I have tried a couple different versions that I had, but none of them worked, even the one I was using on the Bionic. The app would hang on start up and remain actively trying to load. I had to uninstall it because it was having a significant negative impact on my battery.
I wonder if there is even an fm receiver built into the phone?
Why bother with FM..besides data issues... most stations stream online now

Why bother with laggy data streams?
Snapdragon blueprints that I have seen have an FM receiver. I believe it's unknown if the HD actually has it. I for one would love to have this, in the event of an emergency, with no data, radio could be one of the only methods of communication.
Also, like you said, it would save a heckuvalotta data!
Why bother?
Cuz every local station doesnt stream online or stream reliable enough.
Cuz I dont have to use my internet connection for FM Radio.
I have tried many streaming radio apps...and the one that has most of my local stations...Tune In....doesnt have them all and some of the ones I want are either not there or not reliable.
Yea streaming is nice....but I rarely use it for music. I have Spotify and most of the time I use the off line feature. And I just like the morning and evening shows. The commercials announcing concerts, events, etc.
, Sunday Night Football is blacked out. That's what I was afraid of. If I had FM radio I could listen.

anything else out there besides Pandora?
On my evo4g it always lags up and when I first start it, shows a "Loading" screen for a while..like all through the first song so I can't change stations, or like/dislike/skip a song for a while.
This is on gingerbread'd evo 4g, over WiFi.

Slacker radio
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I find slackers music library to be much deeper than Pandora. also the station cache feature is well worth the 5 dollars a month because it saves a ton of battery life, data usage, and makes stations accessible when signal is low.
jango is a good alternative.

+1 for slacker, the music quality seems better as well. If you pay $9 a month, you can create your own playlists from the songs you have selected that you like and listen to them anytime. Thats my fav feature. Oh and i like the UI much better.
Hi people,

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.

They do actually. It's called the HTC Media Link. It should work.
What are you guys using to listen to music? At one time, I had downloaded an unlimited version of Pandora. Now, the ads are killing me with the market version. What other services or solutions do you guys have to listening to music?

Tune In Radio and Slacker.

I'm using Slacker radio seems so much better even though on some roms volume+ wont work with it

I loved slacker however it insists on running all the time and causes a pretty massive ammount of partial wakelocks. Cached content is an amazing feature though especially when you work out in the bush or out of service area.
Pin it to Win it.
So what do you think about Rdio
G2x
I was using slacker, but it was getting repetative like Pandora, not to mention expensive, soon many different tier's and in my opinion, too much forethought to personalize the stations..
I enjoy DJ mixes and a variety of mainstream music, right now I use
Fit Radio (great DJ mixes hip hop, electronic, and rock.. has volume level fluctuation and I haven't looked into it, randomly force closes)..
And TuneIn radio.. its like a free version of Sirius radio
My advice would be to pay the Buck for the pro version, says benefit is abuliry to record but I've noticed 2 or 3 times the amount of podcast and world stations. Also quality and connection seemed to improve as well.
All depends on the type of music, and how often you listen, and if you use headphones, Bluetooth or wired to audio Jack..
Soundza
being as I have a sub to XM Radio, I use their app for my music pleasures
Rockin the Unlimited Pandora v5.x.x.x
Unlimited padora 1.3 here w/ cm7 volume controls for music. Never noticed any adds?
Edit: I can upload it somewhere for you if you want it.

When I connect my phone via bluetooth or aux no Pandora information is displayed on the dash, Google music displays information fine. I remember running across a thread one time where there was a possible fix if you were rooted...at the time I read the thread I wasn't rooted so I didn't pay much attention....now I am rooted, running cleanrom. Any ideas? It's not a huge deal but it sure would be nice if it worked.
Well aux isn't a type of connection to display information like that. I'm rooted running clean rom and pandora displays just fine on my pioneer lcd screen in my car via bluetooth. So it use to work but doesn't anymore after having rooted and running clean rom?

It's never worked. I've Googled a bit and read some threads on it working with CM 10 (other phones) so it's obviously a file or setting somewhere.....this is the kind of little tiny thing that can give me ocd
No I understand lol You're sure that you car is capable of displaying pandora information? Have you tried with another phone? It's working me but not sure. Is there any settings in the car?

I have no idea if works with another phone. The car as far as I know does not have any "advanced" bluetooth settings but I could be wrong. I have no idea if it's capable of displaying Pandora info but it was built in 2013 so I would hope it is. I will check with the dealership but I don't see why G Music would work but Pandora would not.
My 2012 Jetta has never displayed Pandora music info on the screen. I've used a droid RAZR, HTC rezound and my gs3. But my friends iPhone 4 does display the info in my car. So I'm assuming its an android issue not a specific ROM issue.

In doing a bit of googling, the Pandora android app doesn't have AVRCP metadata support...meaning it doesn't send the info to be displayed. However some one has a github showing how to alter the Pandora app so it will.
On the bottom of the first post in this Honda Civic forum (sorry) http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/au...-support-android-album-track-information.html the OP posted an altered Pandora that will stream data. Try it.
Oh yeah, CM has yet to merge the Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 (and it may be quite a while, so I've read). So even if you do download the modded Pandora, it won't work with CM. And that applies to any rom that uses CM as a base.
That works! Unfortunately I don't think I can handle the ads... Thanks for your post!

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.
