I think independently means just that they can operate at the same time without interfering each other. The driver doesn't load correctly if Bluetooth isn't powered. And the command to power up the I2C is also a HCI Bluetooth command, so it needs a working Bluetooth system running.

OK, the same question from newbie given other way: is it possible to block physically Bluetooth from sending data for example ? (excluding some methods like playing with kernel modules or something similar)

Once again: it would be nice to be "invisible" when listening FM radio

You can operate Bluetooth in hidden mode so that it won't make a connection unless you initiated it on the N900.

Maybe someone will find a way to not show the BT symbol and maybe even disable it completely for applications. But I don't know of a way to achieve this.
Powering down BT while the FM radio is playing gives weird sounds, so this would not work.

Does this work fine every time you try?
I just added a "sleep 1" behind the "echo 1 > power_state" in the fmradio-tool script and now the program works reliable for me. It really seems to be a power-on timing issue.

Ah, great!
But I think a little bit of sleep after powering up the I2C before loading the driver would be good, too.
I'm going to update n900-fmrx-enabler.

Btw, the fmradio-tool script is not used by the FM radio app, or anything. It's just a root-only command line client for testing the radio, using the sysfs interface.
The FM radio app OTOH uses the V4L2 interface.

OK, here we go for the sublimely ridiculous, anyway to buffer the stream so that you can go back and hear something you may have missed? Not much of a buffer, but something. After spending a lot of time with a DVR, I keep reaching for the back up key while listening to radio in the car!

single greatest idea yet, nothing worse then listening to a great song, waiting for the presenter to tell you the name of song/artist and you miss it..

:'( i just wanna hear it one more time!
