I know that 98MHz FM Radio needs a somewhat long antenna but I can not see why that antenna should hang from my ears and tangle around my neck!
It makes me mad I can not route FM radio output sound to my bluetooth A2DP headset as I can do with audio players.
If HTC is so dumb someone should find a solution!

Sony Ericsson's radio requires wired headset as antenna too. I gueess this is the norm, but, agree with you that it should be improved.
I agree. There should be a way to connect a pure antenna to the phone and route the sound to the phones speaker or to wireless speakers.
That pure antenna could be a simple fairly long piece of wire or it might be a solid short but high performing radio-antenna.
It really doesn't matter... if the radio waves of the antenna won't kill you, then the Bluetooth will do the job... either way you're f*cked whith cancer...
Also using the headset as an antenna is common practice (Nokia, Motorola, SE, Siemens,...)... you're not gonna see anything new until the backgound technology of commercial Radios will change...

Ok, dumbness is a common practice. So what?

No new technology is required.
No (sensible) people expect a micro antenna for 98 MHz, a 50 cm piece of wire is completely acceptable.
What is required a little less dumbly written piece of software that can route the audio output (obtained using the 50 cm piece of wire pending from, let's say, my back) to the A2DP headset.
Its posible to use the Radio in the FUZE with this bluetooth headset? Because I uderstand that the cable is the antena... But if Im in a place where I have a Strong signal from XX radio station... It's posible?
Thanks

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think its possible because the FM Radio app looks for the headphones plugged in, and when I've tried, it won't recognized the S9's has regular headphones that are plugged in.
It's there a way of create a plugs the phone belives it has a the headphones plugged in? Wich are the pins for the antena? Maybe I can make it...
Is it possible? sometimes i am walking through the street without the headphone, wanting to hear FM, and i cant...
does anybody know a way?
Wavelengths from radiostations are like a foot or more in length.. so you need an antenna thats atleast a foot or so to pick up those radio waves.
The phone uses the earphones as a antenna, so I guess you have to have it to pickup those waves.
mmm... well just have your headphones, conect them, and place them on your shoulder hanging to your back (it can be inside your clothes so no body see it) and put the phone on speaker (or what ever that its called on the radio program)
anyways the phone doesnt sounds too high, are you going to be able to hear it??

Yea the FM volume is too low to listen outdoors. Anyone has figured out a fix? I don't have that problem with Sling player.
I don't know why, but lately I put the usb>3.5mm converter in my phone and started up the radio, and it worked!
The signal wasn't as strong as with the headset plugged in, but it was decent to say the least. Only stations that already have bad reception don't work (naturally).
So yes, it is possible.

i always listen to stuff (audio and video) using a bt headset after converting all sound to it. i use a software called "bt audio" for that purpose. so, if anybody can find a way to receive fm reception without the headset, that'll be great.

Strange, it doesn't work with my Fuze. I have to still plug in a 3.5mm headphone to get it to work.
Anything change in the registry when you put that in?
It doesn't matter if anything changes in the registry or not. Do this: find an FM radio like one of those cheesy little things with the collapsable antenna. Take off the antenna and then see how many stations you can get. If you don't want to put forth the effort, the answer is "None". There's no difference. No antenna means no stations, period. It also seems that you can't just jam any old USB connector in there, also.
Well, my usb converter is very small and cheap, so I'm sure there's no antenna in there. But still my radio works fine with the converter inserted
It makes no sense, but it works.

I just stick my stylus in my 3.5mm jack and it thinks it has headphones, but the some stations are still weak
What about the TV Out cable?
I have a HTC original TV out cable as long as the headset cable. Does anyone know how to trick the device to see it as an antena for the FM radio? Thank you.
Confirmed - My fuze running Romeos latest ROM works with a simple 3 inch long mini headphone jack (2.5mm) adapter without any headphones. Works great on loudspeaker.

Same here, I plug in my chinese 3.5mm adapter and the radio works so obviously it doesn't need anything for an antenna. Someone must patch that software to get the FM to work without plugging in anything.

Actually that 3.5mm adapter has copper wire in it. Even though it's a short length, the phone still uses it as an antenna. Plug in a pair of headphones and you will see an increase of signal.
you can change the headset state in the registry and i ran the program with it like that and saw that i got signal but no sound was coming out.
The only way i can think of not using ANY headset would be a hardware hack to add some length of antenna to the USB port.
It's really down to physics.. here's a link for TV's: http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/siting.html
You may be able to get some signal from a few cm of antenna, chances are you're not getting a very good one.

Could you tell me please where in the registry is the key for the headset state ?!
sure thing. its at hklm\system\state\hardware\headset. change to 1 to make it think you have headphones plugged in.
Hi I have a Samsung SBH-650 Bluetooth stereo Handsfree. I am not able to turn on the FM RADIO, it says "Earphone not connected.
Is there any way i can fix it or GALAXY S wouldn't support radio through bluetooth handsfree.
please provide some suggestions and helps.
I have FROYO 2.2.1

I think there is no way to have fm radio without the earphones.Actually earphones are the antenna for the fm radio.
I recall seeing a hack for this. Search the forums, this isn't the first time this has come up.

Thats what the manual/radio instructions say .

I wish i could listen to the FM radio over my Bluetooth stereo as well.
unfortunately it is not possible
the FM radio will not even work without a 3.5mm plugged in antennae (corded old fashioned stereo headphones, that either breaks apart, or are too cumbersome to carry around..... wires are just so retro)

Dont have a bluetooth set to test this but.
get a pair of normal cheap headphones, cut just the end off plug that into the phone then see if it works with bluetooth.
the reason it asks for headphones is it uses that as the aerial
It can work without them in theory but quality would be lacking.
it gets all staticky
i tried just plugging in an empty 3.5mm spare i had for random projects, and the FM apps does find it, and will start to play FM radio, but quality is worse than 1940s radio
LOL
Then the aerial is needed.
Cut the headphones off and so the wire into your jacket so when in your pocket you can play radio
Sent from my NCC-74656!
You need the headphone connected to act as the aerial...
[edit] My bad - didn't read thread[/edit]
This is what you need : http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mw600?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview
They are cheap and the sound quality is great (Hi-Fi), they have a build in FM-Radio. Using them with my SGS, 8 hours of music playback is not bad..
There is no any bluetooth/wireless headphone in the word by which you can hear the FM radio because the cord of wired headphone is act like a antenna/aerial.
But yes there is one solution for this which I tries on my several Nokia and SE P99i phone.Might this will work for you.
Get the 3.5mm headphone jack from the market
Plug this jack to your mobile phone
Now pair your Bluetooth headset
Now start your FM
Please let me know whether it worked or not.

But if you have 3G just use TuneIn Radio! It's free and got almost all radio stations worldwide!

Haha! Well at least your happy! How about buying an extra battery, battery pack or extended batteries?
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S
You're right, I'm happy having my favourite radio station over the bluetooth ... and I'm already using a momax 2700mAh battery.
The part with my battery being not happy is related more to the huge power drain that a constant streaming over 3G is implying in general ... nothing else. Watching a video streaming over 3G is even more power hungry .
Yeah.. us users are to blame , imagine streaming via 3G + bluetooth headset + internet browsing
I will try with this antenna...
I cant put the link, but you can browse:
"FM Radio GPRS Antenna For Mobile Cell Phone 12dbi 3.5mm"
in ebay.
Hi,
A few questions about the Z5 FM radio receiver.
1) I'm wondering... where is the antenna? Is the antenna part of the headphones' cable (wire)?
2) Is it possible to use any headphones with the Z5C generally speaking?
3) what do you think about the FM radio receiver performance/quality? Is it okay?
Thank you!
I have a standard Z5. But it should be the same hardware and software. It's not too bad signal wise. I find generally you need to select it as mono sound to stop and hissing/crackling when moving around unless the area in has real good signal
The antenna is the headphones and yes most should work fine
