FM Radio

[anon(5969054)]

In GDR2, does it come with an app or do you have to get an app for it? If so, what is the best app?

I think it will just be an option in the stock music app... At least that's how it worked on WP7

in the music app, just like Windows Phone 7, most probably.

Anyone know why FM Radio was removed in the first place? Just curious.

They weren't ready with the functionality when they launched Windows Phone 8. Time to market...

You can get fm radio now through amber update by flashing. However, it has quite a bad interface. Needs more touches for the app

Lumia 620 doesnt support fm radio.

Wasn't removed, WP8 is not WP7, it is WP7 UI improved on top of a cut down version of the NT kernel used in Windows 8. They just didn't get around to porting the FM radio driver for the NT Kernel in time is all, the API even kept the references to the class libraries etc used to control the radio, but they threw exceptions, probably not yet implemented exceptions I can't remember now!
