radio issue on sansa c250 with rockbox 3.0 release
Chronon:
I think enginerd is referring to pixelma's suggestion to boot into the OF and use the radio and then shut down from there to get the radio to appear in Rockbox's menu. I don't think enginerd means that there's no radio in the OF.
Llorean:
I'm just confused how "having a new feature some of the time" is something not to like. It's certainly better than not having the feature at all, right?
We can all admit it's not ideal, but to go and say it's something he doesn't like about Rockbox...

No, there is no radio in the OF:

Chronon:
Maybe I did a bad thing by referencing enginerd's comments, then. Enginerd has a different model and apparently there's a bit of variation in the appearance (or lack thereof) of FM Radio in Rockbox's menu. You may ignore enginerd's comments and mine in this thread -- or prune them out for clarity, at your discretion.
enginerd:
Sorry was away from the computer for awhile. I have a US e280 It has the FM on the OF... However the only way i can get RB to register the radio is to plug into the USB cable then after it shows a connection (RB reboots to OF for USB) unplug and let it reboot into RB then TADA FM radio in the menu and functioning.
If i just boot the player into RB from off, it will not give me the radio option in the menu and the debug shows no HW detected. Yet i can immediately boot into OF and it will have the FM without fail.
The frustration comes from that fact i much prefer RB to OF but i listen to the FM daily, oh well still a great product and worth the hassle. I am in awe of the ability of those that can program something like this.
On a side note my wife has a c250 i will test it when i get home and report if it has the same issues as the e280....if she will let me ;D
