I read in the specs that this phone has an Fm radio. How do we listen to it? I couldn't find anything in the music player for it.
Anybody know?

I had a phone in the past with a Fm radio... and found out that its for Europe/Asia... apparently they don't work in the USA.

Sounds about right. It would be pretty dumb to have a feature hard-wired into the device already and simply not bother to enable it. Hopefully it was just a misprint or something.
Due to tax issues LG disables radio in Turkey d802 comes without radio but if u flash UK Rom radio works. Hope someone will come up with apk solution

I just bought my daughter the Flip Out. I've read that it has a built in FM radio tuner, but that you have to use the AT&T Radio app to use it. I believe that this app costs $4.99/month.
Is this the only way to use the FM tuner?
Do you have to pay to use the AT&T Radio app if all you want to use it for is your built in FM tuner?
Thanks,
Rich
I believe no.. Check if there's Radio under Music. My version has it there.

If you're saying you have a Radio option in the Music app, no I don't see one in there. (or are you talking about within the ATT Radio app?)

I have tested the Central Europe retail ROM and the UK retail ROM, these two have it under Music(Connected Music Player). The Chinese retail ROM has a seperate app for FM radio.
Check out user manual from Motorola, this should help.

Good old AT&T must have removed it from the rom to force you into their app. I did get my answer, however. You have to use the AT&T Radio app. After your trial subscription ends, it will only allow you to select FM Tuner option without subscribing.
So the FM tuner is free, that's acceptable...

Hello Everyone,
I have search the Atrix forum and have not found anything about the FM radio function.
Has anyone been able to enable it? I know it is not a high priority action.
Thanks for any info on this.

It's not currently enabled. with the Nexus One, Cyanogen had an updated ROM to enable the Tuner. I think one of the droids had an update to turn the tuner on. This is quite probable. Companies like Motorolla can sometimes spread revenue over multiple quarters by doing things like enabling new functionality down the road
I tried a Droid x hack for the FM radio.
It behaves as if it will tune..detects the headphones etc..even the volume control works and shows it is FM volume.
I am no where close to some of the experts on this site..but it looks like an easy hack..I hope someone else can take a quick look at this..
I know it not high priority..any insight or direction would be nice

From what I remember from the Nexus One FM radio, a kernel change had to be made. Not sure if that applies here or not. I would note that the Bell Atrix seemed to have a TV/Radio app (on a screenshot I saw). Now, whether this is an actual FM radio and not via streamed data, who knows. Just something to look into.

FM Radio in Orange UK Spec
Orange UK has the Atrix listed as having "FM radio RDS",
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-atrix;jsessionid=DZDVNQNfZ572n66rRcnTgJLKnz1Ncr12nRhyv52Z92qwyr9g9rHL!-1117014923
Its also listed in the paper catalogue as having this feature. Mine (purchased 13th May) doesn't have this enabled, from what I can see, but hopefully this means an update is due soon with this feature turned on.
My friend has a Defy, and it has CMP (Connected Music Player) its basically tunewiki but its the phones standard music player, in the main menus it has the option for FM Radio. Im guessing they are cooking up a version to work for the Atrix. I mean they should if the Defy has it why wont their Flagship device ATM. The Atrix is Motorola's Flagship device ATM right?
There was a hacked version of CMP out there, but the FM tuner did not work. I believe either AT&T disabled the feature so you have to pay for their radio app, or CMP was not quite finished for the Atrix. Maybe it will be included in a future update?
In any event I am also willing to DONATE to any dev who can get it working.
Bell one is an webased apl for the radio and tv, does not use hardware fm
listening to FM radio is like masturbating to pics of old ladys.

Hi all anyone know if the xperia play has an fm Radio and if so where ?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
There's no FM-Radio app on the xplay. SE chose not to enable that function for some reason ( afaik the hardware is there). I think I read somewhere that the reason is battery drain and that might well be, cause on my HTC DHD it was a big drainer.
Regards Dousan...
Good news if the fm Radio hardware IS there, but I have my doubts... Anyone know any apps that might make use of the possible fm Radio hardware?
Has anyone got the radio to work using any apps?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

its will be disabled in the kernel so no app will be able to access it there is no doubt is existst as a fm transmitter/receiver is part of the snapdragon chipset.
I think this has been mentioned before, did anything come of it? They are still advertising it
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I've seen a few devs around the forums saying that there is no FM radio that is accessible on the Atrix. I've tried a few different apps myself, but no luck.
even i have tried the apps but it doesn't work.. since its unlocked now.. this should be taken care form the kernel level i think.. if any dev wants to enable it he CAN.
I already start a thream about fm radio. The kernel must be modified. Our atrix kernel do no have libraries and drivers for hardware. Our hardware have captabilitie for this
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I asked faux123 about enabling the fm radio in his kernel. He's willing to do it, but apparently even though the chip is capable the fm radio output may not be hardwired on the circuit board. He's asking for an atrix technical manual showing the circuit connections before he even begins to work on it. If anyone knows where this type of info is please send it to faux123.

There's an app in the market called TuneIn Radio....I know it's not FM, it's over data, but it pulls all of the stations around me and then some. Might be a good alternate for you guys to try out.

I don't see it either, I looked thru the whole list of apps that you can have pop up when plugging in headset and nada, luckily I would never use it but I'm positive they said it has one.
I saw on a review that the AT&T and Verizon versions wouldn't have it. I don't see it anywhere on my vzw g2.
international version has the app

No it does not... Even if it did it would not work as the G2 does NOT have a Fm radio built in, its grounded, Just like the G Pro.
Internation version (D802) has fm radio!

So I moved the apk and odex into /system/app, changed permissions to 644 and rebooted, but I don't see it in the app drawer.
Do you normally have to do anything else? I remember this working correctly last time I tried a system app.

I can't even get it to install by putting it in /system/app - not sure why it won't even show up in the launcher once its placed there.
^^^^that's what she said^^^^
I can verify that the FM radio feature works on the Sprint LG G2 LS980 variant. I used the NextRadio app on the Play Store and disabled my data connection (3G/4G) and my wifi connection. I then plugged in my headphones to act as the antenna and clicked on a radio station and was able to listen to the radio station.
Can someone else who has the Sprint variant verify that this works for them too?
Does the FM radio feature work on the Tmobile, Verizon and AT&T version? Can someone confirm this who has a Tmobile, Verizon and AT&T version of the LG G2.

Can you post a link to the "NextRadio" app. I search my app store but don't find one exactly named like that. - AT&T on ST LG G2
UPDATE The app is only available on Sprint devices from what I found on the desktop app. BUMMER. Any alternatives on non-Sprint devices?
