Now that we know there is a GPS chip on the Hermes, is it possible to pick up FM radio via it?

Why should that be possible?
now that would be a truly interesting concept, and a world first to boot.
Hi,
I read over on MacRumours.com that Apple are developing an FM Radio app for their iPhone.
Could such a thing be done on the HERO - or is it a hardware issue?
cheers
There's an FM radio app on the click/tattoo, so i suppose it's possible. But how the heck do i extract it from the device?

Apparently, more recent iPhones and iPod's have had an FM receiver/transmitter in them for some time now, but it was only being used to support Nike+ on iPods. Since the hardware is there, releasing an app to take advantage of it is going to be pretty easy to do.
I doubt that Hero has an FM hardware in it, but if it does the same should be theoretically possible.

Dave

The CDMA Touch Pro, Which is what USCC sells, does not have the FM Radio chip in it to aquire a radio signal. No Chip, No Radio. There is no setting that you will do to get it to work. Sorry Man
Yep, never had it, never will.
kinda figured that lucky i am on number 7 and this one doesnt work right and i have a guarantee from us cellular that when they get the touch pro 2 i will get upgraded to one! this phone is a big pos!!!!!!!!
Oh and by the way thank you for the info i really appreciate it is there anywhere else i could get that info????? I dont think so lol!
I was wondering if its possible to get an fm radio wich not uses internet on the rhod100-uk using the 11 pins headset wich i use as antenna for the radio in winmo. I saw that the galaxy s has the same system and cant we just instal that app or something?
I am using frx04 with kernel 1258

RHOD100's have an FM radio chip? I'm not aware of any RHOD's having an FM radio chip, so if the 100 does that's probably the only one that does...

AFAIK all RHODs have FM radios, or at least GSM ones.

Arrgh didn't know anything about a radio so i think only the rhod100 phones have that. I tried FM TwoO from the market but it didn't find the hardware for the fm radio. So i don't thing it's working, because the hardware isn't addressed for android.
Hrm. I'll look up some specs, I'm pretty sure my RHOD400 doesn't have an FM radio.
If it is doable, this would be very low priority... as in, if the devs are bored with nothing else to do, this might get addressed. However, I'm not aware of any dev with a RHOD100.
If anyone does know definitively which RHOD's have FM radios that would help... thanks!

If i know how to develop things i would be happy to help with everything, only if i knew a way how. (Probably the same for all of us)

I see... looks like the CDMA devices were left out to the pasture with this feature.
Should come eventually, but certainly not high on the list of things to do. Open a bug on the tracker! I don't think there is one for FM radio (but please search to make sure there isn't one.)

didn't get that, but anyways it says here that the fm radio is not ready yet ( i know it's outdated)
http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Port_Status
but yeah it's not a priority, not too many people use FM radios these days
Yeah my 210 has radio too. I presumed all rhods did, but maybe not. I do hear that it didn't come unlocked in the stock build or something . . . . .but within a week of buying my rhodium I had a custom rom with fm radio app installed on it.Only works well with htc headfones though, as antenna (and mine are fairly rubbish) so id say for most bluetooth/camera would be of higher priority to get working right
Same status on Blackstone. Need kernel support.
Anyway, if CDMA and GSM Rhod's use the same wireless chipset all of them have fm radio, like the nexus one. At least, if I understood something of all my readings

Uh, they don't use the same wireless chipset. They can't as they aren't all GSM
If I understand it correctly, both Sprint's and Verizon's TP2 are actually world phones meaning they have both CDMA and GSM. I suspect the CDMA world versions lack a functioning FM radio because of this extra radio.
I think it's similar to why the Epic 4G is so radically different than the rest of the Galaxy S phones as only Sprint needs WiMAX.
I the Herman/Raphael (Touch Pro) had a similar issue regarding the FM Radio being only enabled on the GSM version and not on the CDMA version. I had a Sprint Touch Pro and there was significant uproar that the FM Radio was not physically enabled on it where it was on the GSM version. Something about it being literally crippled on the hardware end to disable it.

I was talking about the bluetooth, IIRC it's where the radio fm receiver is.
I've been loving the jb Roms that have come out but I keep going back to ics because i use the FM radio every day. Does anyone know how to get the FM radio working on any jb rom?
Spirit radio but it didn't work for me
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Is there a reason it seems no one is working on it? What is stopping the app from working in jb?

Drivers most likely. That and the fact that the FM radio is on the same chipset as bluetooth so you risk breaking that if you try to get the FM radio working. The stock Sense 3.6 ROM actually turns on bluetooth when the FM radio is used, which is why it won't work in airplane mode.

Bump. Anyone looked into this recently?
re-bump
Did someone find a workaround, or at least got Spirit FM to work?
Thanks in advance
