I didn't kill any processes, just shut down tasks Iike active synk or so. I have noticed when playing through speakers CPU load is like 17%, as soon as I turn on bluetooth and headset connects it goes to 100% a second or two then stabilises around 70-80% so you don't want a ton of extra tasks running at the same time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
I'm glad it's working for you, what is the Wiki stereo BT headset? Haven't heard about it before.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Did you try to lower the quality setting with Hermes Tweaker or even turn off the A2DP tweak?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Interestingly, the range on my hs-12w is now about doubled with this technique. I always thought that my range issues had something to do with buffering the stream and this seems to confirm it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Cool! I tried my setup yesterday at the gym with the phone in my gymbag, worked great.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hiryu:
I tried all the quality settings. the A2DP tweak was off the first time I tried, so yes I tried it all.

Right now it's actually the worst I have had, instead of music interrupted by a few seconds of silence, I get silence interrupted by a few seconds of music :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Moskus:
I've set the BitPool to 58 and disabled Joint Stereo, and I have no skipping with a Plantronics Pulsar 590a headset.

I think we're crossing each other somewhere. Magic Button also closes application, so you don't have alot of programs running in the background. I only have Pocket Outlook and ActiveSync running along with WMP.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] soofi1:
Sorry, It is "Wink" communication Stereo BT HS.......Not Wiki as I mentioned, Just 26 US$, where as Nokia HS12W cost me 148 US$. Basically I prefer Wire BT HS (Wink & Nokia both wire HS) , in order to have comfort feeling for continues long use.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] zogzogzog:
It works !!!

Ok, it works now for me too.

No more skipping with my Sony Ericsson BT headset HBH-DSDS970 and no more cpu going down to hell ! The range is very good too !

So wmp + taskmanager = GREAT !

I tried with Coreplayer 1.04 and GSPlayer but I can't use Headset controls. Wmp works better but it's not perfect (no play-pause button).

I tried BT phone speech and it works too !

I'll try Pocket Player 3.01.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Here's an earlier version of the same Taskmgr that I uncovered which can be run with the -m (minimize) option. Works just as well to fix A2DP but now you can put a shortcut in startup to have it in the system tray every time you reset.

update on my research:

There's something very odd about the way this fix works. Taskmgr has to be running in the tray b/f the A2DP stack initializes the first time. This may be why some people are reporting no joy with this solution. Try this attached file and create a shortcut in startup with the -m option. Now soft reset your hermes. Is A2DP fixed now?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobstarina:
Sleuth255,

Installed your version of TaskManager, my TyTN alarms me that this program is for earlier version of WinMobile. Created shortcut so your task manager is goining to tray during startup.

I will try to use A2DP with my Jabra 620s and will write a result.

But...

Can you give us the previous version of Task Manager (for WM5) with ability to run it with -m key?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
This isn't a version I developed. Sorry that I didn't mention that. I've edited my original post to make it a bit more clear. The attachment is actually an earlier version of ITaskmgr that was modified by Mike Welch before there was WM5 to allow -m in the execution. It looks like the development effort on this fork went cold a few years back too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Sometimes the play/pause works fine with wmp sometimes it just stops working. Changing songs allways seem to work fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Did you try to mail the author of Itaskmanger to tro to find out what it is doing? This guy must wonder why suddenly so many are downloading... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Yuichiro Ishitani distributed the source code for ITaskmgr into the public domain. I've found no less than 2 developers who have done spinoffs. I've located the source code and am looking at it now....

edit:

Ok, this taskmanager can be run minimized by using /m as a command line option. However, this doesn't seem to work well, taskmgr isn't allowing the focus to move to the next window in the z-order when run in this manner. I'm looking at the code now...

more edits:

veeeeery interesting. Taskmgr measures cpu load be creating a thread that essentially is an infinite while loop running at idle priority (the more idle the CPU is, the more time the thread gets). It then fires a measure process on a timer that stops the thread then checks to see how much processor time it got in the last interval. The more time the thread gets, the less busy the CPU is. It may actually be this mechanism that's causing A2DP to function....

even more edits:

I can easily create a service dll that will fire up this infinite loop thread. First though I'm modifying taskmgr to not run the thread to see if its actually this mechanism that performs the A2DP magic....

(you guessed it):

yep.... its the infinite loop thread executed at THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE that's doing it. Rem'ing out the resumes for the thread results in a taskmgr that shows 100% cpu utilization (the thread's never getting started so it isn't getting any time) with no effect on A2DP skipping.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
I'm working on a service dll to provide this fix now... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Yoo tha man! :D

Thanks for all yor efforts! Will this service you mention make the phone much slower?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Well lookey here! I've just created a system service that fixes the Hermes A2DP bug! :D:D:D

I'm listening to JB's Savannah Fare You Well off Far Side of the World through my iPAQ headset with nary so much as a hiccough!

Nice work finding the workaround guys! The fact that the taskmanager source code was readily available was icing on the cake!

I'm setting up an install CAB now. I'll start a new thread when I release this free patch within 24 hours. I know it compiled so there will be no bugs, but I want to play with it for a little while..... :)

i cant f'ing believe this worked... out of all the crap i have tried.. i have the 8525 and the ht820.. it did skip for a few minutes, then all of the sudden it was gone... cant wait for the cab to solve this issue!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
hmmm... patch effectiveness verified on Cingular v1.34 as I suspected... tks for the info shogunmark. I'll have the installation cab sometime tomorrow. I've got to quick code up a service starter for it that runs in startup.

One of these days I'll get my hands on a signing cert so I won't need to do this...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
hey no problem, i just have dived into the dll and stuff yet, still at work.. but i still cant believe this worked... i fought with this for months on the wizard, and then when i got my 8525 i was hoping it would go away due to the higher processor... i have finally found a good use for my HT820's instead of using them for phone calls (to many loud metal concerts has resulted in severe hearing loss in my old age of 26)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
If this workaround works, then my little service based patch will too. In fact, the dll will actually work better because I don't periodically stop the thread to sample its proc utilization.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Not at all. THREAD_PROCESS_IDLE is the lowest priority.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:

Will this tweak work on my Universal? (Qtek rom)??????

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
Strange, how does that help? If it runs at lowest priority then maybe other processes get "pushed" higher? Shouldn't upping priority for some services do the same? Because runing idle thread seems like a workaround, not a fix...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
It is a workaround for sure. I'm still not sure why this fixes skipping. Perhaps the HTC techs reading this thread know though and will fix in AKU3.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
I'm interested in this because I'm trying to get CorePlayer to work properly and there are audio/video sync problems, I also hear strange "click" at the moment I start playing the video. I even tried to have that taskman running in background and see if it helps but it doesn't :(

I thought it might be WaveDev.dll causing problems, but changing priority option didn't help. I'm not experienced with windows mobile, I know no other registry settings related to audio.

I am using a T-Mobile SDA Smartphone. Is there a version of the below taskmanager mentioned in this thread working with a Smartphone? I installed it but was not able to "set it to monitor system load".

I only hear skipping when playing BT audio music over the net using Pocket Player UPnP or streaming music from mp3tunes.com. No skipping when playing local mp3 files to my BT device.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fungsaikit:
I really have to say that you are great! I couldn't believe that Task Manager can fix the skipping problem. But it is real! It works! I didn't have any skipping problem for playing more than 5 songs! Before that, it skips every 10 to 20 seconds (very annoying). It is so amazing!

For you to share, I am using my 818 Pro, Fantastic B4 Rom (the A2DP sound quality is the best which I heard so far), Pocket Music and iTech S38 BT handfree.

I am so happy that I can now enjoy good quality music without wire.

Try an emergency restore through Samsung Kies - this should eliminate any software related problem. Sounds to be a hardware problem though so get Triangleaway going and send it for repair if that doesn't work.

I'm currently using the generic AU firmware and i want to know which countries firmware has the fastest and "stable" updates to the device.

And just a few random questions regarding the firmware that you guys are using on your devices:

- Why have you opted to use that firmware for your device?

- What variations in software did you guys notice when you flashed another countries firmware?( eg. the different bloat/preinstalled software on that specific countries firmware)

- Did you see a drastic change in performance when you jumped to another countries z2 firmware ( this question is in regards to .314 to.314 not .55 to .314 etc)

- Why did you opt to use the stock firmware that you received with your device and instead of flashing another countries firmware?

- From what i heard using the flashtool to flash another countries firmware doesn't void you warranty, is this true?

I'm merely interested because i want to have the best experience and have the latest updates as fast as possible without the need to continuously flash different firmwares to get the latest experience.
