ATT LG Optimus G E970. Does it have an FM radio?

Does anyone know if it has built in FM reciver? And if so what app can be used?

don't think so

How unhelpful - the question was does it have it not might it have it...

Although best app to use for radio is TuneIn Radio but you need Internet access for it to work.

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.

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.

Did you already tested?. I will try tonight but I think this requires wifi direct, but lets see.

Requires WiFi direct and compatible, powerful enough hardware (Snapdragon S4 and beyond). That means no love for us.

WiFi Direct have not hardware limitations, it limited only by sertification of devices. And Xperia S is not sertificated only because of Sony. I currently investigating how to port and enable WiFi Direct and screen mirriring for Xperia S for month. The problem is that qualcomm has not released wifi drivers with p2p functionality for S3 processor which we have. BUT on test firmware of HTC Sensation WiFi Direct seen working, and i currently searching for files in that ROM which i must copy. If anyone could help - try to find what files, drivers, libs etc. are needed to setup this features.

Why do you think so? If WiFi Direct have no such limitations, and Screen Mirroring which working over WiFi Direct, why it should have such limitations. It is open source technologies, but it is very strange open source - i couldn't find any sources on the web. So it's up to us to find how it work.
I investigated that there is only one device in the world wits Snapdragon S3 8260 which have WiFi Direct in official firmware - it is Asus Eee Pad MEmO 171. i have it's firmware, but it is in raw disk image formate and it didn't opening in any utility. Could someone help? link to firmware 625 Mb

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'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.

[App][KK] SDRadio

Well, this app is a simple modification for the normal fm radio app (kitkat).
You can now hear radio without headset plugged in
And this app has an extended frequency range from 10Mhz to 200Mhz.
Download it here: arcardy.bplaced.net/SDRadio/ (i cant post the real link because of the 10-post limitation)
But theres a bug: You can select for example 133,7Mhz but you wont here 133,7Mhz. You will here the last legal frequency from your band. I dont think this is a hardware limitation, this must have something to do with the software. But i couldnt find a solution yet
So stay tuned and it would be nice if you could help me
Also it would be nice if you can test this app under jelly bean.
