FM Radio

Hello All,
Is there any release of Android where the FM Radio is working? I noticed the app in Android 2.1 with HTC Sense.
However, the application crashes every time it's opened.
Has there been any driver development for this piece of hardware?

I'm very agree with your request
I'm very disappointed that the FM radio does't work

Any information would be helpful, unfortunately it appears that many people do not use it.
In the mean time, I am using the RadioTime app to stream live radio stations. I also notice that every 10 seconds or so, the audio gets kind of garbled. This occurs while listening to MP3's or streaming media.
I am currently using Android 2.2 Froyo (September 3rd) release with the latest Froyo 2.2.1 System Update along with the latest rootfs, modules and zimage.
If there is a solution for the garbled audio, that would also be much appreciated.

[Q] FM radio

I downloaded and installed PacMan rom. So far I like it, but I am missing the FM radio app. I got the app from sense rom, but will not install. I am new to rooting and flashing, so please explain to me how can I get my FM radio work. Thanks

Thanks. I am going to miss my radio. I took of the PacMan and installed the CM10 4.2.1. Works fine. I had to update the Google Search as was FC any time I try to use the mic. Works fine now. So far, it is the best JB rom on my glacier. I hope that someone will found a way to install that radio app.

[INFO only] FM Radio improvement

If you use the Sony stock FM Radio, as good as it is, Sony missed a setting when porting their Radio3.apk from the Z/ZL Qualcomm FM chip and driver to the Z2's Broadcom chip and driver.
If you live in an area with moderate signals, you will notice that although the stereo image is very wide, it doesn't get narrowed by the Broadcom chip or API as the signal strength varies. This results in a noticeable increase in background noise (hiss). Sony forgot to enable Stereo Blend....
The link below allows you to use an FM Radio app that correctly blends the stereo image automatically,
I use FM Radio a lot - this is a vast improvement.
Once you have installed the app, it will run correctly at default. If you are rooted DENY SU permission.
Note that there are some UX bugs to work out at the moment...but it works well. This is only a test release.

Remember to support dedicated developers like Mike if you like their work. Spirit FM is available via G Play. If you like the test release, buy the app.

Thanks for the post. Audio sounds great from this app. I have a weird bug with my phone though and the FM Radio. In both this app and the built in FM app, it will only play audio (through headset or speakerphone) when the screen is off. Is it supposed to be this way? Anybody else have this or know why it might be doing this? Updated to latest .314 update in Canada on an unlocked Z2.

Yeah, it didn't do it the first time I tried using the FM radio after getting the phone but recently it does. I wonder if a factory reset might fix it, I just don't feel like setting up my phone again!!

Check Google Now settings and check activate from lock screen.

Thanks! Also found this after re-googling it today. Somebody also posted this solution on the Xperia Support forums. Guess it's the always listening "OK Google" that was messing with the FM Radio. Strange but at least I know what the issue is now! Wonder if this will be fixed with future updates to either the Google Search app or the FM Radio app?

Fm radio?

Does Axon 7 have fm radio enabled?

I read here somewhere that it does have it in the SoC, but because of the circuit design the headphones can not be used as antenna (the sound chips are between the fm module and the hadphone port).

There is no FM Radio app on the device.

I downloaded the NextRadio app (I think that's what it's called?) and it said my hardware wasn't compatible. This is the same message I got on my 6P, which doesn't have a radio either.

According to this it should (http://www.gsm-specs.com/zte-axon-7/ in the media section) but like most said it doesn't look like it works natively will try to get it to work when i get it and tell you for sure I'm hopeful it will work but doubting it

The kernel source has it enabled
CONFIG_MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT=y and there is qcom.fmradio.jar in the framework folder
Still doesn't mean it's connected, would need to see dmesg from boot to see if it gates discovered or any modules for the radio get loaded

Sorry for bumping this buuut would it be possible to have a working FM radio?
With an altered kernel perhaps..?
Or let's just beg to ZTE to bring out Nougat with the FM radio feature not being disabled haha

It's a hardware issue, not software.

Is there a radio app that will use the S10's built in FM radio?

Hi, does anyone know if there Is there a radio app that will use the Samsung S10 plus built in FM radio, rather than having to use internet streaming apps.
I read that the s10 plus does receive FM signals but all the radio apps i keep downloading seem to be internet stream only.
Thanks
James
