FM Radio in the P30 Pro? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Folks, does the P30 Pro have a built in FM radio? My Lite version for my wife has it (NextRadio says it does but locks up endlessly) and I'd like the Pro version when my Mate 9 expires and have a radio as well.
Can't find a P30 Lite forum here by the way. Maybe it's too generic or underpowered.

P30 pro doesn t have fm radio build in and that sucks. That's why I always have an old LG device with me, just for the fm radio.

Oh well, I will stick with my wife's phone then

The NextRadio app (reccomended by so many people) definately said it found one in my wife's lite version but can't get that app to work with it.
That's why I was hoping the Pro would have an official one.
Oh well.
Tried to install her old Ascend Mate 7's radio app on her new phone but it would'nt install. Damn!

Try "fm radio-7" app

Did you try the right app???? This is part of the description:
"Real FM radio application to receive and listen radio stations. This is not internet radio."
As I said I couldn' t try this because it said unsupported device on my p30 pro.
Fm radio-7(early access) from style 7

This application for Android 2.3 - 4.4 only (not sure for Android 5).
Please do not install if your device have Android 6, 7, 8 or 9.

I did try it even though the developer said not to. "This application is not supported by your device"

Looks like her model doesn't even have an NFC chip.
No NFC in some models? Who does that in this day and age. I feel well and truly screwed. Can't even exchange for one that does, none of the shops near me even understand the problem.

FM Radios are dead because digital took over, not many phones with FM radios still working in them, my S9 didn't nor did my S7, and not even sure my S5 did
NFC should be there though

No nfc in MAR-LX2

I wish it were. I could not see the model number on the box when I bought it and didn't know some models of the Lite had NFC and some didn't until I downloaded the manual. The shop certainly didn't!
The MAR-LX1A and MAR-LX1M have NFC but MAR-LX2 (Which is my wife's) does not. Thats' what the manual states and I certainly cannot find any NFC function on this phone as it is said in the manual. Well and truly screwed.
As with the FM radio test that I did with NextRadio, I bet the NFC chip is present but not enabled and I'd be happy to find a ROM/Hack to enable both properly.

Transmitter or An automatic weighter for Diamond?

Hey mates, really appreciate that forum. It's very useful. I have an idea... Is it possible to use our Diamond like a transmitter for iPod? Or is there any program that we can use to check the weight of something?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes.
JS.
Transmitter, how would that be possible without any built in FM transmitter? If that´s what you thought?
How do you want to weight anything with the Dimamond? That´s not possible!
Well there is FM Radio and i thought that it is possible to be done something like this. Well it's just an idea...If someone can realize it it will be very nice I think...
*ironic on*and if the camera-diod would be usable as a flashlight this will be also very nice*ironic off*
It's just not working, the FM Radio is a reciver no transmitter and won't be turned into one by software
(Well: HTC implemented a Multitouch surface and didn't really used it, maybe they also implemented a FM transmiter and don't told us
In this case it would be possible^^)
This is almost a good as the post about a program to charge the battery

I don't want to be bad, but I have a KS20, and the camera LED flash CAN be used as a flashlight (volume down with phone on standby).
Quite a useful feature, also.
I'm changing for a Touch Pro, which doesn't have that!
FM transmitters are technicaly illegal in many european countries, but that is irrelevant since it doesnt have one, and what exactly was you thinking the phone can do to weigh something?

Maybe if someone wrote a little app to monitor the accelerometer as the object was dropped on it... I'm not going to volunteer for that one, though...
Clint
If the display can measure pressure-strength it should be possible to a small degree.
Well I just like the idea, I know that's not possible, but I'm trying to think for useful things without realization.
Hmm, whos going to volunteer their diamond for the max load test on that one then?
Hey guys,
I have attached the FM transmitter CAB, it is the version used on Eten Pocket PC Phones.
I tested it on my phone - it runs but messes up all other sounds such as ring tones and musics etc.
It doesn't do anything probably because the device lacks some transmitter hardware?
It is russian a version but that doesn't matter - you need to install both files to be able to run it.
Wish someone could make it work!!!

*SOLVED* [Q] FM radio?

The official HTC specs page doesn't list FM radio, but then it doesn't list it as a feature for other phones which have FM radio and the HTC FM radio app either.
Does anyone have a screenshot of the HTC system apps for the HTC One showing an FM radio app?
I know all about internet radio... just interested here if FM radio is built in or not, thanks.

Sony and HTC tend to make FM Radio a regular app on all their phone while samsung on the other hand tend to make it only available on their flagship phones.

Almost all. There's a few that don't (in hardware), like these:
- HTC Droid DNA.
- HTC Desire CDMA / BravoC
- HTC Rezound ADR6425LVW Verizon (Vigor)
- HTC Rhyme ADR6330VW Verizon "blissc" shows negative to 0 RSSI.
- HTC Magic (Sapphire), T-Mobile myTouch 3G, NTT docomo HT-03A
- HTC Dream, T-Mobile G1, Era G1.
Then there are some US carrier variants that don't officially support it but that apps can enable, such as the AT&T OneX(L) LTE.
Sprint supposedly has a deal with the US FM broadcasters to get $10 grand ransom per year out of each of them. See my post here for some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36567961&postcount=5154
Other carriers might also enable if they get paid off, or may keep disabled as long as negotiations aren't fruitful.

The app us there for international versions. But disabled for the us versions most likely. Hardware should be the same so a custom ROM will probably get it to work

When you say played with one, have you checked the actual usability through headphones? Decent reception, for instance.
EDIT: Wait a minute. Nobody has this phone yet, right ? When somebody gets one, please send me a debug log. Or if you see the chips identified in an article somewhere, please post. A ROM dump would also help answer some questions.
If somebody with a (preferably rooted) HTC One would send me a debug log from my FM app, I could tell you more about the FM chip, and the prospects for enabling FM on stock ROMs with no FM app or custom ROMs.
Free version of my app is here: http://d-h.st/9Ck . Use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds.
My hope is that the One uses the standard Qualcomm reference design with a WCD93xx audio chip and WCN36xx FM/Bt/WiFi/etc combination chip. This is a very nice, pretty much fully digital combination with a lot of power and capabilities, that will likely take some time to fully appreciate and enable. IE, it's IMO the architecture of "tomorrow"/2013-2014. It will be very interesting to see if the Galaxy S4 uses this architecture, for the US, rest of the world, or world-wide.
And ideally, stock ROMs with no FM app will contain the Qualcomm FM framework files needed to enable FM without root.
I had a quick look at the Android_Revolution_HD-One_2.0 ROM and see FM_Radio.apk and the widget and support files etc.
I tried running the APK on my OneX LTE with the latest AT&T JB and it crashed due to some missing widget code.
I'm not entirely positive, but it appears the audio is Qualcomm WCD93xx and the Bluetooth is Broadcom BCM4335.
I'm guessing the Broadcom chip is the source of the FM, and not a Qualcomm WCN36xx BT/WiFi/FM chip.
Yes, the ATT version has the FM radio. In fact, the only reason I got this phone was so I would never be without in
Severe storms. I then installed a custom rom just in case art force pushed an update an brick my device. Only problem
I've run into is some market apps are incompatible with my device now. I'd file a bug report with Viperxl
But I'm not allowed. Just hope the update fixes it.

HTC One M8 can do FM radio
I am using the HTC One M8 by Verizon. FM Radio was not installed.
On another site I discovered that other carriers use the NextRadio app. At first, the NextRadio app wouldn't Install because it is not allowed on my Verizon phone.
So, I found the APK on internet.
From the website I downloaded the file to my Verizon HTC M8. Using a file manager, I located the file on phone, tapped it, and it installed with no problem
I am listening to the FM radio as I type this.
Attached copy of the file.

Are you sure you're not confusing this for an Internet Radio stream? Cause the GT-P1000 NEVER had FM Radio as part of its Spec.
As such it can never receive such Signals.
The GT-P1000 model doesn't have fm radio, I think the radio you have It's a Insternet Radio, try downloading Tune In Radio from the Google Play Store!!!

seems like we are all wrong.
The BCM4329 chip has a FM receiver.
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329
But there isn't a firmware for it in Samsung devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837691
unless the OP's original firmware really has it.
One in the above thread said a shop demo firmware has FM Radio app in it.
Well its not like I was expecting any miracles to happen, but I did discover something relevant IMHO.
I was planing on switching from the standard XXJPZ Baseband (modem.bin) to VJJR2 (modem.bin), as I hear tale that its:
a) More Battery friendlier then XXJPZ
b) Faster more stable then XXJPZ
Now I don't know if any of that will actually pan out though. Early tests have proven to me that I still have both Data and Voice with this modem.bin. On the plus side the Voice Volume is now fixed at a 100% Hopefully that alone will fix the pitifully low volume in my Navigon App,
Now to the relevant part of this Post. Again I wasn't expecting much to happen. But, I decided to download SpritFM anyway, and of course it crashed pretty hard on XXJPZ. Basically it gave me the standard "No FM found" Error in that cryptic way only SpritFM can do so well.
Now that I updated that modem.bin File however I'm no longer receiving those Messages. The App (on the face of it...), seems to be working now. The problem is I'm still not getting anything.
Most likely an Antenna Problem me thinks. Shame I know jack all when it gets down to the Silicon Level. Cause I think this might just have worked otherwise.

LOL.
Firmware is very rarely an obstacle to real over the air FM radio.
99.9% of the time, the problem is that the FM/BT/WiFi combo chip FM antenna pins are not connected anywhere useful, which is usually through a few cheap components to the wired headset jack.
Usually the FM antenna pins are grounded, quite purposely, which absolutely and completely kills any chance of picking up any signal.

That is not entirely correct. The factory sysimage does not expose access to fm radio, but the hardware does have it, and it should be possible to enable. May require kernel modification.
Note that motoxpro (chinese market, exactly the same hardware just not "nexus") does expose fmradio.

No additional support is needed to be added to AOSP to allow 3rd party FM apps to work on a phone with the dedicated hardware. 3rd party FM apps do not work because like the nexus 5 and 4, Google did not request FM radio support. We just happen to have a SoC that can support FM but none of the other required hardware.
Moto x pro is not identical
Might explain it.

That is absurd. It needs to be enabled at the kernel level, and probably also device configuration (overlays) level. You can't just use hardware when the kernel says "no", no matter what userland applications you install.

The fact is, that FM radio does not work as is. Yes? I am stating that fact. You are making the claim that it can be enabled by modifying the software. I ask that you provide proof of that claim. Proof on the Nexus 6, not the Nexus one, which you provided an article for in the other thread. This is not the same phone as the Nexus one, obviously. The fact that I'm devoting time to search for FACTS to prove your claims, is baffling to me, as this issue is of no interest to me. I have Google play all access for my music needs. Yet I continue to search. Yes the 805 has native support for FM but without hardware to go with it, it's useless. Answer me this, if you will, why then does the nexus 6 wiki page say no support, along with other reputable android publications who echo the lack of internal hardware support? Again, I welcome evidence that shows otherwise. Until then, I'm done here.
If anyone is interested, this is what Motorola said.
our engineers decided not to include any radio component in the chipset due to this design is not possible to use the FM radio on the phone

This phone is from a Chinese company, no carrier endorsed, I seriously doubt that they would intensionally stop us from getting fm radio they get nothing out of doing that only carriers that want to charge you for data, but I am definitely positive that this company would leave some hardware out to save a few pennies.
To me I would think having the fm radio as an option would be a good selling option, but what can I tell you, those companies are funny that way.
