Q. I had bought a samsung gio in Canada.
The service provider is Bell.
There is an app called TV and Radio from Bell, but the radio option requires me to subscribe to an online streaming radio company.
The specs say that there is a FM radio but I cannot find the radio app.
Do I need to root my phone?
A. I hear it's pretty hard to get radio working, but fortunately there is an app that will allow you to listen to radio.Do a search for "Spirit FM Radio" in the market place. You will have to root your phone. This link will be very useful:

I followed the instructions here to root and unlock it, as I have the same phone.

I am working to get the radio working.
Quote from RFD:
"Hey everyone, FM RADIO WORKS on the SAMSUNG GALAXY GIO GT-S5660M!!!!!
Go to Android market and search: Spirit FM Radio. The free download is a 7-day trial, so you can see if it works for you, and if it does you can purchase it (IT WILL)
1) Once you download it and install, go to Settings.
2) Under Settings, click "Audio Method"
3) Select "All," and exit settings.
*The only thing that will be working is the station/song guide, and signal strength.
4) Go back to Settings, and click "Regional Band"
*Default is "North America."
5) Select "United States."
******** YOU NOW HAVE RADIO!!!! **********
If you exit the program and reload it. You will have sound for only 5 sec. To fix this:
1) Go back to Settings, and click "Regional Band"
2) Select "North America"
******** RADIO IS BACK ********"
which phone is better the htc explorer or the samsung galaxy gio?
Q. im gonna buy a phone most probly one frm the above.sooo i wanna knw which phone is better
????
A. The break down between the 2 most popular brands (HTC and Samsung Galaxy) is as follows.
HTC tend to have better screens and slightly more compact hardware for screen size.
Samsung tends to have a better interface (though HTC phones also feature HTC sense which is the user interface for HTC android phones) and better cameras and generally look cooler.
My feeling is that HTC is a better work tool and Samsung is a better play machine, but really they are about the same. I just bought an HTC simply because it came with inbuilt Chinese language support.
Let's put it this way, people I know with HTC or Samsung are both happy with their phones. Personally i would just by the phone that is less popular where you are (which usually means it is a little cheaper)
