Hello, is there a way to enable the FM tuner chip? If so are there any apps that can run it? TIA.
FM Tuner?
You tried Radio Droid app... ?
VAULT You tried Radio Droid app... ?
That's an internet radio app, which is not strictly what the OP asked for.
That said, I used to use RadioDroid, but now prefer https://github.com/jamal2362/URL-Radio.
swurl I've heard many, many claims that every phone comes with an FM chip but its disabled in software...
Here's why it's important to cite specific sources: something that may have been true once may stop being true. For example, it may have been true in 2017 that some cellular phones had working FM receivers, but that doesn't mean all (or any!) do now.
Here is a specific source: https://www.howtogeek.com/327908/why-cant-i-listen-to-radio-if-my-phone-has-an-fm-receiver-in-it/
If there is a specific source indicating that Google Pixel phones available in 2023 have working FM tuners, that might be actionable.
All I have is this source : https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/204768012/fm-radio-in-my-phone-available-or-not?hl=en I don't know if status "Diamond Product Expert" means that their word id a reference.
If you have the P8 series, I believe that you have USB audio output.
