No need to close the thread IMO; Only thing that seems proven is that most Optimus G's, including ATT's, have no stock FM app included.
FM was touted some time back, but I've been finding it hard to find an Optimus G variant with working FM. Korean F180 perhaps ?
Any schematics out there ?
If the FM receive antenna pin is connected to the wired headset jack, then FM should be possible, just as it is on the ATT HTC OneX LTE w/ S4 & WCN3660. (OG has 3660 for Bluetooth & WiFi, right ?)
Could someone try my FM app here and send me a debug log ? I'd prefer to see a rooted device logs, but stock is a start: http://d-h.st/UwH
Use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and after 20 seconds or so, press Send, or get file from /sdcard/sprt_debug.txt .
If the antenna pin is connected, FM should be possible, but this may require a custom kernel at least.
My interest is more in the similar Nexus 4, but I have enough debug info on it so far, at least until someone enables FM in a custom kernel. We don't know if Nexus 4 antenna pin is connected yet.
The Nexus 4 thread is here, for anyone interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963623&page=13

That's not too surprising if Spirit doesn't have root/SU.
If you want to send me a debug log, use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds.
A log won't give me too much useful info though, unless Spirit has root.

I did allow Spirit root privileges. I sent the email off with logs. Attached to this post is a screenshot when I open Spirit, to help you if needed.
If I go to the debug menu (3845#*970#) then WCDMA-only, there is an FM radio test, but it seems non-functional. I attached a screenshot of it as well.

Thanks !
The positive includes the usual FM controls in the ALSA audio driver, and a virtual APPS_FM directory which is common too.
There is no sign of radio-iris or radio-iris-transport.ko kernel drivers though.
So at minimum, a kernel with those drivers enabled needs to be loaded to see if FM can work and the antenna pin is connected.
It may be possible to flash a ROM from an Optimus G variant that supports FM. But I have no idea if that's possible without bricking the phone or creating other problems.
If anyone finds info on an Optimus G variant with FM (F-180 ?) please post. A ROM dump from such a variant would be useful.

Apparently the Japanese variant, the LGL21 I believe, supports over the air TV, but not fm... Any chance a system dump of that could be helpful? I don't have this model, but I could see about finding a dump. From what I've been finding out it seems no model supports fm radio out of the box.

I doubt it will help the cause of FM, but you never know. I'd be happy to look at a system dump briefly, or a debug log from the free version of Spirit, using Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs. ( http://d-h.st/pnT )
BTW, somebody finally got a kernel with FM drivers loaded on a Nexus 4. The FM chip "works" just fine, but RSSI is always 0 or negative, which usually means the FM antenna pin is not connected. Which means the N4 can't have FM.
And this might even imply the Optimus G doesn't have usable FM either. Somebody could try that N4 kernel or a similar one, if it's possible to share kernel without bricking.
From a practical perspective for me, now that the N4 seems "semi-proved" to have no FM, I'm not really too interested in the Optimus G at this point.

Would be great, but I don't have this phone, so somebody with the phone needs to do testing.
Here's some info from the N4 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963623&page=13
There is only one configuration I've seen work on devices with the Qualcomm S4/S4+ SOC and Qualcomm WCN3660 FM/BT/WiFi combo chip:
- radio-iris driver compiled into the kernel.
- radio-iris-transport driver built as a loadable module.
Building the transport driver into the kernel doesn't work, for whatever reason.
MANY devices, even those without FM, now have a /system/etc/init.qcom.fm.sh shell script file which mostly does an insmod on /system/lib/modules/radio-iris-transport.ko .
My app, or a system/root portion of the framework or whatever, does this to activate the V4L driver:
"setprop hw.fm.mode normal ; setprop hw.fm.version 0 ; setprop ctl.start fm_dl"
You could also do this, from a root shell:
insmod /system/lib/modules/radio-iris-transport.ko
Or run the QCom FM init script in /system/etc .
...
BTW, with radio-iris loaded (in kernel), but WITHOUT radio-iris-transport loaded (as a loadable), a /dev/radio0 V4L access pseudo-file is created. But trying to use it generally results in a crash and reboot of the phone. Android drivers are often written badly, and crash like this when "unexpected" stuff happens.
I think the same happens when the transport driver is built into the kernel directly.
...
Once both drivers are successfully loaded, you can try my free app here: http://d-h.st/pnT
With a wired headset plugged in for antenna, and when tuned to a strong station, the RSSI at top left should be over 20 or so. Zero or negative likely means no FM antenna connection, like the N4.
Hey Shelnutt, if your still willing to make the test kernel, I could probably test it out.

Not sure why people don't realize this. It takes built in hardware to have radio. The E980 does not have it. Fairly certain the other variants don't either, but I could be wrong. If it did the LG would have listed it as a feature.

Almost every phone has FM circuitry built into the FM/BT/WiFi combo chip.
But on IMO way too many phones, the FM antenna pins(s) are grounded to disable any hope of using it.
In cases where the pin(s) connect through the usual few components to the wired headset jack, the OEM or carrier may not provide the app, and/or various lower level software pieces like libraries or BT stacks with an FM API.
The Optimus G originally did not have FM radio (though early reports claimed yes); it was disabled in hardware, same as the similar Nexus 4.
But the schematics made it look like a last minute decision, perhaps to use the same production line as the much more popular Nexus 4. But some later variants came out with FM enabled and with an app.
If you run my app and send a debug log, we can get some better idea. Latest free version is here: http://d-h.st/vCj . For log use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds. A log from a rooted phone is infinitely preferable for this.
I've seen a file listing of a G2 that shows a reportedly working FM radio.
I sent you logs from e988 just now. Please check possibilities over fm.

I don't approve of "testing" with pirate copies when I provide a free version that is more than sufficient for compatibility testing.
And phones move off of my support list when the piracy level for that phone seems high. Leaves a "bad taste in my mouth" basically.

Thanks for helping.
Turn Bluetooth on and try this September 2 test release of Spirit Free: http://d-h.st/f6D
It supports the new Broadcom FM API on the leaked Android 4.3 for HTC One. This phone, and the new LG G2 seem to be using this new API.
One result is that the Bluetooth "UART" that Spirit uses for low level access is always in use, even if Bluetooth appears to be off.
So unless you turn Bluetooth off, reboot and use ADB shell to manually kill Bluetooth processes, like btld, bluetoothd and/or com.android.bluetooth, this UART mode won't be available. And the Broadcom FM API is the only other way on this phone to access FM (at this software release anyway).
LG MAY have disabled the FM API. Even if not we may still find the FM antenna pin is grounded, rendering it useless.
I saw logs from rooted LG-E986, LG-E980 & LG-E988 and they all showed the same.
If it appears to work, look for RSSI signal strength values at top left of 15 or higher, when tuned and with a wired headset plugged in for antenna.
If it works, audio could be the next obstacle.

As I wrote also on my thread:
Thanks, I have new logs from 2 people and they both show the same.
This phone DOES have the new Broadcom BT/FM stack with an updated API. But the FM part of the stack has been disabled, so there is no FM app besides Spirit that has any chance of working.
But, because there is no new style /system/lib/libbt-hci.so file integrated, as we see in AOSP for Android 4.2+, the only access method is via "HCI UART".
So that means Bluetooth must be off. AND, on this phone/stack, it appears the BT stack ALWAYS keeps the HCI UART open/busy, likely to better deal with the new Bluetooth Low Energy stuff.
This same problem happened on AOSP Android 4.0 ROMs like CM9. In that case though, the BT stack was Bluez and with BT on, Spirit could access the chip via HCI.
The only option here, and we may only need to do this once to test, and maybe verify the FM antenna pin is grounded and FM is impossible, is to do a low level kill of whichever Bluetooth process is keeping the UART open.
Something like this, from adb shell, with Bluetooth off and freshly rebooted, might work:
adb shell
su
killall -9 btld
killall -9 bluetoothd
Then, start Spirit.
Wow this adb stuff out of my league.
Please someone explain how to to that?
adb shell
su
killall -9 btld
killall -9 bluetoothd
help needed as there is chance of running spirit here.

I don't see why not, these S4 800 have FM built in, and today you barely don't need any antenna. So I'm sure it's just a matter of having your OS apps talking to the modem/RF chips... Perhaps by enabling a few NV items. We'll see...
BTW. They can transmit on 76-108 MHz as well!

Don't get your hopes up; it's hard enough to find phones with receive antenna pins connected, nevermind the transmit pins.
The new Broadcom BCM4335/4339/(4334 ?) combo chips don't have FM transmit any more because no phone manufacturer ever uses/supports it.
Not a single readily available 1st world Android device has ever officially supported FM transmit.
Only 2 phones in the last 3-4 years have ever been proven to be able to FM transmit.

Leaked documents say the Qualcomm WCN3660 has 2 FM antenna pins. One is for receive only and is called for "external antenna", usually meaning the wired headset cable.
The other pin is for either transmit, when in the transmit mode, or for receive as "internal antenna", which would mean a small bit of wire or PCB traces inside the phone.
Most Qualcomm WCN3660 FM/Bluetooth/WiFi combination chips are wired for FM Rx "external" antenna pin. One exception I found was Xperia T. In theory I think it should transmit then, but nobody has ever verified (and there is a proven working transmit function in Spirit, works on some Novathor based Sony's, but that's a totally different chip.)
Qualcomm puts out info in news releases etc. that is confusing. They try to claim the WCN3660 is integrated into their SOCs (which these days often has modems in the chip too.)
But AFAICT, every WCN3660 has been a discrete chip, as shown in various teardowns.
Their "integrated" claim actually means they have special Qualcomm proprietary high speed connections between WiFi part of combo chip and SOC. AFAICT. And I've looked, as closely as I can, what with all the secrecy and non-public documents.
Is it possible for developers to get the LG G2 unlock screen effect?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone knows a Radio FM App other than Default Moto G APP that works ON AIR & doesn't uses MOBILE DATA WITHOUT BEING ROOTED.
Let me tell you that i have already tried "Spirit2: Real FM Radio 4 AOSP" & "NEXT RADIO APP'.
NEXT RADIO APP works fine but the only problem with this app is that it doesn't tunes EVEN FREQUENCIES in INDIA like 104, 104.8,102.6,106.4 etc etc.
Guys Do post link if you knows such an app so that i can download from there or upload the same on your google drive
What's the issue with moto radio ?........ Why u want another app...... As u already tried Spirit2 best alternative of default radio......what else you want in a radio app??
Spirit or Spirit 2 is the BEST FM Radio app PERIOD! I've used it for many years. The stock app isn't even in Stereo. I bought a Moto G LTE and am rooting it for the SOLE purpose for FM using Spirit FM.
Now on that note you CAN use Spirit 1 UNROOTED. Get in touch with Mike Reid here on XDA.

Spirit2 works fine on my MotoG test phone, but it requires root.
Spirit1 works without root. The latest 1130 release has a "MotoG detection" fix and should work on some models that it didn't before.

Why i want another Radio app?
Good Question .
Dude i want to switch Radio Channels via my default Headset.
It is possible via an App "Headset Button Controller" & third party radio app.
This experiment works fine with Next Radio App but the only problem in Next Radio App is that here in india it doesn't tunes EVEN FREQUENCIES channels like 104,104.8,102.6,106.4 etc etc
AND when it comes to Rooting, i fear a lot of it as i never ever rooted my Phone & neither my friends have knowledge of it.

Okay..... Download latest version of Spirit 1..... Possible no sound ? problem coz my sister ? use spirit 1 latest version on her non rooted moto g XT1033.... Issue Possible due to some previous version and it doesn't required any special settings to tune ? radio on spirit one thing more If you want to control radio through handsets then follow this setting..... Go to Setting➡UI➡click on media button pause/play➡choose seek up/preset up...... Now you can control radio frequency by pressing handset button ones or twice depending upon whether you choose seek up or preset up...... Hope it helps......
It worked. Cleaned up lengthy post. Purchase the unlocked app. Also responds to headset button.
In free nothing works as in dev thread may be link outdated. Moto OEM is defaulted in automatic audio settings. Unfortunately Motorola settings don't work for moto g phone.
Working settings:
*Band Any, for India keep North America for wider band reach (any band works for me 90+khz range).
* Settings >Audio >
Digital XZ2
Sony Z2
Sony Z2 Alsa
Sony Z/QC Intent
Sony T/QC Intent
Hit thanks if worked.
The above combinations are for informational purpose only contact developer for appropriate settings.
To me sony z2 sounds the best. All the best.

Hello, noted that the volume of FM radio is much lower than in music player ... Is it possible to somehow improve? If not now, then later, with the root?

Maybe you need to change the firmware. H818P and H815P have FM radio initially, but the volume is very low.

In my opinion we have to decompile FM Radio apk and look inside to make volume a bit louder
Can someone plz post the FM radio apk so I can try it on my T Mobile US H811 G4? @wolfgart mind giving it a shot?
Thanks,
Sean
For my Sprint version I had to download an app to do it. Only works with something plugged into the headphone jack.

The apk didn't work and I got another apk and both don't work.. The hardware is there but it's disabled in software... The carriers will have to disable the lock in software or a custom ROM will be needed...
Same here in H815 - very low volume on FM Radio
Bump - Anyone knows how to fix this or familiar with alternative over the air FM app (like spirit1 / spirit 2 - I couldn't get them to work, there was not sound!)

For sure we urgently need a volume bump for FM from LG but they seems don't follows us.
Write on LG Service email

How do I write them?
I'm surprised that no one managed to solve this issue until now - by explaining how to edit the relevant file / uploading a new FMRadio APK file.
They managed to solve the FM radio volume issue on v10c update.
How can I keep my FM transmitter always on.
It is an app, which I must go into every time I turn on my car.
I don't have source code for this android mirror....
If I did, I could probably go into /etc/init.d or something,
but I wonder if there is another way to achieve this....
Note: the FM app came with the mirror, I don't think its from the APP STORE since its hardware related.
Here is the mirror.

How about you use an autostart / start at boot utility and add your fm transmitter to it?

I have to push a button inside the FM transmitter app.... I have used autostart..
I just now wrote the developer and asked him to add that "push a button" upon autostart...
I guess I wish android had a way to "drive" other apps from your own app... Like a screenscraper app somehow...
Thank for the reply...
