I don't think the audio routing is controllable other than headset/speaker. However, you can try btaudio, which redirects all audio in your device to bluetooth. It works with normal sound like movie playback etc. Not sure if it works for radio, but you can try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
Waaay cool man!

Installed on my HTC Fuze - had to tinker with it a couple of times to get it to fly - but hey it's working great now.

Anyway I will be using it from now on instead of the stock one...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0mmyr:
so i'm guessing this wont work on a raphael 800 (cdma touch pro) because the fm radio hasnt been unlocked yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GriFolle:
WOW...I think your app is pretty perfect!

Any chance to have a future release that would work also on a Wqvga screen (my omnia)? :)

Yesterday after I arrived home, I plugged in the headphones and tried this app. Works perfectly!!! Better than the native radio app from my HD.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
I just wanted to thank you for this great APP !!! :D

Sorry ... not enough screen real estate to show all the information available. And as i dont own such a device, testing is difficult to impossible for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eroperop:
Thank you for the great application. Would it be possible to extract the TMC information so that GPS applications such as iGO could use it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
Ummm.... any chance of QVGA edition?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igorp:
I had this application running on HTC Touch HD, WWE 1.56.

There is a serious bag - the application faied to save my presets. Every time I restart application, all changes I have made to presets -e.g. change of the name of the patricular station, - all these changes happened to be lost.

Added 02/07/2009 - I think this is because I have configured "," as a comma-sign in my Reqional Settings. So, looking forward for release with regional setting support.

There are 2 questions:

1. It is possible to make on standard fonts

2. For Russia it is possible to expand a range with 90 to 110
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vizier:
I have installed the application, and enjoyed for a few hours. Apart from a few minor bugs, this app is great for a start. I cannot wait for the next release :)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ikkari:
Thanks for sharing !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
ad 1: not planned, GUI is adjusted to the currently used fonts, so would need a complete rework

ad 2: 90-110 MHz? Is that the frequency range used in Russia?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sdhweg:
hi great work for now but would it be possible to change the font size of radio text it is a bit too small for my bad eyes... so would be great if i could use radiotext as well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mandragore:
Welcome to the forum. Please read the forum rules and learn how to use the forum software. It isn't necessary to quote the entire first post, just to state that you're expecting something. And I'm sorry, but the first post clearly says that Power Radio supports the Touch Pro, except CDMA..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Fontsizes and styles will be adjustable via PowerRadio.ini in one of the next releases. I'm currently reworking the GUI, which unfortunately takes longer than i expected ;)

Hi 6Fg8

I know you have been working very hard on this excellent project. But can I suggest that the program icon (the headfone) be on a white background. It will surely look great.

Keep up the great work.

Saving Presets from last Version to New Version

Hi

Is there anyway to Save Presets from last Version to New Version??

Some sort of ini file??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Have a look at PowerRadio.ini, its a textfile where presets are stored.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] forlornme5:
i don't mean to be a jerk about it and i know that this program doesn't currently work on tp cdma, but is anyone currently working on it? and if so is there a time frame in which it would be completed?

Thanks, would this change when you do a version upgrade or i can just stick the previous's ini in it??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
not that i'm aware of, but you might get answers in the FM radio thread (see first post).

I try to keep settings compatible with newer versions. Thats no guarantee though :D At least you can try, worst that could happen is a runtime error. Then simply delete the file and start over.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
image work was never (and probably will never be) one of my talents. I'll make a note and check some time later.

If there's a genius out there who could help, i'd really appreciate that :D

Power Radio for QVGA

Ok folks, you asked for it, here's a sample from my kitchen, which will soon arrive as a downloadable cab. I finished most of the rework on the GUI, which allows for a more flexible resolution handling.

The good news is, i managed to resize the images on the fly, which means you may use the available skins for W/VGA. Downside is, resizing always leads to artefacts, which will show. No problem without solution though: you may build own skins specifically designed for QVGA and tell PowerRadio to not resize them (there will be an option in the skin definition file).

You may notice that the volume and RSSI bars on the right are scraggy. This is one of the problems in handling low res screens in an app designed for highres. I'll try to take care of that and find a reasonable design. Everything else you see is what will arrive in the upcoming release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marcmans:
QVGA release

Great news 6Fg8. Many thanks in advance. Looking forward to your next QVGA release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
6Fg8,

First I would like to thank you for this super application you made.

If you like, replace the .exe file with the one I attach in which I have changed the icon file with the Touch HD's standard fm radio icon. (after replacement soft reset).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Actually, I think most people like the existing Power Radio icon. I know that I do. It's just a little too dark against a dark background and needs some Photoshop magic to make it better. Attached is my quick attempt at a white or blue background. Not perfect, but a little improvement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecky:
How about this improvement for future releases?

Your application V1.3.3.0 works perfect (accept the font-problem but workaround works) on xperia with stock rom:

Softwareversion: 1AA020

Rom-Version: 1.002.111.7

Best regards, ecky
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thanks for the effort, but to be honest i'd like to have a different icon to visually distinguish between the apps.

Great, thank you. Will stick it to the next release.

The font problem should be gone in the next release, i found a way to (hopefully) solve this once and forever.

Writing an equalizer is a completely different thing than writing a radio app. You'll have to do software DSP on an audio stream, thats not an easy task to do, even on a desktop machine. So with the limited resources of a WinMo device i'm not even sure its possible. I know there's an equalizer app in HTC and other devices, but i guess this is hardware supported. And if the FM stream isnt wired to the equalizer hardware, theres nothing that can be done about. Of course this is pure speculation, diving into details about that would need a couple of days alone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
If someone could give me a preferable image I can edit and change the .exe's icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thanks, that would be great. I have a few candidates, will up them later (currently posting from PDA)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timsah:
i am using udK's WM6.5 R6 ROM, and can not hear anything and also when i do an auto-scan it only finds 104, still no sound though.

Does anyone have the same ROM with same problems? Or is there any "Fix" for my problem?

Thanks in advance!

@6Fg8

Ich hoffe, ich bring es irgendwie zum Laufen.

Schöne Grüsse aus Graz :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Here are a few i considered nice. The more detailed ones might be hard to shrink, so choose your favorite.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
The fifth one. It maintains your original icon and very nice too.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
The three larger images do kinda get lost when reduced to 48 or 32 pixels. Both the 4th (Casque-SZ) and 5th (crystalclear2hro) look nice (a whole lot better than mine), but I would lean towards #4. Simple, but distinctive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
Ok, I made files using each of the above icons (plus some alternatively for some of them).

Choose which you prefer rename it to 'PowerRadio' and replace the original file. After the soft reset you will have the preferable icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Wow, they all look awesome, thanks a bunch. Now i'll have a hard time deciding which one to choose :) Maybe i should open a vote :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
My vote will go to the second (middle on the top three icons).

Secondly I would vote for the black background 'on air'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
exactly, thats the one i'll go for. I tested only on emulator, will see how it looks on the real device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:

Some problems with HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) and v1.4.0.0

On my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris), the buttons are now resizing correct. But the whole interface has dropped about 50 pixels down, so other phone panel is peeking in. Info panel is almost empty except for frequency, but it look like there must be some shifting words hidden behind the buttons now:

It pops: "failed to open FM radio hardware", but works again after restart.

To get sound, I need to shift the button between speaker and headphones once - same as old version. But it works, thanks - looking forward to new version!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Ok i see the problem with controls is related to WinMo autoscale. I wanted to get rid of that anyway, but as it ran fine in emulator i thought it would do on a real device too - wrong. I can work around this.

When did you get "failed to open FM radio hardware", and how did you fix it? Is it reproducable?

I dont understand the sound problem, there is no button between speaker and headphones :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TomMob:
Re: Some problems with HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) and v1.4.0.0

I found out now. Message comes, if radio is started, while the phone is USB-linked to computer. And then it continues, also if phones is moved away or to ear plug. Reboot, and problem is gone.

When radio starts, display says frequency 108. Then I chose a preset, but get no sound. And then I push the button marked with a headphone, briefly switching to the phone speaker - gets the sound, and push it back to headphone mode. Confusing, but working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KUR0I:
Hallo 6Fg8,

the Buttons are a very nice feature. :)

Hi 6Fg8,

at first ... your radio is for me better then the THC radiocab file.

at second ... one issue.

I have seen in the time being scanning that the application waits only 5 seconds for the rds data. But that is to short. With the other radio application i need arround 10 seconds to get the rds data. Can you change or add a point in the menu where we can set the wait time for rds data while scanning?

Greetings from NLD

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
I can't understand why do I have this error, since I had no problems with previous version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
me too :D

Its related to the FMClose call. The behaviour isnt consistent over devices, not even over ROM versions. We both have a Touch HD, and encounter different behaviours. What works fine on mine leads to an exception on yours, and vice versa. Thats kinda challenge.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
I wish I could help but I haven't the knowledge to do that.

Meanwhile, I'l have to let you for now, because here (Greece) is almost 01a.m.

Thanks, and have a nice evening.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
I just wished to report that it works fine with NetCF3.7.8345.0. Another thing, as I reported earlier, there is no memory leak anymore. However, the icon is a bit 'fuzzy' on the home screen.

This is on the HTC Topaz.

Please see attached pics.

I hope my input helps with your hard work to refine this already fantastic piece of software.

THANK YOU!;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Thanks for your help with testing.

I think i found at least a workaround to solve the problem. Would you mind to install the attached debug cab and let me know?

Thanks for the info. Thats what i meant with "not consistent over devices" :)

New features

Hello 6Fg8,

is it possible to introduce some command line chance and some registry entry updating the state of radio?

In this way it will be possible to use basic PowerRadio info/commands in other UI programs like WAD2 or HS++ or similar.

In this moment I think about MortPlayer, which has commands to go to next track, to stop, play etc., and write in registry info about track, album, lenght etc.

Hope you can take in consideration (I hope it wouldn't be so complicated :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
6Fg8,

Unfortunately problem still exists.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
That was my last option to solve it quickly :(

Still rome isnt lost yet. You didnt have problems with v1.3.0.0, right? With a bit testing i could build alternative exit strategies depending on the particular devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Basically yes. Writing status infos to registry might slow down overall performance as there's a bunch of information coming from RDS. I'll give it a try to see how it performs, it might help to only write the most important infos.

The commandline option might be an additinal program utilizing event mechanisms which are already built in (headsetbuttonhandler works that way).

Either way, this will take some time to implement.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jolas:
6Fg8,

I was testing the closing behavior of powerradio by opening and after initialization, closing it. On about 10 circles open-close the problem occurred only 2 times.

EDIT: Another 10 circles and only 1 error message.

I start to think that problem is not really present or annoying!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KUR0I:
Hallo UMH,

although I have almost all logos, these ones looks much nicer, thank you.

But the problem is, that I don’t know, how the Stations (outside my area) are named/displayed by RDS. (z.B. BR1 or BR 1 – N-Joy or NJOY)

And that is imperative for Power-Radio to assign them.

If you send me a List with the Station-Name and the displayed RDS-Station-Name, I will admit them to the Icons.

!!! If there are other German Power-Radio-Users out there, I would ask them to do the same. !!!

Maybe we can make a complete Icon-Set for Germany.

Or does anybody know a link to such a list?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] UMH:
Hallo KUR0I, ;-)

the name of the stored radio station is sometimes not predictable, e.g. the displayed name of "DIE NEUE 107.7" is alternating between "DIE NEUE" and "107.7", so the name depends on the point in time when the radio station is stored.

Anyway, I've attached 2 screenshots where you can see the radio stations for central Stuttgart.

Below is a link to a list of radio stations in germany.

http://www.radioweb.de/stationen.html

Because nearly everything in our country is regulated, a "complete" list of radio stations for germany listed by "Bundesland" can be found at the corresponding government ("Aufsichtsbehörde") e.g. for "Baden-Württemberg" click here http://www.lfk.de/programme/radio-programme.html

I think this is coming from your ROM because on my HD there are no problems, it is working perfectly :D

Well, there is a list with RDS station names (PS) on http://fmlist.org . Just click on "continue as guest" on the right and there you have it.
