I didn't send it anywhere... works just out of the box
It's listed on the website as being supported ...just download the app ..plug in the headset for an antenna ...it works

Yep, confirmed working on Verizon S8+. Good find. I just read the specs somewhere that it didn't have FM and forgot about it. NICE.

Can someone share the apk? thanks

 

[Tidbits]

There is no APK for it you just download an app that can access the radio. Next Radio is one, and I believe there's a few others, but Next is the more "known" one.

FM on Sprint S8 already installed

Cool, saw the thread and checked phone to install app. Already installed !! Plugged in my headphones and listening to PBS in minutes.

Thanks for the FYI! I don't know why it would be deactivated in certain regions. Is it consumer demand or studies like the weird G6 feature fragmentation?

 

[bedaboy]

thanks for the info mate

i dont understand that the international S8+ Exynos cant do this, what is the difference in this case

 

[redhatter]

the fm radio is built in to the chip... so snapdragon vs exynos

For what it's worth, doesn't work on a UK S8+ Exynos.

You do realize that this is a US S8 thread? This is not the place to ask your question.
