NextRadio and Android 11

[rbcameron]

As I mentioned in another thread, I used to use NextRadio to listen to over-the-air FM radio on my Galaxy S10e under Android 10. This stopped working after I upgraded to Android 11. I'd like to determine whether it's the phone provider (Rogers Canada) or Samsung who is responsible for disabling access to the FM chip.

If you have an S10-family phone in Canada, could you please post on whether you're able to get over-the-air FM using NextRadio under Android 11? Please include your phone provider.

Thanks!

Regular ol' S10, not working on AT&T.

Android 11 deactivated the fm chip on many recent Samsung devices. I read the note 9 still runs NextRadio since it doesn't have android 11.

@sulla1965: Have you read anything about why Samsung chose to do this?

I don't think it's samsung , the Carrier blocked this

Given that this problem has been reported on Rogers and Bell in Canada, and T Mobile (and possibly AT&T) in the USA, but no one has replied that they have FM working under Android 11, it really looks to me like it's Samsung rather than the carrier.

It says contact your carrier

Had to do with Android 11 and battery drain problems, so it was disabled by Samsung.
