FMS_API.dll

Hello,

Sorry because I do not read all the threads. In my HTC Mega it doesn't work. The mesage is FMS_API.dll not found. SPB with sense interface stop working also the original FM radio. Where is a problem? SPB(latest with sense) or is the phone?

Thanks for your advice
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
No need to read the whole thread, but its always a good idea to read at least the first few posts, and follow the links that say "must read" in big fat letters :p

Long story short: HTC Mega is not currently supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
new version ...

available. As always, see first post for download link or use AppToDate to update directly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vita56:
new version ...

Very nice. The "old" signal sensitivity and strenght is back. :) It is fully working on my HD. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your GREAT program........i have a few questions:

1. When updating to a new version do i have to first uninstall the previous version, if not is the ini Cofiguration file kept intact or do i have to re-install all the stations?

2. Is the Headset Button Configuration kept or do i have to set it up again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nwadham@wanadoo.es:
Really nice as I posted when I just installed the application some versions ago...

Problem: when I take my htc Diamond for a walk with Powerradio already turned on and the first preset chosen, my headphone programmed with the double click for next preset and long click for forward seek, it all seems to work ok.

But after a short period of time when I try the double click, all it does is stick in the same preset. It does seem to jump (a small click can be heard) but it lands in the same preset I was listening to before.

If I use the long press, it seems to reach the last frequency (MHZ available) and if I long press again, it seems to go all the way to the same last frequency... very strange.

The thing is that when I test this at home it seems to work pretty well. It's when I start taking my long walk when it all goes wrong, and it's very frustating.

My Diamond is programmed to go in stand by after 5 min. It does shut the screen off and gets locked by the SmartLock utility http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506959, could this cause problems to your program?

My HTC: Touch Diamond, Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, Build 23069.5.3.0, Cooked ROM "Touch Su RC2 ESN", Radio 1.15.25.14, Protocol version 52.66.25.35U, Raphael rilphone.dll 1.14.25.35.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Yes I installed it its fine now. However plz work on landscape mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
There might be an issue with power saving mode. I'll try to reproduce it.

great :)

PowerRadio.ini will not be touched, so you're safe :) Anyway, having a backup copy wouldnt hurt :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
have to hack raw RDS on HD2 first :D

after that ... maybe ... no promise made. UI design is *really* boring.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Thanks for ur work. I was speaking of the Touch Pro 2 GSM. Its 480x800 isnt supported in landscape. Also if u can get RDS on the HTC HD2 then is it possible to get on the Touch Pro 2 GSM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asoik:
Can this app work on devices other than HTC? On Eten I`ve got "cant open GFMAPI" but there native app that does work. It use FM.dll (Glofiish x500+)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NetRipper:
Yes this app can work. However, someone must write the GFMAPI.dll wrapper for your device. Check this thread for the details.

The GFMAPI is an abstracted way to access the FM hardware. When someone makes the GFMAPI for your devices, then all applications that use the GFMAPI will work on your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] halloj:
First, this is a FM radio i.e frequency modulation

Second, aviation radio is AM, amplitude modulation and they are not

compatible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] katoaristera:
I love you

Dear sister & miss,

you just made the application I was waiting for :-)

Looking forward announced improvement,

KISSES
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sylvios:
Wonderfull application.

The record function would be very welcome
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Right, but that doesnt mean it's impossible to receive AM with a FM receiver. Unfortunately we cant tune the frequency, thats the real showstopper.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DomZ:
This is really a great application !

Contrary to the default HTC application, preset are saved in a file it's very easy to backup/restore.

Also, no need to have headset connected !

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] on4cet:
Tried this app too, and it looks great ...

To the future skinmakers, I would like to see a nice GUI, with as much as possible information on it ... wide scroll bars etc... But the preset buttons etc..., i would like them to be hidden with one presets button to show a gui window with all the presets ... This preset screen might show all over the info (main) gui ... and dissapear again after choosing a station ...

For the tmc and other indicators I would like to see a led, which become bright if the function is on, or when such information is received

But most important would be, that all the information is shown on 1 nice gui screen with only a few basic buttons on it, but not all the preset buttons, that's such a waste of space, leaving not enough room for the valuable information ...

Just my 2 cents, but lovin' the app !

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] halloj:
Oh that's great, when did you invent that feature, to listen to AM on a FM radio?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Buy a scanner and try it.

If you dont want to spend the money, build your own ATC receiver: http://www.videojug.com/webvideo/how-to-make-your-own-aircraft-band-receiver
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] halloj:
That's a different thing. A scanner has different radio circuits for different

modulation types, hence you can listen different types of transmitters on different frequencies. The appropriate tuner is selected as a function of your

frequency selection.

A PDA has only a FM receiver, hence you can only listen to FM modulated type of carrier.

Read this:

http://www.cybercollege.com/frtv/frtv017.htm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
You know, i have a degree in electronics. I know what you're talking about.

A good scanner is able to select demodulation independent of the tuned frequency/band, whith some limitations. If you dont believe me, i'll send you a link of mine.

And of course, i'm aware that a PDA is not a perfect receiver for AM, its simply not built for that. Audio reception is distorted. Sure. You named the reasons. But the answer to the question: can one receive ATC frequencies with a FM radio, listen to the voices, and understand spoken words, the answer is yes.

Everything said from my point of view.

Have a nice day.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Way too many expectations to the skinners. Skinning support will not allow for rearranging the GUI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JHimmelbauer:
Touché ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] halloj:
First, this is not electronics, this is radio, not the same thing. I hope you didn't work for Airbus!! Anyway, your line, it's simply not built for that, was my first comment thank you.

Over and out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] augie7107:
Very nice app but having issues with Xperia.

Installed fine, tried to run and was prompted with .net comapct framework error.

Sorted that with a ver3.5 cab upgrade.

Now when I exit the app, my device hard resets.

Any advice would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robertofusco:
scheduling

Very nice job.

Could you please publish your scheduling plans.

When will be released the next version?

Will you share source code?

Bye.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
There's no schedule actually, as i do this for fun. A new version is currently at beta testing, as soon as results are satisfying i will make it public.

Power Radio is and will be freeware, but i do not plan to publish source codes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
Great link... Starting my old-age (not age-old) hobby;-)

Thanks sweet daughter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] henny.van.beers:
I found in some other post also the statement that a haedphone was not required to receive an acceptable quality of radio signal. On my TOUCH HD still need the headset connect in order to receive any quality of signal. How do you do this ??????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Ok tried to reproduce this, but works fine. As i dont have a Diamond (at least not from HTC :)) i only can test on HD.

Can you verify if the device wakes up on a headsetbutton double/longtap, after it has been locked by smartlock? I guess it wont, that would explain why PowerRadio doesnt do anything. Do you use the smartlock version in the link (1.6)? Because there's a newer version with a lot more locking options to try. Maybe one of them helps resolving the issue. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505032
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Power Radio doesnt work in landscape, regardless what device.

RDS on HD2 isnt done yet, i'll try helping flywhc to get it done as i have that device. Sorry, dont know about TP2 (dont own one).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
Hi 6Fg8!

Thank you so much to keep updated your amazing tuning radio software!

I've installed it on my Blackstone (last HTC ROM but too modded to list here) and it runs and tune every radio station broadcasting here at Rome (Italy)!!

wOw

Nice One ;)

P.S. In the attachment my little 2cents with icons specifically fine tuned for received radio stations here at Rome
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JassyNL:
Very many thanks for this great piece of software. I'm using it almost daily and i like it!!

Just one small question, do you have planned a version of Powerradio that shows the RDS-PI information? This is very usefull when there is bad reception, then the RDS-PI is the first RDS-Parameter that is received on a FM-Signal.

This is a quote of a message of yours at Page 14:

Every Radiostation *must* send a RDS-PI Signal, the reason is that the RDS-PI is needed for RDS-AF switching. The PI of Hitradio OE3 is for example A203, for OE1 A201, ORF Salzburg A202 and FM4 A204. Every Radiostation transmitts a RDS-PI ID so this information is very very usefull!

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Its already there. See the line above frequency and stationname (provided you have the latest version installed). You'll find a generic RDS indicator which is on when a single RDS packet arrives, followed by progref, country, language (only shown when transmitted). Use extras/help and see items 21-24.

BTW the screenshots on first post aren't up2date, guess i'd better update them :)

EDIT: the progref displayed isnt really progref, its actually the whole PI (progref is the lower byte of PI).

EDIT2: just FYI: broadcasters are not obliged to have RDS, but in fact most of them do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Great you like it :) Thanks for the icons, i'll add them to the repository.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
^__^

Hi 6Fg8! :)

Using your default skin I have seen something that I don't understand: the behavior of the EON indicator color.

I'll try to explain you with these screenshots..

- With some radio stations it doesn't light on (in this case i presume that EON service is not broadcasted inside the RDS signal):

- With some other radio stations EON indicator light on with strong yellow color, like this one:

- In other few rare cases, the EON indicator light on in green color, like this:

now: can you explain the differences of these two color in the EON state, please? :confused:

Another important request (to me)..

In the next releases should be possible modify the skin layout in order to have a little button to tap for changing the bank presets? Now it's quite difficult change the page preset using finger.. :cool:

Last request:

i really appreciate your tool for making radio icons cab.. since I've done some graphic mod to dusk black glow skin i think it would be useful to have a tool to make a cab for the skins too (imho)

Regards and congratulations again for Your amazing software! ;)

Nice One Lady! :D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beowulf6:
Hi. i just updated and testet the new Version 2.2.3.0.

Scanning is working again now.

Thank you. :)

But is it possible that it still shows the old Value on screen and is using this value for the Squelch Level and Autoscan AF Level?

this Options still scan and mute the Audio even the Signal seems to be clear.

Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robertolm:
I had change from Hd to HD2.

And when start .... show the message: "Failed to open FM radio hardware.".

Will you fixed it?? I think this why the control doesn't manage the fm chip of the HD2.

Thank you.

Great Program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
EON confusion :D right, that confused me too at first. In the end its quite easy:

EON dark yellow: no EON available

EON light yellow: EON available, but none of the other stations carry a traffic programme (EON-TP)

EON light green: EON available, and at least one of the other stations have a traffic programme available

So, whats the use? None, to be honest, at least not on our devices. Its nice to know there might be another station with TP, but in the end you wont get the traffic announcement as you'd need a dual tuner to listen to the other frequency. Interestingly though, there is a protocol definition which would allow a broadcaster to transmit TA alerts for a EON frequency (grouptype 14B in technical terms). Unfortunately it seems they dont use it (at least not on my location here in vienna). Anyway, looks funky :p

changing bank: the screen is already crowded, i'm afraid there's no room for another button. I'm aware of the problem and give it a brainstorm, maybe i'll come up with some gesture support :D Get surprised :cool:

So, for the last request: i'll come up with a cabbing script if you promise to share your skin. deal? :D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Not sure i fully understand. The value shown is the value which is used for squelch and AF-autoscan. Same behaviour as in earlier versions.

There might be situations where the tuner reports a "bad" signal in terms of RSSI value which is still acceptable to a human ear, and the other way round. Either way, there's nothing i can do about.

Well, its not a bug so there's nothing to "fix" here. HD2 simply isnt supported yet. As soon as GFMAPI supports HD2, Power Radio will work without changes (except you need a new GFMAPI).

I'm trying to help flywhc with that, if we're lucky you'll be too :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
-o^o-

Hi 6Fg8!

Thank you for your perfect and precise explanation about EON.. Finally I have understand and my EON confusions are completely dissolved now!! :D

Now other two simple questions (simple for you N.T.L. Nice Technological Lady :p):

1) What's the meaning of ART (Artificial Broadcast) and COMP (Compression Indicator)? And why some broadcast deliver it and other no? Which is the difference and what service eventually should be offered? (confused again) :D:D

2) You will ever surprise us going on developing and improving this your fantastic sw.. - true! ;) - ..btw i think it should be fantastic if is it not so impossible redraw and pinch the RDS text scroll bar in order to make a room for the "new" button.. May be i dream 'cos i'm not a programmer anyway this is my idea:

Now about our deal.. ;)

I'm not so sure that is a deal for You.. in fact I've only modified the color text in the already good Dusk_Black_Glow skin.. In future I'd like change buttons with something just a little dark black and transparent ..but before I have to found them in some other skin (draw is not my best quality) :D:D

Anyway that is:

As you can see my skin is nothing special.. only changed colors so now it looks more like in the Hi-Fi tuners.. (Hi-Fi is one of my passions). Now the battery meter is visible (in the original skin is not) and the light off indicators are less in evidence.. That's all!! :)

THX 4 your patience!

Read you later... (shame there is not the flower icon for you) LoL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nwadham@wanadoo.es:
Thanks for your reply, I think I have finally managed to fix the problem.

I unistalled the previous Smartlock version (though it already was 2E), rebooted, installed the 2F version, rebooted (options in Smartlock: WM6.5 new lock, Stand-by trigger lock screen,Lock screen and then stand-by and Energy optimization), started PowerRadio, selected 1st preset, let the device go to sleep, then double tap, the screen wakes up (not at full backlight, though, and with the Smart Lock on, the slide button one) and.. yep, it moves to the next preset, then the screen goes off quickly.

Tried all the presets and the seek forward with the long tap. It seems OK!

Thanks so much, I hope it stays like this :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beowulf6:
Ah. Sorry. just removed the latest and installed the old version 2.0.3.0 that worked for me.

I was writing a better explanation and just reinstalled Version 2.2.3.0 and now it is showing higher Signal Values and Squelch and AF is working too.

must be something that was not correctly deinstalled before.

Sorry about my complaints.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
ART: used to flag dummy head recordings, more readings here

COMP: dont have much info on that, there's a link to a "CCIR study programme 46A/10, Dubrovnik 1986" in the RDS docs. The document itself is payware, no idea what its all about.

Did you ever see any of them on a station? I dont get them here. When signal quality is bad you might get false positives on that due to transmission errors, so you may want to check if that lasts for a longer period of time.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Sure it will be possible to add a button where you suggested. On the other hand i'd like to implement gestures anyway (curious :D). So that would make a nice feature, swipe left/right to go back/forth presetbanks. And maybe drag/drop etc. Maybe i'll get some additional inspirations during coding too :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Great you worked it out. Thats exactly how its planned to behave.

no worries, thats what a forum is for :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
6Fg8.. YOU are GREAT!! x X x

..if i were a twenty's i would ask you to marry with me!! LoL lOl

I'll wait with interest your future "inspirations".. ;)

Nice One N.T.L. :D

P.S. tested the ART and COMP indicator with some really strong and stable radio broadcasters here at Rome.. so i can say that they are not false positive!! If you "wanna" test on your black.. I can give you hospitality to me here at Rome and than we can walk together between the ancient ruins ..naturally listening your PowerRadio with our HD! eheh LoL LoL LoL .. bye bye :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
You could probably be my son then :D Ah well, i'll better keep my age a secret :p

Good news for the gestures, gave that a try meanwhile and they work great! Just need a bit polishing and a new release is on the way :)

As for the ART and COMP flags, i'd really like to have a closer look. Luckily i built logging into the app, so a journey to Rome isnt necessary, though hard to resist your offer :D

I'll post the settings later (have to rush to the office now), would be great if you could log a few minutes and hand me the logfile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fAZernERo:
^o^

I'm here 4 you lovable N.T.L.!! :)

I'll send you everything requested to me.. also the log of my life!! :D:D

anyway ..differently my age is not a secret: 43..! :rolleyes: ..so could I being still your son? :D:D

Have a nice day sweet MomY!! LoL lOl

Waiting for your future "gestures" and "inspirations".. (x x x). Bye!

P.S. I think it would be much better to walk together between the "ancient ruins" listening PowerRadio rather than analyze cold inanimate logs from here.. Are you agreee? :p ..so my invitation for u doesn't expire.. ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
erm ... no, son wont describe it, young brother perhaps? :)

Walking between ancient ruins would sure make me loose focus and then a couple of people wouldn't be happy as they dont get updates for their favorite FM player :D

And hey, Power Radio is on the xda headlines as app of the day (yesterday), see here: http://www.xda-developers.com/

Could you please add a registry key HKLM\Software\PowerRadio\LogLevel dword 0x4200 (dec. 16896), then start PowerRadio and let it run for a couple of minutes? After that, there should be a file "PowerRadio.log" in \Program Files\PowerRadio, please post it here. Dont forget to delete the key afterwards or your storage will get spilled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:

HTC Touch Pro

yea so I have a HTC Touch Pro and I've downloaded quite a few apps from this website and I've had a good experience here but I must say... Im cheap and have not donated any money but this is one program I would def. throw $10!! lol. I was able to download it and install perfectly fine!

Howeverrr, when I start it up it says no ear piece found, is it really required ? It shows 0% signal and I dont even know where my USB/minpin contraption is anymore lol.

When I first start up the program it wants to load forever due to no earpiece. If i close it and reopen, it says the phone is not supported. ( I am pretty positive that this is because it's plugged into the computer for charging, must unplug it for it to start up properly!!!! )

Long story short, will this work if i find my earpiece ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
We are working on it, no guarantee though. Its tough to do without any docs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
why not give it a shot and report back? it wont harm your device even if it wont work :)

AFAIK nobody tried on CDMA yet, at least i didnt get reports.

earpiece is necessary, or audio will get muted. Dont have control over that, its done somewhere in the lowlevel drivers or even onchip.

It shouldnt make a difference wether the phone is plugged for charging or not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
:D:D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chiifin:
Thanks, but does that also mean for recieving signal ? The program never locked onto a station, even.

Partially supported in case of Rhodium means it can tune, seek etc. but wont get RDS data. Now it seems this is only true for GSM variants.
