(1)- detection % is weak at times
(2)- lost sound after switch to browser to type this.
(3)- No automatic list scan function
(4)- No rotation support
(5)- Speaker doesn't work

1- Detection shows the signal strenght radio station has. If it is too low station will be skipped and has to be picked manually.

2- sound stops suddenly when cpu is pushed to max or a sound notification pops.

3- It's on todo.

4- I was providing portrait mode, but rotating layout increased the stops, so I abandoned it.

5- output script has to be fixed after installation, check first post for that and than it will work. You can also open it with leafpad, ctrl+a, ctrl +c, delete all text, save, close, open again, ctrl+v, save and il will work. No matter if I edit it with programmer's notepad on windows, it won't work when packaged.

@Zimon: after you use QRadio and remove headphones, plug in and out those again and mic should work again. Must be nokia ones since they must have mic line aswell. I'll try to fix it with forcing input from mic at app exit, as soon as I know which command to launch.

Re: [Announce] QRadio

Fantastic !!

Is exists a way to use phone speaker ?

I selected "speaker" in menu but no sound from the speakers ???

At least learn how to read the post before yours ;)

Hmm, ok. Normally I use only "normal" headphones without microphone when using n900 to listen music or FM-radio.

Using the "old" FM-radio application after Qradio also seems to fix this issue with microphone.

Also, the bluetooth-network problem is easier with FM-radio. After Qradio is quit, it disables Bluetooth and it has to be manually enabled again for example so bluetooth-network can be restarted or auto-reconnect again. With FM-radio, it does not disable bluetooth if it was enabled when the FM-radio was started. Either it remembers the state, or then it somehow uses FM+BT-chip differently.

Of course even better if somehow using FM-chip would not stop bluetooth at all, but I do not know if it is a hardware bug which cannot be tackled.

1- Probably it changes the amixer settings to use mic as lineIN. Adding this script may fix it:

Code:

amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Input Select' 'Digital Mic'

  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='PGA Capture Switch' off



  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Left PGA Mixer Line2L Switch' off

  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Left DAC_L1 Mixer HP Switch' off

  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Right PGA Mixer Line2R Switch' off

  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Right DAC_L1 Mixer HP Switch' off



  amixer -qc0 cset iface=MIXER,name='HP DAC Playback Volume' 0,0

As soon as I have more time I'll test it.

2- Which version are you using? I have fixed it with last version, if it didn't work for you than chmod -x the disablebluetooth.sh script in /opt/qradio. I had forced in previous versions bluetooth off to avoid earing radio while calling soon after the app was used. When I'll fix it as pointed above I'll get rid of that script in the code.

Probably the reason is because of windows style of making new lines? I think it's because of the carriage return which causes errors on shell scripts on linux.

It is the way the hardware works not a bug as such, although you do wonder why Nokia made the hardware so that both the BT and FM receiver had to be on at the same time. I

Re: [Announce] QRadio

It's likely they didn't. They probably bought the bluetooth chip and it just happens to also have FM capabilities built in.
