Is there any app that let you listen to the regular fm radio with out internet connection?

No cause the radio hardware has been taken out of our unit

There is an app that has a lot of local stations called "TuneIn radio". It gets you the station through the internet.

nope dont think so

NO
There is absolutely no radio hardware in SGS4G.
Either use TuneIn (or equal) on WiFi or get another phone...
SGS i9000 does have radio inside.

use an alternative apps such as tunein radio.
My Sensation has an FM radio. I need to use the headset as an antennae, but it does have it. (TMOUS version)
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....

Well I'm actually looking for an app to stream music from my sensation to home theater using FM rds. I used to do that on my Nokia n900. Just open radio settings, set FM frequency to any thing like 99.0 and in music player there was an option that enabled FM transmission and vola ! play songs on any device that has FM.

That's not the same thing you asked in your initial post. The HTC Sensation DOES have FM RDS which means it can receive data from the radio stations such as the name of the station or program ("BBC R3 - Mozart Piano Concerto No. 12" for instance).
BUT it does not have an FM transmitter like the N900 or N97. So you cannot do what you want using FM frequency. (You could using Bluetooth).
I hope this answers your question.

Hmm yeah! Got it. Will try streaming via dlna. Unfortunately my home sterio does not have dlna, but my TV has, so I will have to set my TVs audio out to sterio and then stream it. Man! Its a long process. Wait, HTC has some dlna adaptor addon for older TVs and sterois.
Thanx for answers.

Am radio

Is it possible to get am radio on my inspire. I know there is an fm app, but I couldn't find an am one. Do I have to get a transmitter?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
It depends on what stations you're looking for. I know there are a bunch of apps that have some AM stations, but they're only the stations that stream their broadcasts.

FM RADIO still nothing???

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

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...

The built-in FM radio (using radio tuner) take almost no power at all - just what your speaker or headphones use - while any internet radio will take the same for speaker/headphones PLUS as much as your internet connection requires to get data packets (4G radio drains battery a lot more than i.e. wi-fi, specially in not-so-good signal strength areas). So yes, the built-in FM radio is certainly better for your battery than anything else.

You will need a device that has the radio ship built in and if I remember right only HTC and some Sony devices have this chip still.
Yeah im using a Samsung Galaxy S3 with cm11. If im not mistaking my phone has radio capabilities since back when i was still using touchwiz it has a radio app.

Then if it is the EU version (US version doesnt have the hardware) Then just grab a fm radio app and hook up some headphones (they are used as antenna) and you should be good to go.
While it's not impossible to cram an AM radio in a phone, getting good reception requires the radio/phone to be stationary in a specific position. Cell phones typically don't remain stationary. So manufacturers, even the few that still put FM radio, simply don't bother. No app can turn on what doesn't exist.
I don't know how it's done in the Philippines (I assume that's where you are - good luck by the way), but in the US, severe weather emergency alerts can be broadcast through regular cellular telephony. Of course, that assumes the broadcast towers are still standing...
Your best bet is to buy a small portable radio. Something that people listen to sports on, or even one of those emergency ones that you can crank to charge up. But it wouldn't surprise me if these are hard to find, considering what's about to hit your islands.
