I have discovered that the update we just received enabled the FM radio tuner. Not a huge deal for me but at least they did fix it. My favorite radio app is NextRadio.

Is there any ROM out there that unlocks the FM radio for the epic. I read that it is either hardware or software locked by the stock build. Any app for it as well?

Try Tune-In Radio App. It's free and has most stations AM and FM. It doesn't have the stations that the crappy Iheart Radio has the rights to but it has most of them and works great!

I believe he's looking for the fm tuner, not software to stream radio off the internet.
As far as OP:
Not yet, someone had been working on trying to get it working on 2.1 kernels but so far no luck. Hopefully somone will take up that torch with 2.2+ eventually.

Yes, I was speaking about the FM tuner. Sorry for not clarifying. I used this feature often when I had my EVO and read that the EVO and EPIC share the same radio (chip). This would be a great if a dev could get this working.
i like to stream since i dont get the silly am or fm static or noise if you will. I had an evo and used the fm radio from time to time but it really needs the am band as well for us talk radio folks. I love talk radio on my Epic 4g and usually use wunder Radio or Tune in Radio or CBS Radio or i just use a pod cast player like mediafly or .podcast
bumping this instead of creating a new thread.
anyone know what the deal is? hardware disabled or not? sparked my curiousity since there are options in the voodoo sound control app...
I had an app from the european Galaxy S that would launch the widget, but it would report the FM Radio as off, and would not scan for stations until the radio was turned on
At one point I thought I saw a 2.1 settings APK that had the turn on fm radio option, but have never been able to find it again.
Whats the point of disabling something that they can sell as a feature???? i m not doubting..just curious as to why is samsung doing that...
i dont think their is an built in fm radio like their is on the htc evo. I know congress want to make it a law to include a fm radio but why bother when you can stream the stations. I also say forget fm and also include an AM radio band as i love talk radio.....
I'm a bit confused as to whether there is an fm radio on this device (still product researching). From what I understand the specs at various location indicate it has a fm radio; the user manual talks about the sprint fm radio (which is radio over inet) and there is no default radio application installed.

Does anyone know if there is actually an fm radio and if you installed an fm app does it work ?
No and the gs2 radio app wont turn on fm so they might have left fm out

From what i've read AT&t disables the FM Radio... Would anyone have an idea about getting FM Radio to work?
I flashed Spartaxx's ROM last night and i seen the FM Radio app installed, after i plugg in my headphones i come to find out that FM Radio doesn't work. The app launches, but i cant turn on the radio and scan.

I believe this has been done by AT & T at Hardware level, so no Software will enable FM Radio. This is to make you use your Data allowance on Internet Radio, etc.

Except for Sprint, any G3 from an American carrier has the FM radio disabled at the hw level. IIRC it's done by shorting the radio out by connecting the negative to the ground.
So I just got the LG G4 last friday. Today I was curious about the FM Radio that i heard was in it. But i can't seem to find a radio app that doesn't use data. I got curious and did a bit of searching and only found info about the other variants of the G4. So I figured i'd ask here. Is the H812 variant have a blocked/disabled fm radio? or does anyone know of a good app that actually uses the fm radio? Thank you.
P.S I'm on Wind and the phone is also from Wind.

I am curious about this too, can anyone confirm?
try nextradio app, it will tell you exactly whether the fm chip is disabled
I found the NextRadio apk from these forums. Installed. Could not get the FM radio to work, says "FM Radio not supported for device lg-h812"
The answer is no for now, maybe when the 812 get's root we can enable it (assuming the chip is present on the 812).
Hi all. So I bought the LG G3 D855 model & received it this morning. So was working great，tested FM radio which worked fine too. So I rooted the phone，went on a train trip & tested out the FM radio. Doesn't work anymore， says mock fm enabled，mock radio unmated something like that. Can someone please help to give me a solution to enable it，I'm one of the few who loves their fm radio so would love to get it working again. Thanks
