I was looking at a teardown of the droid bionic at ifixit.com (xda wouldnt let me link it) when I noticed that the radio had a fm tuner built in. I've been using hte fm tuner apk to listen to fm.
My question is, is the frequency range physically limited from 87 to 108 MHz? I emailed LSR, the maker of the chip, and they told me that FM module in the chip wasn't supported. Is there a way to see the physical limitations via a command or some other software inquiry? Is there a setting in a database or something? I would like to tune from 85MHz to 121MHz

Subbed. Interesting thought! Hope somebody knows if the range can be programatically altered.

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a htc remote that apparently has a built in fm radio in it, but i dont have any software to tune/use it. is there any sort of FM tuner program available?
thank you
there isn't a FM-radio chip in the kaiser. so the program u need is useless
plz search next time, this has been discussed a million times
does anyone know if there is a program or something which will enable me to record the radio station i am listening to using the touch pro. why didnt htc include this basic function even the cheapest nokia 5000 has this functionality.
my understandingis that hardware prohibits this. However, you can just record the speaker: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=750
try Resco Radio

Resco Radio allows you to record whatever station you have up in their application to the device or storage card.
*Good luck*
thanx man i will give it a try.
does resco radio only tape internet radio. how can you record 'free to air' radio that i tune into on my tp2?
Resco Pocket Radio only does internet stations. Anyone found any decent FM/speaker/headphones recording software?
Just wondering as our phones have a FM receiver.
Wondering if there is a app that receives the signal and converts DAB into audio.
Should be possible i would image as a radio signal is analogue anyway..
Don't want to use streaming radio apps.
As far as i know, DAB means Digital Audio Broadcast - if your device has a digital receiver built in, that would be possible. My HD2 has only an analogue radio receiver. I do not see a way that your request could be fulfilled...
memory serves me correct there is no such thing as a digital broadcast....
All radio waves are analouge?
So if the decoder could be emulated in software?

The analogue FM receiver in your phone can only receive frequencies from 87.5 to 108MHz and cannot even receive the frequencies used in DAB (174-240MHz).
If it was that easy, don't you think someone else would have already done what you suggest?
After all it would be one more advertisable feat of your Handset they would use to make you pay more money for it if they could.
lol forgot about the frequency range..
Cheers for input
Mods could you please close this thread thank you
Actually there is, it is called Wavesink and you can find it in Google store.
Unfortunately it won't work with my car player (It runs Android 2.3.4) Wavesink requiers Android 3 or newer, anyone know of a way to modify the Apk file so that it will work with earlier versions of android?
From what i have read you could modify the AndroidManifest.xml file inside the Apk but i don't have the knowledge to do that,
This programme will work with a dab Usb dongle connected to your phone, tab etc....

Hello everybody!
I want to solve my problem with playing music in a car. I have an Xperia SP and about a year ago, I tested like 10 ROMs in very short period of time and I don't remember names of these ROMs, but I remember that one of these had this really cool app, which would allow me to use my phone as an FM Transmitter. I didn't think it was something special back then, but I could really make use of it now.
I tested it on my radio at home and it really worked. Not many phones have FM transmitter, but some Xperias, as I read now, accidentally have this function. I've tried to google that app, all I found was Spirit FM app which wasn't working for me and I'm sure it's not the app that I'm looking for..
Doesn't anybody have this app, ROM or a tip how I could find it? Any help appreciated
FM Transmitter depends on the ROM support.. AdrianDC has made an add-on for this with CM12.1 but after lollipop, FM Transmitter has been deprecated forever.

Not exactly.
You could use a flashable zip (called addon) which set a value in build.prop which activated the FM transmitter app. It worked not only on L, but also on M. You could also set the value manually. It was something like ro.fm.transmitter = true or similar.
Afaik, this app isn't included anymore in lineage.
But there are two apps which are called Spirit FM, Version 1 and 2. They do exactly what you want.
Version 1 is available for free somewhere on Xda.
Version 2 is a little costly and available on the Playstore.
They worked then, I'm quite sure they still do.
I found this online and can confirm it works with the Verizon variant of the V30. It's version 5.30.11. You must allow installations from non-trusted sources under settings/security to install this app. Enjoy!!
You can download it from android file host HERE.
Does not work with Korean version of the V30.. Says that I must enable FM Radio first, but there's no such option anywhere
Worked for me thx
Theres already a FM radio app stock on the T-Mobile H932 model.
I was able to install the Next Radio app on my Verizon V30, but I haven't tried it out yet.
So does this app just stream radio or is this an actual fm tuner?

This is the stock LG FM Radio app that utilizes the built in FM tuner on these phones. I can pick up all the radio stations around me that i can in my car. It also supports RDS, radio data system, where the app will display the artist and song info. Pretty cool.
Next Radio runs just fine on my V30. Granted, I only tried it with one station, but it's the ONLY station I listen to.
Can confirm that this works on the Sprint V30+ variant as well. It's not showing any RDS info, however.
Too bad we couldn't get the stock sms app to work. Seems everyone is removing it now
Couldn't install "App not installed. Restricted by device administrator"
Verizon LGV30
FM radio app works on my VS996! Thanks!
No display or scrool problems here. Waiting for 200 dollar card and VR set with bundle of free games. Also did registration for extra year of warranty. This thing is a great deal guys!

Well the problem was on my end. After deactivating the LG package disabler I was able to install the FM radio. Reactivated the package disabler after that and everything works.
It came preinstalled on my v3/0+

I think RDS info is radio station dependent. It shows on some radio stations in my area but not others.
Just another silly move by big red. Why they removed the radio app even though they left the FM receiver present was pretty dumb.

I stand corrected - the app *does* display RDS info, I was just not looking in the right place.
Thanks again for this find. :good:
Another confirmation that the app works on the VZW version of the V30... Very nice! Thank you.
Next radio app
I have a Verizon V 30 and downloaded the Next radio app from the play store. It works great but you need the headphones/earbuds plugged in as it serves as your antenna. I tuned in to a station and went out and checked it with my car radio and they both were playing the same song . with this app you can choose to use the tuner or you can stream if your phone doesn't have a fM tuner. My Verizon V 30 worked great with the tuner.
Can confirm it works on Korean v30+
