FM transmitter Driver and app - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi to all.
Exist a FM transmitter app (not bluetooth, transmit with chip radio) for android? If not, it's possible do a reverse engineering of radio driver of x10 mini pro to transmit FM waves on Radio Car???

I don`t thonk so. Probably phone dont`t have fm-antenna for transmission.

The headphones work as fm-antenna!

What an intriguing idea. I don't think there's any existing app's for it out there though. You may have to make it yourself..

Searching on google, i have find only bluetooth transmitter... I don't have a lot of knowledge for make a reverse engineering for the driver, but i ask this at the developers/members of this forum if want to develop.
Thanks!

It is recieving antenna. I think transmitting antenna won`t wired at all.
look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001117&highlight=fm+transmitter

So is not possible???

No. The FM-module in the phone is a receiver, and you need a transmitter...

Ok! Then i buy a FM transmitter on ebay!

XDA and Bluetooth?

Hi,
how can I use bluetooth with the XDA? And where can I get the required hardware?
Thanks :?:
all bluetooth devices i know of need SDIO and xda1 dont support that
i've seen no way for the xda1 to get bluetooth but i suppose it would be possible to do using the connector in the button and make a dongle which would route the bluetooth over the seriel port
but i doubt the market is big enough for anybody to make such a device which can only be used by a product which are being fased out

samsung hermes gps question

Hi, today i got my htc hermes. it comes with a samsung cpu.
now i want gps functionality but right now i am a noob on this terrain.
is it possible to geht gps working?
is it possible to get gps working without hardware mods?
is it tricky to get gps to work?
thanks for your help
There is no internal GPS support in the Hermes.
What if we were up for h/w modding?
Possible then?

This has been long discussed in the past. It looks like the chipset has an integrated GPS but it is not connected. Yes, you might be able to open your device, find the right place, iron on a clean enviroment an antenna, find a room for it in the device box and then close it all together and hope to get anything. However, it is much safer and easier to use a BT GPS receiver.
i have heard...
i have heard that the TyTN has an gps module inside but only the antenna is shortened.

It has but it is far more disabled than just the antenna, there is no power supply and the board is multi-layered which prevents regular hardware mods anyway. Even if you could do it, it would not be worth it IMHO.
There is a long existing thread on this if you want more info.
It's not even close to being a practicable possibility. As suggested above a small BT receiver works very well anyway and you just keep the BT in your pocket so no real inconveniance.

ok thank you

Wildfire FM transmitter

Hi,
my question is, whether is any chance to get to Wildfire an FM transmitter. I had it on Nokia N86 and it was great...
It's impossible since there's no hardware in it.. for once, I really envied some Nokia phones with fm transmitter..

The only solution is that buy an FM transmitter with a 3.5 mm jack entrance .
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yeah, I had that one time, but it was cheap crap and it got broken and not working ever since....well, i guess, I'll have to keep N86 for music and photos (got great 8MPx camera made by Carl Zeiss...makes beautiful picts ;-))
Thanks anyway ;-)
Hi everyone, I just found somewhere on this forum, that there is actually a device, that you plug into microUSB port, set the FM frequency and listen through car speakers. It was of course for older devices, but have you ever heard about that thing? I guess, that would solve my problem...thanks for any response

I didn't quite get what your query is, but what you have described is exactly the function of an FM Transmitter. They are very much available and should work on the Wildfire as well.

wasn't aware the atrix had fm capabilities ...working on ubuntu and synergy but will come back to this if its in its abilities. wish i could be more help
I don't know if it does. I'm curious if there is an app or if there is a hack?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I don't know of any phone that has an FM transmitter built into it, there are several that do however have FM receivers but as far as I have read on it the Atrix isn't one of them. I would suggest buying an FM transmitter from the store, I picked up a Belkin brand transmitter for $15 from a local Walmart.
Best I understand is the chip actually has FM built in but its just not activated or some nonsense, least what I read somewhere
There are in fact some phones that have this capability (which is awesome, in my opinion) but they're few and far between. I'd advise buying a Motorola T505...I have two and I love them.
I know phones had fm possibilities but weren't implemented untill a dev was able to pull it off. Eg nexus 1 but that was listening to fm not broadcasting so id say no but maybe 2.3 moto update will surprise and its in there somewhere. Till then, with locked boot, have to say no. I use an auxiliary 3.5 mm jack but fm trans r a dime a dozen. Navigation pauses music says take a left n back to the jams LOVE IT^_^

i think thats the deference between usa atrix version and europe atrix version.
in europe version(when released) will have an fm transmitter with rds
i dont know if usa version has build-in fm transmitter and not used. i hope so

It's built-in, just that att/bell disabled the fm radio.

Please do not mistake an FM receiver for a transmitter. These are two different modules as they do two different things.
Lots of nokias used to have transmitters; very convenient in cars.
I highly doubt the Atrix to have this technology; if someone spots something, please provide a source.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Im sure it doesnt, but the atrix is capable of transmitting to an FM transmitter via bluetooth, which is handy because fewer wires are involved

There are many phones that have FM Transmit enabled on them.
However you would be correct in saying none that are android based.
The most similar to android would be the N900 which uses the maemo OS
, its about 60% open source so its as close as they come.
From what I've read, the US version of the Atrix does have the FM chip, but they're not sure if it's hardwired into the system. Meaning, that it may not ever be functional on our phones. Last I read, they were awaiting the actual schematics to see if they could figure it out.

Or someone can take their atrix apart, look, and report back. From what I've read the chip supports receive/transmit both. I'd say it's hooked up just not enabled but I have no proof, just a guess.

That's what I thought as well.
Sorry for bringing up an old post but the chip in the Atrix is the BCM4329.

Ifixit had a complete teardown with super hi def pics. So no one has to take anything apart

I suppose if you were an electrical computer engineer, and you had the schematic for the chip itself and the schematic for the phone, and a microscope, you could look into for yourself....lol

[Q] fm transceiver

I was bored and was looking up some stuff about our phones and noticed that the wifi chip used in our phones is capable of fm receiver and fm transceiver so my question why the hell isn't this turned on by default and how hard would it be to enable this feature.. I would love to be able to stream my music to the cars radio.

You can stream via Bluetooth if your deck & phone are compatible or you can get one of those adapters that allows streaming threw FM stations.

Yes i know all of this, my concern was specifically with the fm side

The FM part ?? You posted you would like to stream your music to the cars audio. Well that's a way to do it. It works. Why would you need a different method for something that you can already do with little or no effort ?? JW?

Because i have to buy an fm transmitter when my powerful smartphone already has this function built inside of it, that i already paid you're and don't need another item dangling in the car, how is that hard to understand, that was my original question, if i wanted a cheapo transmitter from walmart i would have went and bought it
Sent from my EVO LTE 4G
Uh huh. = On to the next one.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
It is on this phone and the EVO 4g. I can't tell you why it isn't on by default. But on the EVO 4g, the problem was:
1 no one wanted to write the drivers
2 no one wanted to make an app for something that didn't have drivers
3 I don't think there were portable drivers from any other device
4 if I remeber correctly, there was some discussion whether the eternal antenna was the correct length.
^^^^^^^^ this
The agreement was that trying to do this would destroy the chip. It would be nice though...
Personally I would love the option.
