I didn't see this anywhere so I wanted to make sure it was posted. The Z3v does indeed have FM radio capability and works with the (paid) Spirit FM radio app (requires root). Sorry if I missed the post where this information was already listed. For some reason the Next FM radio app does not work with it.
If you can get to the phone diag/test you can test the fm radio without root. Ive done it before but I cant change the station.
I have D6603 and it came with an FM radio app installed. Works great with my MDR-NC31 headphones

There's a difference between your D6603 and the D6708 that we have: we're under lock from Verizon. They don't allow FM radio for some reason.

hate verizon. Thought the FCC said all phones that have FM should have it enabled for emergency reasons?

Hi,
Is there any way on earth I can get an FM Radio on my X10i? (2.1, Rooted)
I know there are several internet-radio apps available, but I want to listen to my local content and not to get connected to the net.
AFAIK, Andriod 2.1 phones support FM radio, there are several phones like the Motorola XT3 and XT5 with builtin FM. Any FM-ports available for the X10? Please help!
You need to buy the mw600 head set with built in radio.. there is no FM receiver on the x10.

Think it's called that anyway.

I m sure the X10 radio is capable of receiving FM as well. Anyone got a port of the FM radio app from motorola or HTC to try out?

It doesn't have the hardware.
Picked up my Rezound yesterday, liking it so far. Most of the reviews mentioned a FM radio and I can't for the life of me figure out how to access it. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not finding it either.... I only found slacker preinstalled.
This has saddened me because I was using my girlfriends Droid inc2 and I loved the fm radio.
Woah I was expecting more a "sent from HTC vigor" or something not that at the bottom.

Appears to get stuck on "FM Radio is being launched, please wait..."
I just installed it on mine and it works for me
Sent from my HTC Rezound using XDA App
Update: I installed the app but when I plugged in my headphones it never launched due to the Rezound missing an FM Chip.
Guess we have to cross our fingers that HTC releases an update with FM app since the other ones can't find the chip.
Does it even have an FM radio?
Is there actually an FM tuner in the Rezound to utilize an FM radio? Or did HTC skip out on that?
You'd certainly think they'd advertise it if they had an FM tuner in the Rezound. I mean, they are marketing it as a smartphone for music lovers, are they not?
I doubt there is one in it. Technically there was one in my CDMA desire, but it wasn't wired up all the way so you couldn't get a signal.
Now that we have an unlock and perm-root, is there any way to officially validate this one way or the other? Just gave my GF my TBolt so I could get a Rezound, and missing the FM Radio from the TBolt a little bit (yea obviously I can buy a $5 one from Wally-World, just nice to have it all in one place )
Anything wrong with using the app TuneIn Radio?

It requires data (not an issue in itself, but when no wifi, that can kill the battery)...additionally, for when I'm at the gym and they have tvs with short-range FM transmitters. I've also found it handy when snowboarding when I don't have consistent data everywhere on the mountain. So yeah, a couple reasons Again, I know a lot of this can be resolved with a dedicated FM player/MP3 player, but it's nice to have options, especially when consolidated.
I had a fm radio in my Inc.,you had to use headphones as a antenna, would be nice to get it back on my Rezound

Thanks, I think I saw that thread as well- hoping to keep this alive now that we are unlocked to see if anything more can be discovered. I know prior to unlocking there were obviously a lot more limits to what we could do/check.
From tbe Rezound specs at pdadb.. The line down where it says multimedia.. I copied the line Multimedia Telecommunication
Analog+Radio-Receiver: FM radio (76-90MHz) with RDS
There is a tuner chip in there but it appears it's of the European /Asian FM band.
bump.
Anyone find out anything new about the FM tuner?
Does anyone have a copy of the FM radio apk on the Galaxy SII? I had it on an old ROM but its not on LilRom. Thanks

If you use headphones, it will work. There is a radio in headphones with microphone. (Mainly iPhone)

We don't need one in the phone since the head phones have the radio built in.
We need a good kernel dev. I thought that the actual hardware is there, and it just needs to be implemented with software drivers.
Perhaps im missing something...but the stock earphones have fm radio?

Wrong again.
To use headphones as an antenna for fm radio, you need a special kind of pin connection inside the device that is a part of the headphone jack port, and a chip onboard to decode the signal. The headphones merely act as the antenna, they don't include any parts for actually receiving and decoding every radio signals.
At least, that's how I understood it, after researching whether my old iPhone 3G our my gf's captivate possibly had untapped fm radios (neither do) :/
Edit: I never stated that our phone has none of those special hardware parts that allow you to use headphones as an antenna. If anyone knows and can prove me wrong, please feel free to correct me.
Oh good Lord, people just dont want to read today. Well maybe they like bullet points instead, so lets recap:
No FM App
No FM receiver
No FM Antenna

Hi All,

Have you tried refreshing the stations?

So, here's my dilemma. Using internet radio doesn't work at my gym. The TVs that play use a local FM transmitter that can only be picked up the ol' fashion way in close proximity. I used FM radio a lot on my M8 for this reason. Thoughts?
I don't think it works on the vzw model, Based on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788364
Yea. There certainly Was. "Was" being the keywors. It was there until Verizon took it away, among many other things
Do we know if they removed the hardware, or just disabled it via software? I miss this feature. My old Droid X made my mp3 player obsolete. Every phone since has required me to have my mp3 player or miss out. I think it's Verizon trying to get us to use data from Internet radio.

I believe the Korean model had a built in antenna that could be extended out the top of the phone. I say its hardware and software problem on ours?

Verizon was the only one to take the fm radio antenna out of the m7 so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happend here

Yeah I believe you are right, I remember now. I guess it could be possible to be dual purpose antenna but I'm sure that would have been discussed in early release reviews of the Korean model.

Usually the headphones cord is used for the FM antenna on phones that have FM tuners.

On the M8 the hardware was still there. Once I found the apk it worked just fine.
I wonder if the TV and the radio shared the same hardware and was not added as a result.
