Try the following to improve radio reception, especially if you are in a "fringe" coverage area:


  • Use the hands-free headset and position the phone away from your body.
  • Walk to a window if you are indoors.
  • Step outside of buildings that have high metal, concrete, or earthen content as they may absorb radio signals.
  • Step away from metallic windows as they absorb RF energy.
  • Go to the highest spot possible to make the call.
  • Step away from computers or electronic equipment.
  • If you are in a car, first park, then try the call from outside the car.
  • If you are near or directly under a cellular/PCS radio tower, walk at least one block away.

Note: This is not meant to be tips on how to get radio (AM/FM) on your Sidekick. It is meant to be tips on how to improve your cellular reception. (The Sidekick has several radios in it for communicating with the network (850/900/1800/1900 GSM, EDGE), your bluetooth headset (Bluetooth2.0/A2DP) (and soon, with the OTA, your computer) however none of the radios in it are meant for communication with your local radio station.

there definately is no radio on the sidekick lx and the people who teased us like that are idiots. my friend has an ID and they have radio on that. I think we should have every feature that all the sidekicks have to offer. My bluetooth has limited uses too. We should all gang up and complain til they make a super sidekick and give them to us for free because I want to be able to do more stuff with this thing.
