I had a similar problem for a while. What I found was that FMRadio.py was supposed to have a sym-link pointing to it from /usr/bin/.

Basically, open x-term, type:

Code:
ls /usr/bin/FM*
Among those, one of the results should be "FMRadio". This step isn't necessary if this is the same problem I had. If it isn't, then this step will make it possible for you to know if this is the same problem or not.

Anyway, if there ISN'T an FMRadio among the results, then you become root (there's plenty of tutorials/explanations on this forum if you don't know how), and type:

Code:
ln -s /opt/fmradio-wide/FMRadio.py /usr/bin/FMRadio
I believe this issue is only present in the latest versions of FMRadio, that let you listen in on all of the frequencies the hardware supports. Earlier version, I am pretty sure, had no such issue. As far as I know, this isn't a common issue either, but I may be wrong.

(After you do the above command, it should work. You may have to reboot, but I'm pretty sure when I did this I didn't need to.)

For me, the problem appears to be a bug somewhere between the radio apps (fm radio, qradio, C FM Radio, etc.) and those apps that shutdown the Bluetooth service to save power (longpress, savepress, Advanced Interface Switcher, etc.). FM Radio gets confused when the state of the bluetooth service changes while it is active.

Check if you can start the FM Radio immediately after a reboot. then check again after you have stopped and started the bluetooth service (say with Advanced Interface Switcher).

I can get the radio working again if I:
  • turn off the bluetooth service with Advanced Interface Switcher and wait 2 seconds
  • turn on the bluetooth service with Advanced Interface Switcher and wait 2 seconds
  • start FM Radio (or whichever app you are using)

There also seems to be a problem with the 2010.03.60 build so I am using the earlier 2010.03.20 build.

Try using the earlier build 2010.03.20 rather than 2010.03.60

Try QRadio it works more better than the FMRadio from the repository...

I've noticed that people have been having problems with their Nokia N900 not having radio after the PR 1.3 update.
I've managed to get my radio turned back on. Here's how. Please follow the instructions on the following MyNokiaBlog website except
flash the necessary .bin files and Z-Image files at the following associated sites:

http://mynokiablog.com/2010/06/02/ho...-v10-2010-19-1

Cut and paste into your browser the addresses from where to get the files that will re-enable your N900's built-in radio.

RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin from http://www.mrcrab.net/Nokia-Product-...ctCode=0580952


RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin from http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia...MC_MR0_ARM.bin


Download an image to make your N900 faster at 900 mHz -it defaults at 600 mHz. The operative command line is:

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-900mhz -f -R

zImage-900mhz from https://dl.boxcloud.com/bc/2/85c6e52...22cf97928fd9f/


Install the fmradio.install app from Maemo's Repository after you have flashed the N900 with everything else.

fmradio.install from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...mradio.install
