Is it possible to lower the frequency range starting from 76MHz? The FM broadcast range is different in Japan. Thanks!

Try running 'fm_hcitool 3 750' (or whatever frequency you know a station to be on) and see if you recieve it, it is a SDR receiver so it is quite possible that it will tune that low.

[EDIT] just tried it and it didn't change the frequency from the station it was set to. Perhaps there is a config file with limits, I'd have to look around a bit later to see if I can find it.

any hope for RDS ?

[XsCode]

don't suppose anyone has found the source for the bcomfm driver or fm_hcitool?  I noticed the device is in /dev but can't find any info on how to control the device.

[puchg350]

popetood, thanks. The frequency range originally set is for TV audio here. I will be wiaiting for a good news.

cool so does this ap only work for Android 2.1?

i am currently on 4339 build 1.6 here

[popetodd]

Yes, only 2.1 so far (we don't have a working Froyo build so don't know if the drivers are there as well).

I really wonder if RDS is possible or not.
can anyone look into that ?

[homeiss]

Thanks Moneytoo for sharing this. Also, thanks to XsCode for the gui. I don't want to sound picky but can we get an icon for the app though? A quick google search turns up plenty of radio icons that could be dropped in there.

I am not sure about this but I read somewhere that the Streak also has a FM transmitter, if true can it be implemented through this app.

Am I the only one that can't get this to work?
I get nothing when turning "Radio On"
and it freezes up and reboots when i press the volume buttons.

Works fine for me! No problems at all.

mrmrmr, asking every post about RDS isn't going to hurry anyone up, just chill out mate! Bit of patience

Have you put the source code up anywhere? I'd love to take a look. I know it's simple, but that's probably my current Android app level anyway so it'd be great to get the ball running.

Cheers in advance

Accidental infinite loop o'clock beckons me...

You're welcome... that version is up to date and not packaged... just cleaned the subs up a bit to make it work faster...

Truly awesome. Works like a charm. Don't need Dell when we have such a great community.

[GriZlore]

i am really daffled why Dell didn't mention this?

is there any sense, whatsoever, with them not mentioning it?

[J4MIE]

This is an awesome piece of work, now I can stop carrying my old mobile around with me which I used for radio!!!  

If lower frequency is being talked about, is there any chance that it'd be possible to reach 81.575Mhz?  Or is that asking it too much??

Edited by J4MIE, 05 October 2010 - 10:04 PM.

[popetodd]

That might be asking for too much. I am not finding any radio specific config files and I haven't look through the source yet to see if it can be modified to expand the range.

[puchg350]

I am still waiting...
