FM Radio

[rjf172]

Is there a "secret" FM transmitter built into the Droid 4 like there was on the Droid Bionic?

By "secret" I mean that Motorola & Verizon forgot to allow the built in radio to show on the device.

I believe you mean receiver, and from what I recall, the D4 does have a radio. There is information available if you search for it. I believe it can be operated with an app that was ported from the Droid 2, if I'm not mistaken.

I use TuneIn app. It works great, gets all local stations and a lot of other from around the world.

I use it too, but that is not what was meant. TuneIn gets radio stations via the internet, not native FM, so a) a data connection is needed, and b) probably not all local stations, only those with an internet feed.

There is an FM tuner built in. On Gingerbread I used "Spirit Light" to access the FM tuner. This no longer works since the upgrade to ICS.

UPDATE: I forgot you have to be root for "Spirit Light" to work. I re-rooted and it is back.

my d4 doesn't seem to work for FM radio. yes, i have headphones plugged in. i tried the bionic fm radio apk when i was still in GB and it just FC'd. haven't tried it now that i have the OTA ICS. that same apk worked fine on my wife's bionic so i know it wasn't a bad download. i didn't think i'd need to do anything besides plug in headphones, but maybe i missed a step somewhere?

was about to try FM Radio by sutton shin from the market, but it specifically says "only motorola except droid/milestone 1,2,4" (which i take to mean that it will work on d3).
