Tmobile Note 7 FM Radio - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if the Tmobile Note 7 will have or come with a built in FM radio? I read on the general specs that it did not, but the specs for the Galaxy Edge 7 also said that it did not have one either and from what I remember reading, it was added later through a software update. John Legere said all future Tmo devices would support this feature but I have not heard anything at all. Any info on this?

Not for T-Mobile version of Galaxy Note 7.
Internet based radio FM only with apps.

If it doesn't then that Samsung and not T-Mobile. If you already have it did you try and install a FM tuner app? That's what you had to do with the S7/E and it didn't support it initially.

The phone is not even out yet. I am considering buying it if it has an unlocked bootloader. It would be nice to have this feature.

All QUALCOMM chips have FM built in, carriers disable it by default because it's free and doesn't use data = no money for them. An update to the S7 Edge unlocked the FM capabilities. The Note 7 obviously has the same chipset.

That's not how it works. There is a licensing cost which in the US manufacturers charge for. Carriers don't pick it up and why it is disabled. If Samsung made it a standard feature for example and paid those fees then Verizon couldn't have it removed for example. Google search Blackberry, Bluetooth, and Verizon as another example. If manufacturers made it an option then by carriers not picking it up then it isn't on the carriers as far as the law is concerned. The manufacturer removed the feature.
HTC is an example of not paying the licensing fees and why the HTC 10 doesn't have FM no matter where you buy it from. It's more than just the radio. There is also how the radios are pinned to the logic board.

The radio apps that use the Internet will work. The reason is that these apps are using the Internet to provide the service.
The real question is: Does the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 have a FM radio chip for International versions? If so: Can we activate that chip with T-Mobile version and be able to use with an app to enjoy FM radio with that chip?
-

They do not use the internet to provide service. They use the internet for the advanced features like the thumbnails for example, but the FM radio itself works. If it worked just on the internet alone it wouldn't require the FM radio being active.
As far as the international version. If it is there it is there. If not then it's up to Samsung, and you have to ask them.

Then I was wrong. That is cool that Samsung keep the FM chip. I will tryout NextRadio when I get my Note 7.

No worry about it. The only thing manufacturers did was not add their own App and allow users to decide what they want to use. I like that. I haven't found a tuner app I like yet. Next is the best so far I found.

the t-mo note 7 does indeed have fm radio. use next radio. you can tune stations with a headset plugged in. i havn't tryed any other tuners though as it's a pain finding one that isn't internet based.

Been using it all afternoon. It indeed is enabled and works. I do hate the fact you have to have a headphone cord plugged in as antenna, but I do have a broken pair with a "short" stub cable and route the audio to my BT headphones.
Ugly, but effective.

[i9020a] Google Wallet / AT&T

AT&T i9020A with 4.0.4 stock ICS. Fresh install.
I've been told and several internet sources say Google Wallet is now available for AT&T customers, but it doesn't show up in the Google Play store
When I sideload it, and open it in the Google Play store, it says this application is not available but shows the page. I don't have the "Open" or "Update" buttons.
Try this one. Been working for me. The recent update in the Play Store says not compatible for our device, but the one I posted works just fine. Simply install.

If you hate google you can always use a Bing, Yahoo or even altavista. If you think google controls you too much you should also consider getting a WP, Bada, IOS or WEBOS devices you know? I stick with my google devices, they rock .
At the end, its always the carriers fault. I am a dev and I have like 10 devices between phones and tablets, and buying devices that are bound to a carrier is always a pain, specially in the US. That is why now I am buying international versions of the phones.

FYI I bought my device unlocked and not through AT&T. My 9020a is unlocked and runs CM9. You can blame the carriers all you want, but Google decided that Wallet would be a carrier aligned thing. They could've said No. Wallet could've easily been non carrier aligned and like GPS it should be a free utility.
I find Google just at fault as the US carriers here. Let us use phone features as is.
And yes NFC has been horribly pushed by Google. They did a terrible rollout a year ago and even now I barely see anyone using it considering you're forced to use a Citi card, and using it on your Google PrePaid card is quite useless IMO.
TechCrunch wrote a great article about NFC: http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/30/nfc-is-great-but-mobile-payments-solve-a-problem-that-doesnt-exist/
Anyway, I may be unhappy with Google here, but don't tell me to jump to Bing or some other irrelevant alternative. You can't expect everyone to be 100% happy. How many iOS users have zero complaints?

The Google Wallet app is now updated to facilitate all the major credit cards; I got an earlier version from the link on this post. Can I get the latest from the forum like I did the former? I can't get it from the play store, and the update button in the GW settings on my Nexus s i9020a is not highlighting to allow for the present update. Or perhaps there is another way. I have version 1.1-R57v5. There is a version 1.1-r67-v12, which I believe may be the one before the 8/1/2012 update. Much thanks and appreciation for the support.

Can anyone confirm google wallet working on the Nexus S A version (AT&T)

Safely can say I would use n7 as phone

After using the nexus 7 for some time now, if it had calling capabilitys I would use that it as phone without a doubt in my mind.

Using GrooveIP and attaching it to my Google Voice account, coupled with a bluetooth headset like you typically have paired with phones, I often DO use my Nexus 7 as a phone. :good:
I've made quite a few calls on my N7 over wifi with GrooveIP. Looks funny when I hold it up to my head though.
I tried using GrooveIP earlier and it crashed the first time I tried calling my N7, but worked fine the next time.
Is it possible to change the ringtone in use though?

But you don't NEED a BT headset/earpiece right? That's just so others can't hear the person on the other end correct? I ask because I purchased Groove IP a while back to make calls on an old HTC Hero that had no active cell service, so I may try it on the N7 someday when I'm bored.That way I can call my girlfriend without my wife seeing her number on our cell phone bill.
Could you really imagine standing in a busy street holding it to your ear?

I already use voip for some calls so if the n7 had 3g it would replace my phone, but without 3g it's not practical.

The Nexus 7 doesn't support an external mic...it has been confirmed in another thread I believe.
Edit: External hardware mic isn't supported. Apparently a few people have been able to get a bluetooth headset mic to work but only with GrooveIP. It sounds like a driver issue with bluetooth. I definitely doesn't work with my Nexus 7 and Skype.

I use Platinum Tel pay as you go for my cell phone service so having GrooVeIP installed on the 7 saves me even more cash when I have WiFi. I'm not much of a phone user (190 minutes) so I manage to keep my bill around $8 a month.
Once it's set up properly it works pretty good.

Nexus7 UMTS-Stick extern working

Hello!
Yesterday evening i managed to connect my external UMTS-Stick ( Huawei , free gift from Alice /O2 Provider in Germany ) via OTG Kabel
xxx.amazon.de/gp/product/B0090N2FBA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
to my Nexus7.
Stock Rom, Android 4.1.1, rooted.
I used the app PPP Widget. ( xxx.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html )
Everything worked like a charm.
I hardly found informations about Nexus7 working with this app, so i just wanted to spread the good news.
If someone needs information about the exact hardware version of this Huawei stick, i could post information later on.
As far as i tested, all applications got working internet connection.
Greetings.
Great news. Does the app need root or will it work on an unrooted device?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Root access is mandatory....
So far with the OTG USB cable i`m able to access my pictures directly on SD-Card in my EOS 1100d Canon Camera with Sticky Mount ( Play Market ), connect a USB 3.0 NTFS 32 Gig Stick and , as described, use an external UMTS modem.
So a few good reasons for Root.
Cheers.

i was hoping you'd correct it that way, as i have the same stick, unlocked since last week. works perfectly with my multisim and my 5gb plan
two drawbacks, no pin support (don't like to have my sims unlocked, but meh), and disconnect doesn't work, but you can always just unplug it.

You are right about the umts but I think the latest version of Media Importer supports NTFS.
Another alternative to having a usb stick hanging off the device is to use a pocket wifi portable modem. Be useful for just a data card but 4 hour battery life in use might be an issue when on the go.
Since all my mobile data is on my phone plan I'll stick to tethering..

[Q] Enable tethering under certain conditions

I am new to tasker and I thought I had some slight understanding of it, but I was wrong. I have a Galasy S6 running Marshmallow and I am trying to enable tethering when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth and has to be charging. It keeps failing to enable tether. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came here with this exact same issue. I have it set up to trigger wifi tether when my vehicle headunit is in range, but it's not working automatically. If I manually trigger the profile it works fine though.

I've read that different phones respond to turning the hotspot on differently.
Have you tried the built in wifi tether within tasker and not the Secure Settings hotspot?
Also, are you rooted?

Unfortunately I am not rooted so i can't use the second link, which is the best option. The first link seems to defeat the purpose of automation. I guess I need to accept defeat that it is not possible on the S6. :crying: Thanks for trying to help.
Are you willing to root it?

No, if I root I will loose samsung pay, which I love. I just wonder what makes the S6 uncapable of having an app switch tethering.
Ahh ok, i understand. I dunno man, from my research all phones are different when it comes to tasker.

Only option left is to try NFC tags, ordered them can't wait to try and see how well they work.
NFC works a treat, I've used it in the past.

FM Radio enabled?

If I recall correctly, saw some press from the beginning of the year that Samsung phones released this year would have their FM Radio's enabled. Is it?
Yes, FM radio is enabled. I downloaded Next Radio and was able to listen to FM when I plugged in my headphones.

What about the OEM interface? Can we make it work like the S7/8/note8 did?
I don't live in America and want the even frequencies to display as well as RDS.
What is the OEM interface. If you'll explain it to me, then I can try it and tell you.
#EDIT: I see your screenshots, I checked in my "package disabler pro" and there is not a stock radio app that comes with phone.

I need to know if the fm radio modem are hidden for snapdragon as I'm from asia and we are only getting the exynos chipset and wonder i will ever be able to enable the radio

I remember the previous models didn't have it with the American variants as well.
The note 8 had it with the Hong Kong DS variant preinstalled and was posted here in XDA. I grabbed the .apk from there and made it work with rooted S7/8 T-mo variant by pushing the apk to system.
Someone who bought the HK variant, not sure how they name it this year, can shed some light and confirm?
@mynamemetallica There must be a snapdragon variant for China and Hong Kong. This one should do. I think SM-N9600 or 9608 but I'm not sure.

That's unfortunate. I always double check before I buy. In my country only the Exynous architecture is available thus buying from local retailer is not an option for me. Luckily there is credit card and Ebay\Amazon to buy anything I want from. Just need to verify about this Hong Kong variant, hope someone who has it will show up and confirm. If not, I guess I should be going with U.S.A.
I have the T-Mobile variant and I have confirmed that yes FM is working.
Same as the note 8, snapdragons worked but exynos didn't.

The question is which variant that has FM working is also rootable?
I can confirm that the AT&T variant has an FM radio. I tried it with the Next Radio app. You need wired headphones plugged in to be the antenna.
Verizon version has FM radio enabled, too. Confirmed for the 512 gb model and 128 gb
My Note 9 in Brazil (SM-N9600) comes with a preinstalled/oficial from Samsung FM Radio app. Snapdragon variant =)
My US unlocked has the FM enabled but it didn't come with the stock Samsung app and I'm unable to install it directly. Anybody else have any luck?

I have the US unlocked SM-N960U1, manufactured in Korea. FM radio is enabled and works great. I use the NextRadio app. (I don't ordinarily want FM radio rather than streaming, but it's good to have as an emergency option.)

Check out the WETA custom ROM for N9600 thread. It has the supposedly working stock FM experience. The .apk file should be located at /system/priv-app/HybridRadi/HybridRadi.apk
Now only left to figure out how to lay it there on N960Unrooted.
Yes, it has recording function (to SD card / internal) and timer. No RDS.
