DO we have an FM radio tuner in our Note 3s? It looks like Sprint does. When I was with Sprint, they always disabled the FM tuner in their phones where other carriers did not. Now it looks like Sprint models have it and ours is disabled. I guess until our bootloader is unlocked we have our hands tied? Any thoughts on this?

But radio apps requires data, FM Tuner does otherwise...
Yeah I love streaming radio. But would be nice to have the radio hardware activated. I really don't understand these carriers. They enable the radio on some phones amd then not on others. Doesn't seem to be any way of predicting what they are going to do. I've never seen a dev be successful an enabling radio hardware that is disabled. Has anyone?

Hi recently, one of my friends bought a S3 LTE and there was no default radio app like in the S3. Was wondering if it is possible to port the app over from S3 to S3 LTE phone?
Use spiritFM instead.

There are bad reviews for every app. I've stopped worrying about them since their are many more that are good. The worst issue is the GT-i9000 speaker risk problem, which is a long story running 14 months now.
Latest free release is here if you want to help test: http://d-h.st/lfR
Anyone tries, please send me a debug log using Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs. After 10-15 seconds press Send.
I thought I read someone with an i9305 used an i9300 ROM and FM worked. May just need an FM kernel driver. (I hope.)
Would they put something out with so many issues from the get go??
I don't understand.. Reports of lte, sensors and rotation being broken ...

LTE is a non-issue as this isn't a device sold with LTE support.
The sensors is from flashing the radio/baseband onto 4.2.1 builds. People will have to deal with it, or flash up to 4.2.2
These are not "problems" from Google as they are people causing it to themselves.

From stock software and hardware left in from a sister device. It is not supported by Google and as such is a non-issue.
For sensors flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?079z7ky9nomb9i8 it fixed it

LTE wasn't approved by the FCC. Therefore, it wasn't mentioned as a feature of the phone.
The reason we could enable LTE was due to an oversight by LG or Google.
This update patches that oversight.
The phone is not suppose to carry LTE in first place. The fact that it works for some people whose carriers are on band 4 is bonus.
And issues, well those come with almost all phones. No point in defending any phone for things like this, but sadly things like this is part of almost any purchase of any thing. Forum like XDA is to get help, so you will get threads here about the problems. You will get far fewer threads which are there to praise the phone on daily basis. If you go to any device section here on XDA, you will get similar threads with issues some of the purchasers face. Those people are here to discuss those. THat sometimes paints the picture that phone is riddled with issues that everyone will face. It is hardly the case.
But if you still want to see enthusiastic threads, go checkout Indian nexus 4 thread That will show you cheerful side of things
Every hardware usually has some weak points, and hardware does break down. With the sheer number of devices sold, there will always be few that break down or are faulty. And you will find large number of those people finding their way here in search of solution. Relax, it is same with almost every phone.

There was a backdoor to get LTE if your provider had LTE on the AWS bands, the N4 was not approved or licensed to be used as an LTE device, it was just a matter of time before Google attempted to disable it. As for the other issues, it's incompatibilities between the new 4.2.2 stuff and 4.2.1 custom ROMs, this is why it's a bad idea to mix and match things like this, they aren't Google issues, all this stuff works just fine on stock 4.2.2 except LTE but that's not supposed to work.
If I understand correctly the radio issues happens only when you flash then on 4.2.1 correct? Then that's your problem, flash the full 4.2.2 and then if it's an issue that's a problem. Anyway I'm on paranoid android 4.2.2 and see no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Oh okay that clears a lot of things up then.
For some reason I thought people were already on 4.2.2 and having the issues didn't know they were still on 4.2.1 trying to flash the radio.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I have a feeling the biggest reason they pushed this 4.2.2 update was to take care of the lte so there wasn't any big lawsuit ...
But then again they really didn't because people can just revert to the baseband before...lol

There is many ways to become less frustrated than creating a new thread.
I have a Tab 7 (gt-p1000r , rogers 3g) that I cannot for the life of find a stock firmware to go back to, so I am wondering if anyone can tell me is there any roms that I can use that won't brick my device? (I am rooted and superuser is on)
I don't even care if I loose 3g functionality, as this is just a luxury, I only use at home
A at&t rom might work. Both are on the gsm network. I think you can rake a at&t phone into canada and it will work. This might work. Just look into it. The model for a at&t is sgh-i987.
Happy hunting.

Thank you kindly, I will look into it, as mentioned I don't even care if I keep the radio portion of it(texting via sim, I have a nexus 4 so I am ok)
The CM 10 version has full functionality, i've heard. CM 11 still has a few bugs, no mobile data. I'm not sure about kang roms, AOKP, they are similar to CM.

For some reason I'm not receiving calls. If I reboot my phone it'll work fine, but I don't know for how long unless someone leaves a vm. I have no idea what's causing it, nothing has really changed but I also don't know how long I've been having the problem. I'm running pure nexus rom and Franco kernel if it makes any difference. Any ideas?

What carrier and is this while you're on WiFi?
AT&T and I'm not sure.. I know that it's happened when I've been on wifi, however I can't say it's always the case since I don't necessarily know I missed a call.

On Verizon I only saw this on the 5.0-5.1 builds using VOLTE. Turned off VOLTE and all was good. Not seeing it now on 5.1.1 stock. If running ASOP no telling.
I had the same issue with a G3, but can't remember anything about it or how I fixed it.

I found that the modem/radio I'm using is for t-mobile and wifi calling, so that could be the issue. It's questionable though since it does work, just not always. You'd think if I had the wrong modem it just wouldn't work.

When running a rom these type problems should be posted in the rom thread. Once move from stock we have no option but to have you return to stock to troubleshoot. Once the base system is modified we have no way to troubleshoot it. I run stock rooted with kernel. If something broke it Google or the kernel. You have rom that could be many things. Bad flash, Dirty flash. ect.

Actually, that's to be expected. Every build will work with every carrier, just certain features won't work. Updates are based on your sim.

I tried a stock rom for testing and it seemed to work, but since I don't always know when I miss a call it's incredibly hard to narrow down. It works every time I call it, so it seems completely random that it doesn't work.

Yes it should work. The differences in the builds are in the telephony and ril builds of the software.
Seems like we ought to be able to use this. The phone is capable , right? Or am I wrong in what I read?

Personally I don't know about Verizon, but I know that it seems to be completely disabled with Sprint.
So my guess is that it is pretty much disabled with most of the carriers, because the Nexus 6 is not really a Carrier Phone.
Again, just my theory.
no, there isnt a capability for it. there should be, but it wasnt.

Just over a year ago, @danarama asked Motorola about the FM Radio. The response they provided in his post sums it up succinctly. There is no FM radio hardware on the Nexus 6, thus no FM radio to activate.

Good info.
So it's not possible. Your closest bet is the app "iHeartRadio" but obviously that eats your data
