An FM tuner? There used to be an app that worked with some tuners. Gonna look for it. I didn't search to find any additional info about the tuner because Tapatalk's search sucks.
Edit: Looking at the link above I noticed there was an FM tuner.

There is indeed an FM tuner on the board. I've tried some FM radio apps and have had no luck even with head phones plugged in(which is what most phones use for antennas). We've talked about finding a way to enable it in the past but no one has really looked that hard. Not super high on the priority list.

Hi all! this is in regard with our gps issues... I just want to share how i got the gps working at least I can say 99 percent accurate navigation, thru gps receiver module. I know its kinda stupid buying one but I was really happy with the results. I bought this gps receiver module in amazon.com(Globalsat BT-359). then downloaded the FREE bluetooth gps provider app in the market. Easy to pair and connect with our captivate. I have been using it now for a week and so far so good, locks and always on the spot.
p.s. the main reason I bought the module was for my nook color which btw works too, this prompted me to test it on the captivate which works wonders now with my navigation. Just sharing!

thats a workable solution for some
but you did NOT GET YOUR GPS working. You are simply using an alternate GPS device.

A search would have shown you that. Always do a search before starting a new thread.
to be fair that thread title is horrible from a descriptive standpoint.
I heard that some models of the Galaxy S line have FM Radios built in. Anyone know if it's built-in and disabled, or if it's on and we just need an app for it?
I've looked in the market for an FM radio app, and for a solution but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Officially, I've seen it's nonexistant, but some seem to have doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I too would like to get this feature working. From this site:

It says that the hardware is there. So it's only a matter of someone figuring out how to remove the block!

do you have to have a certain model like I had a mytouch 3g but there were so many different models 32a and 32b and voderfone so is it the same case for the SGS4G

Well there are a few hardware specification mistakes; for example, it says the CPU is Samsung manufactured, while it is in not that, but a Hummingbird CPU.
Hummingbird was codeveloped by Samsung and Intrinsity. Check wiki.

Why not just download a radio app and use that? You get way more stations that way.
Sigh. Wish someone would figure out the right answer. And if it does have a tuner, turn it on! Oh well...

Uses data, and probably a lot more battery compared to a tuner.
Someone pointed out at Android forums that there isn't an FM radio on our phone. I thought there was. I thought I saw somewhere that the antenna was in the headset like my old Archos?
I found this thread in the Optimus 2x forum area here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043897&highlight=radio
I'm wondering what the status of figuring this out is? Has it been discussed at all here? I couldn't find it if it has.

I believe the FM radio has to be enabled on the kernel level. Until we get a kernel that has support, no radio for us.
We do have a couple of kernal developers now though. I wonder if this has just been put on the backburner and if anyone of them could look into this.

Because an FM tuner allows you to listen to local stations that may not have digital feeds. It also doesn't use any of your data quota.

if you go into the hidden menu do you get sound or is it just input the frequency and still get no sound. i found the service manual and it does look like the fm radio was not hooked up at all but if we still get sound from the hidden menus test then it might be possible

HI
i dont know what is the service but you can
go to setting-Apps-All-com.qualcom.atfwd....stop it
if you see a problem with your phone just restart and this service run again
com.qualcomm.atfwd service (atfwd.apk) is Qualcomm's WiFi display. It allows you to mirror your devices display on a TV.
The apk can be deleted. WiFi display is only half functional on Stock anyway - WiFi connection gets disabled. I've included this file in the NoMoto Script and there have been no issues with it's removal.

Wfd are Wifi Direct services, I recommend you dont freeze/remove them, they can be usefull in more common communication cases.
Wireless Display probably has something to do with miracast or similar, but I'm not sure.

Yes. Moto G supports Wireless Screen Mirroring with a simple build.prop edit. Motorola Stock is limited however in that it can only Mirror phone without WiFi Internet connection. GPE ROMs however can Wirelessly Screen Mirror and maintain WiFi Internet connection.
See Moto G FAQ for more info.
I remove it and i do not have any problem

Thanks for posting this because I accidentally clicked wrong and have been searching for a while to try to figure out how screwed I am lol &i don't have miracast so I'm not as worried about it as I was just after I did it or after I started searching for what it was and started worrying because i wasn't getting much more than a bunch of lists I really REALLY really REALLY didn't feel like reading lol...[I'm on my itouch because I did it on my phone and until i knew what it was I didn't want to touch my phone again and for some reason my itouch doesn't have a 'find on page' option to type "com.qualcomm.atfwd" into to avoid reading every last word looking for "a needle in a haystack" ..which is exactly what I would have wound up doing if you didn't write this &get an answer & even though none of you have anything to do with it being a really good answer for me I appreciate it as if you did lol

It's possible to make it work if there is a connection between chip and headphone jack. (For antenna)
I talked to the developer of SPIRIT FM and he told me this
Code:
Thanks for the log.
It looks like it has a Qualcomm FM/BT/WiFi combo chip.
But the kernel does not have the needed Qualcomm "IRIS" V4L FM driver at /dev/radio0.
Disabling the kernel driver is pretty unusual; even Google Nexus devices don't do that, despite that their FM antenna pins are hardware disabled.
A kernel that supports the FM V4L driver is needed to test any further.
Let's see
The easiest thing I have found which I listen to local channels is I-heart radio. I've had many phones in the past that had FM but never used it because I get what I want from I-heart radio and I use Bluetooth headset with mine.

I-Heart Radio is good but it uses bandwidth not all local radio stations are available.
Interesting, I'd love to see if having this included in a custom kernel will make an FM tuner app work..

Well if you can zoom in the picture and look on chip itself it clearly shows as WCN3680. And as per BT 4.1 its just a patch it can applied to most or all 4.0 devices.
