If I understand you correctly, you want your S2 to transmit audio to your car's FM radio? Yeah, right... First, you need to somehow install an actual FM transmitter into your phone, as no app will magically help you unless the phone is physically capable of transmitting an FM signal (which it's not). That would be quite a DIY project -- let us know how it goes!
Of course, another option is just to buy an FM transmitter -- there are tons of them on the market, for any taste and budget...
I think buying trasmter wasn't bad idea

Our GSII comes with a built in FM Transmitter/Receiver chip. I haven't seen a link on this. Has anyone unlocked the potential of this hardware feature yet? I would love to be able to transmit an FM signal.
Here's the tear down of the phone. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsu...eardown/6481/2
The phone has the Broadcom BCM4330XKFFBG 802.11 a/b/g/n MAC/Baseband/Radio with Integrated Bluetooth 4.0+HS and FM Transceiver/Receiver. Not sure if we're going to have to be rooted to utilize this hardware but we have the internals to broadcast our music to our cars with our phones alone.
Here's more info on the specific chip in question http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wir...utions/BCM4330
Will we need an app or root and a kernel or something?

Looking into this right, it seems like the stock kernel comes with it turned off but I am compiling a new kernel with support, let me c if it works. watch for zedomax v4 soon...
this would totally make this an epic phone!

if it is possible you will then need an app that can broadcast

Spirit FM Radio?
I think sprint FM radio is a Data based streaming application. Has nothing to do with actual FM reception or transmission. As it relates to an app that exists for the international GSII, are you familiar with the name of it? I just want to commend Zedomax again for his tremendous efforts and early historical success as it relates to this device. Thank you very much sir.

Try pushing it with adb. It's a system app. You may need the lib also.

Has anyone found whether or not T-Mobile's GS2 is able to do FM radio? Is there a hack/app for that, or is the hardware just not there?

The sound quality may not be as good, but you can use "Tune In Radio" from the MARKET. Its worth it in my opinion.

Tune In Radio is great. Except in my office where I get $&# for signal. Oh, well. I'm not supposed to have my phone on my at work anyway, so the Zune just has to come to work with me for a while longer.

Spirit FM doesn't seem to work for me on stock. Are you using another rom? If stock, what settings do you use?
Thanks,
It didn't work for me on Bombardier ROM either. I think the earlier post may be correct and we just don't have the hardware.

No it doesn't have it.
It sucks that the only alternative is a radio APP since that will mean you will HAVE to use your data to listen to radio....
Is there anyone who can, knows, or has a way to make the "FM Radio" app that is preinstalled on the galaxy note 2 international, work without headphones?
Also since it is able to receive radio signals; is it possible to somehow mod the file and make it transmit radio waves, so I and many other people can play music on the phone through the car radio system with out buying an external transmitter?
:good:
first post please don't blast me =)
I don't think either of those are possible, as (as far as I know) it uses the headphones as the antenna. You can still play the radio out of the speakers with the headphones plugged in though, if that helps you at all with #1.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
You can use any metallic object as antenna. At least on the old nokias.
Never tried on note 2 though. Also be careful with what you use. It might damage the port.

I was on this site looking at how to take apart the Nexus 7 2, and on this page:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/2
It said "Qualcomm Atheros WCN3660 WLAN a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 (BR/EDR+BLE), and FM Radio Module".
Does that mean this device can support FM Radio?
I saw that too, might be pretty cool. It might have the receiver and no antenna though.

I feel like that's more than likely the case. Which is a real shame. Maybe it's possible to use the headphones as an antenna who knows.
Oh man that would be such a cool option. I use my phone all the time just to listen to the local morning show. If it would work with the Nexus, that would be one more reason to buy this for me.
I am still on the fence about buying one, at least for a couple of months, I want to wait unit some good reviews come out.

Isn't that exactly they work? My phone has an FM receiver and requires the headphones to be plugged in before the app is turned on and uses them as the antenna.

But I am guessing that there is no app loaded on the N7b to use FM radio? Would there be any apps out there for that?
This would be awesome if true for a car install!

You would already have FM in a car, not sure why it would need it for that application. Please explain.

By judging from it's kernel, it uses the qualcomm wcd9310. (I think it's the same found in the n4)

This would allow you to replace your current car audio system (headunit) with the nexus 7.
My current problem is that I depend on the FM radio for music and sports radio.

I d/l the free spirit FM app, bit it just causes my tablet to reboot. That's the thread you would need to follow though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure there is no way that Google allowed the FM antenna pins to be connected anywhere but shorted to ground. Like any Nexus device, if it was FM capable, I'd be thrilled and would rush to get one ASAP.
For this chip, the kernel config needs to include radio-iris into the kernel itself (not a module). AND radio-iris-transport.ko needs to be a module, it can't be in the kernel like radio-iris. Strange, but so. You can insmod the ko, but the official method is to run this as root:
setprop hw.fm.mode normal ; setprop hw.fm.version 0 ; setprop ctl.start fm_dl
If the ko isn't loaded the phone will reboot due to stupidity in the kernel driver.
With the driver loaded properly, Spirit should detect the FM chip OK. Most likely, RSSI signal strength at top left will be negative or zero.
On the IMO very tiny chance RSSI is 10 or higher with a wired headset plugged in, and the frequency set to a good channel, then we can worry about making audio work.
The only Nexus device EVER released with FM hardware capability was the old Nexus One, based on the HTC Desire. And even that required a custom kernel at minimum to get audio.
Any updates to this?

No.
World is still spherical and Google still doesn't support FM.
