I would like to know if its possible to bring up FM radio on Nexus S like the Nexus one. I would love to have FM radio on my Nexus S.
It's not possible now. I think nothing has been done about that in development forum

well it doesn't have an fm receiver right? so it'll never happen.
Actually it does. The Bluetooth chip is an FM receiver too. Maybe wifi also.

ohh... interesting. so why isn't it enabled? there must be some reason. interferance? i've read that apparently nfc can interfer with other components.
Not sure. But from the ifixit website (they dissected a nexus)
Hidden underneath an EMI cover is the Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.
The chip reads: BCM4329GKUBG TE1043 P21
According to UBM Techinsights, the chip is a low-power package with 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1, and FM capability.

nice, maybe then it's samsung's fault with driver issues?
Yes. Even I came to know from other websites and links that its the same chip BCM4329 thats present in Nexus one. So I guess its possible to add FM radio support unless if the chip specifications had changed.

Hi,
Does the nexus s have the hardware to function as a fm transmitter for use in the car? Found this mentioned in some of the nexus one forums. Nothing concrete though.

none, not even play radio
Anyone knows an alternative to the CM7 FM radio app?
I don't like the default one, mostly for the unnecessary activation of Bluetooth.
PD: I use the mik's CM7 port ROM
Try this:

Bluetooth and Radio are on the same chip, whenever you launch radio application Bluetooth will be activated by default. It might be possible that some applications/ROMs hide that Bluetooth icon to fool you

Spirit FM (linked above) doesn't need Bluetooth and won't try to fool you

Looks like you don't understand how it works, do you?
Spirit FM does exactly the same...

I have worked with mike (the developer) since about a month after the app was released. I had an LG device which did the same, I ran checks. Spirit FM does not use bluetooth

Above 2 points are valid.
It does indeed use my Bluetooth Chip
The bluetooth is ON but It will be hidden and your notifications nor display will show you.
Only way to verify is to use other device and search, definitely your device will be found.
That means the stock FM app in Stock ROM also used bluetooth ??? and this bluetooth activation is only in optimus one???
No, it's in all devices with the same bt/radio chip.
Like stated before, the full chip must be enabled, that's why in cm7 we saw the bt-icon was enabled when running a radio app. Later on it was hidden.
But I guess I understand now what was meant, the bt-services do not start when enabling fm-radio, so you won't see the bt-icon.
Guys I am trying to run Spirit FM on my LG optimus One (P500) in India.
CAn you please share the settings to get it started. Its not working for me?
I find this post funny tho.
Radio is the radiation (wireless transmission) of electromagnetic signals. The biggest use of radio waves is to carry information, such as sound, by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves.

So tell me, how did u plan radio to function without the wireless part - bluetooth?
You can't fix anything without knowing how it really works. Luck is an exception
I understand that the radio chips in both of these phones is different from one another, and the fm radio chip is not attached in the P-999, but apart from that, what is?
I mean, is there other interchangeable drivers between both phones? For example, the screen, camera, wi -fi (or is that with the radio too?), sound, capacitive buttons, etc?
I was wondering since both phones look 100% exactly the same on the outside.
I would be surprised if the screen/ digitizer was different.

They are interchangeable. I have a p990 digitizer on my g2x.

All the parts are interchangeable. As you mentioned the only difference is the baseband chips (and you aren't going to be replacing that).
p990 wi-fi chip
hi
i'm marco
do you know where the wi-fi chip is located?
do you know the model name?
i 'heve problem with the wi-fi connaction of my p990 and i would to try a reflow chip
also the bluetooth doesn't work
I read online that the galaxy tab 2 7.0 uses a Broadcom BCM4330 chip which has an FM Transceiver and Bluetooth 4.0. But when i bought the tab, there was no FM option in it and the box said that it had Bluetooth 3.0. Is this a software issue ? If so, is there any custom ROM that supports these features ?
I sure would like that. Loved it on my evo.

Why not use an app like TuneIn Radio? I listen to FM and AM stations from all over.

Cause it uses data.. Same thing happened with my n1, didn't get FM until I ran cm7.

W FM radio will be great in car dashboard instead of radio

FM receiver and transmitter ? ... that means I can start my own tiny FM radio company ? lol
thats even cool. you can play tab on your car stereo
good morning
I'm wondering if there is a kernel/rom that allow to listen fm radio off line.
thanks
Nexus s doesn't support FM radio
IT doesn't have the hardware. Use an app over wifi or.... Hmmm... Use a radio. What are the like 3 dollars for a battery powered portable radio. Honestly. I :banghead:

Buy one of those headsets that has a built in radio receiver,because NS doesn't have a radio for, well, um, radio. according to the laws of conservation, we can't just materialise a radio out of nothing/nowhere, no unless you're magic, NS won't have a FM radio.

Hardware it's inside the BT chipset, but it's missing the necessary wiring to make it work, as well the kernel driver...
