Get pandora from the market, FM radio is just ads these days, and crappy music...

i did do a search that is why i asked when nothing turned up.

thanks for the information and just downloaded pandora. was hoping that fm radio would be cool.

there's support for it in the chipset.. who knows if that will be unlocked later on...

Basicly we're "just" missing the driver, but with sources it should be easy to port it from devices with the same Broadcom chipset.

"Radio means baseband"

am/fm radio liquid does not have

As stated somewhere over the net, the "radio" chip, made by Broadcom, integrates wifi+bluetooth+fmradio. The latter is not in use because of lack of driver, as I understood. The chip itself is BCM4325.

that was my understanding. the liquid that was demoed to us had fm radio. but the one i got doesn't. when i asked the at&t guy who demoed it he was not sure why his had it but mine didn't. who knows mabey they added all features to a demo phone to show off all of its capabilities.

" radio fm N = NO radio fm.... is not so difficult lol " i would have to agree but i have seen it work. so i thought i would ask the kings of code here and see if someone had made it work.

i feel bad now like i stirred some pot of bad subjects.

I read somewhere too among these forums that the chip supports FM Radio

But....

No drivers were written for it, so it doesn't show in the OS (displays as "N")

If some one writes drivers for it, and enables the FM Radio in the Kernel, then we might have FM Radio working

However...

It is possible that Acer may have disabled the FM Radio portions of the chip altogether in hardware, so adding FM Radio drivers into the kernel may not work

No guarantee that there is FM, no guarantee that there is not (Until some one tries adding support for it in the kernel)

Xian1243 has wirte a driver, so need to be tested and integrated in bin.

having regular fm radio on such a sweet phone would be sickk..

sometimes or a lot of time i hate having to choose what i listen to.
