are we forced to use nextradio? is there an app that is actually data free? *edit* Nevermind, I learned there is an option to listen to live radio only.

updated the software. But didn't notice the nextradio App installed in my app drawer?

You have to manually download it.

The app is in the Playstore. It actually works fine. be sure to have headphones plugged in, as that's needed as an antenna. You can have FM play through the phone speaker--it's an option.

How do you find the bar code scanner?

How do you find the bar code scanner?

Do you mean the Beaming Service? If "yes", then Play Store>search for "Beaming Service for Samsung".

Oh, I thought it was a scanner.

It's got a lot of negative ratings, but I suspect because it's bloatware. Anyone actually use this service? I'm interested.

Was the FM de-activated before this update?
Nice to know it's there, finally.
