HI,
Does anyone know if the Samsung S5 mini (SM-G800F) has FM Radio capability?
There is no app in my phone. I just want to know if there is the FM Radio chip hardawre on my phone, and can it be activated?
I find it ridiculous that my OLD S3 mini had the FM Radio app, but not the S5 Mini.
I rather not Root my phone if I dont have to.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
No FM offline radio available in the Samsung S5 mini
Samsung S5 Mini has the Broadcom 4334 radio chip built inside which has, in principle, FM radio capability, but the FM section of the chip is disabled in hardware and not connected. The android stock kernel has no FM driver capabilities. Installing an FM radio offline application (for example nextradio, spirit FM) is possible, but will not work for that reasons. It is however possible to install a streaming FM app, which makes sense when a WIFI network is available.
That's bull**** from Samsung

Has anyone looked into this whole thing about there being FM Transmitter/Receivers being built into most Android phones(including ours)?
I was reading this article ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092719 and I was curious. I wonder if I could use this to broadcast my music from my phone to my FM radio in my old car...
Any thoughts? (and yes I did search)
The vibrant doesn't have a functioning receiving FM module, let alone a transmitting FM module. Our hardware is missing a few key components to have a working FM tuner.

Ok. So what prompted this question was my coworker has an Epic and has a FM Radio hack on hisphone. Thought the phones were similar enough but then the Epic is the oddball out of the Galaxies.
Thanks for the answer

Hello,
Is it possible to use the built-in Radio Receiver as an FM Transmitter in the Xiaomi MI2S?
A couple review/compare sites state that the Mi2S has this feature.

The Nokia N8 has this feature built-in and i woud love to see it in my Android device.

Anyone know how to use the FM Reciever. (AT&T)
I have a Pumpkin 13-RQ0278E Android-based touchscreen car stereo.
Sometimes, I do not have a data connection so need to drop back to FM radio.
The built-in FM radio app is a bit poo.
What do people usually use?
My device is not supported by NextRadio and Spirit FM is £5.64, so I don't want to spend that kind of money if it's not very good.
