I accidentally made a downgrade of the Media Player software from the Microsoft's Pocket PC site, does any body knows how to get the Latest Media Player version back? :?
Have you looked in "Remove programs" to see if it can be uninstalled?
That was my first thought, do you think that the drivers will be restored?.
Let me try, thanks
By the way, I tried to send you a SMS from Monterrey, Mexico and it does not work.
Best Regards
Half luck, I did remove the update (downgrade) but the only way to run the player now is by getting it under the windows folder.
The MP3 songs show the windows icon well known by everybody when there is no application associated with them (Windows Media Player).
You can fix this in one of 2 ways.
1. Factory reset your xda. (if this idea really does not appeal then you can try option 2)
2. Manually fix the registry as follows
download and install PHM RegEdit from www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit
make sure that you have a key in the root of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for each of the following :-
.asf
.mp3
.nsc
.wma
.wmp
.wmv
if you dont add them
in each of the keys there should be a string(REG_SZ) value called Default with a value of wmfile
Then check for a key also in the root of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT called wmfile, again if its not there create it.
within the wmfile key there should be 2 values :-
Default which is a string(REG_SZ) with value Windows Media File
EditFlags which is a dword(REG_DWORD) with a decimal value 65536
There needs to also be 2 keys within the wmfile key :-
DefaultIcon
Shell
The DefaultIcon key should contain one value :-
Default which is a string(REG_SZ) with value \Windows\player.exe,-2001
The Shell key contains another key called Open
The Open key contains another key called Command
The Command key contains one value :-
Default which is a string(REG_SZ) with value \Windows\player.exe %1
Once you have checked and restored where necessary all these keys and values you media players original functionallity will be restored.
You may also need to re-create the shortcut in your start menu using copy and paste shortcut.
Good answer on the WMP fix.
By the way, I tried to send you a SMS from Monterrey, Mexico and it does not work.

Thanks Buddy, this is a heck of a task for me, but I am going to try. Just as an escape route, what is the best way to restore the XDA to the factory settings?.
Thanks A LOT.
unscrew the top end of your stylus to reveal a small plastic pin - then push this pin into the tiny hole next to the headphone socket. Its marked with a battery with a line through it.
Then switch it back on and it will be just as when it came out of the box...
Thanks again.

Hello,
I write a little Today Plugin to configure and switch between differents phone modes. The system/phone volume, the ring mode and the SMS, reminders notifs are customizable. The graphics too.
I use it for 2 weeks now but I'd like some people try it and give me their feedback, comments...
You can find all here : PocketZenPhone
These are the future of phone profile control, as far as I can tell. Yours is now the second app to provide this functionality, and more can only be good. The other one is PhoneProfilesSeriously (seriously ), which seems to be full of bugs, judging by the comments made in these forums.
I have some comments about your software. Hope this helps!
- The icons are too big. Maybe we could have the option to choose the profile using smaller icons on the Today screen? I know that we can make our own icons, but even if they are smaller with a transparent surrounding, they will still use the same space on the Today screen.
- I would like more than four definable profiles.
- It would be nice to be able to choose a specific sound to be played for each alert type in each profile (i.e. complete alert- and profile-specific sounds).
Good work!
I can say it's a promising start. However, the setup screen will make THE difference. It's a bit difficult to adjust the configuration using the text file . It reminds me when I was using Borland C++ to develop Win 3.1 applications before the first VB version
I have to do many trials to get the desired result.
Keep going ... Good work!! ... but waiting for the user friendly version
Excellent LITTLE utility.
I had bought "My Phone Profiles", and removed it to use this one. "My phone Profiles" was buggy and made the whole device very slow.
You might want to try the attached settings. Just unzip and copy to:
\Program Files\PocketZenPhone\
I say excellent work (especially with the extra icons)
One thing: Could you find an easier way to setup the profiles, better than to tweak the Phonesettings.txt file
I currently add a window to set the phone modes and I will try to add more settings (notifs ...)
But I have not many time to program this software so it will take a little time to implement new fontions ...
The version 2 is online (download and doc here : http://zendrui.free.Fr )
I add a configuration window and allow to customize the notifications.
I will maybe try to allow to configure the sound for the notification and maybe ring tone but later ...
I don't touch to the icons size for the moment but if it is a big problem I will see :wink:
As always do not hesitate to give me your feedbacks
Thanks
PS : If somenone has made his own icons could it share them ?
Does this software work with WM2002 as well?
I compiled it using the Pocket PC 2003 SDK but I don't use any PPC2003 specific functions.
So this should work under PPC2002 but I cannot try as my XDA is under WM2003...
Let me know if it works ... if not I will try to make a PPC2002 version ...
Being new to this I downloaded the files but they are not the installer type that automaticly install,
They are .001 files what do I do with them?
On a WM2002 machine the programme (v2, 26-2-2004) does not seem to install correctly. After copying and executing the cab file it looks like it installs and it does make the PocketZenPhone directory, but no .exe file can be found. Did I do something wrong?
To Jim
Just copy the file as it is to your device, and run it from there. It will install automatically as a today plugin.
You should have download a .cab file (PocketZenPhone.arm.cab exactly)
Copy it on your pocket (through activeSync for example)
Then on your pocket click on this .cab
It will install automatically the Today plugin.
After that go to Settings->Today->Items and you should see PocketZenphone in the list (it should be checked)
Simply click on ok and when you return to the today page the plug in should appear...
PS for vhan3 : This is not an exe file but a dll file ... so it is normal you don't see it directly on your pocket ... The cab file only creates the registry keys, create the directory and copy the dll on it
No comments at this time but this nice program seems to have lots of promise.
Thanks
Nice work, zendrui
Just 3 comments:
1. After first install, all profiles volumes are set to -1 (Perharps because of an empty regisrty at this time). Should set default values like in V1
2. Uninstall is... arrrggg... impossible until you rename dll and reset. Now, I know... no matter (First tried to uninstall after above bug occured)
3. WORKS GREAT !!! VERY NICE TOOL, VERY USEFULL TOO. THANK YOU !

Hello,
1) Ok I will add default params for each modes
2) To uninstall a today plugin you have to disable it before uninstall it.
So to uninstall PocketZenPhone, simply go to Settings->Today->Items, then uncheck PocketZenphone in the list. After that you can uninstall it without any problem (no reset ...)
3) Thanks feel free to give more comments

Thanks a lot. On my Qtek 2020 your programme works great and just as advertised. It is exactly what I needed so I hope you will be able to compile it for PPC2002 as well. I'll test it for you.
Is there a good Samaritan out there who can explain to me exactly how the program is installed and how does one go about editing the Registry of the TyTN. I have bought Nokia HS-12W BT stereo phones and have added in Sleuth's anti-skip modification. All works well except that I do not get stereo. I must modify the Registry according to Sleuth's working model, and need to do the Registry mods.
Please help!
I am sure there are other newbie's who are also keen to learn new tricks.
Which problem are you exactly having? Just install the cab file, run the program and browse the registry to the place you want to modify, add or delete a key. Tap on the key or screen to do this.
You have to copy the cab file to your Hermes first. When I install cabs, I either send them to myself as email attachments or I use activesync explorer mode. Alternatively, if you can find the site using Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) then you can download the cab directly. Once the cab is on your Hermes, then tap to install.
There is an alternative way to install apps on WM and that's with a windows based installer. If the file isn't a cab, then you'll need to connect up your hermes with its USB cable, wait for activesync to connect then run the installer on your PC. The installer itself will send the cab file over for immediate installation.
If you're familiar with the Windows registry you'll have no problems understanding the WM registry. When you change a value, make sure you power off with the power button to reset & make the change active, otherwise your registry setting might not "stick". Some registry values take effect immediately but I always power cycle after making a change just to be sure.
Installing PHMRegEdit
Hi
Could you please attache the CAB file.
I have load the file and the file is PHMRegEdit.msi
Thanks
I was wondering "which" .cab to copy over for the AT&T Tilt 8925. I did try the Stngr_ARM and it did install. However, I can not expand the registery top folders or export the registery.
Thank you in advance
OK, figured it out.
regedit.Mrln_ARM
did the trick
I have been using S740 for mainly GPS and I was wondering, is there any way to edit the applications that open up at start up?
I have Garmin Mobile XT for this phone so when ever I switch on my phone, I want this application to startup immediately.
I have searched google on how to but it couldn't help me. All I know is that I will have to play a bit with the registry in order to do that. I have Resco explorer with me so anyone can help me out?
Thanks
Application to edit startup : http://www.fewbits.com/startmgr/
You can just use any kind of file explorer and add Garmin's shortcut at the "startup" folder ( \Windows\StartUp )....
The best file explorer I can suggest you is "TotalCommander" : http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm
Good luck
Thanks for the reply, sasiskas. I will try this out tomorrow and post how it performs
Great software, Startup Manager works great. I could add my program easily. Thanks again. But I am facing one problem. The SMS/MMS Window pops up after I switch on my phone. How do I remove that? And also I don't use a sim card for this phone so I also get a notification for SIM Failure at start-up. How do I remove that too?
"tmail.exe" is responsible for your sms/mms window...Try to find it using the program I told you...check everywere(when in the program press "menu"-startup/services/user notification)
As for the sim Failure I don't know...probably you will find it if you look in "menu-user notifications" in the program.
If you can't find anything there...then try downloading SKTools and go to "maintenance-windows startup"
Thanks again, sasiskas. But my ActiveSync says now failed to connect. Due to this I'm unable to install SKTools

what did you edit?
If you go to communication manager-connection there is an option that allows your device to work as a flash drive..do that and then move the sktools.cab file to your device and then from the device execute it.
SOLVED: HOW TO GET JAXBOT's WP7 LOCKSCREEN TO INITIALIZE JUST BY PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON!!!!
GO BELOW FOR CAB FILE
CREDIT:
A_C for S2U2
Jaxbot for Wp7 Lockscreen
vijay555 for VJBrisk
STEP 1. download and install the program mentioned in POST#7 (VJBRISK) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477519) to your device memory
also download the updated .exe file on the programs thread
Step2. once you have installed the program on your phone take the updated exe file and replace it with the installed one ( program files\vijay555\VJBrisk.exe )
Step3. Make Sure You Have Both S2U2 and WP7 Lockscreen Installed..
Step4. Take the .exe From the "Program Files\ wp7 Lock Screen" folder and rename it to "s2u2EXE.exe" and move it to the "program files\vijay555" folder
Step5. Take The Vjbrisk.exe and rename it to "s2u2.exe"
Step5 1/2. Launch the S2u2 settings program and make sure you enable the lock upon wakeup under general settings and then save
Step6. Now MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE S2U2 !!! do this by clicking the iLock2.exe and you will see a message saying "iLock2 and s2u2 closing..."
Step6. Funpart- Delete everything in the (program Files\S2U2 ) folderexcept these files:
-iLock2.exe
-iLock2.log
-s2u2.log
Step7. Move both of the newly renamed files in the( program files\vijay555 ) folder that we renamed "s2u2.exe" and "s2u2EXE.exe" in to the (program Files\S2U2 ) folder
Step8. press your power button right after copying... it shouldn't work
Step9. press the iLock2.exe program.... it should work now!!!
To Change Wallpaper... Select an image to use and rename it "lockscreen_image.png" and place it in the root folder
couple of notes....
1. you shouldnt have to add .exe when renaming programs
2. When you press the power button you cant immediatly do it again and expect the wp7 lockscreen to be there ... it is a slow program takes about 2 seconds to load so when you turn of your screen it will be about 8 seconds for it to fully initiate
[UPDATE 12/16/10]
Made a Cab!!!!
install to device memory
for the cab you do not need any pre-requisites of programs the little parts of programs needed to make this work are included in the install
program can be uninstalled.. is called intui-tech intui-lock
hmmmmm... it seems there is a sort of apps, which catch power button
in order to display their own menu (shutdown-restart-etc).
Probably some of these ones can launch smth.?
at least you can dig into this direction...
i think that quickshutdown can do this... especially intercepting the power button.

Try this. If it was my setup, I would replace the s2u2.exe or whatever it is called with the lock program I was looking for. There is probably a lock.exe of some sort in the windows folder. If you follow the instructions for this program, it will replace the lock program with your specified program automatically whenever it is looking to launch the lock program.
I do this with my calendar and clock and it works like a charm. Hope this helps!
Oh, and give props to vijay555. This really is a brilliant little program.

Quickshutdown has an option to launch an application when activated, without extra tapping. You just have to configure what application to launch and how the behaviour is. So when you push the power button Quickshutdown is launched and the the selected application is launched too.

i will add a step by step for the cab however
i dewcided to put just an update addition because im not sure if the developers of these three programs are okay with the cab i created...
i actually had to rename it like a new program because i equally used three different ones so im waiting to hear backfrom them
my cab pretty much does what the step by step says to do iam gonna leave the original step by step there incase they want me to remove the cab
the cab instructions will go in the update section
so does the cab install too the 3 programs? install the cab and bingo! everything is installed and ready to go?

Very nice but, I have a few questions/problems...
1. Is it possable to adjust the font size ? On my Vzw Touch Pro 2 (WVGA) only Dec is shown in December, as the font is very large (maybe a lacking font for this ?)
2. Is there a way to get better performance from it ? Sometimes when I hit the power button (to wake it) it will not even show the lock screen, then it comes down a few seconds after.
3. When sliding up, I have to make sure my finger goes all the way from the bottom to the top, if I start from a little from the bottom, I have to attempt it again, sometimes this will take 2-3 times before I can open it, Can this be ajusted ???
4. When you change the image, is this the root of the device or the folder created by this installer (Program files\Intui-Lock) ?
Jaxbot said he did not include a font (Segoe WP) causing the text off the screen problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7920340&postcount=22
I found the font on XDA with some others, maybe inclue it in your CAB for everyone ?

ok so im trying to make screen stream mirroring work and i havent been able too. i downloaded the startup tool for non rooted devices . I followed the instructions and when I run the windows batch file the command prompt window says not enough storage available to process this command . I googled that to see if I could find a solution and it said to do this :
To do this follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start > Run > regedit & press Enter
2. Find this key name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
3. Locate IRPStackSize
4. If this value does not exist Right Click on Parameters key and Click on New > Dword Value and type in IRPStackSize under the name.
5. The name of the value must be exactly (combination of uppercase and lowercase letters) the same as what I have above.
6. Right Click on the IRPStackSize and click on Modify
7. Select Decimal enter a value higher than 15(Maximum Value is 50 decimal) and Click Ok (i changed my value to 50)
8. You can close the registry editor and restart your computer.
