Will be available the fm radio for 2.1 or 2.2 upgrade of x10? As far as i read about this, it was possible for some Android devices (Google Nexus One)which have upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1...

as far as i know, it is not available now...
No, there is no FM Hardware...
It comes with an MW600 stereo BT headset w/ built-in FM receiver: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...erview/xperiax10?cc=us&lc=en#view=accessories
It's better than having it in the phone - it does not use the phone's battery and you can use it without your X10!
Im waiting for my vibrant still and ive heard about the original galaxy having fm radio but t-mobile removed it from their vibrant. Is it a software or hardware problem? I remember my touch pro 2 stock rom not having it so is this the issue with the vibrant?
Has x10 got fm tuner like N1
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
No FM tuner for x10... but u can use internet radio..
Year I know radiotime app I just woundering like n8 got short wave radio chip that's not active for local comaction
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
no, there isn't... next time take a look at the full specifications before buying or intend to buy a product.. saves much regrets and troubles later..
but SE has this headset, MW600 that has built in radio, and you can use it with the x10. i believe one of the SE answer team guys said this somewhere. also on the SE website.
The interresting thing is, if the X10 have the hardware inside for FM-radio....
Many if not all BT chipsset actually have FM radio build into the chip...
Why SE didn´t eigther use such a chip, or why SE decided not to support the FM radio that perhaps allready is there hardware-wise, is the question...
Can someone confirm if or if not the BT chipsset in the X10 also contain a FM radio ?
I am a complete noob and am ready to take on installing android on my T-Mobile HTC HD2. I've discovered that not all versions have FM radio available. I would really like to know which ones have over the air FM radio. Thanks in advance and please don't hate me for asking
I've tried a lot of builds and have been very happy with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
It's not the newest build, but it's fast, stable, and it provides great battery life. It has the best FM Radio implementation I've experienced on the HD2 so far.
Good luck!

When an stock Rom will have an FM radio for Galaxy S4?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
For I9505 version never because it doesn´t have the appropriate hardware for it (the FM chip). If you want radio install TuneIn Radio application or buy quad core version of S4 (I9500)
There won't be as it does NOT have the radio module.

I9500 also does not have FM radio.
And in my opinion appropriate hardware too.

Really?? Didn´t know that.. I thought that i9500 has an FM but no 4G (except in S.Korea).
In my country (Croatia) they sell i9500? 32Gig version without 4G and advertising in specs FM radio ...and i9505 16Gig version with 4G and no FM ..it must be their mistake.

Since the actual hardwares missing, this could be an option:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-MW-600-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0038M3H4S
You can pick them up on ebay for £30-40. Pretty good value really and gets good reviews also.

It could be possible that they sell a different variant of i9500 in Croatia. But i9500 does not have FM. Although S3 (i9300) had FM radio but they ditched it in S4.
In fact, I never missed it. I never listened to FM radio on my S3 either.

That really sucks. The FM radio module uses very little battery power and doesn't require data. Sadly because the service providers are not going to make money off the option it's been disabled or nixed all together. Sprint is the only service provider I know of here in the states that enables that function. My old back up Nokia has FM stereo on it so there is no reason it should not be enabled and functioning on all Samsung phones. It's actually a very good safety feature in times of emergency.
Samsung dumped the fm radio feature because they couldn't figure out how to monetize it. (That is direct from Samsung)
Unfortunately...you are one of like 12 people who care. So there is no mass protest to get Samsung to reinclude it on future models.
great phone, i don´t understand why i9505 doesn´t include fm chip
Read the post above yours. @Skipjacks spells it out quite succinctly.
I think it's quite stupid myself.
From various reading around the traps I'm under the belief that there actually is an fm chip on board (I think it's part of the broadcom chip that incorporates the bluetooth and stuff) but hasn't been connected and no android binaries developed. Well that is speculative at best.

It is stupid.

Er not really though. Samsung say they don't implement it because they can't get money out of it (as already mentioned) Yet they still produce phones that have a FM radio feature. So which is it?
Think about it. The S4 Mini has a 4.3" screen running at 960x540 qHD resolution. The processor is "only" a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon. An 8MP camera rounds out the huge differences between the Mini and the standard S4. These differences are sufficient to lower the cost of manufacture, thus Samsung could easily toss in the FM Radio and still make money.
However, the fact the S4 Mini has an FM radio and the S4 doesn't is irrelevant. Samsung's official position on not offering it for the S4 was stated, and there's nothing else that need be said about it.

Err...the s4 doesn't have FM radio. Which is what this thread is about. Your point is moot and still irrelevant
