HTC Audio Manager Draining My Battery

sent17inel · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-2008, 01:02 AM

I have an HTC APACHE 6700. WM6 Community Release Rom. An 8gb memory card with about 600 songs. When I use Audio Manager it never finishes searching for songs and this drains my battery extremely fast. Especially since i forget to end the program sometimes and it will run in the background. It use to find all the songs fairly quick.. but as i started adding lots more to my memory card now its constantly searching and it never ends... Im not sure why its doing this but i need it to stop.

I had that same problem on the Mogul and ended up hard-resetting, I tried un-install, re-install, deleted all hacks, nothing worked. Sorry thats all i can tell you.

Ok thats cool.. windows media players working pretty good for me right now so no biggie.

Here's a fix to keep Windows Media player going with the screen off (like HTC Audio does) for the meantime

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Unattended]
"WAV1:"=dword:00000000

Thats in the registry right? How do I get to it in Windows Mobile 6?

You have to have a registry editor installed, like PHMRegedit.

When this happened to me, I deleted the MSMETADATA folder on my Storage Card then the library updated as usual. Of course, I was using Windows Media so I'm not sure if it will help you or not.

Did anyone ever find a solution for this? Audio manager hasn't worked for every since getting an 8gb card and filling it with 700 or so mp3's and lots of other files including a few movies. When starting Audiomanager it does exactly as described at the beginning of this thread, it keeps searching until eventually it simply disappears (crashes I guess).
