Mounting SD card and FM radio issues

[infirmus]

I just received my Dinc yesterday and loving it so far, but there are a couple of issues I have.

1. The Fm radio does not pick up any stations, all I get is static. I have tried using 2 different sets of headphones, since the headphones act as the antenna I thought that maybe that was the issue. Now this isn't too important as i hardly listen to FM radio ever, but for those times I do it would be nice to have the option

2. I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my main desktop, every time I plug the phone in to to transfer files to\from the SD card, it gets caught in this endless loop of mounting\unmounting with no way to stop it except to unplug the phone, I have checked every setting on the phone and on my desktop I can think of all to no avail, anyone else have this issue ?

Same here, wish someone could tell me what I"m doing wrong.

Well I have pretty much given up on the radio, still working on the mounting issue.

Not sure if HTC sync see's Ubuntu< I haven't reinstalled it on my comp since I installed 7, there should be a copy on your phone, look in the 2 drives it sets up if you can get it to connect, it is not on the card of course but the phone itself. I installed mine before HTC had a version on their website, I'm not certain if the web site is a complete version or just an upgrade but you may try downloading from there and getting the drivers you need. Also try installing the SDK it may give you what you need.

From my understanding HTC sync doesnt mount the internal and external storage, it only syncs contacts and it a Windows only program(yes I could use WINE to install it but I really dont want to). The SD card should just auto-mount like any USB drive would, for all the failings of my last phone the Blackberry Storm 1, having the SD card auto-mounted was not one of them, Linux or Windows. Now I am only having this problem while on my Ubuntu desktop, it does auto-mount just fine in Windows7, but I keep all of my files that I would want to transfer to the phone on my Ubuntu desktop, I only use Windows on my Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t because the the touch screen doesnt work very well under any Linux OS :P

Ok sorry to kind of rant there, I do appreciate the help I am just going to have to dig in deeper as to why it wont work correctly

Yeah, the FM radio doesn't work for me either....picks up maybe one station. No biggie as I would rarely use it, but it would be nice if it actually worked.

I found this post on another site and it worked for me also. (maybe a bad Headset jack?)

"In order to get a good FM signal I have to pull the headset a quarter way out. In doing so, I am constantly bumping the headset and it falls out and I have to restart the fm Radio. Does anyone know of a remedy for this. I have tried plugging different adapters into the head set and then into the incredible hoping it would improve the FM signal and I could keep the headset plugged in all the way. Unfortunately this did not help.
I have no issues with the sound or headset when I listen to mp3's."
