FM Radio, unable to tune radio channel

I can't tune a single channel with the FM Radio app, no matter what  headset I try (all of which worked fine with the Z1C). Changing region, resetting app data, full factory reset, repair via PC Companion = no change.

Anyone else having problems, or do I have a dud? I'm dreading it's the same problem as this one reported by Z1C users and that I can expect the same terrible repair service as described by them:

Please Sony tell me no (and why oh why didn't I just order from Amazon).

Thanks for the reply, I tried it with a new unit and it works just fine with that one, so the original will be going back.

I also tried all the Software-Mojo. Nothing seemed to work.

Then I just went out to try if it works outdoor. It did work, but very very bad. Had to fling around the cable of my earphones just to get a notion of a FM Station I could receive perfectly cleear indoors with the same earphones but my old Samsung Galaxy Ace2 or my even older MP3 Player SanDisk Sansa Clip...

Google Now was never activated...

Yesss, this solved the problem for me. Go to Google Settings and change "Ok, Google" activation in any screen!
