In LG G3 vs SGS5 comparison/review GSMArena stresses FM radio as "G3 over S5" but only for the Euro version.
(I have watched many YouTube videos for G3 that are found there at the moment, all Korean model, none of them was Euro or so called international model, and have not seen a FM Radio app icon on those reviewed devices). Dunno if it was the case in G2 too, but G2 has FM radio, at least in Euro version.

Defiantly not on my G3 F400L (Korean model) I understand why, the korean model has TV one better.

FM Radio is the reason I'm buying a G3, its confirmed on the specs for the French G3, I would have got a note 3 but they took the radio off it, so well done LG in keeping it!

If you try it out, could you let us all know how it goes? I am interested in buying either the T-Mobile or AT&T version and am curious to see how this works.
Sprint version has fm radio
Seems the T-Mobile G3 does not have FM radio. The app above launches but all these notifications pop up saying "Mock" in front of them when you try to do anything. Get no audio and the scanning clearly isn't actually scanning FM. Possibly locked and requires root but certainly not working or existing without.

I have the D852 and there is no FM radio.
Installing the APK gives Mock:xxxx messages.
Probably the FM radio is disabled.
I also wanted to have the FM working.
Maybe if rooted there might be a way to reactivate it, but for the moment there is no way.
Anyone know a way to get FM working ?
Thanks.

No, it's probably the same story as with the G2:
International (D802 for G2, D855 for G3) has usable FM, as does Sprint (LS980 for G2).
Everything else does not support FM, and FM is physically and unfixably disabled (at least on G2 proven so far).
So, No FM includes Korea, Canada, US variants for ATT, VZN and T-Mobile (but not Sprint, who gets a ransom from US FM stations). Also tends to include any LTE variants (Can't have Americans using "foreign" phones with LTE+FM).
In the G2, there is actually a rare case of a special chip that is missing, that switches between FM and BT ports. But even without that, disabled models have FM antenna pins on FM/combo chips tied unfixably to ground to disable in hardware.
G3 uses Qualcomm FM + Qualcomm audio, so the only hardware disablement known is grounding the antenna pin.
Anyway... If rooted, try this June 18 test release of Spirit2: http://d-h.st/rYw or July 31 here: http://d-h.st/afc
Rooted or not, try Spirit1: http://d-h.st/rbk

When I was using this app, I got a bunch of static, but it was picking up the channels I normally get?
Sent from my AT&T LG G3
For any Turkish users, our hardware version is actually D855tr which does not have FM radio. This is supposedly due to the high cost of TRT (state broadcasting company) fees. Only if you get your phone through an alternate channel (paralel ithalat) will you get a G3 with FM radio.
By the way, installing the apk from another phone does not work. The hardware is reportedly not there.

[Q] does AT&T E980 have FM radio?
Hello, I just bought this today locally and couldn't find the FM radio app. Does anyone know if this phone has FM radio? according to lots of sites, the specs state that it does, so I'm kinda bummed. I got the AT&T version by the way, which is E980 thanks!

optimus g pro in which models radio is avaible?

As far I know all models have the same hardware. You can show me the link please?
The specs shown in gsmarena.com also confused me. I thought LG Optimus G Pro had FM Radio because it was indicated there. They should correct that, although the phone is still AWESOME even without it.

[Q] Sprint LS980 Penta LTE band (5 bands)
Hi there, I hope that I'm posting on the right place and sorry for my bad english. I've searched everywhere on the web for infos about the sprint lg g2 ls980 lte limitations, and there are quite a lot of suggestions that the limitation is hardware level. Today I found a guy that sells ls980 on ebay and he guaranties that the llimitation is sofware based and that the ls980 that he sells is open to 5 lte bands. He told me that you just need to instruct the modem to communicate on those frequencies. Is this possible, a scam, something new.??... Please do comment about this subject, all comments are wellcome. I can't post the link for the ls980 on sale, but the sale title on ebay is : LG G2 32GB Unlocked Worldwide & Rooted Smartphone Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean The seller is : droid_toy For info, I have an ls980, allready flashed the same rom the guy uses but no 4g on band 7 with my sim card, and he states that the band 7 works on hes ls980. Thank you,
I'm sure its possible maybee even more but good luck on the radio thats carrier based Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
Ive heard/seen such things, but not all devices can do that do take it with a grain of salt. Article has link to FCC site and bands tested: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=12696

Click to collapse I don't really know how the guy has done it... Allready tryed, with an d801 from tmob, to flash it with an d802 rom, then flash an d801 kernel and no other ltes other then the original ones. The weird thing is that if then I try to flash just the radio over all this it will brick, what I find weird since the rom is allready a d802 rom and it is just the boot that is from a d801. (Flashing boot and radio changes commun things?) Anyway, back to subject, if this method fails then on ls980 it also fails... How it is possible to have other radios on ls980 and he acctually accepts then well? Also the d801 when unlocked by code doesn't unlock other lte bands, so for ls980 it is not that either... I haven't tryed yeat, but I belive that with an d802 base rom on ls980 we gain access to same dial codes then d802, so it turns out to be possible to unlock the phone by code. Am I correct? How can it possibly be done, can you point me some directions on how to try to unlock the lte bands?
Hi there, No suggestions, no ideas, anyone? Is it possible that the lte band permission are guiven by the kernel?
it is not a pentaband phone and it is a hardware limitation so buyer beware and don't get ripped off

According to this site http://pdadb.net/ both ls980 and d802 models share the exact same processor, and this processor has the modem integrated, so, booth models should have the same capabilities. What am I missing? Is there any other chip associated with the modem and responsable for the bands comunication? Thanks in advance,

Click to collapse its not the chipset that is the problem it is the actual physical antennas you can have the same chipset in all models but the actual antennas are different making it not possible to pick up the other signals. Thats what makes it a hardware issue Also I can not find the seller on ebay

As I think I've understood on the web, the 4g antenna is a part of the flex,/micro/charger piece. As I have a few spare parts, I tryed to use a d802 motherboard with a flex cable I had from an ls980, to try and see if I would loose my band 7 4g on the d802. Didn't worked at all, the d802 couldn't detect a sim card with that combination, whitch I find a bit weird as result since the sim is connected to the noard... Next step, I'm waiting for some parts to try a combo ls980 board flashed with a rayglobe firmware + d802 flex cable (4g antenna). I don't have much hope but, hey, we never know...
News? Some news?
FM radio spirit FM
Hey so I'm seeing various answers in regards to our phones having FM radio capability in the hardware or not, some people are saying it doesn't period since LG didn't put it in from the factory , others are saying on some international models of the LG optimus G pro, they have this capability. I know for sure the phones don't come with the FM radio APK period but I recently came across the Spirit FM radio app that has the FM radio working on the LG G2 even, was wondering if our phones have the hardware to run FM radio or not or if the FM radio board is grounded? I run the app and it tells me to connect a headset and at first I was actually getting a signal but eventually dropped to 0, went through lots of posts in which some users said it works some said its impossible, my model is the e980 by ATT so its possible my board is grounded since its not international
I'm a owner of the international model, e986, fm radio was the only feature I misses from my previous device. Like you, I want to now witches boards have this ability. I think isn't possible to activate the radio with software.
[Q] FM Radio for Snapdragon US variant there ?

It would appear that it doesn't or that it's disabled by default.

Fm Still lives US FCC requires it for use in Emergencies. Samsung was threatened with a Lawsuit on that one. It is in the S20. You need an adapter for the USB-c port to headphone jack and plug in a headphone cable (antenna) THEN try to find it. It works on a ATT reseller phone.
Has any developer been able to find the FM radio "on/off" switch on any ROM they worked with? NextRadio seems to be the only app that can see if the radio is enabled. I have the unlocked no carrier version of the S20 Ultra. I won't be seeing any unlocked FM radio any time soon. I've had luck with my T Mobile S7 Edge FM radio. If T Mobile were to unlock the S20 FM radio, would flashing a T mobile Rom fix me up with a working FM radio?
