Why PowerRadio?
The built-im FM player - at least on HTC HD - misses many features i'd like to have in a FM radio. PowerRadio delivers many data available via RDS which would otherwise be invisible to the listener. Here are just a few examples:
- Radiotext: contains information broadcast by the respective station. What you get here totally depens on the broadcaster. You might see title and interpret, call-in numbers, SMS trafficservice numbers, URL's etc.
- traffic announcements, program type, coverage area, date, time, timezone, various status flags
More info on RDS can be found in this post.
v1.5.0.2
- bugfix: preset lost >30
- bugfix: squelch unmute not appropriate when muted manually
- NEW: AppToDate support
v1.5.0.0
- new option: Squelchlevel, mutes audio when signal strength falls under a specified limit
- added commandline control options via HeadsetButtonHandler, see Power Radio Doc
- RDS status infos are written to registry (frequency, stationname, RDS textmessage), an external script/program may be called on update, see Power Radio Doc
- PowerRadio.ini will not be overwritten any more when updating Power Radio with a new version
v1.4.0.6
- fixed QVGA display problems
- new option FullScreen: you gain an additional line of presets with this
- rearranged menu items
- new exit option: if you experience exceptions when closing Power Radio, try setting menu-extras-set exit option to 1
- fixed display problem in RDS timeout setting
- frequency, stationname, rdstextmessage are written to the registry HKLM\Software\PowerRadio. This allows script access to the current values. Values are updated as they arrive from the RDS stream.
- KNOWN ISSUES: on some devices, PowerRadio crashes on exit.
v1.4.0.0
This version contains massive changes compared to previous releases. As of this, i consider it BETA for the time being. Please report if you encounter unusual behaviours.
- even more eyecandy: presets can have station images
- various bugfixes (see readme.txt in download package)
- support for QVGA devices
- additional skinning options (see skinning.rtf in download package)
- NEW: sleep timer
- thanks to jolas, Power Radio has a new fancy icon
Thanks to all (beta) testers!

FAQ
cant receive RDS data
run APITest, details here
cant see icons on my preset buttons
edit the name of your preset station to match the name of an icon (without the ending .png)
Power Radio crashes - throws exception on exit
try setting an alternate exit option: menu-extras-set exit option: 1
exitoption 0 is the default behaviour which seems to work on most devices. After the screen is gone, the app is really terminated.
exitoption 1 handles exit differently. On exit, the Power Radio window closes immediately but the app continues running in background for about 10 secs (maybe longer). If you start PowerRadio or HTC radio during this time, you'll get all kinds of errors. You may view the background process with Fdcsoft taskmanager or SKtools, or simply wait long enough.
