Is the FM radio chip enabled on LG V20 US Unlocked activated with AT&T?

[David Zecua]

I'm deciding either on the Moto G5 Plus or the LG V20, although the V20 has a great camera and a bigger screen, I'm really concerned if I can get fm radio on it, so can anyone with the LG V20 unlocked with AT&T let me know if the fm radio chip is enabled with the LG V20 unlocked US version with AT&T. Thank you.

I think the answer is no but I forget. It's already been answered if you look through this subforum.

Unlocked version doesn't have FM.

The ATT version does.

So not even an AT&T SIM card can enable the fm radio chip on the unlocked version?

So not even AT&T activation would enable the chip for the unlocked version??

The US Unlocked version (LG-US996) does not have FM radio no matter what. I believe the AT&T branded version (H910) does. The only way is to root it and flash with AT&T ROM but that's not really recommended or worth the hassle.

No need to root. Simply find the radio APK on XDA and install, that's all that's needed on the att version.

Doesn't work on the LG-US996 Unlocked Model
