Is possible hear radio without cordless for example with a Bluethooth headset?
Like other HTC phones with an FM radio, reception is dependent on having the wired headset plugged in as it is the antenna for the radio. Without it plugged in, you won't get any reception.
I suppose, however I have never tried it, that you could stream the radio over A2DP to a bluetooth headset as long as you have the wired headset plugged in as well to act as the antenna. Maybe you could wrap up the headset and keep it in your pocket plugged into the phone - seems like a pretty bulky solution though.
Hope that helped - good luck!
Thank You PSARGENT but I tried already and don´t work. Anyone knows any trick for it?
Also, if psargent's suggestion works, be careful that the headset you plug in must be one with a microphone built in (e.g. the headset that comes with the Touch Cruise) because it is the cable to the mic that is used as the FM aerial so a simple adaptor that just connects the audio outputs to a 3.5mm jack (e.g. the Boxwave adaptor) will not provide an input to the FM aerial.
Edit: I just saw that our posts crossed and that psargent's suggestion doesn't work.

This is the only part of the phone that I don't like. Why can't you use a BT to listen to the radio. Sure, I can see that it needs the wire for antenna purposes, but why can't you have that plugged in and listen via BT?
I install BTAudio, and hoped that that would solve it, but it didn't...
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 Guys
i'm wondering if using the FM radio facility on my phone will work OK through to Bluetooth A2DP headphones? I know I will still need the cable plugged in to act as an aerial.
mine will not work as bluetooth headset when something is connected to it's headset connector
that seems to agree with everything else i've heard on other forums ..... sadly. Thanks for helping anyay
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.

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

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.

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.
I did not see this listed here so I though I would let you all know about a nice device that will let you stream music and voice to your car using your aux port. I set this up in my car and love this device. I now have hand free voice calls in my car thanks to this device.
Voice - when you get a call the audio will come through your car speakers. The mic picks up your voice very will.
Sounds - The music quality sound great using this a phone with apt x support. I now only use my phone for all my music in may car. You an also use any app in your car. Google Music, Pandora .. ext.. will work in your car.
Just wanted to share this with you all. Best 40 bucks I have very spent.

Thanks for your input
I didnt have a bluetooth capable radio until now so I actually dont know how it works. Does this mean I wont be able to answer calls and listen to music simply by pairing the two devices through bluetooth?

I think you can still use this just for audio and your raido for your bt calls. I know i cant be set like what for cars that have bt built into them. You may want to try out it. The audio quality for music is great. A lot better then just using standard bt
This accessory thing is awesome. I replaced my FM transmitter after I got a new car with an AUX port. Sound quality is infinitely better and best yet, this thing is very discrete, you can hide it on the dash behind the steering wheel so that it's in conspicuous. It matches my dash so it blends in

One question: if the car radio has a Aux In port why dont you just connect the S4 headphone jack to it, instead of using that device?

Because this thing isn't just a transmitter, it also has a mic so you can take calls. It's a handsfree device as well.

If you have a bluetooth enabled car, there is no reason for you to get this. But not all cars with AUX also have bluetooth. My car doesn't.

My car has Bluetooth for calls. And aux in which I use for music via the headphones jack. But this device is good because it means I can get rid of the headphones cable and use Bluetooth instead. Much tidier. And good quality audio too.

You still need a cable. There is a cable that is directly connected to the receiver. It's pretty long too, I had to wind it up.

Also remember that his is apt x support. even if you car has bt built in, your audio quality will not sound a good as this. I use this set up everyday now.
