later:

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.

[humps]

I'm going to try it. Hoping it *might* fix my problem described in my review of the remote:

otherwise, don't bother.

I cant install this driver on Tinity WM6
Any idea?

[cortez.i]

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...

[hays]

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)

[humps]

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?

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..............:(

Hi,

Is there someone wich know what is the RC E100 remote controller ?

[Fucawi]

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.

:)

[carphead]

It's this control here (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=145136&partner=froogle)

[Bakterio]

...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 :p and love it!!!

And now I receive my w100 and..... it only works with WMPLAYER again :eek: (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.

[Fucawi]

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 :confused:

... 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.

[hays]

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 ...:mad:

I want to use it with PocketMusic , eh HTC ! wake up !!!

[coolcmar]

I have a HTC 6800 AKA Titan AKA Mogul AKA P4000
and ive updated my rom with a 2.16 custom version(the last untill now) that has HTC audio manager as a default player so when press play on the w100 it automaticaly starts HTC AUDIO MANAGER and not WMP but there is still that mute button that does nothing ... anyway what i wanted to say is that i'm sure that there is a solution for everyone .. we just have to wait till someone like colonel00 or anyone else buy that controller and hopefully find this value (.reg file)


There is also ths thing : The ppc wakes up ... thats not suposed to ... so there might be file that we could change the value and use it as we want to

For more info or testing just PM me

mute button that does nothing ...


The mute button is for muting the microphone during a call...

[pietnik]

Any progress with the RC E100 remote control and button mapping so far? :confused:

[Dick Starbuck]

I have the RC E100 and would also like to use a different player (TCPMP or pocket player). I am posting all of the files that are contained in the HTCdriver.exe file (just in case some brave soul wants to help us).

The zip contains multiple cab and text files.

GOOD LUCK!
