This means that the API to the radio hardware couldnt be opened. The new version wont help, its a generic problem. Possibly FMS.dll or more are missing. Sorry i'm not deep into that, maybe flywhc could help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
not yet, it's on the todo - see first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1911mp:
Great app. Thank you for your effort.

Is it possible, in an upcoming release, to include an option to change the tuning resolution from the default of 100kHz to 50kHz?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akp99:
Interesting... the standard FM Radio panel that comes with the Xperia does not have this issue but using the HTC radio/Power Radio, I get this issue.

Xperia Radio uses XperiaRadio.dll.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Not sure if that's supported by the radio chip. I'll give it a try.

FM Radio apps that come with the devices use dll's which are not documented. Flywhc built a set of API's which are documented. Without that it wouldnt even be possible to write a FM radio app - except for the manufacturers of course.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sandervanzijl:
just installed your radio.

i can not press the menu button. nothing happens when i do. sometimes i get a white border.

a long press on the menu button works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lucarp78:
Hi, very nice app.

When I do a first scan, it stops when all preset are stored, and every time stop at 100.0 and restart from initial frequency, 87.5, so can't scan from 100 to 108 in auto scan mode, only manual.

It's possible after I've locked some preset and cleared others, restart the scan from frequency I'm listening? So, I'll have a full band scan and can store other station in free preset?

Sorry for my english.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NetRipper:
That's also how the menu button works. It doesn't respond to single presses, only to long presses. I agree it's not that intuitive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akp99:
Font implementation not working on NRG's Xperia ROM - on previous version it would not load on first load of app but would be there on subsequent loads (but with previous bug). Now doesn't load at all.

Would prefer short press on menu button.

Also a finger friendly way to rearrange the stations found on range scan would be awesome :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paalkr:
Hi!

I have tried the APItest and the FMGetProp(VOLUME) and FMSetProp(VOLUME) does seem to work correctly. Is the APItest supposed to produce any sound? It does not on my device, but the values displayed seems correct, and the system volume is changing when I send new volume values with the API. If I changes the system value with the volume "rocker-switch" on the device, the API reads out the new values correctly.

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NetRipper:
I needed to set audiopath to 0 or 1 (for speaker/headset) before any audio came out. You'll also need to seek at least once to get sound going.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
@6Fg8

Another bug:

The scan stops after filling the 3 first banks. You said there's up to 9 banks now, but I cannot have the forth... I think it's the same problem as lucarp78
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
ah right ... forgot to write a note about that.

Please edit PowerRadio.ini, there's a line reading "NumberOfBanks=3" at the end of the file. Change the value, restart PowerRadio and you should be fine.

BTW how many stations are you able to receive? I'm feeling lucky to get around 15. But seems you guys get a hundred of them ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
I have around 55 stations when I make a full scan :D, but there are some duplicate stations broadcasting on 2 separated frequencies, or the same station on a frequency right next to the first one but with statics. In the last case it's a scan sensitivity problem, I think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akp99:
Would it be possible to implement logic that if a station has the same RDS name then it either ignores the station or, if signal is stronger, replaces the original found?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Theoretically yes, that should be possible. Practically speaking, it wouldnt be very reliable. The weaker the station the better the chance to get RDS errors or no RDS data at all, which renders compare attempts useless.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akp99:
Ah yes you're probably right. I had three instances of duplicated stations. 2 had identical names (BBC Radio 1), the other came up as BBC RadioP :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
wow, thats a lot.

BTW did the bugfix help during scan?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
Yes, thank you, it worked like a charm! Will we have in the future versions to manually edit the number of banks, or will it be automatic?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Hm, automatic works fine for a scan, but not for storing presets manually. Out of ideas at the moment, i'll leave it as it is for now. I could create a menu for that eventually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Exactly, that's what i thought. There's a feature which could do a better job for this, the alternative frequency's list which also comes with RDS, but thats not implemented at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I found a datasheet and it states that the resolution supported by the chip is indeed 50 KHz. Still dont know if there's a driver layer which stops me from doing that.

What i asked myself though is, how should i test this? And whats the use of it, besides the "because we can" approach?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
- on first start PowerRadio ask for a scan. If we say yes, then it starts scanning then stop when the third bank is full even if there is more to store.

- you tell us that we can fix that by manually editing numberofbanks in powerradio.ini. This worked like a charm. After that I could run a full scan from 87.5 to 108MHz and have all found frequencies stored in presets from bank 1 to 4.

Now you say "automatic works fine for a scan". For me it's clearly not! Or I wasn't clear enough :D

In my last post I was saying that editing the number of banks manually help me have more than 3 banks during the first scan. And I wanted to know if in the future version we will have to do this (manually) or PowerRadio will automatically increase the number of banks when it reaches the last position of the third bank... The bugfix in v1.2.0.1 was only for the exception error during the scan.

Possible idea: initial value of numberofbanks=1. While 108MHz is not reached during the scan, add a bank if more space is needed. And add an option in the menu to manually edit numberofbanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
:) sorry haven't been clear enough on that. Automatic *would* work fine for scan ... if i would have already implemented that, which i havent :D Exactly as you described it, it would need to add another bank when out of empty presets during a scan. Ok thats not difficult.

When storing presets manually, we need a way to tell PowerRadio that we need more presets, which means setting the number of banks manually. And if you want to reduce them its also necessary to do it manually.

I think we got it together now, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] L_o_k_i:
yeah, we got it! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I made some notes while playing with APItest 1.5B, so you can compare if it really works:

set system volume manually to full

make sure earpiece is plugged in

- start APItest

- click PowerOn

it should immediately tune a station and play

verify that frequency is known and, if it has RDS, the RDS count increases continuosly

If it wont play, you can try these steps:

- select "AUDIOPATH" from dropdown, enter "1" in the field beneath "Set Prop", and click "Set Prop" (0=speaker, 1=earpiece)

- select "VOLUME" from dropdown, enter "100" in the field beneath "Set Prop", and click "Set Prop"

- select "MUTE" from dropdown, enter "0" in the field beneath "Set Prop", and click "Set Prop" (0=not mute, 1=mute)

I remember having troubles on blackstone initially, flywhc changed some code in GFMAPI to make it work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
You could try to copy DS-DIGIB.TTF from \Program Files\Power Radio to \Windows\Fonts. It should work without reboot, if not try rebooting. This could lead to the effect that font on taskmanager and other TF3D texts is changed, like in the previous version. Font management in WinMo is still a little mistery to me.

Gestures would be great, unfortunately there's no OS support in WinMo 6.1 The upcoming 6.5 has gesture support, will sure give that a try later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1911mp:
Hello 6Gg8, Thank you for checking into this. I can help testing it then report back the results. There is a practical reason for having this feature. Locally, on the FM band, there are stations that require the 50kHz tuning resolution to listen to. If it is not too much effort, I'll appreciate it if you can implement this 50kHz tuning resolution option in a future release.

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Hm, questions all over .... where in the world are stations on a 50 kHz grid? Anyway, just curios :D

Here's a special brew which allows 50 kHz frequency step. It feels like it does something, but i'm not 100% sure. BTW what happens during seek? Does it stop at a 50 kHz boundary? Seems i cant control that. That's the .exe only, copy it over to \Program Files\PowerRadio.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1911mp:
Thank you for your quick reply. I am in Thailand. Main stream stations are on the 100kHz grid but local (with lower power) stations are on the 50kHz grid. I enjoy listening to programs from these stations which are not available on the main stream airwave.

I just copied the exe file into the \Program Files\PowerRadio directory and ran it. The app did not start but, instead, I got the following error:

PowerRadio.exe

InvalidOperationException

Message text unavailable. Resource file 'Microsoft.VisualBasic resources' not found.

at

PowerRadio.My.Myproject.MyForms.Create__Instance__[T](PowerRadio Instance)

at

PowerRadio.My.Myproject.MyForms.get_PowerRadio()

at PowerRadio.PowerRadio.Main()

Any help you can provide will be appreciated. BTW, I installed the app in the Storgae Card memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
You did overwrite the original PowerRadio.exe, didnt you? It's meant to replace the one which comes with the cab. So if you installed on storage card, you should copy it there then. You may want to make a backup copy of the original .exe before overwriting though.

Thanks for clarification regarding the 50 kHz, thats very interesting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GoPlay:
Great app. That was what i was looking for!

The Menu button doesn't work on my Touch Diamont with the latest firmware from www.htc.com, but everything esle i OK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingil:
Did you try pressing and holding menu button
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GoPlay:
That was the key of using this menu. Now everything is OK

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onesolo:
hmm??!?!

I have the same error as the above user.

Can you explain step by step how to fix this error??

I had the first version running with no problem, installed on storage card. I installed the new version over the old. Got the error.

I already uninstall it and install it again but no use.

You say that one needs to have the first version??? How come? what about new users, they probably have the same error without ever installing the first version.

Fix it please!!!

This is not very user friendly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1911mp:
I did exactly what you described above and got the error messages shown previously. I copied back the original PowerRadio.exe file then ran it. It worked again. There seems to be something missing somewhere when I tried to run the new executable. Do I need any additional VB DLL for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I'll send you a testversion via PM later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1911mp:
Ok, thanks. Please note that my e-mail address was just updated. Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause. Please resend the info if you already sent it.

Hello,

I have TP2. I used it to listen radio (CAB from XDA). GFMapi works with Rhodium, but when i run Poweradio i have msg: "failed to open FM radio hardware"

Can someone help with this issue?
[Touch Cruise General] mmichalak007:
Hello All,

today I used my phone for a regular phone call, went back to my desk, put it down, a couple of hours later, I hear the sms ringtone, pressed the 'wake up' button on the top, (the screen had gone blank as usual), and.... disaster, I see a long crack on the screen...

I suppose the phone is still under warranty (1.5years), but I do not know if it covers the LCD screen... It's quite insane, it was not in my pocket, it was not dropped, no liquids were spilled on it... Literally, used for a phonecall, put it down and then next time I use it has a crack is on it!!! :mad::(

Did anyone have any similar experience in the past? Do you think it is covered by warranty? If not, does anyone have any idea what it costs to get it fixed? (I had bought it from devicewire, uk)....

Thanks,

MM
[Touch Cruise General] Reuvenm:
What's the options?!

You need the screen replaced as soon, as (with my experience) the crack will outgrow the whole screen and soon you won't be able to use it.

Take it to the dealer as soon and as small the crack is, and suggest it was a manufacturer stress in the factory assembly that has started a hidden crack that grew up.
[Touch Cruise General] x86:
If you have the UK model (same as me) (Orbit 2 Xda branded) they are very very hard to find parts as they are mostly made for the HTC branded phone (silver original one).

So if you find a replacement online pls let me know, i need the touchscreen, not lcd but same diff!

P.S your warranty should only be for 12mths, well atleast mine are, and everything is covered usually, so just ask your outlt... if not, find a part online and repair, i would be happy 2 help with guiding through repairs if needed.

good luck, keep us informed.
[Touch Cruise General] dprocha:
I had the same problem. The phone was in my jacket´s pocket and when I was putting the jacket on the back of a chair it slightly hit the wall, for which I didn´t even worry. When later I picked up the phone the lcd was cracked. I have had the phone falling to floor without any problem a long time ago, and ironically it broke with a little hit.

I am sending it to fix, but I know I cant avoid paying for the repair.
[Touch Cruise General] mmichalak007:
Hello All,

thanks for your replies. My HTC is now at the HTC Service... I was told that the warranty does not cover the screen, so we will see how much it costs. The person at the HTC support line told me that the screen would cost around £60 and if it was the case that the mainboard has a problem, it will be more. Additionally, running the diagnostics on the first place will cost £15. It kind of makes me wonder what on earth that warranty covers for. I was under the impression that the phone is still under warranty and their attitude in claiming that this is not covered under by warranty shows the same thing.

Their quality of the service is probably average. I only received an email with the ticket number from them when I phoned them for a second time telling them that tehy had not send me any emails yet. I know they received the phone on the 7th of July, since I received an automated email from them, however, I have not heard anything from them since then, and I will need to phone them again. I have also input the ticket number and my email in their web page, but have not received any updates...

I decided to fix the phone, unless they come up with a stupid cost; the phone is lees than 2 years old and has served me well: I have used messenger while in airports and watched many movies while travelling. On a side note, I kind of have mixed feelings about HTC now. :confused: On one hand, HTC is very innovative, on the other hand the fact they release new phones so quickly kind of upsets me. I also think that nokia for example puts a lot more research and QC into their phones. The final thing I am not very fond of on this phone is that it's finger-unfriendly (no, I am not buying an iPhone...).

Even so, I have decided to fix it (subject to the repair quote), and keep it a couple of years more...

I will keep you posted about the final price....
[Touch Cruise General] x86:
I just replaced my Screen myself tonight, I also fixed a few things inside the device which were getting loose, just as the keys. I put some foam in the case where the keys are and now they are nice and tight.

The device is built better now than it was when i purchased it, plus it has a brand new screen now too. Cost: $1.00 Shipping to AU + $8.87 (USD$)

Tools are mine, they costed me $7 and got some free with screen.

HTC Repair... hell nah!
[Touch Cruise General] mmichalak007:
Hello All,

I know this is an old thread, but believe it or not, I only managed to get my phone back yesterday...

The phone as predicted costed around £60 pounds to fix (including postage). UPS then tried to deliver it to the address I gave to them. Unfortunately, it happened I was not there, so they left me a card. Using the number on the card, I arranged the delivery address to be changed. This happened on the 22n of July.

Unfortunately, the phone went missing and then my long adventure started... UPS asked me to phone HTC, HTC's reply was (I quote): 'Why did you change the delivery address, you would not have a problem now'. Their attitude was mostly unhelpful and they insisted that now (I quote again): 'It's now between you and UPS, why should we contact UPS?'

My understanding is that UPS in these cases asks the SENDER to raise a trace request and that they charge the SENDER for this, which is why a lot of merchandisers are unwilling to put a 'trace request' . Finally, after lots of phonecalls, UPS raised a trace request by itself.

It would take lots of pages to describe here the conversations I had with both UPS and HTC, each one blaming each other, until around mid-September where UPS said that they sent a claim to the SENDER, and it is now upon the sender to act.... Needless to say HTC continued arguing they have not received anything...

Finally, someone found that claim and sent me a replacement phone. The replacement seems new, though I guess, it might as well have been a refurbished phone. I also got a stylus with it and a battery cover, but no battery of course, (I had removed all these prior to sending the phone back).

Now here comes the amazing bit:

This time they used CityLink to send the package and HTC had forgotten to put my name on the package; they only put the delivery address. Amazingly, the package ended up in the company I work for, but in a different building near the one that was supposed to be delivered. Someone from my company called me and asked me if I am expecting a package from HTC, and that I can pop down the street to collect it from them....

Anyway, I have my phone now, it's ok... But I would avoid any interaction with HTC UK in the future.... I think I will also avoid HTC altogether in the guture, but that's a different issue altogether :)

Thanks everyone who posted in this thread (knowing that this would cost a few bucks to fix does not make it any better, but anyway :D)
[Touch Cruise General] Space Hulk:
just for next time

in my clumsiness i closed a car door on my cell which broke the LCD

after a short search over the net i found the tools needed (small screwdrivers and some plastic screwdrivers) and the LCD.

found the LCD at Ebay and the screwdrivers at dealExtreame

in really cheap all together cost me something like 140 US dollars

the change was quite simple as there are many youtube videos on how to open our cell.

so after like ah hour all was done and good to go.

hope it will help someone

if anyone need the ebay dealer just ping me (not related someone from china :) )

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
Hi guys.

I have a vodafone magic with spl 1.33.2005 with 32B board. I have rooted it with haykuro's stuff. I pushed an app (com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk and it's odex) from the new Hero rom posted today. I put the apk and odex in data/app (Or something, where all apps are). and then rebooted my phone. Now it keeps showing the android logo and it won't fully boot.

I can enter fastboot but I'm not sure if I have an update.zip on my SD card and I do not have a reader...

what should I do? Wipe (if so how)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
If it was me I would wipe and then run the update.zip; and if needed I would then fastboot my boot.img. There might be an easier way, but I am a noob.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
Thanks for your reply. How do we wipe a magic... I read about G1, but it uses hardware keys. And do i need to update.zip on my SD card? And which boot.img and update.zip should I use? The one from the tutorial I used to root my Magic?

I don't care at all if it erases everything on my phone, I want it back to work :(

Thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
1) Download the recovery image: http://rapidshare.com/files/248983573/recovery-RAv1.0H.img

2) Hold the back and end key at the same time - this will take you into fastboot mode.

3) On your computer enter: fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

4) Now wipe the phone and run the update.zip

5) Reboot. If the phone hangs you will have to fastboot your backup boot.img: fastboot boot boot.img

Hope this helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
Where is the boot.img? Is it in the phone by default? and HOW d I whipe, which keys, command lines whatever...

thanks again :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Oh, you didn't back-up your ROM? Hmmm, I really don't want to suggest anything to you know as I am scared that you might brick your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
No i didn't... I have no idea how... Can I use a boot.img from an other rom? I don't care which rom gets on now as long as my phone will work :( smartphone france maybe?

or maybe I can still get this boot.img from my phone with adb pull? or flash an entire new rom...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] axum:
Hi,

I'm looking for a program (cab) for my Touch HD that does do the following:

- during office-hours (08.30 tot 17.30) I want my calls being forwarded to my office, so my secretary can answer the phone there instead of calls being forwarded to my voicemail.

- during the weekend and evenings (non office-hours) I want calls being forwarded to my voicemail (when I don't answer the call of course).

Does such a program exist? If not, is someone eager to produce it?

Thanks!

:D

Axum
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Robert A:
I am sure that exist but don't know the name. Try some auto profile search on google.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Vanstra:
Why do you want a phone anyway ? ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] axum:
Vanstra,

I want this program to work when I am not able to answer calls, just like you probably use your voicemail as well :)

Of course, when I am able to answer my phone, I will.....
