Someone please tell me why this works A2DP skip fix question

[Karmashock]

The ONLY way to get my headset to connect to my PPC is to go to the bluetooth settings, click "set as wireless stereo" and WAIT 3-4 seconds (as in touch nothing period).


It works every single time. I get PERFECT skip free sound with extremely high quality.


If I do ANYTHING but that it skips CONSTANTLY. I mean constantly. It skips about once every 1 to .5 seconds.


Now, I have this protocol down pat. I've done it so many times that I can practically do it blindfolded now. But I really really am sick of it.


I have the 1.0.3 ROM... I'll upgrade IF people really think that will fix the problem... I'd rather not bother if people are just "curious"... I'm not as big into rom flashing as most people around here. I'm waiting for WM6 rom to become a bit more developed and have the various bugs knocked out of it.

there are fewer bugs with the cooked rom than there were with the stock rom. And it runs faster. You would be insane to not install it.

I have installed a cooked rom. A2DP didn't even work this well with the old version.


I've played with the bitpool but it seems pretty pointless. First, it never stops the skipping it just makes the skips less frequent and the quality goes to hell in the process.


The reaction of the skips to the change in bitpool works something like this so far as I've seen

METAPHOR TIME!

If my connection is like a rubber band and the skips are like little lines put on the band at regular intervals then decreasing the bitpool is like stretching the band out. The more I stretch it the less frequently the skips come but they always come after the same "amount" of data. With a higher bitpool transmitting rates between my PPC and the headset are faster thus the skips happen faster. If I reduce the speed then the skips happen less frequently... but I still get the same number of them per data transferred.


Again, what makes this so annoying is that if I follow the protocol specified above then I get a PERFECT connection. Which means that this CAN work given the right conditions... with FULL bandwidth.


Someone with knowledge of A2DP help me.

Try making sure its not in vib/silent mode... will not work unless in normal mode.

Hes got sound, he just found a way for it to be perfect sound, and trying to find a hack to get it to always be like that.
