XPERIA with integrated DAB+ radio

When will there be XPERIAs with integrated DAB+ radio available in Europe? For iOS there are at least accessories available. I would prefer to have built in DAB+. SONY has released DAB+ tuners in compact Hifi sets and in portable radios. Given that DAB+ is primarily targeted at mobile reception it seems weird that DAB+ is not available cell phones. It would also be a great way to differentiate the product given that other vendors do not have solutions at this point. For the UK it seems an imperative to have at least DAB included, for Germany DAB+ tuners would certainly raise awareness of teh XPERIA brand among younger people...
So when will there be XPERIAs with DAB+ (would like to have it with LTE in one set)?

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we don't have any phones that supports DAB+ at the moment but I will forward your feedback about this.

Ipod with a DAB Radio?

OK,
Technical people may say that its not possible but I would pay through the nose for an IPOD I could play music, videos and podcasts on - and also catch Sports Report on radio 5 on a saturday afternoon.
Surely an Ipod DAB is in the pipeline?
If so, put me on the waiting list now!

Ask the manufacturer not Apple

Re-dab radio going off

Since I got bt infinity my DAB radio went off, but my FM works fine, and has anyone found out that money BT has taken and you don't know what it is for, I've had 3 payments two of £15 and one of £36 and no amount of phonecalls can extract an answer and yet every time I log in to my bt account I'm hit with a £70 owing well in my figures it is £20 I owe, why will they not tell me why I paid £36, and they have taken another £30.
Sorry about that ' but I'm furious about my radio loosing the dab and it's since my infinity went on can that affect my radio ?

Could be faulty radio but more like the smart flicking radio frequency on the home-**bleep** is messing with the DAB radio, turn off the home-**bleep** and see if the radio stations can be-found.
As to the bill i think you will find that BT like to charge 3months in advance why they will tell you thats the norm. I've never had this stupidness before personally i think they use this money to get a load of interest from it.
You will be told you will get this advance payment back if you leave remember that as i had to fight tooth and nail to get mine, if it wasn't for one of the mods on here well i think i would have gone to court; as BT insisted i owed them money even with the advance payment, but it turned out that they like to charge so much in advance that they charged my for the months that i was with my new ISP.
Good luck and record anything BT India tell you as they lie; in my own experiance!

Problem with new iPod software update and Robi DAB radio

There seems to be a compatability issue between my iPod Classic and my Robi DAB radio attachment. The DAB radio was working just fine until last week, when I downloaded the latest iPod software updates. Since then, the Robi works fine when it is used as a remote control for the iPod, but when it is used in radio mode, the iPod shuts down after a few minutes (as though it does not recognise that the radio is still attached, and thinks that there is no activity) and the Robi closes down too (due to lack of battery power when the iPod is no longer on). It could be a coincidence, but my guess is that the iPod updates are causing a problem.
I have tried to remove the new software updates from the iPod, ie I deleted the latest updates from the iPod software updates file (C/Documents and Settings/user name/Application data/Apple Computer/iTunes/iPod Software updates), unchecked the box labelled "automatically check for software updates", and then tried to restore the iPod using the old software. At that point, a message from iTunes appeared, to the effect that it could not go any further due to no internet connection. I could not find any way of restoring the iPod without letting iTunes download the current sortware updates.
So the question is, does anyone else have a similar compatability problem (with the Robi or anything else) and how can I get the iPod to run on the previous software?
I would be very grateful for any advice, as this is a very frustrating problem.

The good news is that I removed the most recent iPod software update, restored the iPod (ie returned it to factory settings and reloaded all 14500 songs) and now I am really pleased to say that the iPod and the Robi are working together again in harmony, which is a huge relief.
Since I had inadvertently deleted the previous version of the iPod software from my PC, I had to download the files from here;

I have contacted Roberts Radio about this problem. The recent 1.1 software update must be even more frustrating for them, since they have sold lots of Robi radios.
If anyone needs help to revert to the previous iPod software, have a look at this thread, where the instructions are printed in red;

Ipod Speakers with DAB Radio

Does anyone know if there any speaker type accessories that also have built in DAB radio.
I can't seem to find anything remotely similar except for those systems that allow you to plug you iPod into a line-in plug.
Also surprised that no manufacturer has tapped into this market.
I want speakers for the ipod but I don't want to buy them and then find out that a dab model will be out soon. I'd also prefer to have an all-in-1 unit so I don't have to have cables lying around.
Am I being to fussy or is this a valid request..

I don't want Nokia DAB Radio - stop telling me abo...

Is there a way to permanently stop being advised of particular updates? I don't have a DAB headset and have no intention of getting one. I don't want to install the DAB Radio on my N8 but software update clearly wants me to.
Most software updates give you the option to ignore the update, but I can't see this with Nokia. Other than installing it, is there a way to never see this again?

You have two options, install it and bury it in a folder or just ignore the message about it.
There is nothing more that can be done about it and the update cannot be hidden. If this annoys you contact nokia care and ask for the complaints address.

N8 Dab Radio Application

I have just got the Nokia DAB radio, and downloaded the DAB radio app from the Ovi Store. Everything works fine, apart from Nokia using about 75% of the screen for the word DAB and still using the menu structure to control functionality rather than populating the screen real estate with useful buttons to allow things to happen with one click rather than having to go through the normal multiple-press menu functions.
As this app is ONLY available for compatible phones - touch-screen devices - why, oh why did they not, for instance put a pile of buttons on the screen instead of having 75% of the space wasted - say 4 buttons to switch between your 4 most used radio stations (which could even optionally be populated over time like Bots does with Contacts, by learning which stations you play most often) - another button to bring up the full channel list, another button to pull up you favourites list, etc. etc.
In addition there is no 'sleep' function, a major omission for any radio application these days.
Does anyone know of an application that is compatible with the N8 that is capable of closing a named application after a set period of time. If I could close the DAB app after say an hour, automatically, then that would function as a sleep timer.
Apart from these gripes, I have to say that the kit works fine and reception is great - excellently engineered bit of kit, as always from Nokia - just a shame the associated software is badly designed, a pain to use, and lacking essential functionality if they had reallt thought about it. It is the sort of app I would have expected to be suitable for my N95 but falls way short of what should be coming out for the newer Symbian^3 devices. This is now a HIGHLY competitive marketplace and the quality of Nokia's own applications leaves a lot to be desired - even for a lifetime Nokia fan like me - it is now 2011 Nokia - get serious and develop an attitude of excellence with the software/apps - not one of stunning mediocrity - or fall by the wayside!
My current phone - Samsung Galaxy Note

I really feel that I shouldn't HAVE to be teaching Nokia software developers to think - but, here we go ....
To add a radio station to the favourite station list you have to tap the station from the list which then highlights it, and then tap a button at the bottom to either Add or Remove it from your favourites list. (this single button conveniently changes - if the station is already a favourite you can, of course, only remove it, so it says Remove - and if it isn't a favourite then this button says, of course, Add). Now that is 2 taps. What is wrong with each tap on a station on the list changing the choice for that station - if it already is a favourite, then it is Removed, if it is not a favourite then it is Added. One tap. This is a touch screen - if I tap something then presumably I wanted to do something with it - as it is already a favourite, goodness gracious, I probably want to remove it - WHY MAKE ME PRESS A BUTTON SAYING REMOVE? Even if I make a mistake, and accidentally tap the wrong one, another tap and it is reversed.
It seems that in every application the philosophy of Nokia developers is "why use one tap where two, three or even more can be designed in" - have they never heard of KISS - keep it simple, stupid! No wonder Nokia UI and software is getting pilloried by the media generally - even new applications cannot be written intelligently.

Connecting Shuffle to DAB Radio

Hi all,
I have a cheap old MP3 player, which I can connect to my DAB radio, to play the contents of the MP3 player. How do I connect my shuffle to get the same results?
The problem arises because the earphones cable contains all the facilities to change volume/tracks etc, therefore if I was to use a normal jack cable to connect the shuffle to the DAB radio, I cannot do anything with it as there are no controls on the shuffle itself.
Any help welcome.

DAB Radio on N8 Belle

Since updating to Belle, I am no longer able to use the dab radio app, which renders my £40 headset obsolete. Hopefully this app will be available again soon??

N8 DAB Radio available

Just ran updates on my phone and it says DAB radio. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere.
You need a digital headset. Not sure why no internet radio yet.

I can tell you why Nokia advertise the release of the DAB app. The DAB radio accessory is now available for purchase - just made available. If you download and run the app. it detects the fact that the DAB accessory is not connected and puts up a message asking you if you want to buy the headset - clicking on this button will take you to the Nokia website for the headset. Incidentally - it is about £49 bought via the Nokia UK Store (including standard postage) but they currently have none available (possibly because they have sold well?)
It is only compatibel with the new phones - N8 and C7 currently - must have the new USB-on-the-go connection.
