Is there another software for FM radio? - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

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?

Are you sure.... I've read in a thread in XDA that the GPS depend on the ROM but not the WIFI
i'm curious too.. i thought radio ROM affects gps and bluetooth as well as phone
i'm not 100% but under the impression as there are plenty of pda's around which dont have phone but have gps, wifi and bluetooth

I think that Radio Rom affect GPS too because when I bought my P3600, GPS wasn't enable and I had to upgrade Radio version in order to active the GPS.

Radio is different to ROM.
Anyways, not sure if this would help, but I'm using Radio version 1.46.30.11, I really don't know if Radio has anything to do with GPS reception, but you can try upgrading it to that.
There's also a program out there that's meant to help GPS fix. It's called GPSTest that was posted a few days back. Might want to look that up.
Will post again if i can find it and test it.
And here it is, but not sure if it's a myth or reliable

Now im curious to now what the different Radions do with the phone??
never seen a change log / release note for any radiostack to any device
guess htc dont release them externaly
and a user based opinion vs. writing would
be so individual and biased it would be pointless

GPSTest doesn't help GPS fix. GPS fix is dependant on GPS hardware. The only benefit of GPSTest is that it is a small program, thus it loads faster therefore initialising GPS faster. That's all it does.
That being said. Radio Rom absolutely has an effect on GPS receiver. Do you remember when the Trinity first came out with GPS disabled? Was it not disabled because of conflicts with the 3G radio? So you'll have to find a radio version that works right for you. Personally, the 1.46xxx radios suck ass for me in Canada, so I'm trying out different ones to see which works best.

How do u use the radio?

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

FM radio?

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

GPS Radio

Hello i am in pakistan and i want to know which is the best gps radio i have htc tytn II and i have G Rom 10
Hi,
there's a great thread where all radios are listed. You can simply flash them one after each other and see what's working best for you . Here you go.
I don't think there is a GPS radio, the radio I think you are asking about is the radio for the cell networks. Which the above poster linked.

Okay, I know what a ROM is...but what is the Radio?

Erhhhhhh.....What is the radio?
Do you guys mean like the Radio receiver? Like as in the FM Radio?

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.
