I think there is likely confusion about versions, reading through the thread. As I see it (based on dates of posts etc), only the one in

will correctly evaluate if FM Boost is running. YoDude posted an earlier version.

Perhaps I am wrong?

HA
I'm thinkin' your wrong but I could be mistaken.

I believe I posted that same version.

Regardless, all posted variants do the same thing. I don't think there is confusion if one follows the thread which I will now sum up as of today:

qwerty12's
Code:
.so
is a status menu app that replaces your OEM app so that FMTX remains resident in the status menu after FMTX has been turned off...

It removes the extra steps that were needed to activate FMTX cold.
You no longer will have to go to settings first to fire it up.

I then asked qwerty12 if FM Boost could alo be applied when his FMTX was activated from his widget/applet/(whatever you wish to call these dang things) variant.

And even though I'm sure qwerty12 had better things to do, he graciously coded a version that did exactly that, provided that you already have FM Boost installed on your system.

At that point 2 steps were now eliminated when you used qwerty12's FMTX variant. The original step that required you to first go to settings, and now the additional step some had to take in order to dial up their FMTX power level. Savvy?

Now being the PITA that I usually am, I remarked that this new version tossed up the Hildon notification banner every time a new song is played with Media Player. Even from cued songs in a playlist on the already ruining Media Player.

Rather than telling me to: "Suck it up, monkey boy. I got better things to do", again qwerty12 graciously provided a solution.

This is the version that you pointed to and the one I believe I posted when his server was down.

***

Now to sum up my sum up:

- If the FMTX status menu app does not appear in your status menu after a reboot... You don't have any version of qwerty12's
HTML Code:
.so
variant installed.

- If FMTX does appear in the status menu but does not increase your TX power when it is used or if TX power reduces when the charger is plugged in, then you could be using qwerty12's first version that was kept on qoles server.
However, the more likely scenario is that you do not have FM Boost installed and you need this to be, in order to take advantage of this feature.

- If after every song you see the FMTX notification banner after you have qwerty12's variant installed, you have the first variant version and should now replace it with the latest variant version that has recently been made available again. The one that you pointed to in your post.

***

Now to further confuse anyone that is not used to seeing a working thread around here and may just fly by to read the last post....

Using qwerty12's variant in any version has allowed me to easily see that (on my device at least) TX power level is reduced not only when the charger is plugged in, but when other Hildon events occur as well.

Automatic email downloads and their notifications, and invoking HAM are just two events I have discovered so far.

Hopefully this thread will continue working until the code that is responsible for this common behavior is discovered and corrected.
