Lumia 928 - FM radio, Why did you not enable it ?

Hey all,
I am really upset about this. For months I have been expecting and waiting GRD2 update to give me the FM radio feature and Now it finally comes down and it does not have FM radio on it. WHY ??????
Nokia publicy said that ONLY the Lumia 620 does not support FM radio. I can quote someone from the Nokia 800 number that the hardware supports it but waiting for the software update. I have seen on a site where the phone was pulled apart and confirmed it has the correct chipset for it. Microsoft enabled it in that version of the software (the version on my phone matches what Microsoft shows). With all the info that I have found, this phone 100% supports this feature, why was it not enabled ?
I use it to listen to sports radio, I can't get streaming but, I can get over local FM. Never mind streaming uses data as FM radio does not use any. MLB wants to charge me $40+ a year to stream games that I can get over FM.
This was a very long waited feature and I sold a HTC 8X to move to the Lumia 928, THe HTC 8X IS getting FM but, the high end 928 does not ?
The phone does not support it is BS, I want real reason WHY it was not enabled. Is this because Verizon did not want it enabled or is this because Nokia didn't want to enable it ?
No excuses any more, what is the story here ?

It's a bit silly to buy something and expect it to have a certain feature in the future based on rumours, not facts.
Several WP8 models lack the required internal hardware to enable FM radio and Nokia never claimed that these models would ever get that feature. The missing hardware could be antenna linkages or even chips but thats irrelevant because it is not possible to enable FM radio on those models. If you want an official statement you need to contact Nokia US directly as they are responsible for that model. The users and moderators of this forum don't have access to information about decisions between Nokia and Verizon on whether a feature should be included or not.
All you can do is either buy an external FM headset, live without the feature or sell your phone. Either way there is nothing more that can be said here or done about it. Arguing about who's fault it is or why it doesn't have it is just pointless.

  • Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?

    Hello
    Why would you NOT enable Loop Guard on switch ports?
    It is disabled by default on all ports.
    Since it prevents loops, in the absence of receiving BPDUs on non-designated ports, why would it not be enabled by default?

    The Galaxy S4 supports Google Wallet, but yet you block it from being used. Why exactly? This is not right. I suggest you enable it before you start losing customers. Is there anybody out there that would like to start a petition? Perhaps look into whether or not this is actually legal? Seems like unfair practices to me. Thoughts?
    Good luck with that.  FCC already did and have left it alone...  My theory is because... Google charges carriers to use allow devices to use it.  At one point Sprint paid to go exclusive for wallet.  FCC can't force you to buy your competitors product.

  • I would like my google toolbar back and all my icons gmail and now with firefox 5 it is not compatiable why did you not ask me before taking them away with upgrade?????

    I would like to roll back to previous version of Firefox that I had, because the upgrade took away Google toolbar which I loved and the g mail icons and Google this and that I had and now your Firefox is not compatible with Google tool bar so I cannot re-install them. Can I have the prior version back of Firefox.

    Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    Any luck?
    Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

  • Why did you not explain how to return a filled form via pdf file?

    Why is there no explanation on how to return form via pdf file?'

    Unfortunately, because IRS forms are XFA forms, the flattenPages method that the tool Gilad mentioned won't work, and neither will Preflight or PDF Optimizer.
    You can fill-in and save the form with Acrobat or Reader, open it in Preview, and select: File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF
    or "Save as Adobe PDF" for that last step. You may have to fiddle with the scaling to get it right.

  • IMessage, why did you not instead make iChat available on iOS5...

    That makes much more sense, and use apple ids to ID. Then com between all devices becomes possible. You could even integrate Facetime there.

    I agree. To have the ability to start a conversation on my computer, get up to go to work, messages are then being pushed to my phone. I then sit down back at my computer log in with my Apple ID and resume my conversations on there.
    I would imagine this would be alogical next step, but the idea of waiting another year to get this functionality sounds awful. NO mention in the keynote makes me feel that this may be the case.
    Related side-thought: I almost would find the use of the Apple ID a little too personal. I don't know about you, but BBM was always something my BB friends used. They would share their BBM Pin with anyone who was interested in talking. (i.e. people met at parties, friends of friends) I wouldn't want to do that with my Apple ID, its my direct email address.

  • Why does Firefox check compatiblity of add-ons every time I open it? Why am I then directed to Mozilla home page? Why did you not answer this question the last time I asked it?

    This is annoying. Iwant to start using a less troublesome browser but I like Firefox otherwise.

  • Why did my upgrade to Maverick result in my not being able to access my Documents in the previous format? Why did I not have the option to change my 'filing' system to use the new 'Tags'? Had reinstall 10.8.5 to access my Documents

    Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
    Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

    Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

    ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
    If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
    * [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
    # The ''Content-Type'' response header.
    # The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

  • Why did you buy E6x and not E6x?

    Why did you pick the one you did, and not the other? We all have differant ways to use our phones. Whick E-series modell did you buy...and why not the other?

    given that all the e-series phones seem to be rather unique, i think this is a self answering question.
    for instance, why would someone with an e60 get that over an e61? its fairly obvious really

  • Why did you kidnap me away from opening my home page and force me to your "introductory" pages that I did not want to see?

    When I opened my Firefox browser this morning, I was "kidnapped' and taken away from my home page and forced to deal with your introductory pages about the "new Firefox." Why did you do this? I already have a mother, so I don't need another one. If it happens again I'll mostly change away from Firefox.

  • Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

    I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore.  I organize my photos inside albums by events.  Why?  Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums.  So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track?  I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web.  What's up?  When will this be coming back?  Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco.  I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel.  Help me out here please.  Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

    What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums.  Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

  • Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

    Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
    I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

    Also note that the option is available in...
    '''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
    Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

  • I took photos and they saved in my camera roll. they were there the next morning. I took more pictures and they are all gone. why did they not save and can i get them back ?

    I took photos on my iPhone on yesterday and they all saved. I looked at my photos the next day and they were still there. I took more photos and now none of the last photos that I took in the last two days are there. Why did they not save? Can I get them back? My storage was not full. I just updated my iPhone to ios 7.1 a few days before.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
