I just rooted and flashed CM7.1. It's working perfectly and is blazing fast.
I need to take a few trips to Canada in the next couple weeks. Normally for my radio needs I would use streaming radio (car FM radio is broken in my 99 Accord, aux works fine), but since I want to avoid data roaming charges that's not an option.
I tested out the FM Radio and it works just fine. Strong signal and everything. The only problem is I can't scan for stations. I tried Spirit FM but the scan function doesn't seem to work.
Anyone got a solution for me?
I use TuneIn Radio so I can listen to NPR on the way to work. I just realized you can browse stations by country too! May want to check it out.

This doesn't use FM it uses data, so it's not what he's looking for.

Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
What are the options in this application, is it 88mhz-108?
Can I use my normal headphones or do I need to use the ones that came with it?
Can I save stations? Can I listen to the radio and browse the internet at the same time? Are there any videos available showing it in action?
1) it`s an FM radio so 88 to 108 only
2) Yes u can.
2) You can save stations and yes you can listen radio and do anything else (e.g surf the web). For videos try youtube.
Can someone confirm that RDS isn't working? If so, could this be a hardware or software missing feature?
Thanks.
RDS - Definately NOT working on mine, no idea if either hard or software related...sorry...but picks up a lot more stations than my (now sold) HD2.
If RDS is the thing which tells the handset what station it is (eg BRMB, Radio 1) then yes, RDS works for me.

Doesn't appear to work on mine.
RDS works fine for me.. finds Radio 1, Rock Radio, Classic, Key 103 (these in Manchester).
Works pretty well on my Desire!!
RDS doesn't work for me either. Berlin/Germany. Maybe this feature is location based?
So, Something is going on, and I can't tell if the carrier is filtering crap out or if it is the phone.
I am running stock with the latest rom from good.

I got five people to confirm.
I want an FM radio/tuner. I just reROMed my phone to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and lost the original FM radio app. I don't use mobile internet, so can't stream stations, so I need a regalar FM radio.
I searched Google Play, but they all seem to be streaming apps, except FM Two 0: which says it won't run on my phone as it doesn't have reckogised RDS hardware. FM Radio by Sutton Shin, doesn't do anything, just sits there saying FM Radio is being launched. Please wait...
Spirit FM Radio is a "pay for" app, which I don't have problem with, but would like to know if it actually works on the Gio.
SPIRITFM works fine
Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I tried all apps avaliable for Gio and SpiritFM is the only one that works other than the stock radio app.
I also tried lot's of radio apps, but the only one's i liked are TuneIn Radio Pro and XiiaLive. TuneIn seems to be the best with unlimited radio stations and new ones added periodically. If you want it free Xiia live iyour choice.
But i advice you to try TuneIn Radio Pro ( it gets lot's of local radio stations too).

hello. I have s3 neo and hasnt radio fm tuner. have any proposal? to put Freeware need to unlock the device(root)? if you give me so please link from the website. Thank you.
Hello,
I own a bluetooth headphones that works perfect with music players, but I have problems with the FM radio. When I turn it on, it says I need a normal wired headphones to act as antenna. That is OK; I plug one, and it starts the radio, but when I make a bluetooth connection with the headset, radio says it is incompatible and can not run with bluetooth connectios.
I have also probed Spirit FM radio that says it is compatible with bluetooth, but I have not been able to get it to work.
Does anybody get it to work a bluetooth headphones with FM radio?
(I want to use FM, no stream internet radio. It eats my data plan as I listed to radio a lot).
Thanks
I thought I knew every function of my Note 4 by now. But, read an article on CNet that mentioned the NextRadio Free Live FM Radio app. I downloaded it from the Play Store & it installed just fine (even though AT&T Note 4 isn't on the devices list). Typed in my zip code (I didn't want to allow location) and it worked! Like a charm.
So, 3 years after buying my Note 4, I'm listening to live FM Radio for the first time today. But, after using the app for a few minutes and checking the settings of a station once it's playing, I think it's using streaming audio, not the FM radio chip.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but... I don't think you are actually getting FM radio...
NextRadio now has a streaming mode for incompatible devices. I turned off my Wifi, and turned on "Stream over WIFI only" and poof... FM radio went away.
This is from their FAQ:
NextRadio now has a Streaming Mode which allows you to listen on devices that aren't FM-enabled, listen to stations outside your local area, and send the audio over Bluetooth. Like other streaming apps, Streaming Mode will use more data and deplete your battery more quickly.
Streaming Mode is currently only available in the United States.
That's what I eventually figured out (from 2nd paragraph of my post): "But, after using the app for a few minutes and checking the settings of a station once it's playing, I think it's using streaming audio, not the FM radio chip. This is based on the NextRadio FAQ page..."
