Hi all...quick question...do any of you have FM radio with this device? I have all of my MP3's loaded and performed the headphone mod (soddering a set of sony earbuds to the original headset) but the gym broadcasts TV stations on FM. I am just trying to figure out if there a way to do that without carrying an additional device/separate radio??
i looked on the magicain and prophet forums as well as the search...thanks for the help!
according to these sites, advantage has stereo fm radio:

is it true???!!!!
NO! it is not true!
I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Ameo doesn't and it's the same hardware as X7500. Stereo speakers (dual), yes, and "stereo bluetooth", yes, but not FM radio.
Official specs are here: http://www.seehtc.com/features.html

'Stereo speakers (dual), yes, and "stereo bluetooth", yes, but not FM radio.'
how good are the stereo speakers?
by the way, where can i get some good standard ring tones from? any good websites where i can actually listen to them (trial thing)?
the WM5 standard ring tones are terrible. the only decent one, which has become old, is the classic ring tone. Nokia for example has some good phone ring tones with good speakers. any suggestions?
You can create your own ringtones. It must be MP3 files so it is very easy

just copy them to /application data/sounds
Resco Radio
Why bother with FM Radio when you get Resco Radio v1.70. Absolutely brilliant IMHO and far more choices of stations than your average FM radio.
Mind you this only applies to people with an unlimited data plan or those who will use it via Active Sync or wi-fi.
I no longer buy music as I can record the latest music/genre of my choice straight to MP3 and even use them as ringtones.
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/default.asp
or just download the trial version for a look.
although there is no radio I listen to the bbc radio4 and 7 dab streams via 3g on the way to work each day.
admittedly it does drain the battery faster than i suspect a fm radio would.
I did trial the resco radio app but it has no bbc radio staions.
if you are interested in a specific station then google "radio streaming windows mobile"
one link i use (only accessible from your phone) is

there is a program on the x7500 called audio manager that will allow you to cut songs or use them as ringtones.good program to have
The HTC Advantage PRO retail box sure does not come with any radio station tuning software what so ever, unless you consider Windows Media Player RSTP protocol a "radio station stream". You can stretch the term I guess to include the streams out there.... but wanting the sky to be pink does not make it so.

could i switch between earphone or speaker when listening the FM Radio program, I'm using lg ks20
Nope. Not possible to listen to the radio through the speaker.
The radio sound doesn't go through Bluetooth A2DP either.
Do like I do: use Resco Radio or GS Player with shoutcast radio stations! No problem that way.
Hmmm when I goto the FM radio there is no sound coming through the earphones. Check the volume is up and nothing at all. I have to rescan each time, and that re jogs the sound output through the headphones..
Also the quailty doesnt sound amazing at all, even with technics headphones.
Music player works fine.

When you scroll with your finger to a frequency you have to press stop and then when you set the frequency press play.
Am pretty pleased with the quality myself, all works well, tunes fast, all the RDS data with station name and program info works.
My experience of the radio is that its utter crap. I tested it on a number of strong signal radio stations and all of them come out mono, no stereo from the radio at all.
also the sound quality sounds like a crap speaker sitting in a bean can. hollow sounding rubbish, very surprised that they can make a radio that rubbish these days.
Mp3 player sounds great though, nice clean full sound.
you can listen radio online
I thought I read somewhere that you can listen to the FM radio through the phone loudspeaker instead of the headphones?
If so, how???
You can but you would still need the earphones as they act as an antenna

Agree, although utter crap is just too positive a description.

thanks
Fm radio is mono or stereo
Pls help.
My FM Radio is still MONO.
FM Radio on SGS is MONO or STEREO ?
For what is still MONO ?
It's stereo
The headphone that comes in the package is not good, please use any other headphone[I used the iPhone 2G headphone] and the FM radio is "stereo"[I have Galaxy S in India], the FM just need any headphone not necessarily "samsung". Try this, I have tried it and it works as expected!
-Pramod
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do I check whether FM is running in MONO mode or STEREO mode on my phone?
I use other headphone - Coss Porta Pro. FM Radio is still MONO.
I use active loudspeaker, still MONO.
Anybody has STEREO FM radio ?
Pls help with this problem.
I have radio playing MONO too in my SGS. It's not much important for me, but I think it's serious bug in Samsung's flagman phone that costs more than 500 $ ...
did you people even read the previous message, the #2 reply?
the FM radio is STEREO you just need to plug in a STEREO head phone for it to work.
in areas of poor reception it might sound like mono, but that happens even if you have a $3000 car stereo, it's not the phone fault for weak FM sources radio station.
in my city there is a channel i really like to listen to 103.5 but the reception is very poor on most FM radio at home/work/car unless you are near the source, which is on the other side of the city.
luckly they have Online streaming, so i listen to them online when my FM radio reception is poor in whever i happen to be at the time.
mine always plays mono...

But my Radio is also always MONO

Sennheiser CX300 are the mono headphones you think?
I'd plugged many different headphones, sound ALWAYS MONO instead of mp3-player that STEREO. All radiostations in good quality of reception always mono. It's a bug of Samsung...
Using hearphones I have to set volume to lowest setting while listening FM Radio since is to high, but for all of the others multimedia apps i have to set to middle. Anyone have this base volume setting so high for the FM Radio app. The O.S. doesn't have a separate setting just for the fm radio volume, it's right? thanks

Maybe it's fm station problem. This doesn't happen on my phone though. Are you using sound mod like viper4android or Dolby Atmos etc. By the I am using Dolby Atmos.

Sorry, i'm using bundled fm radio app to listen air stations, internet radio apps use the multimedia volume.
the problem persists after some firmware upgrades, no one has the same behaviour?
