esmail Member Dec 27, 2009 24 0 0 Mar 18, 2018 #8 So has anyone actually tested the S9 to see if it has a functional radio using the Next Radio app?
I illdini Well-known member May 17, 2010 524 5 18 Mar 18, 2018 #9 Mine has a functioning radio (S9+, Sprint, QC 845). Keep in mind, some carriers disable the radio.
