Re: N900 Radio Transmitter: ways to amplify the radio signal
 
I found a new feature in FM-Transmitter...The transmitter now displays the artist and song on the radio display in my car...so no need to write a new program for that...All thanks to the new firmware from Nokia

EDIT: ...when the packages interface is not broken... :(:(

My appologies RogerTHAcctant. It was in "Extras-devel" all along but will soon be in "Extras-testing".
It must have been the spiffy new icon qole configured that tripped me up.

But at least your N900 is now somewhat safe from random lighting strikes. :p

Lol cool thanks, I was disabling and re-enabling my extras testing repository and updating it. I thought maybe someone took it down or i didn't know if my apps weren't updated or what not.

I could just enable the extras devel, thanks for your response though!

finally tried out the script and I'm happy to report that it works like a charm. I have not used my car cd player in last two days because I've just been using N900 to play my mp3s via fm and its been working great :)

Thanks to the author of FM Boost.

please help! ahh... i want to get my fm transmitter to work too..

I activated extras-testing repository, but I can't find it even by searching it, and going down the "all" listing in alphabetical order. Does anyone one else have this problem by any chance?

I too am looking for this app, but can't find it. Could someone point me to it a bit more clearly? Thank you.

It's in extras devel. Do you need more advise than that, or do you know how to find it?

Re: N900 Radio Transmitter: ways to amplify the radio signal
 
The app is called fm-boost and it is in Extras-devel.

I am trying to promote it to Extras-testing but there is a bug in the webpage, and I'm waiting for them to fix it.
