Tunein is still internet based. I need the FM modulator.

There is no FM radio with the phone. Samsung did not enable it in the hardware.

Please excuse me if this has already been addressed but has anyone gained access or control of the FM radio chipset in the G2. It's my understanding that the G2 has a FM radio with RDS. I also remember reading a post on this forum about someone verifying the existence of a FM emission from a G2 on a constant freq. but this was before anyone had even temp root if i remember correctly. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Its in CM6

They had to reverse engineer access to the chip since HTC wouldn't release the source so, for now, it can only receive as sorting out the transmit will take time and there's more pressing issues (like Gingerbread!).

FM
FM receive is also in Visionary ROM. I am using version 0.9.0 and can highly recommend it. I don't think it does transmit in this config, however.
Giving this a bump.....
Is FM transmit upcoming in cyamogenmod 7 by any chance?
You might want to look into buying a Motorola MotoROKR.
I use it every day, and its GREAT. connect your phone to it via bluetooth, then pump any audio that would normally come out your phone, to your car speakers, with NO wires..... its GREAT.
Highly recommended.

I don't it transmits either. Or I can't find it at least how to make it do so. Receiving it does a great job though
a transmitter would make this phone complete :]
good news, i thought it was cut from hardware.
Hi
Is there any way to activate the FM radio on the PLAY, not via the internet (which I can't use everywhere, because I don't have an unlimited plan... so expensive in Mexico) actual FM radio, as all Samsung phones do... (they even have FM radio recorder, god I miss that feature on my Jet).
I currently purchased a MW600 Set which have FM radio so I can have it even without the need for the phone, and so far it have been working great, but kind of missing that feature I used to have for 3 years on my previous 2 Samsung phones (Tocco F480 and Jet S8000)
I read somewhere that the phone have the hardware and is capable to run the FM radio but it was blocked by SE for battery saving purposes.
Is there a workaround to unlock it?
Also does anybody else think is funny that the Xperia play is the only Experia without FM radio ? due to it great capabilities it SE should give us the flexiblity to decide if we want it or not.
Thanks
I think it needs to be enabled when making a custom Rom? not to sure
The Xperia Play does not even have an FM radio unlike the other Sony Phones that do have one.
Actually the R800 schematics posted somewhere on this board show it *does* have an FM radio. No idea if it's accessible though.

My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Spica, that phone has a FM Radio which is disabled and noone has been able to get that radio working on XDA or Samdroid. Just don't get your hopes up.

no antenna? They might not have thought it was an important feature and didn't give it an antenna (like HTC), and not had the insight to let the headphones act as an antenna (unlike HTC).
is it possible to have FM Radio on the nexus ??

Nope.
Or, use TuneIn as an alternative. Connects to the internets though so careful on the data usage!
I know there is another topic with similar info... however after reading through several posts, I am still unclear if the FM hardware is physically disabled or if it is simply a software block?
Has anyone with an unlocked phone found a way to get the FM radio to work?
Isn't accessible in the Car app? And then later on there was an update for the TuneIn Radio app and that's where I get my FM radio now.

I am pretty sure it is a software block.
