new version 2.3.0.0

New version 2.3.0.0 available. As always, see first post.

This version introduces gestures (only WM 6.5 and up)

- swipe right/left to switch to next/previous preset bank

- drag and drop a preset within a preset bank (wont let you overwrite existing presets)

I replaced the screenshots on first post as they got pretty outdated. BTW dont get fooled as you may recognize a HD2 :) Power Radio wont still run on HD2. Its actually a WinMo Emulator skin :D

And wow, i'm in the nominations for WinMo applications development for Power Radio. If you've never heard of the devvy awards, you may want to visit this link
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghale:
Yes,

but some people (like me) that own an HD2 will go to download the app and receive the message that this app can't run on the device.

Please, remove the skin, until the app runs on HD2...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
note added, download link moved to "supported devices" list. If that still doesnt help, dont blame me :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghale:
Well, LOL!

Dear 6Fg8,

I'm (quite) finished the GFMAPI.dll for the Samsung GT-I800 device. Can you explain how the CAB will be generated in the case you agree to distribute it as special version for OmniaII. I can make a CAB or I can you send the dll - please let me know .......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Joker-xxl:
A have Acer S200, but your application doesn't work. Will it work later?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
guys, everything said here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
great news phjz :)

I use cabwiz to create the cabs. If you send me the dll i'll supply a special version for Omnia on the download page here. When Power Radio is updated it might be more convenient, also for app2date support.

Do you know if your dll works on other Samsung devices too? Or should we start a field test to get reports?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phjz:
Can you send me az e-mail address in PM?

I have no access to other devices, so simply doesn't know nothing regarding the compatibility - I'm used just "public" part of the code , so open the FMR1: device and communicate with the decoded IOCTL's - the probability that Samsung keep these IOCTL's between devices and versions is high, but I'm not sure especially the existance of the chip register read/write functions.

I have some minor problem regarding the GFMAPI ranges, maybe you can also help me? question to flyhwc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Igor Lozovsky:
Thank you for the program.

Seems I've found a bug in Remote Control. The bug appears when PresetPrev and PresetNext commands are used with HeadsetButtonHandler AND when device screen is off.

For example, let us have five presets: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 and preset #3 is currently selected. Press the PWR button, the screen goes off, then "HeadsetButtonHandler PresetPrev" changes to preset #2 (as it should), but the next "HeadsetButtonHandler PresetPrev"s do not change the preset, it remains #2. More. "HeadsetButtonHandler PresetNext" changes not to preset #3 (as it should), but to preset #4. The following "HeadsetButtonHandler PresetNext"s do not change the preset, it remains #4. "HeadsetButtonHandler PresetPrev" from this position changes back to preset #2. So, when screen is off I'm unable to select presets other than #2 or #4.

SeekFwd and SeekRev don't have similar bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
How did you test? Did you set the buttons via Extras/Headsetbutton within Power Radio and press buttons on the earpiece, or invoke HeadsetButtonHandler from a script?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Please check your PMs :)

As flywhc already answered perfectly i think i cant add something new.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Igor Lozovsky:
I invoked HeadsetButtonHandler from C++ code of my program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I see :) To save power while suspended, internal message processing is only active when the device is awake, so variables wont get updated. Try wakeup the device, then invoke HeadsetButtonHandler, and suspend it afterwards. I'll see how i can change this so waking up isnt necessary in future versions.

If you're interested i can provide you with details about message handling so you wont need HeadsetButtonHandler at all and can send a message directly to Power Radio.

hi,

for Leo

flywhc talk on his page:

"* BCM4325 Chipset:

HTC Rhodium, HTC Leo, HTC Mega

Supports radio functions if renaming FMSDKWrapper.dll to FMS_API.dll with the above driver. RDS data cannot be received.

We are working on this device."

But doesn't appears.... i supused that you has an personal API or custom Api.

I had tried to duplicate and renamed the *API.dll on powerradio's folder but doesn't works.

Do you know if flywhc only test on his applications?

I answer to cos i want use your app. But he create the firmware or the background driver to manage the chip.

I had installed the 2.3.0.0 version.

Hi, and great work to you and flywhc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Leo ROM's dont have FMSDKWrapper.dll, thats a dll from Rhodium. You may give it a try with the attached one, but be aware:

- as already mentioned, you wont get RDS

- it will confuse your audio

- some functions dont work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi 6Fg8,

so as every time.... a very good release of power radio.

It is working better then 2.2.0.0 on my TP2. No longer

strange noises on volume up or down, YES. And the best

one, all the skins from up 2.x.x.x are working :).

I have some new ideas and i hope in next 2 weeks i can

publish them here in your thread.

So far, i wish everyone a fine day.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phjz:
@6Fg8

Can you explain how the band scan must work? In the casae I start it, the only thing I see in the gfmapi logfile ( except mute the sound, etc) is to tune the frequency to 108.0 Mhz.

I scaled the possible frequency set to not enable tune outside the band, so maybe originally it is higher, but please help how can this also work. I'm implemented all the missing GFMAPI calls, and this is the only thing which not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
right, i rearranged the code to avoid that. Quite tricky but worth the effort :)

Looking forward to your new masterpieces :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
The scan itself doesnt currently write logs, thats by design. The function works as follows:

First, frequency is set to the top frequency of the selected band (thats why you see 108.0 MHz). Then FMSeek forward is issued. As we are at the upper end of band at this time, the seek starts with the bottom frequency. When a freq.change event with reason=FMFC_SEEK occurs, a timer starts to get RDS stationname. After that, FMseek forward is issued again, wait for freq. change event etc. If the reason is FMFC_SEEK_BANDLIMIT scanning is stopped.

What happens when you start the scan? Does it stop at a station? Maybe its because i rely on frequency rollover when starting with top frequency and seek fwd.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phjz:
Thanks, were my fault to not log in gfmapi the scan... I were done the following: In the case the FMPROP_FREQUENCY is at the highest band frq, I set it to the lowest limit. So the scan will start, reaching the highest frq will send a msg, so you can stop the scan, OK.

One question remaining for me: when you set the antenna symbol to red? I checked and none of gfmapi parameter changed, but in the case I insert the jack, the symbol become yellow, if remove, again red... (sure the signal is high )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
The "headset connected" status is in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware\Headset, so its independent of signal strength.

Dont know if you implemented that already, if a seek_rev hits the lowest band frq the API should also return end_of_band status and rollover to highest band freq on next seek_rev. Its not used during scan but in GUI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Confused

If the Touch Pro 2 GSM is supported then why isnt the HTC HD2 supported? Doesnt HTC FM Radio actually work on that device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
TP2 isn't fully supported - RDS data isnt available on that device.

Additionally, a file which comes with TP2 is missing on HD2, see comment here

Built-in FM radio app works fine on HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] douginoz:
Hi,

I'm in Australia and only a few stations transmit RDS, but it still makes this proram worthwhile. Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to manually name all the other stations.

Since I flash my phone every month or so, it'd be great to have the option to save/restore station information so I don't have to manually scan/edit every time. So it's a "+1" for this capability!

Also I noticed that I had to crank sensitivity to at least 19 to prevent it from finding a million static stations (either no or extremely weak signal). I'd get 3 pages full of stations, but after going through these manually there were only 17 actual stations. I'm not sure how high the sensitivity value should go to - it's a free text field so I guess I could keep raising this value, but it would help if there was some upper limit or range to use rather than my just guessing what value might be high enough.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Simply save PowerRadio.ini from the installation directory to your storage card and restore it after flashing & installing PowerRadio. This will not only bring back your stations but all other settings too.

The best value varies dramatically among different devices, which will even get worse with more devices supported. Whatever i'd implement here it would be wrong for one or another, so i leave it up to you to find your favorite value. As this setting is also written to PowerRadio.ini, its a +1 to save this file when flashing a new ROM :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] surroundedbydrones:
My stock TMO TP2 receives RDS data...is the aforementioned lack of RDS specific to Power Radio only?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raymondub:
hi

some news for the alarm function ?

it really can be great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Has been implemented long ago, called "Set Wakeup Timer". It will wakeup your device at the time you specify and start Power Radio with the last station tuned.

Its lack of documentation. Sure it has RDS data, but its unknown how to retrieve them in order to use it in 3rd party applications. This is not specific to Power Radio as nobody else except the manufactorer(s) is able to get hold of RDS data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] at45:
I tweaked the default skin a little. Anyone could've done but I had a few minutes and I think this is a bit more consistent.

EDIT: Any chance Power Radio will be updated for full WinMo 6.5.3 compatibility (so that it doesn't hide the new task bar)? Cheers. Great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper Matrix Wireless:
File must have been renamed then if it works. Just need to find it & have the program call for it as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] auipga:
i'm using power radio (on samsung b7610) for a few days now and it hat realy great functions.

i did not read all the 125 pages! maybe there is already a solution.

besides the sensitivity problem i think that it runs not as fast than on other devices. in-/decreasing the frequence takes up to one second! really slow if i want to get a station about 10mhz higher than standard 87.5. is it possible to type in a specific frequency?

at the bottom is a bar showing current voltage and more. theese values are not available for me on samsung b7610 using dll for i8000. can this be the reason for the slowness? i mean trying to get thoose values slowsdown the app, maybe...

i forgot: using speaker work fine, but changing sound output to headphones fails. also the mute, stereo and the button at its left has no function for me.

regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Didnt have a clue it would even run on b7610 :eek:

It shouldnt take one sec. to change frequencies, and you maybe right that getting the power values slows down overall experience. I could add a switch for that to turn it off to check for that. Since i collect power values via wince api (not GFMAPI) this may however prove wrong. Anyway its worth trying.

To enter a frequency directly, longtap the frequency and a input field will appear :)

As for mute, stereo etc. it depends if they are supported/implemented by the tuner chip and GFMAPI , so there's little i can do to change that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] auipga:
fast answer! wow

it would be verz nice if zou could implement this. is it possible to disable that bz changing existing settings file?

damn qwerty/z. i'm using german device with english rom ;)

scroll down and click the last link on that page.

when a window appears showing something like 'select target' or 'save as...' then please choose 'recycler' and become angry ;D

download works!

cant hear anything

i istalled the last cab, everithings semms ok but i cant hear anything.

the software scans for radio stations and says no headset go on anyway?

i sayd ok, found 50 stations , can see rds but cat hear anything.

i see on the top left corner volume signal very high and radio signal high too ...

cant hear anything.

Suggestions?

obviously tried all the buttons (hadset speaker stereo ecc.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
plug your earpiece in and it should work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robvamos:
oh fast!

I read your post sayng:

The FM driver checks for something to be plugged in and mutes FM sound if not. There's no way around that (besides writing a new driver or patch the original one to skip the check). If you put the stylus in far enough to make the plug think somethings plugged it should work (you risk damaging interiour parts of course). Or you could cut the plug off an old earpiece and use that (thats what i did).

I have ho hearpiece, i tried with my usb cable (better then the stylus) but if i do so the volume icon appears disabled and i cant reenable.

tHE application kinds of hangs and i cant switch radio station or do other things (seek forward remains forever)

i tried also to put 1 in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware\Headset

before starting the radio but nope

You sayd it should work with something pluggeg in or must be a hearpiece?

Do you think the driver is gona remve that check?

;-) thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
The important part is there must be a 3.5mm plug in the headset jack. Use an old headset from a CD player or MP3 player or similar, as long as it has a 3.5 mm plug.

The headset jack has a little microswitch inside to recognize if something is plugged in or not. If yes, you'll see a little headset icon on the taskbar, and Power Radio wont complain about not connected. And you'll get audio.

Works on OMNIA 2.

One problem though:

if I leave the radio on, after 1 min my display is locked (this is normal, I have set it like that) and I cannot unlock it anymore. The radio block the screen unlocking. It locks it back again and it remain dark.

Can you do something about it?

Thank you.

Anyone get this to work on their tilt2/rhodium? I get an error saying something like cannot find/open hardware, maybe not supported device and to check this thread for updates. The stock htc radio works just fine though. Tried it with stock usb headphones and with usb adapter and both no go with this app. Any ideas? Just got the att tilt2 so dont know whats up. Worked perfect on my last device att fuze.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Maybe this will help. From first post:

partially supported

HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium) - GSM version

partially supported. Cannot receive RDS data. Copy \Windows\FMSDKWrapper.dll to \Windows\FMS_API.dll
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexovy:
I will.

I have also notice that I have no sound in my headphones. So I have tried the followings:

1. Plug headphone - start powerradio - set volume to medium in powerradio: I have no sound in the headphones. I switch to speaker: I have sound, good quality :)...but only on speaker;

2. Start powerradio: I have no signal. Plug headphones: I have signal, but I dont hear anything on headphones. Rise the volume up...still nothing. Switch to speaker: I have sound.

So it doesnt work on the headphones.

It even change the behavior of my standard radio or the music player in the way that on the default radio I cant hear anything anymore (headphones or speaker) and with the music player I only hear on the speaker.

I do a soft reset and then everything is back to normal with the default programs.

Is there something you can do?

Thank you

Hi,

I know that there is (currently) no support for the HTC Touch 2 (aka HTC Mega).

But I am curious... what about to get the radio app working for the above device?

I tried it, install was no problem, but got some error message after starting the application.

Would be VERY nice if I could replace the original radio app with your software!

Little requests

Hello,

finally I had the time to work with remote commands to build a page inside WAD2.

Everything works fantastic a part this little bug:

- When I use the PresetNext / PresetPrev option everything works well, that is radio really change to previous/next preset, simply Frequence value in registry doesn't change.

A part this I have two little request to improve my experience on WAD2 "frontend":

- Is it possible to "trim" the radio station string? For example I obtain " RAI ", and when I try to associate with the RAI.png icon it fails. So I really need the "RAI" string.

I know, I could probably do the trick via mortscript, however I think it would be cleaner if application itself do the job.

- Is it possible to save in registry the state about AudioPath, Mono/Stereo, Mute/Unmute, in few words, everything associate with various "toggle" commands? WAD2 has a nice feature giving you the chance to show a different icon according to the state, but it needs a value on registry to understand this state.

Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I'll look for the bug, might well be as i didnt test very intense :)

Trim for the psname string is easy to add

Status info for AudioPath etc. is possible too, any specific type (string, dword) and value (0/1, yes/no, on/off) you need on that?
