Where is your evidence or link showing this?
Oneplus hesitantly(see the link) says NO Fm.

But see step 14. (Qualcomm WCN3680 802.11ac/FM/BT 4.0 Combo Chip)https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+One+Teardown/26484
I am confused, can it be enabled using kernel?

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..
I just asked AK if he can have a look someday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54966825&postcount=998

not sure how that's used. OPO is a BT 4.1 device, so i'm not sure that they've identified the correct part.

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.
I've asked Franco to look into it as well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r1-t2800871
Looks like it's a no go

I was checking my opo ..fooling around and saw this "Qualcomm WCN3680" and then I saw an FM radio hmmm I thought OPO didn't have, then google it and here we are
Why use a chip with fm tuner and disable it? ..unless it's defective ones from qualcomm with fm tuner in a non working condition ..but cheaper
This is a topic where the spirit FM dev helps with enabling FM on the One.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/spirit-fm/spiritfm-oneplus-one-t2866431/post55856106
I'd love to try this, but I do not know that much about building my own kernel. Anyone else that is willing to try this or can at least point me in the right direction?
Why almost all the customize ROMs do not include FM radio function?
FM radio is not important, but useful and happy with that.
Maybe this will help : https://android.googlesource.com/ke...4-kitkat-mr1/drivers/media/radio/radio-iris.c
Its true. I hope CM folks can enable it.

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.

Probably put on the backburner. OC and UV is usually first priority.

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.

LOL, well that's it folks
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

Since when is missing FM-radio support a bug? Android has never and probably will never support FM radio receivers, the manufacturers did some deep and partially ugly hacks in the code to get it working. You can get (most) FM-capable devices working with the SpiritFM paid-for application.
By the way; no this device does not have FM support. FM more or less died some time ago on flagships.
For the rest: see @timmaaa

come on now you meant to tell me you have not read up anything on this phone. There are a million threads on xda or oneplus.net itself. Check youtube for videos if you like but I think your question was not one that needed to be asked especially with all the info out there for this phone. No disrespect but honestly info for this phone is saturated over the web.. Google Plus is also a great place

Could listen to FM radio using TuneIn..... but honestly, are FM radio that popular now with cloud services such as Spotify and Pandora? You get more access to what you listen to plus you don't have to listen to the same song 5 times in one hour.
Tie that together with T-Mobile unlimited music, Spotify/Pandora is even more addicting.

sry didnt know. I thought it supports it.
Oneplus Just released kernel sources for opx, that is FM capable and has an FM radio app. I don't know if this can help in porting the FM on opo. Sadly, spirit FM developer stated that is an hardware limitation.
Let me know what you think :/
OPO doesn't have an FM receiver so nothing could be done

The OpO SOC is FM capable, however OnePlus didn't wire up the receiver to the headphone jack. No hope, unfortunately.

Hi there!
I have a rooted Galaxy S6, model SM-G920W8 and after a few research I found that there's not a lot of applications for real live FM .
Next Radio doesn't support my model.
And for Spirit radio, I have this message : ERROR: Tuner API did not start or stop. This device may need a kernel with a working FM driver.
So, I' m willing to do what it takes to have it even if I needs to downgrade to another rom that contains live FM radio.
Thanks in advance.
There's no FM Radio S6.

What do you mean?
If you're talking about unlocking the FM chip inside , I've read that some phones doesn't have one and elsewhere I've read that they all have it and they block it when shipping from China.
In fact I beleive that all chinese version of every phone have the FM chip unlocked.
Anyways, I'm gonna search until I have the ultimate proof that it can't work.

Hello,
I would know if is it possible to activated the radio fm chip of the Qualcomm snapdragon 845 on the Oneplus 6 smartphone ?
Thank you and best regard
there are no "chip" for fm radio.
The poco phone F1 have FM radio and have the same snapdragon 845. Its not way to activate on one plus 6

Just because it's on the list doesn't mean it's even for the OP6..
Most have a template for xda and Aex has probably forgotten to remove FM radio [emoji6]
If the chip is not activated then FM radio does not work..
OP6 has not activated the chip and can only be activated by the manufacturer...

You would have to integrate it into the firmware, but they dont advertise it as a feature so I doubt that will happen.

Yes the Snapdragon 845 does indeed have an FM chip. If you don't believe it go to Google and type Snapdragon 845 FM radio. Also it has to be turned on Via firmware on OnePlus side
Using FM always sucks anyway, because you have to have headphones plugged in to get reception.

Then why are you replying to this thread anyway? If you don't use a feature, then don't use a feature. Why does it matter to you that someone else wants to use a feature that you don't? Think about a feature that you like and use and there is probably someone else that doesn't like or care about that feature at all. If the hardware supports it and the software enables it for everyone, you just won't use it, but it can make a lot of people who do use it much happier.
As for why FM is still useful for some people. Not everyone has unlimited data or consistent wifi connections everywhere they go. There are also times where even if you had unlimited data and wifi, there's no connection, or servers are overloaded, such as a natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, etc) where you could still listen in on FM if your phone had the hardware and software to do so and you have a headphone cable to connect as an antenna.
