I didn't send it anywhere... works just out of the box
It's listed on the website as being supported ...just download the app ..plug in the headset for an antenna ...it works

Yep, confirmed working on Verizon S8+. Good find. I just read the specs somewhere that it didn't have FM and forgot about it. NICE.
Can someone share the apk? thanks
There is no APK for it you just download an app that can access the radio. Next Radio is one, and I believe there's a few others, but Next is the more "known" one.
No fm radio is canada
FM on Sprint S8 already installed
Cool, saw the thread and checked phone to install app. Already installed !! Plugged in my headphones and listening to PBS in minutes.
Thanks for the FYI! I don't know why it would be deactivated in certain regions. Is it consumer demand or studies like the weird G6 feature fragmentation?
thanks for the info mate
i dont understand that the international S8+ Exynos cant do this, what is the difference in this case
the fm radio is built in to the chip... so snapdragon vs exynos

Forgive me if this has been posted but I was hoping someone could confirm this for me. The ATT website shows the GS4 as being FM radio capable with headphones. After all the talk about it being disabled or not included or whatever, this kind of throws a curve ball at me. So can anybody confirm this?
Sent from my HTC Vivid.
I can confirm that I think they made a mistake, like they did with some previous Galaxy's.
Call em up and ask.
Then mention something about false advertising and see what happens.
The german Samsung site too says that FM radio is available.

That's different. It's an official Samsung source. Manufacturer should know better than a carrier.
Hmmm, we should know soon, devices are appearing in peoples hands now.
My other posts point to a new teardown by Chipworks of the Gt-I9500 anyway. Preliminary, and no mention yet of FM or even the known BCM4335 combo chip, that could have FM.
EDIT:
No mention of FM or radio or "UKW-Radio" ("...Ja") in GT-I9505_UM_Open_Jellybean_Ger_Rev.1.0_130411.pdf .
Can someone enlighten me as to what the deal is with the FM tuner on the Verizon variant of the G2?
From my understanding the FM tuner is available on international versions of the G2 (and possible on other US carriers?) but is not available on the Verizon version of the phone. If this is the case then I am trying to figure out why Verizon would explicitly opt to not include the FM tuner? Is it a hardware constraint and/or sacrifice due to the LTE chip? If there is a FM tuner on board and it is just disabled by default (either at the hardware or software level) is there currently a way to enable it by rooting?
I know FM tuners are not a high demand feature these days and most people couldn't care less about being able to use an FM radio on their phone, but I happened to really enjoy this feature when I had my old Thunderbolt from a couple years ago. I wouldn't ever consider getting rid of my G2 solely based on this, as this is an awesome phone and not having FM radio is a small price to pay, but does anyone know if Verizon offers other phones that have a functioning built in FM tuner? The reason I ask is I am wondering if Verizon is trying to subliminally push their customers into using more mobile data (i.e. by streaming the radio stations over their mobile network).
I am interested in what the answer is to this too. I would wonder if the APK for it can be added to the VZW G2 that maybe on another variant ??
Thank you
I was pleasantly surprised that there was an FM tuner.
I was then disappointed to not find it on my Verizon phone....

That is likely the case, but it definitely won't hurt anything if you try it. The manual was only a draft, could be inaccurate. I wanted to try the Note 3 camera APK even though it probably won't work, but people in the Note 3 forum laughed at me and I haven't gotten a copy.

Verizon wants you to use their data network. They don't want anyone to have anything for free.

The G2's Snapdragon 800 CPU has FM tuner circuitry built in. Whether the pins are connected to anything on the VZW G2 is anybody's guess.
For what it's worth, people have tried to install the stock FM tuner application from the international G2 on the VZW G2, and failed.

Verizon is the worst carrier, world-wide, for intentionally disabling FM on their devices.
Almost all their higher end devices are disabled, usually in hardware.
The "best" VZN phone with FM is the new Commando last I looked.

I got LGFmRadio.apk from D802 10G. Then put it into /system/app of VS980 12B.
After reboot, I could run the fm application, but the switch can't be turned on (if turn on, switch would turns from black to blue).
Since the thread is bumped, I'll update this statement:

I have the $180 GSM version of the MotoG and I'll echo every review out there that says it's a steal at that price. Good as any new $250-300 phone. The VZN variant at $100 is even more of a steal.
As for the G2, I'm trying to recall if anyone has tried to run my Spirit1 app on the Verizon version. When rooted, BT off, and wired headset plugged in, any G2 that can support FM shows RSSI at top left over 20 when tuned to a reasonably strong station.
Audio doesn't work in my app, yet, but you can clearly see if the tuner/antenna portion works. My bet is that it doesn't. Verizon kills FM almost on every phone they carry, and certainly on the higher end phones.
I got a Sprint G2 yesterday, and should be able to support it in my FM apps soon.
I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

I updated this new firmware using Odin. I was tired of waiting.
The only other phones I've had are the Samsung Vibrant & Note II and I'm kind of hoping you guys can clear this up for me.
What is the difference between the different "G920I" versions. I understand the difference between the G920 variants (I/T/V/etc..) made for specific carriers/regions but I don't understand what the different variants of the G920I mean (which have different build numbers).
I am looking here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920I/
Can any of these firmwares be flashed on any G920I version? I thought the G920I version would be the same internationally but I'm not sure why some devices are being updates and others are not...can someone clarify?
Thanks.

Just the icon most likely. EU roms show 4g instead of LTE.

Why u want the new headset? The original innovator edition is still the best one. The new official release is lighter yes but has a white inlay so light reflects on it while wearing it and really takes the immersion away.
