Is there any ROM out there that unlocks the FM radio for the epic. I read that it is either hardware or software locked by the stock build. Any app for it as well?

Try Tune-In Radio App. It's free and has most stations AM and FM. It doesn't have the stations that the crappy Iheart Radio has the rights to but it has most of them and works great!

I believe he's looking for the fm tuner, not software to stream radio off the internet.
As far as OP:
Not yet, someone had been working on trying to get it working on 2.1 kernels but so far no luck. Hopefully somone will take up that torch with 2.2+ eventually.

Yes, I was speaking about the FM tuner. Sorry for not clarifying. I used this feature often when I had my EVO and read that the EVO and EPIC share the same radio (chip). This would be a great if a dev could get this working.
i like to stream since i dont get the silly am or fm static or noise if you will. I had an evo and used the fm radio from time to time but it really needs the am band as well for us talk radio folks. I love talk radio on my Epic 4g and usually use wunder Radio or Tune in Radio or CBS Radio or i just use a pod cast player like mediafly or .podcast
bumping this instead of creating a new thread.
anyone know what the deal is? hardware disabled or not? sparked my curiousity since there are options in the voodoo sound control app...
I had an app from the european Galaxy S that would launch the widget, but it would report the FM Radio as off, and would not scan for stations until the radio was turned on
At one point I thought I saw a 2.1 settings APK that had the turn on fm radio option, but have never been able to find it again.
Whats the point of disabling something that they can sell as a feature???? i m not doubting..just curious as to why is samsung doing that...
i dont think their is an built in fm radio like their is on the htc evo. I know congress want to make it a law to include a fm radio but why bother when you can stream the stations. I also say forget fm and also include an AM radio band as i love talk radio.....
I'm a bit confused as to whether there is an fm radio on this device (still product researching). From what I understand the specs at various location indicate it has a fm radio; the user manual talks about the sprint fm radio (which is radio over inet) and there is no default radio application installed.

Does anyone know if there is actually an fm radio and if you installed an fm app does it work ?
No and the gs2 radio app wont turn on fm so they might have left fm out

Hello there,
As the registration video pointed out to me that i'm a noob i have noob question.
Im running Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 By mike1986
with these radio thingies.
12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
But my gps isn't getting a fix. What is wrong with my phone settings?
Hope to hear from you.
Greetings

Hello.. Maybe try flashing the AGPS patch from this thread.
Here's the direct link... flash that through recovery and see if it works
And if you are having crappy GPS accuracy once you lock, your best bet is just to find some way to get a solid connection from the GPS antenna to the motherboard.
Question is if you've had problems with gps fix since flashing Mike's rom or has it happened after a while.
Next question is what navi software do you use.
I tried two navi programs: Google's and beta version of Automapa (although beta is closed for now)
GPS always gets fix after couple of seconds. With Automapa it is also very accurate. Google is worse than Automapa but still quite good.
Both programs were running on ARHD 6.3.1
Anyway I'd try reflashing with full wipe again. Or maybe try newer (or older) version of ARHD?
Regards
Rafal
There are several possibilities:
1) environmental - try again outside, in plenty of open space. Try with & without your case, if you're using one.
2) config: download FasterFix from the market and choose your preferred server (there is a preconfigured list, but you can also type your own in: Spain is es.pool.ntp.org France is fr.ntp.pool.org etc) also check out GPS Test, also from the market, and you will see exactly how many satellites are in view etc.
3) hardware - bad connection. If you can't get a result from 1 or 2, well maybe there is a bad connection (the GPS antenna is around the flash). This is unlikely, I'd say.
A reboot may help to clear the cache - as suggested above, a superwipe is the way to clean before flashing a new ROM. You can also clear caches from Recovery.
First do some testing before install any patches.
Go out under clear sky and after activate gps sattelites from settings, download and run from market the Gps Test apk.
Write us the results here.How many satellites and after how much time did you get.
I`maar also noob without same issue. Same rom and same radio.
Before flashing, gps worked flawless, after flashing no more fix.
Even the quality of the signal for calling is nota wat it was.
Tried 3 navigation apps, open area,... nothing works.
I really Need the gps, so i`m thinking of unrooting if there isn't aan sollution.
Or could this be solved by flashing an stock rom ? Any tips or hints are welcome
Thanks in advance!
Personally i reccommend this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318892
it seems a bit risky,but it shouldnt be a problem opening the flash case. Im not into soldering, and im afraid of burn motherboard,so i just pulled up the golden springs a bit,cleaned with alchool, an voilà! fix in < 10 seconds with < 20 meters precision.
hope it helps.
It seems to me that if gps worked stock, the hardware is ok
Yeah try the Rom in my signature its awsome :thumbup:

I had problem with my GPS too. It's doesent a rom or radio problem. In other thread it's show how to hardware hack the GPS under flash cover of our dhd. I won't hardware hack so gently push down the flash cover. Go out and GPS status and gmaps fix in less then 10 sec.

i'm noob with rooting phones, but not with pc's or other electric equipment.
If i say gps worked FLAWLESS on my stock DHD, how can my antenna suddenly be defected after flashing a rom?
I even went to open field with NOTHING in a 500m radius
it has to be something software....
i'll try to flash other rom like someone suggested...
already thanks for the replies!
check if GPS is broken?

I have the same problem! My GPS is running but it cannot find any sattelite!
Is ther any method to check the GPS if there is a hardware problem or a software problem?
Maybe there is a logging like "logcat" for GPS which i can check?
I'd recommend trying the app Faster Fix. You select your region, and it sets the correct GPS configuration data. If that's the issue, that app will solve it.
Also worth trying the app AGPS Inject, which downloads GPS assist data when opening gps apps like gmaps.
Also recently removed the letters "supl" from the APN type in the data access point settings. Resulted in a faster fix.

Thank you Swell6 for your tips, but nothing helped!
I think it's an hardwareproblem.
Does someone know where in the phone the GPS Module is sitting?
With the dhd there's a known hardware issue with the GPS antenna, which is part of the black plastic led cover. Over time it can lose contact with the main board, and sometimes just pressing it in can fix it. If it needs more, there's loads of posts on what can be done. Worth a try!

Hi, first of all i'm sorry for my english.
Someone knows a good Radio FM app?
i've tried spirit (all people say that is the best), and seems to find the radio stations but no sound, and spirit2 keeps all time starting but don't work. Of course i've not tried to pay the program in store because i don't wan't to pay 5€ for a non working app...
I'm using a Xperia S lt26i with CM10.1.
Thanks!!
Hi all. So I bought the LG G3 D855 model & received it this morning. So was working great，tested FM radio which worked fine too. So I rooted the phone，went on a train trip & tested out the FM radio. Doesn't work anymore， says mock fm enabled，mock radio unmated something like that. Can someone please help to give me a solution to enable it，I'm one of the few who loves their fm radio so would love to get it working again. Thanks
