FM Radio enabled? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

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.

I already got the phone 2 days back SM-N960F model and it's not a snapdragon varient

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.

Tmobile Note 7 FM Radio

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.

Note 9 us version on tmobile

Hi guys,
I'm new here and want to get yalls opinion and expertise if the unlocked US version Note 9 will work fully on tmobile network? I got it from b&h photo as it has a lot of freebies (Dex and the new dual charger) plus there's no tax.
No. 1 priority for me is if tmobile band 71 will work on this us version note 9.
Thank you in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
Great question. As far as I can tell, it has Band 71 (600mhz)...
I think TM uses some of the lowest frequencies over other carriers, like their cement drilling band 71....aweosme.
See pic attached.

It should work with all bands. Just don't expect HD voice, VOLTE or Wi-Fi calling to work.
It will absolutely have Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE. I've had several unlocked phones with them and they all offer both options. T-Mobile is very open to outside devices.
I appreciate y'alls reply.
I've read you can flash tmo's firmware with this unlocked phones to get tmo features, is that true?

Has this been figured out? My wife and I bought unlocked Note 9's yesterday. We have wifi calling, but my wife misses having video calling. So is it possible to flash the tmobile firmware to enable that and any other missing features from the t-mobile note 9?

Use either LTE Discovery or Cell Mapper, both can be found in the Google Play Store.

G977N and 5G not working

I bought an S10 5G korean version 977N KT branded, my carrier is Vodafone Italy and everything works fine, apart the 5G connection, never seen on the display. Does anybody have the same issue using the korean device abroad?
Korean S10 5G only enables 5GNR Band 78 when certain operator (ie: Korean) SIM cards are inserted. Otherwise inside the UeCapabilityInformation it sends, it only includes LTE Bands (1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 32, 39, 40).

Could a proper firmware or a custom rom solve the problem?
I think it's something in either the CSC or the baseband, but not sure.

Let's hear from others who still keep on using this model ....
BTW: the two models (B/N) are exactly similar in HW specs. if not identical. If am not worng ?, furthermore, the custom ROM (VN-ROM) here is working on both similarly and as per developer, it is based on G977B firmware!

Yes right, I do have this model. but do you expect 5G is optional for this device manufactured to support the 5G network!, logically no!!
It is an essential feature that should be available as the other features!
This makes me think that the model is not fully supporting worldwide 5G networks bands and it might be equipped with a certain 5g-modem that supports KT 5g-NR bands ONLY!! . in addition, the low price for the N model also supports this assumption!

One UI 2.1

I haven't install One UI 2.1 on my N960N yet. I was just wondering how it fares compared to One UI 2.0? As the most of you know the issue I had was with the Secure Folder and updating Wechat via Google on it.

well don't know about 960N but on my 960F so far its almost same as 2.0. only few new feature updates and the new deep sleep feature. all apps works well. no issue with secure folder aswell. so far i don't feel any battery improvements tho! im thinking of during factory reset and do a fresh start to see if that improves anything.
I just update my N960N to the latest version of Android 10 with OneUI 2.1 and so far it seems to have fixed some of the issues I had with the first release of Android 10 for the Note 9. Not sure about the Secure Folder as I have yet to test that.

I never heard of Frija, I just looked it up and installed it. It was no help. I'm guessing the update for my phone hasn't been released yet. I'm on the T-mobile USA variant. Frija gave me the version I already had, which doesn't include 2.1.

Is the USA getting VoLTE or nahhhh

I guess I'll talk about the elephant in the room. Is the USA getting VoLTE on this year's iteration? Natively without rooting of course.
I'm using the ROG Phone 3 on Google Fi (so, T-Mobile) and it does not currently support VoLTE, it seems.

That's a bummer. I wonder if AT&T or Verizon will support this device.

I just saw this today. I wonder if T-Mobile is going to whitelist this phone.

Don't get your hopes up, but I asked them to fix this urgently since there's not much time left before T-Mobile kicks us off..

Your not using the a model. There is an a, and a b model. The a model has full support of TMO bands, and volte.

Doesn't matter. They are not blacklisting phones without official volte. If it supports volte, which the a version does, it will work.

How do you what the version is? Is it a different model number or the Global vs US? How can someone make sure they get the correct version?

Do you know for sure if Model A support VoLTE? I'm pretty interested in this phone (coming from a Razer Phone 2), but the lack of VoLTE is kind of a killer (especially if T-Mobile is going to mandate it). I tried contacting Asus's support about it, but the guy I got in chat really didn't seem to know anything.
Also, does anyone know if it supports wi-fi calling? Since T-Mobile's coverage isn't... always the best... this is also a pretty important feature.

VOLTE, yes, VOWIFI, probably no, but i'm sure devs will get it working. Im also sure the guy who got VOLTE working on the rog2, can get it working, IF Asus drops volte before the US release.

Thanks. If Asus won't be implementing it officially, then I guess I'll wait for a custom ROM before buying the phone that does enable it.
Anyone know when this will be on ASUS U.S. store? I thought it was supposed to release july 22nd but cant find it anywhere except ebay coming from HK
Hi everyone!
I am considering to import Asus Rog Phone 3 CN version with Global ROM from China to France because it would save me around 400 euros.
Please suggest there would be any major issues with such imported devices? Has anyone imported smartphones from CN with Global ROM? Please let me know. Your inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I heard on Reddit it was coming in September, but I think it's the same as last year where they do a surprise release in the store.
Comes out in September in US
