[Q] fm radio
- Thread starter jarcher12

The radio chip was used with our headphones as an antenna for the signal. It wasn't practical however due to the need for the headphones. I myself don't truly think we've a radio antenna within our phones beyond that hack of sorts but I can be wrong nonetheless.

It's probably there, just disabled still. Most companies just use a combination chip that has WiFi, Bluetooth, and FM transmit/receive all in one. The other Galaxy S variants have it, the Epic Touch 4g has it, even iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches have it.
Actually this its how most phones handle the fm antenna, by design.

nothing worth listening to on fm radio anyway lol. Plus TuneIn should take care of any radio needs, tho maybe it uses more battery than an fm receiver...
But if the chip/part of a chip is in there then it should be turned on. And if nothing less they should compile the driver and release it

If only it were that easy. It's been used in the iPod Touch from 2nd generation on, and from the original iPhone on. The iDevice community was enormous for years before Android became popular, and none of those devs could crack through and turn FM on. It would be nice if it were enabled, I've wished it for a long time, but sadly I don't think it can be enabled by anyone except the manufacturer.
Yes the oem samsuck should turn the dam thing On we paid for it. Right its in my hand
