Streaming Launch.com audio to a pocket pc over gprs... - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

This one is a doozy guys. Hope you can help.
First things first. I have been trying to find a way to stream launch.com on my pocket pc using my t-mobile gprs internet connection. The included browser as well as a few others I have tried do not support launch's flash/java player application which allows you to rate music.
My next step was to try using windows media encoder to stream the stream to my pocket pc at various bitrates. Obviously, I would lose the power to control the ratings and fast forward, but that's a price I am willing to pay. No dice.
Here's where you come in. I know there are a lot of experts here. Make me proud!

Gprs is not very fast i doubt that you could get even 32K/sec audio
and that quality is damm poor anyway
http://www.attwireless.com/3G/TechnologyCenter/network/speeds_speeds.htm

I can stream 32kbps with no problem. The sound quality is good enough for me.
This is the 32kbps station which runs smoothly, try it yourself! http://www.grooveradio.com/streams/grooveradio.asx
It's stereo, and sounds pretty damn good for 32kbps.
Now that we have that out of the way, does anyone have any ideas on where to start?

[Q] Sound Quality in TG01

Hi, so my TG01 has really poor sound quality. I mean I have W960i and there music has nice and deep bass and it's nice and loud, and here the bass is like on poor quality video on youtube.. also when I make it lauder it does a lot of clicking on the background.. I tried few player and MortPlayer gives me best sound quality, but summing it, it's still poor If a comapre it to Sonny E.
Maybe it's sound drivers or somethin ? IM TALKING ABOUT SOUND IN HEADPHONES. I'M USING WM 6.5 FFBOYS 1.0.

Yes, sound quality has never been strong side of TG01 but maybe You should consider to utilize WOWHD. It works like some kind of DSP so You should
see any difference.

ok got it, but now gettin a message sain @There is no WOW HD driver loaded. The control panel will now [email protected] how should I fix this ? I duno how to edit the registry btw thx
1. go to your "windows", search the file with "wavedev" as part of name.
2. copy the whole name.
3. go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev] and set the "OldDriver" to STEP 2.
4. reboot.
Firstly I can not find this file, secondly I duno whats hkay_local... and how to access it please explain it to me

The file is probably hidden; you need a File Explorer which is able to 'see' hidden / system files (the native windows explorer in Windows Mobile only shows you ones which do not have the -h (hide) attribute set).
The reference to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (often written in short as HKLM) is a 'Hive Key' in the Registry. This works just like the Registry on a desktop PC and contains all the variable settings for the system and all the applications you have installed. To access this and edit its contents you need a Registry Editor.
One option which does all in one package is the Resco File Explorer (Payware); alternatively you can search on XDA and there are various alternative offerings available with differing capabilities.
Hope that helps clarify....
Back to the original issue behind this, though and I would observe that actually the sound quality out of the TG01 is in fact very good - but you will only hear that with a high bitrate audio source and a decent set of earphones on the end to do it justice, or alternatively by output to a high quality external amplifier via quality screened cable and connectors. The stock earbuds (or similar) will never give you good quality sound. Addition of SRS or equivalent software will only modify the perceived sound, but can never overcome the limitations of such hardware. I've included the spec for my audio setup in my sig below - I'm using .wav encoded audio so it is 1:1 CD quality with no compression whatsoever - as soon as you start using compression (MP3 or similar) the audio quality will be degraded.
well ur answer does not help me. I do use resco explorer.
And how can u say quality is good ? ;d there is a lot of cliping etc quality is so poor that my casete player would give me better output. well I do have good quality headphones pionier make that reatail over pounds. my MP3 files sound awesome on my PC or Sony E. and TG01 just can not handle this level. That's why I'm loooking for anyway to fix this issue and I need this WOWHD as it might help. anyway I got it working but it gives my no audio output 0.- help.
Tried an active set of headphones or a portal headphone amp?
I did not tried amp, but I will no spend any more money for this, jsut want to manage WOWHD to work. I has it working and after editing registry entries my phone does not swich music to headphones, and when answering the phone it can only use speaker, and the micro does not work ;/ too bad help.
Well I just happened to have my headphone cable on me today at work. I have a set of noise cancelling headphones here at work and I don't seem to have a problem with 'clicking' except perhaps between songs when it actually changes track. Whilst not being loud, it sounds ok to me.
Are you using the original headphones that came with the TG01? They suck. Change them for something else and see if that improves things.
Also.. I wonder if the 'radio' version has anything to do with it?
As I said before HEADPHONES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I USE PIONIEER HDJ1000 AND I WOULD SAY THEY ARE REALLY GOOD. I tried others as well and the best sound i get on pionieer. but it's still not good at all. Bass sounds like a cheap imitation of bass. and as someone said I could cry WOWHD as it worked for few people giving a bit better sound, so jsut want to try it, but can not get it to work, got this frustrating error @ no WOW HD driver loaded .. And i have no idea if radio version has anything to do with it, I hope you guys tell me that Thanks
You could always try another ROM that already includes WOWHD in it? (Look for the MiROM 8 + UPX compression ROM )
I know that's a bit extreme to do, but you have already flashed your phone with FFBoys.. so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. (use PIM Backup to record your contacts first!)
It could just be that the SE phone has better dedicated hardware as many of them seem to be made with music in mind.
Ok downloading new ROM. I have tried many ROM with no change on audio quality I hate Sense but just wanna try this WOWHD software and see if it's worth using, then I'll go back to old FFboy's ROM, and yes I also think that Sonny E. has better hardware as it's Walkman phone, and that's always been known as good thing.

... TG01 with 9,9 mm was for a long time the thinnest smartphone.
....thinnest smartphone= thinnest loudspeaker= poor sound
... but i love it ...
Allegedly Phantasm X3 is the music player that gives the best sound quality on windows mobile, but good luck obtaining a copy even legitmately.
As mentioned, have it might be worth while trying a different 'radio' with the rom, as if it can effect call quality, maybe it can affect sound quality as well. Which country are you in?
I'm from England and I don't really think that where I leave has anything to do with, the quality of sound. The hardware isn't too good it does not support 320 sample rate
But guys I do have sound that can be accepted, it's still not good, but there is not clicking ans stuff. I have installed miRom8 with WOWHD already intergrated.
I will stay with it, because it runs quite smoothly and many functions that are useful. AND MOST IMPORTANT SOUND IS BIT BETTER.
thanks for help
I've tested a lot of Roms and I have a couple of TG01 : Sound quality it's always the same. It's hardware related, not software.
Said this, sound quality it's average. Using device speakers is quite poor (perhaps due to the thickness, as said before) but with headphones it's not bad, even good in my opinion
And if you use a pair of good headphones and SRS HD switched ON, sound it's superb
Instead, nobody says nothing about voice record quality. Its awful, the worst record device I've never heard . Do you agree?
Hi I am new to this forum. I used Touch and Kaiser in the past.
Have been using TG01 for a few weeks and love it.
I am trying to use it as a music player via stereo bluetooth headset, using coreplayer and in mp3 or wma format. The quality of sound is awful. Then I change the music format as flac which is a lossless format and improves the quality a bit. But the human voice is like a digital nature, worse of all, still not much bass. SRS HD helps a bit on the voice, but not the bass (I have to admit my headset is not a very decent one)
Two questions:
1. I understand a quality headset will definitely improve the bass quality, does the bluetooth transmission limit the bitrate or sound frequency?
2. Any recommendation on the tweak, media player or setup?

Try a different music player, S2P is good, and you can use the music player while the screen is locked.
As i said earlier Phantasm is the best audio player available for winmo, but i have never used it.
I don't think SRS WoW HD will really help too much to be honest.

Watch movie on PC with sound on mobile

Hi!
I want to watch a movie on my PC and hear the sound via my mobile (headphones). How can I do that? Is there an App?

Just why ?

Right!
I'd like to watch movies in night but my family wants to sleep^^
So, is it possible?
get a headphone and connect it with your computer in the speaker port :|
^^^
You didn't really solve the problem.
Here's the easy way... get a small fm-transmitter. "you can pick them up for cheap"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_transmitter_(personal_device)
Plug it into your pc.
Now use the FM-Radio on your phone.
I looked for apps that might allow for bluetooth or wifi audio to be transmitted to your phone but so far nothing.
Also please post questions in the Q&A pages.

I have got headphones! But they are not long enouth!
Btw: I'm not silly. You?
I think I'll try the FM.
Thanks
You could probably use vlc to stream the movie from the computer to the phone and then wear the headphones, the phone would still play the movie but you don't have to look at it.
It would take some setting up but it could be done. I have used vlc to stream my tv-card over the network using dvschedular but it would be difficult for me to say you need to do x,y and z as everyones networks are different.
As well as getting the video/audio streamed you then have to find an app to play it...

is there really such app your looking for?
there was an app for that. I listened to music like this, but you need to have WIFI on PC.

Can I try it for free?
don't know...
Do as I do: if there is no trial, find a cracked one, try it, then BUY IT if it works! (i have bought a lot of apps and PC games this way - so piracy is not bad if you end up buying the product after you try it)
Hi,
yes there is a trail and no, it doesn't really work. The sound is 3 seconds to late.
I think my network is to slow...

It's due to the time it takes to encode, transmit and decode.
The best option you will find is the one i offered.
and a fm transmitter will be cheaper than vnc application.
ooor, there is a very fast way to remove sound from movies (split audio and video). Put audio to mobile, start movie on pc and sound on phone. That way it even conserves battery (no WIFI or net required) on phone.

That may cause audio sync problems.
It also means you have to split every movie you watch.

[Q] Turning Nexus S into an MP3 player

So, I was checking out PowerAMP the other day and was quite impressed with its capabilities. Especially the downloading of album art and Scrobbling to last.fm; so I bought it!
Anyways, my question is:
Is there anything I can do to further integrate any apps or Android mods to make it even more of an MP3 player? I can't think of anything other than using PowerAMP and not sure if there's really anything else that could be done.
PowerAMP has made me switch from carrying around my Nexus and my 80GB Zune to just my Nexus only. I like being able to delete songs as I listen to them which my Zune can't do and hear when I get a TXT MSG or when someone is calling me.
My only gripes are that USB transfer speeds are incredibly slow and the Nexus does not have a MicroSD slot.
Fake edit: While typing this I remembered to ask; are there any earbuds compatible with Android phones that have a built in mic with an answer button?

Parrot Asteroid Smart Bluetooth and Sound Issues

Hey guys, I just replaced a Sony deck with the Smart and I LOVE it so far. It's taking some tweaking to get it how I want it, and to get it to do what I want it to do and why I chose it over Appradio. I have it rooted, and I've got the Play Store working great. The lack of a volume knob is a drag, but I'm hoping to fix that with PullOpenSettings. I have 3 unsolved issues so far:
**1. The Sony deck it replaced had separate HPF/LPF so that it could ensure that only bass went to the subs, and I was also able to remove most of the bass that went to my regular speakers since they don't really handle bass at the volumes I listen to. I see that I can set the crossover frequency for the subs and that's great, but is there an app that will allow me to adjust the bass to the speakers without affecting the sub? I've searched high and low and I've yet to find one.
**2. I cannot get my Bluetooth ELM OBD adapter to pair. I read in an Amazon review that "All I had to do was install the Bluetooth apk and it worked perfectly" I'm not sure what 'Bluetooth apk' he's referring to, but I'd sure like to know!
**3. Lastly, why can't I get this to Bluetooth tether to my Nexus 4 running CM 10.1? Yes, I have Bluetooth tethering enabled in the phone and in the head unit, and dual-mode is off. If you look at each other's profiles on the other, there's Phone Audio and Media Audio, but no profile for PAN. I'd read somewhere that installing Open Garden Wifi Tether would fix this. I didn't see how it could, but I sideloaded it to my phone and of course it didn't work. I just can't figure out how to give the deck PAN.
***Any Help with any of these would be appreciated!! Thank you!

Forcing calls to go through A2DP in Android, while using the phone's built-in microphone.

Hello,
This issue has been driving me insane. It seems like some simple, artificial limitation that no one seems to circumvent. As the title suggests, I'm trying to force phone calls and especially VoiP calls (Discord, whatsapp..etc), to go through the high bitrate A2DP profile instead of the horrible HSP/HFP profile that butchers audio quality and uses the horrible bluetooth microphone.
For instance when music is streamed through a bot in Discord i have to listen to it in horrible earpiece-level phone call quality.
I feel like there's got to be a tweak, a Magisk module, a custom ROM functionality with root access that allow for this, something.. I found a couple old XDA posts about this but no solutions. Oh and also tried Lesser AudioSwitch on multiple Android versions, none worked.
It seems inherent to all bluetooth headphones which is a shame, they could cost 10k $, but the quality would still be sh*t in calls, both in and out, since mic is not close to the mouth.
I always loved Android for giving users more control, but sadly seems like this is more and more going away. What i want here, can very easily be done on PC.
Thank you for your time reading, really hope someone can help.
