Activate FM radio in S5A

[BettysNephew]

Is there a way to activate the FM receiver function in the S5 Active? It would be great to have this feature as my gym streams sound from TV through FM rather than having to carry my phone and ipod. I have seen mention of Next Radio but cannot seem to find out further info.

It seems to be hit or miss on whether it works or not. I would say give the app a try and if it doesn't work just uninstall it. You will get a refund for the app if you uninstall it after a few minutes.

Only Sprint phones allow access to the FM chip. All the rest block it so we are forced to chew up our data. It's total bull****.
