No matter what app you use for fm radio, it won't work on our device because the Nexus 5 does not have an FM radio receiver buit in.:good:

Just create your own stations in Pandora or other stream apps....

Tune in radio is a good internet-based substitute

No radio??

Hi all
I was seriously considering purchasing the nexus s when i saw that theres no mentioning of radio, and for someone who listen to radio a lot it kinda disappointed me.
is it true? will i have no radio if i buy the nexus s?
i guess you mean FM-Radio...
after all i read, is the chip fm-enabled, but the OS is not. so you would probably have to wait like on the Nexus One till some guys enable the FM software sided with an app or so!

Personally, I don't care about the FM radio, but your suggested solution isn't a complete one for a few reasons:
1) iHeart doesn't include all FM stations, pandora doesn't include any, I'm not sure Wunderradio has them all either (do all stations simulcast on the net?).
2) I think a full time data connection streaming is going to use more juice than an FM radio receiver. iHeart chews through my battery pretty quickly.
3) An FM radio should receive a signal in places that you may not get a stable data connection.
All the other options available to us are the reason I don't care about FM radio (commercials suck on FM radio), but for some it's still the preferred choice (maybe they like a particular DJ or morning crew...
Yes, i mean FM radio and i kinda listen to it a lot. This is realy disappointing to me. I also assume that enabling the chip means i will have to root the phone in order to use it right? which is something i also didnt want to do... guess i will have to wait for the next phone to come, choose something else or just compromise on the FM radio which is unlikely

Yes, the i9000 does, out of the box. I think the Vibrant (T-Mo version) does, too.
I found this great Android app 'TuneIn Radio' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/tunein.player
This Should Help... All Radio Stations should be there and all it uses is Data.. For Free! Yay! =)

[Q] fm radio to use off line?

good afternoon guys,
can someone suggest me an offline fm radio to install on my 9023I with 4.0.4 on board?
thanks for your help
The Nexus S doesn't have a FM receiver... any offline radio app won't work.

App for radio?

What application have to work with the radio? I'm looking for one better of the stock but I don't find anyone. ?
I use TuneIn Radio from the Google store, works very well for me.
Works with the antenna earphones of the phone?
I use TuneIn as well, it streams radio stations from the web, its great... Doesn't use the headphones as it streams instead.

Try with SpiritFM or Motorola's app
Thanks Alberto97 I will try SpiritFM one more reason for root my phone. Do you think exist a app which no need root?
Check the thread it for Spirit FM. You will see that it is the only app that isn't part of a manufacturer's stock ROM. It's hard to do FM radio because the methods used on each phone are not well documented.
So, as a result, Spirit FM is the only independently developed radio app. The rest use internet.

Thanks albstime, but you refers to the app stock of the Moto G?

PG5 updates brings FM Radio!

Just took notice of the new update (G935VVRU2APG5). Gets us FM Radio, and fixes random reboots, improved HD Voice calls (less drops) and allows Samsung Pay like apps to scan barcode themselves, not depending on other apps.

i was wondering if we can flash that verizon update to any s7/edge and have the radio activated on it?
Will this update remove root and the hotspot tweak of the PE1 kernel?
Any FM radio application recommendations? Preferably free without ads?
To bad radio requires wired ear buds to use (ear bud wires are the antenna). I haven't used wired headphones in years, 100% Bluetooth.

So once you plug in wired headphones is there something that comes up for fm radio or what? I haven't seen the fm option anywhere

You need an app that can tap into the FM radio, the headphones just act as an antenna. I have tried NextRadio with success (and it does use the radio since I can get music with WiFi/mobile data off!)
