rumour: FM radio dumped from X2 concept phone - XPERIA X1 General

I read that S/E will remove the FM radio from the next Xperia.
Any thoughts??

Except in one of the preview videos it's clearly shown. (Can't be arsed to find the video though)

the video is on se-first.com.
radio is there......

I was expecting a cab in here.
I'm most disapointed.

Disappointed by what?

I can confirm that the FM radio is in the final version, same as in prototypes. At least in the international version. Don't know if there will be again "America" X2 and if it is, then if the FM will be there or not. But for sure, the version which is going to be sold in the EU HAS FM RADIO

That's a good news nevermind.. radio on my phone is very useful in our country..

That would be nice
great, where can I grap it?
it's from the original china mobile P860, but i'm worried about the rip of 3G, because there is no 3G in China right now.
by the way, how to dump the radio existed in a phone, and write it back.

Maybe you should contact the author for further assistance
Hope, that helps!! Good luck!!

hi, dumping the OS means you dump the whole ROM. you can do that, and i'll help you to extract the radio out.
BTW, China has run 3G for quite a few years now. As a matter of fact, they've been testing the world's first 4G there!

I have this radio and think it's garbage. Half the time I have no signal at all and the other half only one or two bars.
1.28.405.1WWE
1.58.27.27
25.71.30.05W
Any idea for an upgrade?

Did you flash any other ROM/Radio before? A lot of people have this issue, try out the Murata Radio, maybe it helps you... you can find it in one of the two Poll Threads.

No, the phone had the current Bepe ROM in it when I bought it. The store flashed it. Will check the Murata radio as you suggest. Thanks!

k, then I guess, the previous owner flashed it and noticed the signal reception was low and so he sold it =) chances are high that you will get the original reception strength back

hi,
just a fact i want to share. early this year o2 delayed shipping of the cruise because of radio issues. my O2-TC is performing great all the radio related tasks. So do not touch your radio.
touch the rest of your TC.
Over.

No, not quite. The phone was for the HK market, had Wifi installed in the ROM, but I wanted one with an English language ROM, but with support for traditional Chinese. The store I bought it from brand new in Shanghai flashed it with Bepe's ROM.
Confused yet?
The store says the reception is dodgy because China only has 2.5G coverage and I should switch to 2G mode while in-country. I think I would like to try another radio ROM if the success rate is high.

Radio Thread for T-Mobile USA

Could we have a radio thread please that lists T-Mobile compatible radios?
I think the stock radio is not that good. I would like to try a newer and hopefully better radio for better battery life and reception.
Here are all the radio roms that work well (tested by me) and are safe to use. Sometime later I'll upload them to a FTP server for you to be able to download them directly, however, for now, visit this page:

Hey Guys, sorry for the delay. Here is a link for the Radio Roms for the HD2 TMO USA:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/RFg27UmU/Radios.html
WARNING- DO NOT USE 2.04.50.x OR 2.05.50.x - They WILL brick the tmous.
2.06.50.x
2.07.50.x
2.08.50.x
2.09.50.x
2.10.50.x
2.11.50.x
2.12.50.x

I have 2.08.50.08_2
Is that a good version or should I switch to something else? Don't know if this effects it but my HD2 is unlocked on AT&T's service.
battery and signal results vary from person to person, phone to phone. you just have to suck it and see.
2.09.50
well i am using the 2.09.50 and seems to have a good signal and battery is good so far. will continue to test. will post my full opinion monday.

Just got my HD2 unlocked, so I will try with the latest one, and work my way back to the next older one if my batti life or signal (dropped calls) does not improve. I remember having similar issues with my TP2 until later when lots of tools and utilities were available.
thats funny. I was going to upload all the TMOUS compatible radios for this section and you already posted a thread. make it easier for USA people to update there radio's

lol. Did that because the stock radio seems to suck.
Also did not want to brick the device.
Edit: Nevermind
2.09 is the one released with 2.11 stock rom. i run this radio and reccomend it to match the 2.11 base in my rom.
So far it performs well in all respects.
i have been using Radio 2.10.50.08_2 and been getting excellent results. i run bt all day all night with 3g and i have 5 email accounts that send/receive every 5 min with all the other sense stuff running update as soon as possible and i am having my battery last all day compared to half a day.
if you want i will upload all the working TMOUS radios that are compatible so everyone can grab it from this section.

Yes, I have. But I am looking for FM Radio, and not internet radio. Slacker and nanogroove are internet dependent applications.

Your questions is not being understood, you asked for an alternative to the FM Tuner on the HD2 which would only be your current music and slacker app. What other radio would you like? If you are asking for a FM radio and you do not know that the HD2 has a FM radio built in you need to do some research and reword your question.

Yessir. His best bet would be to just load all his music and use the music player. I don't this there is an fm radio app out there.
I think the OP request was pretty clear, they are looking for a different FM Radio app than the stock one.
BTW, I haven't seen one anywhere but that doesn't mean there isn't one. You might have more luck asking in the Regular HD2 Themes and Apps forum.

His question is worded correctly and the question is valid. It's you who have problems understanding.
So let me re-phrase it for you.
Different frontend application for the build in, hardware FM radio.
Know any? If not, don't bother to answer. Nobody needs your attitude.

Thank all for the help. I will continue my search for this FM radio alternative, since the build in radio is not very good . If I happened to find one, I will definitely report back to you guys.

Does it have FM Radio?

I looked at the specs for OnePlus 2 and did not find FM Radio mentioned on their site.
Can anyone confirm?
I have also asked OnePlus but no response yet.
No. It doesn't have FM.

No FM Radio, from a one plus 2 owner.
However, it's also weird to choose phone just thinking about FM radio. 2016 is coming.
