FM Radio Function

Hey guys, you will have noticed that your admin has been away for awhile. Both bryce and myself have just gotten into our holidays so we will be spending a lot more time around the site and spending well needed time doing some maintenance work. This site has certainly grown since it's debut last year, and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow over the years.

Also we have 2 n...

We have posted a mini-forum for any other CECT phone models, we will make the consideration of making the CECT P168 Forum a CECT forum, but not in the near future, So all other CECT phone users, go check it out!

With the number of members rapidly increasing, we have decided to put a rules section on the forum, it is located here.

So make sure you read it, to save yourself any hastles.
Thanks Smile

I bought the P168+ that was advertised with FM Radio support. I can't get that feature to work and I can't find any information on how to make it work. Do I need a custom headset or something? I can't get a real answer and I've spent hours on google trying to get this to work.

Thanks
matt

Hmm. First I do not think the "P168+" came with the FM Radio.

The P168S (LH01) is the only one within the Family of 168's that has that option. I could be wrong.

I also have read that the reception is really bad. indoors.

haha yeah theyre a bid dodgy like that, like with our "2.0mp" cameras.
theres a lot of things you wont find that are advertised on the phone.
The ad for mine on ebay said that it had WLAN, that would be good...

I've read somewhere that the static problem can be resolved by using the headphones. Wether they act as an antenna or what I don't know.

Now i am curious, after flashing the 168+ with the C firmware, does that also mean the radio option is available?.....lol

Judee since you flashed yours, Do you have radio now?

Edit:

I must be blind, second time i am editing this. I just saw that tdinc said only the S has radio. Did anyone get a hold of that firmware yet?...lol

I have been looking but I don't see a radio button anywhere. Didn't know it had a radio. Either it didn't pick up when I flashed it or it doesn't have it. Sorry. I am still searching. LOL

I have the P168C+ phone and also have the FM Radio problem. I only get static even with the earphone plugged in. It can't seem to scan radio stations too. The earphone works when I play MP3's. The phones speakers work too. Could it just be a defective earphone that once plugged in can scan and save presets? help!
