Guest roscoe141 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Why is the radio so crap? I want to listen to Clyde 1 radio station on my Orange branded unrooted non romed HTC Desire but compared to the radio on my iPod Touch using a radio app it's dreadful. Can anyone help?

Guest roscoe141 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I've just realised my iPod Touch is using wifi for for connection via TuneIn Radio app whereas my FM Radio on my Desire is using.......well something else. I wonder if there's an app for Andriod capable of something similar. Edited September 20, 2010 by roscoe141
Guest roscoe141 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 Just found TuneIn Radio for Andriod on the market I can use over wifi. Kinda solves my problem so ignore this thread. I'm an idiot. *blushes* P.s. The radio still isn't great when I'm out running though.

Maybe where you're running there there is bad reception for FM Radio? That's my only suggestion. Wish the Desire had built in DAB tbh, would be beaut then!

Totally agree about the DAB part and yeah I run kinda slightly out in the country at my local Windfarm, which probably doesn't help.
Guest ManOfSteal Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 The sensitivity of the FM radio is pretty poor IMO, coupled with the lousy system application, it's almost like it's been included as an afterthought. While digital radio would be a nice addition, mobile reception on DAB can be pretty dire and would increase battery consumption considerably.
Guest roscoe141 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 Perhaps the Orange Froyo update released today will make it better.. Clutching at straws?
