Can you get an app for FM transmitter
so you can play your MP3's threw your radio in the car
my workmate has this ability to do this on his phone
( don't know what phone it is not an iPhone though)

I dont think that you can do that with only the phone, as it has only fm receiver not transmitter. But you can do that by buying an fm transmitter accessory. Or get a car radio with bluetooth functionality.
sure he doesnt just use an fm transmitter that you plug into the headphone socket, you can get them for mp3`s,phones,etc and are usually rubbish quality.
Nokia N97 has a built in transmitter doesn't it? I know the Desire you would need to buy a seperate transmitter.
there are number of phones that have FM Transmitting, .. unfortunattly the Desire is not one of them.
You can buy an FM Modulator, this will go into the cigarette thingy in the car, and you can plug in it an iPod or phone or any other that has a decent wiring connection.
radio quality suck though
Nokia N900 has it built in as well.
htc hd2 and nexus one have fm transmitter hardware but not activated ,may be desire has it also
The Desire have the same chip as the Nexus One, but it has the FM receiver enabled out-of-the box.
It should be possible to enable the FM transmitter aswell, but it's all in the drivers.
how or who activates it?

same processor does not mean same wireless chip
The HTC desire is believed to include the Broadcom BCM4329 wireless chip. The specification of this does include an FM Transmitter. Whether or not this can be activated in software is a different matter!

AFAIK both the Nexus and the Desire uses the same wireless chip aswell, the BCM4329. I haven't seen a teardown of the Desire yet, so there might be some differences, but I do not see why.

A teardown won't really prove anything unless you also identified and catalogued every component, proving that none of them are capable of being an FM transmitter? If you have this evidence, please post links. I am already 99.9% certain that no HTC phone has one built in but I like to be 100% sure
Either way, FM transmitters suck. They have to have an extremely weak signal and the sound quality is appalling. If you can afford it, go and grab a head unit that supports bluetooth stereo (A2DP). An FM transmitetr will sot you half as much anyway,
Bluetooth sound quality is much better and depending on the head unit, you should be able to play/pause/skip/vol up/vol down using the controls on the head unit and it will probably also be able to display album/track info.

Huh, seems that my edit previously did not make it.
I haven't found a teardown yet, but it should pop up in the next few days as easter is over now.
Just to make myself clear, I do not know that the Desire and Nexus have the same wireless chip. It just would not make any sense at all if HTC were to change it when everything else is the same.
It would be amazing if the FM transmitter was enabled in the desire.
I hope it gets in with 2.2 or something...
any idea about FM transmitter on desire...
i think that as the hd2 and nexus they all have wifi n, fm transmitter and receiver...it's just the software that needs tweaking....i am no guru at linux and android so if anyone manage to enable them it would be awsome....although it would be battery drain to transmit yourmusic all the time
Is there ever a possibility of hacking the evo's fm radio to become an fm transmitter?
Sorry if this is duplicate, searched around and didn't see anything else on it.

I highly doubt it. Taking a screen and making it into a camera is pretty much what your asking. Maybe you can buy a portable FM transmitter and somehow cram it into a external case that sticks out similar to the 3500mah battery.

no the hardware actually says its possible to transmit as well as recieve fm radio. now if someone could actually make it work....

radio transmitters and receivers aren't fundamentally that different. It's likely possible, but you would need to write it into the kernel.
I would love to see this happen and show it off to a friend that works with the Civil Defense.
No can do. A radio receiver, and transmitter do contain some of the same circuitry but are arranged differently. No software can change that. Plus the phone is not FCC type accepted for transmitting on the FM broadcast band.

The phone has an FM Radio Transceiver capable of both broadcasting and receiving. I believe the major reason why we haven't seen a transmitter mode, even HTC, is due to FCC licensing. I'm not too savy on the FCC's world, but I would imagine that the EVO's transmitter would fall under the same low-power group as those little iPod and other PMP FM transmitters that just plug in to the headphone jack.
Might be something to bring up with Cyanogen and some of the kernel devs, after they get the FM receiver working.
I'd like to see this... Bring it up to cyanogen...

Ah, what exactly do you guys want to transmit? Signal wouldn't get very far...
We've been through this before.

Some of us have cars which are too old to have an Auxilary input, but too new to have a tape deck.
Ha! I read some other posts, and realized that it would definitely be a handy feature. I resigned myself to burning CD's from my music collection, as it got annoying to connect my iPod to an FM transmitter. Extra wires, chargers, and so on.
Well, hopefully someone figures it out. Probably kill the battery though.

I would suggest a hardwired FM modulator to add an aux port. My wife's 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor didn't have one and the FM transmitters sounded crappy to me. Took me about an hour to hardwire a FM modulator in and now she essentially has an AUX port. It sounds much better than the transmitters since it's injecting it's FM frequency directly through your radio's antenna port.
Here's one pretty similar to what I installed - LINK
The drawback compared to a FM transmitter is that this is not portable.
Another possibility is to just purchase a new radio. Some car stereo's with aux inputs are cheaper than a new EVO.
I stopped using my FM transmitter with my iPod a long time ago because I hated the extra cables, and the transmission wasn't very good, though I tried several.

Is there some car audio manufacturer that actually makes nice stock-looking radios with features like BT, equalizer, and aux-in, without having to have 20 blinking LEDs or looking like it was part of a boombox from the 90s?
Hello folks!
I am wondering wether it is possible that we could enjoy some sort of FM transmitter app on the galaxy nexus, so that we can stream audio to a specified FM setup and listen to our phone's music on our car radio or bathroom radio? I know it doesn't come with stock ICS but maybe a little hack can do some good?
cheers
This is a Q&A topic ...
And the answer is NO, it is not possible. There is no emitter hardware in these phones.

no FM hardware, as far as I know.

The theory:
The Broadcom BCM4330 single chip device provides the highest level of integration for a mobile or handheld wireless system, with integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g and single-stream 802.11 n (MAC/baseband/radio), Bluetooth 4.0+HS, and FM radio receiver and transmitter. It includes on-chip 2.4GHz and 5 GHz WLAN power amplifies that meet the output power requirements for most handheld systems while permitting and optional external power amplifier for higher output power applications. It leverages an integrated ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor and on-chip memory. This device was extracted from the Murata KM1602121 module.
The radio transmitter hardware is made from 2 pieces. The first piece is represented by the control chip while the second one is represented by the rf discreet components like coils , capacitors and everything else in between. This second part is missing.

FM transmitters are things of the 90s. Get a new stereo, and you can stream bluetooth. Better quality, less noise/interference, shows track info, skip tracks from stereo...
Win/win

that's not what he was saying. He was saying that using FM from your phone to your car radio is pointless when Bluetooth is better quality. He was not saying anything bad about over the air FM radio I believe.
Not that I am trying to put words in his mouth, nor do I particularly agree with him.

and if so..is it goes with the ringke fusion?
thank you
I would suggest acquiring somebody's old MP3 player that has radio functionality, instead. Generally they just need the right ear buds that came with the device since mobile devices tend to use the headphones as an antenna.
I would only use an FM transmitter if it's your only way to get music to your car. An aux port/Bluetooth connection are going to be significantly better, and even one of the tape adapters will be a step up from the FM transmitter.
If you really need to use an FM transmitter, look for one that runs off the DC power in your car as opposed to something with a battery.

I'm not specifically endorsing that one, but the adapter-powered transmitters will typically have a higher transmission power than the battery powered models, so you will get a clearer signal.
Is there a FM radio in Snapdragon model

Nope. Where's the headphone jack to serve as the antenna?

Is right underneath the USB-C port which only the supplied AKG buds can operate. Unfortunately only the G98xN South Korean oriented variant has it, which is also a 5G Exynous device. That is, you have to pay some extra bucks for a 5G device to get FM radio, same as Samsung did with the twin note 10's.
Bottom-line, the lack of 3mm headphone jack has nothing to do with the possibility to include a functional FM chip, just like a decade or so ago the Samsung GT-C5130 jack-less phone had a working built in tuner operated with a proprietary pair of buds connecting to a serial port which doubled as a USB\charging connector.

Not so, the Hong Kong Variant SM-G9860 has FM Radio and the Snapdragon SOC.

Huh. I got a S20 Ultra 5G from South Korea (SM-G988N), and strangely FM radio does not work with the original USB-C wired AKG buds (they sound amazingly well, let me say, with digital formats, YouTube Vanced, etc), but when I turn on FM radio the app throws a message sayin' that these buda can't be used as antena.
I'm using a online radio app tho -OpenRadio-, but I feel annoying to have a FM chip that serve for nothing...
hello, this is quite late but can you share the apk file of your fm radio app, I would like to try it with the 3.5mm jack adapter for type-c to see if it can provide analog signal for the fm radio. I can't seem to find an apk file that installs correctly on my device. thanks
