we all need extra battery power and the dodocool Portable 12000mAh Power Bank is a perfect choice for your phone/tablet needs. As the owner of a nexus 5/6 as well as a galaxy S4 and a nexus 9 tablet i needed a "all in one" power bank capable of charging a phone and tablet at same time and im happy to say this unit does. At 12,000 mAh theres plenty of power to go around and this unit looks and feels as good as it works with a flat black finish and a chrome bezel around the outside of the unit. there are 4 LEDs that illuminate blue showing how much power is left in the unit and each LED represents 25% so its very easy to see how much juice is left. There are 3 ports at one end and there are clearly marked on bottom of the unit and are 1.0 AMP/2.1 AMP (both output) and in middle of those 2 is your 1.0 AMP input for charging the unit. At 1 AMP the unit charged from 3% to 100% is roughly 13hrs but charging with 2 AMPs i was able to cut that time almost in half and i have used this method for years of charging power banks and never has a issue. In the box was the power bank/owners manual and a 40in usb cable and the weight of the unit is 9 3/4 ounces and has Samsung 18650 Lithium batteries that in my opinion are the best and i have never had a issue wit these batteries in other powerbanks. Unit also has full protection against over-charge / over-discharge / over-current / over-voltage / short-circuit, etc. so that also was a big selling point for me. Here is why you need this unit, i was able to charge my LG Nexus 5 with a 2300mAh battery Three times + 55% remaining on unit and my Galaxy S4 with a 2600mAh battery Three times + 15% remaining on unit so that is impressive.Im very happy with the overall look/feel/price and performance of this dodocool Portable 12000mAh Power Bank and was given this unit for a fair and honest review so with that i see in Amazons product description "3.Build-in white LED Flashlight By long pressing the power button, the flashlight is turned on (Long-press again, off)." and i have other units with this feature and find it very useful but this unit does NOT have this feature and i have contacted dodocool to get confirmation on this and maybe im not seeing it so if needed i will update my review. I gave this unit 5 stars for price and performance and dont think flashlight statement was a error on dodocools end.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] deviusdragger:
Well just when i thought my headset was sounding banging. now im gonna try this. Hope this helps. And awesome job on the findings guys. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sleuth255:
Yeah.... I remember that about bitpool/maxbitpool. Back when A2DP first came out on the Tornado we never set any of these. No values lets it dynamically adjust.

These are great settings btw. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chrisnash:
Well I thought I was happy with my audio but I've just applied the tweaks and I'm listening to my favourite tracks and the improvement is great. youre right, the hiss has gone and although I hadnt thought it that noticeable before, this is so much cleaner.

I have the latest lsvw rom and and am running the new htc audio manager and I didn't think I would ever hear bass on my tytn!

And now I'm listening to my favourite Stevie Wonder track on wmv lossless in WMP and its fab!!!

Interestingly, I've just checked the reg settings after soft reset and the SampleRate key is gone!

I'll reapply it, soft reset and see what happens.

Many thanks for the info.

Can post a A2DP patch from the recent WM6 ROM?

Can Sleuth255 or anyone bless us, the poor smartphone users here who still suffer the 'hiss', by posting a A2DP patch from the latest WM6 ROM (like the previous Tornado A2DP patch) to install in our outdated WM5 devices? Please. The entire smartphone community here will thank you, if the patch free us from the terrible 'hiss' problem in WM5 roms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Ender666666:
PURE BRILLIANCE!!! I tolerated the hiss before as this device was my first with A2DP and I likened it to listening to the radio, but HOT DAMN it sounds fan-freakin'-tastic now!

Can anyone make a CAB file for this to make the edit easier for the general public?

We'd have to graft the entire bt stack onto WM5.... not an impossible task I suppose but not an easy one either....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Great work on this, hardcore.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] basilrsa:
Well done Hardcore!!!!!!!

I have personally never had problems with quality on A2DP.

Sleuth 255 provided the fix with the earlier WM5 OS.

From AKU 3.3.1 the only registry fix was to set the Joint Stereo to 0

I had no problems with WM6 but the later releases definately had great improvements to the total BT stacks.

Well I am always ready to try new work by the members and respected cooks on this Forum.

Your work on the A2DP has blown me away!

The sound is phenominal to say the least.

I use Nokia HS-12W and HTC BH S100 BT Stereo headsets and both are great. But I must admit that the Nokia has the edge all round. Connect and all functions work great. With the HTC I always have to reset the "set as handsfree"connection to pick to the phone side through BT. The A2DP connects automatically. Just a small issue but irritating.

I could not do your edits with Resco and then tried TaskManager reg editor.

The changes would not stick on soft resetting using the phones reset switch.

Eventually I twigged that I could make the changes stick by using the TaskManager reset button in the program.

Thanks for the info. - this is really what XDA is all about!

Keep up the good work and I repeat the call for a cab fix. This will make your fix non lethal to noobs who are not fimiliar with reg editing.

Hi Hardcore,

Is Core2.0 considered a later WM6 ROM? Coz, Setting UseJointStereo to 1 does get rid of the hissing but unfortunately it also get rid of the Stereo on my Wizard...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
Halleluja! PTL!!

Excellent discovery, hardcore. After months of experimentation and cussing and swearing, this is the closest that my TyTN/Logitech FreePulse combo has come to perfect stereo audio. Still not as good as when I paired the FreePulse with an HP iPAQ with the Widcomm stack, but pretty damn close. I still get pops and clicks, which was new with WM6, but no skips or other artifacts. And I was almost ready to give up and look for another pair of BT headphones.

Interestingly, I did try removing the BitPool and MaxSupportedBitPool settings at some point during my experimentation, but this was either with an earlier WM6 build or with WM5.0, and the net result was no audio at all.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Hi new2city,

What you described is the behaviour of the older ROMs. In the newer ROMS, you should get real stereo sound with UseJointStereo=1.

These are the Hermes WM6 ROMs I have tried which have the "good" A2DP: Black 2.5/3.0/3.0.1, CUSTEL 2.5, LVSW 05-07 and newer LVSW derivatives.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] porkchop83:
excellet work .... no hissing now

how do i fix this??

anyway when connected with A2DP mode, all incoming call ringtone will play to the stereo headset and the phone will not ring at all, (its as though the ringtone is diverted to the phone)

but if i switch it to headset mode (not A2DP), the ringtone will play on the phone and the headset with play a beep sound for incoming call.

I want it to be connected to a2dp and yet the ringtone still ring on my dopod phone...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] new2city:
Hi Hardcore,

Just one question, in the Hermes, do you have the usual bluetooth dlls? SBC.dll, bta2dp.dll and so on? If so, any chance to upload them? I asked this before once almost a year ago but no one offered them... sigh...

Downloading Custel to hopefully extract the files.. gonna take a while...

thanks anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Yes the sbc.dll and a2dp.dll exist in the ROM. However, I dont know how to copy them out from the ROM. Attempts to do it using Total Commander and Activesync have failed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] new2city:
Got the dll's out of the Custel ROM I downloaded but unfortunately, I can't seem to replace the versions in my running rom as the files can't be overwritten OR copied in the windows folder. Any guys with a clearer picture willing to lend a hand. Been trying to fix this since I joined this forum...

@Mods,

I think should this thread should be a sticky.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mako111:
Tried these settings with my HERMES using a Sony HBH-DS970 (using Black 3.5 ROM). The UseJointStereo setting was set to 1 by default. I removed BitPool and MaxSupportedBitPool - this didn't make any noticeable difference.

Sound quality is just fine, however I get the pause every 60 seconds or so. Has anyone had success with the HBH-DS970?

Dbaser doesn't give much hope for these headphones over at http://www.4winmobile.com/viewtopic.php?p=62709#62709
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] X_Farhad:
@mako111: just install Slueth's A2DP patch, there'll be no more skips ;-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] basilrsa:
Find that your settings dont "stick" after a reset?

Make sure you reset the phone like this: After making changes to the registry, exit your registry editor. Then push the power button of your phone (putting it into standby, with the screen off). Wait for about 10 seconds (the phone will be saving the data to disk during this time), and only after that push the reset button.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for that advice. I eventually got my changes to stick , but by another method posted previously.

what can i say ....

.... except fantastic.....

... finally my phone sounds like an mp3 player!!

.. I stuck with bluetooth (I'm using a plantronics pulsar 260) because the 2.5 mm audio out socket on my old wizard died on me and at the time this was a cheaper option than a new phone.

Thanks for curious minds.

A2DP problems with video=choppy performance

Friends, I have searched and googled and found other phones have this issue of playing videos and streaming audio over BT, but have not found any solutions.

My audio sounds great (especially with all the tweaks), but as soon as I play a video file (I usually watch podcasts like Crankygeeks or DL.TV which are downloaded and encoded via Windows Mediaplayer before syncing to my 8525) ...I get very choppy performance and frame rate drop when ONLY listening using BT headphones. As soon as I shut off BT and play through the speaker, all plays fine and smooth and framerate is normal, so it is like the processor is overwhelmed.

Does anyone know of any tweaks to fix this? Currently I am using Elf's 2.1, but this also happened with Fario's custom and Black Dymond roms too. It does it when nothing else is running and I have tested right after a clean installs.

I am using WM player as CoreCodec player does not see my WMV files for some reason.

Any ideas....thanks in advance.

That's no wonder if you have the Nokia HS-12W ;) (it has always been 100% compatible with the MS BT stack, unlike the vast majority of other headphones - dunno about the HTC BH S100 though. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296770 for more info if interested).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Menneisyys:
Some reports on my WM6 Standard (Smartphone) HTC Vox: the sound quality remained the same as with the hacks discussed at http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=254179 . All this with the Pulsar 590A; on other headphones, there may be differences.

That is, the Widcomm is still better, even if the MS stack is getting closer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
I have the Nokia BH-500, and can say for sure that it had the same hissing problems with the MS BT stack, up until the latest WM5 and WM6 AKUs.

I think the problem with the hissing in earlier AKUs was simply that the Joint Stereo function in the MS BT stack was broken. As a result, the hacks that the community has implemented were to set the stack to disable JS for "true" stereo, but due to the bandwidth limitations of A2DP/BT and the low complexity of the SBC codec, it could never have produced an acceptable sound quality without the additional compression that can only be achieved using JS.

Finally MS must have realized this and fixed the Joint Stereo in the stack, and now the quality is as good as it should be. I dont think it can get significantly better with the Widcomm stack. The only variable remaining would be the quality of the SBC encoder of MS vs Widcomm, and differences would be minor.

As a reference for comparison, my BH-500 headset comes with a Nokia USB adaptor, which I can plug into my PC (the PC detects it as a USB soundcard), and which streams the music wirelessly to the headset. It would be a reasonable assumption that this setup would produce the best possible quality you can get out of A2DP (no stack compatibility problems, since there is no BT stack involved on the PC). With JS enabled, the WM6 A2DP sound quality is virtually identical to the Nokia USB adaptor. So MS did something right in the current stack.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Menneisyys:
Thanks for pointing this out. I wouldn't have thought Nokia uses different electronics in their BH-500 than in their 12W. I've thoroughly tested the latter and found it working with excellent, flawless sound quality, even with disabled Joint Stereo (read: older MS BT stacks).

Well, with my 590A, the differences are pretty easy to hear partiuclarly in titles with humans singing. The BH-500 may be a different animal - after all, the A2DP compatibility of the current headsets varies greatly. This is why, for example, the Pulsar 260 hasn't ever been able to deliver aceptable sound quality with the MS BT stack (haven't tested it with the latest WM6 ROM's though - only without joint stereo), while it's pretty OK with the Widcomm BT stack. The Nokia 12W, on the other hand, is compatible with both stacks and delivers exactly the same sound quality (even without joint stereo).

The BH-500 may be a different animal. Again, as headphones radically differ in compatibility, one can't really state enabling Joint Stereo does (or doesn't) result in a dramatical quality increase in ALL headphones. I'm absolutely sure the sound quality increase is pretty much negligible (if at all) with the 590A, but this, of course, doesn't mean the same is the case with all other headphones.

Guys, I've published an article on this subject; see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=310438
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Good stuff man. Spread the word!

BTW, since you're also an audiophile, I wonder if you notice any difference in WM6 for the MS BT stack, when setting the SampleRate to 48000, vs the default (SampleRate 44100). I find that the 48000 value performs better - there seems to be less hissing / audible artifacts. Not sure why, since logically 44100 should avoid resampling.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] new2city:
Hey Hardcore,

I am not really sure but right now I am on Pandora's 2.22beta for the Wizard which is based on mUn's 5.2.1413, so far on this ROM I have tried the settings you suggested, and yes, UseJointStereo=1 is still basically stereo but unfortunately the hissing is still there, even with SampleRate at 48000

I guess it must be my fussy Itech S35 then... but just to confirm with you, I think this ROM should be with the latest MS stack right? OR should I continue my search for a newer and better MS stack....

any other suggestions..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Menneisyys:
I couldn't really notice any difference with the 590A. This MAY be caused by the particular headphones model and MAY work different with other headphones model.

There is still some hissing (distortion) compared to the Widcomm implementation, but now it's acceptable for me (unlike with previous, pre-WM6 implementations).

Dumped the A2DP dlls from the Dopod Vox rom

Attached are dumped A2DP dlls from the Dopod Vox WWE rom. But when i copied these to my \windows folder of my startrek, found A2DP didn't work (music via WMP came from the external speaker). I think these dlls can't be straightly used in their original dumped form and may require some hex editing and cert signing to work. Could someone help to make the dlls working or come up with CABs like the previous tornado patch?

Problems after applying suggested tweaks

After applying the suggested registry settings, I'm left with two problems. First the sound quality improved considerably, but after a soft reset I only have mono sound. This was reported earlier by new2city.

Also for some reason the button on my HBH-DS970, which i used to start voice command with, now starts the phone, and only by turning bluetooth off and on, i get the the control back to listen to MP3's.

The ROM i use is a wizard variety called Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.

Any help would greatly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:
Hi new2city, unfortunately I only have a Hermes to try this out with, and on the newer Hermes WM6 ROMs (the last 2 LVSW and variants, as well as Black 2.5 onwards), the A2DP has been working great. Don't know about the Wizard.

Did you make sure to remove the BitPool values from the registry? (if you don't remove them, they limit the quality)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hardcore:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
With the three fixes and Sleuth´s A2DP fix for fixing skipping sound is quite good on the HBH-DS970. Sounds even better then when I tried the Widcom stack.

I would certainly not call it flawless, but this is probaly as good as it will ever get with todays standards. Wired headphones are still way superior in sound quality.

Your post is the first response I think I have had. I still get it, just less evident using the Black Shadow rom for some reason. I hope someone has an idea how to tweak the settings for bluetooth and video.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dishe:
Then you've never heard A2DP properly.

My logitech wireless ipod headphones paired with my Windows Mobile device sound better than most wired headphones I've owned (save for very expensive senheisers, but they cost most than any wireless headphones so its to be expected!).

Remember, its certain headsets that have this problem, whereas other (like the logitech ones) work flawlessly and sound great even with the first A2DP for tornado patch. It could be the wireless headphones you're using sound bad. No reason to judge the technology based on that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
Sounds strange to me that a lower priced A2DP headset would sound better then same priced wired headphones. Without tweaking A2DP in WM6 it would sound horrible on all headsets. Good for you that Logitech has such good quality. I would say HBH-DS970 is outperformed by wired earplugs for about 20% of the price.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
Unfortunately Logitech took a step backwards when they replaced their iPod headphones with the "second generation" FreePulse ones. My Logitech iPod headphones worked beautifully with my Wizard with the AKU that supported A2DP (can't remember which one it was). However, the FreePulse headphones with my TyTN, although "almost there" with this tweak, still have the occasional skip and I also hear static-like pops and crackles (just like old fashioned vinyl records) with WM6 that I didn't have with WM5.0. If it wasn't for Sleuth's A2DP Fix, I wouldn't be able to use them at all.

I didn't think that this was hardware related at first, because the same FreePulse headphones connecting via A2DP to an iPaq running the Widcomm stack sound absolutely heavenly. But now I think I am convinced, it is hardware related: Specifically certain headphones AND the Hermes. The same headphones may work fine with another device, but with the Hermes, no luck. I am about to go out and buy a Sony DR-BT21G to see if it is any better.
