So...the internet seems to suggest there's an FM radio buried somewhere in the G2. Does anyone know how to access it?
The Snapdragon 800 CPU supports FM radio, but that doesn't guarantee that the pins are connected to anything. If the G2 had the pins going anywhere, there's no logical reason why LG wouldn't have included an application for it. It would have given them another marketing point for the G2.

Carriers might removed it so the user would use data instead but there is the possibility that its only a software limitation so a custom ROM might be able to use it if available (nothing guaranteed etc)
The international g2 has the fm radio installed

I dont think so. Even though the radio chip is likely to have the capability it needs to be enabled in the device hardware and have software to run it.
If only it did!
I'm surprised vanilla android doesn't sport an FM Radio app. I have one on my old HTC sensation.
Are there any available out there? Spirit FM sucks totally!
Thanks

yeah till now nothing on this area. Spirit FM dont support Nexus 4 at this moment and afaik last what I read chances are negligible.
I'm surprised stock android doesn't come with an FM Radio app. Battery consumption is low when compared to apps like TuneIn Radio and IHeartRadio, and it wouldn't eat into the data plans either. Sense ROMs have one. Is there one besides Spirit FM that we can have on our N4s? Spirit FM sucks.
Thanks!

You said Spirit FM sucks but were you able to make it work on n4? I was searching for FM app but not able to find it.
FM radio isn't supported on the Nexus 4.

Are you talking about a true FM radio tuner or just FM over internet radio? I thought we didn't have the hardware to support an FM tuner.
Edit: Here's the answer from cyanogenmod, not sure we have this wifi chip or not. Is it confirmed working in Nexus 4?

I was trying to S beam some stuff over with my note 2 to my new s4 but couldn't make it work. I've done it many times with friends with the S3. So I took out the back case of my black S4 and I didn't see the NFC sensor that my note 2 has. Anyone else out there know if its suppose to come with the NFC sensor or not.. Thanks.
Isn't the NFC included in the battery?

Yes its in the battery. Your battery should say "Near Field Communication" on it

The Note 2 NFC location is pretty high, put the S4 to the camera area of the Note 2 and it'll work just fine.
NFC Beaming
I was having the same issue this weekend with beaming things from my note 2 to my friends S4. After doing a lot of trouble shooting, i found that the S4 has to be inverted to beam. I know weird. the phones have to 69 to beam.

If the NFC is in the battery, does that mean it will be harder to find quality OEM batteries? Ya know, with the NFC being in the battery and all.

When you look around for batteries just make sure they say NFC included on it. I remember a good portion of the high capacity S3 batteries didn't have NFC and then I think Mugen or something came out with one. Just gotta read carefully.
Actually~
I believe this round's NFC is associated directly with the SIM.
I remember reading when ordering the device that it comes with the device and the NFC-ready SIM or some such thing, as compared to the battery or back housing like other devices had in the past.
Very odd this is..I was thinking the S4 had a diff kind of NFC, since it worked with S3 and not N2. Held it upside down. Worked...
So I guess the S4 and Note II have to perform 69 in order to beam stuff, huh?

U gotta place the s4 half way higher on the note 2 to get it to work. I transferred movies to my friends note 2 that way so I know it works. Only thing I couldn't get to transfer was music. Ive done it before on my s3 but the s4 wont. Its weird

Incase anyone cares about the details:
(I think I uploaded this right)
SO much bad information being spread on this thread, I had to step in and help out.... the NFC chip is inside your phone, the NFC antenna is what's on the outside layer of your battery! Here's a good article for everyone here to read since no one has identified this correctly:
http://samsunggeeks.com/2012/07/03/nfc-explained-nfc-for-smartphones/#.UYP8o7WV9B0
Here's a link to what the antenna looks like under the battery label:
http://tamsandroid.tamoggemon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nfc_battery.jpg
Your phone absolutely came with an NFC chip and an NFC antenna, let's not get too carried away because you either A) didn't have NFC or S Beam enabled on the S4, it's a different process than it was with the SIII, or B) weren't using it correctly!

No, the NFC isn't in the SIM. Some carriers are using 'special' SIM's which are used as some sort of secondary authentication for NFC transactions. I think this was to satisfy the banks and credit card companies. The actual NFC sensor/antenna is still in the battery.

Anyone find a fix for the audio issue yet? If so please share. If not, I'm sure a fix will be out soon?
The only thing missing for me while on 4.3 are those awesome LTE speeds that I honestly can't live without anymore (especially upload, upload speeds on hspa are garbage).
Thanks!
I understand there is a new radio with 4.3. What version is showing up on your phone? Does anyone have a pointer to release notes that show you details of what has been changed in 4.3, particularly with the radio?

OP wants to use <.33 for LTE. Radios newer than .33 has LTE disabled.
So thats why he doesn't want to use .84 (that comes with 4.3)
There is no fusion fix yet.

I know that......I guess I kinda hijacked the thread for a somewhat unrelated question; my bad. Anyway, thanks for the answer. Hopefully I can now get more than 1Mbps download data speed on my phone.

does in-call audio work fine with H and H+ on the newer radios?
.27 or .33 is needed for LTE however, the .84 radio hasn't been out long enough to determine if LTE can somehow be enabled. Time will tell, Google has surprised us with today and how it's turning out.
For now, stick with what is known to work...

It doesn't have to be out long enough. If the radio has LTE disabled, its disabled. You can't workaround to enable LTE on a radio that is compiled with it disabled. Its a closed source radio just like all of them.
With 4.2.2, using the old radio with an audio fix allowed for us to keep the LTE active. Does this still work work 4.3?
