Hey guys,
I just got a tilt 2 and have been checking out all the stuff I can do with this phone. I tried using the fm radio application when I first started the stock att rom and it didn't seem to work.
Thinking nothing of it, I went ahead and flashed the energy rom to get some of the nicer things like sense ui.
Anyways, with the new rom, fm radio still doesn't work. Opening it just gives me the 'unexpected error' with no reason. I've tried installing power radio to see if an alternate application would work. Power radio gives me an error that it can't open the radio and it may not be supported.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to be able to use the fm radio on my phone =(
I believe only the Tmobile version has the FM radio. So it would be the Touch Pro 2, not the Tilt2 that has the radio.
My Tilt 2 has a radio on stock ROM. It works fine as long as wired headphones are attached to be used as an antenna.

See, that's the thing. With the stock rom, it had the FM radio application. I tried using it with some headphones and it still gave me the 'unexpected error' message.
Oh.. then I might have just misinformed you. My apologies..

My Tilt2 will actually tell me to plug in headphones if they aren't, as it uses the wire for the antenna.
Aside from that, I do know that the bluetooth drivers have something to do with the FM radio, did you install tomtom or another app that may have overwritten the bluetooth stack? I recall an older version of tomtom doing that to me, can recall if the error was the same, but the app would look like it was starting up and then crash. The problem went away when I flashed a new energy rom. I have since been careful about installing anything that might mess with the bt drivers.
Tilt2 FM Radio
I had the same problem with the radio not working when I first got my Tilt2. I also had a bunch of other programs screwing up. I tried settings, etc. Nothing worked. Talked to [email protected] for hours, What a waste, they are idiots. Finally, even though it was brand new I did a hard reset. This fixed everything. Haven't had a problem since.

I did install tomtom, which did give me the bttrayce.exe error that some have encountered. However, I found the fix for that by installing the new bluetooth files that some have found to work. My bluetooth seems to work OK.
Could I have not done something properly? Is tomtom still screwing with my fm radio?
Well, I solved the problem. I did a hard reset on my phone. (and upgraded to the latest energy rom while I was at it) FM radio works now!
I don't know if it was tomtom or some other anomaly, but it works now... I haven't reinstalled tomtom yet, so I don't know....
Can you please post the link to the rom you installed as i have the same problem with no clue how to solve it
For my HTC Tilt 2, the solution to the failure ("Unexpected Error") when trying to start fmradio.exe was make sure that BTTtrayCE.exe is running.
I had removed the shortcut to BTTrayCE from startup since I very rarely use a BT headset and never use any other BT functions.
Hello All.
I know this has been covered a little before through the search but im still after some advice.
I "upgraded" from my n85 to the HTC desire last week. I imediatly got the 2.2 update on there OTA and all was well and good. However i appear to be having issues with regards to getting a gps fix.
A-GPS apears to work fine and i can get a position on googlemaps within a a min. All well and good if it actually showed my proper location. So im sat there waiting for a gps fix. I.e. last night i was sat there for 10 mins on the moors in the car, frweezing my knackers off, and still nothing!
Sooo
if i reboot the phone i can get a gps fix within a min or so. But i have to do this if i want to use the gps which seems a bit rubbish to be frank and ive got the iphone boys laughing at me because theres fixes straight away.
So what am i doing wrong? how can i get a good fix from the off? Its spoiling anotherwise good phone.
I have this problem in Google Navigation also. As you say, after rebooting the phone it finds a fix pretty much straight away.
This is my biggest annoyance with the phone right now and I hope they fix it soon. Prior to 2.2 I didn't have this problem at all so I am sure it is a software problem.
Hmm i'm afraid there is nothing really to fix. My Desire gets a GPS-Fix out of any situation straight away within 3-5 seconds (outdoors of course)...
Maybe a different radio would sort out this problem? I`ve heard talk of different radios being better for some and not for others, Trial and error I supose.
O and my GPS fix seems rather slow too.
I also have significant delays in getting a GPS fix. I do not recall if it was the same behavior before I did the HTC OTA FroYo update.
I also notice that I never get very good "signal strength" (as measured with the app GPS Test) from any of the satellites, even when I DO have a fix.
Hello.
I recently bought a secondhand HTC Desire and I am having the same issue.
It has stock 2.2 on it and it can not get any GPS fix whatsover.
I have tried rebooting, taking sd card out and back in, taking sim card out and back in, etc. without any luck.
I have tried apps such as GPS Status, GPS essentials and GPS Test and they all either are stuck at searching for ever or show 0 visable and 0 used satellites.
How can I fix this issue? It is rather important. If I install one of the various custom 2.3 ROMs will it fix the issue?
There isn't Desire with vanilla Android. If it has stock FroYo, then it's custom ROM.

Sorry, my mistake.
I meant it has the official 2.2 Froyo with HTC Sense as far I can tell. The previous owner must have upgraded it to that.
Anyway, is there any way to get my GPS working?
Try to root, s-off then update the radio to the latest. Search the forums for info on how to do that. It's rather easy if you're a little versed with computers.

Done. Still doesn't work.
That's weird. It may be a hardware issue, then. Get GPS Status from the Market, install it and see what's going on under the hood. Does the phone "see" the satellites but can't get a fix or does it not "see" any satellites at all?
its not difficult understand if there is an hardware fault or not
run the latest froyo ruu, go out of ur house, enable internet connection, enable gps, open gmaps...after few seconds u should get ur exactly position with a possible error of 1/2 meters
if even after some minutes, and even in different locations/city, it doesn't show ur correct position, call htc and sent it to service with warranty.
solved
0 satellites seen and 0 satellite fixes.
According to the previous owner it didn't have the GPS problem before the 2.2 ota update, which would make me think it is software related.
Never trust the seller. Of course he/she will not admit that the product they've sold you has/has had issues. I would return it, to be honest.
I don't often use bluetooth but I don't ever recall having interference issues with WIFI until I got to CM7 and flashed the latest radio.
It's WIFI thats causing the issue, if I turn wifi off while I'm on a call the noise is gone.
Is my headset on the fritz, am I loosing my mind, or is this new with this radio version? Or all of the above.
Sidenote: Anyone know of an app that will automatically disable wifi while I'm on a BT call?
MT3GS, CM 7.0.2, Radio 7.9.35.10
hello good sir ok here it goes your running cm7 stable i see with the latest raido and that is great the problem is not with your phone more than likely could be but are you one of the unfortanate folks that has wifi connectivity issue ??? or does wifi work great for you as it does for me never had issues. the reason i ask is cm7 running the latest radio and latest everything lol is flawless however there is a licencing issue from google with android 2.3 cyanogenmod 7 with the wifi apk file meaning cm mod is using the wifi apk from 2.2 because there is no licence restrictions but for whatever reason on 2.3 they have that wifi apk file under licence for a one year period so that being said that may be the issue. or it could be your phone i have 3 mytouch slides mine wifes daughters and they all running cm7 stable clockworkmod and s-off and i have no issues with any i hope this helps and not just rambling good luck if need any additional info lmk thanks
No, that does make sense..
My wifi is a little whacky, but not nearly as bad as some folks describe. I've actually considered going back to CM6 a few times now.
My fiance has a MT3GS with CM6.11 and the older radio, I need to test my headset with that later.
I have just spent an absolute age with HTC tech support, and the answer to the few that have been suffering with no data via wifi is................send your handset in for repair.
I honestly have completely lost the will to live, no matter what i say to try and convince them the issue is software related as i can use 2.2.1 absolutely fine, it seems to completely be over everyones head, i even spoke to a manager, who after listening to everything i said, who then spent 3 minutes in silence came back with "broken wifi module"
Arghh, they now want to book my handset in for repair, which i am reluctant to do as they quote a turn around of 20 days currently, i dont want to be without a handset that long.
all i want is gingerbread on my handset and be able to use WiFi, 3G works perfectly
Has anyone had any luck in solving this? its not a router issue, i have tried 4 different routers, its not a signal issue (i have a full signal, and its not dropping the signal), i have tried every 2.3.3 custom rom and stock rom out there and still no data Via WiFi, tried different radio's, and different kernels,
If i go back to using the Android revolution 2.3.2 beta, it works fine, so its defo since the 2.3.3 update.
any help from anyone would be so gratefully recieved i will buy you a pint!
Hi there,
Have you flashed the matching RIL's for your radios? A similar issue affected me but it was only with CM7 and ARHD. I flashed the radio in my signature (good WiFi performance for signal and battery life) and the corresponding RIL and all was working after a couple of reboots.
Hope this helps.
i have indeed pal, really really struggling with this.
A work colleague has just completed his OTA update at work, same issue,
at least i know its not just mine
im wondering if its something to do with the wifi driver in the ota,
Actually its not just the ota, tried the RUU just now, same issue
any Dev's got any clues?
Mate,
I´ve downgraded the ROM as per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003), and now it is working perfectly. No need of gingerbread, I noticed that I do not need it anyway. Instead of that, my baby is alive and kicking againg.
Cheers.

im back on LeeDroid 2.2.1 custom rom and everything works like a charm, there isnt anything on gingerbread i need, but i want the option, i prefare the menu, but i can not be without WiFi. I have just sent HTC a humerous letter/email, i have spent hours on the phone with them today.
Sent LeeDroid a pm, see if he has any idea why this is, or if there is anyway to sort it
hopefully someone soon can come up with something, there are only a few of us with the problems, but even so HTC should release a patch or something to rectify it. A guy who has a T-Mobile branded device at work has updated fine, but myself and another colleague (both unlocked sim free devices from the carphonewarehouse) have the no data issue via wifi
i am losing the will to live
Hello,
quite a few months ago, I bought an HTC Desire phone. I got it for a quite nice price and I have chosen it because of its superb build quality and the cool display. BUT, just recently, I found out that both GPS and FM radio do NOT work
Well, now it is just a little too late to send it back, so I was hoping for this to be some software problem. Hence I decided too put a custom ROM on the phone.
So, I decided to put the AOKN or whatever the name, sorry, can't remember it... But still the GPS test app is showing 0 satellites. As in this ROM, there is no FM radio app, I have downloaded one from Google Play, but unfortunately still nothing.
Kindly let me know if there is something I could try, or the hardware itself is damaged... ?
Flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU to get it back to complete stock.
If the GPS and radio still don't work on full stock firmware, then you have hardware issue
(Make sure you do these tests outside and with headphones plugged in respectively)
Many thanks for your reply! I have started from 2.3.3 originally! Why do you think that it makes sense to go back to this version ?
I am testing the radio with the headphones plugged in, of course, about the GPS, I didn't test it outside, but other people tested it on the same phone and it didn't work and that's it :-/

It makes perfect sense to go back to stock to test hardware.
- Stock official firmware has no bugs regarding GPS and FM radio
- If GPS and FM radio do not work with stock official firmware, then you can rule out a software issue. It is very likely a hardware issue. You can then stop trying to 'fix' the problem by flashing custom ROMs...(these particular problems are radio related anyway)
You still need to test the GPS outside for sure....forget about custom ROMs / stock firmware etc. Apply the laws of logic and physics first...first your GPS must be ON (check it), and importantly your phone has to actually be able to 'see' the satellite above for it to work in the first place..............
For a sanity check, you should also perform the test with another working phone / GPS device at the same time to see if it picks up a signal, and if the Desire doesn't.
