Doesn't it register FM notification window/event with NULL? This will stop driver loading RDS data in v 1.6.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Not yet, intentionally. Didnt want to suspend RDS processing to have up to date messages when powering on again. I might add power saving options to the menu to let users decide.

hi there

thanks for your work

i have installed the program but i get an error saying i dont have the correct version of microsoft .net compact framework.

i have a new touch pro 2 - do i still need to download a new framework to work on this device?

thanks

Power Radio works fine but no rds

I've installed PowerRadio 1.2.0.1 sucessfully.

it opens and search for stations but it only shows frequency, not more!

When i close it no sound anymore!!

My handy is touch pro 2 Rhodium and my real FM Radio

shows me RDS station name.

Guess my info can help POWER RADIO MAKE WORKING with RDS data!

good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
if it says so, i would believe it at first. You need .netCF 3.5:

Power Radio relies on flywhc's GFMAPI, and he is currently investigating this. Watch his thread carefully and please support him if he needs testing work to be done. As soon as there is progress, Power Radio will work without change on your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Feger1:
Its a very great Application!

Please can you tell me where i find the Version-Number of the installed Radio?

P.S: In den Screenshots sehe ich das du auch aus Österreich bist, Gratulation zu der hervorragenden Radio Software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
thanks :)

after installation, run Power Radio and you can see the version number displayed in the lower (black) panel. The first post of this thread always contains the last version. The screenshots are not up to date, i'll change them later.

Danke, freut mich wenns dir gefällt :)

HeadsetButtonHandler lets you use the wired headset button to skip presets - see version history in first post.

While Power Radio is running, the handler sends all button events to it. If PR is off normal operation continues. Why not try it out and report back? You can always uninstall the buttonhandler if it doesnt work for you.

Thanks for your quick response.

I will try everything again after i install Dutty's new 6.5 R6 ROM within the next couple of days and will report back to you (-as no one elese has reported a similar problem i would presume it has something to do with other cabs i have installed)..........it would be good to know if there are others out there who are using your Power Radio with WM6.5???

__________________

Well i updated my HD to Duttys WM6.5 R6 installed Power Radio and the Handler and all seems to be working OK except that an incoming call cannot be answered by pressing the left phone button nor by using the Slider, both of these don't work for me. On the otherhand i have the auto answer mode implemented after ~3 rings and that is still working.....so its not that big of a problem for me.

The main thing for me is that the Handler is working and it now changes the presets and that for me is a FANTASTIC feature/improvement.

If you have any ideas i would appreciate them.

Many Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thanks for reporting. The behaviour on incoming calls is really weird. There is absolutely nothing in the code which touches hardware buttons or manipulates other windows. I will upgrade my HD to a WM65 ROM soon, will check for this and hopefully find a workaround - otherwise it would be useless for me either.

Power Radio don't show RDS/TMC!

I have Rhodium Touch Pro 2!

Installed newest FMSDKWrapper.dll renamend to FMS_API.dll!

And installed newest GFMAPI.dll v1.6 !!

Here is my problem:

When i turn on Power Radio 1.0.2.1 it runs good; hear music,

but when it scan no RDS station name is found,

only the freqency of a station.

The newest xFMRadio can't this, too.

But version 0.2 shows RDS station name!!

Not less nor more.. :o

can you help make it fully working on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2??

:):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Sorry, no. Power Radio gets RDS notifications from GFMAPI. If it doesnt work there, it cant work for Power radio either.

Just want to say THANKS! This radio app is awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robertofusco:
number of presets

Interface distribution on skin isn't optimal.

First of all, appending Menu & Off buttons to the other commands items should make gain other space.

You'd fill all space with other presets. I think you could put at least 30 presets on each bank screen so that 2 screens should be enough for everybody.

I'd add a bank selector other than clicking on fm# and a volume slider between presets and lcd panel.

Nice job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Current layout is designed for VGA. Of course this means wasting space on a WVGA device.

Others complained there shouldn't be any preset buttons at all. No matter what i do, it's wrong anyway :)

Could you recommend a nice control to be used as a volume slider? The one in VS is ugly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mfavard:
hi, it is possible to add internal aero bande (108 MHzo t 137 MHz )

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
No, that has been already discussed in this thread. The receiver chip is unable to tune these frequencies.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robertofusco:
Presets #

You know (in the application) how tall the screen is.

You can display presets only if there are any.

For example:

- Preset Line height is 50px

- Presets x Line is 5

- Available height is 420px

You have 420/50=8 lines=40 presets per bank.

You'll need ((Presets.Count+39)/40) banks.

-------------

Sorry but at the mom I don't know of any slider prettier that vs one but I'll give a look for that.

Bye.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Without empty preset buttons you cant save a station, or you have to do it via menu. I prefer it the way it is. Sure i could calc the number of buttons depending on available screen space and fill the remaining gap with presets. Still not sure if i'd need that for something else. Functionality is not yet finished. I'll consider it for later point in time.

If you find a neat slider i'd appreciate a hint :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshcool31:
strange font size and menu doesn't have the same options as shown in pic

Hi,

I've just installed the powerradio app on my sony xperia x1, and for some reason at the top where it shows the frequency is really big and doesn't seem to fit in the space meaning on some frequencies you can't actually really make out what frequency you're actually on. Is there any way to change this?

And for some reason when i open 'menu' it looks quite small and only has the scan band, set sensitivity, select band and select skin options on it. Is this the way it's supposed to be, or it supposed to have all of the options shown in in the pictures in the description?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Can you post a screenshot?

The screenshot on the first post is from the new version coming up in a few days, when beta tests are done. Everything is fine with your menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruiserrr:
I will do, I promise, but you see I did not notice is vga so I think basically if you make a cab with the image icons half size, that's it. The text icons show ok, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Looks funny :)

Seriously:

- you can resize the images yourself, all of them are in "Skin_brown", just use your favorite image editor

- it seems you dont have the font "Tahoma" on your device. Could you check for that? Do a find with Total Commander or Resco Explorer for "Tahoma.ttf" on your device. If its not there i could provide it as a single file or add it to the cab in next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ausi:
Can you try to solve the problem on the HD 6.5 ROM i mentioned (phone not opening up when call comes in) in your new version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
The new version is already code complete (and i still run WM61), but will be on the list for next cycle.

Black&Blue Skin

Hallo 6Fg8,

thank you for the great Radio.

But I don’t like the brown skin, so have made a very simple Black&Blue for myself.

Maybe someone wants it too, so I’ve made a cab.

.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Wow, looks great, thanks for this. I'll put it on the first post, sure other people like it too cause there were a couple of complains :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
I am experiencing the same problem with the large characters in the frequency area on my Fuze. Installed the app and started listening to the radio in less than two minutes so all of that is good. The screen looks the same with the brown or blue skin.

Re; one of the other posts, I have courier, tahoma and tahoma bold fonts installed on my device.

This is a really nice radio. Please keep developing.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
The font in the display panel (frequency, stationname) should be a digital one. Usually its registered when PR starts, but for some reason this doesnt seem to work on your device.

Try to copy the .ttf file from \Program Files\PowerRadio to \Windows\Fonts. Be warned that this could change the font on other windows too.

The next version of Power Radio will use another font which isnt that aggressive, so it can coexist with others in case the registration on PR start doesnt work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshcool31:
sorry for the long reply time.

here's the screen shot of the large text in the app :confused:

btw i'm on the x1

OH right i've just seen the advice mentioned above, would this advice apply to the x1 also.

and is the next release coming out soon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
yes, thats a WinMo issue, not device specific

beta tests are running. cant tell a specific date.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I think I amready know the answer to this, but just to be safe, if I copy the file as instructed and it does change the font in other windows, can I remove the font and get things back to normal? I can live with a little craziness for a while, but don't want to do anything permanent.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
OK, I took the plunge and copied the font file into windows and all is better. It did change my Task Manager font as other posters have noted, but I can live with that for now. I checked most of my other screens and have not found any funky font issues elsewhere. As an observation, possibly this font did not get to the right place on my device because I loaded Power Radio on my storage card.

On another note, while I had my phone connected to my PC to create screen shots, while listening thru Power Radio, I got a phone call. I was able to answer the call without any issue. Bravo.

I look forward to the next release.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
If you should get bored with the replaced font you can still get rid of it. Just rename the font to something like "deleteme" and reboot, after that you can delete the file.

Thanks, good to know. What WM version are you using? WM6.1? Because there were reports it wont work with WM6.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
just wanted to let you know, your skin is very popular. 65 hits during the first few hours :)

Hi!

Is the new GFMAPI 1.6 included in the latest power radio release? The 1.6 API is supposed to fix the topaz issue.

regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Unfortunately, no, for two reasons:

- there is no GFMAPI for Omnia

- Power Radio is built for VGA and WVGA resolutions. I could change this, but doesnt make sense without GFMAPI

Yes i did, and it's planned for some later releases.

Yes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axe77:
First let me say I think it's a great FM radio app!!

But with the included gfmapi.dll in the latest release of Power Radio I still get no sound (only for a fraction of a second when exiting Power radio)

When I use the v1.6 gfmapi.dll from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497977 the sound problem is gone again.

are you sure v1.6 of the GFMAPI is included? The filesizes of both gfmapi dlls are also different.

Forgot to mention I have a Topaz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wupperbayer:
Hi,

first of all: Thanks, 6Fg8, for this great application. I’ve always been some kind of a “radio nerd” and wondered for many years why no portable device with a FM radio had decent support for all the great things RDS delivers. So PowerRadio really is the application I searched for for a long time.

But I have one issue on my Topaz / Touch Diamond2: The sound is somewhat quiet. If I click on one preset, it’s as loud as with HTC’s own radio (which is ok) for about half a second and then gets so quiet I have to put the volume all up to get an audible result.

So for now, PowerRadio is only usable for me when my surroundings are quiet enough.

I don’t know if you are already aware of this problem or if it is already solvable. But if not, it would be really great if you could look into it. Would make this already great application even better :)

EDIT: @axe77: Interesting. As I said, I only have quiet sound, but the sound is definitely there. I’ve got a Topaz, too.

PS (in German): Schöne Grüße nach Österreich :) Wirklich klasse, dein Programm!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axe77:
You could try the v1.6 GFMAPI.dll from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497977. That solved the sound volume problem on my Topaz.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wupperbayer:
Hm, thanks for the link, but that didn’t really help. I don’t know if I did anything wrong, but now PowerRadio doesn’t display any RDS info at all and the sound stays quiet (but note mute), with it being at a normal level if I click on a preset for about half a second.

EDIT: Wow, now RDS doesn’t even work in HTC’s radio. All I did was replacing the GFMAPI.dll

EDIT 2: Soft reset helped, but quiet sound problem isn’t solved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Apparently, you're right. I also checked the cab. Somehow GFMAPI 1.5B made it into the cab instead of 1.6.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axe77:
After replacing the gfmapi dll, RDS didn't work for me either anymore, not until I did a soft reset. I don't know why.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axe77:
tiny bug?

Could it be that the search buttons still use 100kHz steps for searching stations? Because when I manually tune to a 50kHz rounded frequency (e.g 90.55) and then use the seek buttons, almost no other stations will be found. (Radio stations broadcast on frequencies with 100kHz steps in the Netherlands)

It's not a big deal for me because I can just use a step size of 100kHz in the settings but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thats a limitation of either chip or drivers, i cant tell. Seek always uses 100 kHz steps. If you do a scan with 50 kHz enabled you'll notice that it will do 2-passes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paalkr:
Hi!

Worked for me as well, with a topaz device! Finlay I can enjoy the best FM radio player for the WinMo platform ever.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wupperbayer:
Hm, no one else here having my problem with a Topaz?

If I choose a preset, the sound is much louder for about half a second, then it’s much quieter than for example HTC’s radio. It’s still usable, but it would be great if the sound was as loud als HTC’s radio.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Hello 6Fg8,

This short message simply to thank you for this application. I like it. :)

Btw, do you know if Power Radio consume more battery than the regular HTC FM radio ? I'd like to save my battery.

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Yes it does. I did the last measures with GFMAPI 1.5B:

HTC FM radio: 3% per hour

PowerRadio: 12% per hour

I didnt do tests with GFMAPI 1.6. According to flywhc, it should improve power consumption.

Looks like is am still having a font issue on my Fuze (see attached). I loaded Power Radio onto my SD card . Do I need to do the "drop font into windows/font folder" trick again?

FYI: I did a soft reset after install.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I would give that a shot, at least it wont do any harm. The font in this release should be save to not replace anything else on your device.

What WM version do you run? (did i ask that before?). Because the "AddFontResource" system call seems to be ignored.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thanks, stuck it to the first post (thanks to google translate too which enabled me to understand your post :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Moving the font into windows\fonts did the trick, and my Task List looks normal:). FYI, before moving the font I also tried uninstalling, resetting and installing in main memory but that didn't change anything.

AT&T Fuse - WM 6.1 Professional - Build 19971.1.2.6

Questions: Do I need to update the GFMAPI file I read about in previous posts? Everything seems to be working fine (sound, RDS).

Thanks again for you quick responses.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
BTW, to everyone who considers skinning, there will be more possibilities in the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Hm, thats weird. I use a system call "AddFontResource" to register fonts dynamically during runtime (and unregister it on exit). This should work on all WM61 devices. Obviously, WM61 isnt WM61 in some cases.

If you like you could update GFMAPI, but if everythings fine its not necessary. There might be some power improvements in the newer version though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mobiler:
Hey.

On my Topaz (Diamond 2). Stock ROM and everything is just plain simple, no special hacks or anything. There is absolutely NO SOUND WHATSOEVER from the Radio. I did a scan, it got some stations in. There is absolutely just no sound at all. I heard some people say to replace some files which I am reluctant to because other reported problems with volume being low. But my problem is just NO volume at all with no station (even if you glue you ear to the speaker or earpiece nothing. Volume is set all the way up. Volume is fine with all other apps. Seems like a serious bug.

Any help is appreciated.

simply renaming dll's will not help. GFMAPI must be adapted to your hardware/drivers. I dont think its supported yet, check the RDS FM Radio thread here for latest developments:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497977
