[Q] FM Radio?

Please excuse me if this has already been addressed but has anyone gained access or control of the FM radio chipset in the G2. It's my understanding that the G2 has a FM radio with RDS. I also remember reading a post on this forum about someone verifying the existence of a FM emission from a G2 on a constant freq. but this was before anyone had even temp root if i remember correctly. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Its in CM6

Sweet, can it transmit? My wife wants to play her music in the car.

They had to reverse engineer access to the chip since HTC wouldn't release the source so, for now, it can only receive as sorting out the transmit will take time and there's more pressing issues (like Gingerbread!).

FM receive is also in Visionary ROM. I am using version 0.9.0 and can highly recommend it. I don't think it does transmit in this config, however.

Giving this a bump.....
Is FM transmit upcoming in cyamogenmod 7 by any chance?

You might want to look into buying a Motorola MotoROKR.
I use it every day, and its GREAT. connect your phone to it via bluetooth, then pump any audio that would normally come out your phone, to your car speakers, with NO wires..... its GREAT.
Highly recommended.

I don't it transmits either. Or I can't find it at least how to make it do so. Receiving it does a great job though

a transmitter would make this phone complete :]

good news, i thought it was cut from hardware.

no antenna? They might not have thought it was an important feature and didn't give it an antenna (like HTC), and not had the insight to let the headphones act as an antenna (unlike HTC).

FM Radio - again

I know there is another topic with similar info... however after reading through several posts, I am still unclear if the FM hardware is physically disabled or if it is simply a software block?
Has anyone with an unlocked phone found a way to get the FM radio to work?

Isn't accessible in the Car app? And then later on there was an update for the TuneIn Radio app and that's where I get my FM radio now.

I am pretty sure it is a software block.

Is this possible guys?

A new app called NextRadio allows you to access FM radio using the preexistent FM radio tuners in modern cell phones along with the headphones as an antenna. The site for the app is nextradioapp.com. When trying to use the app on the E980, it says that it is not supported in the ROM. Anyway more information about the FM tuners can be found at freeradioonmyphone.org. Would it be possible to add support to current ROMs to enable the app to work on the E980 model of the phone and its variants? I'm just curious because this is a feature I have always wanted on my phone and I used to have it back on my Motorola Atrix 2 but all the phones I've had after that haven't had that feature. If it is possible to get it working on this phone it would be awesome.

Unfortunately if you have the E980 (which is the AT&T model I hope) they {AT&T} have removed the whole FM radio chip from what I know. So the next radio app won't work and you can't get any rom that would support it.

You are right... on e980 or e986 (mine) won´t work fm radio. e988 international version does have fm radio chip

FM radio (rooted phone)

I understand that HTC disables the FM radio function at Verizon's request but that when the phone is rooted, it will work like normal. My phone is rooted but with the HTC FM radio app or NextRadio, all I get is static.
Does anyone have it working? Just thought to try a different set of headphones too...

My scans but only finds one station which is only static becuz i dont have 87.7 in my area ... on viper 2.2.0

Mine scans as well, finds nothing, and stays on 87.7. You can manually tune to whatever frequency you want.Using NextRadio, it does list all of my local stations but I figure it just determines my area and lists them.

So is FM radio possible on a Verizon M9? From what I have read Verizon disabled the FM chip. Or had HTC remove it entirely. I can't find an answer for this.

I think we all need to write Verizon to demand they give us back our FM radio. This is the only way to reach them unfortunately. Calling does no good.
