[Q] FM radio - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded and installed PacMan rom. So far I like it, but I am missing the FM radio app. I got the app from sense rom, but will not install. I am new to rooting and flashing, so please explain to me how can I get my FM radio work. Thanks

Thanks. I am going to miss my radio. I took of the PacMan and installed the CM10 4.2.1. Works fine. I had to update the Google Search as was FC any time I try to use the mic. Works fine now. So far, it is the best JB rom on my glacier. I hope that someone will found a way to install that radio app.

FM radio????

Does anyone know if there is a FM radio in built or know some way to get on on the Dopod 838 PRO?
Thanks!
Kellogs cornflakes has them sometimes "inside" the box for free with certain promotions.
In all honestly buddy, u gotta read....
Don't know of an add-on fm tuner you can install, but if you have data services you can access www.thestreamcenter.com and you will find a link to just about every FM station in every market of the grand old USA.
I did read, for 30 mins.....just a simple yes or now would be really helpful
I read that the jasjam does have a radio......please any help is greatly appreciated!
yes the jasjam does have a radio.
......THANKS!, and to clarify that the dopod 838pro and the jasjam are the same unit internally??
So I need to search for a compatible rom with the fm radio enabled?
When I do a search for FM RADIO, all I recieve is radio in reference to the gsm radio.
Thanks for the tidbit of info!
I believe JJ was talking about the GSM radio in the phone. Don't get your hopes up.
Love your work JJ.
lol, ok, FM RADIO
To prevent possible further abuse, there isn't an FM radio built in to the phone. As someone posted earlier, you will need to stream any FM feeds that you want.
Resco Radio has worked fine for me.
Good luck though, let me know if you find it.
Thanks man ! i will keep reading..............................

Help needed - fm radio

Hey guys, ive tried several roms and several radios but all i get is static when using the fm radio app. I have the tmous leo btw. Any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Have you tried going out of the house? The reception is pretty bad, especially if you live in a badly covered area.
Try with other headphones too, they're the FM antenna.
Well, coverage in my area is fine. Radio worked fine in winmo. I dont mind too much giving it up but it was nice at the gym (they broadcast the tv audio over short range fm). Oh well...

Try another rom, it'll probably work. MIUI developed the (custom) radio framework, so I guess your best shot is a MIUI rom. I know my CM7 radio works fine too though.
switch stations and back again.
on mine (cyano mod) when i start the radio, and bluetooth enables (dont know why it should, id rather it didnt) the station comes on but static, switch to different preset and back again and it comes through clear. (Well as clear as can be expected with teh worlds worst fm radio)
My suspicion is the radio blast of interference as the bluetooth fires up.

[Question]FM Radio

Does someone can ear FM Radio on the HTC HD2 (with headset connected). The frequence is always bloqued at 87.5 Mhz, no way to search a radio or to change the frequence.
If someone knows a good .apk for FM Radio, I want it
I'm using RafDroid 4.2.0 Ext (Nand v2.2.1)
Thank you...

Try Spirit FM Radio. You can find this by searching the forum or market.

Thank you, but same problem with this software : BroadCom chip found, but no FM feature started
Perhaps the wrong hardware driver
you gotta use htc oem headphones for it to work. i ordered a pair and the radio started working. 4.99 on ebay
I found myself the solution , the only way for me to have FM Radio : switch on BlueTooth before starting the FM Radio program... It's on the same Chip !
Have a nice day
I'm a bit late to this thread, but...

I'm surprised about that. Other 4 contact jack headphones won't work ?
Which "Audio Method" are you using ?

I believe this is a Broadcom based device, so my "UART Mode" should work if Bluetooth is off, and if my app has access to SU/root. But the app needs the Bluetooth UART device to be one of the following (unless you configure a custom setting):
"/dev/s3c2410_serial0",
"/dev/ttyHS0",
"/dev/ttyHS1",
Thanks !
MOD EDIT: Please post in right section

[INFO only] FM Radio improvement

If you use the Sony stock FM Radio, as good as it is, Sony missed a setting when porting their Radio3.apk from the Z/ZL Qualcomm FM chip and driver to the Z2's Broadcom chip and driver.
If you live in an area with moderate signals, you will notice that although the stereo image is very wide, it doesn't get narrowed by the Broadcom chip or API as the signal strength varies. This results in a noticeable increase in background noise (hiss). Sony forgot to enable Stereo Blend....
The link below allows you to use an FM Radio app that correctly blends the stereo image automatically,
I use FM Radio a lot - this is a vast improvement.
Once you have installed the app, it will run correctly at default. If you are rooted DENY SU permission.
Note that there are some UX bugs to work out at the moment...but it works well. This is only a test release.

Remember to support dedicated developers like Mike if you like their work. Spirit FM is available via G Play. If you like the test release, buy the app.
Thanks for the post. Audio sounds great from this app. I have a weird bug with my phone though and the FM Radio. In both this app and the built in FM app, it will only play audio (through headset or speakerphone) when the screen is off. Is it supposed to be this way? Anybody else have this or know why it might be doing this? Updated to latest .314 update in Canada on an unlocked Z2.

Yeah, it didn't do it the first time I tried using the FM radio after getting the phone but recently it does. I wonder if a factory reset might fix it, I just don't feel like setting up my phone again!!
Check Google Now settings and check activate from lock screen.

Thanks! Also found this after re-googling it today. Somebody also posted this solution on the Xperia Support forums. Guess it's the always listening "OK Google" that was messing with the FM Radio. Strange but at least I know what the issue is now! Wonder if this will be fixed with future updates to either the Google Search app or the FM Radio app?

FM Radio App

Hey, I just recently got my LG V20 brand new. I noticed this phone has a support for FM Radio. My Model is an US996 unlocked, but did not come with a FM radio APP. Any suggestions on how I can get that? I do not wish to root or install custom ROM at this point. I still have my 1 year warranty in tact.
Also, I do not want to download FM Radio from Playstore. i want the LG built in FM Radio App. Where can I get a working FM radio APk for LGV20?
Please suggest, and thank you.
you can try next radio either from play store or download the apk from google
It's not listed in settings/apps

Thanks, i got to installed, but when I click the power button. It doesn't turn on. The power button only stays red. Guess my option is too install a custom firmware, but I do not want to do that yet.
Same here. I was able to get the resigned app installed but the radio will not turn on. The button remains yellow in my case.

Lol this may seem a bit obvious, or then again maybe not... But have you plugged in your headphones before attempting to play the FM radio? That's the only way you can achieve a signal, as it uses the headphones as an antenna source.
Yes, wired headphones were plugged in. The power button has no effect. Just to be sure I am not on a wild goose chase, I have a US996 unlocked, bootloader unlocked and rooted, running a stock ROM. I am on VzW and have not heard that they even would activate the fm radio. Shall I throw in the towel?
I have a GSM unlocked LGv20 Us996. I tried 2 different pair of headphones and the power button doesnt turn on the radio.

As far as I'm aware, one of the common known bugs/issue persisting with rooting the V20 of most variants, is a non-functional FM radio. Chances are you may be out of luck there my friend. Unless you've tried a third party FM app. My last suggestion would just be to use a digital radio app, although that doesn't help much if you travel in and out of cellular zones often.

Yeah, I get it. I just use the NEXT FM Radio app . This does the job while I am at work on wifi. But having it on data will just eat my data. I will see if there are more options.
Thanks for helping.
