FM Radio not on phone

[SnydersWeb]

FM over your phone is cool, but really only free radio I listen to if AM LOL.

I have the same problem.. though I still installed it just to have it handy.. my gym has TV's that broadcast in FM frequencies.

Only big downside is that you can have a headset plugged in and it supersedes Bluetooth playback, so you more/less have to wear the headset you're using.

I have more/less gotten around the AM thing by getting iHeartRadio. If your local choice AM station is part of the ClearChannel network you can steam it.

I was ~2.5 hours at the Gym.. streaming bluetooth audio w/that app running streaming data over 4G was just murder on my battery. Phone limped out at ~15%. Ordered extended battery...

Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty sure the stuff I listen to is Clear Channel so I will look into it.

I updated my post on the first page with a link to my website with the file. Looks like Mediafire decided to pull the file, we'll see if I get a request to pull it.

I just installed the APK and works great.
Wonder why this was left out?
Also, I dont listen to the radio much, but local sporting events (College, High School, and Hockey) are all on FM radio. Thats why I need it.

It is in the app store- fm radio for $2.00. Plug in your earphones when you install it and it will scan for radio stations in your are and set them up as a list for you. With my ear buds I get great reception and so no more waiting for streaming audio to buffer when I am wanting to listen to NPR while riding the bus.

Just downloaded it and it works great.
Why do you suppose Motorola (or Verizon) would have disabled this function after actually putting the hardware in to do it?

I think it's because it would take business away from the slacker radio app.

Anyway, I also downloaded the $2.00 FM radio app from the market place & it works pretty good on my Bionic. It's very rudimentary, but does the job.
