[Q] [HW] External FM Antenna - General Questions and Answers

Most of our phones and tabs offer an FM-Radio which uses the headset cable as the FM antenna.
I want to connect my tab with m home theatre system, using it as the central source for FM radio, as well as the music library.
Does anyone know if and how I could connect an external antenna to the tab. Using the headet is obviously not an option. Obviously one of the headset wires is being used as tha antenna, but which one and how could I hook it up with the antenna jack coming out of the wall??

Heads up - bluetooth car radio at Lidl, UK

I've just got a bluetooth car radio from Lidl - this one
Its quite cheap but has a lot of functions - bluetooth phone connection with external mike, usb and sd card sockets, aux socket, front ipod (earphone) connector, sub out, remote control.
But surprisingly, it supports A2DP so sound can be sent from the PDA over bluetooth - great for sat-nav and playing mp3's. I'm using BT Audio Router to send all sound to bluetooth.
Its on special offer for this week, so it may sell out quickly.

Broadcasting your own radio?

Is it possible to broadcast your own music over a distance of 10 cm with the TD2??
We have some problems with the radio.. so i want to broadcast my own station
Search the internet for "FM transmitter", one example: Belkin TuneCast
You also need a adapter from HTC miniUSB to 3,5mm audio jack.
Do you really need to buy something?
Is it not just possible with a program?
I do allready have the converter to 3.5mm jack
So is a seperate transmitter necassary?
Think the D2 has a FM-reciever not a FM-reciever/transmitter.
So Im afraid you need an external device like a FM transmitter.

Is it possible to use the FM Radio without Headset??

Hi everybody
Is it possible to use the FM Radio without headset on hd2??
change the value in Registry HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset value 0 to 1 but i canĀ“t find radioprogramms...
Do you have any idea???
the headset actually is needed because the wire also work as antenna.
So, no headset -> no wire -> no antena.
I don't know if you can change the behaviour with that registry key, but one thing that you can do is short the 3.5mm jack pinouts to simulate the headset.
Otherwise use the wonderful BRadio software.
You will be able to listen to all the radios you want without the headset... directly on the speaker.
Of course it' s streaming, so it means data.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you short the 3.5mm jack, wouldn't be all sound transferred to "headset"?
I tested the radio app yesterday and I found that the radio can be listen through the speaker, but you still need the headset as an antenna.
Just insert a 3.5mm into the HD2, even if it's only the jack.
You have only to make the hardware to recognize that a jack is inserted
Made this on Diamond. It will work even on HD2.
But remember that the headset cable is used even as antenna, then if you don't use any cable but only a jack you'll have a bad reception

[Q] [Idea] Itrip android app

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.

[Q] FM Transmitter

Does anyone know if there will be a wireless fm transmitter app for the xoom or if there is can anyone send me a link
That would be alsome, one of my cars i don't have bluetooth so i would still be able to use the music player
The hardware to transmit on FM bands does not exist in the Xoom, cannot happen.
I wouldnt go that far, I've opened up my Uk3G Xoom and theres a blank miniPCI header in there, bit of soldering, get a card, device drivers and off you go surely?
just use the headphones out into a 3rd party fm transmitter. there are tons of modulators out there for ipods and other music players. I'm absolutely positive the xoom cant do it. Card or no card.
If your car has a AUX in then you can either simply plug in from the headphone jack or get an aftermarket bluetooth reciever. I know there are some from Belkin that get decent reviews.

If FM is your only option, there are some BT speakerphones that will also pass BT audio to an FM transmitter. I have an older Motorola T505 BT speaker phone that worked pretty good and it has a FM transmitter built in. My only issue is that the airwaves around Chicago are packed with so many small local stations that it is very hard to find any clean channels. The other option would be to just get an aftermarket FM transmitter, lots to choose from.
