not true,they do it because smartphones constantly transmit data,so they do it so ppl won't have to pay data overage charges.
also if that was true then some carriers here wouldn't be discouraging the use of streaming services. there's plenty of ways to compensate for the lack of FM Radio on the TP2, use them and stop whining.
