I have two things i'd like to know as i'm new in the PPC world.
First: Is there " HandFree" option in this PPC, and how to activate and use it ?
Second: I've downloaded some ebooks "Prc & Pbd" and I don't know how to open them. I've installed the Isillo reader, but when ever i want to open a file a messege saying that the file is corrupted appears to me
handsfree if you mean bluetoothwise is not supported in the ms bluetooth stack maybe it is in the vidcomm stack
about ebooks then it's pretty much an abused name since everybody seem to call texts ebooks if they are .pdf you need acrobat reader
if they are .lit you need ms's own reader which is preinstalled and so forth it really comes down to the extention what program you need
I mean by "Handfree" is to make the speaker to be ON, (i.e. to hear the voice without putting my ear on the speaker)
and the ebooks are in .prc and .pdb
Press and hold the green button during calls to activate the loudspeaker.
If you do a litte bit of googling, you should find several readers for PDB and PRC files.

I recently bought a HT820, and I got it working with my SX66, but the Play/Pause and the track forward/back buttons don't work. Is there any way to map those buttons to a function on the SX66?
Not that I know of (the 3900 stack doesn't seem to support the AVRCP profile). I'm looking for this, too...
I recently bought a HT820, and I got it working with my SX66
I have an XDAiis and have recently purchased the same headphones, I upgraded the bluetooth settings from the site below
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...age BT 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00/
I too can now listen to stereo audio but again the buttons on the right hand earpiece do not work.
I think that the problem lies with Windows media 10.
Try using TCPMP, which is free software, (use google), you will find that all buttons now work.
The software isn't as friendly to use as WM10 but at least the buttons fully operate on the headphones.
Good luck

How to force buttons work in WMP 10.
The buttons do not work because BtCeAvIf.dll contains some tricky code to control WMP. It looks for the skin file to parse it for the button positions and then send messages to WMP window. But the place in registry and the skin files themselves changes from wmp 9. So we need to fix both.
The idea is to make new skin files and force widcomm code to use them. WMP 10 should use the new ones of course.
Look in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins] în your device
There must be several string variables, we need "DefaultPortraitSkin" and "DefaultLandscapeSkin", there the paths to skin files, portrait192.skn and landscape192.skn (or 96 for non VGA devices)
Find the files in \\Windows folder and copy them on PC. Rename them in e.g. _portrait192.skn
and _landscape192.skn
Then open them in notepad (turn word wrap off in it).
Find "PlayPauseStop" and delete all in and later columns (remove everything after 0,0,0). This line should look like all other buttons defininitions. Rename "PlayPauseStop" in "PlayPause" and align all.
Copy the new renamed files back to device.
Create new registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player\Parameters]
"DefaultLandscapeSkin"="\\Windows\\_landscape192.skn"
"DefaultPortraitSkin"="\\Windows\\_portrait192.skn"

It works with my Anycom headset! Thanks!!!
Just make sure you replace every number 192 in the trick with 96 (as the Blue Angel is a QVGA device). Oh, and the double backslashes in the registry strings at the end should be single backslashes (and don't include any quotes in the strings).
Tried it, and it didnt work :-(
I think i did it right, ill double check after dinner,
any one else had any luck with hacking the registry thing?
i spoke to soon, well sort of
Doesnt work with windows media player 10
but does work with TCPMP :-D
which is the better of the players anyhow :-D
So result :-D
hoping for success

i have portrait and landscape in both 192 and 96 (4 files)
do i edit all 4 files? could i get something to copy and paste?
using wmp10. not too comfortable with reg edit. can try but any thing i need to know?
thanks for directions, hopefully i'll be ok
i only eidted the 96 ones
i wasnt to comfortable with regedit, but i used a program that allowed me to edit it on the pc, to make it easier.
i wrote a very bad guide how i got it working with tcpmp ( a better player than wm10)
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2840.0
if it helps
but it didnt work with wm10 with me once i done this tho :-(
good luck
fully functioning headset/A2DP only thing missing now is...
voice command would put this thing over the top.
right now i would even settle for voice tags to make calls
anyone got any ideas about that?
thanks for BT setup instructions. i may not be the brightest, but i am not dee dee dee...
have a great night, waiting to hear some input.

I really don't know if it's possible on the Blue Angel... More recent devices already have some kind of headset/voice command support, only using a different program, so you just have to make it use MS Voice Command instead. But the with the BA, you'd have to implement it from scratch.
Still... it would be excellent if someone could get it to work.
Well after installing gullom's Touch X i realize that the batery will go off very quickly.
So i install PDA VIET 4.0.0.0.6 Touch rom and I'm impress, but i have some questions.
1.I can't send or receive any file from bluetooth i think that i have to install bluetooth ftp but i cant find it anywere.
2.I have a pda in my work with pocket WM2003 and in the keyboard menu has an option transcriber i "google it" and i found a site that says that WM6 has it too but this rom doesn't??I'm I right???
3.I have a a car radio with a hands free bluetooth kit that when i receive a call it stops the music and plays the sound of the call on the phone.
My question is can i make the same with tomtom, not the complete sound of the pda, but the sound when tomtom gives an instruction.
4.Where can i found good software for my pda???Any sugestions.
Thanks and sorry for the non perfect english.
PS.My pda is Qtek S200 with the amazing rom PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.0.6 Touch
PS2.I decided to create a new post because of no awnser in the pdaviet post
1) No answer
2) The removal of transcriber is because of memory... Some cooked ROMs and some kitchens give the option to put transcriber back in.
3) Not sure if this is the right place...
4) Google/use any search engine it
The battery drain problem has been fixed or at least reduced in Touch XB.
Well l3v5y,
Thank you for your anwsers.
I liked the Touch X, but when i have it installed i have to make at least one a soft reset on my pda.
This rom (PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.6) it's much more stable that gullum's rom.
I'm having problems on this rom to get sending or reveiving files from bluetooth.
In touch X i have an option on bluetooth options to activate ftp to receive and send files.
I found a cab of transcriber,but after install it and going to transcriber option on the keyboard menu nothing appens.
Well thanks again for your help, if someone has the anwser for the other questions please say something (in particulary the question about tomtom, i think that this will be very usefull).
The easiest way to get the transcriber function would be a cooked ROM... I shall, if you want cook one for you if i can't find a cab soon...
hmm...
You can add the Transcriber with a simple .cab file for example here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/25551333/d1146f29/Transcriber.html
This is the one for Crystalv4, but I've used it on other ROM as well.
As far as TomTom goes, I don't think that will work. It may with a old workaround App, I think it was called bluetooth to hands-free or something, just try searching with similar terms. The problem is that this app will re-route all audio from prophet main speaker to bluetooth hands-free protocol, which also means mono, not stereo.
Hope that helped.
Here ya go, try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278778&highlight=audio+to+handsfree
Thank you for the awnsers.
I can pass all my pda sound to the hands free kit, but i want to pass only the tomtom instructions so i can hear music on my radio and when tomtom gives me an instruction the music stops and gives me the instruction and then continues playing the music.I want this because if i pass all the sound of my pda i cant hear music and if i listen to the instructions on the pda i cant hear them because i listen to music very high.
So if someone knows how to do this, please say me something.
Sounds like you want some software for your car, and something to discriminate between TomTom sounds and other windows sounds on the device side...

Have you tried this? What other sound is comming from your pda when you're using TT??? I only had it installed once, but as I remember, it will only send if audio is present i.e. when tomtom says 'Turn left in 100 meters'. I'm not sure, since I haven't used it in about a year. Also, it's setup like that to save on battery drain. After all, it would be stupid to send 'silence' now wouldn't it!
The programs i tested does the same as my hands free.
I will describe more how does my kit works.
When i connect my car radio hands free kit to my pda ,i have 2 options make my kit an hands free or a wireless stereo.
When i choose the first i can hear music from radio stations or for cd normally and when i receive a call it stops playing and forwards the sound of the call to my radio.
The second option forwards all the pda sounds to a special menu in my radio (BT Music), that allows me to hear music from my pda but doesnt allow me to hear radio stations and cds.
Basically i want to make my tomtom instructions like 'Turn left' like a phone call so i can hear music and hear tomtom.
I tried many BT programs that forwards the sounds to BT Kits, but none of them works has i want.
This uses Hands-free Protocol...
This should do exactly what you want. It makes the stereo output of your device recievable for a hands-free set using hands-free protocol. Try it before you abandon it. I'm not garranting anything, but it's worth a try isn't it? I mean a lot of people in this forum wouldn't care, and say 'Read the wiki' so try it, and then say it doesn't work. It is actually a really old work-around for devices that don't support a2dp, so that people can still listen to music over a regular headset.
Sorry, the first link I sent is apparently something else,but may still work. What I was actually talking about was this little app.
http://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche35703-btaudio-toggle.html
whilst most of my replies are 'read the wiki' theres nothing like this on there, and its worth a try. if it works, write something about it on the wiki to help others!
OK i will test it and i will give news
Need Software to Test.
Ok so i tried this app and my conclusion is...nothing.
I downloaded it and installed it (copy the 3 files to the storage card), and tried to execute, but nothing gives me an error like 'Failed to enable BT audio'.
I tried to enable and disable bluetooth, but nothing..
So if anyone has more software so i can test it and post like a review of my experience with that software
Edited:
I started a new thread about software review and testing if you have anything to test or to give to know please go to here
Hi guys,
Dont hate on me if it's been answered before, but I have a question that I would really like a straight answer to. Before I had my Raph, I was raised on Nokia's. In this instance, when I have a full .mp3 track as my message tone, it would play, then when the phone was activated (unlocked or msg read) the song would stop playing. I would like someone who has to knowledge to think of a way that this setting can be replicated on the Raph.
It is annoying to no end that the only tones I can get that don't play for +3mins are small, low volume chimes that I can't hear in the car, walking with the phone in my pocket etc.
If a fix could be found, can someone post a link OR explain how this can be done.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried convert the music file to .wav format instead of .mp3
Ok just confirming. I can get the .mp3 file to play as my message tone. But it will play start to finish. I want a fix or mod that will stop it playing once I have unlocked the phone or turned the screen back on.

That happens when you put them in your ringtone folder, have you tried to put them in the root of your sd card then selecting them in the notifications menu?
as far as I know there is no thing like that. BTW Welcome Fellow Nokia to TP USER. I also only was a Nokia person and decided to try something new. Sure this thing doesn't have as many cool things as my Nokia E62 but the customizing that can be done is fun as hell.
.WMA seems to be the preferred Ringtone format from what I am seeing in the file system - yes, it will work with other formats.
I haven't found a way to stop playback once it has started; seems like it has to go through to the end of the audio file.
a way 2 stop it is 2 press down on the d-pad, like the direction down. It will stop. I was having the same problem with my fuze.
Hi all,
I'm gonna do my utmost not to rant about this, but I'll set the scene a little. I moved back to the Android platform from my (pre-SIRI) iPhone 4 back in September. On my iPhone I was able to leave for work in the morning (hands full and running late, obviously), get in my car and switch on my bluetooth visor mount which would automatically paid with my phone. I could then press for voice command, say "play music" and I had tunes on my way to work without rooting in my pocket for my phone. Simples!
Unfortunately it's not been so simple to manage on my SGS3 - S Voice worked some of the time and it would sometimes pair with my bluetooth and sometimes need a reboot before it would play ball (not the sort of thing you should attempt whilst driving). I chalked this up to OS instability and flashed to CM.
Much happier with the functionality CM gives but I've taken a step backwards with regards to voice commands: Google Voice Search does what I want but then needs an on-screen touch confirmation, Speaktoit can't manage more than a single-track stab in the dark, nor can Skyvi and Vlingo looks at me with disgust and says "oh, we don't do music here...". Utter also can't manage more than one track unfortunately, though it's a valiant effort from the developer. There's Car Tunes Music Player, but it doesn't have functionality built in to respond to bluetooth press commands (ie doesn't appear in the 'open with' menu when bluetooth is pressed).
So, when you're wistfully looking at your 3 year old phone and wishing you could throw the new £500 one out of the window, it's time to ask for help:
Bottom line: Is there some app, setting, macro, NFC jiggery pokery or voodoo that will somehow just let me sit in my car with my phone in my pocket and tell it to play some music without having to handle it whilst I drive?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I'm now completely at a loss and giving serious consideration to going back to the dark side!
Have you tried either Bluetooth Launch or Bluetooth App. Launcher? I haven't tried either of them, but they look like they might suit you. Tasker could do it for sure, but it's a little more advanced (basically, you'd need to make your own "script" with it).
Hi,
First time posting here, but not new to rooting and flashing. All thanks to xda and it's user.
So, I want route the audio coming out from phone's speaker/headphone or w/e output device to microphone internally.
For example,
If my friend is listening to a song and he calls me and asks which song is this, I want to able to route the audio to Shazam or Soundhound without the use of another device (although that's not the reason for the problem)
Anothe example is, Whatsapp. Lets say I am listening to a song (locally on device or on a radio app in my cell), I want to able to use that quick audio message button in Whatsapp to record that song, internally, so if there bunch of people in the car, their sound doesn't get recorded.
And I can think of tonnes of situations where this could be used like when you are talking to someone on phone, use song/sounds/audio phrases direct from phone. Like a using some famous/quote but instead of you quoting them, using the actual person's sound from your local storage/youtube or any other audio app storage. Using sound effects, all internally. You can get so creative.
And this is something that is done by music producers all the time, routing audio and play it with recorded audio, but all done with hardware. It could be easily done using software or hardware on a computer.
I thought of using the 3.5 audio jack with mic to route the audio using wire by connecting them but I would require that special hardware (modded 3.5 jack wire) all the time and won't really help other people much. A software solution would be a lot more helpful.
I did try using this app, called SoundAbout to fix my problem but it didn't help much, or maybe I was doing something wrong.
ps. This is the 2nd time I am writing this lol. First time xda logged me out and I lost the whole thing. Would be nice if there was a app (for windows) that would copy any text written in any dialog box automatically (just like autofill feature but for larger text fields) and keep updating it on the fly. For example, text in the Title box gets copied in the app after each character punched with 5 histories. Same goes for Message box. In case of Firefox crash or accidental refresh or like in my case getting logged out, there is text stored in another app that can be retrieved. I am sure there are solutions used by devs. as they do tonnes of coding. Please share you thoughts.
Also please feel free to give any advice regarding right category, title, tags etc. so that this thread is organized and easily searchable.
I am searching for solution too. Some professionals are needed to check on these:
1. https://github.com/jurihock/voicesmith solving to step between the mic & audio feed processing
2. `system/ect/mixer_paths.xml` file can be hacked (maybe alter in some devices)?
3. This is just for more understanding: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/sharing-audio-input
Did you figure it out? Are there not any Chinese or Russian apps that will bypass this restriction?
