First, how do you change the region? I haven't seen such a button in QRadio itself (0.2.0?), and since PR1.3 I don't see the /sys/class/.../region file at all. I can cd to the directory, but echo and touch all refuse to create file 'region' or to write anything to it.

EDIT: Thanks for explanation.

Second, I would be glad if the feature was finally implemented.

I have tried once to unlock FM receiver in FM Radio
http://maemo.org/packages/view/fmradio-wide/
but I know neither python nor gtk, so only scale became unlocked; the radio doesn't start to receive at lower frequencies, as far as I can guess. If anybody knows proof to the contrary, he is welcome.



EDIT: You say it's a bug, and after changing the region the scale can go to lower frequencies but the signal isn't received. Ok, you obviously know your code much better than I know code of fmradio, so it's not your bug, it's bug of driver.
It sets region once, and doesn't read it later?
Why it sets region to one value and not another when radio app is opened first time?
Is this region hard-coded into driver, or is there some other region file, which is read before creating /sys/class/.../region file?



Note: After I installed QRadio and opened it (no headphones inserted), espeak and media player went mute, and microphone went deaf (VU meter). Will have to reboot.

EDIT: Ok, will try to plug in/out headphones to see whether it resolves the problem.
