I'm also looking for any info and the threads about an at&t and rogers radio in development just confuse me. I'm kinda new to android and wish there was some sort of crash course

The skyrocket does not have a FM radio antenna in it so no FM radio for us

in other pages, says the skyrocket has FM radio with RDS, but disables it for att users consume streaming and leverage their networks tle
Cooks need only create a rom or kernel to activate the radio, or someone who has one to remove the doubts and told us if you have no fm radio chip as the i9100
"FM" radio has nothing to do with data/LTE. Please post a link where you found this information.
You guys are talking about regular ol fm radio right? Like the one in your car?

FM reciever is listed here as being present on the skyrocket

Ok. Well....do you see a radio apk in your app drawer? Go to the Samsung website and look at the official specs from Samsung. You won't see fm radio included. Or better yet flash the cm7 Rom in our dev section and try to use the fm radio thats included. It won't work. No fm radio on skyrocket

I understand what your saying, just wondering why so many sites have it listed as being part of the phone.
I was wondering the same thing buddy. Kinda confusing. I was pretty sad when I figured out we didn't have a fm radio

When is there going to be a NS4G forum?
i don't think we need one
it's the same phone
only the radio is different

He's right it would actually be better to keep the community tighter

That's like making a NS I9023 forum. The nexus s forums needs as many people as possible.

IMO this forum should be merged with Nexus 1 forum
and call it Nexus
then we can put back every developer into the same place, and encourages more dev & support to release ROMs that are cross platform (hardware) compatible

They are not the same device.
Obviously a Nexus S ROM is not going to work on a Nexus S 4G.
Really needs to be its own forum. Or at least subforum.
When I get my Nexus S 4G I don't want to have to weed through a bunch of GSM ROMs and kernels I can't use before I find something I can flash on my phone.

according to what was mentioned in other topics about the 4G version it is still a GSM radio, just 4G instead of 3G
it's not a CDMA radio if that's what you had in mind

I thought it was a CDMA radio? I know the AT&T one is the same but the Sprint version has to be totally different or no?

The Nexus S 4G is a CDMA enabled device available on Sprint. The 4G is powered by WIMAX. To my knowledge, there is no plans for a 4G Nexus S on GSM (HSPA+). The AT&T Nexus S will be capped at 7.2 DL speed same as the TMO variation.
I think they should just have the nexus s and nexus s 4g in the same thread. They both are the same just different radios like the G2 and Desire Z are. The only problem I can see from this is that on some Roms the wimax might not work like on the Og Evo..

there should be one forum for nexus devices, and a sub forum in each, like "Nexus One.... Nexus S...Nexus S (CDMA)"

Don't want to bring this back if there is no reason, but with the release coming next week I would love to see a new forum for the Nexus S 4G.
Agreed... need seprate forum.
You all might be right about being the same as ]ntil some poor sap flashes the wronge rom and kernel and bricks there phone.
Also... won't the kernel be diff because of the wimax and rom will have coding for wimax so they are not interchangable. Its not like its an app that you can just flash between all the nexus's. Just because thedy are built on same platform does not make them same.

I'm kind of thinking Google will restrain a ton of modifications to the kernel itself. We will have to see when the devices come out just how different they really are, but as of now, I vote on keeping them together to keep the developer base stronger.

what a horrible idea
Hi all
Just a quick question about the radio and flashing.
I understand that when a device is flashed to a custom ROM, that a radio is cooked in. (am I correct?)
Now my situation is this. I live in Australia, and am thinking of purchasing a 2nd hand Inspire 4G (AT&T) from the US, but from my research, due to the Inspire's (from AT&T) frequencies being 850/1900, this causes a small problem in Australia, where only telstra's NextG network operates on this band.
So in effect, I would be limited to NextG if I had this phone in Australia. the other major carrier here (optus) uses 900/2100.
Not a biggie right now as I use telstra nextg, but I may want to change.
So, question would be, when a phone is flashed, can I change the radio via the ROM, or is the frequencies a phone uses controlled by hardware?
thanks.
It's hardware mate.

thanks mate.
now to decide if its worth it.....can get one pretty cheap compared to here in Australia.
Check out tmobile I don't recall the bands they use but they sell the desire HD which is the Inspire 4G for them.
Edit: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-desire-hd/#specs
Looks like it is 900/2100
So now the question is, what provider will you stick to in Australia

Yeah its a tough decision ...I'm going to be moving soon to study, and where I'm going both carriers are good, but telstra is prob the dearest. Where I currently live needs telstra and I get a sim card through work (I use my own phone though)
So I basically need a 850 phone for 3 months then I can use whatever .......
I just bought one and I am on Telstra. I also have a desire hd. Inspire in my opinion is the best choice.
Inspire can still run on Optus. My missus uses it occasionally with no issues.

For future reference please ask questions in the Q and A section. Let's leave the Dev section for the devs and their roms.

Flashing radio and having a great signal does it mainly depend on the region your end? Ive flashed recommended radios on roms and still the signal and battery life was not really that great. So is there a radio that runs better in the southern states with great signal?

well you will hear it depends, each has their own experience, so try and find the one that works best for you.
But I too live in the southern states, and I have had great results with the latest radio, and after reading a lot of comments, a lot of people agree that the latest ota radio is prob all you will need.

I know that there is an FM chip inside the Xoom and I was thinking if it is possible to utilise it? I know there is an app called spirit FM and I would love to see the Xoom supported. Would a edit with a kernel work or is it not possible at all. I'm sure this feature would be very useful for people who travel etc.
The Xoom has a Broad com BCM4329 Chip. A teardown on ifixits website has this.. more info is available here http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329
Surely not too difficult, just the software?

Wow that's interesting, if it really does have a FM chip I wonder why it was kept so quiet? I didn't even realise.

That is more dependant on what radio you flash, not what ROM you use. And this varies from location to location.
Take a look at the radio thread in the development section.

Yup. Radio matters more than ROM. If you are having reception issues, try a different radio. And as the "best" radio is very location specific, trial and error is your best bet.
