What a disappointment!!! NOT RECOMMENDED….UNLESS - You only use Windows media player, button functions do not work with other media players, even tried core player with the “wmp plugin adapter “ which allows core player to 'host' plugins that are originally designed for Windows Media Player 10 but alas that doesn’t work either.
Even if you don’t mind using windows media player you are still left with the problem that pressing a button on the w100 wired remote will turn your device screen on. This happens even if you have set a button in windows media player to turn the device screen off. If you lock your device screen then you can’t use the button you have set in windows media player to turn the device screen off because it is not possible to map the windows media player to a button on the remote. The screen will also not turn off automatically after a given period of time while windows media player is running.
So you might want to consider purchasing an extra battery if you decide to go with the w100. As for the headphones with the E100, don’t bother, you would have better sound quality from two tin cans connected by a piece of string, and less treble.
I also tried installing the latest audio drivers from HTC, first off they do not install and you get a message that you have the latest driver already installed. To install the driver you need to extract the files from the exe and install the cab file manually, still doesn’t help. If anyone has found a solution besides an rma or can recommend a wired remote that actually works satisfactorily feel free to post a reply.
