FM Radio on Universal anyone?

Hello everyone,
Hope all is fine with each & everyone of you.
I have a question that I need to ask (especially for those who live in the US of A) or those who are very tech savvy with in depth understanding of HTC devices hardware, if any of you had tried this item (or can try it & confirm)
http://www.gomogear.com/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=214620
It would be really cool to have an FM Radio in our (at least my ) PPC
It uses the SDIO technology, I dont know if its supported by Universal but as you can see in this table
http://www.gomogear.com/genDocs/SDFM2updatedCompatibilityList.html
They do NOT list any Universal device, but again if you see the bottom of the main page, it reads Copyright © 2005 GoMoGear.com
which means they do NOT update their site as often as they should, so maybe...
I hope to hear the good news soon, of course if you happen to know an alternative for this gadget, please let us (me) know
Thank you & have a nice weekend.

i don't know about radio, but i use sling media and watch my tv all the time. there is a setting that you can choose the uses audio only as well

Well one can use Nokia HS 12w BT headset for FM...I am using & its amazing...

Hello Dean,
Well for a start I thought (Sling Media) was some GPRS service or 3G feature that your network operates, I did some search and I found out that this is a device you have to install somewhere & then have internet connection to be able to receive it's signal wherever you are, I like the idea, but this is not what I meant with the original post, this mean you has to have whole lot of equipments (TV, cable, satellite, etc..) somewhere (home or office).
The thing I referred to in the original post is a SDIO card, same as SD that we use for storage on our Universals, but these comes with built in IO (Input/Output) features, check this out for more details
http://www.sdcard.org/sdio/index.html
I found a product that provides FM tuner in an SDIO card, but they do not list Universal as a compatible device, not because its not (I think) but because they have not tried it it, as it is (the SDIO) compatible with previous HTC models.
I hope someone can confirm
Have a nice weekend

Well I didnt know Nokia HS 12w BT has built-in FM tuner, which is cool if it is, but I do already have a Motorola BT HT820 headset.
By the way, although Nokia headset are supposed to be wireless, the real thing is that they do have wires (Motorola HT850 is really wireless), but again this is not what we are talking about here, its the FM on Universal.
Thank you for your idea though mate!

HS 12w has builtin FM TUner....

Can't comment on the one you're asking about but the link below has one that I can guarantee does work as I have one. http://www.c-guysusa.com/

Does it work with Universal even if it is not listed?!
I read the compatibility page and something tells me that it IS the same device, as they both have SAME listed phones the SAME way, anyways I don't care what is the brand on it as long as it is working, so can you please confirm it is working with Universal?
Did you have any problem installing the software?
Thanks Mate & I hope you had a nice weekend!
Cheers

Indeed I can confirm it works even though it's not listed. I had no trouble installing the software but the user interface is quite basic and not much to look at.

Radio playback

Hi all
Does anyone know of a tweak to allow radio to be played without inserting a wired headset, I often listen to music via bluetooth and would like the option of radio as well, thanks in advance.
By the way, I did search the forum before posting this as I know you guys have certain protocols in place.
Cheers.

try this and see if it works
Change the following registry : HKLM\System\State\Hardware\Headset from 0 to 1

hi, thanks for the reply.
I don't have my headset with me today but after I changed the reg the radio still would not play directly through the phone, what exactly should this reg edit do?

it should make the phone think that a headset is plugged in..havent tested it myself to be honest but it should work..however whether or not you will have a signal from the radio is another story

Dude, ther is no use for this... Even if you would get the device to start the radio without the headset pluged in, there would be no sound since the headset is the antenna...
So it would be like you are watching tv without cable... no reception!
There must be at least something in the mini usb plug. I found that it works at least a little bit when plugging in this thing only and playing the sound over the internal speaker though reception is poor at best.

Good luck!

There is some use to it... although the wire is the antenna the phone will act as an antenna also so you will recieve some signal it just won't be as strong.
Without fully testing there is no way of telling how good the signal would be, surely a phone that can pick up a GPS signal and a mobile signal should be capable of also picking up a radio frequency?

no, its not possible:

ok, I get the message. Thanks for all your help.
OT - I searched "Radio without Headset" accross this forum and had no hits.
I noticed that innocent people get shot down when they don't search before posting a question, how are they supposed to get decent results with a search engine that doesn't work properly. - Great site guys, the people here really know there stuff but perhaps go a little easier on people who search to no avail before posting. You don't have to reply to the post and if you do wouldn't it be best to simply give the answer or direct them to another post, up to you but it doesn't help anyone to just put - SEARCH THE FORUM or RTFM (a new one on me!)
Hope you see the point of this post, I am simply giving my opinion as an outsider who has just purchased a Diamond and I'm just getting into mods and tweaks!
p.s. Loving the GPS cycle computer. Best app by far!

GSM is in a very much higher frequency band, so it uses a very much smaller antenna than you would need for your radio. This is two very different systems. It will not work without an antenna

two BT connections -possible?

Is it possible to connect two BT devices at the same time to BA 6.5? E.g. BT headset and external GPS?
Because I want to hear the direction thru my BT headset, and every time I connect the headset, the GPS connection fails.

Please take a minute to go over the Rules and Regulations of the forum.
Also, it seems that you are a Blue Angel owner, in which case I will encourage you to go over the BA forum regulations here

Sorry egzthunder - but I did all this for some time now.
None of my searches found a working solution for this problem.
And this forum is the only one related to BA only (and not all those "NEW" devices )
I do think that I should "rephrase" my Q:
After connecting my GPS ant to my device, and opening IGO8 software, everything works OK. The moment I press "ON" my BT headset (Jabra BT5010) the GPS connection drops dead.
I tried all the "solutions" mentioned around, none worked.
Also- they all refer to WM5 and 6, NOT WM6.5
Your thread is nice, but with no answer in it...
Thanks

In BA Bluetooth 1.1. For multi-connections needs Bluetooth 2.0. :-(

This is not the problem, as I connected two devices with my old IPAQ 6340 and he had BT 1.1 also.
i think it's something with the 6.5 "CR_K_D" rom or RADIO
(I'm using radio1.15.00 and rom 21139)

No, BT1.1. not working with two devices in the same time !

BT 1.1 is working flawlessly...

Sorry , but you are wrong.
I have done a simple test:
I took a brand new SX66 with WM2003, radio1.02 , and installed nevigation software on it. Next- I connected the GPS AND my BT Jabra headset to the sx66- both worked great, and I was able to hear the nevi directions thru the headset...
Same thing with my (VERY OLD) Ipaq machine...
So the problam is with x-plode rom. not the hardware... :-(

Maybe you right, if uses two different profiles will (must) be work.
But if uses one profile -no , ex. GPS and DUN (over COM)

Use HTC Touch Diamond 2 as a remote for a rc car

Hi everyone,
I already posted this thread a few days ago in the "Questions and Answers" forum, but since there weren't many reactions (maybe it was not the appropriate place for it), I'll see if I'll be more successful here.
Okay, here is the idea. I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 and I was thinking that it could be interesting to try to use it as a remote control to pilot a small car or plane (using the Bluetooth frequency).
I found several receivers in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, but I'm not sure whether it could work or not. Here are a few: link 1, link 2, link 3.
So the main questions are:
- Is it possible to program my HTC so that it sends information the receiver will 'understand', which is without having to add any supplementary electronic components between my phone and the receiver (or is there a hardware problem with the kind of signal that I can transmit with my phone and the kind of signal these kind of receivers can get, like a frequency incompatibility or something else)?
- Is there by any chance already an app that allows me to do just that (or something close to it that would need minor modifications)?
On top of this, I was also thinking of adding a camera on the car that would send back to my phone what it records. But this more than optional since it probably will make things much more complex... (I found transceivers such as this one and this one, but it looks like a lot of work to install and configure them).
Thank you for your answers and your help in advance!

hello there, what I want to say you, that there is nothing impossible.
a few weeks ago i downloaded archive from torrent tracher called "ppc essentials" in this archive I found alot of interresting apps and also 1 that actually did is, recorded any type of signal and then you coulded emit it with your pda later, i dont remember the name, maybe something like "remote..." im not sure, oh and i have same pda as you and had no luck with using it, not sure why, maybe u will have more luck.
cheers.

Thank you for your answer d1m0n69, and sorry for the delay.
I'll look for this and see if it can help me .

[REQ] Activating FM Transmitter & Full 802.11N Support

in the regestry edit you enter the section BCMSDDHD1 has any one noticed that the first 3 letters bcm reveals to the broadcom chip that exists in it as models from this company starts with 3 letters like (BCM4329)
and the only chip in this company that supports n wifi is the (BCM4329) that exists in the google nexus one and this chip supports fm transmition so
conclusion (if hd2 really supports wifi n type then it contains the only chip that supports it which is the BCM4329 that should support fm transmittence ) so if (wifi n) is really supported then the hd2 has a built in (fm transmitter hardware) that exists in the (BCM4329)chip so we hope to make an application to activate this option
correct me if iam wrong
what we have reached till now for developers
1.BLAST3RR have helped us with the datasheet in the attatchements for the broadcom chip
2. some tests are made to make sure that the hd2 has a really wifi n hardware and it seems that it supports it some what so we are some what sure that hd2 contains the BCM4329 chip as it is the only chip that supports wifi n type but we need live evidense
3. there are some pics of the internal components but it doesnot show the kind of the chip
4. xmoo posted a link to a cab that may help us in developing http://rapidshare.com/files/34053706...ebug_Tools.cab and here is the link of its thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5446085
5.BLAST3RR reached that hd2 definitely has an audio path to the TX part for the FM radio, as it is listed in the 'WceSetAudioDev'.
Among the options is a 'I2S TX'. I therefore assume this is the path needed to feed the transmitter audio
6.useful files are added in attatchements fmradiosdk.dll & htcfm.dill to help in development
what is missing us
1. we only miss drivers for now
thanks you all for your support
i have posted a post in windows software development forum to ask experts to help us this is the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624822
updates
the hd2 is confirmed now to to have the bmc 4329 see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624331 see the attatchements ​

let's hope some of the professionals read this post and help us

please i don't want this post to die

Anything is (possible). But wouldn't the (HD2) need some kind of (transmission aerial) suitable for (FM)? And if it had that, then (HTC would have added the feature in the first place).
Why the weird brackets, by the way?

interesting

Good luck for the R&D guys to figure that out. Some mod should make this one sticky.

oooh yea, subscribing

the fm transmittance antenna is in the broadcom chip(BCM4329) it self as it is said to has two antennas see this http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4329
and rememper tp2 it has fm radio hardware but it was disabled until some developers enabled it by cab and disabeling wifi n in hd2 until a sutiable tweak to enable it (who knows why htc do things like this)

i hope this thread to be stickey as it will be ignored and we will never know the truth

Very interesting indeed!

Even if this is the case, I think the same antenna would be used as for receiving FM radio (the headset). So still, no worries as far as the aerial concerns.
This would probably require a driver to work first, though. Then the second thing to find is an application to send audio to it/control frequencies.
Anyone who would be able to develop such application will definitely get a donation from me.

but i think fm transmittance antenna is not the same as the fm reciver my frind has nokia n79 it needs headset to recive fm but it transmits without it
i think fm transmittence is direct from the chip as it has two antennas one for wifi and other for fm transmittence as i read before but reciving fm signals is through the headset as it needs longer antena

I know, but I was just stating that the aerial should therefore be no problem.
And that this would definitely be worth investigating.

When I had a Nokia N86 it had the FM transmitting aerial built into the battery cover.
