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).

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.
Any one know how to get FM tuner going. I can't locate software.

Wrong section but I also was wondering this too. Maybe we can pull the files from the o2x.

I have seen a couple of sites say that it didn't have a FM Tuner and then a lot more that says it does.
I wish there was some clarification on this and a known way to access it assuming that there is one.
I tried playing with it in the hidden menu and I never got it to work so I believe that it's there it's just not enabled in the kernel
Official site states that it have FM tuner.

Can any one pull FM software from 2x and see if ot will work?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I got the phone last night...there is no FM tuner on it.
I am trying to find one similar to the one on the darkstone froyo build for the HD2...
I don't know if T-Mobile changed it, or if I am remembering wrong, but I am pretty sure the T-Mobile G2x features page used to list an FM radio, but it sure isn't there now. I remember being very excited about it because I use the FM radio on my Nexus all the time. This may be a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the dev community can get it working.
Also seems odd for them to not enable FM radio for this phone when the O2x has it and the Optimus T also has one.

How do you get to the hidden menu?
http://cheapcellunlockedphones.com/lg-optimus-2x-hidden-menu/
I needed to use LauncherPro to find the activity. Just be careful, there is items that will completely up your phone in this menu and we don't have an nv-flash backup yet.
Try using the APK from the LG O2x. It should work, because the G2x firmware contains most of, if not all of the same framework the O2x features.
There is a app on the market call wunderradio it does all ur local FM stations and more its with the $ try that and see what u think used it for a few years keeps getting better plus It does not require headphones to work

The apks were posted in the above post, but from what I can tell they didn't have success yet.
Can anyone try these out and see if they work for them?
From what I've read the radios in the O2x and G2x are a bit different, so the FM capability could be different.
I think the Nexus One was also capable of Wireless N and FM radio, but neither of those were ever enabled.

Didnt work, tried it.
Realistically, if we're assuming that the radio is included in the hardware, but removed software-wise, then we should probably start with determining if we even have a driver for it or not. I don't have my phone yet, so can't help.
In all official listings before release FM radio was in the specs list. I hope they only remooved software.

This seems to be the similar problem that we had with Samsung Vibrant. Unfortunetly there was a hardware missing on Vibrant, but hoping it is not the case for G2x. Hopefully kernel fix and drivers, along with the apk from o2x would fix it.(fingers crossed)
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...

I smashed the screen on my HTC One XL and am in the process of replacing it. The new screen is installed, all the connectors are inserted correctly, but I haven't put the backplate back on yet.
I know that the screen is working fine, as I can turn the phone on and use the touchscreen. The wifi is also connecting nicely. However, the phone doesn't connect to the phone network and has a 'No Service' error message. It recognises the SIM card, so that's not the problem.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?
Double check every single one of your connections.

I already have.
But which connection would it be? If I'm not mistaken, the cellular signal antenna is on the same chip as the Wifi. So how can the wifi work without the cellular?

If I'm not mistaken there should be a ton of metal connections on the backplate, maybe one of those is the antenna?

You mean I'd need to install the backplate to get the antenna to work? I can't see anything that looks like an antenna, but it's possible.

That's what I'm thinking. If you didn't miss any of the antenna connectors the only real option is to reassemble the phone and try it.

Yes! It did.
I think the antenna is the contact on the top-right side of the backplate.
Except now the earpiece speaker isn't working.
Anyone have any idea what could be going wrong there?
Hi guys. I was wondering if there is a radio app most likely AM because i need to listen to news that doesnt require internet connection. I really need one in case of emergencies and all especially now that a typhoon is approaching my country. Thanks.

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.
