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.

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!

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...
I recently purchased a Bluetooth speakerphone to use with my Evo. To be specific, the Sprint Portable Bluetooth® Car Speakerphone - Item # KPX3175R_C (from Sprint). I don't want to purchase an fm radio transmitter and my car doesn't have a aux input, but I would like to be able to listen to Pandora and Podcasts via Google Listen. Is there any way that I can listen to them using the Bluetooth Speakerphone. Thanks.
I have a Motorola bluetooth speaker phone, but I'm able to listen to music through it from my phone. The music plays from the speaker phone itself, but my Motorola also has FM transmission so I just tune my radio to whichever frequency my speakerphone tells me to for radio listening. It sounds like poo since it's going through bluetooth then to an FM transmission.
If it supports a2dp it should work without a problem.
I did some research and the bluetooth speakerphone is the Cyanics BCX-300 rebranded by sprint. The Cyanics BCX-300 does not support the a2dp profile only the HEP and HSP profiles. Is there any way to use these profiles to send music to the bluetooth? Maybe an app of some sort.
I have cause to use the FM radio but listen with a bluetooth A2DP headset. The bluetooth headset says it is connected for media and phone audio. However, the FM radio audio does not get redirected. How do I enable this? Is there an alternate FM radio app that will direct the sound to the bluetooth headset?
And before you guys jump on it, yes in fact there is a cable attached to the headphone jack for antenna. I just don't want to have to use a wired headphone to listen.
little background:
I like to listen to a particular radio station while I ride my bike. I also like to use my phone's GPS feature with a bicycle computer app while it is mounted to the stem on the bike. So it is terribly inconvenient to have a cable running from my ears to the phone while it is mounted on the bike. I built an antenna cable for the phone that connects to the stem cap bolt on the bike, using the bike's steel fork as an antenna. It works brilliantly with the phone's FM radio set to "Speaker", but when you set it to "headset", it doesn't redirect the sound to the bluetooth headset.
It seems too me that the phone is thinking (yes, thinking lol) that it has a headset plugged in and is trying too out put the audio via the headphone port... I kind of know how you feel because wires while riding a bike is quite cumbersome. It clearly seems like an overlooked problem, but most definitely can be fixed via software. I've been looking at bluetooth headsets for a while now, and this seems relavant to my interests... Good luck...

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

Has anyone had succes with listening to the radio fm over bluetooth speakers?
I use a cut down headphone jack as an antena and I can hear it from the speaker, but as soon as I try to use the bluetooth headphones it cuts the sound.
The case is that after some trying i have been able to listen to it over the bluetooth headphones but a restart of the phone (update to miui11) has made it to not work again. It doesn't matter in what order I connect the headphone jack or the bluetooth headphones, it doesn't work.
It even can record the radio while connected to the BT but there is no sound while the redio is ON. Even if I listen to MP3 music as soon as I start the radio it goes muted and as soon as I stop the radio app it starts playing the music again.
I know It can work as it has worked for me in the same phone (9T) and previous phones (redmi 4, and pocophone F1). Usually I had to first connect the jack and then the BT headphones to be able to hear the radio.
Edit: Tried with real headphones and it seems that the radio app will output to the jack headphones every time, even if there is a BT headphone connected.
