Trying to get the FM radio hardware to work on a friends s20 tab ultra and I notice my s10+ has one too but no app pre installed anymore ?
Many recommend 'next radio' from playstore but only rubbish copies seen to exist now. How do we get our HARDWARE fm radios to work ??
Please no posts re streaming apps !
Get a copy of the original Samsung apk.
Scan with online Virustotal before trying to install.
I'm running Snapdragon's so I never got to play with this interesting feature.

If this is the Touch Pro 2 put out by Sprint, US Cellular, or Verizon it is CDMA and CDMA phones lack the required FM tuner to make use of this feature. Doing some research on it, I was told that the FM tuner was sacrificed to make space for CDMA hardware. I don't know of the validity of it, but that is what Sprint Tech support told me. Further research confirmed it on the other CDMA versions as well.
Quite Honestly, there are better programs anyhow. The Touch pro 2 is much to expensive to be a running or workout radio (as could get damaged) and the only other uses may be in a car or at the office.
The program I use to get Radio, of sorts, is Resco Radio. You can pick it up here at http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/radio/.
Hope this answers your question.
Considering it plays MP3's anyway, why would you consider using it as a radio. It is the least used app on my Rhodium... Only time is if there is a major problem and I'm stuck in traffic, then I have my car stereo...
might as well use slacker if your going for random music pretty good app only thing is its a battery whore. Works great on my VZW TP2.
Where is the FM radio in the X5? . In the description of the phone it is listed. Unfortunately I can not find anywhere this application.
Hardware supports fm radio, but there is no software to use it... Its a disinfomation...
porting FM?
I tried to upload an FM radio with HTC and Motorola, but unfortunately when I start the program is stopped. Maybe there is someone who will try to match any of the available online programs to support FM radio?
i hope someone can do it for us.after all the hardware support it.
the unlucky news is that huawei said they will not do it,so we must rely on the other people,like some people here.
FM files
The system files, I found the files to the FM radio, it seems that only lacks a program that would be handled.
Are someone working on getting the FM radio to work? I would really appreciate if someone made it possible!
Registering ALOT of interest in a FM radio
Tried few fm radio apps on cm6.1 alpha4, few from miui rom and one called spirit fm radio. Neither does work. Spirit fm puts out errors on logcat. Miui one dont put out so many errors, but it says that audio is routed to hdmi and mute is on.
But maybe there is hope
fm
I installed it FMRadio. Although radio is not working but the program is not interrupted (FC). When you receive the "FM working ...." select button "back". the menu works. Radio comes with ROM DroidX. This is the only program FMRadio that I managed to install. It is worth to work on it.

My dreams are coming true, i hope the community gets behind this!
I have not had proper FM for years.
I've installed the FMRadio.apk but when I launch it, it sits on "FM Radio is being launched, please wait..."
If i go 'Back' i can access the menu, select a frequency and even set a preset, but it doesn't play.
According to Huawei Norway the x5 does not have the hardware to support fm radio.
The phone seems to have FM radio (the kernel initializes the chip and sets audio routes for fm), but those apps from Moto/HTC etc phones are designed for either for TI or Broadcom chips so won't work. There's also the possibility that the chip antenna isn't connected to the headphone jack so even if everything else is there you won't be able to get reception.
I did a bit of searching and there is a Qualcomm FM radio app.. might be an idea for someone to build this and see what it can do (probably it won't work, but you never know).

chould some work it out? i wilk wait!
Is anyone still still looking into this?
This is the one feature that the x5 is missing that would make it a killer phone for the price point.
No news with Radio?

Hi guys,
How do we know fm radio chip is not connected? Is there any document confirming that or did any one opened the phone to check that? I have seen a thread where people were talking about enabling disabled fm radio in different phone.

Well, there's a binary (in /system/bin/ but I can't remember its name) that communicates with the FM radio driver. And when I was playing around with it, there are some options like changing band or checking info, info was null (or no signal)...
So I guess we really can't make FM radio work just with software.
Maybe that binary came from an early Defy ported Rom, along with the driver, I don't know...
Please link the other thread you saw.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
as i read on development forum: "milestone 2 has the hw to play fm radio, its 'just' not wired. so unless you're crazy enough to open your phone and wire it yourself, no fm radio for milestone and that's it"
I don't know how is it about hw side - except the information already mentioned in the post above.
I only tried fm tuner binary, application and library pack from driod 2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769894), but without success - the radio application didn't even correctly started - I thought it will work, but only without signal - 'cause it is not wired to antenna...
I agree with post #2 - unfortunatelly it is shame, but it is - i think - impossible to get it work only with sw way... But I'm also still interested in some prove or source about fm tuner hardware situation in Milestone 2..
Download and install Tunein Radio. It's the best choice...trust me (at least here in Brazil).
hello, i hae mini s4 i9195.
yestarday i was update my firmware by kies.
again the lte4 option was disapper so i root my device and edit the persist.radio.lteon file.
now my fm radio is not work...i really need help beacuse i'm using the fm radio every day and allmost all day.
i have tune in but still i prefere the fm radio. thx.
that's my firmware
Sources conflict. Most say your device doesn't have a FM receiver. I know the I9505 doesn't and that's the worldwide model.
Xiia Live is a better choice in my opinion than Tune In, which is why I switched to the pro version when it was advertised on Amazon at a price of zero. Where I once had three different radio apps (TuneIn, iHeartRadio, DI.FM) Xiia allowed me to consolidate into one app all the stations I listen to, plus allowed me to add external radio streams such as Radio Rivendell.
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
