[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Can anyone confirm that the Sprint variant uses the same Broadcom BC4335 combo chip and same audio chip as the International variants with FM ?

Sprint models with bad ESNs are plentiful and going as low as $250 on Ebay and if the FM and audio chips are the same I think I should/may join the G2 owners crowd. :)

I understand that the NextRadio app works on the Sprint version; I'm not sure if NextRadio runs on other G2s, or if the LG FM app can work on Sprint.

[MENTION=3575078]mikereidis[/MENTION] hi I' m new to android btw I'm a D802 owner using Cyanogen / PA which I prefer than the LG classic rom, for me radio fm is a must. Searching about this, I only found your app to listen fm radio (not streaming).

So if D802 will be supported I will buy the app :D

Yeah, you have to have a Sprint phone or pretend to use one with Chrome extension APK downloader.

"...not supported for device lg-g2" on the int. D802. Is it hard to adapt such a program or give it information as if it were installed on a Sprint device version?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
/system/build.prop editing may be all that's needed.

I've peeked at some of their code and have seen some of the device stuff, but don't remember too much. But maybe just change ro.product.device if that's different.

Anyway, too close to Christmas for me to rummage through their code right now. Maybe next week.

Merry Holidays... :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicLogins:
Thank you for your interest! If you want to test something simple just ask, I just tried to change build.prop in my D802 using ParanoidAndroid 4 with the sprint version showed

and reboot, but now the message is "FM radio not supported for device lg-ls980" :)

Also tried with stock changing only product.model , same thing

Happy Holidays btw :D

Dev id

Thanks for trying! I hope someone will figure out how to get it working?!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
OK, I looked again. There's so much code in this app from so many sources, it's not funny. Code from ad networks, reporting and who knows what all.

Anyway, I still can't find exactly where the list of devices is; it may be obscured/encrypted. But I think they use "android.os.Build.MODEL" which corresponds to ro.product.model. But it might be a combination of values.

Here's all the values the app looks at, besides Android version (some are likely just info to report back to their stats servers):

android.os.Build.BOARD

android.os.Build.BRAND

android.os.Build.DEVICE

android.os.Build.ID

android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER

android.os.Build.MODEL

android.os.Build.PRODUCT

android.os.Build.SERIAL

These correspond to:

ro.product.board

ro.product.brand

ro.product.device

ro.build.id ?

ro.product.manufacturer

ro.product.model

ro.build.product ?

ro.serialno ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicLogins:
I can tell you, comparing my stock 802 build.prop version, with the Sprint one I linked before, I found some vars to have the same value:

ro.product.board

ro.product.brand

ro.product.device

ro.product.manufacturer

ro.build.product

So, ro.product.model is the one that differs, but I couldnt compare the ro.build.id and ro.serialno (didn't find it)

Can anyone tell me if I have FM radio on my D802 which is on a custom ROM?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
The D802 PHONE has FM Radio. Your custom ROM most likely doesn't unless is is based on stock and has the stock apk.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haseeb123:
That's what I am asking for. An apk just like got the stock of camera apk.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Your question was not clear.

To answer it, no currently there is NO FM Radio app for the D802 that works on a custom ROM based on non-stock - perhaps in future you could divulge the custom ROM you are on when asking a question. Information helps.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haseeb123:
OK bro, I am on CyanogenMod 11 for D802 and I miss the FM radio feature here and I will love to find out some way to get it on this ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Mike Reid MAY (and that's a big MAY) be able to get Spirit FM or Spirit 2 to work on the G2 running CM11, but for now it's a no-go. Which is a shame... I like CM11 and I use FM radio every day, but not together ATM.

The stock FM apk does NOT work on any AOSP based ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
I think it's pretty likely now. G2 seems popular enough to support in Spirit2.

I'm continuing to put bids in on Ebay for Sprint G2's, mostly with bad ESN. I'm kicking myself now for letting a new in box device go for so cheap that I don't even want to say, LOL.

So far, once I have a phone in my hands, I'm supporting FM on it within 24-48 hours.

So, gimme 2-3 weeks. :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
as a matter of interest, I have just updated my D802 to EUR-10E from EUR-10B via kdz method. I have posted all the file differences between the 2 in General (partly because the incognocenti have been throwing meaningless speculation around about the changes) and note in particular that the odex part of the LGFmRadio has been updated, amongst other likely infuences. I have noted that the behaviour of the app is better than 10B in terms of its ability/speed to blend and top-cut FM stereo in marginal locations - I know exactly where these are! Much better and almost Sony Z/ZL like now. Ace.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaq1907:
I know it's too early but do you think new Spirit will support D802 Turkish firmwares which has FM radio hardware but disabled by firmware?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
If rooted I'd be able to support any device with the FM antenna connections intact.

If not rooted then maybe yes, or maybe no.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Yes, the D802 has FM Radio...

Don't believe everything on here... some of the respondents don't actually own this phone, apparently.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:

I look forward to joining the G2 club: :) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sprint-LG-G2...1092099286?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4d16a080d6

Been reading a bit about the G2 lately, particularly the impressions of regular users and observers.

Wow, there's a lot of positive impressions. I've written LG off for the last few years. My only LG is an old Optimus One P500 that IMO too many engineering shortcuts were made to bring it down to $200 or so 2.5 years ago.

But between 2 Nexuses and the G and G2, LG seems to have competitive products now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaluNoPeleke:
Great news, hopefully you can also get it to work for other models like the D802...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Nah, I downloaded several G2 ROMs and ripped apart the LG & NextRadio apps at least a month ago. That's how I came up with the Audio-> Method setting for G2.

Interesting tidbit (for me) is that LG has Mediatek chipset support in their FM app; I'm not sure what Mediatek devices LG might have, but I still don't care about supporting them.

One reason I need a real phone in my hands to support it, is so I can run stock FM apps and see what they do in the device and kernel logs and in the ALSA audio drivers etc.

Just reading the reversed smali code in itself often leaves important details undiscovered.

Then I just try different stuff until it works. More or less, LOL.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comk4ver:
Warning: stupid question ahead. If the hardware is "just" grounded out can't we just unsolder the connection and them reconnect it properly? We can probably find a teardown video for both Sprint's and everyone else and compare the two we are of course assuming that the same hardware is running across the board.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zulake:
Looking for this? :) I'm rooted, in case you need me to upload anything or whatever.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
I just say "No" these days. That's quicker than saying:

Yes, with the following conditions:

- You must have thousands of dollars in micro-soldering, rework, etc. equipment.

- You must have the skills to operate that equipment.

- A bit of luck will help.

Modern smartphones are not easy to hardware hack.

I did LOTs of hardware hacking as a hobby, and even a year of component level repair back when CPUs were 40 pin DIPs. But so far the only "hacking" I've done with 20 phones over 3 years was to replace a speaker, no solder required. I wanted to hack the Nexus 7, but the chip is under RF cans and there's no way I can get those off cleanly with a basic soldering pencil, LOL.

Almost all phones have FM/combo chips in them. I think at least 50% are FM disabled. That's an awful waste of capabilities IMO. And in many cases in the US it's sacrificed in the name of corporate profits.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comk4ver:
Thank you for your honest response; obviously you're technical capabilities are way above my feeble level.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxluna:
He's right... everything placed on the PCB, all those soldering points, are done by robots.

I tried replacing just the microUSB port on my Galaxy S2 last year, which looks easy when you see the replacement part.Nope, wound up breaking something, and now I get a delightful pattern of nothing but green dots which grows and grows until the device shuts itself off.

And you'd think I would have learned my lesson before: A few years ago, on a much older and simpler device, I tried to replace the scuffed-up outer casing with a new one. I don't need to tell you how that went.

It goes without saying, but I'll never again take apart a phone (beyond the battery cover). I'd have to use some kind of witchcraft to get a G2 open anyway.

Spirit1 Unlocked also has a new non-digital audio method for G2 now, which saves some power and avoids audio dropouts. Works on CM11 only though; stock and earlier kernels just reboot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golinale:
It also works with LS980 sprint version! thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
LS980 is what I have and it seems almost identical hardware wise. Even a ROM to make it like a D802.

LS980's go as low as $250 on Ebay, especially with bad ESN.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleached45:
There is a lot of talk on here of the Sprint variant. I have the AT&T d800 and was wondering if that device is capable of FM. I am rooted with Carbon ROM (AOSP 4.4.2).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
No, impossible. Even if the FM antenna pin wasn't permanently disabled, there's a chip needed to get audio, and that chip only exists on devices that are spec'd with FM.

The only FM capable devices are Sprints' LS980 and the International (D802 pretty much ?).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronr34:
No Way?

So just to make sure, now that I have AT&T and T-Mobile (The Tmobile will be here in a few days), there is no way for me to get FM Radio on either of them?

Not even if I install a custom ROM?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Impossible means impossible.

There is no stronger word than "impossible".

No amount of rooting, praying, begging, wishing or coding can fix that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronr34:
Just

OK.

Just wanted to make sure because I haven't seen this difference in any of the sites that show the spec...

They don't mention different types of devices.....

Can anyone recommend a good ROM for G2 (one from t-mobile and one from at&t)?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Phone spec websites are notoriously unreliable for FM radio; sometimes it depends on carrier/variant, etc. US carrier websites often don't even say.

Mahdi is popular, and I'm enjoying Vanir right now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comk4ver:
I even asked earlier to open up the whole phone and undo the solder in order to liberate the FM Radio. The person who answered was an experienced soldering expert who advised against it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
If the quote was something along the lines of:

... then the quote is mine.

I did a lot of soldering, de-soldering and PCB repair work in the 1980's.

But I have no skills and virtually no knowledge of the multilayer PCBs and SMD components that came in the 1990's and 2000's and 2010's...

AFAIK, stuff like this is very infeasible. Much easier and likely cheaper to just buy a new phone, especially if you sell the older NON-FM friendly phone.

Among other things, you would have to pull off the RF shields ("cans") over all BT/combo chips and that's difficult to do without destroying the PCB. Then who knows how many layers to un-short the antenna pins connected to a ground plane or 3, unless you are lucky enough to only have to destroy a jumper.

In the history of smart-phones, and maybe even dumb phones, nobody has ever done this and lived to tell the tale. Only a few of us have even thought about doing such a thing and written about it on the Internets.

FM is dying, slowly but surely, though more so in the 1st world with omnipresent data connections. And Google and Apple and US carriers at least are doing almost everything they can to kill it off sooner.

Hi

Can someone please give me a step by step idiots guide for getting rid of all the cr@p that orange put on the m500, thus making the phone run quicker?

I haven't got an SD card reader, is that a problem??

Cheers.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oma:
If you just want to get rid of the pre-installed software, you can do so quite easily: Just do a hard reset (hold down power button while pressing reset). Then, after you have finished the touchscreen calibrating stuff etc., there will be a popup saying the device will be configured automatically in 3 seconds. Now, do a soft reset at exactly this point and nothing will be installed. The ExtROM is still there, you can look at it with the file manager and manually install any of the programs you want.

If you want to completely remove the ExtROM, thus increasing the size of the Storage folder, then you need to do the BigStorage hack. It's not too hard, there are many good step-by-step guides available. A very good one written by HBK can be found here. You will definitely need an SD card reader though.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ryanben:
If I do the reset, will I lose everything else that i've got stored??
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oma:
Yes, with a hard reset, RAM is cleared and you will lose all data. Unfortunately, that's the only way to get rid of the pre-installed programs, as you can't uninstall them the normal way. Your calendar, todos, etc. won't be lost if you sync it to your PC first, but any settings you made or 3rd party programs you installed will.
