Yes. Tap to have it scan for stations, and it brings in stations better than my Cruze infotainment sys.

Tencent 8/128, yes. There isn't an icon or app per say... at least that I found. It's in the quick settings drop down. And the oddity to it all... You MUST have your headphones in for it to work.

Headphone are usually always required to use a phone's built in FM receiver (when it has one), because it uses the headphone cable as the antenna needed to receive the signals.

Had phones with it in the past, never used it so didn't know that. Wouldn't have this time either sans someone asking about it. Thanks for letting me know

Just found out my Tencent is running WW. Don't know if that means anything, but wanted to come back and correctly state the version of my phone.

Anyone know how to add shortcut for FM radio please share

@AlanTham you can download an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
This shows all the application on your phone, also app with no icon in the launcher and create a shortcut to launch the app.

Fm radio without wire

haha so i was messing with the radio today and i got it working with no wire. SORTA. So i plugged in the adapter in to the usb port and then stuck my stylus into the 3.5mm jack it fits and it make the radio work. try it. I'm going to try to find some thing to fit into the 2.5 mm jack and see if it works? Ill let u guys know
Lol, reserved
HAHA , it works
wow this worked remarkably well lol and to my suprise you don't have to jam it in there and it fits quite nicely.
it works
nice work and nice find..... yes it works fine
Just be careful not to short anything out, could be bad news!
haha this is tite
Why stylus?
What do you mean by "adapter", konefatp? I assume one of these.
I got me one straight after I got the TP and the radio works just by plugging it in, no need to use the stylus. So I don't see your point.

I think he meant the "stock" multi adapter.
I also use a generic adapter from China and the radio works without any headphones.
It would be awesome if someone could just crack the radio app and get rid of the verification.

Or you guys can be smart about it and flip to the "Headset" dword key to 1 in the registry(hklm\system\state)... so it thinks a wired headset is plugged in, even though it isnt

It would be nice if someone could make a button to toggle that reg key.
Alternatively you can also try the xFM radio player I wrote, it doesn't check earphone and support more features such as read radio text, listen to police station by selecting Japan band etc.
Sorry for that poor interface and you have to use system build-in volume control because it is still under research.
Initially I was going to write a powerful beautiful FM radio player for my Raphael but all users hope me to research TMC for navigation system.

I can get RSSI 47 but it will still not play until I plug in some earphones.
RDS works perfect without the earphones but not the sound.

If toggling that reg setting does work, then you could create an app that sets it, launches the radio app and waits for the radio app to finish, and then switches it back again - pretty straightforward. However, is anybody getting any signal without the headphones plugged in? I don't seem to get anything.
Cheers,
Steve.
The stylus in the 3.5mm jack socket trick is genius now it looks as though I have some really special aerial. I love it, Brilliant

FM Radio without headset

Is there a way to have the FM Radio app working without pluging the headset?
As far as I know: No.
The phone has no integrated fm antenna and therefore uses the headphone or any other audio cable cable instead.
I also noticed a difference in signal strength and quality with different kinds of cables / headphones.

Does this possibly mean thicker cables will receive signals better?
Sent from my C6906 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I guess it depends more on length, isolation and most of all placement of the cable.
Do you have problems with a weak fm signal?

Works perfectly with the app TuneIn Radio, that wont ask you to plug a headphone.

Wait, you have a Z1 without data connexion? I'm not sure that an app can really use only the FM radio and allow you to not plug a headset
For the FM i can see FM freq station in TuneIn Radio, but it seems that it's only for information? (didn't know that)
My friend I don't want to spend data on radio. Many android can, not good reception though

Not good reception for what FM or DATA? Try Spirit FM Radio
Anyway, Sony phones do not have a integrated FM antenna, you need to plug in the headset or a audio cable. No way around that I fear.

There are mods on lots of other xperia phones for this to work.
Try looking in the xperia T apps forum. That one may be compatable or you may find out how it was modded to work

The issue is that I sometimes want to sit at home and listen to the radio but don't want to put the headphones on because I want to be free to move and my phone is on charge or also connected to the PC etc....
You do not have to use the headphones as the output device, they just need to be plugged in. Try tabbing on the headphone icon in the upper left corner, it should toggle between headphone and speaker output.

OK, but still, its has been modded on most other xperia phones to enable this to work. I will have a look at it when I get some time, but this is low on my priority list and I am very busy ATM.
If someone is really desperate for it just OM one of the people that have done it for other phones and attack the Walkman.apk.

Vehicle.apk

Hey guys.
I just discovered that inside the JY Android there is an app called simply "Vehicle". Appears to take out car info via can bus and display it, but only when you start the app. Plus the "settings" tab inside it appears to be inactive. Anyone know where does this app come from? Can't find it on Google Play and it doesn't appear to have any widgets to go with it, though it would be very useful to have some of those informations permanently displayed.
Really.. I haven't seen that..
So you are saying it is actually taped in to the ECU onboard computer and is grabbing information from it directly with out any need of the Bluetooth adapter that others are using?..
If that is the case that opens up a whole range of possibilities..
Not the least the one that is.. If this is running that and you are on the internet, in theory the car unit can be hacked and a third party can take control of it..
Especially in newer cars..
Hum... Interestingly...
I am thinking a little more into this as I run a chipped diesel engine..
We drop a chip into it to boast performance and it is getting plugged into the engine via one of the auto testing ports..
So in theory, if this unit is directly tapped into the ECU we might be able to control this chip via an app... Food for thought..

Yeap, it does grab them, as you say, but as far as I saw, it has nothing but one-way read-only possibilities. And the info appears to be the one that you can normaly access on your mfd, nothing more, except that it's all there in one single column. But for instance, the fuel quantity is displayed in real terms, in liters, the battery voltage is there aswell... and so on. I don't know how accurate the information is, but it would sure be useful to be able to have a widget on the unit's screen, based on that app, to display some or all of that info permanently. However, the fact that the unit grabs info from the car's computer without any OBD, Bluetooth or otherwise, is obvious... how else would it be able to show info like parking sensors, park trajectory, climatronic, an so on if it weren't able to do that. But my guess is that all that info is available though the can bus only, and you can only read it, not tamper with it.

The car is good. Must be the canbus decoder. Either that or it has an old software. Just to make sure... you push "Vehicle" app, then you get a black screen with nothing but Vehicle writing there, you push that... and nothing happens?

It must be the decoder, however, if it's hardware or software issue I dunno. My first unit was as blind as a bat to the canbus, but my new unit came with a newer version of canbus decoder and software (from 1.01 to 1.07) and this one sees everything but the climatronic (odd enough). And you might want to track down the manufacturer for that...
Here's some winter news... the damn app doesn't recognise negative temperatures... outside was -7 (Celsius) and it was showing +6594:laugh::laugh::laugh: I must have landed on the sun's surface:silly:
I have one of these head units based on an RK3188 chip in my mini, and only today realised it was setup wrongly and the canbus type was set to BMW and not MINI.
WHat this means now is that suddenly it's on the CANBUS and my steering wheel volume etc are working as they should.
However...
I deleted the vehicle app when I was playing around with it, can an of you grab the apk and send me a copy of this?? Now I have the CANBUS working (i initialy thought I'd wired it incorrectly) the app should work and gve me fuel levels and MPG etc as the original head unit did.
Any help appreciated, I can't find this APK anywhere on the unit itself, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the play store like this.

Well, the use would be in the fact it seems fairly discontinued, but is a useful app.
I downloaded and installed a newer version of the stock firmware, and this app wasn't included. I would like to put it back on, so if anyone can extract it and pass it my way, there's a bit of paypal kudos on the way...

Volsmart PX5 HU for $269.99 us shipping!

This looks like a very good price. US one day shipping from Amazon Prime. I ordered it and an external mic for ~$8 just in case. Hoping it's good. What do you guys think about it?
Well I pulled the trigger and purchased. I did not get the external mic. Had to hack up my dash trim and some of the actual dash. This is a 2004 Ford Focus. The iso harness connected with no modification as I previously had a Blaupunkt radio. I am having audio popping on my end when placing a bluetooth call. Music sounds great on bluetooth and is very loud and sounds full range. Hoping for some help with bluetooth call audio issue.
I saw you got it rooted successfully. Anymore updates? Did you get your calls to work any better?

Good: Very fast, great sound, good wifi reception, good bluetooth reception, radio reception acceptable, volume nob works great.
Bad: Tight fit(had to cut dash and trim), bluetooth calls issue, google maps crash sometimes, google app crash sometimes, google voice search can't dial contacts, no option to voice dial contacts, second incoming call no notification or option to switch calls, some electical sound leakage in speakers when touching the screen(not bad I just noticed with my ear near speaker).
Overall: pretty good for the price.
that interface looks good
Its an MTCD. They're largely all the same, with variations in number of USB, SDCARD, amp chip, tuner module. The unit most fully kitted out is the GS MTCD board.
Notice HCT in the android version - they produce the PX5 SOM with the resellers specifying software options (launcher etc.)
Having owned a JY and compared it to a GS board I have - obtained as a spare part for hardware hacking - the GS is the one to go for.

The mic did not help. Volsmart says they have sent me a new bluetooth module. I am still waiting for it. The old module will need to be de-soldered for removal. I am OK with this as I know electronics. They are not responding to support requests because of China blocking VPN access. If I don't get the new module before end of 30 days I will get refund.

I found this online and can confirm it works with the Verizon variant of the V50. It's version 7.20.12. You must allow installations from non-trusted sources under settings/security to install this app. Enjoy!!
You can download it from android file host HERE.
Enjoy!
Screenshots of installed app.
UPDATED 8.6.2019 - Download link updated to provide LG FM Radio version 7.20.12. Thanks to @Inerent for informing me of the newer version of this app.

Thanks for sharing. I had installed v7.0.16 on my LG G7+ and I realized that it was buggy with lots of noise while listening to certain stations. Now I've installed this upgrade (v 7.10.8) and it works like a charm. Thanks a lot
I have version 7.20. 12...

Did you know that It's a similar app from LG called TV? It scans, with the headphones, for local TV stations. Pretty cool!

Sent you PM
Just installed it on my LG G8. Thanks!
I heard there is a TV Tuner App for the LG; is this true?
I have the European model LG V50 - LVM500EM. I installed the FM radio apk app from external source. At first, it was installed like a charm. But when I tried to turn it on it won't work at all. The weird thing is it recognised the earphone not connected when I unplugged it.
Then I installed NextRadio apk and it saying that my phone supports FM radio. Again, it won't work when I turned it on.
Is there something wrong with the device? A help would be appreciated.

Radio fm in lg g8s?
hello, could the fm radio work with nextradio on LG G8s European version?
I've tryed, it doesn't seem to work on g8s
Hello everyone I introduce myself, I am new to this forum.
I have had the version LMV500EM and I have had to return it after two days for not being able to activate the radio, with no version of the LG radio apk or NEXTRADIO. The latter, gives a congratulatory message after detecting the existence of the radio chip, indicates that the headphones are connected, but does not search for any station.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I would buy this mobile again if it were possible for the FM radio to work. It is essential for me.
Thank you.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my LG V60 Thinq. LM-V600EA. I can install the FM radio app but it won't start the radio. It gives a message to plug in headphones if none are in, but once I plug some in clicking the on button does nothing. I even have the correct APK from another V60 Thinq variant. I think it is sickening that LG does this and I will be returning the phone and never buying any more LG products ever again.
True. In the end for this reason I had to buy the Korean version. The radio is activated, but in return I have network problems with Spanish operators and some texts and applications that always appear in Korean language. This region policy is a shame.
I'm using version 9.20.16 of LG's FM Radio app on an LG K51 (LM-K500UM). Has anyone found a previous version of the app that doesn't require that Bluetooth must be off to play the fm radio? The NextRadio app does run when Bluetooth is connected to a headset, but it detects audio re-routing and "thinks" the headphone wire has been disconnected and insists that a headset be plugged in for use of its cord as an antenna. The LG FM Radio app toasts "Cannot start FM Radio while Bluetooth headset is connected." Therefore, I can't use my Bluetooth speaker, which doesn't have a built-in tuner, as I have done with other setups in the past, to wirelessly play the fm radio through it. I use Lesser AudioSwitch and SoundAbout as audio routers. Thanks for any help with this. Incidentally, my phone isn't rooted, so I can't use Mike Reid's Spirit FM app.

Radio worked fine on my old Xiaomi phone.

Same situation and same model, bought fully expecting it to have fm radio, would also appreciate help too
I am starting to suspect that LG has disabled fm on LVM500EM and that US and Korean versions can support it
