can the fm radio firmware be made to work on the nexus

Wondering if this is possible I would like to have mine running a FM radio for work

This has been asked a few times already and the answer is not yet. Untill google gives us a radio that supports the fm transceiver there's no way we can get to it. Maybe when the desire is finally out we can get it from it.

Why no FM Radio?

Has anyone contacted LG about the FM radio? Why wasn't it in the update? Are they just not going to turn it on for us? Don't understand that at all. Why build a phone and then limit what it can do? I'm thinking that we might get ICS update with it enabled? That is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense.

Firstly, it's LG we're talking about.
Second, if I'm wrong, then I must be on crack, but I don't think they ever advertised it to use FM Radio.
Plus, you have to use the Bluetooth for FM Radio, which in turn, isn't adequate for a FM receiver. Plus, think about it. If they DID add it, how many users would be complaining that they have to use bluetooth for radio?
Ice Cream Sandwich? Yeah. I wish. LG will be making CRAPPY versions of ICS and they'll be encrypting their files.
I'm not going to lie. I ONLY got the phone for the 3D. That's about it.
My only suggestion is to be like straying sheep and wander away from LG.

You dont have to use the bluetooth on GB. It has an FM reciever in it, its just not turned on? I got the phone for a penny thats why I have it. I knew I wouldent use the 3d. Im not a gamer; It is cool for about an hr. then I need my phone to do real work. I am pleased though, very nice phone for a penny. If I was gona drop some cash i'd get the note.

The FM radio doesn't operate over Bluetooth. It just shares a radio with bluetooth. This is why you need to turn bluetooth on, it activates the fm radio reciever. This is confirmed by the fact that the headset doubles as the FM antenna.
We already know the phone is capable. Its just a matter of making it work.

Then I must have been on crack.
I must be muddling up my phones. -.-

So we all know it has an FM receiver. I'm just pissed because lg did not enable it. I guess it could of had bugs so they just decided to scrap it. I love my Google play music, but like to hear the local radio to. Not a big deal, but if your like me, then you want your phone to do all it can even if you don't use it for such.

i just tested CM7 a few days ago... they have FM Radio on the rom and it works... y Lestat doesnt??

not LG's fault, but ATT
1. the phone does have an FM receiver.
2. the FM radio IS enabled, you only need to install the LG FM radio program to use it.
3. In ATT version of the software, they (ATT) stripped the FM receiver software away, not LG.
4. the LG FM radio package from the Optimus3D works perfectly in the Thrill, since it's exactly the same hardware, but you need to install 2 other applications (the fm radio provider and the fm service)
5. if you're using a froyo based rom, you will have to start bluetooth for the fm radio to work.
6. if you're using a GB based rom, you don't have to start bluetooth for the fm radio to work.
7. Attached the 3 apks that you need to install. After installing them, pls reboot before using them.

We all have the same apk's I didnt get them to work on v20p. (should of included that.) It works on most custom roms with old basebands. I will try your files. Mine might be wrong.

It just force closes on v20p.

Definitely blame AT&T for that.
They changed kernel settings.

I emailed lg 3 days ago. I have yet to hear back. Ill email att tonight. I told them it maks them look bad when you guys can get this to work b4 them. No names of corse.

Fm works for me I am using AcidHazard ROM 3.5 with stock 20P ATT kernel

you're right
I have used so many firmwares that I didn't remember which one I was using.
fm radio apk works fine in 21d (european) and 20a (brazil).
Besides that, both don't have all the att bloatware, so the phone works better and drains a lot less battery.
I didn't have problems with my country's 3G bands (we use 850 and 2100 here, and both seemed to work fine in those firmwares, although I didn't find documentation about that)
If I had to choose, the brazilian 20a seemed smoother, and with overall better reception.

I followed all steps and installed the 3 apk's.

It is LG G2. D800. And 4.4.2. D80020c, rooted.
Any ideas ?

[Q] [Q&A] [ROM] [KK4.4.4] [Dirty Unicorns] Xperia Z1

I'm currently in search of a ROM with most of functionality Sony claimed to be. So far i've discovered, that Wireless Mirroring works well on CM-based ROM (ParanoidAndroid, for sure) and do not work on stock-based. But i'm happy to be wrong. So, here's my question: does work Wireless Mirroring in this ROM and AR-Effects by Sony ?

I can confirm once you're rooted wireless mirroring doesn't work on stock roms (I can't talk about ore rooting, since I never got to try before I rooted) I'm not entirely sure if it's fully functional on AOSP ROMs, but give it a try, no harm in trying

If it was so simple... WifiMirroring stops working after one of OTA official updates.After that, app demands some sort of HDCP, which most of TV's do not provide, without option to turn HDCP off. "Most of TV's" - because on one os Samsung's TVs i've got mirroring running, and that was on rooted official ROM. On AOSP ROM this function surely runs well on ParanoidAndroid CM11, but i presume success is in fact, that AOSP ROMs use self-made Wireless Mirroring. And in the same time function don't work on modified KK rom with HDCP=OFF setting. That's unAlgebraic, if you ask me.

I've tried multiple times on smart TVs with a rooted ROM and have ALWAYS got a HDCP error. Samsung and Sony TVs. However, the store representative used his Note 3 to mirror and it worked instantly. Till date, I haven't been able to get screen mirroring to work on my phone. Haven't tried AOSP though.
I also haven't found a way to bypass HDCP (turn it off) Maybe it works on AOSP because they don't use HDCP as you said, or we have broken HDCP certificates on modified stock ROMs, I'm not entirely sure which.
Many people across many devices have had issues with HDCP on rooted devices. There was a a workaround, but it involves manual modification of files, and I'm not really one to try mass code changing. A quick Google shows many people reporting loss of mirroring with the same error, on rooted devices.
The explanation as to why it's happening, could be any of the things above. I think the workaround is disabling the HDCP check. So that may be the fix.

As i wrote before, i've got Mirroring running on official rooted ROM with Samsung TV, so far only one model, but still- it shows that root is not an issue. But support of many TV's void after OTA update for sure.

Which ota are you talking about?

OTA- OverTheAir - is update system, which updates firmware and even kernel in some cases, via WiFi or mobile internet, without use of PC. In my case, i'm talking about official ota update, after which WifiMirroring stops working.

I know what OTA is, mate, I meant, the update to which firmware version?

I don't know. All that I remember, it's that I was on 4.3, and that bug is applied on multiple devices, not only for Z1

HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) Latest OS Update

My HTC Desire 10i (Pro Dual Sim) factory unlocked device just now received a 192mb size incremental update. The update took a good 20 minutes to complete. No cosmetic changes found. Mine is a factory unlocked device which might be meant for Taiwan/Myanmar markets but I am using it here in Canada Fido network with no issues except for weak signal occasionally.
Details:
Android version: 6.0.
Software Number: 2.22.709.2
Android Security Patch Level: March 1, 2018
Did anyone else receive this or similar update? Also an unrelated question. I see that my device doesn't have HTC Music or HTC Gallery. Instead, it comes with Google Photos and Google Music. Is there a way to get access to HTC's own music and gallery applications that can be fully functional in this device? I don't want to either unlock bootloader or root device. Any valuable inputs are welcome.

Yes I did receive the update (update citing improvements on a Chinese carrier LTE service) after manually checking for it.
HTC are using Google apps now because they want to at least make Sense Home more streamlined with a more stock Android feel (plus I imagine that they want to cut down on the hassle of maintaining their propriety apps)
So you either use the stock Google apps or download third-party apps for what you are looking for.

How is your phone behaving on the Bluetooth front after this update? Bluetooth was never solid in this phone but I find it has gotten worse after this update. It loses Bluetooth connections very frequently; like every five minutes. Any idea?

prmbasheer,
Bluetooth is fine for me, granted I have used it with something that requires a prolonged connection, but I will test it out with my Bluetooth headset just to be sure, I only transfer small files with Bluetooth but I have switched to transfer via wireless which is much faster of course, I will test it out during the weekend and I will let you know if I have the same issue or not.
Cheers

Hey there, I tested my Bluetooth headset (skull candy sb2) for more than 12 hours and I am to report that I did not experience any connection interruptions.
Perhaps the radio on your phone needs to be checked, but can I be frank, this phone is ok, not great by all means, they [htc] obviously have no plans for future OS updates, my advice to you is sell this phone and get a new one, I'll probably do the same down the road, that's just my opinion.
Cheers.

This device is widely reported for Bluetooth issues. I am glad your device has no such issues. I am using a smartwatch and the same earphones you tried. So, it is basically two devices I need to be connected to this phone but it fails terribly. Every 5 - 10 minutes one of the devices keep disconnecting and reconnecting. So, now I have started using my other phone (LG G6) and this is stored for later use or as you suggested, a sale.

FM radio not working

Hey guys. So I have the Australian LGV40 lmv405ebw model. Doesn't come with the FM radio pre installed so I installed the stock FM radio and next radio but it's not working whatsoever. Gsm arena said it's FM compatible but it's not working. Is there any way to enable the hardware so I can utilise it cause this was one of the reasons I purchased it?
Disappointing cause I do travel occasionally to remote areas with no coverage and it's so handy.

Typically, headphones must be plugged in so that the natural antenna action of the headphone wire can be used for reception

Tried that, to no avail. I'm aware of that. Used next radio and stock FM radio which I downloaded manually.

Atleast the European V405EBW has the FM module disabled (for whatever reason), so i guess its the same for the australian :/
Some US models have it enabled though. You can typically check from your bootloader kernel commandline ( /proc/cmdline , needs root to read) if its supported in HW or not.

Yeah I think it's exactly the same as the European models. I've heard the US models have it enabled. Is there a possibility to enable it myself?

Its disabled in hardware... except you find out where to solder what exactly, i dont think theres a possibility (bootloader reports that fm isnt supported on the v405ebw, theres a kernel commandline appended for that)
I tried to use it in Lineage, didnt work (had FM stuff added in LOS16, then fm stuff broke in 17, didnt readd it yet), but worked on the US models
So i guess you would need todo some serious soldering or change the motherboard ?
