Want FM ? Very simple solution: Buy one of the many BT headsets Sony sells with FM included. No wired headset antenna needed (LOL !) and you can get phone audio via BT with no wires. MW600, MW1 or one of the newer ones.

Or keep an eye open for a smartwatch with FM. I am, but nothing confirmed in the 2013 generation of SWs. Some of them are actual phones on your wrist, by God, so you'd think somebody would enable the FM side of the combo chip. If their name isn't Google or Motorola or sold by Verizon...

But feel free to try the app.

I'm pretty sure it will encounter the same error as my app, maybe even with static, but you never know until you try.

No problem man! Maybe someday someone will find a way to make FM work on the HTC One. :)

lol ..

i want to spend some time tinkering around with this but im not familiar with the fm radio api in linux (if there even is such a thing) .. i know its a generic request , but do you think you could point me in the right direction? does it use a kernel module? what are some of the sysctl vars? any devices i should peek at? any docs u could refer me to? any light u could shed would probably get me going faster as u have done loads of dev on this already :) or u can just ignore/flame me and wish me well, or not :p

thanks

Welcome young wanderer. :)

Hmm, where to start ?

How about you check post #1 of my XDA Spirit FM thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

That thread is the largest collection of information about OTA FM radio on Android that you'll find in one "place" anywhere on the web. IMNSHO.

Follow the links to whatever seems interesting/useful to you. There are over 6700 posts in my thread, and I guarantee you at least 10-20% of the posts deal with technical aspects of the mostly secret and undocumented world of reverse engineered FM stuff.

IMO, except for next weeks news, which can never be predicted, just about every question about FM on Android is answered there, you just got to figure out how to search the thread, here on XDA, or via

Google or whatever search engine works for you.

Me I've spent "way too much time" answering mostly the same questions over and over again the last 2.6 years. So I'm taking a much needed break from that for a while, and letting some questions slide by unanswered.

(I always kinda hated when some ROM or app devs rarely bother to help people in threads; especially when they say READ THE FAQ, and the darn FAQ doesn't answer the question. But everyone has got their own tolerance for "users".)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DKSE:
Sorry to revive a dead thread but I was wondering would if be possible to buy a 'for parts' Sprint or other carrier HTC One from eBay and remove its 'caps/coils' and implant them into the Verizon One? Or in the scenario the antenna pin is grounded, how would one go about ungrounding it? Or the other scenario I'm seeing is firmware flag, could that be reversed?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mikereidis:
Forget about it.

Nobody has EVER hardware re-enabled FM when originally hardware disabled by grounding the FM antenna pin. And I doubt anyone will.

It would require thousands of dollars of equipment, and the time and skill to use them.

Much easier to buy a new phone.

The new M8 HTC One by Verizon seems to have left the FM antenna circuitry enabled...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] syphix:
If they have, then they still block all FM radio apps. I've seen no success stories in getting it to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
I have the m8 and spirit2 does work, but it sounds like im underwater .. hopefully the dev will fix that soon .. i never got it working on my m7 :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
And just what makes it "seem" so???
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
It is true .. My M8 is getting a signal, it just sounds really bad
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Question then for you,

Why would Verizon disable the radio at a hardware level anyway?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
Defiine "a signal".

Does "really bad" mean you're getting the typical white noise when tuned to a frequency between any good FM signals?

I've installed various FM apk binaries on my m7vzw. They're happy to "run", but all I hear is noise, meaning they're not getting a signal, and lord knows the FM band here in NYC is replete with signals.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
I can hear the station, but it sounds bad .. I can make out what theyre saying .. Its like im underwater

I just pushed the stock fm radio app from a non-vzw m8 to my system partition .. it works! real fm on verizon! HA!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
I have no possible way to know why Verizon takes any decisions, nor does anyone else not employed there.

I share an opinion widely espoused in the blogosphere or on the internet: Verizon would like you to listen to your FM stations by using a third-party App (e.g. TuneIn Radio) which will use up some of your data allotment from Verizon, rather than the HTC FM app which incurs no such charges, since it just uses your earphone cord as an antenna to bring in FM broadcasts.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mikereidis:
Copied from my thread:

Email me mikereidis@gmail.com to try Spirit1. It might work better in the default analog mode. For Spirit2/Spirit1 digital mode, buffersize may need to be tuned, and that can be done with a Spirit1 setting.

As for US carriers disabling FM on higher end devices, Yes, they've been doing that for years. And cheap devices get FM. See the pattern ? Data plan revenues. And Google is complicit, as well as Apple and others. Sprint has a $15 million+ ransom deal to enable FM, OTOH.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] stupifiery:
I was looking into purchasing a Verizon m8. Kind of side grading from my note 3. After playing with an m8 at the local AT&T store and playing with the FM tuner function I knew this was the phone for me. I try to limit my data usage and often go in the wilderness where there isn't good service anyways from a cellular perspective. But after finding out there was for certain no easy way to enable the FM radio function on the Verizon version I changed my mind. Thanks for this thread. I actually filed an FCC complaint against Verizon and I highly recommend anyone else who feels strongly that we are being taken advantage of by make telecoms to do the same I did it in under two minutes ask from my phone. Hopefully they'll take that seriously and the m9 or whatever is next won't be crippled. Love the hardware and software. Bummed on Verizon bullying HTC and others.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
Just install the stock fm radio app from another m8 .. it works fine for mine on Verizon
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mikereidis:
Yeah, I don't know why VZN let the M8 out with FM intact, LOL. They almost consistently kill it in hardware in flagships at least.

They could remove the ability to run the stock FM app in a future update. But they can't break the hardware (too easily), and my apps will run if rooted.

I just got a One M8 myself the other day and have related fixes in latest test releases of Spirit. But root is required w/ Spirit, unlike the system signed stock app that works w/out root.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] stupifiery:
Well now I just feel silly. Thanks very much!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oops_iv:
Ya, I had the m7 and struggled with it just to find that they had hardware disabled fm .. I still use spirit over stock but not everyone has the luxury of root :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conz:
I got my hands on the zerolemon 7500mah battery for my S4 about a month and a half ago and it is amazing.

With normal use (multiple e-mail push accounts, location tracking, wi-fi enabled etc) I get about 15% battery drop a day.

After a full charge, battery apps tell me "17-20 hours available."

Somehow the battery logic for android phones seems a bit off, it seems to be more a guestimate towards the current power use then the actual recorded battery run time.

Is there anything that can actually profile a battery ? Record the power use and battery voltage levels and give a more accurate picture over time ?

I *thought* android actually did this but apparently not, or its been because I'm only on my 4th charge since getting the battery but i'd like some confirmation if that's the case :)

I love this battery, this kind of battery life should be standard, only Android can't really deal with it properly yet .. the 15% battery alarm especially can be a pain: 'what do you mean battery low, its at 15% that's a full 24 hours!' and it still puts the phone in power saving mode.

"AE Button Plus for HTC Himalaya/Andes/Alpine/Magician" extends functionality of hardware keys on HTC Himalaya/Andes/Magician platforms. It allows you

- remap each standard hardware button to 2 or 3 "virtual", simulated via double or triple clicks;

- use volume slider to simulate Up/Down direction keys or create additional "virtual" hardware buttons;

- remap Red and Green phone buttons to 1,2 or 3 hardware buttons each.

As a result you may define up to 15 hardware buttons (system limit)

List of Compatible devices (See HTC Platforms)

- HTC Himalaya/Andes: O2 XDA II, I-Mate PocketPC, T-Mobile MDA II, QTek 2020

- HTC Alpine: O2 XDA2 IIi, I-Mate PDA2 (Not PDA2k), QTek 2020i

- HTC Magician: O2 XDA mini, I-Mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, QTek S100

- There are reports of successful use on E-Ten M500 device

DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLICATION ON THE INCOMPATIBLE DEVICES!!!

- This may hide or incorrectly redefine hardware buttons until hard reset!

- But you may still try to use this utiliy on any PDA with 4 buttons normaly available in Start - Settings - Buttons. Please make full device backup before experiment.

This is great, the only thing I can't work out is how to change the initial settings i.e. how many logical buttons each physical is mapped to, except at install.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] CraF:
Just reinstall app. I put CAB file to my SD and mark as Read-Only. And if need change initial settings, just reinstall app.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mtbsoft:
Yeah, that's what I've done too, it's more of an minor annoyance than anything. The other things I've noticed is that it puts an invisible icon in the task bar and can't handle the Pocket Plus 3 (Alt-F4) and (Alt-Tab) settings - you can assign them to the extended buttons but they aren't retained because they're not shortcuts and don't get stored in the registry.

Again, these are just minor niggles, it's still damned useful, I'm up to 12 button assignments already, going to be running out soon!

Hi all,

so in the past couple of weeks my BroadBand has pretty much failed, I live on the edge of being able to get it. At 768kps and with 4g just round the corner, I'm thinking is it worth revisiting mobile BB in my area. This week I recieved my Three.co.uk SIM for testing viability as I know thier data plans are better than most. My normal Tariff is from o2 and has a 4GB limit, the speed i currently get on it is under 5Mbs, on Three however I got 8Mbs to 10Mbs+.

I am woundering though, as I know tethering is normally not permited unless to buy a addon with Three; would running a VPN on the computer negate this and allow someone to tether?

Thoughts on this are welcome.
[General Questions and Answers] tdrinker:
I have bought a i9305t with a broken screen through a private sale. After connecting it to a working screen, I discover a few strange problems:

1. I can't get the phone into download mode or recovery mode by the normal key combinations. So I can't do any factory reset.

2. The phone can power up, but it stops at a log in screen requesting a pin input, although when I asked the previous owner about it, he said he never had set up any locking pins.

3. In that pin-entering mode, when I connect the phone to my PC (windows 7), the PC recognise the connection and displayed a i9305t in windows explorer, but the explorer can't show any content details of the phone. When I run the Odin with the phone in this mode, the COM window changes colour, but any attempts to flash any tar file stops at 'SetupConnection..' step, and after a while, it comes back with a 'FAIL!'.

4. I have a usb jig, and with that, I can force the phone in download mode. However, when the phone is in that mode, Odin doesn't recognise the connection at all when I plug the phone in, so I can't do any flashing in that mode.

So I am totally stuck! I thought about going through ALL the pin combinations to try to unlock the phone (assuming the pin is a 4 digit number). After spending one and a half hours to go from '0000' to '0500', I thought this is rediculous! There must be a better way! So I hope some guru out there would be able to help me, as I have exhausted all my tricks (which is not that many!).

If anyone can show me a way to get around my problems, it would be most appreciated!!!

Missing IMEI

----------

Problems solved! Well, most of them anyway. I found I got the wrong usb driver on my PC. After updating with the correct Samsung usb driver, I could connect to Odin, thus I could flash a CWM recovery rom, so I could do a factory reset.

However, after the phone has booted up, for some reason, I found the IMEI is missing, so I couldn't connect to any network when I insert my sim card. I don't know how that happened. Can anyone help me with that? Many thanks.

Can't say I've ever had that. But you know what, we don't know what ROM you're using, what apps you've installed, what you were doing in the message thread to activate 'sim tools', or anything. In saying that, the reason Superuser prompts you for access is so you can deny access. If you don't know what it is/what it wants root access for/what caused it to ask for root access, deny the request.

Oh that's the superuser app made by Koush. Don't worry it's totally reliable although i prefer SuperSU by Chainfire ;)

As far as what is asking superuser access i don't know. Can you translate what app is wanting superuser access?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brahktor:
The app that is wanting the superuser access is called "SIM Tools", maybe it is linked somehow with my SIM card?
