I went to use the FM Radio on my Lumia 830 recently and it wasn't there. A search of threads seems to suggest the FM radio 'app' would have been removed in a recent 'upgrade' to Windows 10.
Since when is the FM Radio on a phone an 'app' that can be removed at the whim of a software upgrade without the owners knowledge or permission????
The FM Radio is operated off a chip on the phone, to the best of my knowledge, so it is HARDWARE NOT SOFTWARE!!!!!!! It should be totally independant of the Operating system.
I don't use the FM Radio on my phone often, so I don't know exactly when it was 'removed'. This is a pretty basic feature. One should not have to use data chewing apps to listen to local FM broadcasts. Apart from which, what if you want to use the FM Radio when you are out of phone signal range?
I have now had to 'download' a third party app to use the FM Radio on my phone.
I am also now wondering if downloading and using one of these apps has contributed to the latest problem with my phone - The microphone has ceased working for phone calls and Cortana.
My next phone will DEFINATELY NOT be a Windows phone!!
