Can someone pull the FM Radio apk & upload? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Those of us on Verizon don't get access to the FM Radio. Verizon did the same thing a few years ago with the Motorola Bionic. All it took was the apk from another Motorola with the same chipset & we could use the FM radio. If someone with the radio apk & root access could pull the app & upload it, we may be able to unlock more of our Verizon phone's capabilities.

Don't believe Verizon G4 has the hardware for it.

LG uses NextRadio, it's in the PlayStore. You don't need root.

I believe he is refurring to actual fm tuner that doesn't use data.

NextRadio uses the FM tuner not your data.

My bad, I still think Verizon lacks hardware though, I will check.

Looks like Sprint is the only G4 that does according to their website.

I don't see any fm radio apk from stock (at least where I can look via es file explorer), but next radio fm is working on my sprint phone. There's a couple lines in build.prop that sound relevant but idk, its all I see
media.stagefright.enable-fma2dp=true
lge.fm_gain_control_factor=0.2

What good reason does Verizon have for *not* allowing FM radio? I really don't see how they're benefitting from this

Thanks for the info. I was hoping for an easy solution, like just needing the app, but it looks like it will take some extra work.

They want people to use as much data as possible so they go over their allotment. Free radio equals less streaming, equals less overages, equals less profits.

I found one here...

There is already a thread about this. I posted the apk there a while back

Here's the tmobile-tv.apk file from the MyTouch HD ROM. T-Mobile gives you a 30 day trial and 9.99 per month fee for premium access and i think free for the standard stuff. not sure what's what yet but i tried out a few channels and it works great!
Wow! Thanks! It is working great on my G2!

I believe it does an account check on initial use. it requires you to be on mobile data to start the app the first time, and then after you can stream via wifi if you want.
installed this on my hd2 running android 2.2. it installs, and when i open it, it gets stuck on the magenta t mobile tv opening page and nothing loads. anyone else get this problem?
Edit: got only blank screen when connected to 3g. connected thru wifi, then ran program, got past initial page, search for updates, do you want to start trial, clicked yes, and it said i must disable wifi on first run, so i clicked disable wifi, and then it gets stuck in loading screen. so i get nothing in 3g, in wifi, get somewhere but sent back to 3g. anyone else?
I was just coming to post this, but it looks like you beat me to it.
I just extracted it from the MyTouch ROM, installed it on my G2, and it's working perfectly. I have no intention of actually paying 10 bucks a month for it, but I'll keep it installed, see what content stays free after 30 days.
Awesome, I will deffinatly be using this today at work...

[APP] WiFi Tether for T-Mobile GS4 !

I did NOT create this app and only take credit for finding and testing it.
So far this is the ONLY WiFi Tether app I tried that works on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
I tested it by linking to my Asus TF700 tablet.
1-Click WiFi Tether No Root is a FREE app available on Google Play Store.
Best of all, it does not require ANY tinkering with profile settings.
Just install it,
run it,
click ON
and then search for the WiFi signal from your other portable device or PC.
My Asus tablet found the signal and locked on in less than 5 seconds.
Note: There is also a Pro version available for $9.98 that offers WPA security if you need or want that added feature.
If you appreciate my find, simply click THANKS so I know this wasn't a wasted thread post!

Use firefox with an addon called User Agent Switcher set to android and you'll be fine.
The way T-Mobile tries to stop you from tethering without paying extra (which is total bs by the way) is by sniffing out user agents from things that aren't androids.

I'll quote exactly what it says on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (model SGH-M919) when I clicked the Help menu about using Wi-Fi hotspot:
"To use your phone's hotspot capability, you must have the Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service added to your rate plan."
They key word here is "added" which means it is NOT free unlimited hotspot service.
Here's what it says on the T-Mobile website page about this service:
"T-Mobile's Simple Choice Rate Plans all include Smartphone Mobile HotSpot up to their data limit, except for Unlimited 4G data which includes 500MB of Smartphone Mobile HotSpot. You can add additional capped Smartphone Mobile HotSpot usage: $10 per month per line for 3GB or $20 per month for 4GB."
The FREE app I mention in the OP is FREE. Whether or not T-Mobile can & will
be able to monitor the use of the 1-Click free app is yet to be determined.

Anyone else try and just fire it up anyway? My first generation MyTouch4G had free Hotspot. On my new S4 I turned it on and got the above message but it still created a hotspot and didn't require me to commit to a plan change. However my laptop doesn't even see it and my old MyTouch sees but fails to connect.
Downloaded and tried that app. No luck. Laptop sees the Wifi and connected but no internet access (Limited or no connectivity) Old Mytouch saw it but was unable to connect.

Wondering the same........

wifi tether works with one rom, not another

the wifi tether for root users is not working with the liquid smooth rom just released, but the optimus DE rom works just fine as well as stock. tried reconfiguring it all different ways and mimicking the optimus rom settings I had that worked just fine. not sure why it works fine for one and not for another. any ideas?
just so everyone knows, I'm not a total noob at this. I've had a Samsung nexus S 4g forever, had it rooted for almost 2 years. great phone, moved up to the optimus for its hardware capabilities, but have had some issues with configurations on certain apps. great phone so far, the lg firmware makes it a little difficult to play around with. I've tried wiping davlik, pulling data from my other rom and everything. I went from a 4.1.2 rom to a 4.3.1 rom. i'm wondering if the 4.3 doesn't support the wifi tether? I use the crap out of it and haven't ever been billed for it. its awful handy, and sucks not to have it. tried the trevE mod version too, with the exact settings off my other rom it always starts with errors. if I turn it to NetD it works properly but doesn't show up when I scan to find it. not sure whats going on here?

I think most CM/ASOP ROMs have tethering built in. That's why the app doesn't work.

Stock ROMs you have to pay for. Or root and the app.
CM/AOSP depending which one, have a free hotspot built in. I think it's usually in settings>phone or roaming. Somewhere around there on the settings.

Att apps

I was wondering if I were to delete the att apps (att hotspots, att nav. etc.) Would that cause any unwanted side effects?
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Free mobile app
Dont know what you mean by delete? If you mean disable? No, it will not hurt to disable those apps. Those are on just about every att phone. There are lists every where showing you what apps you can disable. Just goole em and you will see. If your rooted. There is a very good app called systemCleanup that will tell what apps are safe. Either way you choose. Both are good options. Search or systemCleanup.

Just disable those apps if You are not sure. Mostly these apps will show "problems if uninstalled" as they are installed via Your update directly, but don't cause any issues if uninstalled. You can always experiment by taking backup of the app, then uninstall it. If nothing is wrong, then fine, else You can restore them.
Disabling them caused no issues but what I am really trying to do I get control of my hotspot/tethering without the need of an app like foxfi when I try to turn them on, please contact att, but since my phone is unlocked and I am not with att there is nothing they can do.
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, if your trying to use the hotspot in settings thats going to happen. That is tied in directly to your phone. Which is a att phone. You are essentially running a att rom. The only other way that I would know of. Would be to use a different carrier rom. But then you open up to other issues that would not be good. Just stick with foxfi. Be happy it works. For alot of us. It no longer does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T217A using XDA Free mobile app
I figured that was the case, anyway, I really like the foxfi app because it hides your tethering usage from your carrier

Ya, I remember a bunch of ppl on the s4 forums trying to get wifi calling working on aosp roms. Never could get it, said it was built in and they couldn't get it out. Never personally looked though. We won't have to worry about it soon though, Lollipop will have it built in. So in theory, the aosp versions of 5.0 should too.
