No, there is no FM Hardware...
It comes with an MW600 stereo BT headset w/ built-in FM receiver: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...erview/xperiax10?cc=us&lc=en#view=accessories
It's better than having it in the phone - it does not use the phone's battery and you can use it without your X10!

Noob to Android - Flashing Radios?

Hey guys. I'm not new to HTC phones. I have been on these forums a while. I have purchased a used mytouch 3g (32b) and have already rooted and installed cyonagenmod 6, 2.2 Froyo.
I have owned 3 HTC phones in the past all Windows mobile. (HTC Touch, Touch Diamond, and recently deceased Touch Diamond II) The TD2 was a great phone to me for 1.5yrs and am sorta missing it but glad it died cause it gave me a reason to buy an Android phone. Not one of my dream but still an android phone.
I was wondering if you have a thread or know of somewhere where radios have been compiled for downloading. I assume that like WinMo you can flash a different radio the same way with andriod. Am I correct?
My radio version currently is 2.22.19.26I and I'm haveing slow 3G loadtimes compared to my brothers HD2. With my Touch Diamond II I switched radios about 5 times till I got one that worked really well for calls and data.
Is there a newer version out there I can flash? Perhaps one from the new froyo updates T-Mo is sending out? Please help, I've tried to search a little but with no success. I work 7 days a week and am pressed on time. I don't even have time to make custom themes for myself like I used to in WinMo.

[Q] FM Radio... didn't know that.

So, I've been from the Motorola Droid 1 to the Samsung Epic 4g, now the tmobile g2. I've had it for 2 months now and until I installed CM7 R1 I never realized it had an FM radio. I saw the app, but I know CyanogenMod is meant for many phones, so I humored myself and opened the app, plugged in headphones and what do you know? Denver NPR!
I guess I never RTFM so I was wondering, did anyone else miss this feature or am I the only one?
BTW - I think this is a great thing, because some places I go I don't have data or even voice on t-mobiles spotty coverage.. so it's something to keep me company
A lot of the qualcomm chips and radios have have had FM radio in there but they never took the time to make it work. Cyanogenmod simply just made it work. You often see them in htc sense devices but nothing on stock.

The radio works on the Desire Z version in the UK. Don't use it much myself cause my mp3 player does the same thing and let's me record to the sd card. In fact, most HTC's in the UK have radio since at least the WinMo Touch series.

FM radio for Galaxy S4 I9505

When an stock Rom will have an FM radio for Galaxy S4?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
For I9505 version never because it doesn´t have the appropriate hardware for it (the FM chip). If you want radio install TuneIn Radio application or buy quad core version of S4 (I9500)
There won't be as it does NOT have the radio module.

I9500 also does not have FM radio.
And in my opinion appropriate hardware too.

Really?? Didn´t know that.. I thought that i9500 has an FM but no 4G (except in S.Korea).
In my country (Croatia) they sell i9500? 32Gig version without 4G and advertising in specs FM radio ...and i9505 16Gig version with 4G and no FM ..it must be their mistake.

Since the actual hardwares missing, this could be an option:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-MW-600-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0038M3H4S
You can pick them up on ebay for £30-40. Pretty good value really and gets good reviews also.

It could be possible that they sell a different variant of i9500 in Croatia. But i9500 does not have FM. Although S3 (i9300) had FM radio but they ditched it in S4.
In fact, I never missed it. I never listened to FM radio on my S3 either.

That really sucks. The FM radio module uses very little battery power and doesn't require data. Sadly because the service providers are not going to make money off the option it's been disabled or nixed all together. Sprint is the only service provider I know of here in the states that enables that function. My old back up Nokia has FM stereo on it so there is no reason it should not be enabled and functioning on all Samsung phones. It's actually a very good safety feature in times of emergency.
Samsung dumped the fm radio feature because they couldn't figure out how to monetize it. (That is direct from Samsung)
Unfortunately...you are one of like 12 people who care. So there is no mass protest to get Samsung to reinclude it on future models.
great phone, i don´t understand why i9505 doesn´t include fm chip
Read the post above yours. @Skipjacks spells it out quite succinctly.
I think it's quite stupid myself.
From various reading around the traps I'm under the belief that there actually is an fm chip on board (I think it's part of the broadcom chip that incorporates the bluetooth and stuff) but hasn't been connected and no android binaries developed. Well that is speculative at best.

Er not really though. Samsung say they don't implement it because they can't get money out of it (as already mentioned) Yet they still produce phones that have a FM radio feature. So which is it?
Think about it. The S4 Mini has a 4.3" screen running at 960x540 qHD resolution. The processor is "only" a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon. An 8MP camera rounds out the huge differences between the Mini and the standard S4. These differences are sufficient to lower the cost of manufacture, thus Samsung could easily toss in the FM Radio and still make money.
However, the fact the S4 Mini has an FM radio and the S4 doesn't is irrelevant. Samsung's official position on not offering it for the S4 was stated, and there's nothing else that need be said about it.

Err...the s4 doesn't have FM radio. Which is what this thread is about. Your point is moot and still irrelevant
