Radio function is useless

I bought this specifically to receive FM radio. Full. It's wrong to spend. Out of. Money. (and time) will bring it back. It cannot receive FM signals. I remember reading that some devices use headphones as antennas, so I plugged in some of them and was almost able to pick up the station. I finally got my mini fm transmitter and held it to the RIGHT OF THE DEVICE and was able to pick up this signal. Weak. The sound quality was disgusting. Better with two cans and some rope. I almost forgot someone said those fist-sized things were wrong. Unless you're talking about an eight-year-old's fist. Little eight year old. They are about 1/3 the size of my average male hand. EDIT: I've since learned that you need to plug in a mini USB cable to act as an antenna. I did this and reception improved, but only slightly. Also, the management is very bad. The only thing it tells you is to adjust oress >> and to adjust down press <<. In increments of 0.1, it takes ten clicks to go from 90 to 91 FM. It takes 50 clicks to get to 104! However, it scans for channels when you long-press the phone button. This takes a few seconds, but then it's all about received signals. The downside is that you have to run this every time you use it. It seems worthy of being included in a guide. Terrible, terribly cheap product with poor documentation. I'll post it back once I'm done editing this review. I hope my comments help someone who owns this, or better yet, prevent someone else from buying it to use as an FM receiver.

Pros
  • Portable speakers and docking stations
Cons
  • Expensive
