http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...fm-radio-tune-in-using-the-droid-3-radio-apk/

If you’re a Droid Bionic owner that’s feeling a little disappointed now that you’ve noticed your coveted new device lacks a preinstalled FM radio app, fret no more, XDA forums is confirming a very simple solution. Just download the non-market .apk file included below and install accordingly. This is the same version that is presently working with the Droid3 and most all other Motorola smartphones.

Download: FMRadio.apk

I wish this worked for the Atrix

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
The kernel doesn't support fm radio. We have the hardware but there's no way of knowing if it's enabled or not and no dev willing to do the programming for something that might not even work. Faux said that if someone can show him the system schematics that proves we have fm radio built in he would enable it on his kernel

There are news about faux kernel w

orking fm radio on atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
Search the forum. Yes we have a chip with FM capability, but the pins are not connected. So, no, there is no way to use the FM radio on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertHavens:
Do you have any evidence for your claim that the pins aren't connected?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sony108:
I've noticed that Atrix 4G has a hidden FM Radio app which is exactly same as the one in Atrix 2G model. We can access it through Anycut app > Activity > FMPlayer. But the thing is that it doesn't find any station and keeps on displaying "Launching FM radio. Please wait..." and "The scan was not able to start. Please try again". So this may be because of missing connections to act as an antenna needed to work the FM radio.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedodede:
What is anycut app?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
Yep. You can install any FM radio app you want, but it won't work. The connections to enable and access the FM transceiver are not made on the pcb. there are 20 page long threads on this forum discussing this. The proof? Open up your phone and follow the traces.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sony108:
Its an app which lets us to create Home Screen Shortcuts to anything we want. You can download it from Play Store and its Free. After installing you long press on home screen and select Android Widgets > Any Cut > Activity > FMPlayer to get a shortcut of Motorola's own FM Radio app already there in Atrix 4G though it won't work at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedodede:
Why i can't find it in playstore?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sony108:
Oh! It seems Google has abandoned / removed this app from Play Store :confused:

You can get it from here :)

So atrix has a chance to see radio fm working one day?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samcripp:
No fm radio. Is not working. It has been tried before. It wont and will never work
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewartsoda:
Oh good crap, not this again. I thought we had been through this already.

The Atrix does not, and will not, have FM support. Not pinned out, so you might as well forget it. The chip is there, but it's not connected, so it effectively doesn't exist. You CANNOT connect it yourself, as it's a BGA part. That means all the balls are UNDER the chip. Furthermore, the board layout doesn't have the proper traces to use that chip. You're doubly screwed.

It's like you putting extra RAM inside your computer's case (without connecting it) and then asking how you can get that extra ram to work. IT WON'T WORK. IT'S NOT CONNECTED.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedodede:
In theory if we reballing the chip and trace the connection on board the radio fm could be work? But this operation it's very hard so it's impossible
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddhard:
This has been posted to death over the last two years. If you are good with a soldering iron and have balls of steel you might be able to connect the antenna. Just use the search button. There are loads of threads that have already covered this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangbunna:
i wonder if there is a mod thin pbc or film-pbc board with ready made chip like this

and connect the pin to where it sould go. so it should make FM Radio works.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firecode95:
Well there is atrix schematic where can see what pins is connected and what isn't connected. As I understood then just radio antenna isn't connected.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehjr:
If you're feeling adventurous enough to try adding an antenna, I'd suggest looking at some hi-res photos of the board and see if you can find where the antenna would go. After all, there's no risk in looking at the photo's, and it's a lot better option than pulling the board out just to have a look. I suspect that the required connection ends at the chip rather than being conveniently available on an unused solder pad, but you never know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaghetermattis:
Hi,

I'm new to both this forum and android, just switched from iphone and already running into the same dead end that I was trying to avoid. Hope to get some suggestions on solutions before trying sell it off again...

I bought a second hand SGSII which is from the UK (T-mobile), and with the help of my brother who has a SGSII and have been on android for a while, I debranded/rooted changed ROM, Kernel and Modem firmware. Before doing this I noted that it did not work with the network I am on but it did with another (both Swedish). After rooting etc I tried again, still does not work (I've tried several sims from my provider, none of them work, still only the other provider). I tried using the Sim Unlock app on Market but it is of no use: It DOES NOT ASK for a sim unlock code on start up. In fact, the unlock app worked and gave me such a code but I cannot use it. Also, I tried plugging in the code using a few of the call codes but it was of no use. And when I put *#SIMLOCK# into the phone dialer everything says 'off'.

Does anyone have any idea of what to do? I cannot go back to Samsung as I do not have a receipt. I hate to think that I have to end my use of Android before it ever started but I have searched my problem for days on end and neither me nor my brother can think of anything.

Any help most appreciated!

Cheers Matt

I am confused did you buy an unlocked phone . If not did you get it unlocked .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaghetermattis:
JJEgan - sorry if I was unclear. I do not actually know for sure, but as I have never seen the screen on startup where it asks for the unlock code I suspect that it must have been. It now - same as it has been for as long as I have had it - works only with one network which has nothing to do with T-mobile (on which is was originally).

I only know of one way of unlocking, i.e. the unlock app on Market. If there are others I would be very interested!

Hi - been busy the last few days and unable to try getting the phone to work. I cannot enter the APN settings (which should only have to do with internet?) as I cannot connect to any network in the list - I get "unable to select network".

Has anybody noticed that whilst using Handcent, (with the box checked for preventing resends) that often times after a restart, it'll resend a SMS you might've sent earlier as if you JUST sent it? Is it just me or are there others who have a fix?
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
I have never reformatted the system dose it get rid off all the crap I had on the phone ? Meaning all the cached files from the roms I previously had or what dose a reformat do to the phone ? Thanks in advance you all rock.
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
It usually depends if your changing from different ROMs or staying with the same chef. When changing between different chefs Roms, its always best to do a wipe. Their thread will tell you such. If your staying with the same chef, you only need to wipe if they say so. Usually it will be noted in the release notes.

Good rule of thumb, if you are in doubt, use titanium backup and wipe.
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
OK thanks you so much
[HTC Sensation] arifafzan:
Fullwipe better.
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
How do you do a full wipe??
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
In recovery, wide data/cache/ then dalvik in advanced

Or u can grab the superwipe script from mikes Rom

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Why would you wipe dalvik after wiping /data? Dalvik is located in /data and will already have been wiped.
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
How do you do a full wipe like everything except the s d card I don't want it to have any remdrnts of anything is that what the Android revolution wipe would do.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
The wipe doesn't touch ur stuff on the SD card, it wipes what it needs to so don't worry

Thanks for infotmation.
[HTC Sensation] hishamzz:
Sorry for bumping an old thread but just to clarify on the wiping. In order to transition from lets say an Android Revolution HD ROM to one of InsertCoins I would have to wipe the data and cache via Recovery or else a simple execution of Mike's Superwipe script would suffice?

[HTC Sensation] stfu:
data and cache wipe recommendet before flashing new roms.

if u wont that there could be some know issue problems - so dont cry ;-)

maybe u should take an nandbackup before flash.
[HTC Sensation] flavor76:
tried wipe when i flashed 2 roms ... so far so good ...

no harm wiping ... and dun forget to backup before that :)
[LG Revolution] K0G:
I'll start with how I feel into the battery overheat issue.

Over the weekend I was playing around with the OTA update and rooting.

Steps performed

1. Performed full backup in CWM.

2. Started full restore with the vznpst, didn't notice but my battery was only at 30%.

3. Plugged phone back into charger and started download of the OTA update.

So this is when my phone started to heat up and my battery stopped charging (using AC charger)

After many reboots and pushing other ROM I still could not charge my phone.

So my fix was as follows.

1. Removed battery from phone.

2. Let phone and battery sit for about ten minutes, until both cooled down.

3. Placed battery back into phone, plugged in charger and let the battery charge in the pre-boot mode. The battery was able to charge fully.

4. When my phone reached full charge I then pushed the full restore tot again.

5. Used s1c to put root back, used Revotoolkit to replace recovery.

6. Restored the backup I created before I started this mess.

I have not had any issues after this with my battery over heating.

As a side thought, I wonder if this phone had two battery stats as I was unable to charge my phone running the OS but was able to charge in pre-boot.

Hope this helps others, I thought I had lost my phone completely but now i'm back on homeless and getting about 12-15 hours of use.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
Where can I download this DEV version? I have looked everywhere. Or is it perhaps only available to developers?

Wasn't sure whether or not I should ask, but I figured it's better to ask too much rather than not asking at all.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
if you want to test DEV versions of miniCM you need to ask nAa so that he can send you email with link; new features and so on

of course, DEV versions are expected not to be stable, buggy, laggy or anything else

your phone can also be bricked after that

so testing DEV versions is not risk free.

you are absolutely responsible of what you do to your device ;)

DEV versions are there to hunt bugs if any, so testing them isn't for only pleasure but also to help nAa in the development progress ;)

hope that answers is what you expected :)

it is absolutely not recommended to ask for link if you can't help in any way

no noobs, no spammers there, only real users, testers and dev that can contribute to the dev progress :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShifterX2:
I've been working on this for about a month on and off, but I really have to get this thing up and running soon, because I'm about to start traveling.

I got my Eris flashed to Cricket, 1/2 way anyway, and was without the modded telephony.db file, then, as I read through and attempted to fix it, somewhere along the line, I accidentally deleted my APN.

I've found a few zips by token419 that were supposed to fix it, and they were automated, but they just got my phone stuck in a bootloop. Are there any easy to follow instructions of how to fix this that someone can give? I've tried to follow the "definitive guide"to flashing to cricket, but I don't have enough technical skill to even read it, let alone apply it.

Any help would be amazing, as I believe that most of the fixes still posted are outdated.
[HTC EVO 3D] inco9nito99:
Hey guys, I had rooted my Evo3d a while ago using the revolutionary tool. Hboot 1.4, S-OFF and all was well. I have the stock ROM and nothing done other than rooting it. Everything was fine for approximately a month...yesterday a member showed me how to remove the software update icon by un-checking the box in menu>settings>updates>...etc. I did NOT update anything though.

Now, this morning I wake up after the phone being on the charger and the capacitive buttons are lit, but the phone screen is blank. I try powering/waking it up and NOTHING. I pull the battery a few times and restarted it a few times and again, NOTHING. I tried doing the power+lower volume key and I get into the root revolutionary menu, but from there I am lost. Can anybody help? I'd like to recover my system settings and my information/files on the phone.

It's killing me now as I cannot access my phone/files, esp mid-week :(.

Thanks all!
[HTC EVO 3D] inco9nito99:
BUMP, and ^^ thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] inco9nito99:
Anybody please? When hitting power+low volume key>recover, it shows up as revolutionary cwm (clockworkmod??).

ps im an iphone convert, i know nothing about kernals/roms/etc. I followed a how-to on how to root using revolutionary, my andorid prowess ends there.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronnienyc:
Was it unplugged when you pulled the battery?

Try removing the memory card, unplug, and pull battery. Then try to boot it.

Otherwise, I have no idea what you need to do. Other than a reset using the recovery...but that will erase your data.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikedavis120:
Battery pull 30 seconds

Place battery back in device

Hold vol down and power hold till bootloader starts.

Use vol down scroll to recovery and hit power.

Let recovery boot.

Scroll to clear cache and hit power.

Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.

When its done scroll to advanced and the wipe dalvik cache and hit power.

Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.

Go back to main recover screen and choose reboot system.

Good luck

[XPERIA X8 Accessories] andrewsykes1170:
hi

i have 2 sony ericsson xperia x8

both with CM 7

dxgingerbread v13 by doixanh

i use one as a house phone and the other goes in my pocket as a second phone as i just changed numbers and my first phone is samsung galaxy s2.

so these two phones came with the new plan for my wifes company both about 2.5 month out of the box with close serial numbers.

both are configured to as listed

performance: ondemand

wifi off

data connection off

i have studied the phones since i got them

so heres some data for you

result in home pocket

min battery life 3 days 1 day

max battery life over 5 days 2 days

i found the difference between the two odd as both were not touched or used but i found the difference to be that when i walk the home button gets pressed and turns the unlock screen on briefly not even enough to register on the graph.

but if it is placed badly in my pocket the battery goes really quickly a big drop off on the graph.

the first time i ran the test on the stay at home phone got 6 days out of it not bad at all the next time it got 2.5 days i was shocked the only thing i had done was sync the calender and contacts between the phone and the computer while on charge.

so why the difference.

well it was adversely affected by being woken up. and i have to say i only looked at the battery one a day in the morning it was not me.

so what was waking it up for long period. it was the notification bar.

first of all it was the calender reminders. after disabling all was tranquil again.

then there was one missed call that i didn't see for two day this had the the phone waking up all the time and by checking the time of call to the graph you can easily see the relation.

so i tried it again charged the called it and left it without interaction 2 day flat battery i could not turn it back on. then charged it and left without being called 5 day interesting. note there is that little light that flashes on the front.

next thing was i got a sms from the network same thing kills the battery.

so then i started checking it as often as possible and clearing any notifications.

if you clear it straight away battery life stays the max if you leave ny notification a couple of hours the battery is discharging at an alarming rate.

so what really kills the battery of the X8.

i concluded 2 things the home button being pressed in the pocket and notifications that are left uncleared.

i have to say this also affects my samsung galaxy s2 for thehome button and the notifications if sync is turned of and the 3g is left on i can get 2 days with little use of the internet for emails ect. let it do as it likes and not cancel the notification can be 13 to flat.

hope this helps someone else.

thanks andrew
[XPERIA X8 Accessories] Asycid:
I think it's not because the notification but the LED itself uses a lot energy (phone must be in awaken mode to flash the LED light). So, I think if you disable the LED, it will be much more better.
[XPERIA X8 Accessories] ivanjkd:
Led can be a fuel burner, especially this one we have on our phone, with the option of colour change. The basic principle of changing the color is to change the voltage that goes in to the LED. And even the display, when it is lit up, it consumes lot's of energy, especially if you are on Max brightness.
[XPERIA X8 Accessories] andrewsykes1170:
I did the same test with the led turn off with the only notification in the status bar and the battery is affected in the same way. could some else try this to confirm the results.

it is the way the operating system handles the messages. here are pictures of best 7 days and worst cases.

but the home button is a real battery drain when the phone is in my pocket it is always turning the screen on when i walk. ive got to say the button on the iphone is a lot better designed.

If i don't touch my phone the stock rom gives me years of battery, even with any LED notification it stands for some days.
