Thank you very much for this thread. Just fired up NextRadio and it works great. Stock rooted here. Hotspot fix and nothing else applied.

S Radio is better

Just wanna pass on that the Hybrid Radio app found in the "ported S5 apps" thread works the same way as NextRadio. Move to System/app reboot and voila. It works with no kinks. Plus, it's the bloatware originally designed for the phone, from the international version I believe.

Anyway.....it does work.

Did anyone here get FM to work on a non-Spirit S5?

Yeah I love the FM tuner because so often games get blacked out over the Internet when using tune in radio or other apps. Not to mention if you don't get a good data signal.

Wow, I deleted NextRadio a looong time ago, discarding it as bloat. Found this thread, re-installed it, and now I can listen to radio without a signal, which we know with Sprint tends to be an issue.

    NextRadio app can pick up FM using headset cable as antenna. Built right in.

    I know this sounds fanboyish,
    But a big thank you to sprint for keeping the FM Radio functioning on my Sprint GS5...

    I have been reading in other threads that all GS5s have the FM 'on the chip'...
    It is mechanically disabled (shorted on circuit board) on every variant EXCEPT SPRINT.
