FM radio

Hi all...quick question...do any of you have FM radio with this device? I have all of my MP3's loaded and performed the headphone mod (soddering a set of sony earbuds to the original headset) but the gym broadcasts TV stations on FM. I am just trying to figure out if there a way to do that without carrying an additional device/separate radio??
i looked on the magicain and prophet forums as well as the search...thanks for the help!

Fm Radio_Poor Reception

Hello! I recently bought the xda orbit 2 and I have updated in the original rom of HTC touch cruise. The problem is with the fm radio, which has very poor reception. Can anybody help?

What did you expect from a FM radio without proper antenna?

I can compare with other mobile phones woch have fm radio and is worse!

I agree....much worse than my previous Artemis

any idea on how to make the radio work without the headphones? with the charger cable plugged in for example?

I usually use the htc extusb to 3.5mm headphones adapter. It works (even without the headphones) but on certain stations the reception sucks.

I had the same problem. I bought this http://www.expansys.no/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=154771 and the problem is gone. Nearly crystal clear without an old pot. meter for adjusting sound.

LG KS20 - FM Radio

could i switch between earphone or speaker when listening the FM Radio program, I'm using lg ks20

Nope. Not possible to listen to the radio through the speaker.
The radio sound doesn't go through Bluetooth A2DP either.
Do like I do: use Resco Radio or GS Player with shoutcast radio stations! No problem that way.

Fm radio

Can the fm radio become a fm transmitter? Dumb question I know.

Hardware wise there is no reason why not but the software doesn't exist.

Another question here, Why can not we use the Fm Radio without headset? Does not this phone have an antenna for Radio?
It's so annoying because I am using a bluetooth headset and Desire HD insistently asks for wired headset for signal.

FM antena
Hi, I think that this is a usual think that mobile phones doesn't have a FM antennas built in. It uses your headphone wire as the antenna.

Exactly. FM transmission is using wavelength of about 3 meters, so the antenna should be much bigger than the phone itself to give you a good reception. You can try to fabricate something out of a 3.5 mm jack and a wire, but the results will be more than doubtful. And in top of that the phone will most probably recognize it as a headphones set, so you'll have to route the sound to your BT headset, not the antenna.

Even though we manage to establish a antenna as you said the phone directly gives the sound to it and unfortunately eliminates the bluetooth sound transfer. It's really really annoying.
Briefly you can not listen to Fm Radio with your bluetooth headset, you have to use a wired headset.

Hello dr.m0x, merry christmas,
not only the antenna is quite different for fm radio, the complete transmitting hardware needs a different part of hf amplifier for fm frequencies. Software doesn't help here.
The original headset seems to be optimized as fm antenna, tried another headset but fm radio had poor radio reception.

Additional info.
DHD's FM radio receptin quality is really poor compared to Sony Ericsson WM600 bluetooth headset (including radio).

Does it have FM radio and stereo speakers?

Does it have FM radio and stereo speakers?

I think no FM Radio.

According to a article over at Anandtech - "USB Type-C port on the bottom has matching arrays of holes for the downward-firing speaker and microphone" - so I guess no stereo.

Hi!!
I'm looking around for a decent phone with FM Radio... everyday it's harder to find
I've discarted Oneplus, Mi 5, Huawei... they discard FM option then I discard their phones.
So you confirm 100% that Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (383€/$ now at Gearbest) has FM Radio? (real broadcast radio, not internet or online radio stations!)
Thank you!!

Well, I have the international edition and no FM radio. Sound is good but it is a mono device. Basically if you have a phone which can do 'FM radio' without the phones plugged in.. It will be streaming over 4g or 3g

Can somebody make a mod for stereo speakers like the one we have on mi 5?
