Hi all,
i searched the officially available specs but did not find any information if an FM radio is onboard.
I mean a real over-the-air FM device, not just that things that uses my data quota.
Thanks in advance,
Frank
Both GSM Arena and M4's white paper lists FM radio support with RDS. In fact, I've never seen a Sony device without FM radio, so it's not gonna be different this time with M4 Aqua...
Reading helps ...

Thank you so much. Found it! Nice. Whitepaper is something official
Can confirm FM radio in my xperia m4 aqua dual
apparently the antenna is built into the headphones.... can't launch the FM radio app without the headphones plugged in...
It was never possible to use fm radio without headphones as antenna. At least i have not seen phone cspable of doing it in the last 10 years.
FM Radio and RDS works :good: awesome
any experiences how much battery its using compared to listen to mp3?
E.g. if I use my JBL bluetooth speaker, it seems I have to increase the volume of the radio to get the same loudness as with mp3
So it might need more power?

Hello arcatarc, don't think it is rooted. I have GB and unlocked. Does the phone need to be in ICS (version?) to unistalling/deleting unsupportedheadset.apk? Can just in GB doing that?
Thank you.

Good Question, A guy who thought just like me... But, I searched over internet to findout whats wrong with sony earphones.
The reason is, Earphones are categorized into 2 types. When u look at earphone pin, there will be 4 slots. 3 for sterio audio and one for Mike.
The difference between these two earphones are, Mike and one of the sterio slots are interchanged. ie,
For say, for samsung, slot1: Sterio Left, slot2: Stero Midde, Slot3: Sterio Right, Slot4: Mike
In our sony, Slot1: Sterio Left, Slot2: Sterio Middle Slot3: Mike Slot4: Sterio Right.
You can see changes in Slot 3 and 4. So, there is a mismatch in design, so, eventhough u can insert other earphones, they dont work. But, CONNECTIONING those earphones LOOSELY might work sometimes.
Hope it is clear now. And yes, SONY, NOKIA follow same design. Their earphones are compatable to each other
FM not working in my ro
I search this forum and root my sony phone. I am going to do apk.
So it is the pin order different. srihari210 thanks for your great information. I am curious to try apk. I use esfileexplorer to explore apk I only see unsupportedheadsetnotification.apk, not unsupportedheadset.apk.
Is that the same one? unsupportedheadsetnotification.apk looks like only a notification screen. I remove it. some earphone still nt work. any suggestion?
One of the features I'm looking to use on the Xperia Z Ultra is ANT+ wireless sensors for cycling. The specs for this phone state that this is a feature yet my new phone does not seem to have ANT+. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
Dave
Check the Play Market.
Yeah, I've tried installing the ANT+ radio service from the Play market but it will not work. I have an Xperia Active with ANT+ and it works perfectly and is easy to setup new connections.

I'm having the exact same problem... when I open mapmyride I can only see the sensor for BT Heatrate straps but nothing for Ant+
Specs for the new Xperia Z1 indicate that it also has ANT+. Hopefully Sony will enable this on our phones soon.

Hi Guys,
I'm also an avid cyclist using Garmin Ant+ heartbelt direct to my trusty old wornout Xperia S and also Xperia Ion too.
Many say BT4.0 LE still has cutoff issues, and Ant+ batt last forever in heartbelt.....
I understand from speaking to shops that the LTE version has Ant+, but many said the 3G version does not. The SnapDragon 800 does have Ant+ feature in chip, there was some debate if 3G version uses this chip. Sony really should fully enable these by firmware if possible.
PS: The bluetooth signal needs to be switched on to enable Ant+.
Hope any of you could provide your experience of workability or lack off, thanks.
Bump. Still no ANT+ after the .526 update.
If anyone with a new C6833 4G phone is able to test ANT+ functionality for me it would be greatly appreciated.
The best and beast smartphone, I called the A.I. Phone (Mate 10 Pro)
But
I am a lover for FM Radio
Now
I can't find it FM Radio, Why?
No fm radio with Mate pro sadly
Any Solution?
Only way is to root your mate pro and hope that a firmware activates the tuner radio if it's possible...
Lol

I will think about it!:highfive:
I don't think the Mate 10 has a radio chip. So not an easy fix
Edit: oh, I've already checked apparently: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-pro-enable-fm-radio-t3733870
You must read and buy phone with FM radio. Why this question?
Even if the phone does have a chip that you can activate using a mod, as phones usually use the headphone cable as an antenna, and the Pro doesn't have a headphone socket, you probably wouldn't get a signal anyway as there's no way to plug in an antenna.
Not having an FM radio is a shame, as FM is a good way to listen to music for long periods of time without draining battery or data.
Just use TuneIn or the many radio apps. Only way.
Does anyone know if the Nokia 7.1 will have fm radio?
It doesn't if the specification from GSMArena https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_7_1_plus_(nokia_x7)-9342.php is correct.
Apparently, it does have an FM radio

I just got the US version yesterday from Amazon and it doesn't look like it has a radio. There is no app for it and 3rd party tuners like NextRadio do not recognize having a tuner available.
Ed
is there Fm radio
? Is there fm radyo no one knows
No there is no FM Radio.
I installed the nextradio app on my mate 20 pro and it claimed to have FM. Required wired headphones for the antenna so I stopped right there. I’ll try again soon.

does this method work what do yours think
anyone can update me about this?
would be brilliant to have a local FM tuner on Mate 20 Pro, if possible, somehow !
Is there an improvement in this issue(fm radio on mate 20 pro bcause there is root on the mate 20 pro )
another idea
Did anyone try to transfer the radio from mate 20? After all, these are the same processors, so I suppose that it should work ... Next radio unfortunately does not work for me after connecting the headphones
