I too am looking fro FM Radio Software but am not sure if this can be achieved without in-built FM detector hardware.
Help please...
I also need to know about the FM Radio.. Because i searched but i found nothing.. please Help us!!
as stated without the fm hardware only way to get fm is to get a headset which include fm
which would not be controlled or anything by the phone but by the headset itself
Hi guys,
Just got my Note 2 (LTE: N7105, Singapore - Starhub). I was surprised to see that it was missing an official FM app. All specifications that I have read pointed out that N7105 has a radio hardware. Xda search revealed that many are facing this same issue. Probably pointing it out as Telco's strategy to force ppl to use data for streaming.
I tried to use the Spirit UL FM app with no success. It says it cannot tune [Error: No FM accessible ; SU:1 Fm:BC Su:0 Bt:1 Ht:0 Mo:BCU].
I want to know the real situation and your views,
(1) Does N7105 (LTE) have hardware for radio (FM)?
(2) If yes, will flashing a custom ROM (that has access to FM) help?
What might be the reason behind Samsung not providing a stock FM / not having the hardware?

Anyone?
Hi, so I recently upgraded the stereo in my car to an appradio 3, I did this so I could mirror my phone onto the screen of the radio. I chose this unit because it is mirrorlink compatible just as our HTC one m8s are. Street several attempts at connecting I have had no luck at getting it to work. I'm doing everything right as far as instructions but something is going wrong. My question is has anyone been able to get this phone working with this radio? And if so, what have you done to make it work?
Edit: forgot to mention that connecting to two of my friends Sony units it works perfectly. Is it possible I have a defective device? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Have you changed the USB settings on the phone to activate the mirror link through usb?
It's in Settings > More > Mobile Network Share > USB Network Settings, then select the last one (translated from German to English, hope the entry's are similar)
Honestly haven't tried it myself

@tomoffel hey tried your advice and still a no go. When I connect my phone it automatically switches to mirrorlink and it says connection is active however nothing changes on the head unit. I might just have to contact Pioneer hope my unit is not defective.
Have you opened the 'car' app in the app drawer? it does not open itself first time its used.
@TheAngelus Hi tried opening up the app beforehand and still a no go. The phone makes the connection and all however the head unit fails to show the mirrorlink app.

I have a 2014 Honda Civic with the Display Audio Unit that supports Mirrorlink. Although the screen mirroring and audio seem to transfer only through the USB connection, it still requires that the phone has been paired using Bluetooth. I'm not sure if that is a requirement of the phone or the car's Display Audio unit. It needs to be connected by both USB and Bluetooth to work though. Once both connections are established, the HTC Car app becomes available on the car's display audio unit.
Is your phone rooted or with a custom rom? i've read that can break the mirrorlink app as the M8 has only just got added as an acceptable mirrorlink device with the latest firmware. Also, check if your headunit has the latest firmware?

That is a good point.
I would imagine that if the custom ROM does not include the mirrorlink functionality, then it obviously won't work. Having a rooted phone and being S-Off is ok, but if the bootloader is unlocked, it will not work. I have an AT&T HTC One M8. When I got the phone, it had Android 4.4.2 on it with HTC SDK API 6.17. All worked well with my phone and my car's Display Audio unit. When AT&T released the new OTA update, it upgraded to Android 4.4.3 and HTC SDK API 6.25, which really screwed things up for me. When I would put the car into drive, the HTC Car App that gets mirrored to the car's Display Audio unit was replaced with a message that said, "For safety reasons, this application cannot be displayed while driving". So, there was no longer any way to view any Navigation, Music or anything else when the car was in drive. My only option was to try to downgrade. So, I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, then S-Off'd (using Sunshine) my phone. I then used an HTC ruu to downgrade my phone. Once that was all done, I was greeted with a message saying "Smartphone not compatible" any time I plugged my phone into the car's Display Audio unit, which ended up being because my bootloader is unlocked. I relocked my bootloader and everything started working again normally. My phone is re-rooted and still S-Off and that causes no problems.

Well my phone is rooted and I'm on a custom rom, I am running the latest viper currently. Also as far as I know the head unit is also on the latest firmware but the last update was from Oct 2013, maybe they need to update their mirrorlink app to support latest added devices. Still what is strange to me is that it will run perfect on my friends Sony head unit even with custom rom. I guess I can try going back completely stock and locking my boot loader to see if that works. I will report back once I get the time to do this. Hopefully someone else can chime in with a solution before this. Haha
One M8 with 4.4.4 not working

I just bought a new One M8 and updated it right away. Now I'm on 4.4.4 and only the Music app would show up while driving. I really wanted to use Google Maps as navigaton app but it always gets hidden whit a simmilar message as ericksonline's when I start driving. I find this very frustrating. Is downgrading the only option to get this working?
Should it be the only option, I think I'll send the One M8 back to the seller and will look for another smartphone...

What kind of device are you connecting your phone to? What phone carrier are you using (AT&T, Verizon,...)?
Downgrading was the only way I could get it to work.... and it was a long, scary road to accomplish. I had to unlock the bootloader, add SuperSU, and S-Off my phone (using the paid Sunshine method). After doing all of that I was able to use an RUU that I downloaded directly from HTC and downgrade the phone. Now, I'm running 4.4.2 again. My phone is still unlocked, s-off and has SuperSU installed. I can connect my phone to the car and I get the HTC Car app startup. But the really cool part is that with the Xposed framework I was able to re-map the home button to go back to my phone's home screen (instead of the HTC Car home screen). Now I can do anything on it while I'm driving - and it looks really cool. It was a long road to getting it working this way, but it is now pretty awesome.
Some solution thread?

Hi this sounds really cool. I was hoping that it would work out of the box....
I have a radio "Composition Media" - this is the marketing name. It was preinstalled in my VW. Unfortunately I haven't found out what the exact model name of the headunit is. I bought my phone directly from amazon.de and it has no branding. My carrier is Vodafone Germany, but i don't see how this is relevant.
Can you point me to the some thread, that describes how you managed to get it working?
Thanks a lot!

Yeah. It is pretty awesome! It isn't perfect though. One problem is that when I use the phone on the headunit, all audio must come from the phone. That means I can't just listen to the radio on the car. I must listen to audio from something on the phone. This can be problematic. Although the Mirrorlink connection requires both USB and Bluetooth, it appears that all audio is passed through the USB when Mirrorlink is active. The Mirrolink service must have a low priority. If there are too many things running on with the phone, the audio can become choppy. Now that I understand what causes the audio to be choppy, I can usually prevent the problem. Usually just rebooting the phone is enough to make it work perfect. Still, it can be annoying when it is happening.
The reason that I wondered what headunit and carrier that you have is because I only know how it works using my own devices. It is possible that the headunit in the VW works a little different than the one in my Honda Civic. I am thinking that they are probably similar enough that they should both work the same though. All of the brains for the Mirrorlink lives in the phone. The car seems to simply provide a feedback to the phone to say when it is driving. So, I am pretty sure you will be ok with your headunit. The phone carrier is important only because of how the RUU's are packaged. I used an AT&T RUU from HTC to downgrade my phone. I was 100% confident that the RUU would work with my phone's hardware because it was installed on the phone previous to me updating. I'm pretty sure that the version of Android doesn't matter too much. It is more likely that what causes the Mirrorlink to work differently is the version of HTC Sense (mine is currently 6.0) or the HTC SDK API level (mine is currently 6.17). You can find this information under settings, about, software information. If you want to try to downgrade, I think you will want to find an RUU that has a similar version of HTC Sense and HTC SDK API that I have.
Now that I have explained some of the difficulties, if you are still interested in trying to downgrade, I can write something up for you. There isn't just one thread. I used many threads for each step and asked many questions along the way. The risk is that you can do all of this and it may NOT work for you as your setup is a bit different than mine. You have to make many changes to your phone. Some could partially or completely void your phone's warranty. Some can brick your phone if done incorrectly. It is a lot of risk, but the results are pretty awesome if it works.
I have been told that the G4 contains this chip but AT&T has not activated it for anyone. Is there any way to do this? Not to familiar with it at all, I know some versions have it but some don't.
I've read all kinds of things about it, some say that the Carrier's will actually short or remove connections from the FM chip so there is basically no way to enable it. I don't know what is fact and what is speculation. I don't think anybody does to be honest. Short of the carriers engineers.
That being said I was looking at the build prop file and noticed a line that said ro.fm.transmitter=false
I'm really tempted to change the false to true, but I don't want to mess anything up. That, and it can't be that simple. If it was, someone would've figured it out by now.

I have a H815K phone on Telstra, and it has a FM Radio application, and can use FM Radio.

This setting is for an FM transmitter which is not present in any variant of G4 - meaning it does not transmit the audio FROM the phone to the external FM receiver (remember? some Nokias had this in the past).
There is no setting in build.prop in my D815 EU for FM radio. I suppose it's actually removed from the software. There isn't any separate audio chip - it's built into Qualcomm. Firmware disables it. Perhaps there is an entry in the MISC partition (mmcblk0p22) which configures all features (have taken a look in a HEX editor but no apparent entry for FM radio).
