I got a Wing and I've read that u can listen to the radio on it? How? I've even flashed a radio update but have no idea on how to turn the radio on or use it.
There is no radio built into the wing.
You can listen to online radio stations, but unfortunately, you have been mislead as far as the regular radios.
maybe you're confusing am/fm radio with the radio in mobile software?
what radio on mobile software?
also, what is this GSM-03.07.90? I flashed my Wing with this, thought it was for radio use.
the "radio" in a radio rom refers to the GSM radio that the device uses to communicate on GSM networks. There is no radio in the Herald/Wing that you can actually listen to.
Unless, of course, you count listening to people talk in the phone as listening to the GSM radio.
thestreamcenter.com/pda is as close to radio as your gonna get. Its pretty cool though

hi... im new pda user here, my autry just give me 1 used qtek 9100(im poor,no money buy pda phone), and i know it same with wizard cox the design is totally same.
the phone is using 2.17 rom(my autry used it for 1 and half years)and i think is quite outdated. beside that, the phone come with no radio function.
i plan to flash to the lastest rom myself, and im supprise that the lastest rom include radio function, i would like to ask is that my phone can support it, and if i success upgrade it, then my phone will have radio function, rite?? it no need require external hardware for radio function??
beside that, i found that some forumer mention their wizard is G3, or G4, wat the different for it?? and my phone belong to which G??
no 1 can help me??
The 'radio' that is mentioned in relation to new roms has nothing to do with AM/FM radio functionality. The radio rom is the one that handles the communication with the GSM/CDMA network. It will not allow you to listen to broadcasts from radio stations; the Wizard don't have that functionality.
As for the G3/G4, this has been mentioned many times already, e.g. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281241
The FM radio on my device suck badly. I can't get any radio channel when i'm in the house. And when I'm outside, I can barely get 1-2 channels. I don't know if the FM radio antenna in the Fuze sucks or it is because i'm using an American device in Canada. Before giving up on FM radio, I want to try it with another software. Is there any other FM radio software out there?
Also, I've tried and did not success to install XM radio software. Can anyone upload another CAB of XM radio to another site than rapidshare?
Thanks all, I'm a big fan of Radio.
I'm using radio 1.02.25.32, with Fido, Canada. It's too early for the Fuze community to determine which radio is the best... I'm planning on trying another radio... then again, I read that this is the best radio for GPS signal. Is there a good radio for Montreal user, to have both good signal for GPS and FM radio?
I posted an alternate FM Radio app in my thread titled MSM72xx chipset level configuration tools in this forum.. try that?
I am going to USA in Feb2009 will the fm radio in my orange UK diamond pick up anything?
TIA
Bixx
Nope, sorry, we don't have FM radio stations here in the US.
But if you tilt the phone a certain way, you might still be able to pick up BBC.
JUST KIDDING ... yes, of course you'll be able to pick up the radio here!
Did you know that US stations end in .<odd number> (97.1 FM) while in Europe they end in .<even number> (98.8 FM)? If the radio does not tune in the odd or even numbers then you'll have a problem. That said, I don't think you'll have a problem...
thanx for the replies
hahahaha we have even ending channels thats funny stuff. IN america that is you will be ok

No, the radio rom flashes the part which is responsible for the broadcasting part of the phone, i.e. GSM / GPRS / HSDPA etcetera.
This is very important for reception strength and sound quality during calls. The best radio rom can be different for everyone, depending on geographical location, ROM version and provider.
The FM radio is just an application to receive FM radio; you can have multiple applications on the phone, but you can use only one radio rom.

Radio rom is file that contain the configuration for radio Transceiver...
For gps, wi-fi, gsm, and so....
There is also a radio thread where you can start studying a little before you flash one
use the wiki luke..........

Hi,
please excuse my stupid question - I'm a newbie and English is not my first language:
What exactly does the term "radio" refer to? I only know it as in "listening to a radio station". Is that it or does the term actually refer to the cell phone signals?
I guess the answer to the first question also helps with the remaining questions I have:
There are tons of threads about flashing of the radio (like: "[Resources] Rhodium GSM Radio Collection"), but what do they actually do?
Which radio version should I get (I'm from Germany using O2)? The above mentioned thread says I need to look up the region in the wiki, but the wiki leads back to that exact same thread.
Thanks in advance, Google just gave me a bunch of sites about streaming radio to my phone, but somehow I don't think that is the whole story.
Edit: I did some more research and then I googled for GSM, I got on to the right track. So this is definitely not about listening to my favorite station on better quality.
However, I still wonder why to upgrade and if so, which version...
The cell phone "radio" refers to both the hardware and the software used to send/receive signals over the cell network. GPS also uses the same radio. When talking about flashing the radio, the software component of this is being referred to. Flashing a different radio can (possibly) improve cell reception, as well as battery life (phone constantly trying to connect will drain the battery, flashing a new radio can help alleviate this).
What radio is "best" if often geographically dependent. Also, the newer radios tend to work better than older ones, but that's not always the case. Perhaps somebody in Germany can provide guidance on this radio works the best in your area.

I see, thank you!
So since I do want to make the best use of the GPS (hopefully with TomTom), this seems to be a rather important issue then.
