[Q] N7105 LTE: Hardware for FM? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Just got my Note 2 (LTE: N7105, Singapore - Starhub). I was surprised to see that it was missing an official FM app. All specifications that I have read pointed out that N7105 has a radio hardware. Xda search revealed that many are facing this same issue. Probably pointing it out as Telco's strategy to force ppl to use data for streaming.
I tried to use the Spirit UL FM app with no success. It says it cannot tune [Error: No FM accessible ; SU:1 Fm:BC Su:0 Bt:1 Ht:0 Mo:BCU].
I want to know the real situation and your views,
(1) Does N7105 (LTE) have hardware for radio (FM)?
(2) If yes, will flashing a custom ROM (that has access to FM) help?
What might be the reason behind Samsung not providing a stock FM / not having the hardware?

Best way you can unistall it & try other
You know the headphones have to be plugged in for the radio to work, right? The headphone cable functions as the FM antenna.

First of all, as redpoint suggests, the headphone adapter and headphones must be plugged in.
Secondly, I'm not sure what the frequency range of FM radio is in Asian countries. In the US, it runs from 88.0MHz to 108.0MHz. If your radio station doesn't fall in that gap, then it's not going to work for you.
Third, MUI files are basically there for changing the language, not modifying the frequencies of a radio.

[BOUNTY] Thread for porting fm radio to GT

We all know that the chipset is in there and that other devices have succesfully been enabled. I would like to get fm for the GT. I think this feature needs more exposure to succeed. Others have come close.
If there already is a thread let me know.
$50 for a working fm radio.
Compliled data so far:

[Q] Where is the FM Radio app

Hey guys,
Where is the FM radio app that came with the international version?!
Hi,
I find it in the apps drawer/ all apps page. Icon looks like a radio with a knob, no antenna.
Cheers!!
you can search within installed app in Google Search Bar also (you can set where it should search installed apps are default on). "FM ..."
If you have the Note N7105 LTE, it probably doesn't have an FM chip (according to the forum).
I've got the LTE Note 2, and I'm missing FM radio too

Does Spirit FM app work with root?

My G4 is on its way.
I was wondering if anyone can confirm we can reenable the FM functionality with root?
Such as using the Spirit FM app?
Nobody? Need some help to verify this. Otherwise I have no reason to root..
come on guys, for anyone with a root G4 (At&t, Tmo or Vzn).... it is a quick check.
Spirit1 and Spirit2 say they're for AOSP roms only, so probably not. I'm not going to pay the $9 to find out.
Tried nextradio and it doesn't see the receiver. (Rooted US Tmobile) I believe I earlier possibly saw an item on a hidden menu that referred to the receiver, not sure if this could possibly turn the fm receiver chip back on.)
