Sound skipping on WM2003 - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi All.
I have a problem that from what I see, I'm the only one who has it.
Everything was fine on PPC2002 and I upgraded today to WM2003, after that I get sound skipping/clipping on many games/apps.
For example when I record something with "Notes" everything's fine but if I use VITO's SoundExplorer I get lots of skipping on the recorded audio.
On games with music (Clickgamer's Knight Lite / ZioSoft's Metalion / Astraware's GTS Racing and many, many more) it clips a lot.
It is very annoying and it never happened on PPC2002 (used the Spanish and the O2 English ROM from LumpiStefan's kitchen for PPC2002 and for WM2003 I used A.30.09 ENG Siemens).
I tried disabling all my Today's plugins (leaving Today totally empty) and renaming the Startup folder in order to check if it was an app in there slowing down the sound, but nothing, it stays the same.
Does anyone have a clue or will I need to downgrade to PPC2002?
I love PPC2002 but the phone losts the signal so frecuently that it renders the phone useless. For example I go to the subways and get No Signal, that's OK but when I get out of it, it doesn't get back unless I turn off the radio or reset the phone, that's annoying like hell. It should check for signal say once per minute, I lose plenty of calls because of that...
So I read that with GB-Soft Tweak (http://www.gb-soft.cz) if I disable "GPRS Always On" I will get signal everytime but unfortunately it doesn't work on PPC2002 so I had to upgrade.
That's it, that's my story
Hope anyone can help me.
Kind regards,
Marton
P.S.: LumpiStefan, if you're reading this: I also got the BootScreen inverted and upside down on WM2003 (just like on PPC2002 Spanish) so I think it is a problem with the Kitchen... maybe you should check it... Cheers!

try GB-SOFT GPRS TWEAK, i have the same problem, that dissapeared
after i set "high priority for audio media"
http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm

Wow!!! Thanks!
Now it doesn't click anymore but it does turn off the sound and makes a fade-in every 5~10 seconds.
I don't know what's better: skipping or stopping and fading in
Anyway I notice that it makes fade-in everywhere, for example when I'm checking the ring tones it is set as Vibrate and Ring and the ringtones fade in, just like as if it was on "Increasing ring". That was the first thing I noticed when I upgraded to WM2003... Is there a way to disable that annoying fade-in?
Thanks for the speedy and helpful reply k_dima!

i use AT&T A30.09 about 5 month, and decided to change it to O2 WM2003, that you can find in the Rom Kitchen.
After this upgrade , fade effect dissapeared.
I reccomend you to use O2 ROM , becouse it's a very stable and fast , without annoying sound effects.
Before O2 ROM i use AT&T and T-Mobile 4.0.16.
T-Mobile ROM is too slow and not stable. When you installed more than 10 programms, you can notice it, but Radio Stack from T-Mobile Rom i left as is, becouse i have the best voice quality with T-Mobile Radio Stack.

Performance issues after upgrade to WM2003 SE 2.06

Finally I upgraded to WM2003SE (2.06).
Direct reason was the declining performance under WM2003 (1.72). What happened was that when running TomTom 5.1 and a phone call came in (or I made one) the connection with my SD was lost. Exit TomTom, take-out & re-insert SD end eventualy restarting TomTom solved that on an incident basis.
With WM2003 SE that problem has gone. BUT I got something back: The sound in TomTom (5.1 and 5.21) is severely distorted ('clicking' like sound). The same (but not that severe) happens when I run Tomtom and I play an MP3 using WMP9.
I tried XCPUScalar, but the CPU load most of the time is around 60-70% (@400MHZ).
My Extended ROM does not have suspicious tools that run permanently in it.
Any clues?
Update: Same issue happens with ROM 2.20.07CHS (translated).
I received a clue from mamaich :
Create a "Priority256" key under HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev and set it to 128 (0x80)
First results are promising!
mmm looks like I am talking to myself in this thread.
Anyway: The registry hack worked fine for me. Even better: the GB-Tweak applet I allready have does just the same (via the Audio priority option).
I am now very happy with the 2.20 translated SE ROM for my Himalaya. I might just keep on using it until my Wizard arives in two weeks 8)
Had the same problem, tomtom stutterd, GB-Tweak did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Here are some screen shots of the new visible features from this leaked ROM.. very nice rom
Camera has definately improved in low light mode the picture still come up very good.. night mode also works very well.. overall nearly as good as nokia phones now
The bluetooth connections seems to be better also
The phone pad now donot delay when you have short tones enabled.
and so far i have not have any problems with this rom except that getting used to the new today page.
Assasins - Do you know how to make the Date item on the today page the same as in the old rom? Do you know any registy keys that customizes this? Thanks for the ROM by the way [/img]
Damn good catch, mate! The camera clicks, and the photo's taken, so I don't have to wait five seconds more! The picture quality is pretty similar, but good enough for me. The unit's faster, and the new functions are great. The best is the BT and WiFi controls on the today page! Finally! (OK, I've only had the thing for a couple of weeks, but I really missed that.) Most of my annoyances are totally gone, except for two: Why is WiFi off after a reset? Every other unit I've had so far, has it turned on by default. And it still turns on when it gets an SMS, if there's not some setting that I haven't yet found that stops it from doing that. Still, this unit is now very close to perfect!

Just downloaded and upgraded mine
Which seetings are you using? Are you saving the photo in device memory?
For me, the 5 seconds lag is still there - taking photos at 1600x1200 and saving them to mini-SD.
Also, did anybody notice the funny "plah plah" sound after turning the volume off?
it took long time for me to save a 2MP JPG to the MINI-SD...
but! if you will format your card, the speed will improve immediatly...
try.
Nadavi.
Just tried the installation as well and things are working smoothly Nice one assassins!! 8)
Funny things I noticed:
InstallShield is spelled as InstallSheild
InstallShield wizard said "(test only)"... Woooooh Just hope it won't say "invalid device" next time I upgrade to the official O2 released ROM ... :shock:
should i upgrade
my O2 came with 20060123B1WWE whould I upgrade?
I gotit from an official O2 dealer in Mumbai, India but when I try to register it O2 claims that they do not recognise the IMEI number. Why?
Navin, register via the Australian site at www.see02.com and not the UK site. :lol:

Sorry to inform u that this version is not compatible with Chinese/ Japanese enabler software (CE-star V2.8r1)!
Is it me or is this version a drain on the battery power?
It's not you, it's the WiFi. If you don't turn it off with the new, shining wireless toggle app, it will stay connected, so the unit doesn't really sleep at all. Try to ping your Atom (if you have a static IP) when it's "suspended", and you'll get answers.
Guys, what's the Storage card called on the atom? "storage card" or something else (in gsfinder etc).
V
"Memory Card". At least in WM5's File Explorer.
upgrade working fine
Did the new Rom upgrade this morning and everything is working great.
I am using 4smartphone.net (exchange server) and the push email is now working. That was the main reason for my upgrading.
I highly recomend doing the upgrade.
BT voice dial on Atom
Is it possible to make voicedial function available through bluetooth? When I press a button on my jabra BT800, Atom launches phone module and does nothing else. Could there be a registry tweak to make it launch sddial.exe while opening audio channel to/from bt headset?

WM6 & WM6.1 Sound Problem.

hello
I have strange problem with ALL of WM 6 & WM 6.1 that i tested here. (+10)
My Device is i-mate Jamin G4.
the problem with Sound. the sound suddenly stop and dissapeare. after reading from and search i found only 1 solution for that, I should go to Settings>Sound&Notification>Notifications and play a ringtone to get the sound back. In the case sound disappear whole system sound gone and even when somebody calls or SMS there is no sound. the above solution works in 95% of roms and if it dosent bring back the sound soft reset is needed and everything ok then.
another hint is that when press green call button and keypad appears if i press buttons for around 1 minutes whole sound system went and i should use the solution . i said that because i though it might help.
this problem with wm6 & 6.1 just forced me to use official wm5 which doesn't have this problem. this problem is not only mine as i have found on forums many have this problem.
Thanks for your attention!

2. did you try a hard reset?
3. optional flash with the lazy tool,
4.
yes, I did all steps except 3. Ill upgrade with that and inform you the results.
BTW please press around 50+ time on keypad to here keypad tones. they suddenly stop! my device is G4. I know that G3 sre better than G4 in wm6&6.1
thanks
I've had a similar issue recently: Korand's WWE3.1 (WM6.1), been running faultlessly for 3 months or so, on a Prophet G4.
Without having changed any configuration, or any new programs, I lost "most" sounds. No ringtones, though I could hear the other person on a call, via either of the 2 loudspeakers. I tried to play an mp3, and I got an error message from Pocket Tunes/WMP (could not play...) - and no alarm calls
I went to Notifications, but could not play any files. I got sound back by doing a soft reset and/or running pocketmax's wake up tweaks (run clock/calendar cleanups - I doubt these had anything to do with it...)
And then normal service was resumed, phew. I missed one more alarm call, and since then, all has been OK.

Thanks for sharing...
i'm having the same problems sometimes. it happens mainly after changing the volume via the up/down switch from off to vibrate or back to certain volume.
the solution is the same as in the first post is mentioned. go to sounds & notifications and there to incoming textmessage. play the ringtone. sometimes a second time doing that is necessary.
but as im testing many roms as well, it happens very often on wm6.1, not so often in wm6.
before i forget to mention, i own a G4 Xda Neo.
//edit: another problem i had once was after using Shadow Vista "My Edition"(wm6.1) from with the ring volume-tweak. during call i rised the volume a little bit and then suddenly my speaker stopped working. even a softreset hadnt solved that problem, then i switched often the volume and after MANY attemps i managed somehow to get it working again. i was kinda shocked
greets
guro
PS: somebody has also the problem when recieving messages and press a key to early that the orange flashled doesn't went off?
well, it looks as if there is not clear solution for this issue. well i think i should go back to WM4 and forget about all other wm6 speed and goodies.

Try a different WM6.1 ROM!
i tried lots of stuff to solve this issue...no luck at all, after flushing the stupid Thai rom, i lost the sound....still trying
well, I tried almost 90% of roms here. all wm 6.1 are having this bug . I found PDAviet 4.0.0.0.6 a bit better than other, the sound bug happens less in this rom how ever it is still there.
oh! i found this here!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371926
it looks as if this problem is with all roms, I think there must be a way to fix it on this biggest forum. still searching and reading an trying roms!!
hey guys,
since I moved to wm6 I was getting this bug, specialy with the sms notification.
but there was one rom which I did'nt have this problem if I kept the default rigntones. it was "Prophet_S4V.19701.01_F".
i'm flashing Prophet_S4V.19213.01_C, hoping it is that good too. altough I had the micro based on the s4v.19213 and and it was driving me crazy with this bug, I couldn't make it ring...
looking forward to help.
cya
well i only found a temporarily solution for this problem. i disabled the keypad tones and the problem occurs each 1-2 days once but the problem is that it is still big chance of missing important Calls and SMS I hope developers found a solution for this BIG wm6 & 6.1 issue.

not 100% of prophet does the same way~~~
1. did you really manually hardreset the prophet every new rom flash?
2. any software installed will affect the performance of it?
3. will it happens same when newly rom flash?

yes, i do hard reset by pressing comm + cam + soft > send button . each rom i try i first open key pad and press 30+ on it and i sadly see sound dissapear! it looks as if prophet is not compatible with wm6!
I am now back to the wm5 and eagerly waiting to see a solution or patch from the great developers here!
well. no fix yet pals?
i had some problem too and what I had to do is...
When ever I hold the pda, I will press the volume up button even in lock mode and if there's no any sound, that mean the sound already disappeared, I had to soft reset... I had this problem at least once in 2 days....
Hope there'll be a fix for this issue sooner...

Toshiba TG01 WM6.5 Voice Quality Issues

Does anyone know how to edit the registries of a TG01 updated with WM6.5 for better voice quality. Everyone is complaning that my voice cuts in and out while I talk. This wasn't a problem on older builds of 6.1. I think it may be background noise reduction software being too sensitive? Or perhaps something else. I'd love any suggestions on what setting to change and to what input.
MANY MANY THANKS!!
Toshiba TG01 WM6.5 Voice Quality
I have got the same problem. Did you solve it?!
generally a problem with radio stack i think, if thats what controls 2g/3g signal bands.
i am on three and call quality drops in and out whilst on 2g
changing to 3g should help, auto sometimes helps too strangely
my handset came with 6.5 update and so far no echo problems
video recording dark on it too, noticed when recording inside out, we need contrast controls etc, camera controls basic
sorry bit off topic, just another minor gripe i noticed
So do I.
I use the 2G signal only and never get this issue.
Maybe you can switch the mode to 2G to try ...
go to toshiba tg01 support site. download latest rom. download sddl+.exe from net by searching. create a new folder in the root of storage card name it prg extract the downloaded rom file with extension .tsw into prg folder now copy sddl+.exe to the root of storage card and run this file. all your problem solved. now experience what tg01 can do. any failures in procedure will brick bcareful dont blame. this way was successful for me. now no banging or knocking or hissing sounds mp3z r great. start menu is now easy to use.
I have the same problems, can you give links for the updates & roms suitable for a numpty like me. many thanks. mike.

HTC HD2: Handset fails to ring

Hope someone can help.
I recently started to re-use my HTC HD2 after almost a year of non-use.
It is a stock handset running WM6.5 on the O2 network in the UK.
As I hadn't used the handset in a year, I had factory re-set it so, once I inserted my SIM card, I had to run through the set-up process.
Once done, the handset was working fine.
After a few days, I decided to change the ringtone from the default O2 one, to another one.
However, since doing this, the handset never rings when I get an incoming call and only vibrates.
I have factory reset the handset several times but this makes no difference.
I have searched on the internet and found some details of people with similar issues, but the recommended fix of creating a 'volatile' directory is not working for me.
Does anyone have any experience of this issue and can advise how to resolve?
have not experienced the same but some thoughts below ...
Does the speaker work when playing audio file via music player or from file explorer.
If no sound from speaker try blowing into grill left of camera or taping that area while a file is playing.
If speaker plays sound try removing SD card & test, also check & try a few changes in, Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications & see what results you get !
Final option could be HSPL4 & load HSPL2.08 & try a smooth running standard style custom ROM such as CleanEX RV Standard 1.02 as should be a far better WM experience than the O2 branded ROMs ...
Thanks for the reply Mr B.
I have only just got round to checking this post but, yesterday, for some un-known reason the phone is now ringing as normal.
Very bizarre!
