From what I'm reading, the Galaxy S7 has an FM radio! I'm on Verizon and it's disabled :/ Would be handy for severe weather.
"Contact your wireless carrier today to let them know — as a matter of public safety and consumer fairness for data plans — you want your phone’s FM chip activated for constant access to free FM radio!"

I don't know if there's really enough public outcry on this to make a difference. Not sure I'd ever listen to an FM station over streaming anymore. Too many commercials.
I have the S7 on Sprint and fortunately they have not disabled the FM Radio. They even include a great app, Next Radio. FM is great because it uses NO DATA or WIFI. Even if the phone has no service, the FM radio still works which would be great in emergency situations.
Sometimes sports teams will want you to purchase an audio package to stream local games and will black them out on TuneIn Radio. I just open up Next Radio and listen with no problems. Also works when traveling internationally.
only Galaxy S mini have a FM Radio app
anyone know if the T-mobile version has fm? can anyone suggest an app?

guys ... is there anyone who knows if we can install a FM radio on a windows device ... isnt this a feature missing on our PDA's? please facilitate if any of u know a way out..
Thankz nhz
FM Radio requires hardware the Kaiser does not have.
who needs fm radio when you can stream Satellite/Internet Radio??
Most FM stations have mms streams available...
well, fm is for free, streaming is not.
Also fm just works if you get the right frequenzy, streaming often has some issues.
A few years ago, i saw a FM radio antenna to plug into the headphonejack of pdas. Dont know though if it would work with the kaiser + headphonejack adapter.
This was tried by dutty a few months ago. A cab was circulated for testing.
The bottom line is that, as someone stated above, the kaiser doesn't have the hardware.
FM Radio doesnt work!
You need a special Blue Tooth Chip with Radio built in. If this chip isnt in your device ... you can do nothing! after that you can mess a round with your radio rom to switch this function on ... or you must patch your spl too :->
-or- use a BT Headset that has an FM radio ... like I do with a Motorola S705, then you can stream if you want, or FM if you want.

hy,
i am searching for a real fm radio app (no web radio) special for moto defy what support loudspeeker and no headphones (i know its the antenna but on some places it not needs a headphone antenna) and very important for me and i think not only for me is a recording function.
i am not a programmer, but i am wondering why there is no FM Radio app for Android around? is it so much harder as all the other apps around ? or is it more a problem of the different hardwares in the phones, but on the other hand also wifi, cam etc.. works on the different phones with "one" app.
i am shure many many users world wide will pay more as only 1$ for a fm radio app (me include).

See my sig for my FM Radio app, mostly working well on CM ROMs which also have the CM FM app.
Yes it IS much harder, because Google didn't define an FM Radio API, or develop a reference FM app.
So I've been stuck doing labor/time intensive reverse engineering of the TI and Broadcom FM chips. AND I need APIs I can call from my app to control the FM hardware. AND I need code to handle the audio routing issues which may be different from phone to phone.
Google (and Apple) may have some ad/music revenue issues that have stopped them from supporting FM. Rumors continue about Apple "monetizing" FM however.
Sony Ericsson is working on an API but it remains to be seen if it will become useful.

Interesting, thanks for the link.
So Tune-In will support recording on Android now...
But it's a streaming app of course, and limited to stations that are online, and where-ever (and how much $-ever) data services are available.
look at resco. They say they have such a app.

Do you mean a REAL FM app that works over airwaves without a data connection ?
I only did a quick google, but found this that seems to say they will NOT develop a real FM app due to the issues that are currently plaguing me. IE. different phones require different code.

What does everyone recommend for internet radio apps? I had Pandora for a while, but it always seemed to get into a rut as far as what songs it would play, and it got predictable. I can't seem to find Slacker's app in the market anymore.
i listen to more local stuff with tune in radio pro (was free on amazon a while back) and i like it... pandora is a bit predictable, and you're limited to how many hours you can listen to for free.
+1 for tune in radio
I listen to this every morning at work on my phone since I cant stream on our work network. Stations from across the country, great variety, and the radio itself has a pretty slick interface.
Winamp rocks.

Hands down "Wunder Radio" it even picks up local radio stations by GPS!
It has a ton of radio stations from around the world.
Great selection
Tune In is incredible.
Another vote for Winamp

Winamp is really great for internet radio - it gives access to the huge Shoutcast network with just about anything you could want.
TuneIn Radio is excellent for local (and national and international) commercial radio stations. The difference between the free version and the retail version is that the retail version can record what you listen to. In America, all the stations owned by Clear Channel Radio are excluded from TuneIn Radio because they have their own app - "I Heart Radio." Last time I tried that app it was awful.

Hello There.
Looking to buy Vivo Nex mobile. But stuck at one point. Want to have FM Radio to tune local stations. I'm a FM lover.
Can someone confirm whether there is FM Radio available on this device. As i see there is no FM Radio mentioned on any website.
If FM chip is ready but locked for future updates, Then i can wait to get unlocked from future updates or if there is no FM chip is available then comes me a big question to go with it or not.
There is no other words to point out but if FM then it is complete Daily driver for me. Please help me to choose the right.
Hi, does anyone know if there Is there a radio app that will use the Samsung S10 plus built in FM radio, rather than having to use internet streaming apps.
I read that the s10 plus does receive FM signals but all the radio apps i keep downloading seem to be internet stream only.
Thanks
James.
