Re: N900 Radio Transmitter: ways to amplify the radio signal
 
All this while n900's FM transmitter was not giving me good results in my old ford fiesta car with antenna at top of car on front side. Based on the inputs from various threads here, i did the following and got very good results today
1. Cleaned the car's antenna with cloth. Lots of dust was there.
2. Connected the micro USB cable with n900 and left the other end near the car stereo.

It worked excellently with very negligible disturbance on a 40 min drive from Uxbridge to Bracknell. And I didnt increase the FM transmitter power and left it at the normal113.

I used 103.5 frequency(South West London) in n900 and there was no issues.

I also installed RDS software but I had no luck with that either. What am I doing wrong ?
Most likely your stereo system doesn't support RDS text but only static RDS station name (NOKIA). Many car radios don't have RDS text to not distract the driver. Don't laugh, that's the official recommendation by the RDS consortium. :)

Becasuse N900 cannot broadcast on the 87.9 which is the free wave here in states. Mine is not that strong where my friend can tune in the same channel when they are driving behind me but I do not need to touch the phone and antenna of the car.
(*spoiler alert*first time poster)

really 89.1 works for you? i will have to try too and see how it goes i am in the south dallas area and for some reason if i go to north or too south i have to switch from 95.7 and 101.5. i will let you know or pm me =).

Well, I know for a fact that my car stereo supports is because when tuned to the radio station, it shows artist and song title along with the station name.

Honestly, nothing was changed (except a bugtracker field). It was an attempt to workaround the broken packages interface.

If anyone can get into the packages interface for fm-boost and promote the package to testing, please go ahead and do it. I only get timeouts and errors when I try.

I guess I could try renaming it boost-fm and see if I can promote that one... What an ugly workaround that would be...

Hoorah! I was able to get in to the package instance page and promote the package tonight!

So, everyone, you can now vote the package into Extras.

Re: N900 Radio Transmitter: ways to amplify the radio signal
 
I saw somewhere that there is a new version of FM Transmitter widget that integrates this script with the widget. Are you planning to keep a separate version as well ? Personally, I think it would be better to consolidate the resources and both developers to work together to have one app to do both things :)

ajamils: Sounds good. I don't mind getting rid of this hack, especially since I'm getting hassled about it not being "user friendly" in Extras-testing.
