Using hearphones I have to set volume to lowest setting while listening FM Radio since is to high, but for all of the others multimedia apps i have to set to middle. Anyone have this base volume setting so high for the FM Radio app. The O.S. doesn't have a separate setting just for the fm radio volume, it's right? thanks

Maybe it's fm station problem. This doesn't happen on my phone though. Are you using sound mod like viper4android or Dolby Atmos etc. By the I am using Dolby Atmos.

FM Radio for Wizard
Hi there.
I have been looking for an FM Tadio for South Africa. Which one do you use and is it freeware?
Thanks,
MAC
Am using Resko Radio and it's shareware. You can get a 30 (I think) day user period.
You mean Resco Radio, and that's not FM it's streaming =)
Resco Radio is exactly for internet radio broadcast playing.
Its not an FM radio tuner !!
Any FM tuner available for Wizard ?

Hi Wizzer,
The only way you can control Bass and Treble is via a media player like TCPMP, Mortplayer etc where the software provides several equaliser presets. Mortplayer & TCPMP both have a Bass booster option as well.
Resco Radio does not have that option unfortunately.
I am actually looking for an FM tuner that is freeware/shareware at under US$10.
Thanks,

Is there a way to use the radio without the headset???

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:

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.
Hmmm when I goto the FM radio there is no sound coming through the earphones. Check the volume is up and nothing at all. I have to rescan each time, and that re jogs the sound output through the headphones..
Also the quailty doesnt sound amazing at all, even with technics headphones.
Music player works fine.

When you scroll with your finger to a frequency you have to press stop and then when you set the frequency press play.
Am pretty pleased with the quality myself, all works well, tunes fast, all the RDS data with station name and program info works.
My experience of the radio is that its utter crap. I tested it on a number of strong signal radio stations and all of them come out mono, no stereo from the radio at all.
also the sound quality sounds like a crap speaker sitting in a bean can. hollow sounding rubbish, very surprised that they can make a radio that rubbish these days.
Mp3 player sounds great though, nice clean full sound.
you can listen radio online
I thought I read somewhere that you can listen to the FM radio through the phone loudspeaker instead of the headphones?
If so, how???
You can but you would still need the earphones as they act as an antenna

fm radio .. what about transmitter
we have an fm radio at least one step up from nexus one..
does anyone know if the chip has the hardware for an fm transmitter.. maybe someone can implement an app for this..
thanks
Fm radio is mono or stereo
Pls help.
My FM Radio is still MONO.
FM Radio on SGS is MONO or STEREO ?
For what is still MONO ?
It's stereo
The headphone that comes in the package is not good, please use any other headphone[I used the iPhone 2G headphone] and the FM radio is "stereo"[I have Galaxy S in India], the FM just need any headphone not necessarily "samsung". Try this, I have tried it and it works as expected!
-Pramod
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but how do I check whether FM is running in MONO mode or STEREO mode on my phone?
I use other headphone - Coss Porta Pro. FM Radio is still MONO.
I use active loudspeaker, still MONO.
Anybody has STEREO FM radio ?
Pls help with this problem.
I have radio playing MONO too in my SGS. It's not much important for me, but I think it's serious bug in Samsung's flagman phone that costs more than 500 $ ...
did you people even read the previous message, the #2 reply?
the FM radio is STEREO you just need to plug in a STEREO head phone for it to work.
in areas of poor reception it might sound like mono, but that happens even if you have a $3000 car stereo, it's not the phone fault for weak FM sources radio station.
in my city there is a channel i really like to listen to 103.5 but the reception is very poor on most FM radio at home/work/car unless you are near the source, which is on the other side of the city.
luckly they have Online streaming, so i listen to them online when my FM radio reception is poor in whever i happen to be at the time.
mine always plays mono...

Sennheiser CX300 are the mono headphones you think?
I'd plugged many different headphones, sound ALWAYS MONO instead of mp3-player that STEREO. All radiostations in good quality of reception always mono. It's a bug of Samsung...
Hi,
having the Moto X Play for a few days now, I experienced that the FM Radio app does not work with all headphones. With all in-ear headphones and an audio cable to a stereo, the FM Radio app says "headphone not connected", but when plugging in the jack, the app flashes bright and back again, as if it recognized the headphone.
Music plays over headphones normally, and when forcing radio with headphones not plugged in in the settings, radio perfectly works.
With my on-ear headphones, FM Radio works normally.
Now my question is: Is this a bug in the FM Radio app, or a hardware bug, or are the in-ear headphones just not well-suited for radio reception?
Thanks!
Do your headphones have a Fm antenna built in?
No, is this needed for smartphones?
FM Radio works fine with old on-ear headphones, that were built before smartphones with FM Radio existed.
The headphones don't have a antenna built in they use the wires going to the speakers as a antenna.
I'm using 8~10 year old Logitech earbuds quite fine with my Moto X Play.
So if they're not working properly with one particular set its likely that set rather than the style.
Also there is a moto update to the Fm radio app - it let's you use it without any headphones connected.
The reception really sucks using that way but might work for you.
You go into the radio settings to change that (using the revised app).
FWIW
Ok thanks for this explanation. :thumbup:
Using the radio with the option you mentioned works. So I suppose/hope it's not a hardware bug of the Moto.
help

same problem
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!
