Sorry I wasn't able to work on this at all today

I was busy dieing of extreme heat

I didn't install my ac last night so I got no sleep and then it was too damn hot to be moving my ac from storage so I was jus dead tired and hot and lazying around all day
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
It's fine dude. :D
[Xoom General] jhax01:
For whatever reason, when I use my Bluetooth headset for audio while watching a video, it causes the video to stutter. It's watchable, but really annoying. The same videos have no issues on wired headphones or the external speakers. Anybody else having this problem? If not, any guesses on fixing it? I have a 3g Xoom on stock 3.1.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Finally, someone else acknowledging this problem. I started a similar thread a while back and it went nowhere - only solution suggested to me was to try overclocking - so I went ahead and installed Tiamat Kernel and overclocked - and no change - still got stuttering video when using bluetooth.

This problem really drove me crazy at first. Spent ages re-encoding my videos thinking it was a problem with the video itself. Then one day I forgot to charge my BT headphones, and was forced to use wired headphones and the video played perfectly. Thats when I realized what the problem was. Since then I have only been using wired headphones to watch movies and have been using my BT headphones only for video podcasts where I don't care about slowdown. Wish there was a solution. I really miss my wireless headphones for movies.

Anyway its nice to see someone else has made the same observation. I was really perplexed that no one else seemed to be bothered by this problem.
[Xoom General] jhax01:
Bummer! I was hoping my problem was an isolated one that could be fixed with a reset or something. Guess I'll just start carrying ear buds around and save the headset for music.... Thanks for the reply!
[Xoom General] CyberChulo:
I have a similar issue that I posted in the Q&A section but no real replies. For example when I turn on bluetooth to stream my music to a bluetooth receiver, I cannot surf the web at the same time because it's really slow to load pages. Once I turn off bluetooth, the wifi works at full speed.

It's pretty bad to the point where the page that I am trying to load actually times out. I thought it was my Xoom that was an issue but apparently not. It's impossible to use something like Audiogalaxy to stream music from my computer and transmit it using bluetooth. The constant fighting for wireless/bluetooth signal creates pauses and gaps. I'm thinking the same is happening to your video. Can any one confirm that this happens with another brand tablet? I have until June 13th to return this to Amazon. I already pre ordered the Galaxy 10.1 but would rather keep the Xoom with the expansion slots and usb port if I can.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
I can confirm that this BT - video slowdown doesn't happen with my Galaxy Tab 7 which is a single core running android 2.2. So it makes no sense that using BT should demand so many resources that it brings a dual-core HC tablet to a crawl.
[Xoom General] CyberChulo:
Correct. Do you mind streaming music from your Xoom to your headphones and go to a sight like Engadget to see if it is able to load the entire page?
[Xoom General] vidriera:
I haven't ever really watched a video with bt headphones, but I use them all every day when listening to music on my Galaxy S and I can say that I get really ****ty network performance for web browsing, and that my phone is noticeably slower while I'm using the bt headphones. This has been the case on two different 2.2 roms and on 2.3.3.

I haven't tried these headphones on the xoom so I can't say there, but at least it's not the only device with BT issues.
[Xoom General] poorman:
I'm still having this problem...anyone else?
[Xoom General] black05x5:
I'm having the same problem. Get random pauses and freezing. Guess I'm switching back to wired headphones.
[Xoom General] brandogg:
Hmmm...I haven't noticed this issue. I watched Thor in 720p using the HDMI output to my TV and my bluetooth headphones the other night...no freezing or stuttering.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
The problem is that BT and WiFi both use the same frequency band, and as such the WiFi/BT chip has to switch control of the (same) antenna between both halves of the chip. Now, BT audio (A2DP) is a stream, so when the WiFi/BT chip has to snatch away the antenna for WiFi (even if you're not actively using it, there's periodic stuff like beacon frames and background data, etc.) the stream gets interrupted from time-to-time, and because the audio system- which gates the playback of video streams- gets "bunched up" with data that couldn't be sent while the antenna's switched to WiFi, sometimes you get these pauses.

It's not really a CPU or processing-power issue.

When I watch movies on the plane thru BT headphones (and WiFi is off), I never get any stutters. I suspect if you turn off WiFi it'll smooth it out.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fireminion:
Can someone port this to BAMF GB? I tried using that one but it screwed up my phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'm pretty sure HTC knows how we feel and doesn't give a ****.

What we need is for the WORLD to know how WE feel and then put a skeptical eye on HTC to see what they do...that's the only way HTC will do the right thing. They already knew how we would feel, they certainly know how we do feel...and I doubt they care.

But if we take this to the biggest stages we can find and get a wider audience to hear what is going on then HTC has to respond on to the wider audience....which they will care about. They have already demonstrated they don't care about our tiny little corner of the internet.

1.) I e-mailed Android Central to follow this. I expected they would already, but I guess they are scared to death of losing out on any industry freebies and hookups they may have. Others should follow suit and get them to follow this

2.) Everybody submit this to Slashdot.org as well. a Huge readership over there that would care about our plight. Don't just submit the 'why' we are upset but links to tweets, message boards and htc's facebook to show the how upset we are and how many of us there are.

3.) Any other media outlet that may care. Try to keep from getting too 'nerdy', don't get into crypto-signed bootloader talk....just say "encrypted the phone so we can't install whatever software we want"

4.) Bomb Google searches, make a trend. Same for twitter.

5.) Be tasteful and grownup. Don't hurl insults, don't just bomb someones email, don't DDOS. Just spread our plight to a larger audience and then HTC has to answer to EVERYONE (not just us) with their actions....as opposed to what they will answer just us with--inaction.

We just have to keep up the pressure and get word out through as many outlets as possible. This is a corporate "bottom line" issue, and they will take notice when things keep snowballing.

1000 people per hour, if not more, click like HTC on Facebook just to protest, we have to keep spreading the word, and organizing as much of a backlash through as many channels as possible.

Keep up the good work guys.

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Awesome. I'm just kiddin' around.

This is srs bsns for me. Hell, if we actually accomplish this it will be impossible for any but the most marginalized manufacturers to pull this ever again.....this could establish a precedent...."Well _HTC_ opened up their phones...." So everyone else has to or, well, all the sales go to HTC and/or anyone else open.

At the most....

at the least we are just as screwed as we were before and have to get SGS2...._shudder_.....or cope with no CM7, MIUI, decks, custom kernels....nah, I won't do that....one step above 'the least' is we get this phone cracked wide open from leaked ENG RUU for 'one last time' but HTC doesn't change anything in the future.

I totally fear a future where you can't be in control of your own hardware that you purchase. Geeks have been warning of that for not years but OVER A DECADE. But someone was always like "oh you geeks and your slippery slope theories...it'll never get _that_ bad"....and here we are, fighting for our own fncking hardware we pay cash for.

virus kingdom port b112
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I believe facebook will be the main source of getting the word out. Facebook is visited by EVERYBODY. This website and websites like android central are usually only visited by nerds like us. Most people don't know what rooting is but once people see all those comments on their wall they will start to question what is going on.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I'm willing to put money on more people going to slashdot.org than HTC's facebook page on any given day....hell, I'm willing to bet that more people go to any given link on slashdot.org than HTC's facebook page....perhaps by an order of magnitude or two. Yeah, seriously.

Now, chances are the people on slashdot.org are already nerds and already very aware of our concerns....so....either you get 1/25th of the people seeing it...or you get 25 times more people seeing it but they will all be like "derp, I know...sux"

I'll take my chances with getting on slashdot's front page. "getting slashdotted" is a thing that takes down all but tier 1 servers.... getting "HTC's facebook paged" wouldn't really even take down a geocities page.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I never even heard of slashdot... :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] test878:
The way I see it is that facebook is where we should send people to voice their opinions to htc, as almost everyone has a facebook account and thats the easiest way for htc to see our response. And the way we inform them of the protest is through other tech/news communities/sites.

So if you submit a tip to a website about the protest, try to include the htc facebook page so it gets published and more people post there. If we get all the top phone and tech sites to publish it, we can make htc squirm and change their ways.

So when millions of people see a HTC and how they are doing there most die hard fans aka the devs and there communities they may relook at this ... We hope

And they wont say anything specific unless they find a way to make a compromise or give in. As admitting that they wont change it would REALLY piss people off.

I honestly dont see them keeping the bootloader locked as this is getting publicity everywhere and people keep coming out of the woodwork stating how upset they are over it. But if they do give in, I'd expect a response in a couple days, as this isnt something you just decide and change overnight.

[HTC EVO 3D] eternalhate:
Haha. This is turning out to be fun. I am scaring n00bs everywhere - I am telling them HTC might be stealing their personal info and that is why the bootloader is locked.

Since HTC doesn't care about me, I shouldn't care about them either! Nothing's worse than an FUD campaign by users.

People, keep the fight on. Post on every HTC review you see (youtube, engadget etc)
[HTC EVO 3D] test878:
thats stupid as hell. You arent helping anyone by spreading lies about htc.
[HTC EVO 3D] eternalhate:
It's not a lie. It is a speculation.

Let us assume:

(1) I do not know what the HTC ROM does.

(2) I consider custom ROMs to be more secure.

It basically implies that a locked bootloader implies HTC is stealing your data! (of course, in my opinion).

If HTC cared about me (the pro-user), I would have used more diligence in my thought process, and would have come to a more reasonable conclusion. Since HTC isn't caring about me, I am not obliged to use good judgement either.

There is a difference between lying, and concealing information. I am doing the latter.
