XDA 2 / SanDisk SD Wi-Fi = Streaming Audio Bad

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems streaming Audio
using the SanDisk Wi-Fi SD Card. The problem I have is that it seems the data/audio stream keeps corrupting , as in the sound keeps clicking ever 3-4 seconds , I have tried this on a number of streaming sites and get the same results , I tried this on my old Ipaq 5450 and the stream is crystal clear no drops at all. The Player i am using is Gplayer which is freeware and works wells , the streaming site i am trying to connect to is
h**p://www.somafm.com ( Great music by the way ) , any help would be greatfully accepted.
Regards
RF

This issue has been around for a while now and it happens on mine as well. It seems this is a defect present on all XDAII's.

I had the same problem when I used gsplayer, works fine with pocket music (with the feature pack, the freeware version doesn't support streaming)

O2 XDA II audio patch
Try installing this. This came from O2 U.K.

Thanks
Many thanks to all who have replied , I have now d/loaded Pocket Music and will try it out when I get home.

Hi,
I am also having the same problems. Its a similar setup ie sandisk sd wifi and wireless broadband router. I have tried installing the audio patch and tried pocket music, but it still skips. Any more ideas?

try increasing the read file cache (player options, general) I've got mine set at 2 meg, and also in player options, streaming increase the buffer , mines at 128k buffer, 25% prebuffer and 50% after underrun,
Streams fine both of pc via network share and from internet radio.
You will always get some internet staions that "drop out", but i get that on my pc as well so..........

I'm not sure if this can help improve things, but there is a free application called GB-Soft Tweak for WM2K3 Phone Edition that may fix this streaming problem.
I have not test it yet since my brand new socket SD WiFi is on it's way but it's worth a try.
It has an option that reads:
Higher priority for audio media streaming -> eliminate clicks (till after soft reset)
Good luck!

SD CARD problem

hope someone could help...
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
www.GB-SOFT.cz/XDAII
and setting audio streaming prioity up also helps alot

thank you sooo much it worked.

Pocket hack master on SD card or main memory?

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

This ROM is not bad at all. Is it a real 6.1 ROM?
The Good:
1) BT Stack good. I've used my S9 stereo headset and there's no problems so far. Music plays well.
2) Very fast and stable. No problems scrolling while browsing using PIE.
3) Very Clean ROM
The Bad:
1) I have not found a streaming media player that works with it. I've tried TCPMP and the HTC Streaming Media Player. I cannot play youtube videos. Any clues on how to do this with WM6.1
2) When I try to update the library in WMP to include songs on my SD card, I end up with not only songs but all ringtones, etc. in the library.
Nice Job dude.

Really nice 6.1 rom? 0_o

This ROM working fast. Cool! But:
1. My PC (WinXP SP2) can't find driver for BA, ActiveSync installed.
2. Some several programs don't start up. (popup window with "The file 'mchat' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate..."
Can anybody help me with this problems?
PS: Sorry for bad english.

nice to see you in our forum, thanx for ur great ROM and support. I have a question regarding the battery drain, i have a brand new battery but it lasts only for 12-18 hours with usual phone usage and GPRS always connected (for exchange server), is it normal or i have a problem?

Backlight not working
Love this rom. The only issue I have found so far is my backlight not working. When I soft reset, backlight is on. As soon as it boots into the rom, the backlight is off. Have checked settings, pressed and held power button (to turn on backlight) but nothing I do seems to turn the backlight on.
Anyone else with this issue?

second hard reset fixed the backlight problem
Please disregard my last post. did a second hard reset - this fixed baclight problem!

hmmm...might give it a try...while waiting for xplode's release

can any body uplaod it some where else
pleeeeease

I have not flashed the new rom, but I guess since this is independent from the rom itself, it should work ok. Enjoy!

Thanks. I think I've tried that video bundle. But I'll give it another go just to be sure.
PDAVIET:
I know that Helmi, Xplode, and others have made lots of contributions to the BA. I know this ROM would not exist without their work also. Nevertheless this ROM is simply rocks. Possibly the best ROM for BA yet. The more I use it the more I like it.
1) It connects quickly to WiFi. If the device is turned off, the WiFi goes off. But when the device is turned on again later, the WiFi springs to life and connects. With other BA ROMs, I had to go to the wireless manager page to restart WiFi.
2) The Bluetooth has fantastic sound. Better yet, it stays on when the device is shut off so that I can use a BT headset reliably. Some earlier ROMs had to keep waking up to keep the BT going. This was very annoying.
3) The 6.1 is very stable and fast. I haven't had to do any resets so far.
I am finding some programs won't load. I get errors like "Not Signed or Bad Certificate". Is there any way around this?

Can you post which programs are not running? I believe that I saw a patch for the Certificates error somewhere in the Development and Hacking section. However, I am not sure if these patches are program specific.

i hope that u upload it to another site such as megashare
thanks

Sound lag when listening to music

When playing music I often get small breaks during MP3 playback. Half a second of silence or something like that at random times about 5 minutes apart.
It does not matter what player software I use. This problem is also very common among the HTC Diamond users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412065 .
Do you have the same problem? I bet you do .

strange, ive been using my phone everyday as an mp3 player and i havent heard it skip even once.
Does it lag with every song, or are there specific songs where it lags. Are there any that absolutely never lag? Also what kind of headset do you use for listening?
edit> Also, what ROM are you using?

It is not really a skip, it is just a very short pause. You would not notice it in noisy environment. I tried 320bps, 192 bps, 128bps. Everything the same, lower bps are little bit better. It also helped if I set playback priority to higher (in MortPlayer or CorePlayer), but it did not solve it.
It seems like some higher priority process tries to do something and at that point sound lags.
It does not matter if I use headset or play on speaker.
I have this ROM:
ROM version: 1.40.401.2 (21259)
Radio: 0.27.30.09
Protocol version: 12.27.30.09W

strange very strange, i use my jade about 2h a day as mp3 player and i never have that kind of problem..
i generally use the default player... try with that a tell us it works...
ciao

I have the same problem.. But only when i'm using my bluetooth A2DP headset. Seems to get worse when i "move" my phone quickly, like when i'm running or riding a bike and the phone is in my pocket. I also experience random speedsups after the music skips, like the media player is trying to catch up or something..

I use a bluetooth headset too, and no problems, even when ive got several things running at the same time. Maybe its a ROM problem. I can imagine it being real annoying but its not something all of us have so i would just try to get it fixed or get a new one.
btw my ROM is version 1.40.401.2(21259)

Same problem here!

Please write to HTC about this problem. If they tell you they do not know about this problem, they would LIE, because I did tell them .
I found a way around this: Use Windows Media Player only for playing MP3 files. WMP is a pain, but it works.

From HTC Support center !!!
Dear valued HTC customer, Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns. You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your Touch 3G. To clarify your issue, you stated that you are experiencing pauses when listening to music on the device. I recommend you synchronise the music on your device by using Windows Media Player 11 on your computer. Also, I recommend you test mp3-files on the device. If this has no effect, I recommend you perform a hard reset as this might be a software issue. A hard reset will delete all data on the device and reinstall Windows Mobile. We recommend you do backup of the data on the device before attempting a hard reset. If you have an encrypted memory card in your device, we advise you turn off encryption before doing a hard reset. To do a hard reset, go to Start - Settings - System tab - Clear storage. Here you will be asked to type 1234 in the box and press Yes. This will start the reinstallation process. If the above steps do not resolve your issue, we invite you to visit the support area on our Web site.

Hi
Is music stored on Micro SD card? If yes try storing on internal memory, if OK playing from onboard memory then suggest reformating card. I had performance issues with card when using apps that continually transfering data from card, would get "lag", but browsing card etc. was fine. Formatted as FAT32 in windows using USB card reader and then all OK.

Hey fenikso!
I'm sorry, but I never discovered a problem as per description. Not tested A2DP yet. I always store my music files on sd card, I think like the most of us. Runs perfectly.
I`ve formatted my sd card as the FAT ( not FAT32 ) system. Maybe your solution of the problem?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Bump-ti-bump.
Still experiencing this problem. Haven't upgraded to the lastest official rom for the Jade, will try that and see how it goes. With a wired headset, the problem doesn't present itself, so i guess that rules out the micro-sd card inside the phone.

do have exactly the same problem, but reversed. while i was using bluetooth headset, never experienced audio lag. Then BT headset died, bought PortaPro, and here we are... contacted HTC support, told them about, they want me to do hard reset and stuff... when i pointed them to this forum, as this problem seems to be related to many new HTC models, and they did not contacted me since then.
So i listen to music with gaps...
