Hi anybody know if there is a prog that lets you listen to radio.
do you mean radio as in internet radio or radio as in FM and am
if you mean the later then a GSM phone cant recieve FM and am analog radio it's digital and only listen on the 900/1800/1900 bands where no stations broadcast
but you can buy different cards think they are CF cards in general which recieve radio on pda's
thanks

Hi all, i am noob in this area.
My rom version is 1.72.00WWE
i have something called Radio Version 1.14.00, but i dont know what this radio thingie is about. Can i have radio?
Is any better rom ( patched, upgraded ) to my 2020?
radio stack == GSM radio module firmware == software to the device use to work as a phone
so, can i hear radio on my phone?
gsm == cellphone radio (digital signal transmittet on 900/1800/1900GHz where radio stations are usualy around 80Mhz to 110Mhz)
radio is much more your avarage FM music station
much like radioactive stuff dont play skyRadio
if you want to listen to FM/AM radio you have to buy a SD Card with FM radio or get a headset with radio
Hi all,
I'm a proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S and I have been using it last 22 months. I could have recontacted my phone for free last month (end of 21 months) but I was eagerly waiting to get the Galazy S3 LTE version. I'm with Singtel Singapore.
Finally last Saturday they released and I found out that that version don't have FM Radio. It's a International Quad Core with 2GB Ram seems. I really miss FM Radio. I'm a radio fan (Yeah still )
So my question is FM Radio supports depends on Hardware? (I'm not talking about streaming. Real radio we have in S, S2 and can be use even without data). Is it like they removed some chip so it's no longer possible? Or just some software related things which can be fixable in the future?
Can anyone shed some lights on this issue for me? Thanks!
I searched Internet and I found a interesting pattern. It seems all Samsung LTE variants doesn't have FM Radio. In Singapore I checked Galaxy S2 LTE and Galaxy Note LTE and both don't have.
Anyone from US or other countries can confirm this? There are lot of other countries S3 LTE released long ago. Can you confirm you have or not? Also is there anyone have FM Radio with LTE version? I read somewhere Korean version have it but I don't know how true that news....
Also my initial question is it a Hardware thing?
There is an app called Spirit FM that has a thread here on XDA. Basically its a root app that supports FM radio on as many devices as possible and there is a listing there of what devices support it and what devices lack hardware.

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of that app and even tried on my Galaxy S.
But my question is FM support depends on hardware (Like a fm receiver) or purely depends on software? Why LTE phones don't have FM radio?
Anyone from Kore confirms whether they have the FM radio in LTE version??
There is a radio which actually depends on mobile signal whether it is gsm or lte and there are also radio which depends on hardwares,like fm/am radio transceivers, however on some phones like those with tv apps and radio apps most likely on phone with dual sims and with adjustable antennas (like an aluminum rod which is connected to radio chips itself and adjustable, or you can see this at the back of the phone, they are software and hardware related. As for the phone which supports lte signal, maybe some of them dont have it but most of them have, i got one on my phone and without earplugs, it cannot be switch on but once earphones or external speakers have been connected it would start scanning signals, unlike those with built in hardwares they can however with the use of the adjustable antennas.
If however i am wrong on my info, i would be glad to be corrected.
Goodluck

Thanks for the reply. Can I know which phone model you have? Is that phone support LTE too?
Mine is GT-I9300 quad core or s3 international,and yup, it supports lte too,since the place where i am currently at is throwing 4g/lte network signal.

Hi kathees, sorry to say Galaxy S III LTE doesn't support FM Radio Chipset (HW).

BTW which version phone you have? Korean?
Any speculation as to whether the FM Radio in the AT&T 920 will \ could be enabled. If Nokia gets paid a cut of the Nokia music purchases I can see why they think disabling the FM Radio is a good idea.
Do any of the 920s overseas come without Nokia Music and\or have FM enabled?
This thread doesn't actually say that the rest of the hardware is in the handset (ie the wiring to the headphone jack as antenna for example), so maybe it is simply impossible:

None of the Lumia 920s worldwide have a built in FM radio. So no, there is no way for Nokia to "enable" such a feature since there is no FM antenna to begin with.
At least, the ones distributed in France don't have FM radio either.
WP8 does not support FM radios at the moment so currently I can guarantee you that there are now Lumia 920s which have it working. As for the possibility to enable it later on I can't tell you wether the hardware to use it would be there but it seems this is not really a priority topic for them given there are not that many people who listen to FM radio on their phones.
Hello everybody. I'm a newcomer here, and own the Samsung Galaxy A 52 5G (model SM-A526B/DS).
Unlike other Samsung devices I own or have owned, there's no radio app on it so far.
I've found several contradictory information about this on the net : some pages state there's an FM chip on the motherboard of the device, and others state the opposite.
So I'd like to know if someone here has the right answer. I don't want to use my data nor to empty my battery listening to radio apps, whereas former devices allowed me to listen to radio using only my headphones.
I also read somewhere - don't remember where, sorry - that rooting the device allowed one to use F-Droid (which I already installed for other purposes) to install a radio app called Spirit. But I first need to know if there's a radio chip on it, or it would have no interest otherwise. Though I intend to root the phone... one of these days...
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi, there's no FM radio chip on A52 5G.
Yes, there is.
I own an A526B/DS and it has an FM radio and the Radio app preinstalled. Maybe it's a regional thing? I have the UK model if that makes a difference. But I can 100% confirm that my A52 5G has a working FM radio as seen by the attached screenshot.

Thank you for your answer. As you said, maybe it's a regional thing : I'm in France. I sent Samsung a mail, and am waiting for the answer.
I wrote Samsung an inquiry mail, and just received an answer. I paste the translation here :
"
[...] I am following up on your message about the possibility of listening to the radio directly on your smartphone without using an Internet connection. To do this, your mobile must have an FM receiver. This chip, directly integrated into the motherboard of your phone, will allow you to pick up the waves emitted by the radios.
Some smartphones do not have an FM receiver.
Your Samsung Galaxy A52 5G does not have Radio.
The Radio application no longer exists. This is not a malfunction of your phone. When updates are made, some of the old features disappear to make room for new ones, depending on the memory of the device.
If your smartphone does not have an FM receiver, you can always turn to podcast services. Most major radio stations offer this type of offline listening.
- Open your web browser;
- Type in the URL of your favourite FM station;
- Then select the podcast section in the navigation menu.
In addition, the phone can work with third-party online radio applications that require an internet connection.
In the Play Store you will find a multitude of radio applications to choose from.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
I wish you a pleasant day!
Sincerely yours, [...]"
So it seems to be a regional thing indeed. I should have bought and ordered mine in the UK...
Maybe Ill be able to use Spirit if I root the device. But I won't ask Samsung about it...
Thanks for the answres anyhow.
And a 2nd mail from Samsung taught me today it's a territorial restriction indeed : the Australian version for instance has got this radio chip...
I bought mine in Belgium and it has the Radio app as wel and it works!

Dear friends,
I read on gsmarena that the A52 5g has an fm radio.
After that, I bought it here in Greece, but when I opened it, I didn't find a radio app.
I don't know if it has the fm radio chip.
Is there any chance it has it disabled and I can somehow enable it?
What do you say;
Thanks!

Hi. I bought an S21-5g 991U1 unlocked mobile on ebay. It looks like it has t-mobile firmware. Unfortunately, there is no Fm radio and it cannot be used. The question is what kind of firmware should be installed to have Fm radio. Streaming radio is not needed. Thanks

The last phone I used which had a proper FM radio was an HTC Incredible S model. To use the FM radio you had to plug in a wired headphone. Why? An FM radio needs an external antenna and the copper wire in the headphones served that purpose. Since the S21 doesn't have a headphone jack I doubt the FM radio hardware will work (if it's even in the chip anymore) since it can't get a signal without the external antenna wire.
Back when I owned a Samsung S9 (which still had a headphone jack) I looked at a couple of the FM radio applications available on the Play Store and most of them seemed to stream certain local FM radio stations over your data plan. But the privacy policies and location requirements made them seem a little sketchy, so I never used them. I never found an app which exploited the in-built FM receiver for the Samsung.
Hi!
Thank you for the answer, this is not the question, because we know that the usb-c headphones also work as an antenna. The question is the correct firmware that can activate the built-in FM chip.
thanks

I have an S21 and an A52s, going to try this soon but haven't yet, might be worth a shot. Got it from uptodown and the sha256 sum matches.
