[Q] FM Radio Frequency - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is it possible to set the frequency to different range ?
Say in Japan it is 76-90 but in Singapore it is 88 to 108.
Can show me how ? I don't mind to change the config. files. (My X8 is rooted)
Thanks in advance.

Interesting question but I think that's not possible even for hardware reason.
You know, in each country some frequencies are reserved for specific purposes (military use, police, ecc ecc) so it would be a very big problem if a normal radio could capt those frequencies!

I agree with you on the specific purpose military frequency.
I have a wireless headphone which use 86 as the transmission freq. which normal FM radio and X8 can't be tune to that.
I can only use the receiver headphone that come with it.
I want to receive the same channel from another radio/handphone so that my wife can hear it also. (sharing)
I saw some international radio sets can tune to a wider range.

Is it possible to get AM radio signal for the diamond?

As the title said, anyone have any idea? Thanks
Since it doesn't have an AM tuner ( very few DAP do), you won't be able to get AM. It's a shame really that AM really doesn't get put into anything. Generally the excuse is the antennae needs to be very large to receive that band of frequencies and the interference it will cause.

ANT-208, HD-RX8, replace tuner, etc. Is there a solution to improve radio signal ?

Hi there,
I know there is already some posts relating issues like that, but most of them are dead and without a clear answer.
I actually own a Joying JY-UQ130 (RK3188 headunit). This HU is installed on a Honda Civic 9G (European model). This car have an amplified antenna which worked very well with OEM radio.
Since I installed my HU, radio signal / reception is not really good.
It was really good before, using my OEM radio, so it's clearly related to my HU tuner.
I tried ANT-208 amplifier but this product is pure **** (signal is worst than before using this) :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/ANT-208-Car-I.../111840168048?
I hearded that there is another product named HD-RX8 but price is 20$ :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/HD-RX8-RADIO...813526?hash=item1c6901dad6:g:SuQAAOSwEetV-nNC
This product seems to be more efficient than ANT-208, but I don't want to spend 30-35$ (cause I live in France and shipping is about 15$) if it doesn't work.
Does someone have installed HD-RX8 ? What's your feedback ? Better choice than this "garbage part" called ANT-208 ?
Is there another real solution to improve radio signal ? Like changing tuner, adding an hidden antenna ?
Thanks for your help !
Anyone tried this HD-RX8 part ? I will probably give a try if no feedback comes !

Has Anyone Expanded the FM Radio?

Hi All,
I just bought an e5 Play (XT1921-2) from Target. Am surprised and pleased to see there's an actual FM radio to play with. However, I see no apps to run it other than the stock Motorola app. It would be fun to expand the frequency range outside of the wide channel FM broadcast band into narrow channel communications bands. If it could get to approximately 162 MHz you could pick up the NOAA weather stations, which might even be useful.
Does anyone know anything of this? Might the hardware support that? Has anyone seen anything like that?
Thanks,
Dan

FM radio not working

Hey guys. So I have the Australian LGV40 lmv405ebw model. Doesn't come with the FM radio pre installed so I installed the stock FM radio and next radio but it's not working whatsoever. Gsm arena said it's FM compatible but it's not working. Is there any way to enable the hardware so I can utilise it cause this was one of the reasons I purchased it?
Disappointing cause I do travel occasionally to remote areas with no coverage and it's so handy.

Typically, headphones must be plugged in so that the natural antenna action of the headphone wire can be used for reception

Tried that, to no avail. I'm aware of that. Used next radio and stock FM radio which I downloaded manually.

Atleast the European V405EBW has the FM module disabled (for whatever reason), so i guess its the same for the australian :/
Some US models have it enabled though. You can typically check from your bootloader kernel commandline ( /proc/cmdline , needs root to read) if its supported in HW or not.

Yeah I think it's exactly the same as the European models. I've heard the US models have it enabled. Is there a possibility to enable it myself?

Its disabled in hardware... except you find out where to solder what exactly, i dont think theres a possibility (bootloader reports that fm isnt supported on the v405ebw, theres a kernel commandline appended for that)
I tried to use it in Lineage, didnt work (had FM stuff added in LOS16, then fm stuff broke in 17, didnt readd it yet), but worked on the US models
So i guess you would need todo some serious soldering or change the motherboard ?

No Region under language and region settings

hi... issue as the titles said... im on global c28... ever since i dont have region... but i remember correctly that when i first open the phone... it ask me the region and it said i can change it later... but cannot find it under language and region settings... only language and updates... thanks...
hi you should have this normally. but hey the problem that you have me I have it on the game center application or options I miss! is that how it really pisses me off in the long run because update happening but it looks like all because my problems are never resolved like the Double Wifi that I still don't have !!!

What is the problem with double wifi, it should be automatically activated, isn't that correct? I thought that it always uses both 2.4 and 5GHz bands when you connect to the supported network.

I would have liked you to tell the truth, but not for impossible I have none of these parameters! and I am not the only one a topic already exists on this subject. with some it works and others don't!however we do have the same phone with the European version. I do not know is no response Realme on this subject is it frankly began to annoy me. just like the famous "4D"Vibration which must be activated in the Games is quite the same impossible is that it does not matter the games! I really regret this purchase for having been misled on the goods
Try to factory reset the phone. If this doesn't work, reinstall the OTA through ozip method.

I can't say about the 4d vibration because I never tried it, though it should be game dependent, and there's probably only a few games supported. However for the dual wifi there shouldn't be any parameters or options I think. When there's a dual band network you just connect to it normally and the phone should use both bands automatically.
I don't think 4d vibration is a dealer braker or a deal maker, just a gimmick anyway. Phone is great for me

Dual wifi doesn't refer to the use of 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands simultaneously, but to use two networks simultaneously to increase the speed. It can be enabled from wifi settings. (However I think is useless, because most people have only one wifi network. I think the dual use of wifi plus mobile data is useful, like what Samsung did some years ago, IDK if latest phones still have this feature)
whoa? why it became wifi issue with post? anyone have the same issue as mine? region?

Ah yes I just looked into it some more, it turns out both of us are correct. It means either connecting to both bands or two different networks.

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Have you tried searching for "region" keyword in settings? The first result is the option for changing the region for me.
its okay... even typing region in settings no result...
