I just got a Galaxy Note II, specifically the Verizon model SCH-i605
I was under the impression that the phone had an FM tuner in it. Various specs pages around the internet do appear to list that as one of the components of this model phone.
There doesn't seem to be any pre-installed app for listening to FM Radio, and trying to search the play store is very frustrating because 99.9% of apps that mention "Radio" or "FM Radio" are actually internet radio streaming apps from various radio stations across the country. I've only found one app actually meant to make use of an FM Radio chip but it appears to only work with Motorola phones, and only some of them at that.
I was actually pretty excited about this feature and I can't believe I'm the only one who finds it useful. I don't understand why it's so difficult to find almost any info on this, never-mind a working app.
