Use the FMboost app - helps ALOT!

Had the same issue until I tried the boost, which sets the tx to 118 - still inaudible in some vehicles, but works really well in others.

i've got the same problem as well, and couldnt find a solution for it either (from a previous thread - cant seem to find that thread now though). so i'm stuck without it.. i imported the N900 from the US and i live in Australia, so no chance of me claiming warranty here :(

someone suggested pressing the left part of the keyboard (near the Ctrl or Function keys) and that has worked. maybe you can give that a shot?

Dunno if it helps, but the n900 powers down the transmitter when charging. You need to use FM-boost to boost it back up again once charging has started.

Execute the following commands as root from command line and see if you get any error message

Code:

/usr/bin/fmtx_client -p 1
/bin/echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
