FM Radio

I see that a lot of devices these days have FM radios built in.
Can the XDA be programmed like this, or does there have to be some piece of hardware built into the device?
I cycle to work approx 20-30mins (depending on my mood!). Thats where the MP3 is brilliant. But the unpredictability of the radio is better. Any answers much appreciated.

you can get a memory card that works as a fm radio and you can listen to the radio on the net but its expensive using the net.

Where can you get an SD-card that works as a radio for the XDA?

programming
I was hoping that it was just the matter of writing some code.
After all the XDA does have an aerial built into the device!

While an aerial is an important part of a radio, you will need to connect it to an FM receiver circuit and then to the audio circuits to actually be able to hear anything. The aerial in the XDA is used for GSM/GPRS, which is digitally transferred on 900/1800/1900MHz. FM radio transmisions are usually found in the 80-110MHz band and are analog.

SD FM Tuner

Sorry, SDIO cards do not work in the XDA I, so the SD radio tuner will not work.

it's for Palm OS only.... :?

Using your XDA to play stereo

Hi Guys,
Sorry, put this in 'H & A' section instead of 'General' :?
I replied to this quote, then realised that I'd never seen the iROCK! mentioned generally here:-
I have an early version which works great with either battery or car adaptor (tho never in this country obviously!!! :wink: )

I'm trying to use my XDA2 as a MP3 player and want to take an audio feed from the XDA2 and put it into my hifi. The only way I can think of is to use the internal serial port and convert it to twin phono's but not sure if this will work. Any bright lights out there know the answer?

You could also try the amazing iROCK! which you plug into you earphone socket & it transmits on one of 4 FM frequencies to your nearest radio.
(it's illegal in the UK unfortunately, but available from USA etc.)
Don't know where you are located. If ya get caught over here, I never suggested this Guv! :lol: :wink:

Have a Rocking New Year everyone!

but the radio transmitter doesnt give out High Definition music... but its cool to use especially in a public place! all the other radios sounding like your fone! just like having your own short ranged radio station... coool

Can you listen to the Radio on the XDA-1?

Hi,
Is it possible to listen to the radio on the XDA-1 (wallaby) ?
Most mobiles have this feature, I was wondering if it can be enabled on the XDA-1?
Max

few mobil telephones have FM radio really
and no even though you can get SDIO cards with fm radios then xda1's dont support SDIO
but you can use headsets with FM radios in it along with any device
FM and GSM are very very very very different
so having a GSM reciever dont give you the ability to recieve FM radio
it require a special chip which the cellphones which do have FM radios have
much like you cant use your normal tv as a gps reciever
or your tv satelite disc as cellphone

Thanks for that.

If the Wallaby has a SD slot, you could use a SD FM radio card like this one.

Thanks. but the xda only has a sd slot (not an sdio)

FM on Wizard?

Is it just possible to have an FM radio on the O2 Mini S? I know many would like to have it... wonder why it wasn't included. Any solutions... thanks.

try http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda/ , I stream fm radio through my mda all the time

Thanks but...
Thanks for the information. But I would like to listen to my local FM channels. Without streaming them... any suggestions for that?

It's not possible, as there's no FM receiver hardware in the Wizard... :roll:

OIC
Oh ok... probably have to look for and external handsfree with an FM radio... pity... got everything... but...

you could always buy something like this and use a jack adaptor on the mda http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stereo-Earpho...37QQihZ016QQcategoryZ3274QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You can certainly do it with BBC radio stations which include local like merseyside, manchester, leeds etc. Use Real Player.

Atom has FM radio.

No, it doesn´t have fm radio built in.
you can only use the streaming player to listen to radio stations.
Cheers

problem is that it dont have normal SDIO slots if it had
you could get plenty of SD cards which were FM radios
another option is that many headsets you can buy
comes with FM radio included
well maybe not many but you can get em

Radio possible P3600
The motherboard of the P3600 has an emplacement for a FM Radio chip, but most Trinitys do not have it. I believe somewhere in the world some company sells them with the FM Radio chip. Before buying I could have sworn that I saw it somewhere and since I have seen photos of the trinity motherboard with and without the FM Radio chip - on a French site PPC Cool - can't find the post right now.
