FM radio from Desire.

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the FM radio software from the Desire to work on a Nexus One? I think it should be fairly easy. If no-one has done it, I might try - is there a convenient place to download the unzipped contents of a desire rom?
Once it is working I intend to try to get FM transmit to work.

PS: Yes I did search the forum. You can't search for 'FM'; it is too short.
PPS: This all assumes the FM antenna pin from the broadcom chip is connected to the headphone socket. I can't see why they wouldn't do that though.

A lot of people have tried but i dont think they have tried very hard lol. ive been looking into it but i dont have much time nor the expertise to mess with kernels lol.
The devs at google io said fm support will not come officially for the nexus but they said the communities best bet would be to grab the drivers from the incredible's kernel. the kernels for all htc android phones are all open source and are available here:
http://developer.htc.com/
Note: they also said its not guaranteed it will work lol

will donate to you if u can get fm working good luck!

get in touch with paul obrien from modaco.com, he should be able to get you desire rom dump, or antyhing you need.

I will donate big time aswell.

Me too -- will donate

Have fun writing a driver for it.
Also, I'm pretty sure the current N1 OEM 2.1 kernel doesn't even have the possibility of supporting it, driver or not.
Edit: It may be the radio that doesn't support it. Or maybe both the kernel and the radio.
Either way... good luck.

The driver works?
It searches for FM channels and finds them, also plays it.
The sound just never makes it futher

*SOLVED* [Q] FM radio?

The official HTC specs page doesn't list FM radio, but then it doesn't list it as a feature for other phones which have FM radio and the HTC FM radio app either.
Does anyone have a screenshot of the HTC system apps for the HTC One showing an FM radio app?
I know all about internet radio... just interested here if FM radio is built in or not, thanks.

All HTC android Phones have FM Radios
Sony and HTC tend to make FM Radio a regular app on all their phone while samsung on the other hand tend to make it only available on their flagship phones.

can anyone ask HTC directly about FM or any official information to confirm 'FM Radio'?

Yes it does have a fm radio, I have played with one and secondly I posted a video at the top of this page that shows the HTC One does have Fm radio

Just watch any video shoeing the htc one. I saw something called FM radio.
Sometimes I look before I ask

Almost all. There's a few that don't (in hardware), like these:
- HTC Droid DNA.
- HTC Desire CDMA / BravoC
- HTC Rezound ADR6425LVW Verizon (Vigor)
- HTC Rhyme ADR6330VW Verizon "blissc" shows negative to 0 RSSI.
- HTC Magic (Sapphire), T-Mobile myTouch 3G, NTT docomo HT-03A
- HTC Dream, T-Mobile G1, Era G1.
Then there are some US carrier variants that don't officially support it but that apps can enable, such as the AT&T OneX(L) LTE.
Sprint supposedly has a deal with the US FM broadcasters to get $10 grand ransom per year out of each of them. See my post here for some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36567961&postcount=5154
Other carriers might also enable if they get paid off, or may keep disabled as long as negotiations aren't fruitful.

Is it avaliable only in europe or usa too? Like alot of times there is FM radio on the European models but the usa models get it disabled by hardware...

The app us there for international versions. But disabled for the us versions most likely. Hardware should be the same so a custom ROM will probably get it to work

When you say played with one, have you checked the actual usability through headphones? Decent reception, for instance.

EDIT: Wait a minute. Nobody has this phone yet, right ? When somebody gets one, please send me a debug log. Or if you see the chips identified in an article somewhere, please post. A ROM dump would also help answer some questions.
If somebody with a (preferably rooted) HTC One would send me a debug log from my FM app, I could tell you more about the FM chip, and the prospects for enabling FM on stock ROMs with no FM app or custom ROMs.
Free version of my app is here: http://d-h.st/9Ck . Use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds.
My hope is that the One uses the standard Qualcomm reference design with a WCD93xx audio chip and WCN36xx FM/Bt/WiFi/etc combination chip. This is a very nice, pretty much fully digital combination with a lot of power and capabilities, that will likely take some time to fully appreciate and enable. IE, it's IMO the architecture of "tomorrow"/2013-2014. It will be very interesting to see if the Galaxy S4 uses this architecture, for the US, rest of the world, or world-wide.
And ideally, stock ROMs with no FM app will contain the Qualcomm FM framework files needed to enable FM without root.

I had a quick look at the Android_Revolution_HD-One_2.0 ROM and see FM_Radio.apk and the widget and support files etc.
I tried running the APK on my OneX LTE with the latest AT&T JB and it crashed due to some missing widget code.
I'm not entirely positive, but it appears the audio is Qualcomm WCD93xx and the Bluetooth is Broadcom BCM4335.
I'm guessing the Broadcom chip is the source of the FM, and not a Qualcomm WCN36xx BT/WiFi/FM chip.

Yes, the ATT version has the FM radio. In fact, the only reason I got this phone was so I would never be without in
Severe storms. I then installed a custom rom just in case art force pushed an update an brick my device. Only problem
I've run into is some market apps are incompatible with my device now. I'd file a bug report with Viperxl
But I'm not allowed. Just hope the update fixes it.

I think that's usually due to ro.product.device in /system/build.prop .

So I can fix it by editing that file?

HTC One M8 can do FM radio
I am using the HTC One M8 by Verizon. FM Radio was not installed.
On another site I discovered that other carriers use the NextRadio app. At first, the NextRadio app wouldn't Install because it is not allowed on my Verizon phone.
So, I found the APK on internet.
From the website I downloaded the file to my Verizon HTC M8. Using a file manager, I located the file on phone, tapped it, and it installed with no problem
I am listening to the FM radio as I type this.
Attached copy of the file.

my htc one model HTC6500L phone has fm app and it scans for signal but not working(no signal) what is the solution

So bluetooth code is broken?

So from reading just about all the threads in the dev sections, it seems that Bluetooth is something that is inherently broken frome htc? This would explain alot of things...including why my awesome Bluetooth nyko controller doesn't work. lol. Anyone have any input on this matter? And i guess another thing i was curious about is the leaked 4.2 RUU that was posted in the dev section, does anyone know if the Bluetooth is fixed in that by chance? I know that the jump from 4.1.2 to 4.2 was a large improvement of Bluetooth for my nexus.

Bluetooth works just fine for me. Granted all I use it for is the headunit in my car.

Thats really weird. I always have problems trying to pair any bluetooth controller to the One. They all say they pair but never work in any apps :\

Bluetooth source is botched from HTC just for the Sprint variant. So on stock kernel you'll be fine but until fixed (which I'm working on) all custom kernels you won't be able to use bluetooth for calls. Streaming works fine.

Bluetooth pairing worked fine for me with my car, and I was able to import all my contacts to the car. Haven't actually used it for an in-phone call yet, but so far no issues. I also haven't rooted or run modded kernel/ROMs.

Bluetooth is only broken on custom kernels. I use viper rom and use Bluetooth all the time in the car for streaming and calls as well as at home with my desk headset from Plantronics.

This was my experience as well with my nexus s 4G on Sprint. I've had serious low volume issues with my HTC One when trying to connect with the factory bluetooth in my car (2004 330ci). I started a thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266974 ) but have yet to receive any replies. Good luck!

Thanks for working on this! I love this phone aside from this, which is a serious inconvenience. When you say you're working on this, is it a custom rom or custom kernel that you're working on, or just the bluetooth problem specifically? My phone is currently stock, but I'll happily root it if you release a solution for this. Thanks again!

Bluetooth is so slowly for my cell phone.

RESOLVED: Bluetooth Issue with pioneer Head unit

Here is my fix in case anyone runs into this issue:
On the pioneer website it says there Is no need to do a firmware update on may of their products unless you have an iphone 5 or ios6. I looked into what the update does and basically it brings the AVCRP standards of the head units up to 1.4. (the Galaxy Note 4 Variants use the latest AVCRP 1.5, which is not currently used by many devices.) I have never bothered with the update because i am a die hard android user. I decided to flash the update to my head unit and low and behold i have full controls again.
The only drawback is that to update your firmware is you need a Bluetooth compatible PC to flash. The flashing instructions on the pioneer website need some updating as there were some steps that weren't possible on a windows 8 PC. If you get stuck while flashing firmware to your deck, let me know and i will help guide you through it.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR HEAD UNIT..... Just like flashing a phone there is some risk in flashing firmware to any device if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, either dont do it or send it in to pioneer and have them do it.
OP: I Just got my Note 4 as an upgrade to my Note 2 (i was dn3v5 4.4.2 KK on it) . I Just have one issue. When i connect Vial Bluetooth to my Pioneer head unit in my car it plays and sounds great and does everything my note 2 did. However when i play music I can not use the buttons on the deck to "Skip" forward or backwards to the next song in any music player. I can pause and play but no skip. I have tried it with the stock ROM as well as infamous 2.3 and rapture v2.1.
I have searched the forums as well as hours of Google searching and all i get back is sound quality issues or cars not connecting at all. I just cant understand why it would respond to some buttons but not all.
Is anyone else having this issue?
edit:the head unit i am running is a 2013 pioneer DEH-PRS80 it is BT 3.0 compliant.

This is Bluetooth 4.0. Contact pioneer and see if they offer a work around or an update.

OK so in less then a few minutes I found your answer. No. That radio was made in 2012 and is not compatible with Bluetooth 4.0.

Thank you for the reply. I have been searching for the last couple of days and i didn't see anything pointing to my exact issue. I will give them a call. Also everything i have read said 4.0 is backwards compatible that's why i am confused as to why all of the buttons wont respond.

It is on pioneer website. Last firmware update was Jan of 2013 and only for Bluetooth 3.0. They don't update cause they want you to buy new radio. You can call them but I think you are Sol. Sorry man

I I understand that. I will give them a call. None of their other decks have specs like this one, Not going to give it up as i built my whole system around its networking functions. I guess i will have to see what they say.

I have a note 4 and initially the skip feature worked flawlessly. It recently stopped working for no reason. Did you figure out how to fix it?

FM Radio in the P30 Pro?

Folks, does the P30 Pro have a built in FM radio? My Lite version for my wife has it (NextRadio says it does but locks up endlessly) and I'd like the Pro version when my Mate 9 expires and have a radio as well.
Can't find a P30 Lite forum here by the way. Maybe it's too generic or underpowered.

P30 pro doesn t have fm radio build in and that sucks. That's why I always have an old LG device with me, just for the fm radio.

Oh well, I will stick with my wife's phone then

The NextRadio app (reccomended by so many people) definately said it found one in my wife's lite version but can't get that app to work with it.
That's why I was hoping the Pro would have an official one.
Oh well.
Tried to install her old Ascend Mate 7's radio app on her new phone but it would'nt install. Damn!

This application for Android 2.3 - 4.4 only (not sure for Android 5).
Please do not install if your device have Android 6, 7, 8 or 9.

I did try it even though the developer said not to. "This application is not supported by your device"

Looks like her model doesn't even have an NFC chip.
No NFC in some models? Who does that in this day and age. I feel well and truly screwed. Can't even exchange for one that does, none of the shops near me even understand the problem.

FM Radios are dead because digital took over, not many phones with FM radios still working in them, my S9 didn't nor did my S7, and not even sure my S5 did
NFC should be there though

No nfc in MAR-LX2

I wish it were. I could not see the model number on the box when I bought it and didn't know some models of the Lite had NFC and some didn't until I downloaded the manual. The shop certainly didn't!
The MAR-LX1A and MAR-LX1M have NFC but MAR-LX2 (Which is my wife's) does not. Thats' what the manual states and I certainly cannot find any NFC function on this phone as it is said in the manual. Well and truly screwed.
As with the FM radio test that I did with NextRadio, I bet the NFC chip is present but not enabled and I'd be happy to find a ROM/Hack to enable both properly.
