Rds is working, be sure the station you are on has rds stream.
About the glitches, have you removed the background.png file?

Yes it can be translated and it's really easy. I can provide you the translation file to edit with Qt Linguist since I don't know any french other than je t'aime.
Thank you with your answer you fix all my problem.
There was no background.png in /opt/qradio so i create a link like
this :
ln -s /opt/usr/share/themes/marina/mediaplayer/background.png
in /opt/qradio
Now there is no glitches and i can see RDS ...
I notice that i loose the sound when i receive an email notification.
I need to exit qradio and launch it again to fix the problem.
Thank you to send me the file to translate.

For the slider, there is FMRadio to tune it using fingers. Manual input and stations list can be accessed from menu. Last one can be accessed from the bottom left button aswell.

Will type some instructions at first post when I'm done fixing some scripts.
Hmm. I have default theme and background is corrupted/glitched right out of package. Weird.

My point was to give you ideas on how to make it user friendlier. I know all the settings and stuff QRadio currently is able to do. Less taps/clicks -> better usage. FMradio app is bit slow to use. Whole point in my idea is to have slider -> instant update of frequencies shown under it (FAST) -> after finger is raised then app tunes to that channel.

See at 13:58, there jacekowski found the spot where to change the DEFAULT_REGION within the binary of bcm2048 module. Skyscraper tried to change it to japan-wide, but it didn't work.
I also tried this approach, but it didn't change anything, I still get a "VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY: failed: Input/output error"
Interesting...
Can somebody explain what's written in
http://do1not3panic8.blogspot.com/20...a-n900-fm.html
?
Google Translate confuses me completely.
I just want to know: success or failure, if success, then how...

EDIT: I'm experimenting with v4l2-ctl in normal range.
I have successfully set and read frequencies of transmitter and receiver.
(Though I have had several "VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY: failed: Input/output error" before I made radio work, all this with normal binary and normal frequencies)
So, how do I change a binary and what binary should I change?

For me it looks like it doesn't work, as it seems that he is just playing around with those /sys/..../region settings. That didn't work for me. But you are right, GoogleTranslate is really bad with japanese. Maybe here is some japanese guy who can tell us what it says?!

Get the file /lib/modules/current/radio-bcm2048.ko from your device, open it in a hex editor, go to position 0x2774. According to jacekowski this is the position which holds the DEFAULT_REGION value. There I changed 0x02 to 0x04 and put the file back to my N900.

After that change, v4l2-ctl shows the japan-wide's range by default:
Code:
Tuner:
	Name                 : FM Receiver
	Capabilities         : 62.5 Hz stereo 
	Frequency range      : 76.0 MHz - 108.0 MHz
But when I try to tune to a frequency lower than 87.5, it still fails:
Code:
Nokia-N900:/home/user# ./v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio1 -f 95.8  
Frequency set to 1532800 (95.800000 MHz)
Nokia-N900:/home/user# ./v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio1 -f 86.5  
VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY: failed: Input/output error
Nokia-N900:/home/user# ./v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio1 -f 90.0
Frequency set to 1440000 (90.000000 MHz)
The problem seems to be somewhere deeper...

Wow, awesome interface change. Much easier to use and looks real clean.

Seems like the BT problem for me has been fixed. Doesn't turn off after so long and closing and restarting goes without hiccups.

Problems:


- detection % is weak at times
- lost sound after switch to browser to type this.
- No automatic list scan function
- No rotation support
- Speaker doesn't work
- can't tune lower than 87.5Mhz

Advantages and benefit:

- more reliable than FM Radio
- better user interface
- smoother user experience
- digitally tune
- informative
- can do much more in the future. This app has potential

Using Qradio "kills" my microphone and I have to reboot to get it working again.

Anyone has the same problem?
Easiest to check if microphone is working, is using VUmeter.
