Found this today: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6792#c9

When FM transmitter is on, the following sys file is present:

/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level

You might could try fiddling with this value and see what happens. Of course you do so at your own risk and I take no responsibility for you frying device or getting frog-walked/fined by the FCC.

Also would be curious to know what the value in this file is for different people:

With fm transmitter on do (this will not change anything, it's just a way to see what the current level is):

Code:
cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
And report back what number comes back, I get 112 (also the number referenced in that bug report)
