[Q] Headphones and radio? - Desire HD General

When I press the play button on the headphones it automatically opens mspot program, is there a way to make it load the radio instead? and to use the FWD/REV buttons on the headphone wire to control radio presets?

Nope, as the handsfree works as an antenna
probably no, because the radio uses the wire of the headset as an antenna.
edit: ...one minute too late... ;-)
i know. but is there no registerkey to change that so you can even work without the headset ?
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....Category=CB077B5C-390D-4153-8EDD-44D1B2BEF716
I was thinking of getting one of these, then you can plug your HTC into any HI-fi, speakers, car radio, other headphones etc...
Yes there is a registry change but you need the lead plugged in as it has the aerial built into it.
Any way of plugging in the handsfree to work as an aerial, but route the sound to a pair of bluetooth headphones?
Thanks
(BTW what is the registry entry to allow the radio to work without the handsfree?)
My Diamond is link to PC at work, is not possible for the radio uses the wire USB ??
My radio works fine with only this guy pluged in.
this works very well with this connected up on the telephone and sound commuted to go out on internal speaker
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html and works with sync usb cable pluged in
But it is impossible that we can not avoid plugging headphones avoiding this check?
With a modified version of the "Radio" program?
as said earlier, no, there is no antenna for the phone to recieve the transmission
A hardware cannot be replaced by any kind of software...

Radio over BT Stereo Headphones
Ok, but still it would be interesting how to change the devault sound out properties, in case of using nice BT Stereo Headphones?
People keep talking about this FM radio thing. How/what does one start to control the radio. I don't see any application (Sprint version of HTC Touch Diamond - Did those bastard disable this?)?
At my gym they only provide the audio program for the TVs there over a short rebroadcast FM station. Sorta like what some drive in theaters do. IOW to listen to the audio for the TV I must tune into 106.9 FM but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to do that with the HTC Touch Diamond. OK I plug in their silly wired headphones and then do what?

not different from any other FM radio with presets. from the Manual:
11.4 Using FM Radio
FM Radio allows you to listen to FM radio stations on your device. Since FM
Radio uses the provided stereo wired headset as an antenna, you must plug
in the headset first onto the earphone jack of your device before you open
the program.
To open FM Radio
Tap Start > Programs > FM Radio.
The first time this program is used, it will automatically scan for available FM
channels in your area, save them as presets, then play the first FM station
found. For information about saving favorite stations as presets, see “Save
presets.“
When you tap on the FM Radio screen, the program continues to run
in the background and allows you to continue listening to the radio while
you use other programs. To turn off the FM radio, tap on the upper right
corner of the FM Radio screen.

RTFM! (Read The Fucking Manual)
here, i uploaded it for u:

He asked about the Sprint (US, CDMA) version. Before you RTFM someone, maybe consider that *his* phone is not *your* phone? There are at least three variants of Diamond.

point taken but are u sure that there are serious differences (if any) in using the FM radio or maybe you think that his (US, CDMA) version came without a manual or that in his manual there are no instructions on how to use the FM radio? i still think that this is a severe case of RTFM
ready to bet that his version of diamond has the same way to operate the FM radio.
Back to the thread
Ok,
but the question is still: how to get the radio working without the special cable?
I live at 1850 m, 700 m to a DVBT, 1.4 km to the next HSUPA and 1.9 km to a radio antenna and I have a verz good reciption ov everything.
Even I would accept using the cable as antenna but routing the sound to the bt headset. These small programs routing audio, I will give them a try and report in case of te FM radio.
Meanwhile, perhaps, some of the gurus can find out how to disable the nasty cable check please...
Thanx!

i m afraid that is a hardware trick so no soft or registry tweak can change it.
maybe if you have an old usb cable, cut the cable and use only the usb plug you'll be able to trick the device in "thinking" that the antenna is in place.
later
nope, no go...i tried and plugged in a plug and it still asking for his headset. maybe some circuit is checking if the headset is there.

FM radio features

As you know the Surround has a built in FM radio receiver. If you open it with out earphones plugged in it will not open until you plug in headphones that function as an antenna. However, after you plug in headphones, if you tap and hold the current frequency it gives you the option to turn on the internal speakers. Also, after the radio picks up the station info, you can add it to your favorties list and it will appear in your list by hitting the *. I would like to fashion an antenna to plug in using the 3.5mm jack and will post when I figure out what materials to use although you can cut off the ends of an old non working earphones and roll it up into a circle..that may work sufficiently for strong stations.
I would use your idea to use a set of old headphones or cheap headphones. Seems like the simplest solution.

Low bluetooth volume

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. My g6 connects to my car everytime but the volume is much lower than when I have the radio on sirrius or even fm stations. The bluetooth volume on the phone is all the way maxed and I can actually max the radio volume without it being that loud. When on FM radio, I won't get even close to maxing the volume before it's too loud. Is there an equalizer or some audio setting for output? BTW, it's actually the same when I plug the headphone jack into the car with a 3.5mm cable. Thanks for any ideas and advice.
Nobody else has noticed? Could it just be my car's Bluetooth?
I use mine on my car daily with no issue.

I use an app called RE EQ from that play store. It works with music player and pandora, Use the slider on the left to bump up the output. It is a great sounding EQ!

Android headunit (8227L) - call volume / radio volume / mic volume adjustment help (using ZLink for Apple CarPlay)

Hi
Hoping someone can assist.
I bought an Android headunit of eBay. (Brand is Podofo. Android 11 and has a chipset 8227L-Demo. User guide has SHA16/23 on the cover)
see link
https://www.ebay.com/itm/3543608658...84&osub=-1~1&crd=20230131021608&segname=11051
My only uses are: listen to the car radio; make and receive a call (Bluetooth or using CarPlay) and use CarPlay for navigation with Google Maps / Waze.
I have the following problems I am trying to resolve:
If I am listening to the car radio, and then use CarPlay (in ZLink app) with Waze, the radio volume mutes when Waze provides a navigation instruction, but doesn't unmute after - this is really frustrating and means I cannot use the radio and navigation at the same time. (If I use Spotify in zLink it also mutes for an instruction, then unmutes after). Any ideas how to stop this happening? Could it be a Zlink app bug?
When I plug my phone in and use CarPlay (wired), phone call volume is very soft / low - I can hardly hear the other person, yet navigation or Spotify is the right volume level. Any idea how to adjust default call volume?
I have an external microphone plugged in - and the microphone is located near my head by the visor. People I talk to using Carplay phone app say they can hardly hear me. How do I increase the microphone volume pickup?
There are multiple settings menus eg. the headunit, under 'apps' and zLink to has settings. I have looked for volume / microphone adjustment but can't see anything obvious.
Is there is hidden admin menu somewhere?
Many thanks

Hi, tweak all sounds in factory settings (entered with pin code) on the menu SOUND or AUDIO.
For muting audio after waze - reinstall waze app or disable it and then enable it in settings and see if helps restore sound.

Thanks - where do I find the PIN code - do I need to get it from the manufacturer or are they typically generic PINs?

No, you must access factory settings (button at HMI: at the right) in your infotainment menu when asks pin code enter specific pin for your device like 3268 0000 8888 123456 etc.
Once inside hidden menu , go to menu AUDIO or SOUND or VOLUME and set audio volumes
Hi, I bought same device.
It looks perfect but...FM radio app I do not like.
Just that do not permit to save radio station name on the button. Am I wrong ? If is not allowed, is possible to change radio app ?
