Re: Can't play radio

When you get around to streaming radio, I suggest TuneIn Radio as your app.  I use it and it's quite good.  I've included the link to it in App World:

I hope that helps you.  :smileyhappy:

Re: Can't play radio

To stream radio directly from the airwarves, it is my understanding that only OS 7.1 devices (9900/9930/9870) can do this.

The 9800 is OS6 and won't upgrade to OS 7.1

 

Otherwise, as BillJ described, iHeartRadio, SlackerRadio, TuneIn, Pandora Radio, etc., are application choices which can do this.

Re: Can't play radio

I've called my carrier and they 've told me it is possible, but they don't seem to be able to assist me in fixing the problem. Via wifi, it plays  fine, but on my internet plan, it doesn't.

Re: Can't play radio

I have tunein radio, but it plays only via wifi and not on my internet plan, though I get my mails and access web pages without problem.
