The Snapdragon chip has FM in it.
But the Liquid doesn't have FM, dunno if it's disabled or took out (hardware)
So what I read is not a fantasy, I hope someone develops a utility that allows us to use it!
I think its the bluetooth chip that have FM receiver, not the CPU.
Check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608340
If Bluetooth chip is same then Liquid should have radio and since F1 has radio and F1 and Liquid hardware are pretty much the same, I think there is big possibility Liquid to have radio, which is disabled.
Also I have seen in a dump from HTC Espresso a radio application.
Look at this:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4325
I wonder then why FM radio is disabled and the bluetooth is 2.0 instead of 2.1??

bluetooth might be because android just started supporting bt 2.1 in eclair (who knows if updating the radio will make it work in 2.1 instead of 2.0)... fm radio who knows...

It occurs to me that we are experiencing growth Andorid day to day, who knows if in a not too distant future we will also see an application that runs the FM receiver
Exactly, giving the limited resources Acer has to making Android phones (probably just ramping up), they decided to skip on developing software drivers for the FM radio since they figured most people will use 3G streaming. but I like FM radio since it uses way less power and for those who don't have a data plan to burn through. Hopefully someone is able to write software drivers for the FM radio.
Some notes on this subject:
1.Acer has little to nothing to do to get the FM working, it's broadcom who makes the bluetooth (and thus FM) driver. What Acer has to do is only a GUI, which isn't hard to do
2.Nexus One has the same chip (ok, not the same, but they share the same driver), and doesn't have FM enabled either, that makes me think their might be some problem somewhere. (but the previous posts stating that using FM on a recent smartphone is unusual seems like a good guess.)
3.I've seen linux FM drivers for BCM4325, in Samsung Galaxy ROM (It's the btld daemon)
The thing is that this driver is fully closed source and doesn't use the bluez stack (linux bluetooth stuff), that's perhaps the reason why Acer and Google decided not to use it.
Anyway these chips are used by N1, Samsung Galaxy (I7500), iPhone 3GS, HTC HD2, HTC Touch Pro2, well, all brand new shiny phones, so it's likely someone of these developers will get something at some point
Does have milestone same chip?

an fm radio would rock my world...any news
do you say FM radio!!!!!
If yes, is it possible somehow to enable it....because I realize games,mp3 and chatting doesn't mean entertainment for me on the road.....
I've heard bradcomm released data sheets for their liquid bluetooth chip...
any news on this topic, or fm is just too simple ?
and what about terrestrial digital radio (sorry, french..) ?
can it be supported or received at all by our phones ?
may be it need new hardware ?
well, i'm glad to wake up this thread, as i've got some good news
i'm not able to use it myself, so i'll wait for others or the release of the thing in question.
No more waiting, here it is : fm is coming to our liquids

He mean FM radio transmitter, not receiver. Which you can transmit your music being played trough FM radio transmitter and received by any other device with FM radio receiver (usually using FM radio in the car).
actually fm transmitter & receiver are on same chip nothing work as a single component..
the thing is that we don't have fm transmission app.
i would search for a third party one & let you guys know if a found one..

Its not possible by an app. Coz. Its not coded into android system libraries & not possible to design a specific for different model as they have different antennas of soc chip

Are you sure that we have FM transceiver in our device? And in the same chip? It's great if we have it, since their technology is quite big different, but very possible to integrated in one chip.
I interested, may be you already knew what chip is it (chip type)? Maybe I can use it in my hardware project. Thanks.
My Spirit FM app is reported to be at least partly working on X6 u9000 now
See this for some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19588094&postcount=1648
Latest test package is here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5381ub38p0a1uym/Spirit_FM_Radio_v111122.apk .
I don't think I can even get one of these phones here in Canada. Maybe I
should ask Huawei to send me one...
--------------
I think the FM is in the main Qualcomm SOC (chip). It's almost impossible to find any information on this chip, except for the code in the Qualcomm Code Aurora FM app.
That code DOES support transmit, but I have no idea if the X6 hardware can also handle transmit.
Among the many, many hundreds (or thousands?) of Android phones out there, only a few support FM transmit in the hardware. AFAIK this is only a few made by Sharp for Japan domestic use.
So I'm EXTREMELY pessimistic that this phone could support FM transmit. I think it makes FCC etc certification more expensive and it takes longer. But who knows...
AFAICT only this phone and the X5 use this Qualcomm Tavarua FM.

Hi guys,
I’m from Turkey, I'm new user on this forum and I'm so sorry for quite poor English. I bought a L90 (D405-TR). But there isn’t FM Radio app in applications menu.
I read some Turkish forums (for LG G2) installing the ROM of different countries or by rooting to activate FM Radio.
1) I rooted the device. My /cust/OPEN_AME/TR/config/custom_apk_list.cfg contents as follows:
-/system/app/LGFmRadio.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've made this change in content is as follows, and I restart the phone:
+/system/app/LGFmRadio.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I saw FM Radio app in the phone's application menu. I plugged a headset, and opening FM Radio app on app menu. But menus and buttons are passive. So that I could not listen fm radio
2) I flashed England and Italy's ROMs, I saw FM Radio app in the phone's application menu. Again I plugged a headset, and opening FM Radio app on app menu. But menus and buttons are passive. So that I could not listen fm radio
3) Both the phone is rooted, and while both been installed in a different country (which again was the root case)… I was installed Spirit FM Radio, Connected Music Player, etc. I did not listen to the radio.
Q1: Is there Fm radio receiver / hardware on my device? How can I check/detect whether there is?
Q2: Let's assume that there is an FM radio receiver. Both of these methods are not listened to the radio?
Q3: Fm Radio hardware which prevents other transactions have to do?

According to the research I've done, this morning in fact, there is a builtin FM radio receiver in some D405 and D410 models. However I cannot be more specific than that. I do know that the D415 does NOT have a builtin FM receiver.

Thanks @PBakker for reply. I've already flashed a ROM belonging to the Italian model (d405n). But still, I could not listen to the radio. When I flashed any ROM, Does changing the kernel? (I think the problem is caused by radio to the kernel prevent, If there is fm radio hardware on my phone. However, my device, I don't know whether it is fm radio hw.).
As far as i know by most rom packages you need to update or change the kernel seperately. So kernel not affected by installing rom

I have the same problem. I just bought the phone yesterday, (L90 D405-TR) and this evening i realized there's no radio app in the app drawer.
Is it possible to use it's radio receiver using an app from google play ? Or do those require mobile data ?
I guess we need to find out first and foremost whether our model (L90 D405-TR) has a radio receiver after all...

I haven't, not even once and I got the phone for more than a year but I understand that some people would like to see that feature.
For what is worth if you still need to find the answer.
Open the Google music play app and if your phone has an FM radio tuner you will see the following options:
Listen Now
My Library
Playlists
Radio
Explore
If radio is not listed as one of the options then your phone lacks that capability.
Hope this helps.
Cheers......
Good Morning. I say hello again because I have not written in the forum for a long time.
I have the Xiaomi Mi A2 4/64 un muy hands, which I liked but I can not find the way to activate the FM radio.
When I use *#*#6484#*#* to enter in the test the FM radio is not in the list. So I suspect that it will not be possible to activate it with root
Could someone confirm to me that it is definitely not possible to use FM radio in My A2 with android 8.1? ITS posibely a problem of mi Phone?
Thank you very much for your help.
As it doesn't have a headphone jack there is probably no way to use the headphones as an antenna. That's why there is no FM radio most likely
But it does have a headphone jack, you just have to use the adapter. I don't know if that could then be used as an antenna or not, seems plausible though.
An FM radio, to me, is kind of a Safety thing. All phones should have them.
Hi,
in the parallel branch there is the following information:
"Mi 6X supports extra features (disabled in Adndroid One firmware) as FM Radio, APT-X APTX-HD and LDAC Bluetooth audio (LDAC comes to all Mi A2 on Android 9 update, confirmed by beta testers, maybe APT-X too, don't count on FM radio unless it is officially exported to the US where will be mandatory to enable it)"
So I hope and believe that someone sometime will unlock FM module

the Mi 6X has FM radio, the feature is disabled by Google request, unless Xiaomi launches the A2 in USA google wont allow the FM radio feature (in the US will be mandatory to enable FM function if supported by HW), all Qualcomm powered SPh in the USA should be able to install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextradioapp.nextradio a generic FM radio APP, Google even dont allow Pixel's FM radio thru this app.

need advice re: next radio app version 6.0 2492 installed. message "...can't access fm receiver...". 8.1.1 fm radio preinstalled on mi a2 lite. does 8.1.1 need to be uninstalled or force stop, to enable 6.0?
I think you're in the wrong sub-forum, this is for the Mi A2 phone (has no usable FM chip) , not the Mi A2 Lite.
I found this online and can confirm it works with the Verizon variant of the V50. It's version 7.20.12. 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.
Enjoy!

I heard there is a TV Tuner App for the LG; is this true?
I have the European model LG V50 - LVM500EM. I installed the FM radio apk app from external source. At first, it was installed like a charm. But when I tried to turn it on it won't work at all. The weird thing is it recognised the earphone not connected when I unplugged it.
Then I installed NextRadio apk and it saying that my phone supports FM radio. Again, it won't work when I turned it on.
Is there something wrong with the device? A help would be appreciated.

Radio fm in lg g8s?
hello, could the fm radio work with nextradio on LG G8s European version?
I've tryed, it doesn't seem to work on g8s
Hello everyone I introduce myself, I am new to this forum.
I have had the version LMV500EM and I have had to return it after two days for not being able to activate the radio, with no version of the LG radio apk or NEXTRADIO. The latter, gives a congratulatory message after detecting the existence of the radio chip, indicates that the headphones are connected, but does not search for any station.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I would buy this mobile again if it were possible for the FM radio to work. It is essential for me.
Thank you.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my LG V60 Thinq. LM-V600EA. I can install the FM radio app but it won't start the radio. It gives a message to plug in headphones if none are in, but once I plug some in clicking the on button does nothing. I even have the correct APK from another V60 Thinq variant. I think it is sickening that LG does this and I will be returning the phone and never buying any more LG products ever again.
True. In the end for this reason I had to buy the Korean version. The radio is activated, but in return I have network problems with Spanish operators and some texts and applications that always appear in Korean language. This region policy is a shame.
I'm using version 9.20.16 of LG's FM Radio app on an LG K51 (LM-K500UM). Has anyone found a previous version of the app that doesn't require that Bluetooth must be off to play the fm radio? The NextRadio app does run when Bluetooth is connected to a headset, but it detects audio re-routing and "thinks" the headphone wire has been disconnected and insists that a headset be plugged in for use of its cord as an antenna. The LG FM Radio app toasts "Cannot start FM Radio while Bluetooth headset is connected." Therefore, I can't use my Bluetooth speaker, which doesn't have a built-in tuner, as I have done with other setups in the past, to wirelessly play the fm radio through it. I use Lesser AudioSwitch and SoundAbout as audio routers. Thanks for any help with this. Incidentally, my phone isn't rooted, so I can't use Mike Reid's Spirit FM app.
