Is iPhone 6 capable of receiving FM signals?

Most of the apps out there "stream" the usual radio stations.  I do not want to stream, I want to "tune in".  For that, one needs an antenna.  So the question is, is there a built in antenna?  Or can the headphones act as antennas?  I found a couple of apps that asked me to plug in a receiver to the Lightning jack (e.g Griffin).  But it baffles me that such an advanced piece of equipment is incapable of receiving radio signals.  My old phones were capable of this, but my recent phones have not been.

The iPhone does not contain an FM receiver.

    I have an iPhone 5, yesterday it wasn't receiving any signal. I reset it and when it cam back on it said plug into iTunes, i did that but now it comes up with error 9006 and 39. What do i do, i have tried different wires, and different plug in holes, I've left it for the night and tired again this morning.

    Error code 9006 is related to the computer's security software settings, 39 is not listed inResolve iOS update and restore errors try turning the security/anti-virus software off if you are using something like that.  Then you may need to restore via the recovery mode since that is what the graphic of a USB wire connecting to iTunes means, it has already entered recovery mode...see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for instructions on recovery mode restoring.

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

  • I have an Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 and have read that it is capable to receive the Weather Emergency Alert system. I have also been told that it will not. This is confusing. Can someone at Apple clarify. If it doe not work on this phone is a download available?

    I have an Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3 and have read that it is capable of receiving the Weather Emergency Alert system. I have also been told that it will not. There is no option in Settings / Notifications. This is confusing. Can someone at Apple clarify? If it does not work on this phone is a download available?

    Apple usually doesn't participate here, we're just users.  Have you done a search for an app for Weather Emergency Alert in the app store?  It certainly doesn't come built-in in the iphone.

  • Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 on ios 7 (t mobile uk) only receives 2G signals not 3G.

    My iphone 4 on ios 7 (t mobile uk) only receives 2G signals not 3G. 3G only works when network settings are reset. Not sim problem because it works on another Iphone just not on mine. I tried contacting t mobile they gave me boosts but worked for 30 minutes and then back to 2G. I tried restoring without back up and everything. Any suggestions?

  • IPhone not receiving wireless signal

    It keeps on saying Searching. I am on Verizon and within area with service. It has not worked since updating to iOS 6.0.2

    I know this may seem stupid, but did you try unplugging the router and then plugging it in again? That's always the first line of elimination. If you have, then try replacing the router, there may be something wrong with it. If both the MacBook Pro and the iPhone cannot recognize the wireless signal, there is an issue with the router. Security should have nothing to do with the devices recognizing the signal, just whether you are able to use the network or not. Nothing masks the signal from other wireless devices. (In other words, it will always show up in any WiFi devices "available networks" section.) The only way it would not recognize it is if the Wireless bands don't match. (i.e. Wireless G device with a Wireless N device). However, the majority of the upgrade wireless bands work backwards. I suggest switching the Belkin out for a Linksys, Netgear or AirPort and see what happens. I'm putting my money on the issue being the router.

  • My iPhone 6 is stuck on Signal Search mode

    My iPhone 6 is stuck on Signal search mode since the morning. I have rebooted several times, and also updated to iOS 8.1 but still stuck on signal search mode. It's not a carrier problem. Can't make or receive calls. Please help.

    Hi,
    I'm from Israel and I also have the same problem that began today. I have an iPhone 6 bought from the US in november and today it suddenly didn't connect to a cellular network (stuck in searching). The SIM works on other phone, and my iphone still didn't find a network with another SIM.
    I tried all the following with no luck:
    - Reset Network, eject SIM, different SIM
    - Upgraded to 8.2 from 8.1.2
    - Upgraded to 8.3
    - Reset Network again
    It's so annoying, confusing and disappointing, I feel I can't do anything now, I do not have a backup phone and I need a phone for work, life, etc....
    I feel like I threw $700 US down the drain.
    Luckily I have a friend going to SF next week and I'll try to send it back with him for repair or replacement in the US.
    Meanwhile I'll suffer with whatever phone I can borrow from some friends.

  • What can I expect of my 4s with wifi  connectivity. My 4s receive a signal from the same router I have always used. My 3G would pick up a signal throughout the house, and my 4s won't allow me out of the room. Is my new phone defective or just inferior.

    4S at my house have stronger antenna than 3G iPhone. Reset Network Settings, tap Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom>Reset Network Settings. If still problem take to Apple for Warranty Coverage.

    Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

  • Can i use 2 channel of USRP at the same time to receive a signal?

    Hi everyone,
    i want to do an implementation of time difference of arrival estimation between two receivers (antenna). I have an USRP  kit, daughterboards and two antennas. There is only one source signal ( it is transmitted in anywhere it doesnt matter).
    Can i use two channel of USRP at the same time to receive  a signal ?
    I need the original source signal and time-shifted version of this signal. 
    Many thanks for your help.
    Sincerely yours,
    Uysal.

    Hello,
    I found this forum post which may be helpful to you.  It looks like you can't receive from the two antennae in the way that you describe.  I think this would require a two USRP setup.
