Hi,
First of all, thx to all chefs for the great ROMs. I tried all WM6 (LVSW, Black, Dopod) and they work well except the sound doesn't go thru the speaker anymore. I can only hear the ringtone, alarm, MP3 ... etc via headset. I read one post similar to this but I couldn't locate it again (I searched half a day already). It seems that only a few people experienced the same problem. I also tried LVSW's fix WM6 sound patch, it doesn't help. I appreciate if someone can shed some lights.
Thx.
finally locate the previous thread. It is a hardware problem. There is some problem with the speaker wire. It is very close to the stylus. To reproduce the problem, I took the stylus out, then slide the keyboard out a few times may enable the sound. Once the sound is back, play an audio file and before the audio finishes, push the stylus back and the speaker stop immediately.
And I have to say MrVanx guide is pretty good. I followed the instructions and already downgraded my OS and ExtRom. Now downgrading the radio. So far so good. And those tools NBHextract and RomKoch are amazing tools.
Thx to all for the great work! Eventhough I have to take my PDA for servicing tomorrow. Tough luck sound was gone right after upgrade.
Same problem here. have u figured it out.
Updated to black then dopod then lsvw then newest lsvw.. i thought it was may a drop or a ardware issue. no speaker output all

hello, I am having a strange problem with my blue angel.
I dont have sound at all.
suddenly without apply anything strange to the phone. The strangest think is that sound is back after some time and then again lost.
I dont know whats wrong,
I tried resetting the device, I tried hard resetting, I tried even reinstalling the rom. I tried scan with an antivirus. NOTHING worked!.
When someone is calling me the phone vibrates, when I answer it, they can hear me but I dont listen anything.
Sometimes the sound comes back.
When I call someone and try to put speakerphone on (by keeping the green button pressed) the speakerphone does not come ON.
If it was a problem with the speaker, the speakerphone would show that is enabled but will not be enabled right?
**** I am so confused, I cannot use it as a phone at all.
With a hands free it works OK, and thats how I am using it.
Please guys if you have any idea...
anybody that unscrew pda2k?
have u tried the undirectional patch from pda2k? / try the most stupid thing, on ur bluetooth all the time & c if it works. :lol:
what is the undirectional patch?
is fixing what?
The unidirectional patch is available here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_Unidirectional
It will [probably] solve the issue you are having.
I have this problem too.
I tried to download this patch, but i cant do this! Its written: "530 Permission Denied."
What is it?
Can anobody send it me by E-mail? Pleaaaase!
I have fixed the file's location. Please revisit that page to download from the updated link.
Thanks man!
Sound Problems, calls cutting out
I have a similar problem in that calls come through but the speaker CUTS OFF just as the Sampled Ringtone plays the first 10th/sec , I use 11khz 16bit Mono Wavs - only 3 second loops, please check my post as well "Choppidge" at the base of page. Sometimes they just dont play at all, but do when I soft reset, the battery is almost fully charged. I will try MP3 patch as they dont play in Rings folder either. and this problem still occurs now that I have upgraded to 1.13.00 RADIO ROM.

Do I need the unidirectional Patch?
I also get problems pairing to my JABRA BT200 bluetooth Headset, soft-reset etc, its been so bad I had to get another phone
It is caused by the conflict between the BT Tray and the phone system
Unidirectional patch screws up screen graphics
After 2 hard reserts and restores
The Unidirectional Patch dosn't work for me it screws up my screen graphics
So does the MP3 As Rings patch god I hate O2 for this !!! still no new firmware!! :evil:
The sounds arnt playing at all, any of them, I have to do a soft-reset to get them to kick in, if its the bluetooth code issue, how do I remove BLUETOOTH ALTOGETHER??? even though I have a headset, the reception is terrible and I'm not going to solder an extra wire and drill a hole like some others have, god I hate O2 for this piece of junk!
and yes I am on Radio ROM 1.13.00
AND i hear 1.42.00 is worse than 1.40 I-mate which I am using.
The same fault as mine......
MegaHz,
It sounds like the same fault that I have got.
If you are running anything with sound (Tomtom, Media Player, Ring tone etc) it will be running sweet through the speaker, and then all of a sudden it will just stop (this is not the unidirection problem - but you get the same effect when in call - ie the caller can here you, but you can't hear them).
On my Blue Angel, if you press your ear really close to the speaker, you can faintly hear the sound/bleeps. The sound will come back without any warning and will drop off again at will...........
I did drop it, so I took it apart to check for damage.... I did earth myself but could of zapped one of the internal organs with some static.........
I don't have any of the problem mentioned. I'm running on 1.42 ROM, and the problems are mainly with the Wifi. It takes more time to connect to an AP, sometimes it doesn't like turning on thus requiring a soft-reset, and sometimes like all ROMs, the icon at the top starts flashing and the screen's backlight flashes on and off and I am forced to soft-reset.
iam currently using latest rom from dopod and motorola 820, although the two earpiece have sounds it is only mono, can someone help to make it stereo? o recomend what rom to use, thanks
In order to have stereo audio on a Bluetooth device, you need a profile called A2DP, which is currently only supported by the latest Qtek Universal ROM at the moment:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Updates/UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe
Dopod has not released a ROM supporting A2DP yet.
thanks for the help, God bless
No problem. Do let us know whether it works well or not.
it works, i have stereo sound, but need improvements, in a song the bluetoth stops 3 to 4 times when playing, the player dont stop its the motorola 820 that stops several times.
I did come across a post with a patch for the A2DP flaw the other day. It's somewhere on this site - do a search and see if you're lucky.
Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46811&highlight=universal+a2dp
It worked for me for a little while so try it.
Hi,
I have used A2DP a lot with my JasJar the last 4-5 months, and had written a summary of my experiences with this "lag/stuttering"-issue in another thread here...I have copied the most essential of that text below...might be usefull info for you;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to be two major factors affecting this "stuttering"/"lag" (from my experiences at least...I have used A2DP a lot with my Universal...couple of hours every day);
1. Universal struggling outputting(RAM/CPU...or both!?)
One help here is to apply the registry "A2DP priority" fix (found it in the forums here...and so did richardlai).
Another is to close all programs before using it (I usually do not do this...I usually only do it in hindsight when I get the problem).
2. Signal between Universal and headset struggling (obstructions between Universal and headset, WiFi nearby, so forth)
I for example get this problem if I put my Universal in my trouser pocket (I know, I must have big pockets, and walk around, I get stuttering/lag occationally. If I then take it out, and hold it in my hand farily still when I walk...no stuttering. I have found, that when I walk, it is Ok to have it in my backpack/rugsack...then for some reason it very rearly stutters...so I usually do that.
But when I walk of the bus at work, and walk into the "campus" of my workplace, which is cramped with radiotransmitters (is norways largest Telecom company)...I get a lot of stuttering, and need to take it out of backpack, and hold it in my hand, at it gets a lot better.
In short: A2DP with the Universal works, but is sensitive to disturbance/obstructions/moving around...and to make it worse, it is also sometimes dependant of the Universal itself struggling with CPU/RAM. So you can not totally get rid of the problem...but you can do a lot to minimize it...I almost never experience it now...except in the campus-area at work that is.
I have BTW had the exact same problems before with Qtek 2020 and Qtek9090 (which I got hold of some "A2DP patches", when I had those devices). ...but I really had a LOT more stuttering with those two...so much so, that I never used A2DP with them on a daily basis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also wrote a short post on my experiences with the different stereo headsets I have...yes, they actually act a little bit different it seems (regarding resume/pause button, and how easy/automatic they "reconnect"). You can see it here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47977
Hope this is of some help for you!
RonnyGydar: I came across your little summary a little while ago and have done the registry fix, but the problem still exists! Do you think altering the value in some way would help?
richardlai,
I added the registry value manually...found a reg-file (or was it a CAB-file!?) that supposedly should add it...but when I checked later the key was still not added in the registry?
So I added it manually.
BUT, I do still have the problem...but that seems to be radio interference/distance so forth...since when I hold JasJar in my hand and don't move it around, I NEVER have an problem. ...and actually fairly rearly when I have it in my rugsack/backpack.
With 1 or 2 exceptions...where it lagged "all the time"...but then a soft-reset cured it.
So if you have this problem with your phone lying in front of you on the table...then it really sounds like it is the JasJar/Universal that IS the cause (and not interference)...and yes then the registry hack should help.
BUT I have not done any real testing of the effect of it...I am not sure how much effect it really has...all I know is that I had a "lot of problems" with lag before...and now I almost never have it.
...I hate those "diffuse" problems...when it is impossible to measure in a "scientific" way that "this cures it", and "this do not"! :-(
Sorry about the "little help" I give here...but this issue is a bit "fuzzy"...I have gotten it enough under control to that it isn't a problem any more (during a 1 hour workout, I will typically get this gap/lag 0-2 times...and that is not a problem for me...at least compared to what I experienced 6 months ago, where I was lucky if I could hear 10 seconds without any problems).
The stuttering problem seems to be permanent now... Luckily I have a HP hx4700 (which has a Broadcom bluetooth module) and works perfectly with my Jabra HT620s. Anyone using an A2DP ROM other than Qtek? I'd like to try a different ROM to see if it would make a difference.
only a second of sound
i use the qstarz bt stereo headset (http://www.qstarz.com/products/bh-q392s.aspx) and it works fine for phonecalls, but when i set it for wireless stereo and start a media player (TCPMP, WMP, Pocket Player...) i mostly only get sound for one second and then it shuts up. the players keep playing, the buttons on the headset can pause, resume and change tracks but there is no sound at all.
i get full wireless stereo playback occasionally, but i can't figure out what differs from time to time.
i applied the above patch with no success. anyone has a thought on the matter?
Ariel.

I use the BT620s with my Qtek 9000 without much trouble. Here's the trick:
Assuming you have paired with succes. Set headset and BT OFF before starting.
Turn bluetooth ON
wait a second or two
Turn headset ON
wait another two seconds
Now go to BT settings, and connect the headset.
Wait for the little pling sound (the activesync sound ).
Now start Windows Media Player and play an MP3.
Using this sequence has never failed me
edit:
I use the latest OFFICIAL Qtek 9000 WWE ROM. (Without the ExtROM though ) And i did not use any patches regarding A2DP or Bluetooth.
this is what i tried, many times. i get the activesync sound, sometimes from the speakers, sometimes in the headset, but almost always only one second of sound afterwards.
i found that by pairing the headset to the universal by pressing and holding the green button on the headset untill the universal recognises (doesn't take long) gives better results.
pairing it by the instructions of the headset (putting it in discover mode, and then searching for a device with the universal) will give me the one second sound almost every time.

Well, this has ALWAYS been the sequence I use (and I don't think you can do it in any other way). The real problem here is either the buffer memory or processor load.

Then there is no A2DP problem, the only solution is to lower the overal systemload. Stop all programs you have running, disable every today plugin that need frequent updating (memory, battery meters etc.) Free up as much RAM as you possibly can. I have AT LEAST 16 mb RAM free when playing music via BT.
I did a search on the other thread and found many people with the same issue. In order to organize our thoughts on this topic I would go ahead and open a thread for it and maybe this will help jj and community members to find a solution.
My problem is much like everyone else. I can connect my motorola S9 they will play music; however, when I go to try to make a phone call or answer a call all I get is a slight hum through the headset with no audio and a possible freeze of the device. The slight hum is initiated by pressing the phone icon button on the headset.
I hope I haven't pissed people off by starting this thread I just thought it was necessary to come together on this because it is not just noobs having this problem but members and senior members.
EDIT: It looks like from the other thread JJ just came on and addressed this issue and is working on a fix. mods please remove this thread.

yes... still investigating this issue... the drivers i used have A2DP issues...
Widcomm bt project?
My problem:
Parrot ck3100 paired and sincro without problem. But no sound, just static.
Nothing original, as I can read in meny posts.
I wonder if somebody tried widcomm bt drivers (the project for hermes) with black 3.0.1.
I've been seeing a weird issue where the phone doesn't seem to know if BT is on or off. The Comm Manager will say BT is off -- but the blue LED is blinking. You go into BT settings, and it's unchecked (and presumably off) -- but it's still discoverable from PC's. Also hitting the BT button on the comm manager doesn't always toggle BT -- sometimes it works, sometimes not.
It's not a major deal to me, since I only use BT for PAN and file transfers, but that's only because I lost my really nice BT headset.
I have the Motorola HT820.
Black 2.0, not working
LVSW 5/5 working but phone only sometime answers
Black 3.01 - Success! All buttons work and sound is fantastic with stereo. Headset seems to work for call.
Widcom stack on my lappy seems to connect ok, although it seems slower than previous roms for transferring files
I'm currently testing an uncooked version of this ROM and BT is working without any problems
Am using a Jabra BT 250 headset. Initially paired it fine but went to use it an hour later and would not connect.
Re-paired it and it worked but with static.

Mute and Unmute by pressing the Green button twice should bring back the sound.

whats wrong with posting this in the thread for black 3.1? i guess this issue will never be solved not the bluetooth the stupidity
If the BT issues are a problem, do as I and many others did; flash Black 2.5 back onto the phone. Hopefully, your backup will be better than mine
But, the reality is that these are ROMs that are put together by volunteers, and use the latest available software. It can, by its very nature, contain bugs. It is NOT JJ's issue to fix them all--he's done a great job (walshieau too!) making these kick-ass roms. If you want to complain about the roms, flash the official carrier rom, and call them and complain. If you want to be on the bleeding edge, you are going to have to READ, LEARN and UNDERSTAND what you are doing--and be proficient enough to at least TRY to fix your own problems.
Well I sure hope there is atleast one person in this world that has my problem and has a solution.
I am a truck driver and own the Blue Parrot B150 Professional Headset. If you own one of these then you know how extremely good it is at voice quality. Most if not all calls sound like the person is sitting directly next to you. I went through 5 diferent headsets before coming to this one and discovering that there was a good bluetooth headset after all. It doesnt matter how noisy the environment is this headset will ALWAYS be loud and clear enough to let you enjoy your conversation...
BUT, if you own a Herm100 then you may be having a problem like I am. The official rom and the at&t official rom BOTH work perfectly with my headset. The moment the phone is turned on both devices connect and it never disconects as expected and I can answer calls with only the headset ALL day long. But the moment I try a WM6 rom ANY wm6 rom I can not for the life of me keep the devices connected and it is very irritating. I have to physically pick up the phone, take my eyes off the road while driving a 80,000 lb vehicle at 65mph on the highway, and ask it to use the headset. If a phone call comes in it only comes in on the 8525, unless I just happen to have ESP and realize a call is about to come in and hurredly ask the devices to reconnect before the call comes in. The instant the phone call is over the two devices lose their connection completely and the whole process starts over. Absolutely USELESS as a handfrees system.
I hate WM5 and love WM6. So, I want to know if I got a bad 8525 and need to toss it out and try a diferent phone or is there hope for this 8525 someday... I cant be answering my device with my hands and risking killing people.
Any help would be appreciated please.
Wow what an amazing amount of advice. I will try what post #2 has suggested and go back to WM5 since WM6 does not have a properly working BT stack...
Thanks
Which WM6 ROM did you try??
The VERY LATEST WM6 ROMs have fully working BT stacks.....try Black Majik.

Yeah your thinking just like I am. I just tried Majik about an hour ago and it was VERY nice but Im on Cingular 8525 and it messed up my keyboard buttons unfortunately. Hopefully one of these Hybrid roms everyone is making as of late will solve the broken bt. I managed to fix the bt headset not keeping its connection but every now and then BT will just completely turn off and you need to turn it back on. Cant believe MS went RTM with a broken BT stack...

Yeah thanks mrvanx, I figured that out as well. I have to move into a new apartment today so I cant mess with this anymore. Once I am settled I will try going back to a WM6 rom and see if I cant fix all my issues.
Really like the Black roms look the most though so I might in the end be using them.
I flashed the alltel update and then JD's wm6.1 test. I had sound at that point but somwhere along the line of adding back my apps I lost sound to the hardware speaker and wired headset. My bluetooth headset still works though.
I've loaded a number of different audiopara files one for 6.1 specifically and still no sound.
help?

have you read up on the specific roms thread? perhaps this is a known issue with the current release.
besides that, i would just say you got a bad flash and to:
1) hard reset
2) flash again
3) hard reset
and see if that works, good luck.
I lost sound again today when I installed srs wow hd. It might be that installed 2 different versions and they conflicted.
Everythings fine now. making sure I back up with spb again though lol
