Radio

[thor_n]

I've Shiftphone 8.1 with OS-L.
When will the FM Radio work? There's no app in OS-L.
I tried radio in OS-G with usb headphones connected but it didn't work. I could hear only noise.

Shift have stated that they will eventually integrate the FM Radio app in OS-L, but have not provided a timeline. As you have already noticed, FM reception will never work particularly well. Best results have been obtained with regular cable headphones connected via USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter.

I need to buy usb to jack adapter to listen to radio?
Why didn't Shift mentioned it on their web site?

Because this was discussed in detail during the crowd-funding phase in the Shift Talks and it's a 'gimmic'-feature: A passive 3.5mm jack to USB-C adapter is required.
