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 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.
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.
I can't find none

Tune in radio. There's a free version in the market that works great

This phone will not be able to pick up FM Radio, if I recall correctly this phone has the chip inside ffor FM Radio but its not "connected" so it won't work, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I've tried before to try to listen to the radio on my phone but any app I use wont work.
Hope this helped!

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.
Thanks

Ya tune in works great. I have the paid version which even lets u save the broadcasts. I use it every day and have never had a problem.

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.

Do you happen to have an apk for the FM? I have WIND mobile aswell and would love to get FM on this too.

Even if I did, it would not work without the libs and proper kernel config.
Someone plz help

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?
Am fm radio apk
I've always been surprised that there isn't FM radio on these things. Seems silly. Is there a way to get one of the internal radios' to do true FM radio?

Not surprising, Wifi and Bluetooth are in the 2Ghz range. FM is 100 Mhz.
Just install Tune-in Radio app and you won't have a need for a hardware FM radio
Im running cm, is spirit fm the only app for fm radio? Would it b better for my battery to just use internet radio

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.
