I use headphones or a Sound-freq speaker when watching movies and videos.When using BS player the video and sound do not sync up.If using the gallery player everything syncs up well on both headphones and speakers..Is there a way to sync up the bs player as well?It handles more formats and I like the extra volume and brightness controls on it. thanks

i don't know what BS player is, but this is a common issues across multiple applications. it has to do with BT hardware, the application, BT priority and sound quality.
I have watched several streaming video types using my Potato Tunelink BT adapter. Netflix is by far the worst offender. Off by an entire half-second. Hulu streams great, YouTube has a slight delay. Crackle is about a split off.
If you want quality audio, use the audio port.
BTW, this is true of ANY device. My DROID3/4 both exhibited the same qualities. I thought it was a limitation of the phone. Faster devices do decrease latency, but if the latency exists, it's built into the application.
Maybe I could have been more clear on what I was asking. sorry
I know the problem is there but the BSplayer can be adjusted for audio offset to compensate for the lag.I just can't seem to find out how to do so.The gallery player seems to do it automatically because it always works whether playing files on the device or streaming from my computer or elsewhere. I would like someone to tell me how to adjust this in the BSplayer app. thanks

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)
This just on a select group of my videos, but a few of them don't have audio working in the stock video player and Act I. The video goes, but not the audio.
In Rockstar Player, the suspect videos played just fine.
Any reason why this might have happened and how to fix it?
my guess is that the suspect videos are coded in 5.1 or 6.1 surround. The stock media player doesn't support this. You could demux the audio to 2 channel and they will probably play fine.
I thought about this. It shows it as 2 channels, so that can't be it.
The audio bit rate could be out of range for the internal decoder. Try checking that. Other than that, I dunno.
So I have been spending several hours trying to figure out how to stream videos from my Windows 7 PC to my nexus 7
Currently I stream videos to my PS3 using WMP and everything works perfect no issues at all.
I have been trying to find the perfect app to do this.
I first tried http://www.aviatheapp.com/index.html
While it connects to my PC and plays the video perfectly fine no audio is ever played, these are mpg files. I tried about 5 differnt ones and all the same.
So then I tried BubbleUPnP, along with an external player like BS Player or Dice and it works I can get audio and it plays video, but for some odd reason the audio is super low out of the speakers even at max, you can barely hear it. If I plug in headphones audio seems to be fine.
I also tried Plex Media Center/Server and I get the same thing.
Now if I play a video that is stored locally on my sdcard in any player the video is perfect out of the speakers.
I am really confused and wondering what do you guys do and do you have audio problems?
What do people think is the best music player for the V20 for regular flac files, not high res? And do you use special settings?
PowerAmp

Any particular settings you prefer on PowerAmp? Like DVC, resampler etc?
So I compared Poweramp (With SoX resampler enabled) with the LG Music App, playing Dire Straits "The man's too strong" and the music sounded clearer and fuller with the LG App (44 KHz 1469 KBPS). I ended up enabling Direct Volume Control on PowerAmp and that improved it.
I do have DVC selected for headphone and BT. Crossfade @ 3000ms and gapless. The equalizer and preamp settings work great. I also save preset equalizer settings for use depending on what vehicle I am driving. I only use wired connections as I can't stand the sound quality of ANY audio player using BT.
If your download and store your music locally from Amazon it will find it(No player can access cloud to my knowledge.). It does not work with downloaded Google Play music in my experience due to the unconventional file naming Google uses(I havent tried lately though.)
I've been using the paid version of PowerAmp since my HTC Evo. Its worth every penny. I have yet to find a better app for music.
Neutron is good it processes the music at 64 bit if you enable it.
Also if you have the v10 dac fix on Google play the dac will work with all apps not just lg

I just thought I'd mention it but I personally like the layout of PlayerPro a little better than PowerAmp, I bought them both years ago and I think it's well worth having both of them but I'm not an audiophile by any stretch though either.
I have a question about the v10 dac fix if you wouldn't mind because I'm still confused about it, I was under the impression that if you have a higher end set of headphones or earphones it should kick in the dac no matter what music player you use, so I guess that's incorrect then? Also are there any visual clues that the dac is working? And what exactly is causing the volume controls to switch where it says "HI-FI"? I thought that meant dac was enabled and if so that happens whenever I plug in my headphones no matter what music player I'm using even though I've never installed the v10 dac fix?
