is it possible to use internal FM radio (e.g blackstone fm radio) as a build in FM transmitter to transmit sound from my phone to my car radio? is it possible by software or is special hardware required?!
Dont think so.. A receiver is not a transmitter. its like trying to burn dvd with a dvd player..
that was my thought either, but it also was just an idea how our devices hardware maybe can be manipulated by software for a different use. and I won't think about the example with the dvd-burning in a dvd-reader, more like using a mic as a speaker, when you plug it differently into e.g a dictaphone ... or something
I don't believe that you can.
It seems to be possible on some chip like BCM4329 that is included in some phone (desire Z or nexus 1). Don't know if some mod ever used this FM tx chip.
Hi,
I own a GT540 on Android 2.1.
I was wondering if it's possible use the FM radio without headset? It appears, on Windows Mobile, you can tweak the registry to allow this. Is there's a software level solution to make FM Radio work without headset on Android?
Yes, I'm aware that headset acts as an antenna and you need it to get a good reception. But, at times, it would be convenient to use the FM Radio without headset even if the signal is weak.
It's also possible to insert a fake plug to make it appear that a headset is present but am looking for a software solution.
On my Huawei U8110 it is enough to put in just jack, without any cables ... it works very well

Thanks. I know that just pushing something that fakes a headset is enough. But, am looking for a software solution.
hi ... i dnt knw yet any software like tht ... bt if u wnt to listen radio via wifi or 3g without headset so there is app called "tune In radio"

Data is expensive here and wifi can taken granted only at home/school/office.
yes, Data is expensive. have been searching the same for awhile. no clue.
My previous Wm6.5(Aer S200) does the job.
still looking and waiting for solution
Hmm, I will try stalking AOSP when I get the time.

The app would have to support this, although hypothetically the system software could be modified to fool the app. Or if you could somehow crash or otherwise disable the code that detects headphone jack insertion events that could work.
I HAVE found this annoying with the HTC app. I've developed an FM app that doesn't have this restriction. See my sig for details.
On my HTC Legend I can receive some strong stations OK with no antenna. My HTC Desire HD does much better with no antenna.
FM radio and sampling.
This kind of post makes me wonder if sampling the mic input in some non periodic (not at an exact frequency) rate, and if the sample and hold before the ADC works fast enough, that the FM band maybe decoded by the correlation of multiple sample rates. For those without an FM radio. Exact timing of the sampling would be critical, so not sure if it could work on some devices. But anyhow, probly too much low pass on the mic input.

I tried your app but it doesn't work on my phone. Perhaps, the chipset is not supported? Do you have any idea where the trigger for headset is?

Ok, was that greek? I seriously didn't get what you were saying.
duchmk and
my old xpress radio 5030 from nokia did that very well !
well, replying to the title,
is there any app/mod that can play FM without headset..?
thanks in advance.
Finally, this is possible or not..?? :/

I found it possible on my Galaxy Mini w cyanogen mod on Spirit Radio app. Signal was weak, but with bluetooth enabled it works perfectly. Now I want to have it with standard firmware, but it's impossible, because sound is going off after turning bluetooth on.
try this
this is spirit fm radio
Where can I find/buy a fake earplug to will trick my Samsung Galaxy Note II that a real headphone has plugged in?

i cant find singal...:/ but app is good
I found a very simple way to do this (at least on Sony Xperia with Android 6.0.1). Connect the headphones, open the stock radio app, tune to the frequency, then go to the Settings>Apps>FM Radio and click "Force Stop". Now you can unplug the headphones, the radio won't stop playing. The only problem with this is that you need to connect headphones to change the frequency.
Where to get app?

Hi!
I've just installed arzakem's Android to my HTC Touch Find (2.6.25 kernel + casacristo's RLS18 ROM)
It works pretty fine.
But anybody is able to use the FM receiver? I've discovered this app: Spirit FM Free (Search at Market). It has lots of options, chipsets, etc.
If I put a frequency of a local broadcaster, the signal meter gets higher!! And if I move the earphone cable (antenna), the signal meter "moves".
So I understand that this app is able to make work the FM receiver. BUT... does'nt sound anything.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Is there a way to get BT 4.0 LE things working with this phone, I mean i know there might be some hardware limitations but i thought all the radio's (inc BT) were SDR (software defined radio) ? Has anyone been able to pull it off, or is there some hw tweak (or adapter) that would allow this phone to communicate with BT 4.0 LE devices? (ie. tile, etc...).
Now i understand that the stock ROM lacks all support for this but what about Emmanuel U's new KK 1.4 ROM for instance? Would just a new ROM give you added functionality (BT 4 LE) or are we pretty much stuck with due to HW chip (sorry if this is seemingly a stupid question but I thought all the radios' were software defined - and therefore be upgraded via firmware to the latest standards?

I don't use BlueTooth, but it seems to me that if a new standard was to be supported firmware-wise, it would have to show up in the device tree, and those things are usually very static (because things tend to blow up if the device tree gets modified too much).
If a radio update was available, it would have to be by someone who really knows what they are doing (i.e. the original development team). I think Emmanuel U advised someone before to not flash the radio. He probably has his reasons behind that one, and would side with his opinion.
This makes logical sense as i surely don't want to brick my device, by messing with the device tree. So definitely thank you for the advice.
Hopefully if someone ever figures it out (and its reliable) they'll post on the board here.
Thanks again
The Qualcomm MSM8260 platfrom was still Snapdragon S3. It wasn't until Snapdragon S4 that Bluetooth and WiFi were packaged on the SoC.
The Doubleshot uses a Broadcom BCM4329 for its secondary radios. It is most definitely not capable of SDR functionality.
Does anyone know where we can get the Sony Fm radio for our device? I've checked on apk mirror and none of them are working!
FM radio is either physically absent or disabled in firmware, so no app will help you to get it. From my investigation only Japanese models can support it (probably).
But others are using sometimes the same hardware (Snapdragon) and FM is enable on their firmware. Does someone knows how to modify kernel to activate FM on Sony's firmwares/kernels ?
