fm radio on cdma

armus · #1 (**permalink**) 04-08-2010, 03:40 PM

brand new to the tp2 (it arrives tomorrow) and was wondering if someone has fixed the locked fm reciever yet? I honestly was shocked when I found out the tp2 was missing this but I keep reminding myself I never use it on my Diamond. Still it would be a shame for such s nice looking device to miss such a basic feature.

i. see you fixed phone info but no to your question. theres a huge thread on it, think its a sticky or search for it

use this for streaming, best imo.

thanks Darren, I used streamcenter a long time ago on a pearl and it was ok. I never even carry headphone to use on my diamond so I know it really isn't a big deal. Is there anything else missing on the US cdma version of the TP2? I saw one post while searching that said the second camera wasn't installed, is that true? Im beginning to wonder if the TP2 us the best out there or if I should look at other phones. What do you think?

oh and what's this I see on some phones having a digital compass? Ive wanted a compass on my phone for some time and kept thinking someone should have one since we have gps. sorry this is a bit off topic.

I use Wunder Radio even tho its internet based. It grabs stations off the internet in your area. Its not free but its one of the best one out IMO

the TP2 is a solid phone. but there is always something better around the corner.

wait a second, I thought the CDMA didn't have a radio...

i found a post finally that spelled it out, the cdma bluetooth chip does not have an fm receiver so the hardware is missing. oh well. also seems verizon yanked the second camera. but of the phones they offer, the tp2 seems to be the best.

looked at the droid. the specs are never complete but looks like no gps? and no fm radio. I really hate trying to get info from a company.
