This phone doesn't have the hardware to receive FM. So it's impossible to receive it as there is nothing on the motherboard to receive the FM.
Thank you, i thought SD865 plus have fm radio. It can be used in all SD865 plus devices. Note 20 ultra 865+ us version have FM radio.

FM doesn't come from the CPU. You need a tuner and this phone doesn't have one.
Thanks for the clarifications brother
If you really really really want it ... you could try using an SDR dongle.
There are android drivers and apps. But of course this means having a giant usb stick sticking out of your phone (i guess you could use a usb extension if you wanted lol)
What I don't understand is why you need to uninstall the FM radio with rog 1 and rog2..
I think this should be on every phone with money..
And right now there is fear of pandemics and earthquakes all over the world
Why do we have to live connected to the internet all the time?

As for me this is the opposite, I don't understand why you need FM on the new high tech devices that will drain your battery and use your phone. You can have it with low price FM receiver that can be used for weeks before running out of battery and can keep it for years. With internet you can have digital streaming with much more choice than FM can ever give you.

this is awesome, but i was wondering if an HDRadio app were possible, as it uses the same frequencies.
..
Anyone know what device that Radio App was ripped from? I don't recognize it.
Well, wherever it came from, a big drink of brew for posting it and whoever mined it
Works great!
sadly it doesn't work on the atrix
It works pretty well on an Incredible running MUIU-1.7.29.0. I'm very happy to have it. But it's a bit raw, compared to the HTC Sense FM radio.
After scanning and choosing a particlar station, I couldn't find a way to assign the call letters to that frequency. While showing the list, Menu will give an option for New, but if you a frequency and then the name, it complains that "frequency already exist (sic)", since it was found to belocally valid by a Scan.
Media fire has removed the file for violation of their terms of service.
I found the app for rooted Droid 2's and it works fine on my Droid 3. Go to this page:
droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/76246-fm-radio-d2.html
Download the zip file and install FMRadio.apk which is in the app folder of the zip archive. You don't need anything else in there. Works fine with no issues, reception seems okay. It allows for 20 presets which you can name and the hardware has some sort of soft mute feature so that instead of hearing static it just gets quieter. It requires headphones to act as the antenna but allows you to switch to the phone's speaker. You could just use a 3.5mm patch cable as an antenna.
Not sure if this is the same app that was posted here or if its older since it was for the Droid 2 but it works fine.
Works great!!!! LOVE IT! Something to listen to while panning for root!

There needs to be FM transmitting hardware which is different from receiving hardware. It would be pretty useful if they included FM transmitting hardware in phones. You'd need an antenna but many FM transmitters use the ground wire of the audio cable or car charger as an antenna since FM uses a much lower frequency range than cellular it needs a larger antenna.

according to me when a phone has FM receiver it also habe a fm transmitter with it , coz when u receive a fm from a radio station , then is a small thing which sends a signal to them. this signals are use to count the no of users listening to the fm station. So this is possbile that Note also has a fm trasmitter. Actually a person expert in hardware can tell us the true story

No, the radio station can't count their listeners, but the note does have a small transmitter that lets me see what you do in the bathroom. Stop doing that, it's gross.
It cannot be done ,i checked with the hardware integrations of the same. It needs a hardware mod.

Don't recall the source, but I read somewhere that the Note actually has the required chipset for FM transmission, but the transmission part is disabled.
I really doubt it can be enabled, and if that happens I don't think it would be capable of high quality and above all enough range to be useful. Even Nokias suck on this regard!

Wow, that would be awesome. I'd love to listen to baseball games at work.
Links to the FCC reports for the N6 are here and here. There is no mention of an FM radio. You can also see the iFixIt teardown here. They also did not mention an FM radio.
As much as I would like there to be an FM radio in the N6, I think this is more likely a case where the CSM you spoke with was mistaken or the information available to the CSM is incorrect.
They called me back after researching it. They started off by telling me no it did not have it. After they researched they said yes it does. They also told me other providers will active it but not T-Mobile
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
That might be partly true. Many chipsets these days are multipurpose. I'll use my old Nook Color as an example, because it had a WiFi chipset that did, in fact, include a Bluetooth transceiver. The device's hardware, however, had zero provisions for it. Developers figured out how to turn it on, but without the supporting hardware, Bluetooth range was less than 32 inches, nevermind 32 feet.
I'll wager if it's true, it's the same case with the N6. It very well may have a chip capable of receiving FM radio. That does not, by any means, suggest that it has the required hardware to use it. I doubt very much it has any supporting hardware or antennas to use FM radio.

AFAIK, having an FM chip on a phone doesn't mean you can receive FM radio transmissions on the phone b/c you need a proper FM antenna. The Nexus 6 only has 1 antenna on it and it is designed for use by the GSM/CDMA/LTE radios, not by an FM chip.
So like with a walkman/ipod, you would need to use the headphone wire as an FM antenna BUT AFAIK there would need to be a coupling b/t the headphone jack and the FM chip and there isn't unless the phone was designed to use the FM radio There is in some phones like the Moto G and Moto E, but the phone has to be designed to use the headphone wire as an antenna AFAIK.

One teardown I read (can't remember which) explained that the 805 comes with an FM chip, however there is no wiring from it to the headphone jack for antenna. There is also no system support included by Qualcomm to use it. Unlikely to get that working without serious hardware modification & software integration.

Sprint Nexus 6 Has FM Radio
The Nexus 6 on Sprint has the FM Radio activated out of the box. You can check the specs on the website, it is called NextRadio.
FM Radio
I'm in the broadcasting industry, and my radio colleagues say there's a conspiracy at work here. They swear that every cell phone made contains an FM radio receiver. But - carriers prefer you use data rather than free airwaves, so most block it.
I don't know if that's true. But I do have one piece of personal information.
I own the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. WiFi only. And yes, it has a built-in FM radio. Even has an app for 'FM Radio,' and it works like a charm. It apparently uses the headphone cord for the antenna.
Then I also bought the Xperia Tablet Z2, with Verizon LTE. And...there is no FM radio access at all. No app, no mention of it, anwhere.
As for the Nexus 6, a thought: aren't they all pretty much identical? So, if one has FM capability built in, won't they all?
Regardless, the issue is bigger than just this phone. The radio industry has been trying for years to get free radio on cell phones. But, it's just not going to happen on some providers, , since they make money on data. But for those that allow it? Bravo.

I've been researching this. What's been shared is the 3.0 UI Update removed the Samsung FM Radio for most users. A few devices in certain markets (Australia?) MAY have the utility. I attempted to activate the radio via the Nextradio App without success, they went out of business. I also attempted to install the most recent Samsung FM Radio AKP, again without success. The User Manual for my device (SM-G9980 - Hong Kong) makes no mention of an FM Radio. My wife's S10 Plus (Hong Kong) has the feature and it works fine. You can still install radio apps but the ones I've seen are all streaming with ads.

The manufacturers sometimes disable FM radio at the hardware level. So even though the acctual radio chip may be present on the phone, it's disconnected. No amount of software wizardry will tap into it if it's not enabled by Samsung at the hardware level. Older devices had workarounds, but as the community finds and uses loopholes to get around restrictions, comapnies like Samsung plug those loopholes in the next iteration. I've tried to search online for a way to get the S21U FM radio working, but I don't think it's possible at the software level unless Samsung explicitly enabled it from the factory.
I don't think it's going to happen. As far as I can recall, the older phones required that you use your wired headphones as the antenna. After all, FM antennas are fairly large if you want any sort of reception at all. The wire for headphones could work but the newer phones now don't have a headphones jack so there really isn't anywhere to use as an FM antenna. So, even if you could get the chip to work I really don't think it has any connection to an antenna for you to put up any signals.

I'm inclined to agree. It would seem manufacturers are looking to migrate users to streaming (pay for) options. The stock Samsung FM on devices which are equipped with the feature won't recognize the antenna via earphones connected via the USB port, only the 3.5 jack can be used for the antenna function. Looks to be an obsolete feature, service providers want to make profits for anything they provide.

"No FM Radio for the sole reason that there is no headphone jack anymore"
Totally disagree, if a 3.5 jack will accommodate the antenna a Type C Connector can accomplish this function just as easily. Conspiracy? How about common sense? It's all about $$$. Nextradio was unsuccessful at convincing Apple to activate the hybrid radio app on iPhones, that's why they tanked. Either way it would be a critical feature in an emergency setting, possibly a life saver, device manufacturers are well aware of this.
