I need to know which one includes the FM antenna, are these them?
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=169462
If not, can you link me? I wanna test out this FM radio and see how it goes. Thanks.
Nevermind, found a headset that says it has the FM antenna built in... Wish me luck.

Which one?
Does it allow you to use your own headphones?

I don't think so, honestly I don't care, I don't have a pair of my own headphones right now. No mp3 player... Which is why I have the Raphael.
HS S300 is coming with the device
Right now I am using a Senheisser with a converter, there is no problem with the musicplayer or fm-radio, everything is working fine

Ok as the heading stated we just need some people to test this radio especially if they have another device with built in Radio.
I Have managed to extract it from a Polaris Rom and compiled it into a cab.
So far it install ok [ Multimedia Folder] When activated it ask for headset to be plugged in [ this is why I believe its has to do with the Headset ] But nothing happens when the kaiser headset is plugged in.

Please provide feedback and help if can.
Thankyou, sir..

Hi,
tested without hands free, got please insert FM antenna.
Inserted the Artemis Hands free Kit. Then nothing, no warning and the App would not lauch. Any ideas?
I can borrow a HF kit for the next 50 mins or so.
Same here dutty.
It asks for headset, but when you plug it in, nothing happens.

I'm wondering if the polaris headset is compatable with the kaisers as this would let us know directly.
I get this message;
"Your wired headset serves as an FM antenna. PLug in the headset and tap Retry to continue."
Would the settngs of the XML file have anything todo with it??
I know very little about such things!!

Does the Kaiser have a radio tuner?
according to the wiring diagram for the Kaiser, there is no radio tuner for FM radio... not sure how this would be possible then...

just a wild stab...anyone tried a bluetooth headset or headphones?
Possible
Have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338238 it discusses the fact the Polaris and Kaiser have the same Chipset which in theory could support FM radio.
Typically, for a phone to work as an FM radio, the wired headset has to be plugged in to act as the antenna. Bluetooth headsets won't work, as there's no cable to receive the radio signal.
Similarly, if the usb port on the phone isn't wired up to the FM radio hardware inside, it's never going to receive a signal either.
I don't think anything's going to come of this, but I commend Dutty for trying.

I will have another run through the registries to see if I can find anything else regarding he radio. Someone told me its the same with some other phone, that the tuner is build it the headset so I feel 85% that this coulld work for the kaiser with the same headset as the polaris

Would it be possible that the Polaris has another chip for FM? I dunno just a wild guess. I want FM too, but it doesn't make sense that it doesn't work. I just let my friend borrow my Tilt (he's going out of town and needed GPS); so I'm unable to test at the moment, but will do when I get it back. Since I got a Tilt it didn't come with a headset, but I have one of those extUSB to female 3.5mm things from eBay that I've been using with my Trinity. We'll see how it goes.

Your absolutely right but the kaiser and polaris is almost the same,
If I told you I flash a polaris rom on my kaiser with just changing some drivers and I flash it without editing it and it booted and worked 100%

Having read the thread the both use the same chipset and no-one can see an extra chip for FM. It's way above my head though. . I imagine you need to get the radio to recognise the antenna and all should work... Dutty...?
Another Possibilty is that its dependant on a specific Rom Radio like before with gps
I have recently bought an HTC Touch cruise. Is there any way to listen to the radio via bluetooth headset? I hate using the wired headset, it's just too cumbersome. Any help would be appreciated.
no, because the headset is your antenna, too.

Thanks. I used the search function on the forum and found many previous discussions on it.
An APP came with my Note saying it was FM Radio
Tried to use it but it keep coming up and saying you must start the Radio
Cant find out where to start the Radio either FM or otherwise?
Anyone any ideas?
Help!
pete
As far as I know you have to plug the earphones, start FM radio app, press central round bottom and if the phone is in airplane mode you have to disable it and it should work.
OK will try that
Was hoping it would work with the speakers but from what you say it will only work with earphones?
Will try tomorrow - battery flat now!
pete
it has to have the headphones plugged in as the jack is used as the antenna the same on ALL mobile phones
you should be able to put it on speakerphone once its started, you can just use the jack instead of the headphhones if you have one to act as the antenna

An app will not be able to do this, you would need an AM/FM transmitter. You can buy devices which plugs into the headset jack and transmits on AM/FM frequencies.

It's possible to make it work if there is a connection between chip and headphone jack. (For antenna)
I talked to the developer of SPIRIT FM and he told me this
Code:
Thanks for the log.
It looks like it has a Qualcomm FM/BT/WiFi combo chip.
But the kernel does not have the needed Qualcomm "IRIS" V4L FM driver at /dev/radio0.
Disabling the kernel driver is pretty unusual; even Google Nexus devices don't do that, despite that their FM antenna pins are hardware disabled.
A kernel that supports the FM V4L driver is needed to test any further.
Let's see
The easiest thing I have found which I listen to local channels is I-heart radio. I've had many phones in the past that had FM but never used it because I get what I want from I-heart radio and I use Bluetooth headset with mine.

I-Heart Radio is good but it uses bandwidth not all local radio stations are available.
Interesting, I'd love to see if having this included in a custom kernel will make an FM tuner app work..

not sure how that's used. OPO is a BT 4.1 device, so i'm not sure that they've identified the correct part.

Well if you can zoom in the picture and look on chip itself it clearly shows as WCN3680. And as per BT 4.1 its just a patch it can applied to most or all 4.0 devices.
I've asked Franco to look into it as well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r1-t2800871
Looks like it's a no go

I was checking my opo ..fooling around and saw this "Qualcomm WCN3680" and then I saw an FM radio hmmm I thought OPO didn't have, then google it and here we are
Why use a chip with fm tuner and disable it? ..unless it's defective ones from qualcomm with fm tuner in a non working condition ..but cheaper
This is a topic where the spirit FM dev helps with enabling FM on the One.

I'd love to try this, but I do not know that much about building my own kernel. Anyone else that is willing to try this or can at least point me in the right direction?
Why almost all the customize ROMs do not include FM radio function?
FM radio is not important, but useful and happy with that.
Maybe this will help : https://android.googlesource.com/ke...4-kitkat-mr1/drivers/media/radio/radio-iris.c
Its true. I hope CM folks can enable it.
