Of course, but sometimes it works fine when the changes are minor. The latest ROM's changelog was small, as it seems Mike was focusing his attention on getting a few things just fixed up really really well. I was hoping it could have been cabbed, but... Ah well, I guess I can't have a cab for everything. Sometimes you just gotta sucks it up and reinstall...

It turns out it was a bad device. I exchanged it and never had BT problems again.

I don't know if that's your problem, as I imagine there are numerous factors that could cause audio to cut out randomly.
The timing just seems to be interesting, since they didn't occur before I upgraded to the 032310 mightyrom. Makes me think it might be either related to the 2.5 or the change away from the microsoft bluetooth stack. Of course, the timing could be entirely coincidental, I'll have to see if I can find out if it's a device issue or not.

Re: ║MightyROM.com║ ║Windows Phone®║ ║Update Now Available!║

As with Any 6.5.x builds, there will be glitches.. FF has been very stable and people here have been more than satisfied with it. It provides a different taskbar, threaded email, menu at the bottom and the stability of MR.

Try it yourself and figure out if you like it.. If you don't you can always go back to where you were.

Re: ║MightyROM.com║ ║Windows Phone®║ ║Update Now Available!║

Im running FF and it seems like everyone else is getting good battery life. So I'm wondering if anyone uses the NRG rom battery cabs on the FF rom and it still has good battery life. I'm trying to find the cause as to where the battery drainage is coming from? Looking at the battery monitor I have a discharge current ranging from 150-300 mA but usually is at 260 mA.

Using bluetooth radio in car, and using phone as media player. Audio cuts out randomly, it doesn't freeze as the song keeps playing, just goes silent. Anyone have any ideas as to the cause?
Oh yes - well known issue depending on the BT head unit you're using. I have researched this to my wits end. The issue is - pausing is taking place to change the BT bitrate or otherwise sound quality of the stream. If you listen, you'll notice that after the pause - music quality drops. Then it goes back, then will pause and drop again. Also (if you're using a Kenwood HU with Parrot BT) you'll notice that initial sound is not that great to begin with. So here are the tweaks that, for the most part, have fixed this issue:

**Set initial line speed to sound quality that is tolerable**

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV\LineSpeed = 256 (DWORD)

The above alone however will increase the pauses and resets in music playback. So - what seems to work really well is to increase the file cache sizes from their default values of 4096:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 16384 (DWORD)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 32768 (DWORD)

Yes - these will use more device memory for caching - but it all but eliminates the pausing on music playback, and the quality is vastly enhanced. Pauses may sometimes occur still, but much more rarely, and sometimes not at all during the day. Going to task manager and closing open apps helps too it seems, but it's a bit hit or miss on what most affects this phenomenon.

I'm still experimenting a bit with these values - and will also try 32768 for both shortly. I don't run a lot of apps simultaneously, just IMAP email checking. So committing more to cache is not particularly an issue for me. Have the memory - so may as well use it!

Please try the above and let me know. This problem is widely discussed on XDA, Kenwood and many other forums. And - it is expressly related to the Widcomm BT stack. The MS stack never did this. There has not been a conclusive solution put forth in any of those forums - but I've also not yet "published" the file cache approach. Like I said - I have researched and tried just about everything - and the above really seems to make the difference.
This post has been thanked 3 times.

Thanks for the info on this, I'll try these out and see if they work and let you know either way.

Back on the bandwagon with MighyROM I was rocking the BiGcOoKiE ROM but was having problems so I'm giving the Official MMROM now and loading it up.
