fm radio? - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

Can't get a good answer on this (not streaming, just fm)
Yes or no?

Didn't check. But since it isn't available on the U11 I'd guess the answer is no - as it is in case of many high-end devices since the last year in fact.

Well no problem as long as you can install an FM radio and an adequate service app, ain't it. Did so on my U11 as well.

I have the unlocked 64GB Translucent Blue and there is no FM radio, unfortunately.

Ok, got it now.
After 10 years with HTC I bought a LG v30.
With a fm radio :good:

How do you "install an FM radio" if the underlying OS/kernel didn't expose that hardware (and that's assuming it's enabled at SoC-level)?

Hi, FYI, I was asking about real over the air free to use FM radio. Not any streaming app.

Yes I know. But FM radio nevertheless needs a service App which is able to use the headphones as an antenna, as it has been the case on older devices. The old HTC Radio App had a service app working in background as well.

The U11 radio chip was disabled by HTC, like most other new phones despite requests from emergency services for non-internet radio

And as I told you it could be reactivated by some custom ROMs at least which came with the ANT+ Radio Service found on the PlayStore, as well as the old HTC FM-radio App from apk mirror. So it has to be tested if this works on the U12+ as well.

Just tried this:https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-c...io-8-00-718941-android-apk-download/download/
No dice on U12+ by default (=radio is disabled either in OS or at SoC-level.)

It's at OS level, as the SoC is indeed capable of it.

FM tuner

Any one know how to get FM tuner going. I can't locate software.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Wrong section but I also was wondering this too. Maybe we can pull the files from the o2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
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.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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?
http://cheapcellunlockedphones.com/lg-optimus-2x-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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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?

Radio App

Before i flashed jellyfirebean i had the stock android 2.3 that came with my HTC Desire S, As i used the radio app, i noticed that it used the headphones as an aerial rather than relying on an internet connection, however now that i have flashed a new rom that option is no longer available to me, the ability and hardware still exists but i have no app to be able to do this.
would it be possible for someone who is on the stock rom to just export it over for me into an apk, or could anyone just reccomend a radio app that can work without using an internet connection
sorry if i have posted this in the wrong place i am a newbie
Search for Spiti FM here on xda or on play store. Its a good replacement for radio.

[Q] I noticed that nexus 5 hasn't radio....is it true?

Nexus 5 has radio or not?
As in an FM Radio?
The answer is NO.
No, it doesn't.
You will have to use an Online radio app like TuneIn...
Hi,
It seems not: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46213683#post46213683 (a bit old but...).
I swear I flashed a Rom a week or so ago that had a fm radio app that worked. Can't remember which Rom right now cause I flash a lot. I'm at work now but I'll try and find some more info today.
Update... Looks like I'm wrong the nexus 5 does not have a fm radio built in.

it could have been an internet radio app, as the nexus 5 doesnt have a fm/am receiver.

We can all guarentee that there is no FM transmitter inside the phone. The sprint HTC one and g2 (off the top of my head) have this and I know that because the radio in STL is constantly advertising "use the next radio app and don't drain battery or use precious data to listen to the radio."

Spirit FM on Oneplus One?

Hello,
I know the Onepplus One doesn't have a FM radio, so this is maybe a stupid question, but can you get FM radio on the Oneplus one with the Spirit FM app?
Thanks in advance!
No you cannot. OPO doesn't have the required hardware, I have tried it.
