The background radio service that Motorola's FM Radio app needs to tune local FM stations. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

FMRadioService drives the FM tuner chip found in many Moto phones. Motorola's FM Radio app, which scans stations, keeps favorites, records and shows song details, depends on it, and a wired headset usually acts as the antenna. It runs only while the radio is playing.

If you disable it

The FM Radio app stops working. Streaming radio apps keep working over data.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

Disable it (reversible)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.android.fmradio

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.motorola.android.fmradio

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

Uninstall for the main user

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.android.fmradio

Restore after an uninstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.motorola.android.fmradio

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
