[Q] Record From FM Radio on Samsung Galaxy? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All, Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to record from the FM radio on the Samsung Galaxy. I have one and I would like to use it to record from conventions I go to where they broadcast the audio on short range FM.
I had a look in the app market and there are apps for recording from internet radio but I can't seem to see anything that will record from the radio on the device itself.
I had a look at the stock app and that doesn't seem to have the option... Any Ideas?

Can anyone tell me how to record FM radio when I play the FM radio?
Any app?
Any hacking guide?
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000, running Android 2.2.1, Darky's ROM 9.3 with speedmod 500hz and rooting.
Someone suggested to use tapemachine, but it not working.. After starting FM radio, then 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.

Click to collapse
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.

[Q] Shazam mutes FM-Radio as soon as I start tagging

Hi everyone!
I'm new to my Galaxy S and to this forum as well, I really hope you can help me. Galaxy S is my first smartphone, and I'm truly amazed, it's almost like a PC-Replacement device.
I have a tiny bit of a problem though:
I listen a lot of FM-Radio while I'm on the go, and sometimes I would like to know (and save) a song's artist and title. Therefore I looked around, and found Shazam (and SoundHound) on the Market for music recognition. Unfortunately, they both fail to work together with the FM-Radio. As soon as I start tagging/recognizing the music playing on the radio, it mutes, and the programs only record the noises around me
I tried it on my friend's LG Optimus (1.6, Vodafone, default), we had no troubles at all, Shazam nicely recognized all the songs from the radio.
I think the source of the problem is, that the Galaxy S' radio is very basic, and has no recording function, but I'm not sure about that, please reinforce or deny me. If there is any way to make it work, I'm all ears
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem with Samsung Galaxy 5. With 2.1 it worked fine, but after updateing to 2.2 it mutes while tagging, like you described. Also I noticed on 2.1, when radio was playing and when I started a music player, then the radio would stop playing, which was great, on 2.2 the radio won't stop and I have two different sources playing, annoying. It's definitely a software problem and unfortunatly thera are no other FM-Radio apps to try it out.
On HTC Wildfire 2.1 it also doesn't work.

[Q] Bluetooth volume too low

Hi guys
I bought a bluetooth FM transmitter to hear music in my car. Basically I connect the i9000 via bluetooth and FM transmitter connects to the car radio through a radio frequency.
The problem is that the sound coming out of i9000 is very low.
I've tried to change values ​​in service mode (*#*#197328640#*#*) but without success.
I tried also the "voodoo control plus" and got no improvement.
Any suggestions?
My version of Android is the stock rom 2.3.6
You could try using some form of management on the audio output...

If he was on Froyo or Gingerbread I suppose he didn't asked for something similar to SpiritFM because he would simply use the stoc FM Radio. I believe he is on some ICS custom/ported ROM.
Unfortunately I don't know of any other alternative than SpiritFM for our phone.

Its not possible without a internet streaming connection, seen as Android doesn't give out the API's for the FM Radio and RDS.
How did SpiritFM destroy you're speaker may i ask?

actually im using ICS 4.0.3, Custome ROM which is not supported Stock FM radio apps.
This Spirit FM did kill my speaker, i dont know how it kill, but it just killed same like other people as well T_T
SpiritFM can kill an i9000 speaker, but not always. I'm using it on an SGS with zero problems. Also, today the developer pushed out a new update on Play that should hopefully fix it.
One thing I did to *try* to minimize chances of blowing my speaker/headphones on first launch of Spirit was to manually toggle Voodoo Sound to -36 dB. This may not have done anything, or kicked in a little slow -- I think it was louder for a split second and then volume dropped off quickly. But from what I gather, if it doesn't blow your speaker right away, then your i9000 is one of the safe ones.

[Q] FM radio

Hi!
Do any of the developers working on the FM radio support for ISC on I9000?
Everything I have found references to Spirit FM, but it's no FM tuner
Semaphore has a fm radio (si4709) module.
I haven't tried it.
Try SPIRIT FM software.
Sometimes it makes your phone mute (you receive a call but you can't listen what people's saying)
Anyway, its the best option right now.
Yes! It works
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Yes, it works fine, give it a try.....

Viper4Android MTCD FM Radio

Hi all,
I've got a quick question on which I could not find a proper answer. I'm running a MTCD unit and installed Viper4Android on it this works fine on Bluetooth the Music player and so on but the radio will remain default and have not audio processing is there a fix for this?
I'd like to use Viper4Android on the FM radio as well?
Thanks
This has baffled me as well but I think its because the radio signal isnt coming from the radio itself, its a external source. Thats my theory anyway & prolly completely wrong lol
Same problem here this would be great!
Found on another thread that the radio chip is not talking to the Android OS but rather directly to the sound chip hence V4A does not process the sound but after all I listen to USB or Spotify 99% of the times
