How to tune a FM radio station

[Guest GriZlore]

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

[Guest GriZlore]

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

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

[Guest 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??

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.

I am still waiting... :)

Ok, new update for the app...

• Added 5 station presets, long press the preset button of your choice to remember the current frequency.
  
• Re-centred the frequency dial
  
• cleaned up a crapload of code

looking through the bcom_fm.h I see this... don't know if anyone can do anything with it?

enum

{

BCOMFM_BAND_EUUS,

BCOMFM_BAND_JP

};

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

[Guest digthemlows]

Proper job. Thanks. Works a treat

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

sorry for asking again...

any idea about rds ? would it be possible or is it a no go ?

[Guest XsCode]

look mrmrmrmr as soon as anyone knows anything, we'll let everyone know... asking about it several times a day won't make it come any faster!!!

[Guest mrmrmrmr]

oh come on...

I didn't ask it several times a day.

and, I'm just asking if it would be possible somehow. I'm not asking if you can do it now.

you can say:

- no it's not possible at all

- yes it might be possible

- don't know

anyway...

Would it be best if I delete the earlier version before installing the new one??

[Guest XsCode]

should install over the top... but don't quote me

i seem to have a problem with the Sound controls has the up and down buttons when pressed

come up with Ringer volume but don't seem to do any thing to the radio (ear phones)

[Guest XsCode]

The fm_hcitool doesn't currently register itself with any of the official audio channels so the volume doesn't work.

[Guest popetodd]

I think it requires some code to switch the volume buttons over from phone to media when in the foreground.

[Guest puchg350]

XsCode, thanks for some clues. I have no idea what they are, but they look like a switch between two different frequency ranges. Will you please tell me what BCOMFM is and where I can find it.

looking through the bcom_fm.h I see this... don't know if anyone can do anything with it?

enum

{

BCOMFM_BAND_EUUS,

BCOMFM_BAND_JP

};

Even if you try to set the volume with the buttons it getting lower..

Another feature would be nice: automatic setting of the stations...
