Guest symbiotix Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I registered strictly to say thanks! Moments like this are a prime reason why I sold the iPhone and made the move to Android... Thanks xsCode :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XsCode Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 The RDS isn't functional as far as I can tell, there's a lot of functionality that doesn't work .. like setting the output to the speaker etc... now that we have a working radio and that we know it supports RDS, would it be possible to add RDS feature to the app ? thanks.

Guest XsCode Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 You don't understand what I'm doing to get the radio to work, I'm just using the fm_hcitool to do basic operations. When I use the parse option it doesn't do anything... unless anyone can show me differently? then I'll implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know ; I am just trying to throw an idea. maybe we should first use the parse command and then turn RDS power on , or off-on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried RDS but the speaker can be enabled with simple patch. It worked for me. I can post it if you want to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moneytoo Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Ok. fm_hcitool_speaker has speaker enabled by default and works fine. However I have just found there's major drawback - once you use this (_speaker) version, you can't switch back to the headphones, you have to restart your Streak. Maybe I will play with it more later.fm_hcitool_speaker.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest puchg350 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Is it possible to lower the frequency range starting from 76MHz? The FM broadcast range is different in Japan. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popetodd Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) 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.

Guest mrmrmrmr Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 any hope for RDS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XsCode Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest puchg350 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 popetood, thanks. The frequency range originally set is for TV audio here. I will be wiaiting for a good news. 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.

Guest popetodd Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) 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). Edited October 2, 2010 by popetodd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrmrmrmr Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I really wonder if RDS is possible or not. can anyone look into that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest homeiss Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rahulkadukar Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bhull521 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 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. Running O2 2.1 6941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Niner86 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maskaler Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 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 Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
