All of a sudden my fm transmitter has stopped working. I used it a few weeks back and it was all working fine and smooth.

I have done a few software updates in the mean time but nothing should have caused the fm-transmitter to fail

I removed and re-installed the fmtx-faker but no success

I play a song in media player and I enable transmitter. The audio from n900 stops but I cannot tune to the transmitting station.I can only hear the "screeech" in that frquency..Tried multiple devices

Note: My usb charging port broke and my n900 was sent to service center 3 times to get it fixed..(it failed twice when fixed). I had strictly advised them not to update the device software-so no update was done to software

Question: Can anything get messed up while they re soldered the usb port or is this a pure software issue?


if nothing works I am planning to reflash but I just want to try options and suggestions before I can flash

Edit: I also tried the below three commands and I dont get any errors

/usr/bin/fmtx_client -p 1
/bin/echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
/opt/lfocus/v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -f 88.1



Waiting for help

Thanks

EDIT: Its working but a i literally have to stick the receiving device to my n900 for transmitting the signal !!!!!

the range of transmitter is less than 2 cms with FM boost.. Weird!!!

Did the Nokia service guys screw up when re soldering the USB port since i read somewhere that the signal goes weak when charging(I am not charging while transmitting)

Guys..Please help me figure out if its a hardware or software issue
