Fm radio quality acceptable?

Hi guys, I used to own a Optimus G. Before buying, I was really happy that it should come with Fm radio. Well, that was a bad joke since it was totally unusable. Although I live in a big German city, I could only listen to like 2 stations, and quality was bad. My girlfriend's xperia zl gets more than 10 stations and quality is quite okay, especially for news. We also tried it with the same headphones, so just Optimus G fm radio is bad.
Has is improved with the G2?
Thanks in advance!

Wish I could tell you... The NA versions of the G2 don't have FM radio out of the box. Maybe a future hack?

Okay for your interest : got the chance to test fm radio at a local store. Exactly the same unacceptable quality as Optimus g. Only found 2 stations and one of them was not even clear. Tried same headset in another phone (xperia z) and found like 20 and could listen to all of them. Really embarrassing for LG that they did not put any effort into this problem.

Did you have a set of headphones in? I ask because sometimes the headphones are used as an antenna.

Lg G2 speaker volume?

Anyone notice the speakers on the G2 are generally quiet? Compared to my s4 I can barely hear them.

Correct - see GSMArena for confirmation.

Is this mod safe for the speaker?

Hi,
I don't think, at least no issue for now, the mod is tweaked for volume boost but at a secure level.
I use it and I have not encounter any issues.

Bad sound quality on 4.4 custom Roms

Hallo,
I would like to make a simple question...
Tried 2 custom 4.4 Roms on my LG G2 (droidkangs and mahdis) and in both versions I noticed the same problem...
The speaker sound (even though loud) is of VERY bad quality when playing deeper sounds like basses!
In stock Roms the sound (same MP3) is crystallclear... Tried many settings in DSP manager... Tried almost everything I found in iNet, but I am going back to stock based Roms as on max volume its like my speaker is broken :/ (when I use headphones or BT headset I don't have that issue)
Could any1 please tell me what the reason for this problem is?? Is it normal that the sound quality from speaker is so much worse than the stock versions??
And can this be fixed?
Please, if some1 knows the answer just give me the info as I rly don't want to go back to stock Rom :/
Thank you!

I have the same problem on Cyanogenmod 11 and Paranoid .

CyanogenMod the sound is pretty low, on Mahdi's pretty high. Try equalizer settings on those ROMs. It might require a tweak to your liking.

Same here. Running CM11 and speaker quility cracks up when it gets loud. I tried messing with Viper, but alas, no improvement. Don't think there's a fix yet though..

Mahdi has same issue if you max sound... I think that all the 4.4 roms have this problem so flashing other customs won't help.

i never use the speaker because i thought it was terrible to begin with but i just tested it out and and mine does not get very loud but i use headphones 99.999.9999999999999 percent of the time but it is definately a bug but other than this bug i really havent had anyother problems
