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.
Hi All,
This is driving me nuts - posted before in "TNT" discussion but didn't get a response.
I am unable to use any number keys when in a call. Can't "select 1 to reach...blah blah blah" or press "7 to delete this message", etc.
I've installed, re-installed TNT, tried different radios, etc. Only seems to happen with TNT, but would like to keep it as the other features are great.
Anyone have a fix or suggestion? Here are my pertinent stats:
ROM: TNT.1933 TouchFLO Edition
I/SPL: 2.25
Radio: 2.19.11
OS: 11.0.0.1
Any suggestions would be massively appreciated as I do NOT want to have to uninstall TNT again, futz around and re-install (it does seem to work for a short while after doing so, but then stops, and what a pain in the arse!)
Thanks,
-tynk-
This is junk TNT issue!
got same rom and dont have this issue..
you just have to press the left button which says "keypad"
Sorry, should have been more specific, but I've got the flu, so not on my toes!
I can view, press, and even hear the keytones in call, but they do NOT register on the other end. No matter how many times I press "7", and hear the tone, voicemail doesn't hear it (I end up with a full mailbox pretty quick!) Or when trying to "press 1 for...", I can press 1, hear the tone, but the system on the other end doesn't register it.
Okay, it may be "junk TNT issue" (or it may just be related to TNT in that one of the progs bundled in TNT or settings I've ticked is the culprit), but what ROM or fix do you recommend? Not a particularly helpful post? Why bother?
Thanks!
I had the very same problem. Check out this post as he answered the question for me...

Yep, I had this issue. The solution is simple however - change the following in the registry:
Code:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
EnableDTMFSupport=0x0
In previous ROMs it looks like the setting 0x00000001 enabled DTMF support and in this ROM 0x00000000 enables it.... Bit weird but it worked for me.

It worked perfectly for me.
Thanx.
yup that is the only thing it can be
the problem was allready solved ..
dumb
maybe I'm a real dumbass but how (TF do I get into my Qtek's Registry?? I cannot find anything about that in the forum
NEVSKI
Got It!!
I used CeRegeditor and that did the job for me: in registry find DRIVERS\BUILDIN\RIL\ and put EnableDTMFSupport on 0 (it was on 1) strangly after reboot it works for me! (and before you change or open anything first 'unlock registry' in de CeregEditor (tools)
NEVSKI
if you dont know how to get into the registry there is a cab floating around that correct DTMF tones and I think some software. I had this issue on a rom and I downloaded a cab that fixed it. If I find it on my computer I will post it for you. Do a search for DTMF tones.
OK, i was messing around with Jetware, I installed this damn program in hopes that I will be able to hear my ring tones through Jawbone BT Headset. Surprisingly it did the job, but i didn't know this crap comes with side effect. Now my phone does not ring at all, everything comes to the headset. I just wanted both to ring the same ringtone just in case if I don't have my BT on me how would I hear??! on top of that if I place my phone on vibrate then i do not hear anything on the headset. So I removed the Jetware completely from my phone but for some reason nothing has changed. I am still hearing the ringtone from the headset now and no ringtone on the phone itself. Is there anyway I can have the phone ring as it used to?and how can i have the BT headset ring when the phone is in vibrate state?
I really hate the flash the rom again as I have done too much customizations.
Please help....
Thanks in advance

This is why we backup our precious every morning at 3am... We also tell the backup software to reset our precous 'cause precious seems to be happier if precious is reset daily.
Seriously you might want to reinstall and turn off everything then do an uninstall. You can also search your registry for the entries that jetware changed (try deconstructing their cab file).
And I would really recommend the daily backup it has saved my backside more than a dozen times!

what would you recommend using for a backup of registry every day at 3am?
I was able to restore it somehow, i installed other version of cyberon first and looked in the registry entries, there was one called LauchAPEnable under bluetooth registry stuff that was missing after I removed the jetware. So then I uninstalled the cyberon and added that registry entry, now it works fine as before with one exception: when I hit the BT headset button cyberon starts without a beep when not muted, before it used to beep ones.
Use either Sprite backup (avaliable with a little searching in the Wiki, look for my XDA Live Tilt Files) or Spb Backup (have to purchase)
Either will do the job and they can backup everything not just the registry.
Jetware installed an accessible option setting in :
/ Start-->> Programs -->> Bluetooth Options -->> Hands-Free Config
/ go there and tap on the Menu ( bottom right corner )
/ select "Advance options" ( a warning will popup )
/ there is an option in there to check/uncheck "use phone ringtones" feature ...etc
if you'd already went through this route and unsuccessful ... then you are SOL
I just thought that you might have not seen these settings
goodluck ...
I've had a good search of the forum..
I'm looking for a hack for turning off the keyboard click of SMS'ing, typing in IE, etc but keeping the beep tones for when I'm dialing in a number (when making a call).
I know you can turn off "key press" tones in settings but this is overkill as it gets rid of the dialing beeps too. I want everything muted apart from the dialing beeps. Unfortunately Advanced Config. app doesn't let you achieve this either.
I've got windowbroken unlocked & rooted device (Omnia 7) so have access to registry/explorer through WP7 Root Tools.
Thanks in advance!
Solution
I notice that this thread got a fair few views so if anyone is interested I managed to achieve this myself through a little file replacement.
The files on the phone that need to be replaced are: \windows\kbdkeytap.wav and kbdspacebar.wav
I replaced them with a 1 second silent GSM wav files (zipped and attached, see below) that I made in Audacity.
I copied the replacement files into the phone's windows directory using Windows Phone Device Manager.
You can copy the old versions into the phone's My Documents folder in case you want to revert to having clicks again. Obviously you can backup the old ones by transfering them from the phone to your computer too.
You need to restart after doing this for it to take effect (presumably it caches .wav files?).
The result is no key click when typing or pressing spacebar, but it retains the clicks for copy+pasting and deleting texts.
NB. My device isn't Interop unlocked (simply Windowbroke unlocked) so I had to grant the Touchxperience app root privileges in WP7 Root Tools in order for it to work.
strange request...

Had the phone a year and I'm familiar enough with the keyboard that I don't need/want audio feedback to let me know what keys I'm hitting when typing. For some reason I like having the keypad tones for the phone dialer tho'.... must just be a retro thing.
Cool hack.
However, there's something you should know (for your own benefit, and to avoid confusing people with misinformation): Your phone *is* interop-unlocked. That's what WindowBreak does; it's dev-unlock and interop-unlock at the same time. You wouldn't be able to install WP7 Root Tools (or any other app with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES), or install more than 10 unsigned apps, if your phone wasn't interop-unlocked.
Perhaps you meant "My device isn't Full unlocked"?
