Anyone know if the fm receiver on this chip also works for rds/traffic updates for igo8?

According to the results I've seen it doesn't. Reason being the radio is missing something essential for TMC to work.

Hi. If you get the ViaMichelin naviagation software onto your P3300, will it then be able to recieve TMC messages? On ViaMichelin HP it says that it use FM radio to recieve updates? http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/GPS/htm/nav/our-advantages.htm
Cheers
regarding similar question, I've got following answer from HTC:
....there is a hardware element that is required to translate and use the TMC data so it is impossible to. As of yet, no HTC devices support this.

it's sounds like somebody is making us fools.
TMC information is sent using FM RDS transmission - the same transmission is providing your fauvorite stations names.
FM Radio application is able to read and show RDS transmission - anybody can see RDS info on the screen. IF the RDS transmission is accessible from FM RADIO application, THEN SHOULD be accessible from TMC-related applications. The question is - which port is used for communication, speed, baud, etc.
The other way is to disassemble FM Radio application from Artemis.
This has been discussed 10 times. RDS and TMC are different things concerning the physical radio waves. You need an extra hardware filter for TMC to be able to read it. A software update can't do that job because you cannot access the TMC information from the radio waves.
According to http://www.rds.org.uk/, TMS is just extension to RDS, same as EON, TI etc.
Availabity of TMC info should be subject to FM receiver architecture.
Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
What are the options in this application, is it 88mhz-108?
Can I use my normal headphones or do I need to use the ones that came with it?
Can I save stations? Can I listen to the radio and browse the internet at the same time? Are there any videos available showing it in action?
1) it`s an FM radio so 88 to 108 only
2) Yes u can.
2) You can save stations and yes you can listen radio and do anything else (e.g surf the web). For videos try youtube.
Can someone confirm that RDS isn't working? If so, could this be a hardware or software missing feature?
Thanks.
RDS - Definately NOT working on mine, no idea if either hard or software related...sorry...but picks up a lot more stations than my (now sold) HD2.
If RDS is the thing which tells the handset what station it is (eg BRMB, Radio 1) then yes, RDS works for me.

Doesn't appear to work on mine.
RDS works fine for me.. finds Radio 1, Rock Radio, Classic, Key 103 (these in Manchester).
Works pretty well on my Desire!!
RDS doesn't work for me either. Berlin/Germany. Maybe this feature is location based?
Hi all,
Is there a way to activate the FM transmitter built in the SnapDragon processor?
I want to use it to listen music in the car via FM radio.
I heared that Modaco worked on it ... true?
Any idea of how I can get it work?
Thanks,

Might have been asked before but... I tried out the FM radio app on CM7 yesterday and it turns on the Bluetooth radio. Why does this happen and is it necessary? Bluetooth is such a battery hog that I will probably never use it again.
Decided to use Pandora while cuting the grass instead.
thats weird because the stock fm app just needs headohones pluged in
What I mean is when you open the app it turns on the bluetooth radio and if you turn off the radio it kills the FM radio.
Same here. CM7 FmRadio uses Bluetooth to capture signal .... so if you close the bluetooth while litening to Radios , it will also kill the radio.....
I don't see something logic in this..... Really wish for an asware....
I do believe the Bluetooth and FM Radio Reciever are on the same chip. This may just be some trickery to get the FM Radio to work properly.
Bluetooth and fm reciever are on the same chip and in order for fm to be on chip has to be active and because fm doesnt have a control switch (on off setting) it activates Bluetooth instead thus making fm radio work.

If that's the case why it's not turning on in my stock fm gb rom.

I don't think there is source for fm radio so this is how they made it work by reverse engineering it. Just like they did with wimax before the code was open sourced.
Doe`s anyone know if the Galaxy Note 3 T Mobile device has the FM radio chip in it or not. I have searched T Mobile and have googled
but nothing positive or negative whether it has it not. I want to use the next radio app but the app say`s it can`t access my FM radio receiver.
Can anyone help please.
Thankyou.
The Note 3 will not support Next Radio due to the lack of a built-in configurable FM tuner.
most stations have their own app or an app that has their station in it. i know ive seen some local radio stations here that has their own app
Yes the phone has an FM chip but it's not active. We've looked into and worked on installing the correct BCM driver for the Broadcom chip, but so far there is no way to get it active.
