Hi guys
The T-Mobile MDA Compact III has FM radio.
Does anyone know if the FM radio audio is transmitted by bluetooth? Also the mp3 audio!
If not, I'm looking for a PDA (Windows Mobile) WITH radio that does transmit the radio audio over bluetooth - does such a unit exist?
The reason I want this feature is so I can use my Nolan bluetooth motorbike helmet to listen to the radio!
Cheers
John
I don't know about the phone itself, but I think the helmet would have to be a2dp compliant? I'm not sure the Nolan bluetooth helmets are. I think they only support the handsfree profile.
Was thinking about getting one of those helmets myself. Are they any good?
You can play mp3 audio over the Bluetooth but the radio refuses to play this way, I have tried many combinations/ settings and never got the audio to output via Bluetooth. That said the mp3 audio over Bluetooth is very good quality if a little low in volume - Mike
Just wondering.
thanks
Through the main speaker you can. A headset should be connected though since it works as an antenna. The FM Radio application does not start with no headset connected. I never tried bluetooth.
Very interesting

Does this mean you can switch output between the headset and the main speaker throught the FM Radio application? If set to the speaker, does that output *all* audio through the main speaker or only the FM Radio output?
If all audio comes out of the main speaker that would mean there ought to be a way to bypass the (otherwise know as hardware-) trigger for the headset.
TIA,

Yes, that's correct.

You mean allowing the FM Radio program to run without the headset? Yes, you can already do that with a registry change (someone mentioned in another thread). But I don't see the point of that, as you get zero signal without the headset.
Apart from the headset, you can also plug in the 3-in-1 adapter or the USB to 3.5mm adapter, and the FM Radio program would run.

Hi,
No, that is not what I mean. What I would like to know is if you turn on the radio and set it to output to the main speaker do all other WM sounds (notifications, ringtone or even an MP3 playing with a mediaplayer) also come through the main speaker, even though the headset is plugged in.
It would proof that there must be a way to output sound to the main speaker when a wired headset is connected. A thing that is normaly (or on non FM Radio equiped phones) not possible.
Please give it a try and let me know. And if you have the time, give me a total registry dump of a situation where the headset is selected as output and a complete dump with the main speaker selected. That would make my day
Thanks,
Cheers,
Cacti

And of course, your suspicion is correct. I tried it and could confirm that WM sounds still went through headset. I tried setting the alarm. When the alarm went off, the sound (all the sound, FM Radio + alarm tone) switched to headset automatically. And when I dismiss the notification, it switched back to speaker. And the media player cannot run together with the FM radio. Once I starts the media player, the FM Radio closes.

Hi,
This isn't the answer I was hoping for, but thanks anyway. I gues it means the FM Radio has it's own audio handling. Bummer!

its weak they still havent done this yet chinese rip off phones have dvb-t radio via bt
One of the interesting features of our beloved Raphaels is FM radio. Another one is full and correctly working A2DP support. What is bad it total lack of support for listening of the FM radio through bluetooth. YES, I know you need antenna, but short stereo wired headset adapter is usually enough to provide decent reception in urban area. But when you try to route the audio there are only 2 options: wired headset and internal speaker.
Is there any developer or just hacker, that would try to "fix" this? I know this should be provided by HTC directly, but... you know how long does it take
This would be great, real shame it doesn't work.
I think it looks like hardware limitation.
In fact if you turn device audio to A2DP and then switch radio on, you STILL hear all audio from A2DP EXCEPT radio (that you can hear from wired set or from speakerphone - WHILE you hear everything else through A2DP).
As I said, looks like hardware.
Recently got a dull admin-type job, music helps this along immensely
As a result i'm suddenly heavily reliant on the music player and FM radio on my desire, first port of call for upgrades are the headphones.
Main question is: do i need to worry about headphone hardware for the FM radio? (i know it uses the headphone lead as an aerial), does this need a proper HTC headset or will a standard set of headphones work as well?
Any headphones will work well.
yes any work . I use a Nokia headphone from Xpress 5800
I have few wireless Bluetooth portable speakers.
Yesterday I paired those speakers with my RN7 Pro and they worked good for calls, music, youtube etc. except for FM Radio.
This is totally disappointing.
FM Radio doesn't transmit audio to wireless speakers.
What can be done in this regards?
My other phones like PocoF1, Sony etc. all work good with regards to Radio transmission on BT speakers.
