Hmmm when I goto the FM radio there is no sound coming through the earphones. Check the volume is up and nothing at all. I have to rescan each time, and that re jogs the sound output through the headphones..
Also the quailty doesnt sound amazing at all, even with technics headphones.
Music player works fine.

When you scroll with your finger to a frequency you have to press stop and then when you set the frequency press play.
Am pretty pleased with the quality myself, all works well, tunes fast, all the RDS data with station name and program info works.
My experience of the radio is that its utter crap. I tested it on a number of strong signal radio stations and all of them come out mono, no stereo from the radio at all.
also the sound quality sounds like a crap speaker sitting in a bean can. hollow sounding rubbish, very surprised that they can make a radio that rubbish these days.
Mp3 player sounds great though, nice clean full sound.
you can listen radio online
I thought I read somewhere that you can listen to the FM radio through the phone loudspeaker instead of the headphones?
If so, how???
You can but you would still need the earphones as they act as an antenna

Agree, although utter crap is just too positive a description.

thanks
Fm radio is mono or stereo
Pls help.
My FM Radio is still MONO.
FM Radio on SGS is MONO or STEREO ?
For what is still MONO ?
It's stereo
The headphone that comes in the package is not good, please use any other headphone[I used the iPhone 2G headphone] and the FM radio is "stereo"[I have Galaxy S in India], the FM just need any headphone not necessarily "samsung". Try this, I have tried it and it works as expected!
-Pramod
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do I check whether FM is running in MONO mode or STEREO mode on my phone?
I use other headphone - Coss Porta Pro. FM Radio is still MONO.
I use active loudspeaker, still MONO.
Anybody has STEREO FM radio ?
Pls help with this problem.
I have radio playing MONO too in my SGS. It's not much important for me, but I think it's serious bug in Samsung's flagman phone that costs more than 500 $ ...
did you people even read the previous message, the #2 reply?
the FM radio is STEREO you just need to plug in a STEREO head phone for it to work.
in areas of poor reception it might sound like mono, but that happens even if you have a $3000 car stereo, it's not the phone fault for weak FM sources radio station.
in my city there is a channel i really like to listen to 103.5 but the reception is very poor on most FM radio at home/work/car unless you are near the source, which is on the other side of the city.
luckly they have Online streaming, so i listen to them online when my FM radio reception is poor in whever i happen to be at the time.
mine always plays mono...

Sennheiser CX300 are the mono headphones you think?
I'd plugged many different headphones, sound ALWAYS MONO instead of mp3-player that STEREO. All radiostations in good quality of reception always mono. It's a bug of Samsung...

EDIT: found out if you put in a regular 3.5mm headphone, the FM transmitter should also work guess you can do it any way you want!
so let me get this right, if you get a 3.5mm jack off some headphones, i can plug that in and the radio will work?

Yeah, I just tried it on a Sony headset and an ipod headphone set and they both triggered the FM to work. I think the FM can be triggered with software to work but the reception will be crappy without extra wire coming out to catch the signal.
Great experiment ! Easy solution ! Can now uninstall all internet-radio apps and get my local radio station w/o headset.
Tx !
Personally I think it's just a gimmic to buy HTC's headset, don't fall for it guys! Use your own equipment that will sound better and fit more comfortably!
I could only pick up a couple of local stations like this,and we have a huge transmitter only a few miles away.
Went back to a full length set of headphones and did a rescan
and they were all back....

The whole wire acts like an antenna. There is no dedicated antenna for FM. That's how FM works since it's short range and hig frequency unlike the older AM low freq signals which need a more specialised antenna.
For good FM reception, a good wire will suffice.
Nice i'll give it a try, but first thing i would like to know is how did you get your sound so high, been lookin every ware for a cab file or a hack, any info would be GR8

That sounds like it's using the hands free profile instead of A2DP. You could try going to the options of your bluetooth headset on and untick the "Phone" box, and make sure "Media" is ticked.
I have generally decent bluetooth audio using Motorola T505 to broadcast FM to the car radio (must get around to buying a proper BT head unit, or a new car with one built in...). Most of the problems I have are interference with the FM signal rather than dodgy bluetooth.
However, I do see this kind of bad distortion on the high end with certain pieces of music - generally the solution is to turn down the volume on the Note a couple of notches and crank it up on the car stereo. I assume some of my tunes are just recorded/ripped REALLY DAMNED LOUD, it seems to mainly be things I ripped myself years ago so I probably didn't pay much attention to the levels at the time.
If you lower the volume from the Note does the distortion disappear?

No, still there. I'm using Galaxy note and noticed a similar problem, both with a pair of Plantronics BackBeat and bluetooth car kit FM transmitter. It sounds pretty fine on my Archos 5IT that is running Android 1.6 and my Nokia N900 running Maemo. My note is currently running on Android 2.3.6 Rocket 12.
Bluetooth stereo sounds great for me using Sennheiser MM-200...
If you have exceptionally bad audio quality, it's probable that the headset is being used in handsfree audio mode, and not media mode. If you go to settings>bluetooth, and click on your device, you should see which modes are ticked.
Also, some people have reported better bluetooth audio quality with the LR1 modem. See here:

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I wanted to listen to FM Radio on the Moto G using my bluetooth stereo headset.
I took an old earphon and just cut it, leaving about 8 inches hanging from the audio jack. It worked fine as an antenna.
For some odd reason, my Bluetooth headset wasn't getting any audio from the FM Radio app. I started another audio app and played a MP3. Then the audio from the FM Radio started getting mixed with the MP3. I closed the MP3 and then the radio played fine.

Can you elaborate on the exact steps and software you are using to get this to work? I've connected external headphones/speakers to my audio jack to act as an antenna, starter the FM app, then started another MP3 playing app (Apollo, poweramp, Google Music) and cannot get the 'mixing' affect you are describing. Am using 4.4.2.
The only revolutionary thing I've discovered is I can use the Google Play "HF Button" to route the FM radio out the moto g speaker rather than external headphones.
Would love to get FM radio routed out my bluetooth headphones.
I want the moderator to ban me.
Hi,
having the Moto X Play for a few days now, I experienced that the FM Radio app does not work with all headphones. With all in-ear headphones and an audio cable to a stereo, the FM Radio app says "headphone not connected", but when plugging in the jack, the app flashes bright and back again, as if it recognized the headphone.
Music plays over headphones normally, and when forcing radio with headphones not plugged in in the settings, radio perfectly works.
With my on-ear headphones, FM Radio works normally.
Now my question is: Is this a bug in the FM Radio app, or a hardware bug, or are the in-ear headphones just not well-suited for radio reception?
Thanks!
Do your headphones have a Fm antenna built in?
No, is this needed for smartphones?
FM Radio works fine with old on-ear headphones, that were built before smartphones with FM Radio existed.
The headphones don't have a antenna built in they use the wires going to the speakers as a antenna.
I'm using 8~10 year old Logitech earbuds quite fine with my Moto X Play.
So if they're not working properly with one particular set its likely that set rather than the style.
Also there is a moto update to the Fm radio app - it let's you use it without any headphones connected.
The reception really sucks using that way but might work for you.
You go into the radio settings to change that (using the revised app).
FWIW
Ok thanks for this explanation. :thumbup:
Using the radio with the option you mentioned works. So I suppose/hope it's not a hardware bug of the Moto.
help

Does it have FM radio and stereo speakers?
I think no FM Radio.
According to a article over at Anandtech - "USB Type-C port on the bottom has matching arrays of holes for the downward-firing speaker and microphone" - so I guess no stereo.

Hi!!
I'm looking around for a decent phone with FM Radio... everyday it's harder to find
I've discarted Oneplus, Mi 5, Huawei... they discard FM option then I discard their phones.
So you confirm 100% that Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (383€/$ now at Gearbest) has FM Radio? (real broadcast radio, not internet or online radio stations!)
Thank you!!
Well, I have the international edition and no FM radio. Sound is good but it is a mono device. Basically if you have a phone which can do 'FM radio' without the phones plugged in.. It will be streaming over 4g or 3g
Can somebody make a mod for stereo speakers like the one we have on mi 5?
