Looks like fmtxd reads the fmtx_pwl block from CAL.
So comparing the contents of that CAL blob between different devices might explain whats up with fmtx working vs not working.

Also note that it only seems to affect the devices from product region: english america.

Can you guys who have disabled also upload this CAL area in a zip?

You can get this CAL area by issuing these commands:
"root" or "sudo gainroot"
"cal-tool -G fmtx_pwl>/home/user/MyDocs/fmtx_pwl"

This will create a file called fmtx_pwl in MyDocs, root of mass
storage. Then zip it and upload here. Can someone with a working FMTX do the same and please state if FMTX works for you or not in the filename of the zip. Thanks

Thanks Pichlo, why your cal-tool doesn't work with -G is a mystery to me. Guess different version or something like that... Thanks for the other output.

We are still looking into what is causing this. If you have an idea or know more about the fmtx please contact us on #maemo-ssu @freenode.

Also can everyone who is experiencing this bug post his osso-product-info from terminal

Just type "osso-product-info" in x-terminal. Thanks in advance.

The USA regional version of the official N900 PR1.3 firmware image (which I use) has those FMTX lower frequency ranges inaccessible by default. FMTX Faker has always been necessary for me to be able to use those frequencies.

Problem was/is, the normal frequencies didn't work too

That is true . It had always been the case with the US firmware that:

1. Stock Firmware: 88-108 enabled and works
2. Replace with custom fmtxd: 76-108 appears but nothing works
3. Install FMTX-faker: 76-108 enabled and works

Thanks for clarification, we nailed it down that this bug is only existent on US devices

But it's even deeper than just a firmware CAL area is involved as I have global firmware on USA device, and still ran into this problem...
