I've given up on the bluetooth sync. i cannot get WMP or Media Monkey to see my device over bluetooth.
Cheers!

audio balance

i would like to know if there is a programme to adjust the audio balance on the touch hd because i have hearing problems ( -50%) on the left side . thanks

yes, thats true:-O I looked now to pocket player, core player and Nitrogen, and no program is able to do that... that's really strange... perhaps ask that in the Nitrogen forum, he develops this program and it's extremely good!! so, perhaps he could implement this useful thing... don't loose hope!! many greets, cad^^

Actually pocket player has audio balance and it's working, but it's well hidden. Go to options, DSP. Enable stereo balance, and set stereo separation to 100% and stereo panning to whatever you need.
Unfortunatelly there's a bug and the setting won't get saved so after player's restart you have to do it all over again.

I use alot the radio,mp3player and the videoplayer, none of them has a possibility to change left or right volume.
it would be so easy for me(and i think many others with hearing problems) to have a slider for the sound balance in the same screen where you change the volume

[Q] Music player with 5.1 ch sound?

I love the stock music player that came with my galaxy s because of it's ability to play music in 5.1 ch.
However, I have now flashed the latest MIUI to my sgs but the music player is not able to play music in 5.1 ch, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys know an app that can do this?
Thanks

5.1ch is just a sound effect. You can get it on any player app with basic tweaks to the equalizer settings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?
Sent from my Computer using My Keyboard

With 5.1ch people usually mean that instead of stereo (which is 2 channels, left + right) you have 4 additional channels (Center + Back left + Back Right + LFE or Bass (.1))
Your phone only has one speaker so I'm not sure how you want to achieve this.
The audio output is only capable of sending out stereo as well.
A source file with multi-channel audio is usually in *.vob format (DVD video format) but I know of no player that will show this on Android (except for the Archos Gen8 stock video player).
Audio only files would typically be in *.wav or *.ac3 format but same here, I know of no player that will play these multi-channel streams.
Perhaps I misunderstood your question?

im sure you can find a port for the stock galaxy s player in this forum

The stock galaxy s music player was able to simulate 5.1 ch (when headphones were plugged in) which provided a very nice boost in sound quality. What I'm looking for is either a port of that music player to MIUI or another music player that is able to do the same thing (or some eq settings that does it would also be fine).

I have yet to find one that actually installs on my phone

That option is a load of bull XD.When you listen you only have 2 speakers assuming you are using earplugs which makes 2.0 the highest you can achieve. You shouldn't bother about it... just a stupid tweak that imho makes the sound sound worse...

your comment is a load of bull.. no offence here. But the guy is asking for something dont tell him if its bad or not. He likes it other people like it some dont like it you find it bull. But he doesnt comment you on that does he?

And yes i find the sound nice to. And like other people said there are ways to get this trough EQ settings but so far i havnt got it the same as the stock player one

All I was saying that the option is stupid and it's fake it doesnt provide 5.1ch surround sound and I thought he was thinking that and I was helping his out of his dream (read his 3rd post... this is the case here..). If this is the case my comment is valuable if this isn't well.. he'll just do nothing with the information... It's a win anyway, he has nothing to lose, playing around with a EQ is way better ;/. Install voodoo sound tbh if you want a good musical experience...

The 5.1ch option was not stupid, even though it was fake. It made the sound much clearer and better on all headphones I used.
Will look into voodoo sound, thanks for the tip.

I had 5.1 available when I was using a gingerbread version I got from here. Now I can't seem to find one Pretty sure it was Calkulon or something along those lines. It was way better sound (with headphones) in my opinion, so I'm trying to find a current version that will deliver that "fake" surround

On a side note, I got Jellybean using a vid a watched from QBking77 on youtube, and he references you guys alot.
There are some bugs with Jelly Bean... For instance my mic cuts out when I hold the phone to my face and the screen goes off. Bluetooth headset... NOT A CHANCE lol. On speakerphone i can talk just fine. Headset, works great too. Sometimes I have to pull the battery because the screen dims. But for the most part, it works great.

I guess the reason is because the timeline of the music player is pretty small. I imagine that doing an accurate search with it close to impossible. The timeline if the video player is way larger though.

Indeed. The lack of this basic feature means WP7 is useless for playing audio books, podcasts or language learning CDs - basically anything longer than 60mins. I still have to carry my ipod for this, so 2 devices.

The current Ipod Nano 6G has a 1.5" square screen, and supports full timeline scrubbing. Left and right to move through the timeline, up and down to slow down and speed up; exactly the same as on the iphone and ipod touch. If this tiny device can get it right, surely Microsoft can figure out a way on a 3.5"+ screen?
