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,

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???
Hello,
Ik was wondering if it was possible to config the buttons on my RC e100 remote controller? Then i hope its possible to use the controller also for other audio programs, because of the equalizer problem that a lot of people have.
I hope someone can help me
Greetings
I need this also really bad

I would love to use the HTC RC E100 with S2P.
Ditto!
In another thread someone said that PocketPlayer recognizes all of the buttons of this remote control.
So I guess other third party players like CorePlayer first have to include support for this remote control.
There's nothing HTC can do.
Unbelievable how much time goes by and nothing happens, but that's so typical for CoreCodec.

I would love to use the HTC RC E100 with S2P too.
rc-e100 absolutely doesnt work with my hermes ;-(
Can anyone on this forum have solution for this problem??????
Has anyone a solution? I want to use it with MortPlayer...
It is not supposed to work with BlueSoleil but with Broadcom stack
RC E100 is on cable, not bluetooth
I would also love to use the remote with MortPlayer.
On my touch Diamond, I tried HTC Audio Manager, which is unfortunately not VGA compatible. The remote works with it. Maybe that's a clue

There is a VGA compatible HTC Audio Manager out there, you can get it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/53159533/HTC.Audio.Manager.cab.html
Think it's a bit strange that no one has built an app yet to interpredate the signals sent from the headset, it cannot be impossible... Big minus to HTC for not releasing an API for this.
RC w100 can't control Sense 2.5 player
There hjave been over a year and no one have figure out how to make the remote control other players. The only oines it controls are:
WMP
Pocket player with all the plugins (Older manila)
HTC Manila Player.
It stopped working on latest Manila releases,
Im using Sense 2.5 Enrgy ROM and can't control the player yet.
Any clues????
Hi there... sorry if this thread is not in the correct place ( 1-rst time on xda )
I have one anoing problem with my BT controller (Jabrra BT3030).
Is there any way to change ( in the registry maybe ) that this BT device would controlling another music app. than WMplayer ? Core maybe ...or something else...
Thx for time ...
Sorry 4 poor english
Anyone help plz
maybe some directions... ?
i have the same question... i hate WMplayer
nobody knows...?
You can use Conduits Pocket Player because it has plugins that intersept bluetooth commands before they reach WMPlayer, read the software documentation http://www.conduits.com/assets/PP410/PocketPlayerDocumentation.pdf
Works great with my Htc Touch HD and Motorola S9.
Have fun
That's really works ! Thx mate
Solution found, thread closed
Hi there,
I´m not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this since this is my first post on this board.
Ok, so here is my problem:
I - proudly - own a HTC Desire and used to listen to the HTC music-player while using google maps navigation. On Android 2.1 it worked like a charm.
But then I updated to FroYo and since then it won´t run simultanously anymore.
What happens is the following:
I launch the music player
I launch the navigation app
When the first voice-output starts it mutes (or quits) the music player and won´t resume/reopen it automatically again
When I use a different music player it all work, again.
Also, when I use another navigation application (e.g. Navigon) the player keeps on working (but doesn´t mute...but I guess this is a Navigon problem).
A week ago I decided to root my Desire. For that I downgraded it to 2.1, again and used the ROM from ieftm. Unfortunately, I still do have this problem.
You may now ask "Why not use one of the other music players?".
The answer is: I "need" three points to be fullfiled by the music player:
Look nice (or at least not that crappy; for example...I don´t like the Astro player)
A working lockscreen-widget (this would eliminate the ³-player and DoubleTwist)
It should be possible to create a playlist-shortcut on the homescreen to be opened directly by this player
And...from all the players I tried the HTC player is the only one that has all this.
Anyway, I hope you guys can help me with my problem and answer some of these questions:
Has anybody an idea on how I could get maps/navigation and the music player working together again?
Anybody knows a music player that fullfilles all the points from above?
Anybody knows how I can set another music player to be opened with the homescreen-playlist-shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Coreplayer and the buttons on the headset activates HTC Sense player.
On my Raphael I had similar problems, when using the "Play button" on the headset Sense player started all though Coreplayer was running.
Some genious created a cab that solved this on the Raphael (originally it might even have been developed for Rhodium...)
The same cab I used on the Raphael doesnt have the desired effect on the Rhodium.
The name of the cab is: "T-Back 6.5 BT Driver.cab"
Any ideas on how to get the BT stereo headset buttons to interact with Core player?
I'm running a stock 6.5 rom.
That's normally because the headset interacts with the default media player. See this thread for information on changing that.

Thanks for your input... But associating mp3 files with coreplayer didn't help...
