[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Teej53214:
Just an FYI... I have an unlocked US Celluar TP2... The rom I am using does not have an FM radio program built in so I instaleld Power Radio 2.4.0.2 .... I tried both the "regular" earphone jack, the mini-USB earphone jack, and even both earphone jacks plugged in at the same time... All the reults were the same.. when I tried to run the program ,it simply said it could nto start the FM hardware (which typically means no hardware is present, please check with XDA for future updates)... Very sad.... but I will live.. my son has the GSM modem and his FM radio works great.. but he is envous of my "real earphone" jack.. so it is a tradeoff I guess...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Wish a CDMA phone had the FM radio....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] young0ne:
You wanna start some where? what does a computer need to run hardware? Answer Drivers. Start there and you find out all the answers.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Yep, try it, if you think it will work. I have given up, There are too many A$$holes who are very insulting who demand that it will never work who really need to get a life.

The facts are there.

1. HTC says the hardware is there, that is disabled via software by choice of the carriers (hoping to sell more mp3s I assume), This has been quoted more than once.

2. One person was able to tune in channels but, never heard audio.

3. Another person was able to get a response from the FM tuner on a device (at the hardware level) but, had to drop the project for other things.

4. It's a old phone now, all the experts have moved on to newer phones, so even if it was possable, no one really has interest in getting it working.

Drivers will not solve the problem, Windows Mobile as built in support for a FM radio and should have the drivers needed to run it. Windows Mobile can't use it because it cant see the hardware.

Everything thing assumes that it is from the boot up of the phone, Going back a little more than your computer saying there, it's more like the Bios to enable the chipset is where one needs to look. This is not a add-on card, this is a chipset, like your audio card on your motherboard.

This was disabled via the carriers, Verizon and Sprint...Wanted to make more money off their Music services so they had HTC disable it.

It's got to be in the SPL someplace but, no one has ventured there because it's very easy to brick a phone by playing in there..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
While I sympathize with you guys wanting your FM radios to work, I'd say it's a fair trade that you get a headphone jack in exchange. I would much rather the headphone jack. I never use the FM radio on mine seeing as you have to plug in to adapter plus the headphones to even get a signal. It's kind of a mess in my opinion.

Anyway, I have a buddy who works in a Sprint store here in New Orleans. I asked him about this about a week or two ago after seeing this thread pop up occasionally. He got back to me a couple of days ago after talking to someone in their tiered support. Here's the e-mail he sent me. I hope this clears up the topic. I apologize in advance for the disappointment. (NOTE: I edited out personal info and cleaned up his poor grammar.)

"Hey [buddy], I finally got an answer back about the radio you asked about. The short story is that you should just be glad you have the GSM version. [Mutual friend] is just left out in the cold, I guess. lol. Well, after talking to [tech support guy], he told me that he wasn't sure and transferred me to something like 20 [bad word] people before they even knew what the [potty mouth] I was talking about. I finally got on the phone with someone who knew their [stuff] and he said that Sprint wanted their music store to get sales so they decided not to include the radio on their version. He said he figured that [other CDMA carriers] thought it was a good idea, since they did it too. He also mentioned that he was pretty sure it was disabled either in the bootloader or the hardware wasn't connected all the way. [tech guy] told me that they had trouble on other devices where people would just re-enable the radios through the registry, kind of like yours, I bet lol, so they decided to have it disabled where you couldn't turn it back on at all. [soap -> mouth] THAT! Anyway, that's about all I know about it. It's like you said, though, it's a trade for the headphone jack. lol I know I'd rather that too! I'm good with my phone though. I don't need the keyboard. ...[message goes on about real-life stuff after that.]"

Anyway, this is basically what the conclusion seems to have come to anyway. I guess this isn't really new information, but I figured I'd at least try to get an answer since I know a guy working there. Sorry guys. :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Joeseph Mother:
If nothing else I love the way you edited the message.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Tripp-phpBB:
It is a disappointment but I hope this will settle people down about it. I have the Sprint version but I knew it would never work because for all the apps, chefs, roms and all the hacks and tweaks for this phone, someone by now would have figured it out. And also as I pointed out I read a post basically saying the same thing but I could never find it again. And the reason I say this is because of David. I understand your frustrations but you shouldn't say everyone's being "a$$holes" because people are being rational about the problem.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] :
Please see 2nd post for update.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] elander:
SO, there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all uh?! greeeat news, as I just switched to the sprint touch pro 2 two days ago. excellent welcome to me, lol, keep on with such a great work, we're all waiting for this!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
This is not directed at you or 99.9% of the people here or at PPCgeeks, there is a few people who clearly insulted and flamed people because they demanded that it would never work. A few people where trying to bring up the subject looking into it, and they did this to a few people. To the point where bans where almost passed out.

I think the word a$$holes fits perfectly for those who did that. That is where my furstrations lie with this subject.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Can't wait for more info here ! I guess I'm back !

Love the passion if you kept at it all this time.

Hope this works out, too bad baseball season is over...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Miami_Son:
They are not a-holes until you get it working and prove them wrong.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aijalon:
i wish i could help in someway but i have sprint but i may be able 2 donate a t-mobile tp2 does it need 2 b activated??
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Let me insult you and flame you on something you think is possable, you'd feel the same. I think the word I used fits perfect.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ScottSNX:
Count me in as being psyched this is still being attempted. I'd have figured a lot of the WinMo pros would have gravitated to the Android devices.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] briggsadmin:
Hope this works out. Keep up the progress!

Without iheartradio on winmo, to stream my fm radio show I have to use my TP2 to share wireless and then stream to my iphone(no service).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
mboguc,

You updated your post on the 10/30 that you got it working, do you have any updates ? A lot of us are watching this thread to see if we can get it working somehow on our phones...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] TRB01:
I'm extremely cautious about this. I mean if I had some how made the radio work where years and years worth of work of others had failed, I would be all over this board posting pics, vids, and instructions. I'm all for the possibility that we could have radio soon in our CDMA phones, but I wouldnt get my hopes up.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Any updates ? Dam he comes here 8-9 days ago, claims that he got the FM radio working on Verizon Touch Pro 2 then he does not visit or anything to give a update ?

I really hope you did get it working and no offence, after all the flaiming done by other people claiming that it will never work and it's impossable to get it to work, show a proof (a video or something that can prove it) or it didn't happen.

After all that, you come with Breaking news most people who have a CDMA TP2 are looking for and you disapear with only giving a little detail ?????? Come on !!!!!

My Bullsh*t sensor is starting to give me a warning !!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NeoMatrixJR:
Maybe he blew up his phone? Maybe he's still working code out. Sounds like it's a major hack-in a the moment and not really ready for use.

mbougc, if you can post us a youtube video and then keep at it. We appreciate your work!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] elander:
I agree with you, I was thinking that perhaps he tried a few too many mods on the bootloader at once and bricked his phone and now he thinks that if he posts something like that it would drive people´s b@llsh1t sensors crazy (lol) as he never showed us solid proof of what he claims to have achieved, maybe he is trying to get a hold of another tp2 just to try it all once again, or then again maybe it is a lie, but I prefer to keep my hopes high and give him the time to give us more info on the matter. We´ll be waiting for you FM wizard.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Tripp-phpBB:
I'm all for hopes of getting it working but I find it funny that after it's basically confirmed that the fm radio won't work for us, this guy suddenly comes along and says I got it working but hasn't detailed anything about it, any video or proof, and hasn't came back since. Sounds fishy to me.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
It's been a month and a half since the OP last logged on to XDA. That was when he posted about the radio working. Either he's enjoying his radio too much to read the thread or it didn't happen. I've got my fingers crossed for you all, but I wouldn't hold your breath on this one.

You CDMA guys are lucky enough to have a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack as it is. :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mstevens:
Wait... doesn't this make you an a$$hole by your earlier definition?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] :
OK SO MY PHONE HAS FRIED/MELTED AS OF NOVEMBER 6th. SO I AM SWITCHING TO DROID 2 TILL I GET HOLD OF ANOTHER TP2. THIS STUFF IS NOT EASY TO DO AND THERE IS A REASON FOR IT. IM SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU IN THE DARK BUT I HAVE OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON AND SCHOOL FULL TIME SO I DONT HAVE TIME TO LOG IN EVERY DAY LIKE MOST PEOPLE HERE. CONSIDER THIS THREAD CLOSED "FOR THE TIME BEING".
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
Post modified source code, or it didn't happen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Like I said, no offence. You gave a news that people have been fighting about for over a year and 1/2. Others still believe it's possable but, no real proof. So you give news that people were really looking to hear and came back every other day looking for a update but, you never showed.

This is almost one of the biggest news for the CMDA TP2 besides it being unlocked and a lot of people were watching. Again, no offience but, if you came here with this news, you should of at least given a update a week later (even let us know that your phone died). People were looking through this thread at least 2-3 times a week looking for a update.

Thanks for giving a update finally...I guess the quest is still on.

Your funny :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aijalon:
Lets start a bounty so we can get this working
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Or maybe just start one to get mboguc a used TP2 that works so he can continue his quest. He said his phone died so till he gets another one, it's over.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Oh, well, I guess the TP2 FM radio project is done for. The OP and the one claiming to have gotten it enabled just wants the MODS to delete this thread.

Just reminds me of how much I hate Verizon for disabling the FM radio...

mboguc, if you are really done and you did get it working, why not post what you did to give someone else a starting point where to go forward with it....?

If you don't then this project is over because no one will attempt to go forward on a Disco'ed phone (at least in some carriers)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mattinfl:
These are the things that will NOT work to get the FM Receiver working on CDMA TP2.

I know because I tried for a very long time.

1)Registry MODS

2)ROM Flashing

3)Replacement of various files related to the fmradio application, or the bluetooth chip.

4)Flashing a GSM ROM on a CDMA Device

5)Trying to hack the SPL to initialize the IRQ on bootup.. This is actually what needs to happen but by qualified individuals, as you can seriously mess up your phone.

Heres what I did.

I learned all about board support packages for WinCE and using Visual Studio.

I got my hands on a copy of IDA Pro.

I step-debugged the spl, in both the GSM and CDMA.

I was able to successfully communicatie through IDA Pro to the bluetooth fm reciever. The response code I got back from the reciever was "Not Initialized".

So what this is telling me based on the Broadcom SDK's i was able to dig up using the wayback machine, is that there is some additional instruction sets on power up of the device that are not being sent to the co-processor or processor. Picture it like this, the part that starts the FM Radio reciever is not turned on in the "Bios". The devices "bios" is used to start the various hardware components in the phone. Such as the memory, screen, phone radio, sd card slot, etc. Sprint simply told HTC to skip the loading/initialization of the FM Radio reciever.

So bottom line folks is that unless one of the Superior being such as oli, or cmonex decide they want to crack at it, then I dont see it getting done any time soon. I have a GSM TP2, the radio isnt all that. Now when I look back at it, it would not have been worth it if I persued it further.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Just what I assumed, thanks for clearing that up and the OP did too. To everyone is it POSSABLE to get the FM radio to work on CDMA phone, you just need someone who really knows what they are doing.

Through my whole quest here, I was really hoping someone who knew the ins and outs of programming these HTC phones(at the level of oli or cmonex, and a few others) would pop in here and take a crack at it. No one at a even mid level would be able to do this.

There are a few reasons why I really want it.

1. Sports (there is no way unless I want to pay extra to get streaming sports baseball games during baseball season), I really want to listen to the games when traveling.

2. Local info

3. Even if it worked fairly well, I should be able to listen to local sports without killing my battery like streaming would (streaming radio really kills the battery quickly).

the other reasons...

1. Verizon and Sprint thinking they can charge full retail for a phone (same price with or with out a contract as a AT&T Tilt2) and disable hardware because they think they can. Doesn't anyone see this wrong ? I have filed a FCC complant with Verizon because of this (this is not the first time they have disabled hardware on phones because they want to).

Does someone at these companies say, We will make more money if we do not give them features on their phone ? Really ? I can see older flip phones but, when you pay $200 for a phone and $350 if you cancel early (up from $175) the game has changed, so has the hardware and price. They need to give you everything you are paying for.

2. Because of the a$$holes on here and PPCgeeks who like to insult and flame people because they think something is right when they are clearly wrong.

Thanks for posting and I know it's a dead issue, there is no point to move on. It's now a old phone, in most areas no longer being offered.

Oh, well, I guess a WP7 might come with a FM radio and retire the TP2 is coming soon... just too bad.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Tripp-phpBB:
That still doesn't mean it can work. Like I've said 10000 times, I read a post where the chip isn't connected to the audio chip anyway, I'm not going to spend 3 years trying to refind that post. So as far as I see it, sure you can get the chip working but it still doesn't do any good if you have to physically solder something on the inside of the phone for the audio to work. I could be wrong but the guy seemed like he knew what he was talking about and I'll rest in peace with that bit of info.

Bottom line is the radio for the CDMA TP2 will never work. It's not worth the hassle, time and there are hardly any benefits. Just let it die already.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Didn't you read this thread ??? Really ?? Must people post stuff with out reading ??

The OP actually got it working and It's been confirmed that it's the issue... So Yes, it does work but, it was disabled in the bootup of the phone.

Incase you missed the post, I quoted it for you.

I only posted this because your one of those people who fits my descrption in the last page, aka a troll by saying "it will never work".
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
OP post modified source code, or it didn't happen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Getting the impression that vin255764 over at PPCgeeks is going to attempt to give the FM radio on the TP2 a shot. Another one is going to attempt at it, maybe he'll have some luck.

He's got a lot of released roms so he knows what he is doing but, not sure at the level this is at...

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/gsm-tp2-upgrades/130969-fm-radio-cdma-tp2-need-help-gsm-rom-chefs-10.html

Good luck Vin !!!! (if your reading here)

Mods if your looking at this thread, could you rename it ? (FM radio on TP2 progress or something of the sort)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ZigmaDK:
Hey

I just installed LeeDroid 1.7a and everything was fine. Also Gallery 3D.

But today when I tried to open the gallery and peek view an album nothing happened. It just did nothing like when you tried it on a 2.1 Gallery.

I have tried to install gallery3d, but 2 of the 3 APKs just say "Application not installed"

Does anyone have an idea what I can do to fix this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] oursoul:
I dont.

But I did notice that my gallery 3d shows all the pics pixellated when I pinchzoom so I ****ed it off.

Edit.. just found there's a new version out for Froyo, will try that in a bit :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ZigmaDK:
Am I really the only one with this problem?

I havne't done anything to the gallery, and then it stopped working with peek view. :(
[Droid Incredible General] gbenj:
The main thing I'm concerned about here is the time it takes to charge the phone.

What it seems like is happening is that the phone won't underclock like it did before froyo and it stays up above 500-600 mhz instead of much, much lower in the 200-300 range.

Can anyone tell me if I'm way off on this?

If I'm not, is there a way to test and see at which speed the processor is running, especially in standby?

Then, is there anything that can be done about this, or do we have to wait for the source code to be released and then for custom kernels to be developed that can help the phone be more energy efficient when charging.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
You could use Set CPU to limit the processor speed while the screen is off or charging.
[Droid Incredible General] gbenj:
My only concern with doing that is that when a task needs to be performed it would take alot longer to do it, and erase any positive effect of underclocking that way.

Does anyone know if this is a valid or known issue? Is anyone else seeing the same issue or know why its happening? Just looking for more info on this.
[Droid Incredible General] trvrlol:
Kind of off topic, but does setCPU work with the latest leak of Froyo?
[Droid Incredible General] overground:
I just have a setCPU profile set to 245/245 while screen off. Doesn't seem to affect anything in a negative way. SetCPU should work as long as your phone is rooted. Select "Autodetect" in device selection. Moving this to General with a redirect expiring in one month.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Keep in mind that underclocking will not work unless you disable the perflock. In setcpu, hit menu to do so. Its only per boot.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
thanks for the tip.. so I guess I'll have to disable perflock every time I reboot.. sigh..

Also, what does the "set to boot" check/uncheck option do?
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
You can set your default speeds with that option on boot. However, it will only work on perflock disabled kernels, and I haven't found a way to disable it in the stock kernel. Easy enough from source, but once its compiled, its a lot tougher, if not impossible.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I guess I don't want to deprive the device of it's full potential by underclocking it especially when I am using it... the processor speed being one of the main reasons why this phone stood out for me back then..

However, I do have the processor speed dip down to 245max/min when screen is off.. I think that should help with battery quite a bit yea? Also with the 245 max/min profile when screen is off.. I guess there is no need for an app killer anymore.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Thats what I am doing as well and the results have been promising. Just wish the perflock disable was permanent ;)

I requested it as a feature in the dev thread, but I don't know if he will add it.

Seems to me he just needs to insmod the module that disables the perflock at the same time speeds are set with the at boot time option.

Not that I know anything about programming.
[Droid Incredible General] overground:
Ahh yes...forgot about the perflock on your Sense devices. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
My understanding was having to do the perflock each time was intentional. Since it has a chance of crashing your phone, if it was permanent it would cause a permanent unrecoverable loop or something to that effect.

But I know nothing about programming either (WAY less than adrynalyne that's for sure), just remember reading that somewhere on the forums.
[Droid Incredible General] gbenj:
Didn't really intend for this thread to become a setCPU discussion, but got some good info out of it.

Was mainly trying to figure out WHY group doesn't seem to undertook natively and id there is a possible fix out there or at least looming.

That said. I'll be getting to a charger in a few minutes and anxious to see if this helps me with the charging issue as is seems to have with others.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Its true thats why it has been set up that way, and Im sure the dev did that for support reasons too.

Anything is recoverable though :D

Maybe the dev could add a secret geek code to unlock it for those of us who are stupid and wreckless :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kutthoat5150:
So after getting so many repeated messages of my sd card being damaged and having to format every time I reboot by phone I think it finally gave out and now I am stuck on the bootloader menu when I restart my phone. The sd card is formated but my phone is still not able to mount the sd card when I know that there is nothing wrong with it. Am I screwed? should I send it back?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
try taking out the sdcard and rebooting the phone without it in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kutthoat5150:
fixed you guys, I just swapped out my card for my girlfriends on her phone and it mounted, then just flashed the rom. I guess the card that comes with the nexus one is faulty or something, just going to go buy another one.

Hi all

after some great advice from miami_son I have managed to sort out the mess that was my programs start up page.

sadly i also managed to delete the link file for the file explorer program

try as i might (and being very thick) i cant get it back.

can anyone point me in the direction (or tell me how to do it) to get the file link back

many thanks in advance
