@Larry XK the manufacturer probably won't, but the carrier will. That's why some versions of the same phone will have the radio turned off. The carrier most likely wants to sell data, so they'll push the consumer to streaming.
It's because smartphones dont have the antenna for the radio signals and radio in smartphones can only be listened to through wired headsets because the wire of the headset acts as an antenna for the FM radio, and as you know the high end smartphones today don't have an headphone jack, so that's why they can't play radio on them.
Best way to fix this problem is by hard wiring the antenna to the frame of the phone or use a wire running the height of basically it runs from the bottom of the phone to the top of the phone just under the out edge of the screen no earphones needed after doing this simple change to the phone the antenna is built in.
On the bonus tip: its not "cookies". It happens because the stylesheets (CSS files) are loaded after the page itself. Nowadays web developers apply different techniques to avoid that. The 2nd time the stylesheets are already in the browser's cache and that's why the styles are applied instantly.
Back in 2012 i had an iPhone 4S with a 6000mah battery (truly enormous back then) and I was able to get about 3 days out of a single charge, I just taped it to the back of the phone and wired it into the original battery through a hole in the back cover, easy These days it's nearly impossible to pull off such a feat without completely destroying the phone itself, wireless charging coils, or the back cover
Discoveringbands by Michael Nagy well that thing "performance issues" you can turn it off on the battery section.... But if you turned off your phone will turn off itself without warning if your battery health is very low. But simple fix is battery replacement.
#5 3:52 battery expert explanation smartphone no removable battery have several reasons 1 is preventing you to extend your phone life without having services 2&3 preventing people from buying cheap counter battery that can overcharged or explode, most build-in battery charging controller only work with the original or certified battery since battery have different current and capacity, this also true with some charger and cable that build-in protection 4 It preventing your battery from damaging when you drop your phone on the floor since if the phone dropped on the floor without a case the battery and phone back cover will separated (4) it kind of as*** if you can't find them......... I don't know is happens to any of you but when I got a phone with a removable battery and if I dropped on the floor the battery will expand it size look like want to explode and no longer fit in the phone (this happened to me 4 time with Samsung, LG, Motorola and my old Nokia old school phone) and finally 5 making the battery non removable is one of the method to make your phone water proof or better water resistant.

Many smartphones have the FM chip in them, and are activated. Last time I looked, however, Apple stated that iPhone 8 and 9 do not. Additionally, I do know that the Qualcomm modem, which many smartphone manufacturers use, has an FM receiver built in by default. It is up to the manufacturer of the phone to activate it. The FCC has been asking manufacturers to include activated FM chips in smartphones for emergencies. If the cell service were to go down, there would still be FM radio to get important information.
In the event of an emergency, and the internet is down, all FM chip should alreasy be unlocked by default. It's a safety feature. Yes, you'll still need to plug in some headphones for an antenna, but it should be already unlocked.
I personally stream/download most of the music and podcasts I listen to on the web. That being said, I think manufacturers should unlock the radio chip by default. In the event of emergencies, FM/AM radio signals could be used to send out alerts to even remote areas where cell service is spotty or non existent. Just a thought
well i dont know about that if for iphone but glad i have on poco x3 pro its really great to use and easy also can update over time in system app xioami is great
For the last tip: It is not cookies what it doesn't have yet, cookies are meant to retain user data and preferences, among other things, not stylesheets. Normally, files on a webpage are saved into something called the browser's "cache" so that in future visits to the website, the browser doesn't have to download all the files again but instead retrieve some of them from its "cache". So instead of saying that it has no cookies, one should say that the page has not been cached into the browser yet.
Useful info and tips indeed, my only dispute is with the notion that "(smart)Phones don't have FM". A lot of smartphones DO have FM and is readily activated on the phone when you purchase it. Maybe, few new models don't FM but a majority do. I think that, that statement of phones not having FM is premature. Maybe in the next few years, the would be no FM but for now, a lot of smartphones (high-end too) have active FM in them. Thank you.
"Why are there non-removable batteries at all?" "Well, technically there are, but they're swiftly becoming history." No, they're actually becoming more prevalent! Where did you get this "history" stuff?
Oh, since when, @@cameronretason5073? The farther we go into newer devices, then fewer ones have removable batteries. What are those being replaced with then: air? No, duh.
My FM radio works, but I have to put my headphones on to work it, however I use radio apps that stream channels that I can't put on my ten channel radio, and I don't need headphones for those radio channels. My phone has a removable battery, so I can get a new one from my manufacturer. I charge my phone with its legitimate charger on a fused plug board with surge protection which I recommend for all devices and domestic machines. I never plug anything other than my fridge, directly to the mains.
As a rule of thumb, most phones with a headphone jack have fm radio enabled. Just need to check spec databases like gsmarena if you want to be sure, otherwise apps like nextradio can enable it on most phones with headphone jack but with the receiver disabled.
I use the FM radio chip quite frequently. It doesn't require data. When you're in bad areas where you can't get the internet it works. I'm glad I have that FM radio on my phone.
The bit on removable batteries was overstated and an argument for planned obsolescence. I don't need to open doors with my phone, so I don't need a phone as thick as a credit card. There are more than enough people to create a profitable base of removable battery phones.
@@techsmac3293: You don't know that, because you're not a mind reader. Besides that, either way, it has the sound of a contradiction anyway. So try to understand real life before reacting to it.
Same for the battery comment: removable batteries take too much space in a technology that's ever getting smaller, while just before they were wondering why smartphone always become bigger? I really hope that this ever growing size comes to a stop. I've been using a really small Nokia Asha 311 (only 2" wide and 4,5"high) and really wish a real smartphone was available in this size. The smallest new smartphone is almost double this size, and I don't want to stuff my pockets with such a beast. And yes: that Asha 311 has FM radio and a removable battery and can easily last for a week without recharging.
Kinda funny how the galaxy S5 had a removable battery, was waterproof, had a memory card slot, had wireless charging, had NFC, was durable, and was thin and light Planned obsolescence is definitely at play these days
The fact radio is disabled in most smartphones is disgusting and should be downright outlawed. Radio is extremely useful and works as a redundancy, if nothing. It's also free.
Am/FM radios would be nice to have for severe weather and other emergencies. If cell towers towers are damaged or something else goes wrong with cell companies, the public would still be able to get emergency messages and directions.
Most Android phones have the radio, whereas my iPhone 8 doesn't have . I mean even if it is so old , compared to my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S10+)
Ronnie hopper All 5 of mine do too. Just need head/ear phones to get it going then unplug them if you want to listen on speaker. I thought everyone knew that LoL
I listen to my Kentucky Wildcats play basketball on the radio when it's not on TV. Having fm radio on my phone is a blessing. But it's the only one I've found that does. I think all phones should have fm radio.
DC is not inherently weaker than AC. The adapter converts line current (120-240 volts AC for most places) to a much lower 5 volts DC. It's not the AC versus DC conversion that makes it weaker, it's the conversion to the lower voltage. The cord to your device only handles the low voltage - not much chance of getting a shock unless the conversion section of the charger was poorly designed... in which case, it's likely gonna fry your device LONG before it zaps YOU. The biggest issue with 'cheap' phone chargers is some of them can get really HOT, even if they're just plugged into the wall and not actually charging a device. It's why I advocate unplugging your phone chargers (both from the phone AND the wall) when they're not in use. That goes for car chargers as well. If you ain't using it, unplug it.
FM radio is a very useful feature when unlocked. In a disaster situation or when far away you may be able to receive information with no mobile connectivity or cost. FM and AM is free to receive unlike mobile-data/podcasts - and works over a much longer distance - because it is a Broadcast When Radio Broadcast is removed - people have to Pay to receive Any Information.!
@@hichigoshirosaki3665 I have the LG Aristo... It's older (2015) and has been unlocked by T-Mobile for me. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. It's a perk of completing a contract with some service providers.
@@MadDragon75 Thats what i have too....except i have it through Straight Talk wireless...i get unlimited talk text and data for $55 a month with no contracts
