I have a samsung xcover 4s and I cannot use the fm radio in airplane mode. But, I can use wifi or bluetooth in airplane mode through the status bar icons. Is their a way to use the fm radio in airplane mode, possibly through a hack? Can it be done through a prior version of the samsung radio app? If so, where do I get prior versions of the samsung radio app? Does anyone know if this were possible with samsung phones in the past? Or if a simple update will fix this problem?
@fl3smz I just posted a reply for this here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fm-radio-in-airplane-mode-is-it-possible.2035054/post-86696885
You will need root access though.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Qtek S110. I just cannot get it to use Bluetooth whilst the radio is off. Whenever I try to activate bluetooth whilst in flight mode it tells me to turn off flight mode first.
I can find no way of turning the radio off other than switching to flight mode.
When I hold the power button down the screen backlight turns off but the radio remains on - totally different to what my Qtek manual states.
My goal is to have Bluetooth working with my GPS receiver but have the radio turned off.
I've emailed Qtek and a rather terse reply states that my phone is not working properly and to return it to the supplier. I don't trust that information and if I did return it I'm just as likely to get a phone which does exactly the same thing.
So, my question is, could someone please tell me if it is definately my firmware that causes this problem? (please see my current firmware in my sig)
Thank you.
BT switches OFF in flight mode no matter what firmware you use! It's designed like that.

Ah, I realise both BT and the phone should turn off in flight mode but what I am trying to do is to just turn the Bluetooth on by itself. I can't find out how to do it and the manual gives me no clues.
Could you please tell me if it is possible to have the phone off but bluetooth on (obvioulsy with the device on and not off)? If so, how do I do that.
If not, Qtek already told me that it should be possible to have bluetooth on when the phone part is off.
Thanks
A software called phone alarm allows you to do that. Make sure you install the latest version. You will be able to switch off the radio and leave the BT on.
Qtek support are wrong. Using the default apps you cannot switch off Radio unless you put it in flight mode.

Hi,
I have just installed v1.27 of Phone Alarm again in the hope that I missed something the first time I tried it.
Do you have phone alarm software installed? Could you please tell me how I turn off the phone part because I can't figure out how and I just read the instructions. If you do could you please try to it and tell me what you did - would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Actually,
I seem to have just managed to do it.
Not quite sure exactly what I've done as it was initially still telling me that I needed to turn flight mode off.
But, I am now seeing a nice blue led with no green led and a cross through the GSM indicator!!!
Thanks for all the info kta!! This is very much appreciated as I can now keep my phone which I like alot and buy that GPS receiver!
Thanks again!
I was just about to answer you. You beat me to it
Hi,
I've an S6 G920i coming from Australia but I use it in Europe. Everything works well but the GPS.
It looks like an hardware fault. GPS Test doesn't show any satellites. Could it be a problem of localization/configuration (baseband - gps.conf )?
The HW testing menu (*#0*# - Sensor Hub Test) says:
MCU: BCM4773IUB2G
PASS
Is there any other way check out the hw?
What can I do to fix it? Changing the firmware could help? I read about an NV REBUILD but I can't access to that manu....
Try a hard reset first, if that doesn't fix it.
Use Samsung Smart Switch to reinstall the firmware.
I have the Gear S2 3G from Verizon with the following.
Iphone 7+ with IOS 10.2
S2 Firmware is R730VVRU2BPC7
The items I need help with are:
1) Is this the latest firmware?
2) If not what is?
3) If I still have to update, can I do it without a Samsung phone? I traded mine in for Iphone 7+.
Also:
I tried to use latest leak and did the following:
-Download leak and synced it with and placed on Iphone.
-Trusted it in settings.'
-Factory Reset Gear S2.
-Forgot Bluetooh settings on phone.
-Tried to connect and app says connecting, watch spins setting up and then the app crashes.
-It wants to send crash report. Meanwhile watch is caught in setting up loop.
Any help would be appreciated.:laugh:

I'm not familiar with using a Gear S2 with an iPhone, as I have a Note 4. Hopefully someone with an iPhone can jump in. I can say this, the leaked firmware was for a BT only Gear S2. It will not work with our S2s that are 3G/4G. I also have one, but mine is from T-Mobile. I checked Verizon's website. The latest firmware there is BPC7, the one you mentioned. That is not the new update that everyone is talking about that has the S3 features. I'm not sure what to suggest, because your phone is possibly caught in this loop from trying to install an update that won't work with it. If someone has the BPC7 update file, it might be possible to flash that. But PLEASE don't take my word for that, as I don't have an iPhone, and I really don't know how that works. Best to wait until an iPhone owner can give you better advice.
Has anyone else noticed the NFC refuses to switch off, since Android 6 already.
Never mind what option in settings related to NFC I tried, always stays a dull / softer blue of other active options like sync or gps ...etc ...
In NFC settings menu, the on off switch is grey and locked to only on, so either my phone hates Tmo firmware or they have a bug they refuse to fix.
I flashed old, new, emergency restored with smart switch, tried G930U Tmobile versions and today just snapped. Talked to Tmobile and they refuse to accept they have firmware issues.
I tried other firmware and the NFC works perfectly in those firmwares.
Last week I got my Note 11 Pro 5G, and FM radio was working out of the box, I tried that out. I updated the phone (OTA) to MIUI 13.0.9.0 (RKCEUXM) and FM radio is not working anymore. I can open the app but the on/off button to activate the radio doesn't work. It says "FM radio turned off". Anyone encountered this, and hopefully has got a solution for this?
When I enter the Hardware Test Menu (by dialing *#*#6484#*#*) I get the static radio noise, so the hardware is working.
Same here on Note 11, worked fine some updates ago and now I cant turn radio on in the app. No error displayed, no reaction to pressing the on/off button. Hardware test of the radio is fine, I can tune into different stations with good quality.
Seems like something on xiaomi side, I've tried clearing cache, didn't help.
