Please excuse me if this has already been addressed but has anyone gained access or control of the FM radio chipset in the G2. It's my understanding that the G2 has a FM radio with RDS. I also remember reading a post on this forum about someone verifying the existence of a FM emission from a G2 on a constant freq. but this was before anyone had even temp root if i remember correctly. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Its in CM6

They had to reverse engineer access to the chip since HTC wouldn't release the source so, for now, it can only receive as sorting out the transmit will take time and there's more pressing issues (like Gingerbread!).

FM
FM receive is also in Visionary ROM. I am using version 0.9.0 and can highly recommend it. I don't think it does transmit in this config, however.
Giving this a bump.....
Is FM transmit upcoming in cyamogenmod 7 by any chance?
You might want to look into buying a Motorola MotoROKR.
I use it every day, and its GREAT. connect your phone to it via bluetooth, then pump any audio that would normally come out your phone, to your car speakers, with NO wires..... its GREAT.
Highly recommended.

I don't it transmits either. Or I can't find it at least how to make it do so. Receiving it does a great job though
a transmitter would make this phone complete :]
good news, i thought it was cut from hardware.

Go here and enter in the model you have. It should tell you whether or not you can stream music through your phone, to your bluetooth.
(<---- feels like an ass) thank you for stepping my bluetooth game up!!

Hi
Is there any way to activate the FM radio on the PLAY, not via the internet (which I can't use everywhere, because I don't have an unlimited plan... so expensive in Mexico) actual FM radio, as all Samsung phones do... (they even have FM radio recorder, god I miss that feature on my Jet).
I currently purchased a MW600 Set which have FM radio so I can have it even without the need for the phone, and so far it have been working great, but kind of missing that feature I used to have for 3 years on my previous 2 Samsung phones (Tocco F480 and Jet S8000)
I read somewhere that the phone have the hardware and is capable to run the FM radio but it was blocked by SE for battery saving purposes.
Is there a workaround to unlock it?
Also does anybody else think is funny that the Xperia play is the only Experia without FM radio ? due to it great capabilities it SE should give us the flexiblity to decide if we want it or not.
Thanks
I think it needs to be enabled when making a custom Rom? not to sure
The Xperia Play does not even have an FM radio unlike the other Sony Phones that do have one.
Actually the R800 schematics posted somewhere on this board show it *does* have an FM radio. No idea if it's accessible though.

My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Spica, that phone has a FM Radio which is disabled and noone has been able to get that radio working on XDA or Samdroid. Just don't get your hopes up.

no antenna? They might not have thought it was an important feature and didn't give it an antenna (like HTC), and not had the insight to let the headphones act as an antenna (unlike HTC).
Hi
I would have put this under the BlackJelly thread in the dev forum, but it seems that I'm not yet allowed to post replied there. So, I'm posting here, in hopes for help.
I have a few issues, but I will open them up in seperate threads, as though they are all about basic issues w\ BlackJelly, they are still quite distinct.
I'll start off by saying that generally speaking, I LOVE this ROM. I do, however, have a few issues that I need to take care of.
One of those issues is the FM tuner. It doesn't seem to exist. Is there any way of adding this functionality. Something to flash or an apk or something?
Thanks!

There are quite a few internet radio apps (like pandora) but I'm not sure about FM radio specifically.
Thanks for your input, but I didn't mean internet radio. I meant using the device's fm radio. As in not via internet.
anyone else got an idea?

Sadly North American models did not get the FM radio hardware. It's not possible... sorry
Put all your questions here to keep it cleaner or post in the "stupid Questions" thread and we can help there
Really???
That is so strange and such a shame.
Thanks for the help!

Apparently, losing FM capability was the trade off for getting LTE.
International version of the S3 has it the other way around.
Hmm... That's a bummer. Especially seeing as I have no idea if LTE actually works in my country. Is there any way of knowing if I'm using LTE or not? (Other than asking the cell-phone company reps, who are completely unaware of what LTE even means)

Well, mine says that too, until I turn my data on! Is your data on?
So, I updated to 4.3 and now my focus is having problems with bluetooth. It used to work perfectly before the update but now the metadata of the song doesn't update on the radio and some other things like texts don't come through like they used to.
Simply put, is there a way to get the old bluetooth "stuff" into 4.3 or is that baked in?
I was just studying the BT issues and I found out all phones with 4.2 or greater has BT problems across the board.
Can you just copy-paste BT files? I don't know.
But its a common issue.

That's what I aim to find out... I'm tempted to just go back to a 4.1.2 ROM but meh...
No, I agree about staying with 4.3. I'm sure Google will release a fix or a clever xda member will get it.
Bump, still looking for info :laugh:

Sounds like he isn't getting song info and text messages on his car's head unit when connected to the phone through BT on a 4.3 ROM.
Me, I just get choppy playback.

Pretty much. I used to be able to see what was playing. I used to be able to control pandora (pause/skip) but that no longer works either. I also do not get notifications like texts anymore.

Quoting you too so you get a notification,
Edit: quote from a verizon thread:
Just so everyone is aware, this is due to the whole Motorola/Google ownership change. In previous versions of Android, Motorola sourced their own protocols for their products, and included MAP in their bluetooth profiles. Since the Jelly Bean update, they've used Google's own Bluetooth protocols, in which MAP was omitted.
is this true? Surely not, how would it have worked on 4.1.2?
Edit again:
http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ocus-feature-bluetooth-map-now-supported.html
Says kitkat supports MAP again............. may just get a kitkat rom even though I'd rather stick to stock TW.....
Well, I updated to 4.4 ........... still no go
