Since this thread was resurrected, I read through it, and now I want to confirm: is the FM radio in our I777 able to be used via software hacks, or are the pins not connected to the headphone jack and there's absolutely no way to enable FM radio short of messing with the hardware itself? Or does the chip actually not exist?

The actual hardware does not exist in our phones.

I understand that. Tell ya what. Unlock your phone and pop in a t-mobile SIM and try to access the network selection screen. You CAN'T. I've been through this time and time again. AT&T LOCKS the menu. So unless you replace the radio AND install a custom ROM (ie on my Infuse I had Infused 2.3.3 and Rogers Radio), you CAN NOT even get into the manual network selection screen regardless of what sim you put into the phone.
I have the i777 unlocked and working on China Unicom. Have also used in on networks in Vietnam and Hong Kong. Sometimes you have to manually enter the APN settings, such as if you want to use AT&T pay-as-you-go since they don't allow 4g phones on non-contract plans, and no it's not in the fine print. But after unlocking, rooting and using CWM to remove the bloatware it works well.

You know he posted that like 7 months ago, right?

My point is, what it your point? Why reply to a 7-month-old post about something that everyone knows now?
Seriously? Why does anybody post on here - to help others out. In that case what's more helpful, mocking someone for posting a late reply, or at least trying to be helpful by posting a (late) reply? If no one was interested in this thread then why don't you just delete the whole thing?

Don't you have anything better to do?

The point is it brings up old threads for no reason whatsoever

Bro it's not all about you. People are gonna click on the thread based on it's title anyway, not just because it's on top. This isn't Facebook, it is a forum. This forum is still going to be around 5 years from now, and people will still be googling questions which will be answered by being directed to these forums, unlike facebook, where people don't care about things a month later. So lay off his ****, he is trying to be informative, it's about building a database of informative answers so that people, whomever they may be, can find these answers, and the world may have less questions to ask because of it.

Thanks for sharing your info bro, I'm sure someone will have found it useful, or at least is glad it's there.

Its called necroing. As in necromancy. Threads that are old and have been left to die should not be brought back to life unless there's a really good reason for it. Replying to a post months old to answer someones question does no good. Ya think dude is still sitting in his XDA foam chair 6 months later going....."omfg its broke plz someone just post an answer!" Lol. It keeps the forums cleaner if we let those threads die .

Does i777 have same QUAD CORE GPU like in the i9100?
Honestly, in the time it took to post the question, you could of found the answer yourself. It's really not that hard, Google is your friend.

Still I'll give you a hand.
