After testing several possible configurations I tracked the problem quite clear down to the WLAN-SDIO Card.
Streaming TV or MP3 via Cradle is working very fine, even when I encode with 800 bits/sec. As soon as I plug in my SanDisk WiFi card my XDA II it becomes stucking and stuttering like an old car.
My question is: which part is the limitation? Are bad drivers for the WiFi-Card responsible (I tested Socket and Sandisk), is there any possible key in the registry?
Every hint is welcome.

a 128 kbps encoded mp3 will have some difficulty to stream by wifi.
But you should have no problem with a 64 kbps encoded mp3

Hello
I installed the cab with Blusoleil stack, set up a PAN network with my PC and tried to stream some videos to my Magician over bt, with Videolan (vlc). I knew that the Magician bt speed was not so good, so i set it the quality far below the theoritical bluetooth bandwidth (~600kbps).
With 300kbps video and 128 audio, the results were horrible... TCPMP player was buffering every 10 seconds.
I tried with every combination of video and audio encoder but i had no luck. With 230 kbps (190 video - 40 audio ) it was buffering about 2-2,5 minutes, but the video quality was not acceptable..
So? Is the module really sooooo slow with the only solution for proper streaming to be the Wi-Fi?

My QTEK S110 can recieve data with 300kbps...
No problem with TCPMP, try another bluetooth-dongle on your PC (at least, bluetooth version 1.2 , 100m).

To be honest the dongle is an old Gigabyte. I bought it before 2-2.5 years, so possibly it's not 1.2.
I'll borrow one from a friend and i'll try again
I've just bought a Jabra bt620s bluetooth stereo headphones and they work great with my xda exec (using the latest qtek rom)
My only problem is when i try to stream wi-fi radio station, it cuts out every other second, im wondering if this is a common thing using other headsets and if any1 has any solutions.
thanks in advance

Hi there,
I got some moto Bt sterio headphones. Really very good quality.
I am able to stream radio to the headset with out cutting out every second. It can pause now and again but its listenable through wifi. I listen to Radio ABF and this is quite a high bit rate station....
Im listening to it right now @ 192 KBps through Blue tooth streaming perfectly......but it is through Active sync.....What prog are u using to stream>?
Try a combination of TCMP and GSplayer. See which one cuts out the least, within both progs I believe you can set your own buffer settings. See if changing this helps.
If I stream a 400 + MB movie from my PC to my Uni then have the sound coming through BT I get a similar problem with constant "jucking" and stuttering every other second. Its much better when I copy the movie to my new 1 GB sd card £18 from www.ebuyer.co.uk!!!
I remember paying over £40 for my first 64mb MMC card for my original SPV. By the end of the year we will have 2 GB for £20 I recon.......
Same problem here with i-Tech BlueBAND Bluetooth Stereo Headset. It seems to be due to some interferences between BT and WiFi connection...
First Post, Hi to all.
Hardware:
I have just purchased an SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and I think it's great I want to use it to play music from my MP3 collection which is shared over the LAN and output the music to my new bluetooth A2DP speakers (Accoustic Energy)
Software:
The PDA is running WM5. I have installed V-mobile Software Network Browser which adds a network folder to the system and allows me to map my Computers MP3 shared folder as a network drive on the phone (This works a treat).
I am using CorePlayer as my media player as this is the best one I've found, it plays all my music and also my divx/xvid movies.
Problem:
I can play music straight over the network using coreplayer fine from the phone (WIFI & BT both turned on), but when I connect the BT speakers I get stuttering. Occasionally it seems to work fine, but most of the time the music is really broken up.
I can play music straight off the phone and send to the BT speakers and it works great, but only if WIFI is turned off.
It seems that the phone is maybe struggling to run WIFI & A2DP simultaneously, which is a little bit annoying.
Plea For Help:
Is there ANYONE who has tried to do this on ANY PDA? If there is, was it successful or are you having similar stuttering probs?
PS. I have tried the A2DP bitpool reg hacks with no luck, and even tried the 802.11g wifi hack in case it was a wifi bandwidth problem.
If Anyone can offer any suggestions or advice I would be most greatful.
//not sure if I posted this in the correct thread, it might be better suited to accessories?
I've got the tmobile MDA, it plays back AAC+ files great using TCPMP when not using bluetooth, but I recently got my first bluetooth stereo headset and I guess bluetooth must eat alot of cpu b/c AAC+ playback becomes choppy. Has anyone here been able to get smooth AAC+ playback using bluetooth on the HTC Wizard, and if so what did you do to make it happen? I tried another app called gsplayer but that made it even more choppy, and also tried fiddling with the buffer settings in TCPMP but made no difference.
Since I'm a bluetooth newb, I've got a couple more questions while I'm at it. Right now when I want to connect my bluetooth set to the phone I have to:
1) press comms manager button
2) click bluetooth settings
3) go to "devices" tab
4) rightclick my bluetooth headset and click "set as wireless stereo"
Now that's really a pain in ass in my opinion just to connect a headset. Is there an easier way?
BTW, is there a way to make Windows Media Player mobile to playback AAC+ files with the "+" settings? It plays them but sounds like 22 khz, I was wondering if someone has done a hack or something so it recognizes the full "spectrum" of aac+ files.
Sounds more like RFI interference to me.
Is there a wifi network nearby or is the wifi on the phone turned on at the time? Bluetooth uses the same frequency.
Pretty sure It's not an interference problem because it can pipe mp3 music over bluetooth just fine. I know aac is much more cpu intensive to decode compared with mp3. Are you able to listen to aac+ over bluetooth on this 200mhz smartphone?
FYI, there is a wifi network but I have wifi turned off on my phone.
My reason for saying that is that you said it plays back AAC just fine when not on Bluetooth. The other explanation I see being that transmitting data over bluetooth is also CPU intensive and that the two together are too much. But that's just a theory.
No, I've never tried AAC. The few AAC files I've ever gotten I immediately converted to MP3.
But you're right, mp3's play fine over bluetooth. Unless I get too close to my wireless router downstairs, then I get choppiness and skips like you mentioned. However, I do have my wifi signal strength amped up to increase the range.
I managed to solve the problem by overclocking the cpu as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271012
I'm running at 252 mhz now and AAC+ playback is smooth over bluetooth and the system is stable, and feels overall snappier now. But still if anyone knows a solution w/o overclocking I'd like to hear it.

switching to a player requiring less CPU for AAC+ decoding may be of help. If you followed my articles in the General forum, you already knew the answer: most importantly, Pocket Tunes. Kinoma Play may also turn out to be OK, but it consumes more CPU (but still less than TCPMP)
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350786 for more info and, again, do follow my articles.
Not looking to spend the asking price for Pocket Tunes or Kinoma Play, but thanks anyway for the suggestion. In your first post you described mplayer's cpu usage as "17%(!) for HE-AAC" which seems low to me, but you also describe the player as useless. That post was dated from 2005 however, so I was wondering if things have improved in 3 years. And I think I read somewhere that the Windows Media Player mobile for WM6 has AAC+ support- is that true? I'm reasonably satisfied with TCPMP except that I can't use use the media control buttons on my bluetooth phones to control it, so I'm keeping an eye out for something better (preferably free, but I'd be willing to shell out $10 to $20 on a good app)
Heyho,
I noticed a really annoying problem the other day when I was watching an episode of The Mentalist on the bus.
First of all a list of what I used when the problem occured
- X1i flashed with Itje's Touch-IT Xperience 3.01.
- Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Bluetooth headset
- A 230mb 45-minute 800x480 h.264 video file, packed in an mp4 at 500kb/s.
The problem that occured is that when my bluetooth headset was connected (and playing the audio), the video would lag like hell, e.g. 1 fps or less.
When I disconnected the bluetooth headset and used my wired 3.5mm jack headset, there was not a problem at all!
How do I fix this!?
the same thing happens when i use my hbh-ds980 for watching videos..
what i did to resolve this issue was to use the Super video convertor by eRightSoft (freeware) and convert my videos to MP4 with the "Hi Quality" and "Top Quality" boxes checked in the Video options. so even if i convert videos at 23 fps at 800x480 resolution, video and audio play smoothly through A2DP.
Happens to me too, I use the Motorola SoundPilot S705 and with bluetooth headsets the video lags, while with wired headset quite smooth.
I watch Divx video encoded for PC playback with coreplayer...
update:
Does this has anything to do with the issue? the bluetooth audio bitpool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3024995&postcount=7
i will try tonight when i get home.
I will test those advanced config settings and see what it does.
Sounds fine now, but doesn't fix my problem. Who can tell me more?

What is "Fine" now? better sound? did you reduce o increase the bitpool?
I increased the bitpool and I feel the sound is better, less crackly. Still, it's not the answer to my prying question.
Hallo,
I have the same problem after download norti roms nX1i v1.03 and 1.03 Did you solve it?

Nope, haven't found a fix yet. It's still too slow. Nobody had an answer..
did you ever figure this out?
i just bought a bluetooth headset (jabra bt3030) and i thought id give it a try with my x1a running the orignal rom, software version r1aa021 / customization version R2A.
As for my experience, i dont have any video lag using dvd movies converted at 640x320 768kbps/64 kbps audio and other videos converted at 480 x 320 500kbps/64 kpbs audio. movies were converted using super and also nero recode 2 and played using the media player and also the panel media player.
the only problem i have encountered once in while when starting a movie is the audio would be out of sync. the remedy that i found out for this is to pause the video and then push play again, then everything audio and video is synched up. i think it has more to do with the bluetooth, phone or headset, i dont know which but i figure this because when i start my movie, the movie starts before my bluetooth headset would like click on and start to play the audio.
i see you are using a customized rom, do you think that could be part of the problem? too high of a resolution? i didnt notice much of resolution difference between video converted at 800 x 400 and 640 x 320, 480 x ??? at the same kpbs. then again im not a big hd buff and my eyes arent as sharp as others. the smaller resolution played just as well in full screen mode. i think nero recode 2 does a pretty good job at converting videos, a lot quicker than using super and i got nero free with the cheap dvd writer i bought.
hope you got it figured out but if not, hope this helps others.
im using Nokia BH-503 stereoheadset im not having problems regarding to bluetooth and lags.
im using windows media player and of course i convert the video files to smaller resolution like 480x260.
also tried playing 800x600 but acceptable lags like every 15mins lags for lessthan 1 secs with bluetooth headset.
also try to end background task in your phone like antivirus, skype, etc... it might affect the performance of your phone.
U can use Core Player and there is an option to adjust the time synchronization between video and audio.
I've had these problems whilst playing x264 encoded files. I think that they just suck too much CPU power. It's not that the video and audio desynced or anything. It just had a really low fps! (like 3~4)
