Might have been asked before but... I tried out the FM radio app on CM7 yesterday and it turns on the Bluetooth radio. Why does this happen and is it necessary? Bluetooth is such a battery hog that I will probably never use it again.
Decided to use Pandora while cuting the grass instead.
thats weird because the stock fm app just needs headohones pluged in
What I mean is when you open the app it turns on the bluetooth radio and if you turn off the radio it kills the FM radio.
Same here. CM7 FmRadio uses Bluetooth to capture signal .... so if you close the bluetooth while litening to Radios , it will also kill the radio.....
I don't see something logic in this..... Really wish for an asware....
I do believe the Bluetooth and FM Radio Reciever are on the same chip. This may just be some trickery to get the FM Radio to work properly.
Bluetooth and fm reciever are on the same chip and in order for fm to be on chip has to be active and because fm doesnt have a control switch (on off setting) it activates Bluetooth instead thus making fm radio work.

If that's the case why it's not turning on in my stock fm gb rom.

I don't think there is source for fm radio so this is how they made it work by reverse engineering it. Just like they did with wimax before the code was open sourced.

I was wondering if anyone know of an app that would allow you to use the fm transmitter on the evo to push a signal to another fm radio?
So, basically you would be able to connect your phone to a car radio.
Would this even possible with the fm radio on the evo?
AFAIK, the FM radio is only for receiving. there has not been an implementation of FM broadcast (yet). I don't know that it is on any dev's "to-do" list either.
I want an FM radio/tuner. I just reROMed my phone to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and lost the original FM radio app. I don't use mobile internet, so can't stream stations, so I need a regalar FM radio.
I searched Google Play, but they all seem to be streaming apps, except FM Two 0: which says it won't run on my phone as it doesn't have reckogised RDS hardware. FM Radio by Sutton Shin, doesn't do anything, just sits there saying FM Radio is being launched. Please wait...
Spirit FM Radio is a "pay for" app, which I don't have problem with, but would like to know if it actually works on the Gio.
SPIRITFM works fine
Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I tried all apps avaliable for Gio and SpiritFM is the only one that works other than the stock radio app.
I also tried lot's of radio apps, but the only one's i liked are TuneIn Radio Pro and XiiaLive. TuneIn seems to be the best with unlimited radio stations and new ones added periodically. If you want it free Xiia live iyour choice.
But i advice you to try TuneIn Radio Pro ( it gets lot's of local radio stations too).

hello. I have s3 neo and hasnt radio fm tuner. have any proposal? to put Freeware need to unlock the device(root)? if you give me so please link from the website. Thank you.
Hi guys. I am using ice's PA. The stock HOV had a FM Tuner and CMs dont. I was wondering if it is possible to install an FM tuner app? Just to be clear, I dont want FM that streams from a data connection. I am talking about the one where you have to connect your headset to listen to it.
Thanks.
EDIT: I tried installing the app located here: http://d-h.st/vEg. It exits with an error.
nope there is only one good radio app that is Spirit FM(paid)
Back long ago, I had a Motorola E815 flip phone.
It had an FM radio.
My DROIDx had an FM radio.
My Thunderbolt had an FM radio.
Our Gym broadcasts audio for the TVs over FM radio.
I've just received the G3.
Is there an app or combination of apps or hacks that can take me back 10 years to plug in the wired headset and tune the station?
thanks!

Works fine with the build in app, at least for me, are you sure you have the international variant?
Another option would be spirit fm, worked fine for me on the s3 on aosp roms which had no fm support out of the box, but if you don't have the d855 you won't have the hardware for it, so it also won't work.

That is the issue. I'm on verizon and i think they disabled the radio as they have done in the past.
NextRadio is the App Sprint supplied for the Sprint LG G3, there are some others on the Google Play store that use hardware tuners. You'd have to be sure to pick the ones that are true FM tuners.
Does anybody knows how to enable STEREO sound in stock FM radio app? It does only mono reception
I tried root and Spirit FM v2, it plays in stereo, but sound is very choppy :/
Doe`s anyone know if the Galaxy Note 3 T Mobile device has the FM radio chip in it or not. I have searched T Mobile and have googled
but nothing positive or negative whether it has it not. I want to use the next radio app but the app say`s it can`t access my FM radio receiver.
Can anyone help please.
Thankyou.
The Note 3 will not support Next Radio due to the lack of a built-in configurable FM tuner.
most stations have their own app or an app that has their station in it. i know ive seen some local radio stations here that has their own app
Yes the phone has an FM chip but it's not active. We've looked into and worked on installing the correct BCM driver for the Broadcom chip, but so far there is no way to get it active.
