WMA Support? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm mighty stumped. I know the O2 ROM lacks WMA support, but I've been ontwo StreakDroid 1.5.x versions, as well as the US 2.2, and an earlier version of StreakDroid (maybe 1.4.x) and the SD card scanner is picking up none of them.
I'm currently on US 2.2, and now I can actually play WMAs (before even trying to open them with a file browser wouldn't work).
I've tried Google searching, I've tried searching the forum, I've read several pages deep into stickies, and I've come up with nothing.
Does anyone have any input as to what to try?
US 1.6 (WMA worked) -> O2 1.6 (WMA Worked) -> O2 2.1 (WMA Failed) -> older DJ_Steve (WMA failed) -> DJ_Steve 1.5.3 (WMA Failed) > DJ_Steve 1.5.1(WMA Failed) -> DJ_Steve 1.5.3(WMA Failed) -> US 2.2 via QDL (Not found my media scanner and has no meta data in Music Player, but plays).
EDIT: Just to be clear, I did do a wipe before installing each ROM, and MP3s are found, its only WMAs (and maybe WMV) that aren't being found.

You may need to download an app called wavpalyer, it's £0.99 if i remember correctly.

How would this help? My current problem is that the media scanner isn't finding WMA files. If it were used in another ROM (one where WMAs won't even play), it wouldn't be of use because it only uses the codecs natively supported.

For the time being I'm just using the dell provided solution. Hopefully an actual solution can be found. If someone knows something please let me know.

I tried this on my XDA II with the 2.06 2003SE ROM and found a problem - could someone else let me know if they have the same problem...
After installing I reset my device. After the reset, I found that I couldn't select any of my other input panels other than the default Block/Letter recognisers or the built in keyboard. IntelliPad (Phone Pad) and MessageEase were in the list but when I selected them it just switched to the default keyboard.
Can anyone help?
I've found the same problem with Intellidialler but finally managed to get Calligrapher working and never drew the connection with voice command. On top of that, there was an error the first time I tried the 1.5 upgrade setup and now if I try setting up 1.5 again it states that "No previous version of Microsoft Voice COmmand US PPC 1.50 was not found on this machine. The setup cannot continue" (yes you read the double negative right it's not a typo) I've tried uninstalling 1.0 and 1.5 and reinstalling to no avail. If anyone has an idea about either of these problems please share...
Hey pole_vaulter1,
I had exactly the same problem (No previous version etc).
It can be solved by copying the .cab file in c:\program files\microsoft voice command\ onto your xda\imate\mda and running the cab file from there.
Hope this helps.
Craig.
Craig,
Thanks a bunch - worked perfectly. I really should have thought of that myself but I suppose that's what a forum is for. Now if I could only get my Tengo and Intellipad to show up instead of the keyboard it would be perfect (until the next upgrade,tweak, software, etc.)
THANKS,
Travis
Craig,
in my case the installer does not create the \program files\microsoft voice command\ directory. Can I extract the cab file from the msi?
G'day Eddy,
I'm assuming you have 1.0 or 1.1 installed on your ppc.
Do you install files to another location? The file that went into the directory I mentioned is ... "Microsoft Voice Command.PPC420_StrongARM.CAB". You might be able to search your pc for that file?
As for extracting the cab from the msi - no idea sorry
Hope you find it.
Craig.
Craig,
no, I did not have version 1.0 nor 1.1. I got the impression that you installed without a previous version.
G'day Eddy,
No, I had the exact same problem as Travis a couple of posts up where I installed the upgrade, it gave me an error at the end of the setup on my ppc saying I already had voice command already installed (even though you had to have it installed for the upgrade to work) so I uninstalled it on my ppc - soft booted it to make sure it wasn't still resident, tried to re-install it and it gave another error saying that I didn't have the necessary software installed (version 1).
I'm not sure if you can buy version 1 of the software anywhere anymore but from other posts, apparantly handango will only let you buy it if you are a US or Canada resident.
Sorry for the bad news for you.
Craig.
Cab file MSVC 1.50
I found the cab file. Just copy it to you're device. :lol:
Dutchie,
could you mail this cab file to me or did you extract from the msi file?
@Dutchie - do you have any problems with any of your SIP's?
The second I install it from the CAB file I'm unable to select either IntelliPad or MessageEase for my input methods.
If yours is working then I'm wondering what I've done wrong!
No Wifi or Wordlogic after MSVC :-(
SH..... no WIFI or Wordlogic after I installed 1.5. I uninstalled it, and they work again. Anyone having the same problem with Voice command??? :?:
Does 1.0 the same??
I had quite a few problems after installing Voice Command 1.5. MS Reader would not run (out of memory error) and Calligrapher would not work either (still apeared in the bottom right) but only keyboard would load when Calligrapher chosen.
If I disabled Voice Command 1.5 (as opposed to removing it) everything was fin again.
From another forum I found that the problems I was experienceing was related to plugins in the Today screen (I had the Sprite monitor programming running). When this was removed, Calligrapher kicked back into life and Voice Command 1.5 worked fine.
MS Reader still gave the same out of memory error, but I found that if I added a shortcut in the Startup directory for MS Reader and made sure it loaded first then it would work fine after that.
Hope this helps
Mike

Interestingly, I have a similar problem, but I haven't touched MS Voice Command. I've had to make Intellipad my default input method, even though I use Fitaly more often. Once I change from Intellipad to anything else, I can't go back to Intellipad, or anything else, for that matter...

Aku3-Rom (WWE) and Planet3 (Austrian 3 Hutchinson)

Before I flashed the new Test-Rom (Aku3.3 - i had the original MDA-VarioII-Rom from TMOB Germany) I was able to log in to Planet3/3-Homezone with the trick, that I changed Registry-values to say the 3-server, that I´m with a NokiaN70-phone and not the HTC-Hermes.
With flashing the new rom the Registry-Changes take no effect...
Has anyone an Idea?
Changes to be made:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
@="NokiaN70"
Seite: http://mobile.drei.at/hb/NokN70/HutchKey
same roblem here.
The problem is: The User Agent of the Pocket Internet Explorer isn't sent with the URL-Request.
Is a bug of the PIE.
Has anybody a solution?
Sorry, which bit of Planet3 can't you access using the default settings? I'm able to do pretty much everything with the default settings, I'm currently running XDA Live 0.20.1 on 3 Australia in Melbourne.

3 Hutchinson Austria doesn´t support WM5/6... cause they don´t have HTC-mobiles to sell... so you only can connect with this trick to let them believe you´re on an supported phone....

I have the same problem with 3 Hong Kong. I downloaded the technical preview of Netfront 3.4 and there U can set the user agent as :
Nokia6680/1.0 (Symbian OS/8.0 ;Nokia; Series60/2.06)/Netfront3.3
Everything works now except Streaming Media and video download. I tried using Dopod838pro/mozillia/4.01 before..but I have problem access text news. However, I could get the link of streaming video and copy the link to stream player myself to play the video. Since I don't watch video much, I just use the user agent that works with text news best. I am sure you can find a better user agent setting. I just use the first one that works for me.
Thänx alot...

Maybe somebody who uses the XDA Live ROM can zip the hidden system-files (4 files) which are starting with IE in Windows-directory. Then I can move them to my ROM with a proggy, and the Bug is away!
You will need the 3MobileTVonWM5Device.zip from Up/Download-Area after registering at http://www.umtslink.at/3g-forum
THE PROB WITH THE STREAMING PLAYER: SAME PROBLEM WITH 3 IN AUSTRIA, BUT I SOLVED THIS PROBLEM LONG AGO.
First you need to get the 3-Page running on your TyTN, then
(Who already has HTC Stream Media installed can start at Point 3)
1. copy the files from 3MobileTVonWM5Device.zip to /Windows on HTC TyTN
2. copy the StreamingVideo.lnk to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
3. install 838Pro_Streaming_v210.cab to Device-Memory on HTC TyTN (XDA Trion,....)
4. Soft reset
5. open Streamingplayer in Programs and as Connection set the 3-Internetconnection
6. 3Planet MobileTV Link works.

The only thing is, that the 838Pro_Streaming.cab won´t install.
Did you try the cab from the zip file?
On my XDA Trion it installs normally and then it works

Unzip the Package and copy the files to your Windows-Directory on Hermes.
On Overwrite-promt tap yes.
Then change for 3-Austria the User Agent in Registry to:
[HKLM\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
(Default)= SonyEricssonW850i/R1EL Browser/Netfront/3.3 Profile/MIDP-2.0
The old User Agent String doesn't work for some reason. (?)

Works great, thänx a lot. Great work. While posting in 2 diffrent forums *gg* such a perfect solution.
Look: I edited post #13
hello my friend
I had the same probleme like you!!!!!
But now, not anymore, hehehe. I red with great interests your posts in the other forum and than here.
You help me a lot, thank you very much. I think [/B]you and a lot of these guys here, are very professional.
Without your help, I am sure, I sit with my hermes and I will not be lucky - because a lot of my problems does not be solved.
once more, thank you, morf
sorry, for my bad english
Does it also work on the trinity ?
When i copy the files in the windows-directory on my htc the internet-explorer doesn't start any more and the htc hangs.
Only a reset helps.
See posting #13: Flexible User Agent PIE V2 released
If you installed the first Release, simply select the overwritten files in Windows-directory and delete them, the original ones from static ROM will be replaced automaticly. Then install the two files from new zip, and smile.
For more info see post #13
I unzip the file and copy the resulting files to storage card in phone and then inside the phone through "File Explorer" copy that two files to folder under Windows, I got the following error message.
Pls advise if the method to copy file is incorrect or is there any method to solve this problem. Thanks.
Cannot copy "browser" : Access is denied.
Hi,
I can browse all the contents & see all streaming after changing the registry and overwriting both the browser dll and webview dll files under phone windows directory( from the zip file)
But it created another problem.... I cannot open any sms message or write any sms after the change .
I used the spb backup (ghost) and I have no problem at sms again, then I only overwritten the browser dll only to the phone windows directory ( did not overwrite the webview dll) , it now works for both sms and IE browsing !!!b

Bought a Mini Pro (and this is my rant/question)

So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.
@bmzloum
Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.

Dell PC Suite

Ok am I missing something. I have an At&t dell streak running the O2 2.1 build. I have noticed that PC suite version 40 does not work with 2.1. Is their a fix for this. Seems like every link I find and try to download version 48 that apparently fixes this issue does not download anything. Sorry if this has been answered already and I have missed it somewhere.
you can download the version that works with 2.1 from dell.co.uk's support pages.
i used it, it worked. now i'm running 2.2 and realized pc suite is useless as my contacts back up to gmail anyway.
Tried all the links. It either didn't download or it downloaded a small zip file. When try to extract it says no files to extract or corrupted file.
i had that exact problem
ended up using opera to download it ;-)
i'd upload it but its too big for xda & i don't have a ftp or fileshare a/c
Thanks using opera worked.

Possible to run Honeycomb optimized app on Froyo?

OK...so I am a noob and it will show with my first question (so please go easy on me)....
I have an .apk for Words with Friends that is optimized for Honeycomb that I downloaded from xda developers forums (Its landscape and works well on Honeycomb from what people have said). I own the Le Pan TC970 which is on Froyo 2.2 and rooted. Is there a way to make this app work on this device with this OS?
I also want to add that I have tried sideloading the .apk I have downloaded and I get an error saying "there was a problem parsing the package." I sideloaded by tranferring the .apk from my PC to the memory card on my LePan and then tried to install from the stock file manager.
Thanks so much in advance for any help!!

No. The framework and API's in Honeycomb are higher versions (and set differently) than in Froyo, hence the "error parsing package" error.
