Just got myself A20 from MetroPCS.  However, cannot find the app for it on the phone.  

I know other A20 phones have it,   

How do I enable FM radio on my A20 phone?

 

Thanks,

Go to the Google app. Mic and request radio and you will get it

the option you are suggesting is using data for stream radio... 

 

I am talking about genuine radio...  It is present on hardware, but many times disabled for some reasons for some phones.  

 

Your proposed solution is not good.

Got same phone, same problem. NextRadio is defunct now and And.10 doesn't support it (or visa-versa). I've been searching for 6+ mos. now and have come up empty. Until someone comes up w/ an app that will access the FM chipset were out-of-luck. I'm going to flash stock And.9 after warranty runs out. Go to XDA developers; see if they know anything. Good luck and let me know if you succeed.

Thanks so much for the pointer!  

I downloaded NextRadio, disabled data and it looks like the plain radio works.  

 

Thanks again!!

As another poster pointed out, go to play store and download app called: NextRadio.  If firmware of the phone allows it, you will have FM radio, if not, the app will tell you

Turn data use off for the old radio experience.
