Question [Troubleshoot Discussion] SGS FM Radio issues, Stereo fix

Hmmm when I goto the FM radio there is no sound coming through the earphones. Check the volume is up and nothing at all. I have to rescan each time, and that re jogs the sound output through the headphones..

Also the quailty doesnt sound amazing at all, even with technics headphones.

Music player works fine.

When you scroll with your finger to a frequency you have to press stop and then when you set the frequency press play.

Am pretty pleased with the quality myself, all works well, tunes fast, all the RDS data with station name and program info works.

My experience of the radio is that its utter crap. I tested it on a number of strong signal radio stations and all of them come out mono, no stereo from the radio at all.

also the sound quality sounds like a crap speaker sitting in a bean can. hollow sounding rubbish, very surprised that they can make a radio that rubbish these days.

Mp3 player sounds great though, nice clean full sound.

I thought I read somewhere that you can listen to the FM radio through the phone loudspeaker instead of the headphones?

If so, how???

You can but you would still need the earphones as they act as an antenna

Agree, although utter crap is just too positive a description.
