On my smartphone, as in many other phones, there is an fm radio reciever. It only works with the headphone pluged in. So it think it uses a wire from that cable as the antenna.
Wich wire would-be that be?
I want to make a cardock and use the fm radio. And connect the standard external car antenna to the phone. Any ideas on this subject?

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...
i love that some htc phones have built in support for fm radio but needing to attach some kind of antenna wire to the audio port is a real pain in the ass especially since i dont have any hd phones so on top of the wire i need the aditional adapter dongle. i was wondering if anyone has made a small compact antena dongle that can just be plugged into the built in hd audio port
this a test of the emergancy bumping sytem
another bump test
that would be a good idea maybe if you have some broken headphones rip off the cord and just put the end in and see if that works.
headset antennas have never worked properly mainly because there is interference from the actual audio signels that are sharing the media. i am looking for a high gain dedicated antena circuit.
I'm don't want to make a lot of music CDs for my car, I was wondering if there is any way I can connect my phone's mp3 player to the car speakers?
Does your car have an aux input? (typically two inputs - white and red), or possibly even jack input.
No idea :|
I only know of that "input" that fires cigaretes where you can connect the mini usb charger for the desire
I have a peugeot 307
Edit: nvm i checked on the net and it seems i have neither of those inputs. Just a simple CD player and fm radio.
Any other way?

so, do you not have a cigarette lighter input? you really should do lol. what car do you have?
you have a few options though.
if you don't have an aux input or anything like a headphone jack sort of input then you can get Belkin FM transmitter. I've just done a quick amazon search and one has come up specifically for desire, which could be good - one good review on amazon. However, I've never tried it.
Specifically for Desire: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-...GTAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292787497&sr=8-1
If not, try the Belkin FM transmitters. There's a few different types, mainly for iPod/iPhone which are called iTrips. But obviously, don't get that if its for your Desire. Just search for Belkin FM Transmitter and make sure it has a headphone jack not an iPhone/iPod connection.
Word of warning, FM Transmitters work on the principle that you set the frequency on the 'gadget' then tune your FM Radio into that frequency on the car. Best way to do it, out of past use, is to have it right next to the radio and use the volume controls on the phone more than on the radio itself.
If you don't have a cigarette lighter, you can get one without it which will work, but not as well.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth carkit with aux inputs is the way to go mate (3.5mm plug and iphone plug are pretty much standard these days), whilst you're at it get a suction screen mount too. Permanent handsfree!!
Buy anew stereo that's got Bluetooth streaming.

A stereo with aux-in slot should be more than enough tho (bt ones are a little more expensive), you can grab one with less than 80$.
cheap solution
my car player has AUX in therefore i just connect a 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable Male-Male (1-Meter) cable and connect the player and my HTC Desire. Its so far good and clear.
I had a Peugeot 307 and it had an AUX in 3.5 socket, it was in the center of the car between the seats on the back of the console bit not on the stereo it's self.

FM wireless transmitter
Hi there
Depending in which country you are you could by a small FM transmitter that you plug into the Desire and listen through your car FM radio.
They are permitted in the UK, but not in many other countries. I got mine from TK Maxx... (hahaa!) for £9.99 and the sound in my car is almost as good as my cd player!
Go to Amazon, Ebay... theres plenty there!
My head unit unit syncs with my phone via bluetooth so I play music that way.
On previous phones/stereos I had an rca to 3.5mm cable that I ran from the phone to thee aux input on the back of the head unit.

Hey guys,
Got a HTC Sensation, would like something which does
1. charge while in car
2. fm transmitter (I don't have bluetooth or aux in my car)
3. a holder in the car so I can use gps easier
I found this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-5mm-FM...613695?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c1d79eb7f
Any thoughts??
Any other suggestions?
I'm in Australia.
Many thanks!
Since that one is a universal dock, it seems to charge from the bottom since most phones do. The problem with that is the Sensation's charge port is on the side.
Also, I'm very very picky about audio and FM transmitters nearly always produce static or some kind of white noise.
My solution/reccomendation for cars without an AUX port is to pick up one of these bad boys: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-cassette-Adapter-3-5mm-plug-/110650779646?pt=AU_Electronics_Portable_Audio_Accessories&hash=item19c34ce7fe
It's a cassette tape that provides you with an aux cable.
Then to cover your mounting needs, just get something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-Mount-Holder-Charger-HTC-Sensation-Incredible-S-/190560511133?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2c5e4aa49d
And it even comes with a car charger.
If you are worried about wires and want this to be a stationary installation, use black zip ties.
If you have any questions or want other suggestions, let me know.
Thanks for the reply constrabus.
Problem is...I don't have a cassette player in the car.
I got something similar off of amazon a few years ago for my MT3G. The FM transmitter worked just fine. I now use it with my Sensation 4G, but my newer truck has an aux. jack so I don't use the FM anymore. The one I got plugs directly into the lighter jack and then I run a USB cable from the side into my phone. I have had it for several years without a problem. Go for it.
I have a fm transmitter with a 3.5 jack I plug it in and it doesn't go in all the way and only plays the left side. Same thing on my EVO but on my transform it goes all the way in and plays both sides. Any ideas on how to fix it.

Question,
Our Galaxy 3/Apollo has a built in FM reciever. Does it also have transmit functionality?
I am curious if it possible to code an app that both recieves FM signal by using a wired head set in the standard way, but also transmit using a modified antenna using a 3.5mm headset jack and a loop or non-loop antenna.
I only ask because I am unsure what FM chipset is in our phone (documentation?).
Bump? 205 views and no answer?
Not sure about the FM chipset, but there is no FM transmitter in this device, only receiver..this was discussed in some thread some time ago..
Thanks. That's a pity as most chipsets have both send/receive...
