Hi, i was just wondering, are there ANY apps which work better when installed on the main memory? I know people have seen performance increases when installing some apps, such as media players, on the SD card, but what about others?
so far my main memory is empty, but I installed Pocket hack master on the main memory..mainly because that way i can use it no matter which SD card i am using.
thanks
p.s. ive managed to get up to 624mhz with the stand PHM settings if anyone still cares about how some universals get up to 624 fine while others crash/hang or fail the test.
p.s. by turning off 3g, and using gsm, ive got much better reception, gone from 0bars to 1 bar, to 3-full most the time, and video playback is less choppy, so i assume its faster, and this is with PHM set on 520 only

im having problems with my 1G SD memory card. I have mp3s and movies on there and when i enter it into my XDAII and play it while using another program (ie file explorer), my music/movie lags and skips. What's the problem? is it because my device is dirty? or a bad card? it was running smoothly before when i first bought it. But now its doing this when i play music.
help please
i had the same problem once
i solved it by removing journalbar which took
too much cpu while running so the xda2 got audio issues
try removing your today items one by one and see
also using the program

and setting audio streaming prioity up also helps alot
thank you sooo much it worked.
Hey, I noticed that the bluetooth app for WM2005 is super basic. Is there any way to make it like the one on the Blue Angel? Like so you can tell it when to accept files/when to require authentication/when to require autorization?
Also, it does my head in how I have to have IR on to recieve bluetooth files so everyt ime I go near my laptop it has a fit, trying to be an IR modem.
Also, has anyone tried a 2gb mini sd card? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2GB-Mini-SD-M...ryZ18871QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Moby Memory card working fine
There was a thread on here about memory cards before. My Moby 2Gb card is working fine <fingers crossed>.
Yes, the bluetooth app is pretty basic. There is a hack on here somewhere that can uncover more features (I think) but I've never needed to so I don't know where it is.
The Moby 2GB card does seem to be working ok - only had it a week though. £82 is not bad price as well.
Kool cheers guys. I think I'll grab one. Although lower capacity, using a PPC instantly renders iPod nano obsolete simply for voice command of Media Player while driving. It impresses girls no end
Hmm, could someone dig up the bluetooth hack for me? I don't have much luck with forum searches. No matter what I search for, it brings up EVERYHTING!

This subject seems to have been beaten to death in the other device forums, but I haven't seen any direct references to this in the TyTN forums, so here goes: has anyone who experienced the ( every 10-20s) skipping problem using the A2DP profile found a solution?
I've seen a couple of registry hacks in other forums which seem to have worked for others, but nothing so far about the TyTN.
I have everything working now with WMP except this and the issue with the ring tone being delayed and coming only from the headset; see my other post this morning.
So far no other problems with the TyTN.

Skipping happens on my TyTN mostly when the WiFi radio is on. When turned off, the music skips only every now and then.

Not in my case. Wifi is turned off, and I still get skipping every 10-20 seconds.

Find this registry : :idea:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/UseJointStereo (Dword:1)
Change the Value to 0
Also you can add a new registry to improve the quality:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Add : BitPool [Dword : 48] Maximum is 58

Yes, I've done these mods which set to stereo (why on earth have mono as default?) and select audio quality, but these don't affect the skipping.
Unless lowering the BitPool value will cure the skipping - but I want to keep it at 48 at least.
/POL
Check through my notes thread here. There's been some research going on with priority settings and specific bitpool min/max values. However, there appears to be more than just reg settings at work though. The entire device slows to a crawl too. My gut feeling is that this won't be addressed until HTC releases their first official update, rumored to be in a few weeks or so.
i have done that but still skips every 30 secs or so.
Interestingly, I could hear the same "tick" on my 8125 as well but it sounded like a slight scratch on a record. On the TyTN its magnified to this major dropout. I'm really thinking our only A2DP solution will be to wait for the updated ROM I'm afraid.
Let's hope they don't take the coward's way out and remove A2DP altogether as was done in several Operator's initial AKU2 release for the Wizard.
I think you guys should look into optimising your SD cards and trying the reg entries sleuth255 indicated. My A2DP seems to work fine with probably 99% skip free playing. I'm currently one floor above my Nokia HS-12W and am still connected to my TyTN ok in certain parts of the room. If i am right beside it or in the same room I dont get any skips at all; apart from when I lose or reaquire a GSM signal.
well, that's encouraging news efjay! Much better results than I ever got. Btw: are you running the newer DoPod rom onto your TyTN by any chance?
edit: nevermind; I just used the Wiki to crossref. If your signature is correct then you've got the standard TyTN ROM build running.
Yes im running the TyTN rom. I actually had the Dopod rom but apart from a few things in the extended rom wasnt too different so i flashed back to the TyTN one. A2DP works ok now, was listening most of the day and the TyTN battery even outlasted the Nokia battery.
Another good point in the Nokia's favour is you can re-establish a stereo connection without having to go to the BT settings - just push the Audio button and it reconnects for you and the music starts.

Some good news on my part! I've done all the mods suggested by sleuth255 - except lowering the BitPool value to 5 - I suspect that would decrease the audio quality too much - and I now have skipping only about once a minute. Much better.
How do I go about optimizing the (micro)SD card?

Forgot to say that this time I actually listened to music for about 10 minutes and the device does indeed slow to a crawl. Pretty much non-responsive, actually.

Check out this guide from Menneisyys
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921
Or the short version - get SK Tools (trial version should be ok, if not it costs $13) and format your card but make sure the backup FAT table is disabled.
I used it with the default cluster size values and also have other registry tweaks applied and A2DP works; I am even able to browse via GPRS when streaming music.
A2DP and WLAN - no such luck!
It became obvious to me today that using a stereo Bluetooth headset while connected via WiFi is a non starter. Continuously skipping audio and the device hangs after a few minutes and needs a restart.
There goes my dream of listening to Internet radio over a WiFi connecIttion. It works over a UMTS connection but since my carrier doesn't have an unlimited data plan, that's an expensive proposition.
Didn't HTC test such an obvious scenario?
Bummer.
@efjay:
Ok, so I'm now up to speed on SD card optimization having read through Menneisyys' post on this. Now to the nitty gritty... I have a 2gig SANDisk card so FAT16 is pretty much out due to the huge cluster size that it would create. I'm going to eliminate my FAT backup, go with FAT32/8k cluster sizes. I forget how many entries a FAT32 table can have but if that won't give me a full 2GB then I'll bump the cluster size up to 16K.
One A2DP note however: I did test with an mp3 file located in main memory and there was no improvement in skipping, so I came to the initial conclusion that SD card access speed wasn't an issue.

Let us know how it goes. I am still getting skip-free playback via A2DP. If it doesnt work maybe the additional reg tweaks I applied to the system cache are what is making the difference.

I've found another issue with the wireless stereo profile - sometimes when a call comes in, pressing the call button on the headset will answer the call, but there is no sound (caller can't hear me and I can't hear the caller). To get the call going, I have to "disconnect handsfree" from the call in progress menu and then press the headset button again.
Anyone else seen this?

joint stereo is not mono
joint stereo is merely a way to improve compression efficiency -- and can even be used with lossless (stereo) codecs
so is there any progress? I have the same trouble with my Anycom BSH-100 .. it is skipping every 30-50s
thx
I am planning to do the Big Storage hack, and I'm just wondering if it's worth it to upgrade the ROM and radio at the same time.
I've read a lot on the wiki and also on the forum, but while there' a lot on how to upgrade, I couldn't find much on the difference / improvement between 1.13 and previous versions.
Right now I have ROM 1.12WWE and Radio 1.12.10. The ROM has been pretty stable for me, and I have no complaint about the radio reception and voice quality neither.
I wonder if there's any significant upgrade or new features on 1.13 ... otherwise I really have no big reason to mess with something that works fine for me.
I recently went through the whole upgrade process.
Updated the rom to 1.13 and left the radio at 1.12, also got the big-storage hack.
I've noticed no improvements due to the rom upgrade. However the big-storage hack is the best thing yet cause you get all the extra space (ofcourse) and it gets rid of all the cusomised junk.
There is a downside to this that eerytime you hard-reset (for whatever reason) you lose all your data since there is no extended rom to read from on the reboot. So I just keep all my cab files zipped on the storage card.
I did the whole upgrade in the end (ROM and radio to 1.13, and big storage hack as well).
I have not noticed ANY improvement since the upgrade to 1.13, both ROM and radio. I do not get better reception (or I don't notice it anyways) and I also don't notice any added feature from ROM1.13, nor does it run any stabler than 1.12.
That said, I don't think it's any worse or any less stable neither ... so for those who's going to do the big storage hack (which you'll have to backup and restore your ROM and go through the whole hard-reset / restore anyways) I'd say it doesn't hurt to upgrade at the same time, just for the sake of "newer version's gotta be better".
For those who're not planning to do the big storage hack, I'd say don't bother. It doesn't provide any noticeable improvement and it's not worth the hassle.
As for the big storage hack, well it isn't exactly what I thought but it isn't bad neither. I thought by doing the big storage hack, I'd free up more space for program memory. Turns out it only gives you more STORAGE space (as its name big STORAGE hack suggests, I guess) but not more program memory, which is what I constantly run low on. And getting more storage memory isn't a biggie for me, because I have a 1GB SD card which I only use ~ 30% of at the moment.
That said, at least having another 20MB of storage space allows me to free up some programs that cannot be installed on the SD card to be installed on the storage space, thus freeing up stroage memory, so that I can tilt the bar to allocate more RAM for program memory.
ROM 1.13 is very stable but no big difference between Radio 1.12 and 1.13. BS is very usefull. I have TT6, WorlMate Pro, SK Tools, Photo Contact and photos, Resco Suite, SPB Pocket Plus, WebIS Pocket Informant, Rings, and Temporay Internet Files all in BS and that leaves me a total of 39.27MB of free RAM. West EU, USA and Canada TT6 Maps are store on a 2GB SD.
I have a question though, I upgraded from ROM 1.11 to 1.13. Now in my old rom, once the phone switched off I could revive it only by pressing the on/off switch but now I can revive it by using any of the phone function keys (dial,disconnect, contacts or calendar). Is this normal?
You must turn on the button block function, on settings.
Yeah I guess another 20MB of memory never hurts ... but I have a 1GB SD card which is only ~ 30% full most of the times ... so I don't really need the extra 20MB. The biggest upside is certain programs will have problem running on memory but is ok (or semi-ok) running on storage memory ... so I'll be able to free up a bit of main memory that way.
How BigStorage helps?
The 20MB may be less but think of SD getting corrup very often. And someone like me depending on data such as SPB Finance and stuff, if SD gets corrupt, all data lost! Biggest nightmare i faced once.
BigStorage space never gets corrupt! and you can use it for stable data. Also for installation of stuffs that takes up lot of space in Main Memory.
For example, pocket music, resco file explorer. If you install Resco FExplorer in BS, you can use it even if you swap memory cards! Make sense?

Last months ive upgraded my magician to BS. After few times playing around, there are some features that are not available on my magician. What's really bugging me, my bluetooth cannot be turned on. It always says "Turn Off Flight Mode First".
So my questions, after upgraded to BS. Which cab files on ExtRom that is compulsary to be installed.
Sorry for my bad english . Thx.
BT functionality is embedded in the radio rom, so there's no need of additional cab files for it to work.
The BT problem you have is a result of a dumb restriction by the OS where you must turn on radio to turn on BT. But if you get any 3rd party BT toggling appz, you can turn BT on / off independent of the radio.

Yup. With 3rd party such as Bluesoleil can activate my BT. So i have to use 3rd party appz? and bchs patch for a2dp depends on the original BT appz. That sucks .
Hello all,
I have 3 problems with my Jasjam and would really appreciate your help with the same:
1] My Hermes seems to be running really slow. I installed Task Manager and even when there are NO programs running the cpu usage is around 50-60%[is this even normal?!]. Also, it gets really slow after i play a couple of games on it and then get back to the main screen. I have 22MB of RAM and 5 MB of onboard memory free. I also have a 2gb microsd card.
Speed is back to normal when i do a softreset.
2] It gets really really slow when i run PocketPlayer or Pocket Music via a2dp and i cannot run any other appz. I have tried both the widcomm and stock bluetooth stacks with my ht820 and the speeds are horrible.Is there any other player that i can try which will significantly improve this situation?
3]I have installed the resco file explorer and can browse the network shared drive on my pc via wifi. The problem is that when i run any video file from the network i keep getting pauses every 10 secs[i am using coreplayer]. TO resume i need to press play again and then it lasts for another 10secs.
Thanks for your help in advance!
BR,

Can you tell us which ROM version you have etc.....we need to know these details.
Hey dude,
I am using the standard stock rom that i got with the phone[ IMate Jasjam].
The about screen says
OS. 5.1.195[Build 14955.2.3.0]
I think it is AKU 2.3
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
