These chips have support for alot of features that the manufacturers dont utilise, unfortunately. since the S2 does have an fm reciever, hopefully it should just be a matter of tweaking it to transmit a signal? funny thing is the chip also supports Bluetooth 4.0, wonder if that means we'll be able to update to 4.0 once its officially released.

It would, but I imagine they'd have communicated it if it was present. That's a pretty cool selling point.

Then again they don't even advertise the fact it supports hdmi out which is a bigger selling point, for me anyway. Even the phone shop assistant who sold me the phone said it doesn't have hdmi out.

It will maybe never get activated by samsung, but what can we do about this?

Is there an possibility to activate the transmitter and what do we need for doing that?

Maybe if we find a phone with activated transmitter (same chip) and software it would be possible (but i dont know an android phone whit this speccs).

This feature would be making this phone perfect for me (because i use it a lot on my old nokia n85) and i am not the only one who would like this.

It depends on wiring of the hardware! If you have a chip which includes a transmitter than you have only one part of an working transmitter. The other part is a antenna connected to the chip and maybe an amplifier between them. If the "transmiter output" ins't connected to anything then there is no chance to use it...

I just have to ask... Can anyone confirm this? Or is there any news on this topic? It is very interesting for me!

Probably not connected by samsung. I recall the hardware is also capable of more than the supported signal bands, but samsung chose to not use that feature.

a chip being capable of and the whole parts doing the stuff are 2 different things.
In the broadcomm's datasheet there are all the things that the chip is capable of doing it.
But, let put it this way: The chip is capable to use 3g network but in order to do it you need a 3g radio part in it.
The same with the fm transmitter. In order to use that feature you need a real fm transmitter in the phone, a radio transmitter, a piece, a device, a part, you get the point.
And i am afraid that our good old SGSII does not have a fm transmitter in it.
