FM Radio app

[stew930]

Has anyone tried to side load the FM radio app on the Razr? I believe the app is from the Droid 2 and has worked on the Droid 3 and possibly Bionic.

Does not work.

There is no FM radio tuner hardware in the phone. Hence why.

Droid 4 apparently does though.

There are quite a few specs showing that the razr has FM of course I cant find an official spec list. I know it has came up with a message about a chip is missing but I have also downloaded a diff app that closes when tried to open and another app that says to plugs the headphones in so I do but then it just keeps trying to open which on some phone like the Droid 3 etc I have read about this happening and it was because things wasnt installed in the right folder needed to launch.

I am not sure what part is missing and how it is known as I have tried to search and cant find any info but it does seem odd as many phones have been said to not have the FM and then someone gets it working.

A quick search got these results:

Motorola Razr - Mobile phone reviews | Mobile phone contracts - Which? Mobile

Motorola Best Phone Contracts: Motorola Pay Monthly Phones, Best Buy Motorola Contract Deals, Compare Motorola Phone Contract Deals

Motorola RAZR Review by 3G.co.uk

They all indicate an FM radio.

Mine better bloody well have one when it arrives today, that is one of the things I really liked about my HTC Sensation XE

The app launches on the Razr, but does not set radio stations because there is no tuner. If it were a folder issue, the app would not launch at all, or would crash. The app stays in set-up mode to auto tune channels, but can not.

Assuming specs from third parties are accurate is a slippery slope. What matters is the OEM and carrier specs. No FM radio, but would be nice if there.

Not a FM Radio App, but it does pick up their streaming links: TuneIn
