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.

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

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)

Wifi throttling?

Do you guys with a GSM Nexus S or maybe the CDMA version experience some sort of wifi throttling?
It's like my wifi gets throttled and apps like XDA, Twitter, Facebook and even the market timeout. Websites also load super slow!
I know it's not my wifi or internet because I get 40Mbps down and 20Mbps up so there's no way its my internet. So I don't know what's up! And its really frustrating me!
So you guys know what might be going on? Maybe I need a radio update? I did install the Trinity kernel but it doesn't seem to have helped except maybe in the battery department.
And I also just got this phone 2 days ago.

Update your radio?

HTC phones have radios that control... well the radios of the phone so I don't know if the Nexus is the same.

What are you talking about? control what?
WiFi is completely fine. I know some NS4G users are having problems with it but it looks like you're using the GSM variant of Nexus S.

The radio is like a driver that controls wifi, network, and Bluetooth radios....
I read about the data drops on the CDMA Nexus. And yes I have the GSM variant

I know what a radio is. What I'm telling you to do is to update your radio if it isn't the latest (or use another radio than what you're using currently).

Oh!
You had said update your radio with a question mark haha...
Okay, the latest radio?

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..

Thanks for the reply, I would think that since fm radio is possible, AM would be. I just want to listen to football and baseball without using up my precious data lol

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?
