It's true, except mine, (from wind) had a radio app (FM radio) that worked. For some reason only wind's phones seem to be able to do that.

Thats True no FM Radio for GX2, why they left tha spot there and not hook up?
How much data the TUNE IN waste?
Isn't there a way to reconnect the radio and modify the software to get it to work?

If I remember my reading correctly, the hardware doesn't have FM capabilities. There was a thread that went through the debug responses from the chip, and the functionality just isn't addressable by software.

everyone says it's "not connected", what if someone actually CONNECTED it?
What i mean is.. there's people out there who mod circuitry, and make thigns, like those arduino modules.
would it be possible for someone to soder/wire some connections to this radio chip so that it got power from the system, and worked?
for instance, the "wind" one seems to have SOMETHING working..
would it be possible for one to get it working themselves, and then have the system use it?

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.

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?

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

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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)
Is there an app for AM radio? I like the fm radio app, and I was just wondering if there was a similar app for AM radio.I'm aware of the various apps that let you listen to internet radio, but I was hoping for something that didn't eat up my data lol thanks in advance for anyone's help!

I don't think that android devices have an antenna for AM (might be a size-related thing), I think you'll have to get an app for that..

Please forgive me if this has been asked and solved before. I'm having a problem with GPS locking on this rom only. I tried updating the GPS config file but had no luck locking on. I'm in an area where with other roms I can typically lock onto about 7 or 8 satellites. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I did try using GPS Status to "reset" the GPS. It did VERY briefly find two satellites and then they disappeared. I've tried re-downloading the rom, wiping, etc. with no luck. I'm just bummed out cause I really like this rom but no GPS is a no-go for me.
Gps works. Try more apps. Get a fresh download. There are always more things to try.

You said it works..are you using an app from the app store, or is it working from the Rom itself? It's my favorite Rom but I rarely use GPS. I just wanna know in case I decide to use it.

I did download GPS Status from the Play Store and I use navigation daily so it's pretty important to me. I don't know why sometimes it seems to see less or more in the same location but I used the turn by turn directions last night just fine. I'll let everyone know if I see any changes but right now it seems good.
I also flashed the Wi-Fi calling and it's working out, thank you. Looking forward to your future projects!
So i downloaded getril out of curiosity. I ran it and it says ril and baseband don't match. I'm on 2.3.4 bb with a v20c ril. Recommending ffor me to upgrade to v21y. My phone is operating fine...basically i just want to know if i should do it or not, if so why?

always upgrade, the radio interface layer needs to match the baseband files.

it works similar to how windows uses drivers to communicate with the hardware, it is basically the same way linux is able to allow the android operating system to communicate with the hardware layer of your network radio, incompatible RIL/baseband can cause dropped calls etc, if it errors out.

You know guys, I thought the same until I realized that cm7 and all ROMs based on it had mismatched ril when installed... sometimes I forgot to use getril for days and there were no noticeable issues.
IMHO I guess, but I have found a lot of such info on xda is belief based (GPS fixes are another example). Anyways whatever floats a boat I guess.

hello...
what's going on everyone... first off just want to thank everyone for their hard work on these forums. thought the whole rooting/modding thing seemed harder than it looked, but when i finally got down and dirty, it reminded me of when i modded my psp a few years back!
anyway, just reading this thread and decided to dl getRIL, and it does say my RIL/baseband don't match. i'm running the g2x with cm7/mazout's 2.6.32.60 GB kernel and the "new baseband fix" after having the popping/"hash hash" sound (can't recall where the thread is off the top of my head...). getRIL says i'm running v20c, i was under the impression that this setup was "v21y-ish"? i've had this setup for a few days now, and the only issues i've had were random reboots/shutdowns (85% positive it's a battery issue... it looks like it's swelling!). i switched from cm10.1 JB (yesss! JB on my g2x...waitaminit... can't call or text?!?!?! aarrgggh!) to EB ICS 4.0.4 for about a week to my current setup (as i like having HWA and a video camera.) but with my current setup, no data/radio issues so far...
basically the point is: should i mess with my baseband or leave it as is? again, thanks!!!
I would use getril to adjust your ril to the baseband just as i did.

It's the same as updating drivers on your computer, you either want to, or you dont. But if you start having issues with connectivity, it is advised that you update the RIL first.
Mine didn't seem like it had any issues either but I did it anyway in the hopes that I could get better battery life, call quality, etc. Haven't really noticed any improvements yet lol.....
So I did it... so far no issues n everything sounds fine as far as radio/call quality goes...

question: why are phones sold with unmatched modem/RIL?
Neither of mine were?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4
It is almost always best to use the RIL that matches the software version it is meant to work with. The RIL is responsible for interpreting commands between the Android kernel and the hardware radio/modem that enable the phone to work as a cell phone. One of the reasons that the G2X won't work as a cell phone with ICS is the incompatibility of the GB RIL with ICS and no G2X specific RIL for ICS is available.
Before i flashed jellyfirebean i had the stock android 2.3 that came with my HTC Desire S, As i used the radio app, i noticed that it used the headphones as an aerial rather than relying on an internet connection, however now that i have flashed a new rom that option is no longer available to me, the ability and hardware still exists but i have no app to be able to do this.
would it be possible for someone who is on the stock rom to just export it over for me into an apk, or could anyone just reccomend a radio app that can work without using an internet connection
sorry if i have posted this in the wrong place i am a newbie
