Well, I've successfully managed to trick it: 
(Yes, I know it says it's disabled, but that's the point: This N900 usually has it enabled.
)
Release coming soon when I've cleaned up my code.

The transmitter is a V4L2 device at /dev/radio0.
Maybe this will help. I haven't done much with it, though. But I was able to set frequencies the V4L2 way. Then there's a mixer switch for FMTX.

You can bypass part of the middleware that way indeed, but I guess it's nicer to be able to use the fmtxd or you lose some of the pulseaudio "goodness".

In my mind you are now competing with Nokia Care as I'll hopefully hear from them tomorrow - but unless I'm being highly pessimistic, I can see them telling me I need another repair! I hope they can sort something with a quick program or software patch, but I don't know if they're likely to give me anything to sort it.
Oh well, I'll keep you updated, though anything to stop me sending the phone off for another month of waiting would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there,
I'm one of those unlucky guys that live in countries where the FM transmitter is disabled.
I know this IS illegal, but I wan't to try it. So, mods, if this is against the rules..
It may be illegal to have the transmitter on in your home country, but there is definitely use cases (travel to other countries) where enabling FM transmitter on your localised firmware should be clearly within applicable law.

I'll try run some of those things mentioned and let you know.
Could my replacement device have been meant for another country? My IMEI no begins with 3569, but my original one with the enabled transmitter did also.
