[CrackBerry Question]

I bought a new BB Motion mainly because I wanted radio on my phone. But when I bought it, there is no radio.
I download the updates and my phone is upgraded to latest security pack too but there is no Radio.

HOW DO I GET THE RADIO ON MY PHONE ? I feel like crying and feel like cheated !!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but nowhere on this page is FM listed. Maybe the seller falsely advertised?

Sorry, the Motion doesn't come with FM radio. The seller either mislead you or the false information is listed somewhere.

The official information from BlackBerry Mobile showed FM radio, at least at some point.

Never happened though.

Checked specs, unless I missed something, there is no mention of FM Radio.

l checked b4 I bought when it was released. It was known then that it did not have FM.

Weird... . because Motion was almost a direct copy of another Alcatel phone which has FM and most BB branded phones do have FM. But.... not Motion.

I keep hoping for another touch screen with FM. We'll see.......

In fact.... That's why I am visiting here right now. To see if there is any news on a new touch unit.

Merry Christmas!!!!

He's looking for a "new touch unit."

Yes, sorry. My comment was misguided, more about pointing out that there was a BB10 slab option that had FM radio.

There isn't now, but there was once, however briefly.

And if you put it in test mode there's an FM radio test, for whatever that's worth

Get a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. Same specs as Motion and with Pie has radio. Great phone £150 cheaper in UK. Runs BlackBerry Manager and apps just fine.

There are plenty of online Motion Spec sheets showing FM radio. Google Motion on GSM Arena. Indicates on all Motion Builds. I know this is an old post, just putting this out there. Cheers

Ironically, we actually discussed this in another thread recently.

It would be more helpful if you put "out there" that your Motion's FM radio was working fine. There is no question about the FM Radio being listed in the specs..... doesn't change that it doesn't work.

BBMo site did list FM Radio as well - for a short time, then it was pulled.
Doing a *#2886# show there is radio present in the hardware.
NextRadio which many use with devices that have an FM radios, but they aren't accessible out of the box - see it, but can't tune it.

I don't know if a "connection" is missing, if some minor component was not added.... clearly it was meant to be, but something happened and it not like many other devices where there is a back way to using it.
