Hi,

Today I used my player, and after I turned it on, there was the FM Radio menu item.  However when I tried using it, it went to a black Rockbox page but no FM radio options.
I did have to power off using the Battery on/off switch on the bottom to get it back up and running.

Hi,

Somehow I got the FM tuner working, altho I am not quite sure how.  I think maybe I accidentally did what eJorge mentioned about pressing one of the side buttons, altho I had not done on purpose.

The FM reception is really good.  I get about 10 presets loud and clear.  Your team did a really nice job with it.

After a few days of using RB, and trying out various builds, the FM radio support is very flaky for me....

So this or that and it works...change this or that and its only static...try something else, it works but with static.... battery power off and on...might work...might not...might end up at a rockbox screen and freeze...


When it works right, the radio is really solid !!  I have updated my flyspray item a few times....

Installed Build r24445 last night (Monday).

It seems like the FM radio functionality is muchly improved with this build.

The Radio playing is much more stable, and comes back after switching back and forth to the player software....

At one point the radio playing went away..but after going back and forth a couple times, the radio came back to life....

Definite step in the right directions !!
