Listening to the radio on my XDA Exec?

Hi!
Just got my XDA the other day, and have downloaded Real Player to listen to the radio thru the internet. However, was wondering if therevis another way of getting radio when I'm out of Wi-Fi range? Any plugins or cards out tere that I should know about?
Also, any navigation system tips would be good too!
Thanks very much for all your help!

Very interesting!!
hmm - only issue with it is that you can't do anything else with the unit while listening (eg read a book/look through the files on your regular SD card. )
I agree it's exactly what you want if FM radio is all you want.
But it's still a shame the unit doesn't have an FM radio in the hardware.

Be careful if you are using usa fm tuners in the uk. They will not tune to "even" frequencies (ie: 88.8 ) but "odd" frequencies are fine (ie: 88.9).

Is that because Americans only program using 1's and us Brits only use good ol' fashioned 0's.
Bloody Micro$oft, you'd have thought they would have sorted this out by now!!!! :shock:

Why not buy a set of earphones with a built in FM receiver? Something like this: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=128177
This one doesn't necessarily look the best but there are plenty out there.

Trackball and FM Radio troubles.

Hi,
My artemis trackball is not working well using FM Radio. I think I messed with the registry. Can somebody please export
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\FMRadio
entries to a .REG file and send me.
It just doesn't select predefined radios by tracking to up and down, but by tracking to left and right It does scan radios. Intrigating...
It happened when I tried to use Diamond FM Radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427040
I've already uninstaled the Diamond FM Radio.
Does anybody knows another FM Radio tuner software? I mean with big buttons.
Thank you a lot.

A soft reset have just resolved this trouble. I'm still search for another FM Radio tunners apps.

FM Radio on TP2??

On HTC.com they list an FM radio as a special feature for the TD2, but its not listed for the TP2.
Can anyone who has received their TP2 confirm if it has an FM radio or not?
Thanks
Hamburg

How to listen FM radio with Tmo Rhod in Vietnam?

Hi there,

Best way you can unistall it & try other

You know the headphones have to be plugged in for the radio to work, right? The headphone cable functions as the FM antenna.

First of all, as redpoint suggests, the headphone adapter and headphones must be plugged in.
Secondly, I'm not sure what the frequency range of FM radio is in Asian countries. In the US, it runs from 88.0MHz to 108.0MHz. If your radio station doesn't fall in that gap, then it's not going to work for you.
Third, MUI files are basically there for changing the language, not modifying the frequencies of a radio.

Does Spirit FM app work with root?

My G4 is on its way.
I was wondering if anyone can confirm we can reenable the FM functionality with root?
Such as using the Spirit FM app?

Nobody? Need some help to verify this. Otherwise I have no reason to root..

come on guys, for anyone with a root G4 (At&t, Tmo or Vzn).... it is a quick check.

Spirit1 and Spirit2 say they're for AOSP roms only, so probably not. I'm not going to pay the $9 to find out.

Tried nextradio and it doesn't see the receiver. (Rooted US Tmobile) I believe I earlier possibly saw an item on a hidden menu that referred to the receiver, not sure if this could possibly turn the fm receiver chip back on.)
