Why do you need a "Good Old Analogue" radio when you have a choice of many good Internet radios, that allow you to choose your radio easily, rewind, pause and save radio?
And to just re-iterate my point, you don't need headphones plugged in for the internet radio to work !!!

Neither did my Galaxy Tab, nor does any of the 5 desktop computers in my house, or my mom's Galaxy Prevail, or her laptop. My PSP doesn't have it either, neither do my iPod Nano nor the 3 Shuffles I have. What ever shall I do...

Well...in a point of view you have all right....Just my mind is well...old fashioned...Greetings!!

The last phone of mine that had a radio was Nokia, my N900 (radio had to be unlocked) it even had a FM transmitter, downside with most Nokia phones I used to have was that after 15-30 minutes of talking my ear would have a popping effect as if I was in an aeroplane, plus a rash appeared on my skin where I used to put the phone in my left pocket.......hmmmn I wonder where all those phone radiation stories came from?
Not saying the the radio caused this, I'm just saying.
Although we might have to take into account the country where the OP may be living in as to why they might want an analogue radio.... nah, you can go to the small Caribbean islands off America and be certain they're teched up like anywhere else.

Though I admit radio would be a good addition (N7 being a WiFi only tablet, you can easily find yourself without internet connection), you have to bear in mind that the N7 is a budget product (I know it's easy to forget that seeing how awesome it is). Radio would up the production cost with no extra added value for most people.

I don't see a reason for a radio on the Nexus 7. My Eve 3D has a FM tuner and I never use it anymore.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

My old HTC EVO 4G had radio built in but I never used it, mainly because it required me to plug in headphones. Since I couldn't play the radio through the speaker, I never bothered.
Go download TuneIn Radio if you really need local radio stations.

Oh yes, and you know what else it doesn't have; a built in death ray! Who cares? (Although now that I mention it, a death ray WOULD be a pretty sweet feature, lol!)

Nexus one did. Also used for emergency data transmissions and traffic. I think some weather apps pulled info also.

I use Tunein Pro as my radio. It's light on data transmission, has all my local AM/FM stations plus thousands more around the world. I unfortunately doesn't have the DAB+ stations, but then a dedicated chip won't either.
I use my phone as a hotspot when I'm out, so I always have a data connection.

Don't be a ****.

My 5" Samsung Player has a radio chip that works pretty well. But i haven't used since I played with it.
Tune-In radio just gives me more, way more. And i have my Charge phone for whenI don't have Wifi.

Wish it had working radio. Would be perfect

I'm going to RMA mine until I get one with a working FM tuner. I'm on my 9th RMA so far, no working tuner yet.

The biggest reason I would like an FM radio, in my phone more than my tablet,is that many gyms and similar places broadcast the sound from their TV's over FM.

FM Chip?

Anyone know yet if the Bionic will have an FM radio? I know both the Droid X and the Droid 2 had 'em, though only one had the app. Since Moto's been putting them in recent phones, I'd lean towards thinking it will, but I doubt it's important enough to have made any spec sheets yet.
I say yes and the new moto music player has fm radio and steaming radio. But with fm u still need wired headset

I honestly wouldn't mind that limitation, there's almost no examples of times I'd listen to music via the phone speaker anyhow.

What about via bluetooth headset?
no only wired head sets work with Fm.

The reason you need a wire is because the phone uses it as an FM radio antenna.

Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Headphones NOT Compatible?

Weird, my Nexus 10 can't find the Kinivo BTH220. These are very popular, inexpensive bluetooth cans. From Amazon reviews they are reported to work with Nexus 7. Anyone else have problems? I'm stock for now on the Nexus 10.
Tried to pair my Kinivo BTH220's as well - same issue. Doesn't find them. I'm too much of a noob to offer a solution but wanted you to know you're not alone with this question. Wonder what's going on with the N10, they work perfectly with my phone...

Incompatible bluetooth stack?
Oh No...this is not compatible with Google Nexus 1.
OMG. Is this headphone not compatible with Android devices?
My google nexus one (rooted) is not able to discover the headphone at all.
Is this headphone only working for Apple products and Windows 7?
On the manual, it should work with Android devices though.
I'm hijacking this thread since I searched the forum for bth220, but my kinovo's aren't working on my HTC One X+. Can pair with my car.
Hmm, not sure what's going on, but I have those headphones and they work great on my nexus 10.

I found this from a review on Amazon: ... I contacted Kinivo when I had some difficulty pairing the headphones with my Nexus 10. It turns out the pairing difficulty was my fault (I was making the Nexus 10 bluetooth visible to devices but forgot to also have it search for devices). Kinivo responded almost immediately and walked me through the correct setup. Bottom line, buy the Kinivo product, you won't be disappointed!
Update: I tried again with Nexus 10 and paired ok. I'm not sure what the problem was.

I used it with my GS3 just this morning. Try this. Turn off the headphones. Enable bluetooth on the phone. Hold down the power button on headphones for 10 seconds or so until the lights flash. On the phone scan for new bluetooth devices. It should pair.

How is the sound quality with the s3 ?
I have these headphones and they work fine on my Nexus 10. I also have the newer model the 240 and they also work fine...

It just ok. Cuts out occasionally when not fully charged. I still use with an S3.
These headphones are great. I have 2 sets, one at work and one at home. The company is awesome too. A friend of mine had a pair crap out on him and Kinivo sent him a replacement free of charge and didn't even ask for the old ones back.

[Q] By a show of hands...

Who's still here? I know we have had a mass exodus from this device, but I'm curious how many stragglers we have left? If you're still here, are you leaving soon?
I have around 6 months left but I don't know if I will change at that time. I wish we could get ics on here. It would make things more tolerable.

I'm sitting on the fence. I would settle for the phone being stable, regardless of what OS it runs on (which is what I'm working on). I've got my TF300 for Android play.
I'm considering whether it's worth trying to go through the hassle of packaging something, or just giving this thing the boot and buying a phone outright.
I won't be renewing my contract with Verizon EVER as I never want to lose my unlimited plan.
I have two. Might go to one soon......
Still have mine. My contract is up on Jan. 26th. which is 5 months early. I am guessing they are trying to get me off unlimited data early. I got news for them... Here at work we are part of Microsoft's Customer Assurance program. We test out software and devices for them in a live enterprise environment and report back any issues. Kind of like a closed beta tester. They give us phones for various carriers. We got iPhones, android, and windows phones to test their software on. We put in for WP8 if we get confirmation then we will get Lumia 822. I will just issue myself one of those to use till I tire of it. That way I can keep my unlimited data. Fran schammo can kiss my ass that greedy corporate douche.
That last post made me laugh. Not sure a "thanks" is appropriate, but it's as close as we have to a "rep" on this forum. Lol
But yeah, I've still got my Revo. I bought a Droid 4 on Ebay so as to not lose my unlimited data. I then discovered that the Revo was still usable for everything but cellular service, so I'm still using it a bit.
It's an easy way of getting Netflix in the living room for one thing.
I'm still here too. Been trying to work on a rom but between working 6 days a week, school, getting married 2 months ago, and now a pregnant wife things have been a little crazy...
I am stuck with this phone until October. Have gotten it to run fairly stable though, VOD about once a month and a couple screen freezes a week. If I can ever finish what I'm doing I will get it posted up here.

Well, I'm here. I renewed last Christmas so I'm here for a while. Bout to drop a theme in a day or two (BrokenIC) and hopefully after that one I'll have MiBrokenIC. Also working on a kernel. Just dealing with it crapping out on me when building the Wi-Fi drivers.

I'm hoping all goes well with this thing. What kind of stuff are you implementing in your kernel? Might be a good addition to my rom eventually.

I'm on my 2nd Revo. Now know all the tricks (RAM is precious!). Have *all* the accessories (two car docks, home dock, regular and extended spare batteries and back, wireless charging pad, and back).
I'm having trouble finding another phone I want, once I accepted the limitations:
a. must limit widgets/running apps/total apps/certain apps, in order to keep free RAM at about 80-150MB.
b. ignore aesthetics (looks, bulk, screen). This is easy for me, and I actually like the Revo.
1. RAZR Maxx HD:
- both mostly at 4.3" screen (except RAZR Maxx HD is at 4.7" when viewing videos).
- battery life similar with extended battery (but Revo can swap batteries).
- Revo has wireless charging and dedicated car and home docks, and micro SD slot.
- RAZR Maxx HD has apt-X bluetooth codec, for great music fidelity with matching apt-X headphones.
- priced at ~ $500 used.
2. Galaxy S III:
- GS III has bigger screen at price of bigger phone.
- GS III feels less robust/more prone to screen cracks due to torquing.
- GS III has apt-X codec.
- priced at ~ $500 used.
3. LG Spectrum 2:
- see GS III above, but Spectrum 2 has no apt-X, and less accessories (no LG extended battery, even).
- comes with wireless charging back.
- priced at ~$350 used.
4. RAZR M:
- M has nice, smaller form factor, but with on-screen buttons, has only 4.0" screen most of the time.
- limited storage with no micro SD slot, limited internal storage.
- non-replaceable battery.
- has apt-X codec.
- priced at ~ $350 used.
I don't want to spend ~$350 to $500 for the privilege of giving up the capabilities of wireless charging, extended battery, home dock with separate battery charger, and car dock that starts up Revo's Car Home app when Revo is inserted.

Mainly I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Just adding a few new governors. But the main thing is to keep voltages at stock levels. I think that might be the cause of the vod. And I'm adding swap.

Sounds good. Voltage seems to be the issue that I have narrowed it down to as well. This thing can be extremely picky

Since the world didn't end today, I have a couple months left, three max (I forget). Just in time for the GS4 to drop. My priority is keeping the unlimited plan, even though I don't use that much data.

Bluetooth cuts wifi on 4.2.1

Hello.
When I use my Bluetooth headphones my wifi cuts out after about 10 minutes, it only affects the nexus because my xbox can still connect as can my 2 computers and laptop.
I know for a fact it's not my internet as my noise margin is currently at 19.5db download and 25.5db for upload.
help please??
Android 4.2 has a lot of Bluetooth issues. I don't know how to fix it, try to Google it?

Asus, the maker of our N7, had to cut corners to come under $200 mark, so they specc'd a cheap WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the N7. Furthermore, they cut corners on QC, thus the atricious build quality and service issues.

I take this back. It doesn't happen all the time and a reset usually fixes it. Sometimes when I pair my Moga, my play store won't load. I can still surf but some apps wont connect. Rebooting fixes it until I attempt to pair again. Its not every time but about 1 out of 5 times.
I thought it was just the Moga Pivot app at first and I just use the universal driver now... but it still cuts wifi occasionally.
Probably just a quirk with 4.2.1

[REQUEST] Dual/Multi A2DP out

I realize this sounds silly but is it at all possible to use 2 a2dp headphones/devices simultaneously? I would assume the bt spec supports it though couldn't get my N4 on PAC ROM to output to both simultaneously.
The practical use case is me on my motorcycle with a passenger. Yes we could each use our own phone but I tend to"ride to the music"so it would be pretty nice to share the entire experience (including the song and position of the music I'm playing) with my passenger. Thanks!
