Radio version checking/flashing? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

How do you check your radio driver version, and what version are people using? I get a lot of scratchy noises on calls and am wondering if the driver is to blame.
Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but I can't find any Sapphire-specific info on this, just some stuff for Dream users of the Sapphire port.

boot up with BACK+POWER

Aha, thanks. RADIO-2.22.19.26I, googling that now...

Found a quote saying the above version is only for the G1 Dream, but not a lot else.
What radio version are the rest of you using? Do you have scratching noises on calls?

3. Never EVER start a new thread to address a problem on a custom ROM...use the ROM's thread.

Hello group!
My Tilt came with a black thingie that plugs into the wall and has an odd looking adapter on the other end. What do I do with this?
Do not flame me because I am new! I am asking because the book that came with my TILT is too thick to read! I thought about searching, but then I said "**** it" and just posted a new thread about what this black thing is that plugs into the wall.
Now, do not reply to this stupid assed thread unless you tell me what I want to know! I need DETAILS FOLKS! Like, what it is, what it does, how I can modify it, why it might/might not work, how I can get a diferent one, etc...
ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION!!!!!!!!!

Technical or Software problem

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

FM Radio on Sprint Touch Pro/Diamond

So thus far there is no FM radio cab on the Touch pro from sprint.
If you are interested in the sprint diamond, there is a fix for that in the diamond forums both here and at ppcgeeks.
If you are interested in a fix for the Fuze:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2692292&postcount=204
from what i under stand that works..

I don't think there is a rom out there yet for the Sprint Touch Pro - it's a CDMA phone so none of the existing roms will work on it (I assume?).
Any luck with this anyone
no luck
Just loaded the cab i found in one of the threads. installed on my sprint touch pro and loaded fine. but would not play. I think they removed the hardware.

Did you have headphones plugged in? On the Fuze I had to install the cab and plug the headphones in before the program would run because it uses the headphones as an antenna.
yeah i plugged them in. it did say i needed to do it before hand but no luck, just shows that little colorful circle waiting icon. I assume it is searching for a signal or something and then will just sit there and nothing works. Maybe that is why the unit is a smidge smaller than the gsm version.
Same thing here, app installs fine but doesn't do anything.
same here but how about the headphones with built in fm radio antenna has anyone tried those and see if it works?

It shouldn't matter. On the Fuze I just plugged in a pair of iPod earbuds and the FM radio worked great.
Don't want to kill the buzz, but my understanding is that Sprint took it a step further than AT&T and neutered the phone to remove the radio chip so there is no software solution...

I don't think so. They took the same exact hardware that AT&T did except that the mold is different (appearance). It is probably only restricted by software. Try installing the cab for the fm radio. It could possibly work.
I installed the cab and it wouldn't work on my sprint touch pro.

I installed the FM Radio App on my Touch Pro and, with the headphones plugged, the app starts, waits for a little bit, and then I get an "Unspecified Error".
Do we know for a fact that the FM circuitry has been removed? Is there a driver that needs to be installed in Windows Mobile? Could the radio be re-enabled via a change in the firmware?

It could be the FM Radio is specific to the GSM versions of the phone. But we need a tech person to prove that.
im curious to see what the answer to this question is. i would like to have fm radio in conjunction to my sirius subscription

I wouldn't say that. Along with changing from GSM to CDMA cellular radios they could have changed virtually anything. At this point there is no telling wether the hardware is present or not. I'd love an FM radio on my Sprint Pro, but I'm not too optimistic.
I wanted the radio, too. But as a pratical matter, I doubt it would have worked too well unless you were right on top of the station. I find I can listen to most of the radio I want using Kinoma's media guide. It's wonderful. I'm still hoping someone discovers a way to activate the radio. How ignorant of Sprint to disable it.....
Why is it always SOMETHING with every Sprint phone? Why do they always have to disable something? What good does it do them to disable the FM radio?

Well thats a no brainer there bud...if we all had the FM Radio working thanks to this new HTC Product..then Sprint would get there ass kicked in regards to their sprint store with the music downloads and all... It takes from their profitasbility for us to have the Built in FM Radio functioning.

Bamboozling SMS Issue...

I've struggled with this issue for days now... Maybe somebody can help.
I'm dropping most of my text messages. I can successfully send them, but I do not receive them.
I figured it was a problem with SuperbadCM 1.5, because the problem seemed to begin after I updated to 1.5. I've tried downgrading, flashing after a wipe, removing LauncherPro (memory issues?)... nothing fixed it. Then I tried the latest CM5.0.8t2 on a clean wipe, no good, and even flashed an old nandroid of King's 1.5 sense rom... still no message.
What could be the issue? AFAIK everything else works.
I doubt it matters, but I'm using a G1 latest radio and dangerspl. I'm not sure if a logcat of this is possible, but I'll provide whatever info necessary. Thanks for your help. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
if you know what rom it is from would it not make more sense to post in that rom thread and or use SEARCH to find if others witht he same rom are having the same issues and know of a fix....
have you tried a different rom? maybe an eclair 2.1 perhaps??
I've had the very same issue on DangerSPL. I'd recommend using Firerat's AnySPL Patch on Cyan's mod while using stock/Hard/Engineering SPLs.

makes sense, because the issue probably lies on a lower level than the rom. I'll try this now, thank you.
I flashed HardSPL over 2.22.23.02, then Firerat's AnySPL CM5.0.8t1. I'm still not getting text messages... Any other ideas? This is a pretty serious issue for me :/ what's most confusing is the problem occurred months after it was working fine.
If the problems still occurs, you may want to contact your service provider about this problem.

What country are you in? I'll bet its the hsxpa and gprs class settings.
Also, you pretty much answered your own question in the first post, it happened after you went to a specific ROM, there's something wrong with it's settings.
It's all right. There was a time when the opposite-sex didn't want to text me back either!
Mmm. Mommys making me ribs! Anyone want some?
And HEY! Just because most of my posts are pointless, doesn't mean you can flame me!

But I got the problem sorted out... Proto was right, apparently I had a bad sim card somehow and got it swapped out. It wasn't the spl or any rom.

Did you try handcent sms? It has a workaround to an android bug that leads to sms loss when there's not enough memory available.
Yup. Baby steps. Last time this happened to me it was a network issue in my area and just had to wait it out. Any time I'm having SMS issues, I always call to see if the network is jacked up before heading another direction.
Did you not get a notification of a bad SIM? I thought these phones would have been able to detect a bad SIM... At any rate, I'm glad you got it fixed up.

[Q] FM Radio on Galaxy S 4G?

I heard that some models of the Galaxy S line have FM Radios built in. Anyone know if it's built-in and disabled, or if it's on and we just need an app for it?
I've looked in the market for an FM radio app, and for a solution but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Officially, I've seen it's nonexistant, but some seem to have doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I too would like to get this feature working. From this site:

It says that the hardware is there. So it's only a matter of someone figuring out how to remove the block!

do you have to have a certain model like I had a mytouch 3g but there were so many different models 32a and 32b and voderfone so is it the same case for the SGS4G

Well there are a few hardware specification mistakes; for example, it says the CPU is Samsung manufactured, while it is in not that, but a Hummingbird CPU.
Hummingbird was codeveloped by Samsung and Intrinsity. Check wiki.

Why not just download a radio app and use that? You get way more stations that way.
Sigh. Wish someone would figure out the right answer. And if it does have a tuner, turn it on! Oh well...

Uses data, and probably a lot more battery compared to a tuner.
