Guest Rob.P Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi all, Moderators feel free to del this thread or merge it with another, but can someone tell me when Media Player 9 started working with the smartphone properly and I do mean properly. I get a full reading on my SD card now, plus the ability to format it through WMP and I can compress and copy straight to device. *EDIT* Just in case this a recent thing and it's not working for others this is what I got. Latest update for SPV (the one mainly for the keyboard drivers), latest updates for XP from windows update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 This was picked up on the newsgroups earlier :lol:. Can't say i've ever used it though. Apparently you can list and copy from/to your phone through WMP9 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I have spotted the one in the newsgroups now. But yeah you have full functionality as it should have been from the start, even recognises and gives a moderately accurate reading on how much space you have on your SD card as well. Makes life easier for a quick RIP of a CD onto your SPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 So, how on earth did it fix itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Unsure, it could have been via the update for the keyboard drivers or more likely an update via the windows update facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 not working on mine... have not installe the update for keyboard. I cant see the drivers on here either:- http://windowsmedia.com/9series/Personaliz...CoolDevices.asp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 what about music lounge app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Ahhhhh, I forgot about that little puppy, you could be right, anyone out there that hasn't got the Music Lounge app wanna try? I got the impression that the update did some other v.minor tweaks besides the keyboard drivers, I could be wrong (if you spoke to my missus then I'm always wrong :lol: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 i have not got music lounge installed and its not working..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob.P Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 That narrows it down a bit then, if you install the update with keyboard drivers and it works then we know what it is. If you do though it will re-cert your phone, but I did OTA de-cert from the website and haven't had any probs since, didn't lose any data either.

Guest James Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 i really dont want to go throught all that again.... i have only ever had to de-cert my phone once and i was going to keep it that way.... i noticed people are having probs doing this through the website.. have not read through it though! you think i may get problems doing it?

Guest mrjuglas Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 It's not the music lounge app (I haven't got it)... I've just tried mine and it's working although it wasn't before, I suspect it is Windows Update unless it's the UK update we all had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrjuglas Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I just used it to copy an album and it caused my phone to hang when copying the last track... I've had to reboot, anyone else tried using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 i get:- 'An error occoued' 'The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk' but i have noticed it keeps making a 'My Documents' folder in my smartphone root dir? how strange!

Guest mrjuglas Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Me too, no keyboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jhew Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 weird! I was gonna d/load the keyboard update, but it looks like the O dev unlock site is down, not getting the page. Maybe they've taken it off the air due to user abuse ;) lol bugger! Typical..the second I post that, the site goes back up! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 A lot of people have been having difficulties recently with the dev website (re unlocking). The optomistic view would be they're updating/repairing it...(although it seems to be fine for me?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
