HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
RC W100 Remote Controller
RC E100 Remote Controller
[FONT="]http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html
************************
later:
[/FONT] It soft resets after the update and takes up about 0.2-0.3 mb main memory. The update does show up in the add/remove programs list. Didn’t know I had a problem with my audio drivers…
Now Items like Y- Cabel are really working, without the internal speaker.
could it be the same as driver shipped with the W100 remote?
I'm going to try it. Hoping it *might* fix my problem described in my review of the remote:
http://www.expansys.com/review.aspx?i=145150
otherwise, don't bother.
I cant install this driver on Tinity WM6
Any idea?
it certainly looks like you can... http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html. however, when i try to install it, my phone says the driver already exits...
Saw it on the HTC and have it downloaded just in case it disappears of the site because...
Where is the SD card fix gone ? (already have it but seems to be off the site/ well hidden)
This is the Wired Remote Control Driver
Just installed, it is indeed the driver that came with the W100 remote. BUT!!!
This fixes the stupid problem that the remote cannot be used/detected when the phone goes to power off! So if you don't have the W100 remote, you have no need for this really, the stock headset works just fine. Great, I don't need to refund my headset!

That's what my phone says too.
Any idea how to fix it?
Does the HTC W100 Remote work with TCPMP?
I have followed Humps and installed the TCPMP Player and it seems quite good, however when I press start on the remote, the system fires up Windows media and then I need to go into the library to get my moosic to play. Is there a way to map the remote to access TCPMP and start the music straight away?
I like the remote it means that the phone is in my jacket and when I get bored with a tune then just forward without having to unlock the device and scrabble with buttons..............
E100
Hi,
Is there someone wich know what is the RC E100 remote controller ?
If you mean; what is the HTC RC W100 remote control? then have a look at the HTC website. It is a wired remote control that you plug your normal 3.5mm headphone jack into and conrol the media player while the Orbit/Artemis/P3300 is in your pocket or bag.
It's this control here
...only for WMPLAYER
...went all the way, using WMPLAYER to be able to use BT Headphones and hating it!!! (why can't it have a simple 'file list' instead of all the lbrary stuff which you can't manage thru your WM5!)
With a 'Y adaptor' I went back to MortPlayer and love it!!!
And now I receive my w100 and..... it only works with WMPLAYER again (ok, unless you want to ignore the controls alltogether )
Any 'control' key you press opens a wmplayer (even if MortPlayer is already running). There must be a 'link' somewhere between the buttons and the function they perform.... just that I can't find it.
Someone have any idea?? (.......MORT, if you read this, save me from WMPLAYER please

Hi Fucawi, I have not found a way to get it going with TCPMP, not even with the audio driver update. The buttons on the remote does not appear to be a regular AppButton so TCPMP cannot assign functions against it. I've been trolling through registry and stuff and couldn't find any clues.
May be if we generate enough noises, HTC will release another audio driver update so we can assign functions to the buttons or let apps use those buttons.
Techies and software peeps - help!
Humps, I thought that this forum would be the best place to get this done as people on here have a wealth of knowledge about the registry et al. HTC would not issue another driver for a couple of wingers like you and I, or even if 20 people on this forum wanted it. It doesn't make commercial sense....
There has to be a way to change the default settings to map to TCPMP or Mort or PocketMusic as the remote calls up the WMPlayer application with a button press. Surely one of our esteemed moderators and long suffering techie fiddlers knows their way around these devices and can either give us direction or instructions on how to do this.
Let's have a first 'peep' at the drivers....
One of the files included is: HTCWMPPlug.dll
Literally, from the info on the file
'HTC WMP Plugin for Control WMP Commands'
and I understand WMP stands for 'Windows Media Player'
Seems like it's something more than just a registry entry
... just exploring ...

I think you're right. TCPMP can detect hardware buttons on most devices, be it an iPAQ or HTC phone. Those buttons are implemented as AppButtons (correct me here please) which programmes can access directly. Since the buttons on the remote are software driven, the only way other apps can use it is if the driver somehow creates virtual logical buttons that maps to the remote. Which is also why I doubt anyone here will be able to do much. The hardware is great, shame about the driver.
AE BUTTON PLUS has an option to define virtual buttons
I don't have a clue if that would work for what you want, but may be worth a go ?

Just tried, doesn't work. Like TCPMP, it can't detect the buttons. I don't programme WinCE devices, but in programming sense, think the OS gives you access to a list of buttons. E.g. calling System.getButtons() but those buttons on the remote don't appear in that method call and cannot be used by applications typically designed for the traditional buttons. Only HTC's driver can provide access.
I have to say, WMP is pretty useless as a player software. Limiting the playback buttons to it is like crippling your device to crap software. I couoldn't understand what HTC was thinking.
I'm also disappointed not to have seen this post before buying th W100 ...
I want to use it with PocketMusic , eh HTC ! wake up !!!
Hello Everyone!!! Was reading the forum for long time, the best forum out there, so well done all.
This is my first thread
I would like to know if there is an app where I can put my movies (DVD) library on my phone (the Great HTC TOUCH HD). Something like Delicious Library or mediaman (with a borrowed option)
That will be nice with a touch screen interface and download the movies data from imdb or amazon.
if not is there anyone interested in writing one???
The only movie database i know for PPC is "Leonard Maltin Movie Guide" where you can mark movies as borrowed. But as far as I know you can`t update the database as it is built in.
I am looking for a database myself a very long time.
In the meantime I have entered my DVD´s in List Pro (Hard work for about 1500 DVD`s)
dvdprofiler have all the functions you are looking for
http://www.invelos.com/dvdpro/Info.aspx
http://www.invelos.com/dvdpromobile/Info.aspx
my preferred is:
http://www.invelos.com/
Thanks guys, I will try the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide and the DVDProfiler and let you know ....
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide doesn't work at all on the HTC Touch HD, whereas the DVDProfiler Works fine, but it doesn't display properly, the bottom of the screen is empty...
Anyone have an alternative??? or a solution to fix this issue??
Mmm, Movieguide works fine with WVGA, on my HD at least. Version 85 of 2008. Full screen! So?
Is there any app or any way that I can use to control the volume on my PC by using my Touch HD (for example via WiFi or Bluetooth)?
I often like to watch movies on my PC while laying in bed, and although I can use my wireless keyboard to control the volume, the distance is sometimes a problem. It would be easier and more comfortable to simply have my HD to control the volume. It would be nice to control pause and play as well, but even just the volume would be great.
GRemote will do that and more over wifi Brilliant app.

OMG, Surgent - thanks a lot!!!!! That's awesome!! I almost didn't bother starting this thread because I thought for sure there would be nothing like that out there. Ha-ha - I'm glad I asked the question. I'm checking it out and it works perfectly! You're right, it does media player control and a whole lot more too (via wifi or bluetooth). That means I can use it at home with wifi or on the go with bluetooth.
BTW - Welcome to the forum!!
And if anyone is interested in this app, here is the link.
See, this is why I love this site & community. You won't get what you want unless you ask, and you never know, it may already exist!! Excellent!!
Solution found, thread closed
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've gotten great feedback from XDA members on Wave Control, so I'd like to see what you all think of this one.
Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research
More Info Here
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Links:
Free Version
Pro Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:
-Needs Froyo or Above (Android version 2.2+)
-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
Coming Soon:
Timeout period Adjustment
Volume control of mic feed during timeout
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy SIII

This is a great idea but can you get the phones mic to work instead for people without mics on there headset?

It will use whatever the available mic is. If there's only the one on the phone it'll use that one. If there's one of the headset then it'll use that one instead.
I have on todo list to put the option to force use of the phone's mic even if there's one on the headset.
Awesome in tat case ill download it now and have a go
Great idea! Thank you so much!

I assume my headset is the A2DP kind, it's a stereo bluetooth headset. I haven't had much luck with any application being able to use my bluetooth mic. I've tried other headsets but they were all stereo bluetooth. I'm using a nexus 7. Is this a planned upcoming feature? Is there a underlying reason why so few apps (any?) seem to support this?

I'm actually getting mixed feedback. Apparently it does work on some phone/headset combos. The way it behaves seems more like a bug in Android than an issue with headsets. I've heard Bluetooth is one area phone manufacturers sometimes tweak so maybe that's what's going on here. I need to get more data to really be sure.
I'd say give it a shot and see if it does work. Maybe Jelly Bean handle BT better.

Ok thanks. Hmm, I just installed it but didn't realize it's a pro feature. Not that I wouldn't buy it, but I wanted to use it with a stereo bluetooth headset, and going by so far with my experience with bluetooth recording in general with jellybean (as in nothing working so far with 4 different headsets) so I suspect it probably wouldn't have worked.
I suspect as well it's an android issue.
New Angle
So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound
Tasker!
New Tasker Support
V2.20 has just been released
-New: Profiles: Save all settings like Target Media Player and trigger level
-Tasker Plugin: Change Profiles, Start and Stop control (Find it in Tasker's Plugin section)
-Bug Fixes and UI Tweaks
Let me know what you guys think
Great work! Really good thinking mate
I spend 80% time in my office on music and this would definitely help :good:
Just installed it. will test for couple of days and go for pro version, Keep on innovating
October Experiment
Been taking a break from development... though not really by choice.
From my dev blog:
I just got home after a 10 day stay in the hospital for an unexpected (but luckily) minor surgery. Medicine and disease have unsurprisingly been on my mind.
I want to contribute to fields that really help people. But, I’m no doctor or medical researcher. I’m an app developer making apps that I hope people find useful but are hardly life changing. So, how to reconcile these things?
To fill the days during my hospital stay, I began to read Walter Isaacson’s excellent Ben Franklin Biography. (Recommended from here) In it, I was inspired by Franklin’s effort to tie private enterprise with the public good. Creating a win/win situation where both benefited.
And so, the idea was born to give away half of the proceeds from my app sales. This month being Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a perfect time to start. For the month of October, 50% of my earnings from the sales of my apps (including in app purchases) will be donated to breast cancer research.
I hope this will start a trend and other developers will do similar offers.
This is an experiment for this month. If it proves successful and I can still afford to eat, then next month can feature a different cause to support.
I’m excited to finally be able to give back more and make app development have a meaningful impact. This truly gives me real motivation to keep innovating and working hard.
Ideas and comments are most welcome,
Mark
Can you guys help me spread the word about this? Maybe we can change the economics of app development and charity.

I think thanks Surdu_Petru it will be rooted soon, too.
Has anyone installed this already?
Does it kill your tablet?
no on 3 tablets
I just installed this coming from 4.0.7 and it has worked fine.
I tried to use the built in updater but it did not show the update, so I downloaded the file and flashed.
Nothing major so far.. early days but my device is NOT bootlooping

For those who updated, do you see the excessive RAM usage as reported by 4.0.24 users?
please, honestly. is there some improvement on the touchscreen dead after long standby and of touchscreen in general? thank you

How much free memory would you call OK ??
I've got a 1GB device and in 4.0.7 had >500MB free after boot, but with 4.0.24 it's only about 300MB. I've heard of people with 512MB devices who only have 35MB left after a fresh start.
From what I read, Android 4.0.4 should be using more memory than 4.0.3 ... but it seems a lot, 200MB more RAM usage.
Hi, I installed no problem.
by cons, regarding memory management there is a concern as for 4.0.24.
in the aplication menu program displays the current 0.00 using memory, I think again is good to have a return on 4.0.7, if not find a system to manage memory better knowing that v6 Supercharger is lag in games. Here is my return
Memory left from my 1gb = 300mb so yes, there appears to be a memory problem in latest build.
TrOjAn
Definitely using more memory now but it seems like it's put to good use, the tablet is wicked fast now! After the initial boot it took some time to find its feet which was most noticeable switching between home and panel screens but now it's been on a while and I've started most of my regular apps the difference is quite apparent. Starting up and switching apps has had a major makeover and is stunningly fast. As specified Wifi is now also connecting consistently now, tho it too early to say anything definitively. As of now, it seems absolutely worthwhile to upgrade.
oh my !
Have anyone who has had a replacement updated yet ...and if so ......how was it ??:good:
The sound volume is still useless would have been worth the upgrade to fix that!!!
TrOjAn
I switched from Clean_Slim&Fast_V01 to that version to see if the touchscreen issues are solved.
Had some problems with the aos-file, so in the end I had to format the disk - but it might be I just didn't get how to do it properly.
After installing everything seems okay. Touchscreen isn't that sensitive anymore (which is GOOD) but I'll wait some days of testing before being too cheerful.
If I press a little bit harder on the touchscreen, still there are those ghost fingers. But if I don't touch too hard, everything is fine (and better than before).
More results after a weekend of testing...
Just updated, everything seems to be a lot faster ......but best of all it works:good:

Hey everybody.
New at the forum, but i want to say that, untill now (6 hours in testing) i find the new 4.0.25 update quite solid. Had have touchscreenn probs, which were the most annoying among bugs from this tablet that i have experienced with former official releases, but have to say that for instance fake touche and phantom touch problems seems to be out of the way. This text for instance is smoothly typed in, and for testing, the registration on xda and using the app for android proves to be example of smooth inputting via the onscreen keyboard. Untill now i've experienced alot of trouble with entering text, auto-hitting backspace and enter key at random. Now it seems stable without calibrations for 6 hours. Keeping u posted
