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!!

Hey guys,
I just got a tilt 2 and have been checking out all the stuff I can do with this phone. I tried using the fm radio application when I first started the stock att rom and it didn't seem to work.
Thinking nothing of it, I went ahead and flashed the energy rom to get some of the nicer things like sense ui.
Anyways, with the new rom, fm radio still doesn't work. Opening it just gives me the 'unexpected error' with no reason. I've tried installing power radio to see if an alternate application would work. Power radio gives me an error that it can't open the radio and it may not be supported.
Anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to be able to use the fm radio on my phone =(
I believe only the Tmobile version has the FM radio. So it would be the Touch Pro 2, not the Tilt2 that has the radio.
My Tilt 2 has a radio on stock ROM. It works fine as long as wired headphones are attached to be used as an antenna.

See, that's the thing. With the stock rom, it had the FM radio application. I tried using it with some headphones and it still gave me the 'unexpected error' message.
Oh.. then I might have just misinformed you. My apologies..

My Tilt2 will actually tell me to plug in headphones if they aren't, as it uses the wire for the antenna.
Aside from that, I do know that the bluetooth drivers have something to do with the FM radio, did you install tomtom or another app that may have overwritten the bluetooth stack? I recall an older version of tomtom doing that to me, can recall if the error was the same, but the app would look like it was starting up and then crash. The problem went away when I flashed a new energy rom. I have since been careful about installing anything that might mess with the bt drivers.
Tilt2 FM Radio
I had the same problem with the radio not working when I first got my Tilt2. I also had a bunch of other programs screwing up. I tried settings, etc. Nothing worked. Talked to [email protected] for hours, What a waste, they are idiots. Finally, even though it was brand new I did a hard reset. This fixed everything. Haven't had a problem since.

I did install tomtom, which did give me the bttrayce.exe error that some have encountered. However, I found the fix for that by installing the new bluetooth files that some have found to work. My bluetooth seems to work OK.
Could I have not done something properly? Is tomtom still screwing with my fm radio?
Well, I solved the problem. I did a hard reset on my phone. (and upgraded to the latest energy rom while I was at it) FM radio works now!
I don't know if it was tomtom or some other anomaly, but it works now... I haven't reinstalled tomtom yet, so I don't know....
Can you please post the link to the rom you installed as i have the same problem with no clue how to solve it
For my HTC Tilt 2, the solution to the failure ("Unexpected Error") when trying to start fmradio.exe was make sure that BTTtrayCE.exe is running.
I had removed the shortcut to BTTrayCE from startup since I very rarely use a BT headset and never use any other BT functions.
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

From what i've read AT&t disables the FM Radio... Would anyone have an idea about getting FM Radio to work?
I flashed Spartaxx's ROM last night and i seen the FM Radio app installed, after i plugg in my headphones i come to find out that FM Radio doesn't work. The app launches, but i cant turn on the radio and scan.

I believe this has been done by AT & T at Hardware level, so no Software will enable FM Radio. This is to make you use your Data allowance on Internet Radio, etc.

Except for Sprint, any G3 from an American carrier has the FM radio disabled at the hw level. IIRC it's done by shorting the radio out by connecting the negative to the ground.
Hi,
F3 seems to support FM Radio. But i cant find a app for radio.
Where is it?
Thx
Edit: oh.. seems we don't have FM Radio :/
Since when? It says everywhere that there is no radio app.

Licencing/certification and similar aside, I guess devices without standard 3.5mm socket cannot have headphones to use it as an fm radio antenna.
This maybe can help
fmradio.apk
No. Radio chip inside
