I have Android 11, 3.1 UI on my SM-G9750 and the FM Radio works fine. The earphone cable works as an antenna and must be plugged in.

It doesn't matter whether the earphones are stock Samsung however they won't work using the Type C port, they have to be used in the 3.5mm jack.
Here's the link, if the current version doesn't work try the Older Versions at the bottom of the page.

I just updated and it still works. If you have a US Variant it won't function, I believe those don't have the required hardware. Too many Samsung variants makes for ongoing problems.

I seen word that it used to work whether it was Samsung radio or FM radio app. The update of 3.0 broke it.

None of the US Variants are FM Radio compatible, the bigshots lean on Samsung not to add any features which divert a user from their revenue generators, ie streaming audio, single sim. Could be software and/or hardware restrictions. Either way it truly sucks!

Us variant has fm chip

I see the specs all over the Net for the T-Mobile Vibrant say there's an FM radio and that for the Samsung Galaxy S generally there's one too.
Is that accurate, is there FM radio hardware on the Vibrant? (I am not talking about software that provides Net FM radio, I am referring to the hardware radio.)
On the Touch Pro2 (TMOUS) it came without the FM radio app to use the hardware radio that was in fact on the phone. Is it the same with the Vibrant, where we simply need the FM radio app to activate the hardware radio?
Or does the Vibrant NOT have a hardware FM radio?
If the FM radio is on the motherboard, anyone know where to get the app or software to make it work?
I don't have much info for you, but a few of the reviews I remember watching on the net last week have said that the international version does indeed have a built in hardware FM tuner (you have to make sure to plug in headphones though, they act as your antenna). I even saw a demo of this app. I don't remember if this was on the international Galaxy S or the ATT Captivate.
So unless T-Mobile totally removed the hardware chip (I wouldn't say to be very likely) it should still be there. Hope this helps.
I don't know for sure but based 0on what I have read it seems like the Vibrant does have the hardware for a radio...and as of now there rumors that 2.2 will bring out the fm radio to its fullness but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Check tunein in the market no need for fm radio

Check the think tank for this. It seems the Vibrant has the hardware as part of the GPS chip (correct me if I'm wrong). People are having a hard time getting it to work though. I'll try and find the link and post it.
I found the link, but i can't post it because i don't have rights.

Would be interesting if the GPS chip was a full software radio. Scan just about any frequency...

True, but an FM radio would probably use less power.
Not a big deal for me since I have a tuner in my BT headset, but it would be cool if the Vibrant had one.
I thought people were trying to figure it out in the Dev board without much success.

Yes. For the Atheros chipset on my wifi card, the Linux kernel has the complete source code. A few simple limit changes in the reg.c (if I remember correctly) lets me scan from nearly from 2.1 to 2.8 GHz. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to change the channel spacing, modulation type and all that.
is there a way to use to fm radio.apk from the i9000?

hahaha. I gotta say, that would be a pretty stunning achievement if you could get that working.
I don't know really but 2 weeks ago I flashed Galaxy S i9000 Rom on my Vibrant and when I tried FM Radio first it gave me "Unable to switch on Radio" then I managed to switch it on but I only heard shshsshshshshshshs and when I shift the tuner to another band nothing happens !

How did you manage to switch on the radio? Just wondering may be that will give some clue. Also could you confirm if it asked to plug in the head set before it produced static.

Indeed, how were you able to turn this on? Though, I am more interested in the transmitting side of having an FM Radio built in, but receiving might be neat.

Actually I used a custom made update.zip file to enable Arabic support on my vibrant (which it's inherited from i9000 ROM) .. Anyway after applying the update.zip I saw FM Radio icon in application menu so I clicked it and it loaded and asked to connect the headphone to use it as antenna so I connected the antenna and that message disappear. Then I clicked on start Fm Radio and at the beginning a message appeared telling me cannot switch on FM Radio so I clicked it again and again and for the forth time it worked ! I started to hear the (shshshshshsh) sound but unfortunately changing the frequency didn't show me anything! Maybe because it can be used only in US and I'm from Bahrain so maybe that's why it doesn't work !
Is the bahranian vibrant different from the US version? When I load eugene's "froyo that does not brick", I get nothing (i.e. no static). Additionally, headphone logic is reversed, so I only get the "please connect headphones" message when they are already in.
Tune in
Tune-in I ve found to be the best and most reliable Also it uses very little power if you are on head phones

Just plug in the headphone....
Erm, I don't know which version you looking at. But, as far as I remember, just plug in the headphone and there is one apps for the FM radio...

The international models do, unknown if the US model will.
Mine came with the FM radio app installed and it works so...
US here. Works fine, uses the headphones to act as an antenna. You can even record stations.
US Amazon version here and FM app and work well.
It will even play through the speaker if you have an old earbud you can cut off to make a short antenna with.

No, No FM radio confirmed

True but I live across the border from Detroit and a lot of Detroit stations are blocked using streaming radio.

Or live in a place we're data is unstable at best. A shame really as only LG and HTC seem to have kept the fm radio chips.
The one time I definitely need FM radio is at the gym. A lot of gyms allow you to watch different channels by tuning in to different FM channels to watch TV while working out. I use Bluetooth wireless ear buds, and luv'em. I would like the option of tuning in with my phone (built-in antenna) and then bluetoothing to the ear buds. I know, so old-skool... get with the times... how would you achieve the same results? Any dongles/etc that would do the trick? Thanks in advance!

That actually never works. On devices that do actually have FM Radio, they won't allow you to connect to a normal Bluetooth device (like headphones) when FM Radio is active. Low-Energy devices such as smartwatches aren't affected by this.
Note that no phone has an integrated FM antenna; any phone with an FM tuner requires wired headphones to act as an antenna

That's a completely false statement. Receiving FM radio transmission works just fine with Bluetooth speakers.

I got the ZTE Maven 3 from Best Buy for $8. It seems to have a radio tuner. I'm sure most of the people here wouldn't consider using this super low end smartphone as their regular phone but using it for music, without a sim, seems to work well. For just over $20, I have a music player with 32 gigs for music.. It's only got 8 gigs internal storage, which is mostly occupied out of the box but thankfully it has a card slot.

Demo phones don't contain radio hardware as far as I know, so you could flash firmware I suppose but you can't use it to make calls and so on.

Would Samsung really go to the trouble of removing hardware...just for a demo model. I don't think so especially since the BT and WiFi are radios and they work. More than likely the cell radio is blocked by the retail app or possible special firmware.

Did a bit more research and found that there is no imei allocated which leaves the phone crippled in that aspect

he is right! no modem for you! just a security measure to stop people from stealing demo units. yeah you got one but in sense a phone it's useless.
