      Do you not understand how the software on your phone gets there? The manufacturer makes a release and the carriers have it modified to their own spec, often disabling or removing things.

        Yeah, and that’s why it’s a stupid idea to get your phone through a carrier instead of unlocked from the manufacturer.

          Mine is factory unlocked, not a carrier specific model, yet I still don’t have access to the FM tuner inside. It’s better but still fucked with.
