Hi Guys,
I am new to the site and have looked around for a resolution for the problem of using the W980 FM transmitter in certain countries. I have found similar issues but no difinative answers. It seems that I have to fool my mobile into thinking I am in a different country! (I am based in Ireland). I cannot find any options on the phone to do this.
Has anyone out there actually resolved this problem?

Cheers

hey Damage
I also have the same problem and am also based in Ireland but from some research it is obvious no one has come up with a solution so I will try it myself
had the phone for almost a year now but as i have been travelling to Germany a lot and the transmitter works over there so the FM problem never really bugged me
because it works over there I'm sure a different firmware wont help as I think it works depending on what network you are currently connected to
So my theory is that what you need to do is find the list of allowed countries and change it if possible
I'm currently working on getting into the system files for which I am atm dling a program that will hopefully help
Hope I can resolve this problem soon!
