Have you tried the slacker radio it is stock and is pretty cool. I have been using nanogroove mobile and that is also cool.

Yes, I have. But I am looking for FM Radio, and not internet radio. Slacker and nanogroove are internet dependent applications.

Your questions is not being understood, you asked for an alternative to the FM Tuner on the HD2 which would only be your current music and slacker app. What other radio would you like? If you are asking for a FM radio and you do not know that the HD2 has a FM radio built in you need to do some research and reword your question.

Yessir. His best bet would be to just load all his music and use the music player. I don't this there is an fm radio app out there.
I think the OP request was pretty clear, they are looking for a different FM Radio app than the stock one.
BTW, I haven't seen one anywhere but that doesn't mean there isn't one. You might have more luck asking in the Regular HD2 Themes and Apps forum.

His question is worded correctly and the question is valid. It's you who have problems understanding.
So let me re-phrase it for you.
Different frontend application for the build in, hardware FM radio.
Know any? If not, don't bother to answer. Nobody needs your attitude.

Thank all for the help. I will continue my search for this FM radio alternative, since the build in radio is not very good . If I happened to find one, I will definitely report back to you guys.
Again, Thank for all the help

Yeah, and ****ty quality too.
Have you ever actually used it?
****ty or not, it would be so freaking awesome
this would be sweeet! is it possible??
I need this too. I hoped someone will make an app for this but still nothing.
If this was possible, it would be AMAZING!

Not sure if this helps ? !

Just like to say that it would be awesome if this app could be sorted. With respected to quoted message...It really depends on a number of factors
Hardware
Your location
Your Car (Windscreen)
I have used and am using an itr1p for a couple of years now and works flawlessly in and around Manchester. I have business in Biringham once or twice a month and it never works properly there on any frequency!!
+1
Great idea... hope it's possible!

FM Radio

Specs say that this device has FM Radio with RDS. I can't seem to find an FM Radio App on my atrix.
Did AT&T remove this feature? If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Uhm, "who cares, use this other app" is not a helpful answer. Don't bother to post unless you have meaningful information.
James, the FM radio should be one of the options in the music app.

Thanks for your reply, but when I go into "Music" I only see the mp3's on my SdCard...
As for the useless 2nd post, I already have TuneIn Radio, but there are some stations which I enjoy listening to that TuneIn does not have.
Thanks again for your response Stoli, hope I can figure it out soon.

Sorry I don't have my Atrix yet to check for myself. But does the music app look like this? I thought the Atrix was supposed to have the new Connected Music Player.

no its same as droidx
Unfortunately it doesn't look like that at all...

I have to say I'm at a loss then. The specs did say it has an FM radio, and all signs indicated the Atrix would get the new Connected Music Player. I don't know if this is AT&T or Motorola's doing, but it sucks.

Fm radio in ideos x5

Hey people i don´t find any question about this i know that is only a litle thing but i love it to listen football games in radio do u think that one day is possible to gaver radio over fm?
no possible.
In build.prop
There is some broadcom chip evidence.
Like this
Wifi chip is bcm=false
Maybe there is broadcomchip inside and huawei have disabled it
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
is there some developer who knows how to do it?
Nah, no chip inside there. The bcm chip is in the U8800Pro
It seems that has a tavarua fm chip, which is disabled(maybe huwuei didn't manage to make it work). This info comes from the developer of spirit fm radio after I provided to him some log infos. He didn't want to spend time to add support for this though because he haven't a clue that this chip acctually works.
can anyone send 1 email asking this thing to huawei?

You can!
I allready do that they don´t anwser me!
I think that u8800 have the hardware but disabled!
One redactor of the mobile magazine wrote: in the official rom isn't fm radio soft, but when I installed the soft from market, then the fm radio was working.
So, I think the fm radio is possible to work.
Probably he means an internet radio app. There isn't any app for fm radio except spirit fm AFAIK and that doesn't support ideos X5

I worked in huawei mobile in syria
And fm radio is in u8800 pro only ...............
Ok.If it has Tavarua chip inside how can we send commands and see if it responds.Maybe I ll try but i have no clue (yet).
u8800,cm7,[email protected]
Maybe you need to speak with the developer of spirit fm(it has a topic on android apps and games session). He did some research about it and maybe he can give you some directions.
I can't do it myself as i have no dev experience .If we have a chip inside why do we have it if it's not working? It's a waste of money.Can someone check?

Fm Radio in Android 4.0+ why not ???

Guys why is a simple feature like FM radio not supported by default in all of the builds ??
I would hate going back to android 2.3 just to get one feature and lose 50 others !!
So why doesn't FM radio work with 4.0 ,4.0.1, 4.2.2, Roms on the Mighty HTC HD2 :good:
Any body knows a how to on making it work then please share it with us
i got two words for you.

Because most of the CM devs consider it un-interesting.
And Google kills any FM stuff in AOSP, and the chip specs are secret, so it takes a LOT of work.
