First of all, I want to say thank you to the people who have spent their time to get A2DP working. I'm sure it wasn't easy and your efforts are truely appreciated!
So I have been trying to get A2DP working smoothly on my SDA for several weeks now. It sounds great and it never skips if I have just done a soft reset. If I pause the music and try to resume later, a "skip" in the music stream develops. It does not seem to help if I restart the music player (tried WMP and TCPMP) or if I power cycle the headset or the bluetooth antenna in my SDA. I have tried several headsets, including the Motorola HT-820's, the Bluespoon Spider, and both the black and white pair of Logitech headsets. All of them have had a skipping problem, but they were also slightly different problems; the Moto's had a relatively infrequent skip occuring every 30 seconds to a minute, lasting 1-2 seconds. The Spiders skiped once every 10 seconds, lasting about 1 second. Both my Logitech sets skip every 3 or 4 seconds, but the skip only lasts for 1/4 of a second or less.
In the last 2 weeks, I have also recieved a new SDA compliments of T-mobiles warranty service and my results were similar with both SDA's. Other things I have tried:
- Hard reset, installing only Tornado_A2DP.cab and Tor_A2DP_cert.cab
- Hard reset, installing the cab file and the certs in opposite order
- Priority256, UseJointStereo, and BitPool reg hacks
- SurrealNetworks performance booster cab file
- Overclocking the CPU on my first SDA (don't want to try on my new SDA)
One odd thing which I have noticed is if I am navigating the menu on my SDA or even just using the joystick to select different items on my homescreen, the skip seems to stop. But it always starts skipping again once I am done playing with my phones menu.
I believe the only thing left to try is an AKU2.0 rom, but I don't want to void the warranty on my SDA yet. Does anyone have any ideas? Are their any different values I should try concerning the reg hacks? Is anyone running imate and qtek roms with the A2DP hack and experiencing skips? TIA
aku2 rom
Here is a link to the qtek8300 aku2 rom. I am using it on my qtek 8300, w/ the a2dp hack, no skipping problems. I am jealous that you have 2 SDAs, you suck. good luck, anyway.

Lol, I had to send my old SDA back. But I was able to experiment with both SDA's for a couple of days and they both had similar problems.
What kind of headset are you using? Do you have to set as wireless stereo everytime you want to listen to music, or do you just pair the headset and you're good to go?
hey, I tried the motorol HT820, and they were uncomfortable and had bad distortion. I returned those, and got a Sony HBH DS970, and they are very comfortable, and sound terrific (cheaper, also). AVRCP controls work with WMP. Hopefully, they will work w/ the new coreplayer, haven't heard anything about that.
Once the headset is paired it is ready to go, BUT, there is one issue. If a call comes in while listening to music, the call works fine, but when the call is over, the phone has to be manually switched back to 'set as wireless stereo'. IMHO, this has been a relatively minor inconvenience.
I also thought the ht820's were uncomfortable, but I never experienced the high pitch distortion that a number of people have been complaining about. Those sony's look nice, but i'm looking for an around-the-head style headset like the moto's or logitech's. That's good to hear the sony set works well, despite the call issue.
Thanks for the feedback

Strange one that... I have an O2 IQ (Tornado, I believe, although it may be an Innovation?) and after applying the A2DP_Tornado cabs all is well, I have had no skipping, calls work properly, WMP pauses playback on an incoming call and resumes once the call is dropped as it should...
I notice in the first post there was no mention of replacing the DLL's... you are replacing them right? And with something like Resco File Explorer or the like... using the default explorer may not actually replace the DLL's!!
Funny you mention that because I didn't install the DLL's the first time i did the hack weeks ago, but I have copied the DLL's to the windows directory the last several times I tried hard resetting and reinstalling. Also, those DLL's don't exist in my windows directory on my SDA, so my only option is to copy them to the directory.
So I just tried this hack again. Steps are as follows...
1. Hard Reset
2. Sync with my computer, copy DLL files to \windows\, soft reset
3. App unlock the SDA, soft reset
4. Run certs cab, soft reset
5. Run A2DP cab, install to device, soft reset
6. Sync with bt headset
I listened to music for about 5 minutes and it was crystal clear. Paused for 5 minutes and then resumed the music and it still skips Thanks for the suggestion, it was well worth trying.
Can someone explain what the SBC.dll file does? The readme in the a2dp zip file shows reg edits concerning the other 2 dll's, but it doesn't show a reg edit involving the SBC.dll file.
Activesync...
Not sure that copying the files over with active sync will work...
And without a 3rd Party explorer you won't see the dll's in ROM, because of this I don't think they will overwrite... an app like Resco File Explorer (or smartphone version of Total Commander if there is one) allows you to see all the dll's and overwrite them with no problems...
You won't get an error using the default explorer, it just won't update the files... one way to try it is to d/l the demo of Resco File Explorer (or get a copy by other means) and do it that way...

The "call issue" is particularly strange, because I didn't have it with the HT820s, only the sony headphones have that problem. I have read that other folks have also been having that issue w/ the sony headphones, so maybe it is specific to the sony bluetooth settings? Probably they rigged them so they would only work right w/ the Sony Walkman phones. anyway, I am still happy with them.

On previous attempts to make this hack work, I have used the stock file explorer, Activesync, and Total Commander to copy the DLL's. I just did a hard reset and copied the DLL's via Resco, installed the cabs and the skip is still there
On a side note, I looked in the windows directory using Resco before I copied the DLL's and the 3 DLL's were not to be found in my ROM prior to copying them. :shrug:

When I installed, file transfer over activesync worked fine. What are you doing about the registry edits? I know that there have been some cab files claiming to do them automatically, but when I installed, I just typed them in using a registry editor. If you didn't enter them manually, maybe you might want to check to make sure that they have been modified as they are supposed to be.
Ya, I've seen the A2DP_improve.cab file, but I haven't used it. I have been manually entering the reg edits via Total Commander. The priority256 edit is supposed to fix the skip problem, but it isn't doing the trick for me. I've been entering 60 as the dword value, but is there a different value I should try that might be more effective?
Curious. I just followed the instructions on kyungas original post, which had a number of "dword" values. I have no clue at all what any of them means or does, but none of them are set to 60.
The Priority256 key isn't noted in kyungas first post. This key is a claimed to be an improvement hack noted in this thread...

Go ahead, just ask me how many times I have used the search button
Well, i finally broke down and installed the latest i-mate ROM. My skipping problem has disappeared, the interface is much better, and my phone is definitely running faster. I may have voided my warranty, but i'm a much happier camper now.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with the skipping problem on the stock ROM, your input was greatly appreciated.
Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?
I gave up and just did a hard reset.
SKTools
Hi
for anybody else still facing this issue, SKTools may help you.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(
i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you

Hello,
After I tried the update of the Radio Firmware 0.89 my handheld acts like crazy. I am tired of customizing it and then having to hard reset it!
The problem is: after about 2 days of working the sound mutes completely on my IPAQ 614c, with the new Radio! Also when I try to restore my backup (I used multiple backup software like Sunny backup and Resco Backup) it also mutes completely. I already tried going back to 0.88 but the problem which appeared seems not to go away (when I restore the old backup file I never had issues with, now the phone mutes even on 0.88 ).
Please help. I would need any advise on how I could correct the mute problem after it appears. It is most probably a registry issue or a windows file issue (maybe).
I appreciate any help, as I am in despair.
Thank you!

Hi,
I had the same problem once. It can be solved by enlarging the pagepool to (minimal) 4MB. Pagepool can be changed with Schap's Advanced Configurationtool 3.3 ...
More info also here...
Dirk
hi can you disrabed more detailed how to do that, I have a same problem, no sound and I try to reduce pagepool on via ActiveSync, please help
Hi I have looked through all the forums for my issue but I cannot seem to find my solution. I love the vibration on connect feature but I have not been able to get it to work. I have it checked in the advanced phone settings, and have looked in the registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting\ConnetingVibration" and the value is set to 1, but it still never seems to work for me. I was wondering if someone could help out with that, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot ,
Mikel
assuming that you have already performed a soft reset in this case, I think you should try to change the registery value back to 0 and then try to "activate" it via the actual menu on the settings option. and do another soft reset.
I hope that helps. otherwise, if all else fails and nothing is helping, a hard reset should solve the problem.
good luck
Vibration on Connect still not working
I tried all those things and still have no luck! Do you have any other ideas?
you even tried the hard reset? That usually clears everything back to factory settings.
If that's the case then it might be the rom that you are using.
At this point, i think you are beyond my scope of knowledge (which isn't much in technical details). Hopefully one of the more experienced members here will provide you a better answer than me.
Vibration on connect
Yes Im using the chrome rom and that could be the issue. If there is anyone who could help me with this that would be greatly appreciated!
which dialer does it use? is it the standard htc dialer that came with your phone? or is it the newer tachi dialer? google or youtube these if you don't know the difference between them. I suspect that you have the newer tachi dialer, which doesn't actually work with vibrate on connect with the fuze . If it's the older dialer (ie on a stock rom) then i would recommend hard resetting to get it back. good luck!
ps make a signature with your rom and radio etc or put it in your question so others know what you're running
I just updated my Jack to 6.5 (only to get in-call recording option - i've read somewhere they added recording option in call menu). So everything went smooth with update...recovering address book etc.
BUT...
as far as it goes with in-call recording it doesn't work. Same like in wm6.1.
I've tried everything...vito, resco, acr...nothing works... tried "record" in call menu but the recorded files are nowhere to be found (/my docs/my sounds, /my docs/notes, nowhere!!!). I've applied all reg hacks like "2 way in-call recording" etc. and even added registry entries by myself...still no dice. phone is unlocked (done it by myself - forcecellsomething<ATT ISP> is removed)...Anyone has the same problem?
what's the point of adding "record" button if it doesn't work?
maybe i'm missing something...I've updated WM to have record option...if it won't work it's gonna be shame (i see WM 6.5 lags a bit)
Appreciate your help.
Best regards.
ok...I've messed something up. Now I lack "record" in call menu...I've been trying to do some reg tweaks since no one knows what to do.
Can any of you help me now?
Thanks.
Finally I figured it out...those are the changes I made. I hope it's gonna turn out useful for all JACK (i637) users.
I made registry entries as below:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL DWORD="RingingAddressId" value="0"
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev DWORD="VocRecPath" value="2"
HKLM\System\CallRecording DWORD="Enabled" value="1"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice DWORD="EnableCallRecordMenuItem" value="1"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice DWORD="AllowInCallRecording" value="1"
With those entries I've been able to record phone call (2-way) using system notes from in-call menu. Notice difference in entries in comparison to other similar tweaks.
Using either resco or vito made some complications...with resco installed I wasn't able to use either system or resco recorder...with vito installed (after uninstalling resco) I managed to record only 1 phone call and then everything stopped working, including system recorder.
Maybe someone will figure it out...I'll try for sure...
Oh...does anyone know how to change notes default folder (\my documents\notes) to something different, for example storage card?
Thanks and cheers!
Hi mykail...
I´m owner of samsung jack (called Messenger Phone in Mexico by carrier TELCEL). I don´t know if AT&T Samsung Jack have diferent registry keys. My phone doesn´t have 2 registry keys (HKLM\System\CallRecording and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice)
I have created those 2 registry keys and followed your instructions for creating all registry entries but i can´t record calls.
Some suggestions...? Thanks in advance

Well frankly it's all messed up. This method doesn't work for me anymore...I don't know why. I tried to fix it but withouot results...U have to play with registry on your own. Happy modding. Cheers.
