Does Razr have FM radio support - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello,
Was anyone able to hear radio on a Razr without data connection.
This is the only factor that will make me change my mind for buying the Razr...

re
i know that xda has search support.

it has the hardware, but has not been enabled in software by motorola and no workaround has been found

Does the forum have a search function?

Have you ever searched through a tablet? I did a search and couldnt find exactly what i was looking

Theres only one option to test FM Radio under Razr forum. Nobody could put it to work since motorola didn't delivered a FM radio driver.
But you can test your own. Just get anycut app in G Play and start a new activity > FM player.
You'll see the Built in fm app but it doesn't work.
Searching in a tablet really doesn't give you workable results. Try a PC instead.

I am pretty sure there is hardware for it because there is radio FM in the bionic and the same hardware is under RAZR to, for the radio. But as you said there is no drivers but if I remember kholk said he will look in to this after the 3.0.8 source is released

Cool thanks guys.
I am on a 10 day trip without a pc, and i am doing a search on what mobile to purchase, so sorry if i took some of everybody's time.
I was almost sure that i did my final choice with Razr, but then i remembered that i didnt check the radio option! :-(
Now i have to consider my other options again GNote, HTC XE, SONY S

Man. If the only problem is the radio then forget about it, but if u care a long lasting battery n amazin signal then go razr. If you're in USA get a maxx.
This is the better build hardware till today and ICS is coming to improve usability experience. The moto system also is the less bug'ed from all smatphones. I would get one for an easy tripp.
Edit
Btw. Remember you can fill it with mp3
Btw2 (lol) and all good radios are over the web

Yes i know thanks
I have a Moto Milestone which doesnt have radio, and so many times i get frustrated because i want to hear radio while walking or at the stadium.
And i just dont want to regret it... unfortunately i dont have data unlimited plan.

My old Droid X has a working FM radio. I take that when I want to have a radio along with other things like MP3s on a bike ride, hike, etc. It would be much better to only carry one device. If this is possible to unlock, I'd be all over it.

I live in the US and bought the Bionic which has the FM radio but never really used it. Now I have a Razr Maxx with no FM radio enabled but the Tunein radio app on the market is awesome you get a stream of your local radio station's (if under contract with Tunein) they are constantly adding new stations and refining an already awesome app. I purchased the pro version and don't regret it.

TuneIn is absolutely fantastic. I can't remember the last time I used an actual radio because of it.
But I can definitely see where actual radio capabilities might be a nice feature if someone doesn't have unlimited data, like the OP, or if you're doing some international travel and can't or don't want to use data.

Yes correct, i dont understand why companies would want not to have a radio on a mobile, something that was a must on old mobiles and something that still a lot of users need....

Fm radio app ?

Hey guys I am new to the rezound, just got it today!! Anyways, I know on some previous android phones there was an fm radio app available to use with your headphones acting as an antenna. Is there an fm radio apk out there that will work for this phone ?
Thanks

I want to say that FM Radio was for Moto phones only, but I might be completely off on that. I doubt that we'll be able to add any apk's like that to this phone until we get s-off since everything essentially resets right now after reboot. There is an app on the market called Spirit FM radio that quite a few people use. It's supposed to be pretty good. I haven't tried it yet since I just left my X2 for the Rezound and haven't thought about replacing my FM radio.
Oh, and welcome to the Rezound This phone rocks.
I use Tunein Radio works off of the data though. But it has almost any radio station I can look up except one. hope it helps.
I got TuneIn as well and it works well. You can listen to police stuff too which can be interesting... Oh! I should've thought about that when I was driving through Hollywood today since there had been a big shooting incident.
Anyway... free version is good and I think they only thing you get from the paid version is the ability to record stuff but from what I've read it's not worth it. Read that you can't listen to those recordings on anything but phone and it's near impossible to skip around in them.

After reading this,I pulled the radio app from my droid 3, it did not work. Sooooo either we have no FM radio chip or the software is coded just for the motto droid. I'll have to find the incredible radio app and test that. But in all honesty I do prefer Tune In. I have the pro version (was free on amazon awhile back) I don't use any of the pro features though.

Any Bluetooth 4.0 headsets????

Since this lovely device supports Bluetooth 4.0 I was wondering if there were any headsets, hell anything else really, that we can use to take advantage of it. Thanks for looking and any possible answers.

I use motorola elite flip. Its 3.0 but the fact it has nfc is good for futures use. If rumor is true about nfc chip in Razr. You could go up to 300 feet with the NFC pairing.

Bluetooth Michael Not Picking Up With Assistant Type Apps

I can't seem to make my razr use the Bluetooths microphone when talking to personal assistant apps like vlingo or skyvi. The audio works great however, but I can't get it to stop using the phones mic. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it only uses the Bluetooth mic for phone calls.

+1 for finding a way to change the mic. I would like to be able to use my Bluetooth mic for the voice typing in ICS. And having the assistant use it too would be nice. Plus I like the Google Voice search app MUCH better than the default Bluetooth voice actions app.

You'd think that with the multitude of talented devs we have here, and the benefits that would be had from all android devices, this issue could be resolved with a mod in no time. I'm willing to throw a donation a devs way for this.

Bluetooth in the car not working

After the ICS update I can no longer get my car to play music through BT on my Maxx.
After pairing to the car the phone and the car say no media. So I go to the config of BT on the phone and tell it manually to not allow phone or media. Then I add media only back and it no longer gives the errors for no media on the phone but still does on the car radio.
Nothing I have tried has gotten BT to play music in the car. Any ideas?!

Major bummer. Glad it is working for you guys at least. I have to figure this out. Might just have to reload the phone.

Mine has only half worked since I got it. My Droid Charge worked flawlessly and I attributed it to Bluetooth 3 with my Evo Look car system. Dunno for sure, though.

You do understand that if android goes that way you can kiss your custom ROMs goodbye. Not only that but also your options for android devices would shrink because the open handset alliance would quickly fall apart. Why not just buy an apple if you want a closed off system? These thoughts show exactly how you do not understand what open source is and why Google is doing what its doing.

Faster updates and all. We can then all have a uniform android experience and not this hap hazard one we now have. Just to turn on wifi is different in sense and touchwiz.... they should compete on quality and look of the phone and not software as the hardware and software should all be the same. And i would never buy a iphone no widgets.

Why does this have to be so either/or? Samsung has no intention of suckling from the android teet forever--samba/tizen? Its open now, but won't stay open forever---look at how reluctant they are to release their hardware libraries... hundreds of thousands of people 'superbricked' their (insert qualifying samsung device here)--and though a simple fix would have been to release their emmc firmware to the xda community, and we'd all have functioning (instead of limping) quality samsung mobile warez....i', calling events like the MMC_CAP_ERASE bug instancas of 'planned hyper-obsolescense'... i fell to it too: gTab 7.7? Superbricked and in a coma on my shelf--- why wouod i buy a new one when the gNote 10.1 just came out.
Motorola could set the bar so high, that tthey force companies to stop doing that, or force them onto their own ecosystems. Motorola has liscenced the AMOLED patent from samsung, so we could see a motorola droid or nexus tablet sporting the same features as the Note 10.1 but with Amoled--and hd--and a kevlar back...
I personally am excited about ubuntu mobile and boot to gecko.
Motorola should be Android's greatest champion, but there's no reason why google would ever close-source android just to make motorola its flagship manufacturer. I think we're going to see an incredible rest of the decade---as long as isreal doesnt get nuked---then all bets are off.

Apparently Mozilla is working on their own smartphone OS - aptly named - Firefox OS, which they claim to be an attempt at a truly open mobile OS. I personally haven't heard much about Ubuntu mobile, but I'd be willing to move over to any other Linux based OS. Fragmentation is an issue, but that's just a side-effect of having an open operating system. Personally I think Android is managing this issue well -- but then again I'm only speaking from the perspective of a RAZR owner.
Fragmentation is not an ssue with open source deployment, its a problem because OEMs are so corporate, so profit/competition-driven, that they cant even fathom a gnu-gpl development scenario---"wait, R&D investment you cant monetize???" Its just beyond them.

Haha you gotta be kidding. Google loves to make money and by doing what your saying they would lose a lot of money. Just accept the fact that you can't have the latest os without buying a new phone. Even iOS is like that every new revision has new features that work on the latest iPhone and not or only partially work on previous I phones.

There are phones that have jb on them? Just because our phone doesn't have it officially doesn't mean it isn't out. why does it even matter if we have the latest OS that isn't even very different on an old phone. It's not like we are stuck on GB.

It matters to me BIG time. Never show weakness by having an outdated os. People on the latest os will glare and snicker at those who dont. Its a dog eat dog world. Its like my razr ics is a pcjr without it. I think we need support groups and we should sue Google and the carriers over updates.
