Back long ago, I had a Motorola E815 flip phone.
It had an FM radio.
My DROIDx had an FM radio.
My Thunderbolt had an FM radio.
Our Gym broadcasts audio for the TVs over FM radio.
I've just received the G3.
Is there an app or combination of apps or hacks that can take me back 10 years to plug in the wired headset and tune the station?
thanks!

Works fine with the build in app, at least for me, are you sure you have the international variant?
Another option would be spirit fm, worked fine for me on the s3 on aosp roms which had no fm support out of the box, but if you don't have the d855 you won't have the hardware for it, so it also won't work.

That is the issue. I'm on verizon and i think they disabled the radio as they have done in the past.
NextRadio is the App Sprint supplied for the Sprint LG G3, there are some others on the Google Play store that use hardware tuners. You'd have to be sure to pick the ones that are true FM tuners.
Does anybody knows how to enable STEREO sound in stock FM radio app? It does only mono reception
I tried root and Spirit FM v2, it plays in stereo, but sound is very choppy :/

Hi all,
Is there a way to activate the FM transmitter built in the SnapDragon processor?
I want to use it to listen music in the car via FM radio.
I heared that Modaco worked on it ... true?
Any idea of how I can get it work?
Thanks,

Might have been asked before but... I tried out the FM radio app on CM7 yesterday and it turns on the Bluetooth radio. Why does this happen and is it necessary? Bluetooth is such a battery hog that I will probably never use it again.
Decided to use Pandora while cuting the grass instead.
thats weird because the stock fm app just needs headohones pluged in
What I mean is when you open the app it turns on the bluetooth radio and if you turn off the radio it kills the FM radio.
Same here. CM7 FmRadio uses Bluetooth to capture signal .... so if you close the bluetooth while litening to Radios , it will also kill the radio.....
I don't see something logic in this..... Really wish for an asware....
I do believe the Bluetooth and FM Radio Reciever are on the same chip. This may just be some trickery to get the FM Radio to work properly.
Bluetooth and fm reciever are on the same chip and in order for fm to be on chip has to be active and because fm doesnt have a control switch (on off setting) it activates Bluetooth instead thus making fm radio work.

If that's the case why it's not turning on in my stock fm gb rom.

I don't think there is source for fm radio so this is how they made it work by reverse engineering it. Just like they did with wimax before the code was open sourced.
I just rooted and flashed CM7.1. It's working perfectly and is blazing fast.
I need to take a few trips to Canada in the next couple weeks. Normally for my radio needs I would use streaming radio (car FM radio is broken in my 99 Accord, aux works fine), but since I want to avoid data roaming charges that's not an option.
I tested out the FM Radio and it works just fine. Strong signal and everything. The only problem is I can't scan for stations. I tried Spirit FM but the scan function doesn't seem to work.
Anyone got a solution for me?
I use TuneIn Radio so I can listen to NPR on the way to work. I just realized you can browse stations by country too! May want to check it out.

This doesn't use FM it uses data, so it's not what he's looking for.
I want an FM radio/tuner. I just reROMed my phone to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and lost the original FM radio app. I don't use mobile internet, so can't stream stations, so I need a regalar FM radio.
I searched Google Play, but they all seem to be streaming apps, except FM Two 0: which says it won't run on my phone as it doesn't have reckogised RDS hardware. FM Radio by Sutton Shin, doesn't do anything, just sits there saying FM Radio is being launched. Please wait...
Spirit FM Radio is a "pay for" app, which I don't have problem with, but would like to know if it actually works on the Gio.
SPIRITFM works fine
Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I tried all apps avaliable for Gio and SpiritFM is the only one that works other than the stock radio app.
I also tried lot's of radio apps, but the only one's i liked are TuneIn Radio Pro and XiiaLive. TuneIn seems to be the best with unlimited radio stations and new ones added periodically. If you want it free Xiia live iyour choice.
But i advice you to try TuneIn Radio Pro ( it gets lot's of local radio stations too).

hello. I have s3 neo and hasnt radio fm tuner. have any proposal? to put Freeware need to unlock the device(root)? if you give me so please link from the website. Thank you.
Does anyone know how to fix the radio on the us991 g4? It didn't come with the original radio app so I downloaded it from somewhere else and when I plug in my headphone for the radio, no audio plays? Its running Android 6.0
AFAIK, your model doesn't support fm radio. so no point downloading the app.
You can check the list of supported devices by NextRadio app to see if your phone has a built-in FM radio.
