is it possible to use internal FM radio (e.g blackstone fm radio) as a build in FM transmitter to transmit sound from my phone to my car radio? is it possible by software or is special hardware required?!
Dont think so.. A receiver is not a transmitter. its like trying to burn dvd with a dvd player..
that was my thought either, but it also was just an idea how our devices hardware maybe can be manipulated by software for a different use. and I won't think about the example with the dvd-burning in a dvd-reader, more like using a mic as a speaker, when you plug it differently into e.g a dictaphone ... or something
I don't believe that you can.
It seems to be possible on some chip like BCM4329 that is included in some phone (desire Z or nexus 1). Don't know if some mod ever used this FM tx chip.

Hello,
are there any up-to-date devices that have ability to record FM radio besides Samsung Omnia? Why there isnt any way to make some application for Xperia or another htc devices to record radio? Is it possible for Windows mobile devices at all or smartphone manufacturers are so extremely thrifty of adding absolutely primitive 0,1cent worth hardware feature to route fm radio through operating system??
Thank you
Most phones don't have the hardware. Since you obviously have no idea about how this hardware works, I won't bother explaining why that's probably a good idea.
The Touch Pro does have FM and you are welcome to write an application that records from it.
I think I dont understand you, so please, bother and explain me why thats a good idea.
Not only Touch Pro has fm radio, lot of wm phones have it, but according some forums the only one problem is that fm receiver output is linked directly to headphone out, so you can write million apps which will have no effect at all because the signal is routed outside the hardware that operating sytem manages.
The idea of 0,1cent worth hardware feature can be two wires that will routre audio signal from FM receiver to e.g. mic input so that it can be recorded. What is so difficult about recording FM radio on WM? Apps that can do it arent the problem.
Recording FM
After reading the minimal thread, It would be nice if we all contacted HTC and other manufactures to "encourage" them to enable their devices to record FM directly to the SD card. I have an Coby unit that is great for this you can listen to the program you are recording and the headset is the antenna...BUT it would be nice to leave it at home, one less gaget.
Hello,
I often attend meetings that are broadcast over FM frequency. I am wondering if anyone knows of an app that I could use to record off of the FM radio.
One of my friends has the samsung omnia, and that phone FM radio has the feature built in,, is there something like that I can use for my phone?
thanks!
Resco Pocket Radio seems to offer the ability to record from radio? I know it's a pain buying another radio programwhen the device has one built in, but there is a free trial..

Thanks for the reply about Resco radio. I tried that but sadly it only records from internet streaming radio, it is not an fm receiver.
I am still looking for something that can just record from the local FM frequency.
any leads?
thanks!
Atm it's not possible to record digitally directly from FM radio... It's needed a driver that drives the signal directy to the recording function. Atm that driver doesn't exist.
In the meanwhile you can use just the microphone to record any audio coming from TD2.

It not working.. After starting FM radio, then I go back to the tape machine, an error message appeared:
Unable to open audio input
Please try to close other audio applications, and ask for support if that doesn't help.

After that, I try play the FM radio first and then run the tape machine. The same arror appeared.
I hope, who have developing the call in/out recording can develop this function too.
Absolutely not
This is absolutely not the same thing lol
However, I think you can manage something if you would like to make a sacrifice
You need to have the headphones on to listen fm radio and they have a special connector to let them be detected by the htc.
You may with a small handyworks and the loose of the headphones manage to adapt something to the headphone wire. After all, what come to your ears is normal sound from a normal wire that you should be able to plug elsewhere. I never tried, I do not know if it may work but for exemple just put the wire of the headphone over the wire of the micro can work.
Refer to a hifi specialist for more info
im using Resco Pocket Radio on my mobile and it works very will for record any thing
Anyone know if there is an App that allows you to transmit at a frequency that can be picked up by your car radio?
That is hardware specific, nothing to do with software if the hardware doesn't support it.
I can not figured out the reason
why we still not have working FM Radio under Android/Froyo on Polaris?
Nexus One, Motorola Droid2, Dell Streak seems to have it already working:

Why not we?
Do we have other chip responsible for FM radio?
Which? (can not find model/name too)
Could somebody from gurus explain what we need for it?
Missed files? Patched kernel?
(and please don't offer to use any internet radio instead: I know I may do it)
I think its BRF6350 is the chip we are using for bluetooth and the fm radio (same chip) ,cant think what firmware we use brf6350.bin or brf6300.bin.
Also we'd have to sort the antenna out as the bluetooth uses internal and radio use's external (headphone's).

I have been talking to the developer of the Spirit FM Radio app. For those who don't know about this app, on certain devices you can use the bluetooth chip to receive FM radio. Well anyhow it looks like this tab does not have this capability.

Just a bluetooth & fm are built in the one chip, therefore they enabled same time
