FM chip enabled , No more SD notification after boot & touch screen feels more responsive.
I'm digging it !

I don't believe Verizon ever enables the FM radio on their phones. IIRC they purposely always keep them disabled so you have to use data.

If that were true they wouldn't have enabled Wi-Fi

That would be going to an extreme forcing you to use data exclusively without using other things like your own home internet. That takes it a tad farther than not allowing FM radio.

Either way .. I cannot recall one phone that has an FM radio that Verizon allows. Sorry.

My point was I doubt Verizon prevents the use of the FM radio because they want you to use data...sigh.

Sadly we will never know since they don't ever give an explanation as to why they do this.
