Wow, that's cool. Have you or anyone in this thread tried it out? Also, how to install an APK to the phone? TIA.User "buckmarble" from Droid Forums has found a working APK.
Fm radio tuner app - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
In case you can't use his download, here's another link.

Sweet! Thanks! I transfer files w/ the USB and found it via Files. That was easy. Is there anyway to raise the limit of 20 presets? I did the auto-find and it exhausted all 20 at 98.9. I didn't realize there were that many radio stations in my area.Yep, works perfectly.
You'll have to push the apk to your phone, either via usb, email, dropbox, bluetooth, then you'll navigate to the file using a file browser and install it.
is it for actual over the air radio?

That was odd how VZW/Moto didn't provide the app even though the hardware supports it (FM radio chip), but thank you again for finding it.Yes indeed! The phone has the software built in (as per my first post), but Moto just didn't supply us with an app. But yes, it's true FM, its not data.
I've been wondering the same thing, but currently no dice

I''ll just have to note the radio stations I have in my car and manually enter them as presets on the phone.
Speaking of car (and I'm going a little off topic), there's a free app available today only on Amazon Appstore called "Car Locator", which does exactly that. I'll test it tomorrow when I go to work (if I remember).

Actually, I simply went to the above thread on my D3 and I clicked the mediafire link that was in that thread and I was able to install the APK directly onto my phone. BAM!!! works perfectly. I don't know why you guys are having to put a PC into the mix.
Yeah, I just clicked the file to download from my phone's stock browser. So easy.
Oops, I suppose I left out the most obvious option...
I just prefer to do all my web browsing and what not on my PC instead of my phone.
It's not that simple. For example, I like to listen to sports talk radio, such as ESPN Radio and "The Fan". Thanks to this thread, I can now do that via my phone.Just get Pandora... I wouldn't want to listen to Terrestrial Radio and all of the obnoxious DJs on my Android. Pandora is much better and there is an app for it. Besides, Pandora doesn't cost anything and you only have to pay for Pandora if you want their full service.
Yeah, that's true, but, like what imnotmikal said, I prefer to surf via my PC.Actually, I simply went to the above thread on my D3 and I clicked the mediafire link that was in that thread and I was able to install the APK directly onto my phone.

IAbout the FM app itself, the only 2 annoying things about it are:
1.) Requirement of headphones attached to it, which it only requires upon start up.
2.) Limit of 20 FM preset radio stations. Auto-scan will fill them up quickly.
