Someone should sue AT&T for listing "Built-In FM Radio" on their features list, then. And ask the AT&T users what voodoo they're using to listen to it on their phones.

Reality bites. Especially if you're stuck with Verizon. On the other hand, I'm sure they had $ound reason$ for forcing people to stream radio stations over their oh-so-generous data pipes.

And you can't magically deny away a feature it so obviously does.

AT&T:

Sprint:

https://support.htc.com/en-us/020-HTC_One_Sprint/0E0/020/010

T-Mo:

Verizon:

...baleeted.

Maybe it fell off on the cargo ship.

It most certainly is on the HTC One with T-Mobile see screen shots attached.

I dunno, maybe because my rusty old OG Dinc does it without buying a stupid extra device, and because the chip is built into the phone and we'll undoubtedly get a workaround in the future anyway. Maybe Verizon just likes encouraging the dev community or something.

Gotta be photoshopped, because Verizon wouldn't do that. I mean, when people were asking about the phone a month ago, they referred them to AT&T's product page to check out the features, implying they'd be the same. They'd never lie to us.

Say it ain't so, Verizon?

That still doesn't explain why you can't get the clip.

I'm not sure you grasp the concept here.

3 years ago, my smartphone let me listen to the radio without having to pay $50 for a terrible mp3 player. In fact, my old phone still just works fine for this.

The question is, why do Verizon HTC One owners have to tote around crap iphone nano knockoffs or deactivated phones while AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint HTC One owners can just plug in their headphones the way  HTC intended?

I thought you were supposed to be the home team here, but all you're telling me is that Verizon wants us to be fiddling with extraneous crap gadgets while our friends from other carriers laugh in our faces. Maybe they should put that in an ad.

very disappointing, if we're going to pay all this money why should we put up with a crippled version of the phone? i'm sure it's still in the hardware and disabled because they can make more money that way. waited all this time for the one on verizon but might just take my business to at&t anwyay.
