FM Radio Function

Hello Everyone,
I have search the Atrix forum and have not found anything about the FM radio function.
Has anyone been able to enable it? I know it is not a high priority action.
Thanks for any info on this.

It's not currently enabled. with the Nexus One, Cyanogen had an updated ROM to enable the Tuner. I think one of the droids had an update to turn the tuner on. This is quite probable. Companies like Motorolla can sometimes spread revenue over multiple quarters by doing things like enabling new functionality down the road

I tried a Droid x hack for the FM radio.
It behaves as if it will tune..detects the headphones etc..even the volume control works and shows it is FM volume.
I am no where close to some of the experts on this site..but it looks like an easy hack..I hope someone else can take a quick look at this..
I know it not high priority..any insight or direction would be nice

C´mon guys, no one except me wants to hear FM radio on the Atrix?
I would donate if anyone makes it possible.
Thanks!

From what I remember from the Nexus One FM radio, a kernel change had to be made. Not sure if that applies here or not. I would note that the Bell Atrix seemed to have a TV/Radio app (on a screenshot I saw). Now, whether this is an actual FM radio and not via streamed data, who knows. Just something to look into.

FM Radio in Orange UK Spec
Orange UK has the Atrix listed as having "FM radio RDS",
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-atrix;jsessionid=DZDVNQNfZ572n66rRcnTgJLKnz1Ncr12nRhyv52Z92qwyr9g9rHL!-1117014923
Its also listed in the paper catalogue as having this feature. Mine (purchased 13th May) doesn't have this enabled, from what I can see, but hopefully this means an update is due soon with this feature turned on.

My friend has a Defy, and it has CMP (Connected Music Player) its basically tunewiki but its the phones standard music player, in the main menus it has the option for FM Radio. Im guessing they are cooking up a version to work for the Atrix. I mean they should if the Defy has it why wont their Flagship device ATM. The Atrix is Motorola's Flagship device ATM right?

There was a hacked version of CMP out there, but the FM tuner did not work. I believe either AT&T disabled the feature so you have to pay for their radio app, or CMP was not quite finished for the Atrix. Maybe it will be included in a future update?
In any event I am also willing to DONATE to any dev who can get it working.

Bell one is an webased apl for the radio and tv, does not use hardware fm

listening to FM radio is like masturbating to pics of old ladys.

Lol'd^

Not really

I don't think we will see it enabled as long as att is the exclusive carrier

Best buy advertises ATRIX with fm radio

I think this has been mentioned before, did anything come of it? They are still advertising it
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

I've seen a few devs around the forums saying that there is no FM radio that is accessible on the Atrix. I've tried a few different apps myself, but no luck.

even i have tried the apps but it doesn't work.. since its unlocked now.. this should be taken care form the kernel level i think.. if any dev wants to enable it he CAN.

I already start a thream about fm radio. The kernel must be modified. Our atrix kernel do no have libraries and drivers for hardware. Our hardware have captabilitie for this

I asked faux123 about enabling the fm radio in his kernel. He's willing to do it, but apparently even though the chip is capable the fm radio output may not be hardwired on the circuit board. He's asking for an atrix technical manual showing the circuit connections before he even begins to work on it. If anyone knows where this type of info is please send it to faux123.

There's an app in the market called TuneIn Radio....I know it's not FM, it's over data, but it pulls all of the stations around me and then some. Might be a good alternate for you guys to try out.

Once again our cellphone can do something at the hardware level, but not at the software. C'mon Moto, really?

Again, we're still not sure that the hardware is even wired for output. That would be a c'mon moto.

Stock FM from 2.2 doesn't show the Icon but bluetooth is enabled if you check the radio status from terminal emulator and such. Spirit FM I think doesn't do that. You'll need to find Spirit FM Free, the author placed it in some filesharing site and removed it from market.

YOU CAN NOT enable FM without bluetooth, spirit FM uses the same instructions to enable Radio as Stock or CM roms. The reason you can not see the Bluetooth icon on stock Roms is that its hidden, but you can easily check that its on, by say getting any bluetooth manager app, and going into it, realising bluetooth is already on

what is the latest version of spirit fm radio????

Check this
I think the below link is the one. Please check

Fm radio?

I read in the specs that this phone has an Fm radio. How do we listen to it? I couldn't find anything in the music player for it.
Anybody know?

Sounds about right. It would be pretty dumb to have a feature hard-wired into the device already and simply not bother to enable it. Hopefully it was just a misprint or something.

Due to tax issues LG disables radio in Turkey d802 comes without radio but if u flash UK Rom radio works. Hope someone will come up with apk solution

I tried them ages ago - you dont get any audio duo to libs
if you want radio either use stock rom or an internet radio app

You can use TuneIn Radio. Very nice radio app but it requires an internet connection.
