Hi!

I bought Nokia N900 (MENA version) from Bahrain. Yesterday I arrived the United States and updated my device to the new firmware here. Today, I tried listen to my musics through the FM transmitter but no luck!!

Is this a software bug? or the device is not compatible with the US standards?

You did turn on the transmitter and set a frequency and then tune the same one on your radio correct?

Also did you have the device VERY close to your antenna as the broadcasting strength is not very high.

Yes. I tried channel 88.1 and 88.5 and not luck at all!!
Yes, I tried everything!! I bumped up the strength from 112 to 118!!

When I used the FM transmitter while I was in the Middle East, it was so clear.

same phone, but different firmware and car. Can you try it again on the same car?

read some of the post here. someone commented here that a 'cheap' can could have better reception. Probably radio can reach the antenna better.

I can't try it with the same car (because that car in Saudi Arabia )

By the way I tried the fm transmitter with two different cars (Ford and Toyota)

I just tried mine and thought, damn he's right. I didn't check the level but it was very low and full of static. Then I ran the script to set the level to 118 and it was just like it was before.

So before the update. I sounded good and went real good with the level to 118. Now it's inusable initially and the script makes it sound real good as before. It seems like the initial level is lower. Ohhh I had WiFi on as well. I think that runs the level down to 93 or something.

Did you have wifi on?

any reasons why that fm-boost script is capped at 118? why not 133 or 42?
