Touch Pro2 (AT&T Tilt 2) FM Radio Question

I know the TP2 has a built in FM Radio. Will it also do HD Radio and/or AM Radio?

Definitely not on the AM Radio - It doesn't have the hardware for it. I suspect the HD Radio is out as well, but I'm not sure.

No I dont believe it can do AM or HD radio.
Has anyone gotten the FM radio to work without using headphones?

Won't work without headphones - it's the radio antenna.

But the nice thing is that with a decent streaming program you can easily play shoutcast or other streams which in my opinion is much better than any regular radio station!

i have a non-htc headphone adapter. its just bigger than a quarter. It still works with that plugged with no headphones...there must be a way to disable the headphone requirement because i think it will still work...any ideas?

Can you guys please share the FM application for HTC Touch Pro 2. A link in 4shared is greatly appreciated as I can't download using rapidshare.

[Q] FM transmitter in Galaxy ACE s5830

Hello Guys!
I'm a new user of Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I was just wondering whether the FM transmitter option can be implemented by any of the applications? or you have to buy any extra gadget for that?

You should have gotten a FM app preinstalled, look for a brown icon or press the menu button(and hold it) to search for it.

FM transmitter means to be able to play the music of your phone on a car/Audio system by setting the frequency of the phone's FM transmitter and the car's/Audio system's FM frequency
And @OP i have been trying but have had no luck with the same

its more a hardware dependent than software... so cannot be added on our ace..
if u are looking for ur car.. there are lot of fm transmitter available, through which u can play through ur usb drive, sd-cards, and even ur phone (though aux in wud also be needed for phone)..
try seraching it on ebay.

Does anyone know of I am missing something or if there are any good apps our there for it?
I have a panasonic TV, Yamaha receiver amp and sky. .. I was hoping for a universal type remote app?!
Thanks,
Ian

i have been using Smart IR Remote and works great but if you search Play for IR Remotes you will find a lot of them now.

Should have the app WatchOn installed. Check for that app.

Peel remote control came with mine

LoL just checked it again, on the Samsung Tab PRO web page (Belgium version) of the there is no mention at all about the IR... xD
I was pretty surprised when I saw the IR led on top of my 10.1
Anyway there is no app included on mine, So I'm gonna test some apps to see how it works

Just checked Samsungs site
Check out the attached image.

On the US version yes
But on the European version nothing

I was surprised as well when I found the IR emitter. Even weirder that there is no app provided in the Dutch version....which is probably just the generic EU version.

Smart IR Remote works nicely for me, I'm sticking with this
And good range as well.

i have the UK version, i had a look at that smart remote, its a fiver though and I just thought that it should come with one rather than having to pay!
Can I get hold of the solution from one of the other country versions from anywhere?
Cheers

conan1600 mentioned that his came with Peel Smart Remote.
You can download that for free from the Google play store.
and there are many others for free in the Google play store.

Same here, Smart Remote is well worth the money. The dev was really helpful in getting all my AV equipment working with the app.

You can also download watchon from samsung apps. I did and it is actually a very nice app and remote control

Great, thanks for the replies, will give them a go!

LG QRemote QuickRemote + Working ROM?

Hi please can someone tell me how to get LG QRemote (Or Quick Remote, as it's sometimes referred to) working on a UK LG G Pad 8.3? I got the tablet for free in a promotion when I bought an LG UHD TV and I thought after reading about QRemote (which is mentioned in all of the promotions for this device) that I could simply use the tablet mainly as a remote control for controlling all of the various AV components I have and of ditching the seven or so remote controls I currently have. I have tried some universal/learning remotes, but my success has varied in getting these to learn the codes for all of my devices.
However it turns out that the UK version didn't ship with QRemote preinstalled. The official word from LG was because in their view there was no demand for this feature in the UK. I of course have struggled to understand this point of view, but there seems to be little I can do about it. Also there doesn't seem to be a simple APK for this app that I can download.
My device does appear to have an IR blaster, but after trying a few IR Remote apps, none so far have been able to recognise that the IR blaster is there. I don't know if this has also been disabled in hardware, or if it's just a software limitation.
So my thoughts are that maybe either one of you guys can make an APK for this app for me and others like me and share it here, or maybe I could flash my G Pad with a custom American ROM, with QRemote included? If so is there any guide anywhere that would show me how to do this safely and how/where to obtain a custom ROM? I have already rooted the device, so hopefully that's half the battle.

Hi
Interesting thread
I was searching for my G Pad in order to find a way to inject another Quick Remote app (like that of G2) in it for having more options because G Pad per se only supports TVs, DVD players and Blue rays while a G2 for example includes also Data Projectors and Air Conditioners that are more practical for me at least.
Regarding to your case, I may upload my QR's APK and Odex for you but i am not sure whether it would work or not. Then if you wish so, let me know.
And about my case, if some one thinks it would be possible with no harm, i'd be glad to know.

I don't know if that would work either. Anyone? A custom Rom that includes it even?

All of the custom roms I have tried did not include the remote functionality. My G3 definitely has a better remote program. It is silly that the GPad remote program is gimped in the way that it is.

The IR blaster works and I got a version of QRemote from a pack of official LG apps supplied by one of the custom ROM developers for this device. But you are correct that it has been severely 'gimped' over what was originally advertised in the promotions for this device. It can currently only control some TV's some DVD players and some Blue-ray players. The learning features have been removed, as has the ability to control any AV components, or any other devices.
What exactly is the point of an IR blaster without this functionality? They gave me the G Pad with my TV. But currently the installed software can't even fully control my TV.
What alternatives are there, preferably with full learning functionality?

On the GPad itself, none that I am aware of. The device driver from what I have read for the IR functionality is locked down and no open source alternative works with the hardware. Until LG patches it, or releases the driver we have what we have but nothing more... (about all I can do with my Samsung TV that is useful for my setup is turn it on and change the input)

It was my understanding that the g pad only has a transmitter and no receiver which is why we can't get our tablet to learn from our remotes.

[Q] How to extract FM Radio from stock firmware?

I own an international SGS2 with Cyanogenmod 11. Would love to use FM radio. Tried Spirit FM light. Horrible. Would rather avoid to spend 5€ for unlocked version.
How about extracting apk from original Samsung firmware? Should it work or not?

It won't work. The Samsung FM radio app needs Samsung-modified framework components that aren't available as source. Spirit FM is the only choice for non-stock firmware and built-in radio chips.
The other alternative would be an RTL2832 USB TV tuner connected via a USB OTG cable, an external antenna, and SDR Touch app. That's probably not what you want.

Reexxxxx, !! i know how you feel, i ended using spirit. Spirit is good but its not as the stock fm. Thats the only thing we got bro !

RTL2832 USB TV via a USB OTG is huge battery drain and SDR Touch costs more that SpiritFM. On the other hand you may receive a lot more that with built in radio. I would for for SpiritFM unless you want to listen to police/taxi radio .

Try the new Spirit2 Free release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/spirit-fm/app-spirit2-free-source-real-fm-radio-t2951455
