Is there such a thing as a bluetooth speaker? I've got my TomTom S/W loaded and just waiting for my Rikaline BT GPS to arrive in the post. Just thinking it would be good if the audio out from the XDA II could be piped out to a proper speaker, without the use of wires.
So, has anyone heard of a BT Speaker?
Hi,
Is there a stereoheadset with FM radio to use with the xda II?

if you get a 2.5mm to 3.5mm conveter then you can use all headsets with fm radio
that is unless you really need a working mic and buttons like the normal headset
otherwise i dont think so the xda series dont seem to work with other headsets when it comes to buttons then their own and i havent seen a HTC headset with radio
Thanks ,
I have one adapter, I usually use with a normal headset to listen to mp3.
I have try to search , I have not found a headset with FM radio and at the same time could play the mp3 in the xda.
I have seen the Motorola FM100 but you just get the mono from mp3,radio it´s okej with stereo.
If anyone can point to such a headset Iwill be very happy.
Regards
JoseF

it says it only compatible with some samsung phones or something but it does have a normal connector so maybe it works with others aswell
Just get the Alfa Xlive2 -- works for me and great quality.

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...
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 there any way i can fix it or GALAXY S wouldn't support radio through bluetooth handsfree.

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.

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.
