Sorry for the wallpaper. Don't all guys like pictures of girls as wallpapers?

Now that's weird. I have the FM radio, and have tuned it in. But when I go to 'add shortcut' it doesn't show up! Is it time for Mo's first reboot?

(love the wallpaper - haven't really played with that much yet!)

One reason, I've noticed, that things don't appear on that list are because they are already on some other home screen. Could it have appeared on one of them?

I also have it on my add shortcut list so it can be added.

Remove? Reinstall from e.g. maemo.nokia.com / Maemo Select where I got it?

You are a genius. And I am most definitely a bear of very little brain.

I have FM radio installed, but it has stopped working. Any clues? I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've noticed mine no longer has the menu bar at the top, and I have to ctrl+backspace to exit.

My receiver doesn't work either and I've tried asking (in the wrong threads, I admit that), but no one seems to know what's up. I have no top menu like you and I am unable to select any frequencies. I can scroll the "background" with the bars, but the selected frequency never changes. Unless I pull out my headphones.

But even when I pull out the headphones and select 91.1 (a working frequency where I live) and put the headphones back in, I hear absolutely nothing, not even static. It's like the tuner isn't even active.

Have you installed Fennec? There's a known conflict between Fennec and FM Radio, which will be fixed in the next version of FM Radio.

That must have been the problem I had when I first tried the FM radio then. Cheers.

Haven't re-installed Fennec since I flashed to the new firmware so I tried FM radio again and it worked fine indeed.

On the UI side of things, I think that the user should be informed in some way or another that it is normal that bluetooth switches on when the application launches and that radio won't work if they switch off bluetooth.

I initially didn't know that the FM receiver and bluetooth were on the same chip (I only learned that later by reading this thread). There's no indication of that anywhere (not even on the application description page in the catalog). So when I saw the "Bluetooth switched on" system message displayed after having launched FM Radio, I assumed that it was some sort of bug with the application. I of course immediately switched off bluetooth... and the FM radio stopped playing. After that, it took me a while to get it to play again. Manually switching bluetooth back on didn't work. Restarting the application didn't work either (it launched but radio didn't play). It took quite a lot of switching bluetooth on and off, starting and restarting the FM radio app and plugging and unplugging the headphones before the FM radio eventually started to play again (not sure what was the trick to get it to work again).

I'm guessing I won't be the only user puzzled with the Bluetooth message and that I won't be the only one who will instinctively switch bluetooth back off straight away. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the dependency on bluetooth, it would be worth displaying a message somewhere (perhaps on first startup) letting the user know about this.

I uninstalled fennec, uninstalled FM Radio and reinstalled FM Radio. Didn't help, so I suppose fennec tainted my system. Shame, because I can't be bothered to reflash the whole system right now. I'll use FM Radio in the future.

Is there a bugzilla entry or something with some details of this? It might be useful for people trying to un-break their systems.
