Hi,
Does the nexus s have the hardware to function as a fm transmitter for use in the car? Found this mentioned in some of the nexus one forums. Nothing concrete though.

Has anyone else noticed that with the FM Radio app that you cant use Bluetooth headphones? Maybe this is only caused on the leaked 2.2 because I did not try this on the 2.1. How would one go about fixing this concern?
From what I know, the wired headphones act as the antenna, so I don't know if there can be a workaround.
+1... No work around. This is by design.

I would like to know if its possible to bring up FM radio on Nexus S like the Nexus one. I would love to have FM radio on my Nexus S.
It's not possible now. I think nothing has been done about that in development forum

well it doesn't have an fm receiver right? so it'll never happen.
Actually it does. The Bluetooth chip is an FM receiver too. Maybe wifi also.

ohh... interesting. so why isn't it enabled? there must be some reason. interferance? i've read that apparently nfc can interfer with other components.
Not sure. But from the ifixit website (they dissected a nexus)
Hidden underneath an EMI cover is the Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.
The chip reads: BCM4329GKUBG TE1043 P21
According to UBM Techinsights, the chip is a low-power package with 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1, and FM capability.

nice, maybe then it's samsung's fault with driver issues?
Yes. Even I came to know from other websites and links that its the same chip BCM4329 thats present in Nexus one. So I guess its possible to add FM radio support unless if the chip specifications had changed.
Looking for something to give me both handsfree calling and allow for audio streaming to my car stereo. I was looking at the tunelink at bestbuy for audio streaming, only it does not provide a handsfree calling solution. I do not have an AUX input otherwise i would use the belkin aircast. Also portability is important. Has anybody come across something that will do both?
hey,
hit up Wireless wave. they have a bluetooth speaker that does exactly what youre looking for. Its made by Jabra
Thanks just saw the same thing at best buy today. The Jabra Freeway. I think I am going to get it. Its a little on the large side as it has 3 speakers, while I don't need any (going to use the fm transmitter) but have not seen anything better yet.

I have read mixed reviews with that one. Do you do any audio streaming? If so how is the quality? That one is much smaller than the one I saw.

Motorola T505. Its handsfree and will either play music. on built in speakers or stream to car stereo using built in FM transmitter. Great quality sound, I have one
Thanks got the cruiser 2 today going to try it for a few days and if it does not work well, I may try it the Motorola.

I read online that the galaxy tab 2 7.0 uses a Broadcom BCM4330 chip which has an FM Transceiver and Bluetooth 4.0. But when i bought the tab, there was no FM option in it and the box said that it had Bluetooth 3.0. Is this a software issue ? If so, is there any custom ROM that supports these features ?
I sure would like that. Loved it on my evo.

Why not use an app like TuneIn Radio? I listen to FM and AM stations from all over.

Cause it uses data.. Same thing happened with my n1, didn't get FM until I ran cm7.

W FM radio will be great in car dashboard instead of radio

FM receiver and transmitter ? ... that means I can start my own tiny FM radio company ? lol
thats even cool. you can play tab on your car stereo
good morning
I'm wondering if there is a kernel/rom that allow to listen fm radio off line.
thanks
Nexus s doesn't support FM radio
IT doesn't have the hardware. Use an app over wifi or.... Hmmm... Use a radio. What are the like 3 dollars for a battery powered portable radio. Honestly. I :banghead:

Buy one of those headsets that has a built in radio receiver,because NS doesn't have a radio for, well, um, radio. according to the laws of conservation, we can't just materialise a radio out of nothing/nowhere, no unless you're magic, NS won't have a FM radio.

Hardware it's inside the BT chipset, but it's missing the necessary wiring to make it work, as well the kernel driver...
