FM Radio - Atrix 4G General

Specs say that this device has FM Radio with RDS. I can't seem to find an FM Radio App on my atrix.
Did AT&T remove this feature? If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Uhm, "who cares, use this other app" is not a helpful answer. Don't bother to post unless you have meaningful information.
James, the FM radio should be one of the options in the music app.

Thanks for your reply, but when I go into "Music" I only see the mp3's on my SdCard...
As for the useless 2nd post, I already have TuneIn Radio, but there are some stations which I enjoy listening to that TuneIn does not have.
Thanks again for your response Stoli, hope I can figure it out soon.

Sorry I don't have my Atrix yet to check for myself. But does the music app look like this? I thought the Atrix was supposed to have the new Connected Music Player.

no its same as droidx

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that at all...

I have to say I'm at a loss then. The specs did say it has an FM radio, and all signs indicated the Atrix would get the new Connected Music Player. I don't know if this is AT&T or Motorola's doing, but it sucks.

Yes, I have. But I am looking for FM Radio, and not internet radio. Slacker and nanogroove are internet dependent applications.

Your questions is not being understood, you asked for an alternative to the FM Tuner on the HD2 which would only be your current music and slacker app. What other radio would you like? If you are asking for a FM radio and you do not know that the HD2 has a FM radio built in you need to do some research and reword your question.

Yessir. His best bet would be to just load all his music and use the music player. I don't this there is an fm radio app out there.
I think the OP request was pretty clear, they are looking for a different FM Radio app than the stock one.
BTW, I haven't seen one anywhere but that doesn't mean there isn't one. You might have more luck asking in the Regular HD2 Themes and Apps forum.

His question is worded correctly and the question is valid. It's you who have problems understanding.
So let me re-phrase it for you.
Different frontend application for the build in, hardware FM radio.
Know any? If not, don't bother to answer. Nobody needs your attitude.

Thank all for the help. I will continue my search for this FM radio alternative, since the build in radio is not very good . If I happened to find one, I will definitely report back to you guys.
Again, Thank for all the help

****ty or not, it would be so freaking awesome

Not sure if this helps ? !

Just like to say that it would be awesome if this app could be sorted. With respected to quoted message...It really depends on a number of factors
Hardware
Your location
Your Car (Windscreen)
I have used and am using an itr1p for a couple of years now and works flawlessly in and around Manchester. I have business in Biringham once or twice a month and it never works properly there on any frequency!!

Great idea... hope it's possible!

FM radio anyone??

I was under the impression that we have the hardware, it's just not connected to the board

The hardware is definitely there. Check out step 10 of the tear down.

It's a shame we can't actually use it because my gym uses FM for audio on the TVs. Does the driver just not support it? I don't get it...
why I can not use applications such as radio iheart me if I can use applications such as radio TuneIn im in south america BOLIVIA
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

I love the 'Tune in Radio Pro' App, options to record, search by region, very powerful.
the atrix has an fm transmitter in it. not an fm tuner apparently which really makes no sense. but i think it'd be great to use it as a prank and make it so it bradcast on all channels and use sound grenade >: )

Could be cost or parents fees they (moto) does not want to pay for. Plus they would have to design and engineer for the interference caused by the fm part. Sum it up they are cheap.

Does it have FM Radio?

I looked at the specs for OnePlus 2 and did not find FM Radio mentioned on their site.
Can anyone confirm?
I have also asked OnePlus but no response yet.
No. It doesn't have FM.

No FM Radio, from a one plus 2 owner.
However, it's also weird to choose phone just thinking about FM radio. 2016 is coming.
