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!

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!

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.

is their a way to transmit audio from the hd2 to a device via fm waves?

Although it appears that the HD2 is capable of FM transmission, it is not activated. There is a long discussion about the FM transmitter here:
forum,xda-developers,com/showthread.php?t=622377
(I can't post links... just change the commas to dots)
yeah, seems like we need a driver written for it. No other wm phones have this particular Broadcom chip.

That'd be fantastic!
@op, as nothing's available now, you might be interested in one of the many 3.5mm FM transmitters available at www.dealextreme.com or on ebay. Obviously they need a power source (usually 12v car port, USB or AAA batteries).
Hope that helps.
You can also get bluetooth adapters with built in FM transmitters that will enable hands free for car use. Very handy!
I was trying to do a little research in to if I could get the FM transmitter/reciever to work or if it would be even possible. A little google searching around I found this. And the person who had been doing the most work on that part of android was an actual broadcom employee. So I sent him a quick, polite email asking him about FM support in the Nexus one. It is as follows:
"Mr. Harte,
I noticed your commits here. Will Broadcom provide support/drivers for the FM transmitter/receiver in the Nexus One and other Android devices?
Sincerely,
Will"
And his surprisingly helpful and quick response:
"Hello,
The FM receiver is supported in the HTC Incredible and HTC EVO 4G. I’m not sure if the Nexus One hardware supports FM. The 4329 chip has FM, but I don’t know if the external components required for the FM Antenna are populated on the board. I believe there is also some work needed in the kernel to enable the audio path for FM, but if/when HTC open-sources the kernel for the EVO or Incredible, this should be evident. Also, the EVO and Incredible use the Broadcom Bluetooth stack, while the Nexus One uses BlueZ. I don’t think there is any support in BlueZ for FM. I have no idea about FM Transmit, but I would highly doubt it is possible to get that to work…
-Howard"
That makes me sad but at least now I know. Hopefully though this will provide some light to any crafty developers interested tinkering with this.
Shorthand.
Even if the hardware says fm/transmit/receive, we would have to solder, replace the bluetooth stack, and possibly replace the chip firmware to get it to work.
Short, short hand.. NO FM on nexus one.
No really, somehow he neglected to mention the sister Desire.
Regarding the antenna portion, it's been proven that the nexus can find stations. . .just not output any sound from them.

I do remember reading about that. Can you find the source? If thats true, then we know the only problem is the stack.

Check the notes from Modaco's Desire ROM port. I think it's there. But since FM radio is analog, there may be a lot more to it than a stack.

Yup, his bluetooth doesn't work because he is using the Nexus One kernel. Well, we now know what part of the kernel isn't allowing the bluetooth to work; Bluez vs the Broadcom Stack. I don't know the legal implications of using it, but it seems like it would be possible.

Patently FALSE.
All we need is a kernel with FM support and the FM driver. Receive is definitely possible.
I do believe however that the power amplifier chips for transmitting are absent, so that won't be a possibility.

Getting an analog tuner that isn't connected to anything to tune is not much help. I don't care what software you write, if there is no output to be captured, it's not going to happen. It's like a cable box with no television connection. It tunes just fine. If the rest of the connecting hardware is there, then there's a shot. But Google has never said there would be FM in the Nexus One at any point. I am less than optimistic.

That still has not been determined.
or you can go to your favorite radio station's website and click on "listen in" or whatever and now your listening to FM on your phone. =D
or maybe not, thats how it works on my pc..
i dont understand what the bluetooth has anything to do with this? why does it matter the blueZ vs broadcom bluetooth hardware? it sounds like the fm radio portion is there and can even pick up stations with an antenna, just routing the audio. but that doesnt need to happen thru bluetooh, it could happen through the headset or loudspeaker.

For the most part yes (esp. with those of us with froyo and flas ). But what made me start searching for this was a tornado that past by me by only a few miles. I luckily was in the car and able to tune in to a station broadcasting the Emergency Broadcasting Systems's message, but I thought it would be nice to be able to do that on my phone.

Integrated circuits perform multiple functions. That broadcom chip could do a lot more than blue tooth. FM is analog. If all you have is the tuner and there is no connecting hardware, then yeah, you receive a signal, but it's going nowhere. If you can't capture the output, you can't use it. Do we know if the FM radio signal in the Desire is ever digitized? It could work like a regular FM radio and the digital/software part is for tuning purposes only and radio itself is analog. I read somewhere is that the HTC FM radios require wired headset use - and don't play back through blue tooth. Irony there, I think. Speculation is that is because they are used for an antenna, but I think it could also be that it's because it's an analog output. I am guessing the N1 is missing all the required circuits - except the tuner.

This is true of the Touch Pro hardware at least. The FM Radio wouldn't function with out the headphones plugged in. It used the headphone wire as the antenna.
there is a great thread going in the nexus development area where some people are trying to write the kernel so that the sound has an output. It sounds like they are making great progress maybe anyone reading this thread who has some technical skills can help. I believe they too have been able to tune the phone to a station but not output the sound yet.
It seems to me we need definitive answers to the following 2 questions from HTC / Google ...
Q1. Does the nexus one have the necessary hardware and interconnections for FM radio reception and output through either the speaker or headphones. YES/NO?
Q2. Does the nexus one have the necessary hardware and interconnections for FM radio transmission of any type (music / voice). YES/NO?
If both answers are a definitive NO, we can move on. If there is a YES then the clever people here, who make the magic happen, have some hope of success.
Does anyone know the correct ppl at HTC / Google to ask these questions of?
I don’t have anything to add but would like to encourage you guys in your endeavour to get FM radio working on the N1 and also point you too or remind you what androidpolice reported at Google I/O
If this is true then perhaps all the building blocks are in place.

Or maybe we just need to think and use the info that we have in other threads on the subject. But I'll repeat things written in another thread, by myself and other guys:
Q1. Broadcom chip brief (the best doc available for it on the net) clearly shows the radio having no separate connections but using BT's high speed UART and I2C. The interconnects are the same, and since Paul's Desire port has radio control working - that means I2C is working too, so the answer is YES.
Q2. The stated output power of the chip is good enough for short-range transmission w/o a dedicated antenna, using headphone cord. The control and data are given in the same way as in Q1. So, the answer is YES again, but with more trouble - while there is a working device utilizing FM receiver functionality, which can at least theoretically be ported completely using its source, there is no device with FM transmitter, which means - if someone wants to use transmitter, that someone needs to acquire specific Broadcom documents for the chip.
So I guess the thread can be laid to rest, and anyone that can really help - for example, to go over Desire source and figure out the correct setting for QSD UART to receive FM audio and the procedures to stream it to the speaker - are welcome to head over to Dev section.
Hello,
We all know our bluetooth 3.0 is missing something like HID ( am i correct? )
And because of that we can't connect bluetooth devices to it, like Keyboards and Game controllers... Even heard some bluetooth stereo sets won't connect to it, like BMW's embedded ones ( am I correct again? xD )
Has samsung said anything about this HUGE issue? I find it HUGE because it is the only wall i "see" between using the full potential of this device or not using it and think how it would be if i could....
Best regards
BT is not damaged, so there is no fixing
but it can be improved to include more profiles to support more devices
supposedly in 2.2 we might get additional hardware support like the BT keyboards, mouse and such

That would mean a profile which would allow us to finally connect a WiiMote ?
And in my opinion the BT is damaged, and needs fixing, it is unacceptable not being able to connect a Bluetooth headset to your 450€ Device
That is how i see things, others may not see it that way, but hey, we are free to have our own opinions right?
as it is right now
the BT is able to connect to standard mono headsets, and stereo headsets
as well as GPS satellite, and Car Stereos (i use it all the time great base/sub!)
it has profiles to transfer files via BT
from my point of view it's pretty complete, with the minor exception of the missing HID keyboard/mouse/game controllers support
the missing BT Profile is more like a missing Driver to support those last 3 devices
Just install blue input or get apps from google to install kb hid. Bt isn't missing anything in sgs. Screw wii input. How many. Normal bt devices do you know can accept wii as input without 3rd party drivers

Where is your proof? If that's the case then why did they make wii 3rd party driver? Seriously if you are going to ***** over a small thing like wii remote and kb hid (fixable if you find my bt kb fix in other postings ) then return the sgs and get a more mature phone like the google nexus one god phone.

Ironically enough, your "fix" was posted on the forum for the product on dealextreme, doesn't say what phone the fix is for, and doesn't work on the SGS.
BT is missing something in the SGS - the 3rd party apps you believe would fix the issue don't work. hcitool doesn't recognise a local BT device, and so can't connect to anything, all the wiimote apps error on connection - this is not a lack of profiles, it's a lack of (or at the very least, different; different enough to cause a whole host of devices and 3rd party apps to be incompatible with the SGS) implementation one way or another.
Please, try your fixes before you go preaching "screw wii input".

So far, I'm liking this keyboard. A few of the buttons are marked a bit oddly for Android, but overall, I really just wanted the basics. A few of the specialty keys work well - magnifier bring up search, volume keys work, arrows scroll and pan...
So, yeah..not too bad and pretty low profile as well. Operates off two AAA batteries Paired very easily. Occasionally after a long period of not being used, I have to turn it off and on again, but it reconnects Very Quickly.
Very Happy until the next one that's perfect comes along.
