That said, there are 3 possible ways to listen to the radio on Android smartphones. Here is how to listen FM Radio on Android smartphones. However, most of the smartphones don’t just have the option to use FM radio to listen to our favorite radio stations. But I was in too much of a hurry to pull over and help my non-tech savvy “copilot” figure out how to look up what that black cloud out on the horizon was.Technologies have improved, all latest smartphones come with built-in hardware for all kind of connectivity options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC, and mobile data. But in that circumstance there was internet, phone and an FM radio all right there.

I did once end up among several tornados and baseball sized hail that broke out a bunch of the glass on my car out in the middle of nowhere because I didn’t take the time to check the forecast because I was in a hurry and up until that point the weather was bright and sunny. I have no idea of how that compares to the tsunamis, hurricanes or tornados that you’ve been in. So unless you have satellite internet or maybe a satellite phone or don’t mind traveling to the next town which is over 60 miles away over a a lot of times snowy (it snowed yesterday) steep mountain pass, the only way of knowing what’s going on is by public radio. When that goes out, which it has for a few days at a time, there’s no home phone, cell phone, internet or cable TV service of any kind, except through satellite. Thanks for the tidbit don’t know what stingy has to do with anything, but in my area the whole valley is fed by just one data line. Must have a lot of stingy people in your area. I have survived tsunamis, hurricanes, tornados, and not once I never had access to a fm radio. There are Bluetooth headsets with fm radio that Sony has been making for a long while. I haven't seen any new phone pass the FCC with FM radio. Good luck finding phones with it in the past 3 years. Or I need some sort of small radio that’s portable enough to carry along with my phone, wallet, keys, etc. I don’t care if I have to get a phone from back in the stone age in order to have FM radio.

This Google Pixel 4a I bought does not have FM radio, and it is the first phone and the last phone I will ever buy without FM radio.
