Hi manus31, thanks for your reply. I was not talking about Internet Radio Apps, but FM Radio module within the phone. But it looks like there is none. Just wanted to be sure.

according to gsmarena and many other review pages the nokia 7 plus HAS FM Radio: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_7_plus-9058.php
Unfortunately, there is no stock fm radio app. Have you already tried to download one from the playstore or somewhere else?

That's what I said in the beginning. Many report there is one... But is there a hardware module for FM Radio? Not talking about apps. I checked the Nokia Site again, no word about FM Radio in it. I just want to know from somebody who is absolutely sure if there is or not. Not guessing or retelling...

I read in several other communities that there is NO built-in FM Radio Module. Or it isn't activated yet. But for now there is no built-in FM Radio. Not talking about internet radio (apps).

I'm not so sure about that, the app he downloaded is simply an app that uses radio web streams and in no way uses an physical FM receiver in the phone...
On top of that he says no equaliser, except there is one, if you go into google music you can access it through the settings. He has the phone and yet he is getting lots of information wrong.

Most Snapdragon phones come with the fm module as it's a part of the SoC afaik. That said, there's apps like Nextradio that can enable and use that module as long as it's not disabled at the soc's firmware, and you obviously need the headphone jack so you can have the headphones work as an antenna.

Yes, because it's Android one, so the apps are only essential. You do have fm radio but you need the app and a pair of earphones
I found somewhere on xda a firmware file "B2N-132E-0-00WW-B07.nb0", and extracted the contents.
It seems everything related to FM radio is present, I mean drivers, other binaries, some other software.
I got from https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-homebrew-stock-android-t3752006 an image of a Nokia 6 (I used D1C-562A-0-00WW-B01_Exploit, not tested the other), found more or less the same files, and FMRadio.apk.
So I tried installing it on my TA-1046, installation fails.
FYI, the error message when I try to install is:
Code:
adb: failed to install FMRadio.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.evenwell.fmradio-<part that changes at every try>: Package /data/app/com.evenwell.fmradio-<same as the other>/base.apk code is missing]
Something is missing, but it is beyond my knowledge, and don't know how to investigate further.
I also tried to decode, look if there is something obvious, build and sign the apk, with the same result. I do not really know what I should modify to at least get it installed, it is beyond my knowledge.
No idea if it will even work if we succeed in installing it.

Is it software possible to record the calls (both sides, no loudspeaker) on nexus 1?
There was similar problem for windows mobile before where the OS won't let it, but was later solved. Now i see that there aren't really programs offering that as a feature. Is it disabled again on OS level?
Yes.

I'm fairly sure google voice allows you to record calls. pressing "4" while in a call activates its IIRC

Please give us more light on that, do you remember the program and what's MIUI and what's your rom?
ok i finally read a bit about the matter, it's not in the stock ROM cause is illegal on plenty of places and they want to avoid potential trouble.
But with custom ROM it should be possible. Just as it seems is the case with this MIUI above.
But is it possible with cyanogen's rom?

Wow! Cool! Thank you, this is the best version! Looks great and works flawlessly. Thanks!
Can you adjust volume with this one with +- when you're outside the app (like with musicplayer)

Does this radio app supports usb handset??
@DoubleYouPee YES!
@dlucio Don't know, try it!
Getting this app now! Was sad the one built into CM7.1 didn't work, now I can have a working FM radio!!!
Thanks btw, using this because I can now change volume without going back to the app!

You'd still need headphones or a patch cable in the headphone jack to act as an antenna.

Which functions are supported via Bluetooth? I mean there is the headset function which will work... SMS? Would be really interesting to see the Gear working with Windows Phone!

Will not work as the required Gear Manager is for Android Only. Don't think it will ever work on Windows Phone. There is no headset function to connect the gear to headphones (if that's what your asking also)

I think you got me wrong. The assumption is that someone writes a app like Gear Manager that will handle the data exchange. But since the watch itself is a simple BT device it must be possible to make use of the BT profiles. The question is: which profiles are supported?

I can't seem to get the Z3C FM Radio to tune into any frequencies in the UK, just static. All headphones tested worked fine with Z1C.
Anyone else have any luck getting it to work?
Whilst scanning for stations brings up a load of false positives, I can definitely pick up stations such as the BBC ones including the local station, Heart, Classic, etc.
Tested with Etymotic HF5s, RHA MA750s and Sennheiser CX150s.
Strange, I can't get anything at all, no matter what I try it with. Tried factory reset, repair via PC Companion, still just static. I'm guessing I have a faulty unit.
Works fine here too
Works fine in the US
The FM radio works for me, but only while it is in the foreground or while the notification window is pulled down. It doesn't work in the background for me.

Hi - I am replying a bit late because I just came across this thread while trying to troubleshoot a problem I experienced with the FM Radio this evening, which until now has been functioning perfectly.
This may not be your problem, but I'm going to describe it and a work-around for it, in case others may find this thread later when searching for problems with the Z3/Z3 Compact FM Radio. I hope it helps you, as well.
The problem is apparently due to an unfortunate conflict between the FM Radio app and the Google Now voice-activated search settings ("Ok Google").
The main symptom of the problem is that the FM Radio will not play audio through either the headphones or the speakers. This may be misdiagnosed as a broken radio, or failure to tune any stations, but in reality the radio itself is functioning and stations are being tuned. There is just no sound coming from the speakers or headphones (regardless of the setting of the Headphone/Speaker switch within the FM Radio app).
I discovered the explanation for this problem at the following thread, which deals with the Sony Z2 model, and is claimed, on the thread, to only happen when the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) is used in lieu of Sony's stock launcher. Unfortunately, on my Z3 Compact, the problem is occurring despite the fact that I'm using the stock Sony launcher.
Here is a link to the thread:
http://www.thedroidbot.com/sony-xperia-z2-fm-radio-issue-google-now-launcher-fixed/
Basically, the problem is a conflict between the Google Now service's "Ok Google" voice detection and the FM Radio app. Disabling the service's voice-activation (being able to say "OK Google" to invoke the service in listening mode for verbally stating a query) will restore the FM Radio app's ability to play sound correctly.
To test if this is your problem, try the following steps (the FM Radio app should *not* be active while you do this - use the "Close All" item on the task switcher to make sure the app is not active if you have had it running):
1) Invoke the "Search & Now" settings for Google Services using one of these two methods:
a) Slide up and right from the "Home" icon on the device's bottom center to invoke the Google Now search screen, scroll to the bottom, and tap the "..." menu, and select "Settings"
-or-
b) Run the "Google Settings" app from the installed apps menu screens (or a shortcut, if you have placed one somewhere), and tap the "Search & Now" item
2) Select the "Voice" item
3) Tap the '"Ok Google" Detection' item
4) Uncheck any checked items on this screen ("From Google Search app", "From any screen", "From lock screen")
5) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left of this screen
6) Slide the "Audio History" switch to the Off position
7) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left of this screen
8) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left one last time to exit the settings app
9) Test the "FM Radio" app to see if it is now functional - if so, you must either choose between being able to use the FM Radio app or having the ability to invoke the Google Now service by using the "Ok Google" voice phrase (or you must memorize this sequence of steps and repeat them each time you wish to use the FM Radio app, and then re-enable them when you are done with the app).
NOTE: Disabling the voice activation feature of the Google Now service does *not* mean you are giving up the ability to do voice queries within the Google Now service. To do voice queries will simply require you to press the small microphone icon within the service or on the Google Search widget on your device's home screen to activate and place the service into listening mode.

That wasn't the problem in my case, as I could clearly hear radio static just no channels could tune, and also tried it with voice activation off since I'd heard of this conflict too. I returned it and my new one works just fine. Other users may find your detailed description of the other problem useful though, so thanks for posting.

Glad it helped. As far as fixes go, I'm not optimistic since the problem has been around since the Z2 (and I suspect longer), but we'll probably find out sometime early next year when Lollipop is likely to drop for our devices.
Wish there was a good way to get reports like this to the right folks at Sony. There is also a very annoying conflict with this same Google Now feature and the Sony Camera app.

No, this is NO Android Radio, it just gives you the possibility to connect with Android Auto app, to get the screen of your smartphone mirrored on your Pioneer.
The Pioneer firmware is a closed software, you can´t change anything.
