Thanks a lot

It works perfectly on a HD with Miri wm 6.5 manilla 2.5 WWE Rom.

The only problem I found, is after the install i have to switch several time ear/spk and mute/unmute to have sound.

Again, a lot of thanks.

test of v1.3.3.0

Hi 6Fg8,

Yes, PowerRadio is very eye candy now! Bravo! :D

Some bug though:

- if the scan is interrupted, I cannot use "<", ">", "|<", ">|" after

- if during a scan the device powers off, when I power it on at the end of the scan, I have no sound. I have to mute/unmute or headset/speaker to have it back

Possible feature: it could be useful when the menu button is pressed to make it disappear after some time (5 seconds for example) if there is no other action.

Ideas for future version(s)

Dear 6Fg8,

you have developed a great application:). Only one issue:confused: on my X1 (WM 6.5, ROM 1.05.207.13):

it sometimes crashes while closing:mad:.

Now, that PowerRadio is ready for local use:D, i have some wishes for a version for travelers:cool::

stations should based on their name, not on the freqency.

Every station should have an AF list, which may even contain coordinates.

(Doesn't every GPS or 3G base station send their position?)

Maybe we can build up a data base with these information.

(Or does something like this exist some where in the www already?)

This would make scanning only be necessary in "unknown" territory.

Just some thoughts:rolleyes:,

IBX1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Crashdebug messages would be helpful.

AF lists are defined by the broadcasters. The RDS protocol doesnt define position information. Of course, this could be collected from other sources and put together in a database. But it would need a concept and a few thousand people which collect stations and position info and then upload it to a central database.

I dont have the time to set up such a project, but if you'd like to come up with something i'd support it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beowulf6:
Hello,

I really like this application and works really nice.

except sometimes it seems that the application stops responding but radio is still playing but it is impossible to change the station. closing works but everything is very slow, and the station that played before will again be played and i can not change it.

Even HyperGPS opens only with that station and i can hear the music.

Only reset of the Device solved it. I don't know what is causing this but i will report here when i find it.

Possible only when the device disabled the display.

One small idea for a feature i have:

it would be nice if PowerRadio can mute the sound when there is only noise in the current station.

i often drive through a tunnel where it is impossible to get a radio signal.

if the program could play a mp3 list when there is no signal would be a neat addition, so you never need to get the device out of your pocket.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Guys there is a VERY simple thing missing from Power Radio...

I can't find a way to see THE VERSION of the program!

(sometimes I forget if the one I have installed is older than the current one etc.)

Would also be nice to report the version of the DLL from within the program...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] katoaristera:
Which tunnel is as long as a song lasting ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] katoaristera:
Look at the small characters in the center of the program mask
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beowulf6:
for example a lot of train-tunnels ;)

it was only an idea.

I don't know if the DLL reports back when there is only noise.

So i don't know if this is possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
no it doesnt report that back. RSSI values might work instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
download links are back online.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
yes, download works again, thank you!

The low volume on Topaz I had reported ages ago is now fixed - plays as loud as the HTC FM player at least (which is still not loud enough compared to MP3s on WMPlayer, but I guess that is nothing you guys can fix)

I too however get the distorted large frequency picture that was reported here a few times. I already had this issue in the previous version I used (don't remember which, sorry), but it got fixed when starting your player the 2nd time. In this release this isn't the case anymore though.

German Topaz WM 6.1 stock ROM.

Actually, links are down for me (timeout).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ukdutypaid:
Ooo yes it's lovely. It's only the far right of the screen that's not appearing on my Polaris.

Funny though, no RDS data comes through. It counts down 5 through to 1, trying to find it and then just moves on.

I've tried the prototype wonderful Xfmradio and that pulled it through.

(tried on both SD and device).

Is there a tweak, or a longer time setting anywhere, for the RDS.

It uses all the same backend stuff as Xfm doesn't it?

You are a goddess amongst women for having done this. As ever nobody on here actually has to and we know that...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TinTin:
Copying digital-7.ttf from the Power Radio folder to \Windows folder (there is no \Windows\fonts folder on my device) and a soft reset afterwards solved the problem.

Why don't you install digital-7.ttf right to \Windows, if it's not interfering? Or is this unknown still?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Polaris has QVGA resolution, right? I didnt ever try, but would be curious to have a look. Could you post a screenshot please?

RDS should work, do you get station names and other RDS stuff? Currently there's no tweak for the timeout, but would be easy to do though.

xFMradio uses native FM drivers, PowerRadio uses GFMAPI, so no, its not the same backend stuff.

Thanks for the goddess :)

First, i wasnt sure if this font *really* doesnt harm any other windows or fonts on some devices, so i wanted to wait for reactions regarding this. Second, WM supports dynamic font registration. So my conclusion regarding this: i got no problem reports for the new font, and dynamic registration works on many but not all devices - heaven knows why. I'll copy the font to \Windows in the next installer cab, and everyone should be happy.

The FM radio chip in HD is a TI BRF6350, spec is 76-108 MHz. Maybe other devices/chips have a wider range, but i simply dont know.

QVGA original skin

Here it is ! QVGA icons !!

No cab, simply copy the folder inside powerradio installation directory

Regarding the font, I do have Tahoma. maybe qvga is not prepared for such a small size? or there is somo sort of cleartype settings that could be defined for the program? I have cleartype in my device set up

Did I say I love your application?.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I tried on emulator, and it looks exactly like your screenshot :cool:

Maybe i'll make some tests for that.

Do the radio functions work? Seek, tune, scan, mute, etc.? Didnt think it would run on cruise.

I have not done an exhaustive test but I can tell you I did not notices "it was not qvga" until I asked you about the icons appearance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tube:
Right!!! Did not notice that. Thanks! But, the volume ist still very low; even if I switch to full volume.

I copied the "GFMAPI for HTC devices 1.6" to the Powerradio folder, but the volume is still low. If I hit the mute button, the volume is muted. If I hit it again, it is still muted. Strange.

@6fG8

Thanks for your splendid works, your app is the best FM radio never seen and the preview of rel.1.3.4 is an emotion.

Can I suggest some things?

First of all, when I have locked 15 preferred radio station in first preset bank, I would sort the remaining radio station in the other banks.

The results are that all the stations, including my preferred locked stations, are moved and sorted by frequency.

It should be better if locked stations be non sorted and can remain where I put them.

Second, can I suggest to include a Sleep Timer function? I usually go to sleep listening my preferred radio station and at present I must use HtcRadio and not PowerRadio.

And last, for a complet skinning functionality, it seems to me that at the moment a function "DatapanelPresetButtonBackColorPressed" does not exist in "Skin_<name>.ini".

I am right?

I have also tested Power radio 1.3.3 on my previous Cruise (Polaris) and all functions run well, but with skin problems also with cruiserrr skin as in the figure attached

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
- locked stations shouldnt be sorted - a bug - already on my (internal) list

- sleep timer is a nice idea, and cheap to implement too :)

- i'm currently reworking the GUI and see if i can get QVGA experience with lowcost highfidelity.

- "DatapanelPresetButtonBackColorPressed" isnt valid because a presetbuttonpress changes images, not colors. The images are the same for all preset buttons - see skinning.rtf

Screenshot attached. As you can see, it's just about possible to use every button.

You'll see there's no RDS, but it receives signals (on speaker also).

Oddly enough, the other test app XFMradio, does receive RDS and stations, but there's no sound.. lol...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
You should get RDS on polaris too, several people confirmed it works. Could you run APITest from the GFMAPI package to see if RDS packets arrive? Because that one uses the same API as PowerRadio.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=205753&d=1247788694
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ukdutypaid:
Yes, I noticed somebody has tried on a TC/Polaris, plus he's got the whole program displayed in his screenshot..

Perhaps, because mine is actually an O2 Orbit II, that I'm having issues.

I've tried the API test. (Installed on the device, not SD) and as you can see it's not pulling any RDS through but yes exactly the same as PowerRadio it does receive the radio signal.. So it would appear that GFMAPI isn't happy on the the Orbit II version of the TC/Polaris, at least..

I've got sound now (as well as RDS) using the other version of the XFM install, pity, I liked this.

Only query left is, perhaps GFMAPI needs to go in a specific location....

That's where all the clever people start a laughin, at me... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
Waitasec, theres the RDS count on your screenshot which clearly states 1568 packets arrived. So something definitely came in. APITest doesnt parse it as PowerRadio does, but its there and should increase on RDS data travelling in. I wonder why it doesnt make it through. Hm, i've to think on that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ukdutypaid:
It did it.... One one run of Scan.... However it only managed to pull the data, visible for two stations. This out of the whole bank...

I've no idea what I'm talking about here, but could it be something to do with how strong the signal is and the RDS 5-1 count, timing out. Therefore, not waiting long enough and then simply moving on to the next station.

Also, does it try and get RDS all the time, or only on the first time scan, or RDS comes all the time with the broadcast signal and it's simply not taking it in and updating the names/info... etc...

I've tried Cruise's skins and yes we're almost there, but the menu button, blend etc are all over to the right a bit.

Sorry, you know how it is. One get's all excited about things. Esp, if it's close, but not quite there....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
During scan there's a 5 second timeout when waiting for a station name to arrive. This is to limit scantime.

On normal play, RDS data is constantly collected and updates the display if appropriate. Preset button names are not updated automatically.

For RDS data to arrive correctly the station should have a decent signal strength, otherwise the packets are garbled and will be discarded. Look at the signal strength indicator (bars and value) and try to improve reception by moving the earpiece in different directions. On my device, i need a value of 8 or more to get stable RDS data.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ugumba:
That's really sweet! Looking forward to it. Your app is now a permanent fixture on my HD (currently with Topix 2.8.1) - I've never looked back to HTC's radio.

Do you have any plans to make use of the available screen real estate on WVGA screens? You should be able to squeeze in one more bank of presets there. The "banner" between the presets and the controls could fit between the 2 soft buttons at the bottom.

Or do you have plans for other features - like scheduled recording :-) ? It's kind of a bummer that the radio won't work without the headset attached.

Great work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6Fg8:
I have to make buttons dynamic first, which i'm currently working on. So maybe not in the next version, but one of the following.

I have plans for other features, usually i'll announce them on the first page. Audio recording is somewhat special, i planned to interface one of the available audio recording apps, but what i've found so far they are limited to speech quality and mono. So i'd have to build one from scratch which is capable of recording CD stereo quality. There are a bunch of question marks behind all this, its on my mind but will take lots of time with no success guarantee.
