sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community
Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.
It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)
Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting
Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

Yes, I have. But I am looking for FM Radio, and not internet radio. Slacker and nanogroove are internet dependent applications.

Your questions is not being understood, you asked for an alternative to the FM Tuner on the HD2 which would only be your current music and slacker app. What other radio would you like? If you are asking for a FM radio and you do not know that the HD2 has a FM radio built in you need to do some research and reword your question.

Yessir. His best bet would be to just load all his music and use the music player. I don't this there is an fm radio app out there.
I think the OP request was pretty clear, they are looking for a different FM Radio app than the stock one.
BTW, I haven't seen one anywhere but that doesn't mean there isn't one. You might have more luck asking in the Regular HD2 Themes and Apps forum.

His question is worded correctly and the question is valid. It's you who have problems understanding.
So let me re-phrase it for you.
Different frontend application for the build in, hardware FM radio.
Know any? If not, don't bother to answer. Nobody needs your attitude.

Thank all for the help. I will continue my search for this FM radio alternative, since the build in radio is not very good . If I happened to find one, I will definitely report back to you guys.

Don't think that works on HD2 I tried it a while back, may have to look at it again ...
I'm looking for a small gamepad that connects via bluetooth or usb cable to the Galaxy S for the purpose of playing NES/SNES/Genesis roms. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
Any WiiMote should work.

You here to make the biggest announcement since this phone came out?
Last I checked Wiimotes weren't working due to the change in the Bluetooth stack...
Wiimotes SHOULD work once CM6 comes out, but until then I'm not sure. maybe a PS3 controller? but that's a bit complex and not pocketable haha
I can't tell you when Ryan Frawley is going to release a 3.0 wiimote (or if our vibrants will somehow become able to use the old version) but I can say that in the meantime I have an idea as to how to construct something to tie them together like a PSP.
I have seen others using GPS holders and stuff to the same effect, this just seems like it would be a little less akward to use, so long as you can get your phone released in time to answer a call (or just use a bluetooth, heh).
Attached is a picture of the idea I had, anyone that wants to make it happen is free to. No patents or anything here.
Wiimote does not work on the Vibrant. Works wonderful on the N1.

Why do you think wiimotes will start working with CM6. The hardware in this phone is different than every other Android phone on the planet. This is Bluetooth 3.0. Is CM6 going to downgrade it to 2.1?
According to this post the Zeemote works with the psx emulator. I don't knowif it will work with the nes/snes ones or not. I don't know how well it works as a remote either, just remember reading about this the other day when I saw your post an thought I'd share.
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...mote-works-on-psx4droid-with-gamepro-drivers/
ziimote should work.
otherwise im waiting for CM6 to come out, then im planning on making a slimmer/lighter wiimote.
Based on the view count of this thread, someone could make a lot of Benjamins if they patented, designed, and produced a pint-sized gampad with bluetooth that would work with the Galaxy S. I wish I had the money or I'd do it myself because whoever does could make some hefty cabbage. I know I'd be first in line to buy one...I can't stand the on-screen controls for the emulators, but they are better than nothing at all of course.
Now this is worth a look. Anyone try it out on the Galaxy S?

What about mounting it like this guy did:
Well, since I'm a new user, it won't let me post the URL or picture, but I want to give credit where credit is due.... it's over at PPCgeeks forum. Thread number 129886. or search for "DIY - Custom Evo Gaming Mount! (**Wiimote**/SNES/NES/etc.)"

ROFL that's an awesome idea! Great find! I will definately have to try that, its much cheaper and easier since there are hundreds of those plastic wheels running around.
Its not a hardware problem, its software. Samsung put proprietary bluetooth stack in their version of android they loaded on the galaxy s phones. Its imcompatible, it doesnt support the bluetooth mode that the gamepads need to operate properly. thats why using a vanilla rom, or a rom that utilizes the stock google bluetooth stack (like CM6) works fine.
derek how do we know that? did you take touchwiz off your phone?
i think its a little deeper than that... we can ask eugene tho... he is building a 2.1 stock rom on his phone... we could ask him to try to hook up a wiimote

But I have no idea if the MSI bluetooth works with Galaxy S bluetooth stack, or if ANY gamepad does.
[deleted]
I'd donate a few bucks as well if I could get my wiimote working on my vibrant. It's not about the lack of physical keyboard either, as I hated using the keyboard on my g1 to play emulators. You don't get the same feel nor same fun factor on anything but a controller made for gaming.

Video here. Man this thread is kinda old.
Specs say that this device has FM Radio with RDS. I can't seem to find an FM Radio App on my atrix.
Did AT&T remove this feature? If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Uhm, "who cares, use this other app" is not a helpful answer. Don't bother to post unless you have meaningful information.
James, the FM radio should be one of the options in the music app.

Thanks for your reply, but when I go into "Music" I only see the mp3's on my SdCard...
As for the useless 2nd post, I already have TuneIn Radio, but there are some stations which I enjoy listening to that TuneIn does not have.
Thanks again for your response Stoli, hope I can figure it out soon.

I have to say I'm at a loss then. The specs did say it has an FM radio, and all signs indicated the Atrix would get the new Connected Music Player. I don't know if this is AT&T or Motorola's doing, but it sucks.

the atrix has an fm transmitter in it. not an fm tuner apparently which really makes no sense. but i think it'd be great to use it as a prank and make it so it bradcast on all channels and use sound grenade >: )

Could be cost or parents fees they (moto) does not want to pay for. Plus they would have to design and engineer for the interference caused by the fm part. Sum it up they are cheap.
