Thumbs up [App] Pissed that VM didn't include FM radio in stock? Spirit FM Radio

Just a shoutout to those apk makers [Mike Reid] out there. Try Spirit FM Radio, an android market free download ($10 unlocker for best results). Packing it in my new rom. Nice.

Thanks insink71.

Saw your post long ago and didn't have anything to add at the time.

LOTS has changed and improved the last 4+ months, including support for stock, un-rooted devices.

I have one user now who has a problem with severe system slowdown when running my app in that mode (without SU). It may not happen when the earphone is not plugged in though.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees this problem. To get the same experience when rooted, deny SU to Spirit when it starts.

April 13 free version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4d0at7b3nc3p1z

Thanks !
I need "time off" so please refer yourself to ALL the info linked to post #1 below. Compatibility list, FAQ, info links...

Will test...
Still perfect sound.
On new phone, HTC unlocked but not rooted; dead stock.
Must be not plugging proper earphones in.. I've heard if the chord is too short it doesn't pich up as the antenna it should be ::shrug::
Ya want me to test free version too? I got unlocked and it picks up more stations than my car radio.. no lie.

No further testing needed, thanks !

Versions prior to the UI update seem fine, and now he's set Theme to Dark and it looks like the problem may be gone. I'm still wondering how that might be a problem though.

I just got a VM WFS primarily because it has FM radio. However, even after downloading the HTC widget I could not get it to work?

Do all VirginMobile WFS have FM radio? I'd purchase the lite version on Google Play but I'm not sure if it would work...

I tried the above link for the free version of this app but the file is no longer there.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks,
Nick
