V1.2.0.1 is out now.....

Version history
v1.2.0.1
- bugfix when number of stations exceeds number of presets during scan
- initial scan after install is now optional (you will be asked)

v1.2.0.0
- "replaces font" bug partially fixed. While PowerRadio is running, font is still replaced. On exit font will be switched back
- volume bug on start fixed
- fixed volume display bug, bar never reached 100%
- version string added
- country settings are now evaluated
- allows user defined scan sensitivity
- skinning support: limited support is offered, for details see skinning.rtf
- more preset buttons: added a bank-switch feature which allows for 9 banks of 15 presets. Selected bank is displayed beneath the volumebars as "FMx". To switch between banks simply tap the area above the preset buttons. You have to edit PowerRadio.ini manually to set the desired number of banks. Find the line "NumberOfBanks=3" and change it to your desire. After that, PowerRadio must be restarted.
- waitcursors are added where it makes sense. There is no waitcursor on exit of PowerRadio, wait at least 10 secs. before attempting to start any program that uses the FM-radio.
- scan: all presets are cleared when initiating a scan, except locked presets. RDS station names are stored during scan. some stations have scrolling or switching names. this can lead to unpredictible results. anyway you can always edit a station name manually by long-click on a preset.
- presets can now be locked, which protects them from being overwritten during a scan.
- power management added: most of the background processes are terminated when device is on idle. this may however need improvement.
- accidentially hidden SIP will be restored
- BETA: support for wired headset button. Run "HeadsetButtonHandler" to install / uninstall this feature. When HeadsetButtonHandler is installed and PowerRadio is running, doubletap the headsetbutton skips to next preset. If PowerRadio is not running it executes the default action (usually redial last contact).

Many thanks for this application.

I've installed it on my HTC HD but it does not seem to open up or play a designated station.
Only three stations were loaded and none seem to play?

Thanks.

No... and listening to what you say makes sense.

I know the 'built-in' radio states in order to use it you need to use the headset.
I assumed the reason was because of the player.

Are you saying it's the hardware that stops ANY player from working?

It's simple: headset play the antenna role. No antenna (headset plugged in) > no FM stations to listen!
The HTC HD FM radio didn't even start without headset. This one start but ... no use for it!
BR!
