ATT LG Optimus G E970. Does it have an FM radio?

Does anyone know if it has built in FM reciver? And if so what app can be used?

don't think so

How unhelpful - the question was does it have it not might it have it...

Although best app to use for radio is TuneIn Radio but you need Internet access for it to work.

Thank you case closed. Im not seeking internet streamed radio. This thread can be closed.

No need to close the thread IMO; Only thing that seems proven is that most Optimus G's, including ATT's, have no stock FM app included.
FM was touted some time back, but I've been finding it hard to find an Optimus G variant with working FM. Korean F180 perhaps ?
Any schematics out there ?
If the FM receive antenna pin is connected to the wired headset jack, then FM should be possible, just as it is on the ATT HTC OneX LTE w/ S4 & WCN3660. (OG has 3660 for Bluetooth & WiFi, right ?)
Could someone try my FM app here and send me a debug log ? I'd prefer to see a rooted device logs, but stock is a start: http://d-h.st/UwH
Use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and after 20 seconds or so, press Send, or get file from /sdcard/sprt_debug.txt .
If the antenna pin is connected, FM should be possible, but this may require a custom kernel at least.
My interest is more in the similar Nexus 4, but I have enough debug info on it so far, at least until someone enables FM in a custom kernel. We don't know if Nexus 4 antenna pin is connected yet.
The Nexus 4 thread is here, for anyone interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963623&page=13

That's not too surprising if Spirit doesn't have root/SU.
If you want to send me a debug log, use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds.
A log won't give me too much useful info though, unless Spirit has root.

I did allow Spirit root privileges. I sent the email off with logs. Attached to this post is a screenshot when I open Spirit, to help you if needed.
If I go to the debug menu (3845#*970#) then WCDMA-only, there is an FM radio test, but it seems non-functional. I attached a screenshot of it as well.

The positive includes the usual FM controls in the ALSA audio driver, and a virtual APPS_FM directory which is common too.
There is no sign of radio-iris or radio-iris-transport.ko kernel drivers though.
So at minimum, a kernel with those drivers enabled needs to be loaded to see if FM can work and the antenna pin is connected.
It may be possible to flash a ROM from an Optimus G variant that supports FM. But I have no idea if that's possible without bricking the phone or creating other problems.
If anyone finds info on an Optimus G variant with FM (F-180 ?) please post. A ROM dump from such a variant would be useful.

Apparently the Japanese variant, the LGL21 I believe, supports over the air TV, but not fm... Any chance a system dump of that could be helpful? I don't have this model, but I could see about finding a dump. From what I've been finding out it seems no model supports fm radio out of the box.

I doubt it will help the cause of FM, but you never know. I'd be happy to look at a system dump briefly, or a debug log from the free version of Spirit, using Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs. ( http://d-h.st/pnT )
BTW, somebody finally got a kernel with FM drivers loaded on a Nexus 4. The FM chip "works" just fine, but RSSI is always 0 or negative, which usually means the FM antenna pin is not connected. Which means the N4 can't have FM.
And this might even imply the Optimus G doesn't have usable FM either. Somebody could try that N4 kernel or a similar one, if it's possible to share kernel without bricking.
From a practical perspective for me, now that the N4 seems "semi-proved" to have no FM, I'm not really too interested in the Optimus G at this point.

Would be great, but I don't have this phone, so somebody with the phone needs to do testing.
Here's some info from the N4 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963623&page=13
There is only one configuration I've seen work on devices with the Qualcomm S4/S4+ SOC and Qualcomm WCN3660 FM/BT/WiFi combo chip:
- radio-iris driver compiled into the kernel.
- radio-iris-transport driver built as a loadable module.
Building the transport driver into the kernel doesn't work, for whatever reason.
MANY devices, even those without FM, now have a /system/etc/init.qcom.fm.sh shell script file which mostly does an insmod on /system/lib/modules/radio-iris-transport.ko .
My app, or a system/root portion of the framework or whatever, does this to activate the V4L driver:
"setprop hw.fm.mode normal ; setprop hw.fm.version 0 ; setprop ctl.start fm_dl"
You could also do this, from a root shell:
insmod /system/lib/modules/radio-iris-transport.ko
Or run the QCom FM init script in /system/etc .
...
BTW, with radio-iris loaded (in kernel), but WITHOUT radio-iris-transport loaded (as a loadable), a /dev/radio0 V4L access pseudo-file is created. But trying to use it generally results in a crash and reboot of the phone. Android drivers are often written badly, and crash like this when "unexpected" stuff happens.
I think the same happens when the transport driver is built into the kernel directly.
...
Once both drivers are successfully loaded, you can try my free app here: http://d-h.st/pnT
With a wired headset plugged in for antenna, and when tuned to a strong station, the RSSI at top left should be over 20 or so. Zero or negative likely means no FM antenna connection, like the N4.

Hey Shelnutt, if your still willing to make the test kernel, I could probably test it out.

[Q] Problem HTC One M8 with Volkswagen RNS 315

Hello all,
I have a HTC One M8 that i want to connect with my volkswagen RNS 315 device with build-in bluetooth but for some reason he doesnt see the device when i scan for bluetooth carkit. I am running my M8 on the latest Viper Rom with the lastest firmware.
Is there someone with the same issue around here.
Thanks already

Hi there.
In my previous car I had a RNS510. In the car under the seat was a bluetooth module that used a Nokia (yeah really) protocol to connect phones to it, called RSAP. Its only built in a specific range of VAG cars in a short periods. I was a lucky one (not!) to get one.....
To get Bluetooth connectivity I used an app from Play Store as described here: http://goo.gl/eJxOUF.
My advice: check if it is RSAP by using the trial version of the software. The actual software isn't free. I got functionality (not full tho) with the app.
Edit: it connected my DHD, OneX and my m8 with it.

Hi Steven,
Just did some quick research and it seems to use a2dp. And this is supported by the m8 out of the box.
Not on Viper anymore, but can you confirm if the next lib is still there:
/system/lib/hw/audio.a2dp.default.so
If so, can you tell me if you are using sound mods like HK or Viper4android?
Edit: just trying to eliminate some possibilities. Strange thing is that your iPhone4 and the Lumia don't work either.

Just downloaded Viper and it should be there. What I would do:
1. Dirty flash Viper
2. Remove all bt contacts
3. Rename your phone name to fi m8
4. Try again
If not: try to pair your phone with bt to another one. If that works, it has to be your RNS
Then I would check RNS firmware if it's the last version available.

Thanks MarckX,
Do you mean the rom or viper4android ?

I have done the dirty flash and changed the name like you said MarckX but still nothing sadly. only good thing is that my phone screen of my RNS315 changed there is just standing Phone instead that there is no phone found or to connect text. Connecting with a iphone or lumia with bluetooth on the HTC took some time to work after 2 reboots.

how to add DAB to Malaysk modded ROM?

Hi guys, have got the malaysk rom running on my RK3188 KLD6 stereo but can't see any DAB app.
I tried wavesink, but that's for USB dongles from what I gather, so didn't work. Also tried some DAB+ app that came up in play store but couldn't figure it out.
Is there an app for the KLD units available? Or do I need to ask the seller for the original dab.apk?
Cheers

It's an external dab device supplied with the stereo. It worked fine with no need for setting up before I put the modded ROM on

MTCB-KLD6, change Music app

Hello!
I'm new here, I just purchased an MTCB-KLD6 V2.86 with Android 5.1 for my Renault Megane 2.
I would like to change the Music stock app to another player app and make it the default system player. In my phone I use RocketPlayer and I like very much.
Can it be done? I guess I would have to do root ..... that gives me a little fear hehehe
Thank You!

I've not found the way to do this on a lollipop based ROM. On 4.4 (malysk ROM) I used XposedMTC to set the right app and disable inputs.
Can anybody confirm that we cannot do this anymore on 5.1? For me, this would definitely be the reason to switch back to 4.4.

I would also make Rocket default player.
I can use it "manualy" but steering wheel prew/next buttons trigers on radio or default music app.

Battery seems fine to me, similar to Android 9 so far. But it's too early to make any conclusion, we'll have to wait a few days of use to see how it goes.
Edit : one has to enable the new gestures. They fill very natural after a few seconds, and free the space that used to be taken by the navigation bar.

Got the OTA update about two days ago, and it basically killed my WiFi and Bluetooth radios. They work, sort of, but my main router WiFi cannot connect, and Bluetooth audio skips for no real reason. I even did a factory reset to try and correct this with the OTA update file out there, but essentially it didn't fix my issue, and now I'm pretty upset that I did that.
Anyone know how I can downgrade back to Pie so I can at least connect to WiFi and get all my apps back quickly?

Upgraded. No real issues at all. Slightly decreased battery life for first two days then fine. All my hardware and software work 100% no problems.
I connect to multiple Bluetooth device regularly in the car and on bicycle rides. No issues with Garmin. No issues with anything.

Yes, I had an issue with voicemail couple of times. There have been lags too. Bit disappointed. Had similar experience when upgraded to pie from nogut last year on a different device.
