Transmitter or receiver?
Transmitter, with which you can play music from your phone on your car stereo for example...

That's a dual... Amazing, I didn't think they would ever have anything like that. You bought it from Best Buy didn't you?
cool radio were did you buy it !!!
This is not a ROM development matter.

Cool. Too bad Dual is like the worst brand on the market... *shrug*

You'll care when you have only had it for a month, and the motorized thing in the front stops working.

Since htc released the kernel source code for the legend why can't we just use that to figure out how the fm radio works?
Maybe because it's a completely different hardware?

As others have said before, the Desire is closer in hardware to the Nexus.
Why bother. You only get "local" stations with all of the audio avertisements. On an N1? What content are you missing out on?
i listen to npr, not pop buzz radio. i don't get commercials
and for people in the UK, radio is still quite popular
The FM radio on my TP2 worked perfectly inside my office building, but internet is so slow in here that internet radio is extremely hard to listen to it.

NPR? You're kidding, right?
Listening to them makes me want to nuke a gay whale for Jesus. And I am all for happy, healthy, prosperous whales, gays and Jesus freaks.
I personally would like to see if someone can port the ability to use it as an FM transceiver. It would be convenient to transmit my audio to an FM station as an alternative to Bluetooth audio since not all car radios support Bluetooth audio.

The OP was suggesting the use of the FM RECEIVER that is know to exist on the board. The Nexus One does not have a FM TRANSMITTER.

Really now? Seems you need to do some more reading.
Here's the first reveal:
1) engadget.com/2010/01/06/nexus-one-teardown-reveals-possible-802-11n-radio-and-fm-transmi/
Here's the chip itself so you can read the numbers off the back of it:
2) i39.tinypic.com/nywxl0.jpg
3) And then here's the datasheet on the chip:
pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf
Straight from Broadcom's product brief on the BCM4329:
SINGLE-CHIP 802.11n/BLUETOOTH®/FM (Rx AND Tx)
The Broadcom® BCM4329 family of single chip devices provide the optimum integration of IEEE 802.11™ a/b/g and 802.11n (MAC/ baseband/radio) handheld device classes, Bluetooth® 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), and FM Radio receiver and transmitter features in mobile and handheld Wireless systems.

4) Here's an excerpt from the bottom with the crucial info:
i39.tinypic.com/30t5qjd.jpg
As for the OP's question. Time will tell.
Thanks for pointing that out. Wish I knew code well enough to implement that. I would be willing to donate money to someone who can.

The original galaxy s has the ability to transmit and receive fm radio. I also know that the vibrant has the exact and chip but lacks the drivers. If we can get the ffc to work by actually adding new hardware then we should definitely be able to get hardware that's already on the phone working. The question is, of, there a dev that's, willing to do this?

What benefit would this have over tune in radio app?
Isn't there already a thread about this?

Indeed.
A bit hard to find, due to "fm" being too short. But it is right there on the 3rd page of search results for "fm radio."

I assume you are being facetious?
Lets say you are not:
There are areas with poor data coverage.
FM Radio uses lets battery than streaming.
Not all stations streams.
Streams often fall off for no reason even on a computer with a high speed connection.
Gyms broadcast tv sound via radio.
TuneIN radio is buggy as hell.
I could go on, but since you couldn't possibly be serious in your question and also non-retarded enough to understand an answer, I won't.

Should look through the original thread and ask a MOD to close this one since its a dupe of the original...
I would actually be more interested in transmit then receive, but both working would be awesome.
CM6.1 has an FM tuner app included too. So I can hope for CM and FM transmit/receive
I'll throw down some dolla bills for this.

The ability to have live fm not some crappy internet app that kills battery. Plus
please use the search bar before posting. there was a thread started months ago about this....

Truth is the app is anything but crappy and I would speculate you haven't tried it. How were you able to determine this solution drains more battery? Thanks in advance.

I am perfectly serious but in a way that would not be considered aggressive, rude or of assuming nature here is my experience and general thoughts.
I have had 0 issues at all with Tune In. I have not found a single radio station in my area I couldn't grab a stream including the AM channels for the sports people. In my city data coverage is a non issue. I have had perfectly good experience with this and threw it out there to help as this topic has already been covered although in length for those that haven't searched. I am still curious about the battery comparison though. Where did you get that information? I have had great battery life experience but haven't jacked with any radio devices on any of my cellphones. As far as gym's broadcasting TV stations via radio that is a huge advantage. I hate the treadmill and bang my cardio outside which is why I like tune in for the AM in case there is a game on. I would never listen to anything TV related in the weight room as I am always there early am or later in the evening and not really a tv person anyway expect for sports anyway. Just my .02 cents.
I hope this alternative will help some people.

Well, yes, its true that you can get a lot of stations streamed via internet, but the thing that most of us really want, that absolutely needs fm radi working, is the FM radio transmitter. What that will let you do is play a song from your phone and transmit it through and FM radio band you choose. That way, if you dont feel like listening to music on your crappy phone speakers while driving, you can listen to them on your cars nice speakers.

If you have an aux in on your radio, you could connect your phone to that. I'm using a blackberry audio gateway with my car and it works great. Some newer car radios have bluetooth built in. FM is super crowded here and transmitters just don't work well.
Would like it for the rare times I use it.
I am sorry for this total noob question, but I understand that the nook runs on the OMAP 3621 processor and that processor supports bluetooth. My question is, did B&N include whatever hardware support is required to add Bluetooth in a future update, or will this product never have bluetooth support?
Thanks!
Jeff
Geez. . . I hate when i waste bandwidth. . . looks like some guys are looking into this in the Development thread on this forum. Should have looke around more thoroughly before posting. Sorry about that.
You folks are awesome. If this pad could gain bluetooth, it would be amazing in it's pricepoint!
BT Confirmed working on CM7
The development thread has bt working. I myself have confirmed it working, paired and successful vs Logitech DiNovo Mini and RocketFish Keyboard.

Bluetooth Working
I got it working, but barely...cant seem to stream music (which is the real reason I wanted it) to my stereo headset. I have the plantronics BB 903+
Bluetooth Working
I also notice that it drops the headset connection when i try to stream. I've tried music stored locally and from the cloud...same results, nada. N e body else get this going?
Nevermind.....
No more native fm radio in Xperia xz1 Compact.
"The Qualcomm 835 SoC Plattform is supporting FM Radio" Is a great news but the worst news is that there is no radio FM native app, only in streaming.
Sony should give it a chance to use FM radio.

I tried installing another Xperia FM app, it refuses to install. Perhaps will be possible by modifying the app.

Has anyone tried other options (such as Spirit1 FM radio...yes I know it's not free) from the market?
Also adhere to this conclusion! I have ideas in FM radio to implant it into the system and leave the Radio.apk, but unfortunately first you need to Root to turn themselves to the system files. How will Root, will have to try to do it on my XZ1, I think XZ1 XZ1 Compact and do not differ in this respect. I apologize for the English language.
I have been a fan of Sony compacts since the Z1c. In all the years I've owned one I've never used the radio. Perhaps Sony have run the numbers on how much the app gets used?
Personally I wouldn't spend £500 on a device carrying one of the best soundcards on the market to listen to hissy, lossy fm noise.
Before the end of life for my XZ1c, UK fm analogue radio will be gone, is that a big enough hint for you?
Except when you're sitting at the Bahrain GP, and realise that you can't listen to the race commentary because this stupid phone doesn't do FM... [emoji53]
