Hi people, im looking into extending the frequency range of the HTC Wildfire FM Radio.
Currently, set in the UK, the range is 87.5 - 108.00MHz
I want to get the most out of the radio chip and was wondering if there is an app, or hack of such which can extended these ranges, by my knowledge if this phone was designed for use in China or other Asian countries it could be extended out of these ranges.
I want the radio to give me the full spectrum of its radio frequency capabilities.
Can anyone help?
Also, another modification i would like to achieve is too use the WIFI chip to not only connect to normal 802.11 b/g, but if, and maybe if possible "listen" to the whole frequency range that the wifi chip is capable of achieving, and not use it for its proposed purpose.
Thus turning the HTC Wildfire into a Android Radio Scanner.
I know there are apps for listening to streams over the internet but this is not what i want. I want realtime scanning and audio.
I hope some smart little programmer out there can make this happen....please, and thankyou.

Hi!
Is there any alternative FM tuner software that could be used with P3300. The original software is OK, but I miss a RDS AF (alternative frequency) option.
Regards,
PK
I'm still not sure there is even RDS on the P3300. If there is no RDS than other radio software will not help.
The device does have RDS, it can display the radio station name but in order for this to work you need a good quality signal, sadly the aerial built into the headphones isn't up to much in way of reception - Mike
I think receiving the station's name and displaying other Data ist not quite the same. I believe RDS PS is the Service that displays the Stations Name. Nearly all Radios have that. I have some radios though, that are capable of Displaying the Station Name, but no further informations. These Informations come with RDS EON (Radio Data System with Enhanced other Networks) AF and TA, only to name two, are services that come along with RDS EON. So i am guessing, that Artemis FM Software is truly capable of RDS, but not EON.
I'd also like to have a software that can do that
Hello,
I have recently bought an HTC P3300 and I'm really interested in knowing if exists any method (software, plugin, hardware, etc...) to switch the frequency of the FM radio (f.ex. to the next preset) directly through the button inserted in the earphones cable.
Some Nokia mobile phones already have this possibility, and the same button can chnage the frequency of the FM radio and also answer if someone is calling you.
Thanks in advance
Ok so I am starting to work on creating some apps with Android. Without giving away my idea I just want to describe basically what I need just to see if it even exists or I'd have to find a way to make one.
So what I need it a GPS unit that can be remote from my handset (I'll be using my Nook Color for dev in this case). Now normally you'd say, ok just use a bluetooth one, however I need its range to be far beyond what BT would provide. so I need something that would transmit signal over maybe RF to some sort of receiver that then I can hopefully connect to the USB port (or via blutotth) on the Nook or whatever other device. I need its range to be about a mile or so. Anyone know of something that exists like this?
If I were to build the device myself I would really only need it to transmit data every time the GPS unit crosses over a specific set of coordinates. This is why how it operates dictates how I will program this thing.
Any other suggestions of how to do this or ideas on if something like this even exists?
Does anyone know how activate the FM transmitter or someone creates an application?
FM Transmitter cannot be activated from software.. it required some hardware.. which is not available for HTC Desire
There were various discussions about this. The wireless radio chip in the Desire is specified to have FM RX/TX (on Broadcom's site) but nobody managed to activate it, since an antenna is missing or additional hardware.
Another thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622377&page=42 - the HD2 has the same chip as the Desire.
..........
Several years ago I had a Nokia N85 which would transmit on a certain frequency, enabling me to pick up the stream on my car radio and therefore listen to music through the car stereo/speakers.
Is there any way my DZ can do this, or is it an impossibility?
search for "fm transmitter" in market shows the app "tunelink", it needs some additional hardware tough to use it...
