If your rooted... what would stop the Fm radio from working? - Verizon LG G4

We all know by now Verizon doesnt want us to have an Fm radio on our phones... If rooted what stops us?

It's been assumed the physical FM chip is grounded which means no software in the world will make it function unless it's manually altered which means opening the phone. Not many are willing to risk ruining a phone for FM radio.

Installation of GPS Chip?

Now that people are upgrading to 128 ram, is it possible to install a GPS chip into the uni? i remember Mamaich mentioning that there is a space just for this use...

it is possible to add MSM chip that would add AGPS to universal, but this would need a special radio version that was never released by HTC.
ahhh... Thanks for the info!

But the MSM chip could not be controlled by only driver without using any special radio version ?
Hmm this sounds good, but i fear gps will not become reality soon.

The special radio version probably exists in some form if the chip space is there. HTC probably did not put it in because of cost.
Could someone ask HTC?
I am going to have the extra RAM installed in my UNI, do we know which GPS chip should go in the slot? also if it was soldered in, could i still use my UNI normally even if the special radio version is never implemented. just thinking ahead to try and save some money.
Thanks

the missing GPS part should be the RGR6200. It is part of the MSM6250 chipset.
Qualcom calls this technology gpsOne.
To get GPS support, we need to enable gpsOne baseband processor.
I also think it's quite impossible to hack the radio rom to support this part of MSM6250.
If i'm right the radio rom is stored in the Samsung nand chip.
How does the bootloader transfer the radio rom in detail?
Anybody knows?

Radio fix GPS? Wtf is a radio?

What's a radio?
Well, maybe you need to flash a new radio more efficient than what you have. I have newer g2 radio ending in .27. Check out the radio threads in here.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Radio, according to wikipedia, Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light.
lol sorry i had to do that
but I would like to know too, from what I've seen radio seems to fix many things like reception, GPS signal, battery life and maybe more?
so i assume its some type of firmware?? tho i think i'm very off so please correct me
Might be wrong here but radio for a cell phone if you think about how without it you have no gps, signal, wifi...radio equals cell phone for all the generic reasons lol
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
I would also like a good answer to this.
Interestingly, I flashed the .27 radio and used it for some time .. Just today, I reverted back to the stock .26 radio, and now my GPS issue is resolved!!
No radio equals no reception.

The radio is the part of your phone that interacts with cell towers. Without this software on your phone, it would not be a phone, rather a very small tablet computer. Changing or upgrading the radio to a newer version is just like updating any software; the newer version probably has some bug fixes, might be more efficient at doing things than the older versions, etc.
This is what you were asking, right?

He's pretty much described it. At its core, a cell phone is simply a type of microwave radio. It simply has been given a familiar interface similar to a landline phone (dial tones, number pad, etc.) since that is what people have been accustomed to for so long.
When "flashing a radio" is being discussed here, it refers to the software component, and there is also a hardware component as well, but you don't need to really worry about that.
The radio is also how your phone communicates with the GPS satellites.
If you are referring to the GPS issues some people have had with CM7 (not finding the satellites at all), its been found that flashing a different radio solves the problem for many people. But its been well discussed on the CM7 thread, and other threads.
But are you trolling? You seem to more than enough to have to ask such an elementary question.

A radio is that which causes or reads the vibrations of electrons in the air.
More specifically, your cell phone is actually two computers, which are somewhat interdependent. These two computers run two separate operating systems. The more "basic" computer runs the radio operating system and controls the air interface. The "user" computer runs ANDROID. The two computers pass data back and forth to each other.
There are different versions of the radio operating system available, which have different characteristics. Sometimes upgrading the radio OS will have benefits like improved reception.

FMRadio from n7100 or spiritfm?

Has anyone tried to get the FM Radio working via the spiritFM app or simply by copying the proper files from an N7100 firmware?
I've attached the FMRadio.apk from my own deodex'd n7100. It might need other files.. if so, let me know. (You could also just pop over the to international NoteII dev forum and download one of the many CWM installable firmware posts there and pull whichever files needed from the .zip archive.
(The same might even be possible for the multi-view stuff)
Take care
Gary
When I go to install it, it starts to try but then fails and says application not installed.
I do have the setting ticked to allow applications from non-market sources to be installed. I just installed the Amazon app store so I know it's letting me install downloaded apks.
Check the following thread for a free download of spiritFM. Try to configure it as an i9300 (read the related parts of the OP, etc) to get it going.
The idea here is just to see if everything hardware-wise is working for the FM radio. If so, it shouldn't be TOO difficult to get the software parts going.

Anyone making any progress here? I'm eager to know if the hardware is present on the device. I'm not hopeful though since it wasn't on the GSIII.

Well, the US variants of the SGS3 were actually a completely different phone than the international variants. With the Note2, the US variants are supposedly identical in hardware to the international N7105. (international Note2 with LTE)
What I don't understand is... why hasn't anyone actually tried spiritFM and posted back their results?

while the differences are much less than the gs3, I don't think they are the same phone. The main difference is in the radios. we won't know for sure until we start seeing teardowns of the us versions. That said, i totally agree. why hasn't anyone tried this?!?!?! whoever has a T-Mobile note, please do this!!!!!
When i flashed N7100 Rom into my T889 phone, i remember i tried the FM radio App and it didn't work. i open the FmRadio app it asked me to plug my headphones to use it as an antenna and when i plugged in my headphone and try to turn it on it didn't do anything...
so i guess there is hardware difference between N7100 and T899.
You're going to need the lib.so files that drive the apk.
I think that may be all, but it's been so long since I had a phone with a fm radio that wasn't utilized by the stock rom that I can't even remember which phone or was though it may have been the Nexus One. I remember for sure that the original Motorola cliq was able to get the fm radio functional but that wasn't an xda forum. I Reckon if anyone has the extra time that a little searching here at xda would shed light on whether more is needed than the apk and the libs.
I know for sure we need a driver though ; p
still no one giving this a try?
I'll definitely try this when my T-Mobile Note II comes in since I would love to have FM radio. I agree that SGS III shouldn't be proof that this won't work since the hardware this time around in our variants is much closer to the international version. It's very possible the hardware is there and the software is disabling it or not accessing it at all. Would these methods require root access? I'm ok with sideloading apps and dumping library files where they need to go. I'd prefer not to root since that would prevent other things from working like ISIS (I'm from Austin) and getting official updates.
I wanted to bump this and ask if anyone has had any luck with this. I had tried the suggested stuff the thread was started on to no avail.
According to samsung the firmware and hardware are present on the phone. However I believe we are missing the library files for accessing it. If anyone has an international note they can extract them from they should work in theory.
Sent from my SGH-T889
I thought the FM Radio not present on the SGH-T889. Or am I missing something?
There's no FM radio hardware AFAIK, and certainly no software from Samsung for it in all the LTE Note 2 variants. The N7100 has a completely different radio chip than its LTE brethren; Intel vs Qualcomm.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II#Communication_processor
Works
Since no one has posted a straight forward answer, yes, I've tried and Spirit FM (free) works on the international version (N7100).

Well we knew that much... The whole initial question was whether it worked on the T-Mobile USA version. Since it doesn't have it embedded in the chip... It doesn't work. No biggie for me since FM blows anyways. I guess it could come in handy in a no data area or emergency...

[Q] Rooting causes bluetooth failure?

Please pardon me if this has been asked before, or if it's really a very stupid question: Is it possible that simply rooting an otherwise stock HTC One M8, GPE, running Android 4.4.4, and installing TWRP and SuperSU, could cause bluetooth failures?
I ask because I heard that from a support tech whose company manufactures a bluetooth car kit I've installed, and the gadget in question intermittently fails to start up properly. I can pretty accurately predict the probability of a successful start up by knowing how long the vehicle's ignition key switch has been off. If it's been an hour or more the gadget will amost always start up properly, but if it's been less than ten minutes it'll almost always fail to start up properly. After it fails, I can just leave everything off for an hour and it'll work just fine, most of the time. It really doesn't seem logical to me that the phone could be implicated, given the strong correlation of off time to success probability, but the world is weird so I'm asking.
I've a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth OBD-II adapter that both work flawlessly with this phone.
Rooting the phone itself wouldn't affect bluetooth.
Changing to GPE 4.4.4 again shouldn't affect bluetooth in the manner you are talking about as it was made for that phone.
Bluetooth issues usually come up when problems exist in the ROM you are using.
I can't imagine the scenario you are talking about will have any issues.
Someone else might explain it better than me though.
Did the device work properly before you rooted?
As mentioned, simply rooting the device is unlikely to have cause such a problem. Bluetooth compatibility is complicated issue. The Bluetooth "standard" is not as standard as you would hope. Given the sheer number of possible device combinations, some combinations just don't play well together.

The device in question being the car kit? If so, I can only say that the phone predates the car kit so I don't know. If the device in question is the phone, it's working fine even now with two different bluetooth headsets and a bluetooth OBD-II (automotive on-board diagnostics) adapter.
Frankly, I believe that the support drone is a charity case of some kind, maybe the sales manager's recalcitrant kid or something like that. He's obviously just making things up as he goes along, but the one thing he's said that I can't easily disprove is the line about rooting the phone somehow annoying the aftermarket car kit device hiding behind my vehicle instrument panel. When it comes to phones I'm just a clueless luser and won't pretend otherwise, but I figure there are plenty hereabout who are perfectly clueful.
Thanks!

I was thinking whether the phone worked with the car kit before you rooted the phone. But as you just stated, the phone predates the car kit, so no way of knowing that. Somewhat a rhetorical question, really. I seriously doubt rooting would have any effect.
Support techs are probably just programmed to say such things. Once a phone is rooted, they have no way of knowing what you did to it, and if it might have affected something on the phone. But root itself is just a permission change, it isn't going to affect the functionality in itself.
Don't know if the Bluetooth stack for Sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs (CM11, SlimKat, etc.) are any different from GPE. You will need to convert the partition layout to flash a Sense ROM (and AOSP ROMs?).

I'd rather remove the car kit and smash it with a sledgehammer than futz around with reflashing the phone with ROM images I don't otherwise need. The sledgehammer is already on standby. :laugh:

LG G4 H812 - Any way to get the FM Radio (RDS) to work?

I have done quite a bit of research and it seems like the FM Radio RDS is Disabled on all Canadian Versions of the LG G4. It's such a shame because I find this feature very nice and I use to use it all the time on the Sony Ericsson back in the day. I know the H815 version supports FM Radio, but the problem is it doesn't work on the AWS Frequency (Mobilicity and WIND, which I am on).
Just wondering if anyone has got the FM Radio to work on their LG G4 H12 version yet?
Now i'm not talking about TuneIn Radio or applications of that nature. Those applications use Data or WiFi.
Just to clarify, i'm talking about FM Radio using RDS. Which means when you plug in headphones/earbuds into the headphone jack, the phone uses the wire as a antenna and let's you listen to radio stations. Without having to rely on Data or Wifi. I know it's old school, but it's a feature that I would still put a lot of use into.
Anyways let me know guys. and thanks!
Probably not likely to happen. A lot of phones have it disabled in hardware (the connection just isn't there between the headphone jack and the FM chip (which is usually the same as the Bluetooth module).
Main phones available in Canada that have FM Radio support are the ASUS Zenfone 2, Moto X Play, and possibly some of the HTC phones (don't quote me on that last one - I haven't tried one in a while)

The H815(International Version) has the EXACT same hardware and frequency bands, so you can flash the H815 version onto your Canadian version (H812) and have all the stock LG apps and functionality.
SORRY GUYS THIS DOES NOT WORK UNLESS YOU UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER. THE BOOTLOADER OF LG G4 H812 CANADIAN VERSION IS BY DEFAULT LOCKED SO YOU CANNOT FLASH ANY OTHER FIRMWARE. MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS TRADE IT FOR THE H815 EUROPEAN OR H811 T-MOBILE VARIANT IF YOU WANT THE FULL FEATURES. THANKS AND SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS. I FEEL YOUR PAIN, I NOW HAVE THE H815 EUROPEAN VERSION AND IT HAS THE DEFAULT FM RADIO AND SMARTWORLD AND ALL THE ORIGINAL STOCK SOFTWARES. IT IS AMAZING LETS SIGN A PETITION TO LG TO GET YOUR BOOTLOADERS UNLOCKED THEN YOU CAN FLASH H815 ROM ONTO IT AND HAVE ALL THE DEFAULT APPS WORKING.
This is totally INACCURATE ...

If you follow this individuals proclamation you will brick your phone. The H812 has a locked bootloader and cannot be officially unlocked - if you follow it, it will prove harmful and costly to your mobile health. He has not bothered to correct this post, even though he now knows this to be true. If you want FM radio, you will need to get another phone, like he has since done.

Can someone confirm whether it is disabled at the hardware or software level? Thanks

I don't know but you can try the following to see if the radio works. This could prove if it's a hardware/software restriction.
1. Go to your dialler and enter: *#546368#*812#
2. Go to Device Test -> SAAT -> Service Menu - Manual Test -> FMRadio Test
3. With headphones plugged in, test if you can hear anything at all.

The H812 does not have the FMRadio Test in the Hidden menu, anywhere, whatsoever. If the hardware was there, the test for it would be there. Unlike member BAD_ASS, who doesn't own an H812 anymore (he has an H815 now) and wouldn't know without getting someone who does own one to find out, I do own one and am very familiar with it.
Member BAD_ASS has continued to try and denigrate the H812 by posts like his childish, immature large font #3 post above (not his first by any means) as well as members who have legitimately tried to help others. His sole reason for posting on threads concerning the H812 is to try (somewhat more subtly now in some cases) and show how how smart he is and was by lying to an unsuspecting dealer in Qatar that his H812 was a US model in order to gain an H815 for what he purports was no cost to him (his Mommy, however, may have something to say about this claim of his). He has had his posts cleaned at least twice for wasting space and has provided misleading, inaccurate and in more than one occasion very harmful (hard bricking) advice to many unsuspecting members. Just a few of the reasons he has had his account suspended twice by the moderators

I see what you're onto, but you are still running the same software version. To get accurate results, we need to bypass the stock ROM.
I'd greatly appreciate if a H811 user with unlocked bootloader can flash the European H815 rom and see whether the FM Radio feature comes to life. Not sure if this has been done before, but if so, please do let me know. Thanks.
Supposing this works, we can try to flash H815 rom onto H812 with SteadfasterX's new method for devices with Locked bootloaders, like the H812.

Post #3 was just me warning everyone about that claim I made, which I now know could cause damage. It is in big bold red letters for emphasis. Yes it is true my mother bought me the H812 for my 16th birthday, and I didn't spend a single cent on it, true, but I had no idea my claims could be harmful back then, so please forgive.
Sorry for assuming this would work. But you cannot blame me for assuming, as you are doing the same thing with the FM Radio being disabled on the Hardware level. You are also making assumptions.
Also keep in mind, I don't have to give help and suggestions to you H812 owners. I have an H815 now and I can completely disregard your existence, but I have compassion and want to help you guys have the same experience as I do with my H815, so I give you suggestions and ideas that may or may not work. Unfortunately I cannot test any of these claims, as I don't have your device anymore. If I could test them, I would.
Guys i will assume this is just like the g3 in the end you can possibly get static i did on a att g3 but the antenna is not soldered and you will never get reception.
The hardware does not support it. And no u cant solder it yourself.

Hardware. Hense why it wont accept a headphone as being inserted. Its disable hardware and software. There is a part of the fm chip that isnt solderd its not possible to solder it. So the antennas arent grounded. If im not mistaken it lays in with the snapdragon.

The LG G4 wireless chip is from Broadcom and has a closed-source driver. It is proprietary code. Carrier unlocking or rooting will not enable wireless FM on your phone and the Next Radio or Spirit FM apps will not work . As much as member BAD_ASS or any other member might like to think they can solve it, they can't unless LG makes it open-source or provides their private proprietary coded FM app to the carrier phone model and software version.
