FM Radio Not Working

I installed the Htc Fm Radio Cab from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521356 to work on my Sprint Htc Touch Pro2 but i can't get it to work the cab installs good and everthing but theres no sound being outputted

I've installed the Radio as well and cannot get any output. Tuner seems to not be able to find any stations. Tried multiple headsets but no joy.

I very well could be wrong, but I remember on the Specs for the Original Touch Pro, that if you were lucky enough to get one that had the FM Radio Built in, you had to use the Mini USB headphones that came with the Touch Pro. I still have mine from my TP, but have not tried it yet on the TP2.

I tried mini usb with installed htc radio. But no luck on tp2 from Sprint. I need this radio very much.

same problem on the Verizon TP2 using the 3.5mm jack...radio does not find any stations, and manually tuning does not provide any sound.

The Sprint and Verizon models do not have a FM radio. I guess they had to make room when they made the phones both CDMA and GSM.

Look under the "Analog Radio:" row.

didn't they say the GSM one didn't have an FM tuner also and yet this program exists to open it up.

Do we really think the FM radio hardware isn't in there or is it just a possibility that it is disabled?

What is the exact actions of the program? I not a programer, but I do understand how a lot of it works. To control the device the program is probably trying to write to various memory locations. If it's there, we just need to know what the memory map is. Based on it's actions I may be able to guess about what's happening. Also, I believe that writing to the wrong memory locations could create problems.
Any programers out there please feel free to correct me on this stuff.

Both programs (htc and power radio) seem like they work, but neither receives a signal. I can't tell if they seem to be actually running the FM hardware or if they are just "running blind" not actually doing anything. I know when I tried this on my Touch Pro, the software would error out, like the FM hardware wasn't even there. I know there's a spec sheet out there that says the FM radio is not supported, but at what level? Hardware, software or both? If it's software, there has to be a way around it.

Well if it makes a difference this is what the registry said on my Sprint TP2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\FMRadio\FMPlayer]
"Channel"=dword:00015694
"AudioPath"=dword:00000000
"Deemphasis"=dword:00000000

Lets get this working would be great!

I found out the FM radio for the Pro was integrated into the Bluetooth chipset. If that's true for the TP2 as well then once we get a teardown we should be able to find out if it's in there. I couldn't find a teardown for the GSM TP2. If someone can find it then we can probably make a good guess if the hardware is there. If it is again part of the same chip as the Bluetooth then I would bet a week's paycheck that it's the same chip in the CDMA variant.

I posted over on ppcgeeks and a response i got from a regular post says you need a gsm only phone in order for it to work.

if I'm not mistaken, the hardware isn't there, so you're wasting your time

Please read the posts. The FM radio in CDMA versions of TP2 does not work. Latest available information seems to indicate that the code to initialize the FM tuner during boot is either not there or blocked. (probably greedy careers trying to push users towards "data plan" oriented music services)
There is a sticky post on top with a link and further info.

What Rapheal Phone do I have

Hi,
I am on a mission today, to upgrade my phone. Currently I have Windows Mobile 5.2.21812 and its very unstable.
I know nothing about flashing these, as I bought the phone from EBAY not knowing it had Windows Mobile 6.5 on it.
I notice reading in the forums, I need to know if its CDMA, or GSM etc ? How would I tell that please? Phone is HTC Touch Pro.
Many thanks.

If your phone has a SIM Card Slot then its a GSM Model. If it has no SIM Card then its CDMA.

Ohhhh I see Thank you ever so much.
Would this be the right ROM to use - just making sure, before I start to read all the instructions ..............

You didnt say what phone you have - so we cant tell!
If you have a GSM phone (sim card) then you want to start reading here If however you have a CDMA phone (no sim card) then here would be a good place to look

Steveyg, Touch Pro's are CDMA too. No one wants to help you if you're going to brick your device. Are you GSM or CDMA? We will assist as much as possible, but help us by answering that simple question.

Ohhh I understand now
Mine is a phone with a SIM, thus GSM is that correct?

Radio is comparable to something like your WiFi card in your laptop. Depending on your location, etc, some radios are better than others. They control your signal, GPS, WiFi, etc. The most used one that I've seen is 1.14.25.35
UC Capable is something you need when you start cooking. If you're new to the Raph, you probably don't need this info yet.
SPL is the most important. Since you bought your device pre-flashed with 6.5, is should be hardSPL. This helps prevent your device from becoming an expensive paperweight. Now, it helps, but doesn't guarantee. If you put your device into bootloader (hold vol-, hold power, and reset with stylus) your device at the top of your screen should say something like SPL-1.90.Olinex. This means it's hardSPL and you are able to flash custom ROMS, like the NRGZ28 ROM you linked to. As long as they are GSM you should be able to flash any ROM for the GSM Touch Pro.
These are the basics so just keep reading the wiki. I will answer any questions I can, so just shoot me a PM if needed

Hey, if you want to flash your Raphael, I'd recommend you read this
I did my first, regardint this thread, and actually worked, really simple if you ask me!
Some suggestions: Leave the radio, for first, just do a simple ROM flash, and after that if you find it nessescery you can do it later.
The only ROM I tried for my Raphael is TAEL's ROM, it's amazing compared to the stock ROMs!!! If you're intrested click on it in my signature!

I have the following ROM;-
r:- 1.11.25.01
g:-52.58.25.30u
d 5. phoenix
Do I have to revert to a OEM ROM? If so, where do I find those please?

Good news, I've been sucessfull Phoned imaged to TAEL Roms - very good.
Could of questions;-
1. Don't have the sat nav the other image had. Can't remember the name of it. but I used to use that quite alot. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
2. Used to have an application called FLASHLIGHT - great little app. Its a TOURCH application that used the FLASH Light. Really handy. Where can I download it please.
Many thanks.

1) are you talking about the garmin or tomtom gps software? or the one where you use the GPS to lock down a location (kinda like "dude where's my car?" app for the iphone)
search on the forums under software development subforum. it's called Torch.. that or NueLight.

Thanks I managed to find the torch light thing, but still can't find the sat nav. Not sure what the name was. It was really good though. Wasn't the tom tom navigator. Wish I made a note of it, as it was fully working version :-(

are you talking about the GPS navigation software? if so then it's either garmin (mobile XT) or tomtom

Hi,
Looking on my storage card Managed to find the name - AUTO MAPA. Tried to load it from the storage card, and it works. So I have copied the exe to the start menu, multimedia folder and it works great
Whats this GARMIN Mobile XT like then?

Since updating to TAEL Rom, my signal is very low and keeps disconnecting from the network.
Do I need to upgrade my RADIO then?
My version is;-
1.11.25.01

I found this one, would this work ?
http://www.4shared.com/file/133094257/1e1ce983/BlackStone_Radio_1172509.html

try testing other radio. I changed my radio to the new ATT official rom (not so new anymore but it was the latest updated ATT rom). Test it out for a few days each and map out what you think works best and keep to that.
One thing I noticed is that some radios will crash your phone after a call.. they may give you better signals, but it will crash your phone, so be aware of that.

Hi,
Thanks for the message. Does it matter that I am on TMOBILE and not ATT ?

Connectivity

Hi all,
Was trying to search for the answer but came up with nothing. I'm thinking the answer is no but are you able to use a 3g/4g usb dongle with the VS Gtab or is it WiFi only?
Thanks,
Ho'okani

I'm looking for this answer also before buying one. Can someone please let us know. Thanks

Some 3g modems work with some roms, at least. I don't have one, but I know that the Huawie 1550 works with the Calkulin rom under the current revision by Clemsyn. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024120
Somewhere in there, they discuss other links to 3g stuff.

[Q] WinMobile 6.1 Bluetooth tether help needed

I'm a total noob to android so please forgive the total lack of knowledge. I have the HTC Touch Pro 2, (european version) and I want to run my TF tethered via bluetooth off my phone. Can someone PLEASE post steby by step instructions, both for what needs to be done on the phone AND the TF in order to get this to work? I've been trying for a few days now and nothing. I can pair the phone with the tablet but it says "paired but not connected". It's frustrating.
Thanks for any help!

No chit it's frustrating. I've been trying myself with the same setup and N A D A!!! I'm no rocket scientist but daaaaammmmm why is this hard???

I had a diamond before my evo, and I know there were apps out there that did wifi tethering. Have you looked into that?

wifi tethering wastes much more power, why are ppl so ignorant of this? no one in the Android camp seems to be informed enough to ask for Bluetooth tethering, which is what bluetooth was largely designed for in the first place.
Windows Mobile had this for ages.

THANK YOU! Bluetooth people...BLUETOOTH! Anyways, looks like I can pretty much forget about this. Not many people have had any success. My friends iPhone tethers via bluetooth no prob, but then I'd have to buy the Iphoe and....hang out at startbucks.

I can't help you with windows mobile but I tether via bluetooth from my nexus one to my Transformer without issue with nothing needed at the transformer end.
If the device doing the tethering supports the profile the TF is expecting it just works (Pix or it didn't happen attached).
[Edit]
Looks like Android uses the PAN profile and Winmob may be exposing the older DUN profile

Thanks SilentMobius
I have gotten as far as the TP2 showing connected and tethered on the phone as well as the symbol on the Transformer, but it will just not transfer data. I'm asuming that any Android phone would be able to tether w/the Transformer? I'm with Sprint and guess I need 2 upgrade to the Evo or something.

Probably not I'm using http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ for the bluetooth tethering (cm7 only have wifi built in) It has limited compatibility and only works on rooted phones, but it's been around since the G1 and is pretty stable.

Would you try "BT Files Transfer" for testing this function?

Not sure about WM6.1, but on my TD2 running WM6.5 it works fine. Pair up the phone and TF then run Internet Sharing on the phone (its in the Tools folder on mine). Select Bluetooth (PAN) from the dropdown instead of USB and hit connect. You should then be able to tether from the TF by selecting the phone from the bluetooth settings

3G Usb modem on the Xoom?

Hello
I know this has been asked before, but no conclusion was presented.
I have an Huawei E173 3G usb modem i primarily use for my car stereo(Parrot Asteroid, this runs Android 1.5/1.6 this has support for a lot of usb dongles)
I want to to use this with my Wifi Xoom via an usb OTG cable.
As of now i doesn't work.
This because the lack of drivers and APN settings on the Xoom.
I have read the thread over at the XDA acer iconica tab forum about this, and they got it to work. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14603952 )
The android drivers for a lot of usb dongles exist, but how to get them to work on the xoom?

Tiamat kernel has the needed modules (usb_wwan.ko), so, you need just the script to set up connection. You can try with this one, maybe you need to change something...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058846
I dont have, the otg cable, but as soon as i can get one i'm trying to get this work...

I'll check it out.
For the moment i don't have an OTG cable either. Waiting for a new one from ebay.

Hi, I have got a Tiamat 2.1 rom, and I have a uk wifi only version XOOM. However, I can not find any setting about APN. How can I make a 3G USB model work on my wifi only XOOM?
Thank you

I'm totally curious too. I have a WIFI XOOM and I just got a nice USB HSPA+ stick from Videotron and I wanna see if I can get it to work via OTG - I checked OS Monitor (Tiamat ROM) and it seems the stick is detected, with a dead IP 169.254 etc...
so I just need a dialer! Any news at all?
Thanks in advance!

any solution yet?i have tried everything possible, bricked my device couple of time, its teasing me :'(

I also wanna to try. But two problems here:
(1)"/etc/ppp/peers" is Read Only file system, so it is impossible to put dialing scripts there.
(2)I don't have proper drivers.
Can anyone help?

About the question (1) above, I've got done with it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341585.

Any solution with dialers yet? Really need this to work
