When I open the FM Radio app, I can't scan for frequencies and hear all the time noise (headphone is connected).
Do the other users have the same problem and/or does someone has a solution?
My radio works. I have tried not with normal headphone, but a Samsung headset. As you know, these headsets does not have a normal stereo jacks, they have another type with the microphone pin. Try it with normal headset. I also have a 3,5mm jack FM antenna from Ebay for smartphones. All phones worked with this via speakerphone. But it did not worked with this phone.
I'm in the UK with an EU model and the radio works fine for me with normal earphones.

Hi all.
If I have the FM Transmitter connected to the headphone jack on the phone and try to use a Bluetooth headset to make/recieve calls while driving, will this work?
I am concerned that the phone will try to output the sound to the car stereo and that the voice will be picked up by the phones built-in speaker.
Thanks for any help in advance.
If it's a standard headphone adapter, it should be fine, I was able to use my BT headset with a Himalaya connected to desktop speakers, but it might vary with devices.
Best bet is try if you already have a BT headset to connect a normal pair of headphones to it and see what happens, it certainly won't hurt it, and the fact it's speakers, headphones, or FM transmitter is irrelevant as it's just a jackplug audio output as far as the device is concerned.
I don't have the BT headset yet - Going to buy the two said items together, but hopefully it works on the XDA/K-Jam or whatever too.
Thanks for the help
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 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 can´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.

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
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.
I found other threads related to other smarphones,and it seems that the POCO X3 is also affected:
I can' t hear the fm radio through my bluetooth headphone. I plug an earphone in the 3.5 mm hole as an antenna, and the earphone works, but can't hear no sounds with the bluetooth headphone. The app Monobluetooth router seems has been removed from Google Play (at least in Italy) and other similar apps don't work. Any help? Thanks!
The cable of the headphone itself is used by the phone as a physical antenna, if it isnt plugged, is just like a radio without the antenna! Thats why the fm radio doesnt work with bluetooth headphone.
