I'd really like to install Sailfish X but I won't if FM radio is not working.

There's a chance but its a bit tricky.
The Xperia X has a broadcom combination WIFI+BT+FM chip, and so the driver for it needs to balance these three things and expose them to the operating system.
Since BT is still a bit shaky I would imagine that getting that working properly is the priority, but after that maybe they will try and get the FM Radio working
But how to use it then for some testing? There is no native fm radio and i dont want to use driod bulk

But they only do IRIS and Xperia X FM radio isn't IRIS

The FM radio is a very important part of an in-car infotainment system. ...so I expect it to be working soon.

I think that normally if it's in the specification of the product, the hardware should have the interface for it, and the Software follow to finish it.
It's in spec, hardware is present, jolla should at last make it functional.
Then when it comes, that is the matter of jolla, but i think that must not be strictly done by the 1st release.
But should appears in a kind of roadmap, or to-do list, or i don't know waht else management process.
If not, then that is a problem for jolla... not implement it or not plan to implement it, is a no-go....

Chap ( 2017-10-19 12:13:54 +0200 )editI am using a Symbian phone and this is the only feature (plus a handful of bug fixes) that I am waiting for before moving to Sailfish. I am not going to "downgrade".
