One of the interesting features of our beloved Raphaels is FM radio. Another one is full and correctly working A2DP support. What is bad it total lack of support for listening of the FM radio through bluetooth. YES, I know you need antenna, but short stereo wired headset adapter is usually enough to provide decent reception in urban area. But when you try to route the audio there are only 2 options: wired headset and internal speaker.
Is there any developer or just hacker, that would try to "fix" this? I know this should be provided by HTC directly, but... you know how long does it take
This would be great, real shame it doesn't work.
I think it looks like hardware limitation.
In fact if you turn device audio to A2DP and then switch radio on, you STILL hear all audio from A2DP EXCEPT radio (that you can hear from wired set or from speakerphone - WHILE you hear everything else through A2DP).
As I said, looks like hardware.
I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustreted that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi i recently was wandering if it is possible if i could stream music over the radio from my music from my phone. I had an add on for my ipod nano a while back called an itrip but i was wandering if my phone (droid x) had something in it that it could use to stream music over the radio in the proximity of myself. My friend said that it is possible to use bluetooth to stream it over the radio but i don't know if that is true? If anyone was willing to make that app im sure people would love it. Is it possible?
Sure. If your car has BT built into the receiver. Or you could use an FM transmitter (basically the same thing as your itrip) through the headphone jack on your phone. Or your car stereo might have a straight aux plug-in that you can take directly from the headphone jack on your phone. Lots of options, really.
but is it possible for the phone to transmit through something it has inside to transmit it to the fm radio?
I believe that would be hardware based. I've had a few SEs and Nokias that had FM Transmitters. I think only /some/ Android phones even have FM receivers.

Googling a bit about this, seem to be a very common problem in android devices, not only our port to mini.
Based on the suggestions and comments found in a thread on community.sprint.com, while listening to an mp3, I partially removed and re-inserted the plug but only till the middle of the jack 3,5'' hole. The audio seem to be stereo. The icon in the status bar shows headphones when it's in mono and a headset when it's stereo, but it's very hard to stay with the headset icon
According to someone in the thread, it's apparently due to "impedance" which in non-tech speak means there is circuitry in the phone that is checking to see if you have a headset or headphones plugged in and it's changing the output based on that.
I get full stereo with my original HTC headphones with phone mic!
The problem only happens on audio-only headphones.
This is related with my previous test plugging only the half of the connector.
Look at the two 3,5'' jack: Probably Android is getting the sound from the two rings closer to the wire.
- The HTC headset have three rings, probably use the iner two for both audio channels and outer one for the mic
- Another standard headphones only take the audio from one channel and sound mono
Could be possible to change the source of the channels to the two outer rings?
Toggleheadset is an aplication to change headphones to headset mode. It should solve the problem, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work with froyo
I donwnloaded from the market (toggleheadset2), installed but swithching it of/off don't change anything

Whit my headset Sennheiser px200 3.5 mm TRS Mini-jack (model for iphone first generation) i have no audio problem. (two rings).

I'm not 100% sure, but installing this widget seem to solve the problem. The switch on/off don't work but I have stereo now
I installed toogle headset and i think doesn't resolve the problem.
Looks like we have stereo in android only when android detect headset with mic. In other case , we have mono.
Tested with:
Sansung original headset with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
HTC original with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
3 headset without micro : I have mono but if i introduce the headset slowly and android thinks i have micro (The icon change) the sound change to stereo.
Regards

RADIO FM Works
To ear FM radio:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
I think is the same problem as the stereo sound and mayby the fix will be the same.
Regards.
Hi all
Having got a new HTC ONE I have decided to use my sensation as a mapping/gps device.
I have got tomtom for android on it and in th epast I have just used the phones internal speaker.
My car stereo has a aux in jack so I was wondering if it is possible to get a Bluetooth adaptor to play the audio into the car stereo
But ( there always has to be a but) can I stream music at the same time?
ideally I would like the tomtom to cut out the music but I don't think it out puts the correct profile but even if it just plays over the top that could work.
is this possible or if not would it work via a cabled connection?
thanks
