Hey guys,
I'm currently working on replacing my car stereo with a tablet and have been looking for information on the Streaks AM/FM Radio.
I know that the Dell Streak 5 can have it's hidden radio enabled, does anyone know if the same goes with the Dell Streak 7? Thanks!
I dont believe tegra 2 supports fm radio by itself?
Snapdragons have FM radio support built in, just so happens on the S5 it's not turned on since they couldnt get it working without bugs.
Yes it can.

Oh sweet it does? I take it that it's the same method as the Dell Streak 5? Thanks for the reply by the way!
ds7 does not contain a FM radio (definitely not in the WiFi edition)...
thr is no app tht can enable a non-existent radio...

What's TuneIn Radio which came with my S7 WiFi only? I assume that's what the OP is refering to that was in the S5. I have no idea how they plan to use TuneIn Radio in a vehicle since it needs an internet connection to operate.

TuneIn requires a data connection to reach out to the internet to pick up local radio stations. AM/FM Receiver would do so OTA. I suppose I could just use my phone as a hotspot and have the tablet connect to it during startup and use TuneIn Radio instead of OTA since it seems like no tablets that I know of have AM/FM capabilities.
Tunein is an internet radio app, I dont believe it's even capable of supporting fm radio, though I've never really used the app.

It does AM, FM, fire, police, etc.
chk this out http://tunein.com/
it plays all ur local radio stations through internet, its doesnt use any AM/FM hardware
There is no fm radio in the streak. Any radio app that came with the streak streams radio over the net.
If using streak as radio will need a 4g streak and dataplan or wifi streak and tether to cell phone.
That's your options. No fm radio inside of streak 7.

In Post #6, I stated that one needs an internet connection. True, no built FM radio or any radio of any kind but with the TunIn Radio app, you can receive AM, FM, etc. radio stations.
Those arnt 'am/fm' stations then.
In this context those are internet radio stations, am/fm ones are ones you can directly pick up over the air without internet access.
That's like saying youtube is 'tv stations' since there's some full tv shows on it

Does it really matter as the end result is the same? So if your TV from Comcast, etc., you have to say that you have cable TV not just TV. Or what about satellite, you must say satellite TV? I have AT&T U-verse which is IPTV but I don't use that term as somebody would say, Huh?
So what do you call OTA TV broadcasts over cable, satellite, etc.?
Local channels,
that would be like saying you can install windows on the S7 because you can use RDP/teamviewer/VNC.
The way you get it is the important part, internet radio isnt the same as am/fm radio because of the stations. Esp for wifi ones since you cant go walking around using it as an am/fm radio without internet. If you had an actual tuner you could. I cant imagine every single local station also rebroadcasts over the internet.
If you're talking about what tv, what if there's a channel that you dont recieve on u-verse? Do you say you dont get it even though you get tv? You'd say you have u-verse and you dont recieve that channel on u-verse.
You've gone over the edge on this topic for some reason.

Is it possible to use the existing hardware within the TyTNII for receiving FM radio signals? Surely it'd be a case of utilising the same hardware used for WiFi (802.11x = 2.4GHz), but at a lower frequency (FM 88.0MHz-108.0MHz)..
I was disappointed that FM radio was not an included feature of the TyTNII, however I'm happy with just about everything else about it. The only comparable phone that I was considering is the Eten X500+ glofiish which does have FM radio.
If there is already an FM radio application, please hook me up.

Scott.
NOPE kaiser does not have fm transmitter ...
if it was simply the case of utilizing the same hardware.......then surely, every single ppc with wifi could be modded to receive fm radio signal. holy cow, you know what i realized, my laptop has wifi too! i'm sooo gonna mod it to receive fm radio
just because they use the same term "radio frequency" doesn't always mean that they're interchangeable. so let's review this... since TyTn II has WiFi radio chip is there any software to turn it into:
satellite dish receiver?
citizen band transceiver?
(hd)tv tuner?
microwave oven?
fm radio? ... maybe not
bluetooth - there's a dedicated component/module for this
GPS - there's a dedicated component/module for this
but who knows if there was a disabled chip that can potentially be activated (as long as the hardware is there and accessible), there might be possibilities
one word: SEARCH!
there is a LONG thread on this in one of the kaiser sections which has long been buried which has determined that the kaiser does not have the proper hardware to receive FM radio signals. the touch cruise can receive them IIRC but the kaiser cannot due to the lack of a needed chip.

Threads like this should be closed the second they are posted. Sorry if i sound like a know it all, but i am a amateur radio operator, hence I have alo't of experience in the radio field. Using a modulated 2.4ghz transciever in impossible to re-modulate it to the am/fm bands. it just wont work.
second. you have to have a on board antenna and a tuner that is resonant on those freq's and the kaiser/tilt does not.
Third. Dutty has been tinkering on a idea of getting it to work, and following what he is thinking it might work, however the reception most likely will be limited.
Fourth. If a radio is such a big deal then buy a am/fm portable radio, or buy a sony w580i,
Fifth. SEARCH, there are plenty of threads regarding this.

Sixth. Using wifi or data go to www.thestreamcenter.com/pda and listen to all the FM radio your heart desires
Wow! Thanks for that link.
...or get one of the many internet radio programs available (such as Resco Pocket Radio).
anyone know of a app that allows you get am radio stations??
Sorry, no.

Could you not use something like TuneIn Radio? I use it for listening to Radio 5 amongst others. I know that it isn't AM but maybe what you are looking for is on there in some form...Just a thought.
i have tune in which is fine for 5 live but my local radio station brodcast sport on the AM frequencey not their fm one they split the service so i need AM
FM Radio development is missing! that's a killer feature, i use it every day in wm
second that!
For me, personally ... after I got new toy, my Xperia will be just an FM radio .. an expensive FM radio ..;-)
I do not need Camera or GPS because my Xperia will be staying put on the table to listen to radio and receiving messages from Skype messenger (always connected to WIFI).
But I think someone can get other HTC FM radio Android application and use it in Xperia .. please someone get that for Xperia, thanks.

yea, in italy free wifi wasn't legal until 2011, wifi and 3g coverage is really poor, 3g dataplan are very expensive and not for rechargeable SIM (in italy we don't use subscriptions)
FM radio, is free, and works everywhere!
I think that FM APIs are still unavailable to 3rd party developers.
I dont know how is this dont for xperia but this is the way on htc desire... :
Click / tap on the arrow to the left of the phone on the main screen and you will get a list of applications.
You have the FM Radio icon in row 4. Tap on it and listen to radio. Do not forget first to plug some headphones (any they do not have to be original) .
Maybe there's another phone that uses the same FM chip and for which there's working FM radio app?
I agree - FM radio support is essential. Without it users who would like to listen to the FM radio still will be forced to switch to WinMo.
Not everyone has Wi-Fi access to use TuneIn Radio and not every FM station has streaming broadcasts.
Motorola CLIQ XT is Android smartphone which has FM radio and uses MSM7201. Maybe someone could port it's FM radio app to X1?
i tryed to port libs and FM Radio apk, but it doesn't work , i tryed many other apsk, but still no luck
Just keep trying, please. There must be a way to make the radio work.

FM Radio driver is not implemented on the kernel, i hope alex (sp3dev) will work on it
I know there are apps like tune in and iheartradio but is there any FM Radio apps that wouldn't require a 3/4G signal? I have my tablet mounted in my truck and dont always pair my phone and tablet for the radio and would like to have the option of using a radio through my tablet

Well I think for an actual FM Radio app to work you would need an FM Tuner built into the device which these tabs that I am aware of do not have.

Hi I have a old car that does not have bluetooth, is it possible to use the build in radio as a broadcast and use my car radio to receive songs? I know there is some adaptor that let you do that but since the phone has a built in radio I wonder if this is possible with some apps.

There is an app called Spirit Transmit. I've been using it on Xperia SP and Xperia Z1 and it works like a charm. I think your phone needs to be rooted for it to work.
Go to this link to get the app. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296&page=845#post55456171)
any one that I can just buy from the play store without root?
