Has anyone had succes with listening to the radio fm over bluetooth speakers?
I use a cut down headphone jack as an antena and I can hear it from the speaker, but as soon as I try to use the bluetooth headphones it cuts the sound.
The case is that after some trying i have been able to listen to it over the bluetooth headphones but a restart of the phone (update to miui11) has made it to not work again. It doesn't matter in what order I connect the headphone jack or the bluetooth headphones, it doesn't work.
It even can record the radio while connected to the BT but there is no sound while the redio is ON. Even if I listen to MP3 music as soon as I start the radio it goes muted and as soon as I stop the radio app it starts playing the music again.
I know It can work as it has worked for me in the same phone (9T) and previous phones (redmi 4, and pocophone F1). Usually I had to first connect the jack and then the BT headphones to be able to hear the radio.
Edit: Tried with real headphones and it seems that the radio app will output to the jack headphones every time, even if there is a BT headphone connected.

Hi,
somehow I can't get my BT Headset get to work with the FM Radio.
Only the regular headset (needed as antenna) produces sound..
Any suggestions?
I search the forum but could find a topic, is there I any I missed.. let me know.
Maybe im wrong, but i think you have already nailed this one the clue being the antenna bit.
I was asking myself the same question. I imagined two solutions :
1) Take an old headset, cut wire 20 cm maybe from the connector to have an antenna (sort of). But I wonder if there is no side effect (infinite impedance headset supported ?)
2) Maybe there exists special FM antenna who plugs in an headset plug ? I have searched such device, but not found.
But there is, with both solution, a potential problem : if HD detects an headsed (even a false one), maybe sound will not be routed to BT...
But I'll try the first solution one day or other
When using bt headphones, I plug a dummy stereo jack to disable the speakers. So, if the bt is disconnected, music will not go through the device speakers.
When doing so, I noticed that radio works quite well. However the sound is not routed to bt headphones so from the menu the only option is to play through the device speakers. Reception is ok with nothing but a stereo jack, but this doesnt solve the issue of routing sound to bt headphones.
Care to try this

The attached app is for re-routing audio to a paired BT headset. I've never tried it as i don't have a BT Headset
You'll still need to attach an antenna of some sort (e.g. a normal set of HTC headphones with the ear buds cut off so it look's sort of made for the task)

Hi,
I tried it.. but unfortunatelly it's not working..
it's muting the regular output but still no output to the BT headset.
Actually, regular playback is also not working to BT when I use this programm..
thanks for the tip, it was worth a try.. too bad
Regards.
I'm seeing some weirdness with my HD2 when I connect the headphone socket to my car's stereo (via an aux in that I have soldered onto my head unit). Basically, as soon as the jack is connected, the phone resets itself and then works perfectly until i disconnect the jack (when it resets again).
I know the connection to the car is OK as I've tried it with other phones and MP3 players, but for some reason, the HD2 doesn't seem to like it.
Possibly worth mentioning that the phone is also connected to the car's handsfree kit via bluetooth, but this doesn't support A2DP so need the headphone output for music. Also, normal headphones seem to be OK, it's just the line in that doesn't appear to like!
Anyone else seen something similar or (even better) have a solution?!
Thanks
Will a regular earphone work on the HD2. I hate the ones that comes with the unit and would love to use my noise canceling earphones.
I don't care about making calls with the earphones. I just want to listen to the FM radio / music with it.
Since it's got connectors to control the calls, I didn't want to short out my HD2. I searched and found a thread about someone's HD2 reseting everytime the plug in an adapter to the headphone jack. He said it works for other MP3 players, but as soon as he plugs it into the HD2, it resets the Unit and will not function.
i use my ipod earphone to listen to my device
like youtube vids and FM radio
yea, i use sony headphones fine
regular wired headphones will do fine, however i dont know about anyone else, but i can't use the phone mic in calls, i have to unplug the earphones to answer calls.
Okay, thanks. I'm going to give it a shot.
I'm driving and listening to podcasts or music via the headphone jack. I have a cable going from my system to my GS4. Then, I receive a call. I reach for my bluetooth headset, which is also ringing in my ear, and tap the headset to answer the call. But, when I try to speak, the bluetooth headset doesn't do anything. The mic is only active on the phone and the caller can only be heard through my stereo where I was just listening to my media. It shouldn't matter whether a cable is plugged into the headphone jack or not, I should be able to take the call on my bluetooth headset!
Supposedly, this is a bug that Samsung hasn't addressed or do you know of a fix?
I've seen a related thread about this here with no followup:

Is there any solution to this problem now? It's so annoying!
I know this is going to sound stupid, but I wanted to listen to FM Radio on the Moto G using my bluetooth stereo headset.
I took an old earphon and just cut it, leaving about 8 inches hanging from the audio jack. It worked fine as an antenna.
For some odd reason, my Bluetooth headset wasn't getting any audio from the FM Radio app. I started another audio app and played a MP3. Then the audio from the FM Radio started getting mixed with the MP3. I closed the MP3 and then the radio played fine.

Can you elaborate on the exact steps and software you are using to get this to work? I've connected external headphones/speakers to my audio jack to act as an antenna, starter the FM app, then started another MP3 playing app (Apollo, poweramp, Google Music) and cannot get the 'mixing' affect you are describing. Am using 4.4.2.
The only revolutionary thing I've discovered is I can use the Google Play "HF Button" to route the FM radio out the moto g speaker rather than external headphones.
Would love to get FM radio routed out my bluetooth headphones.
I want the moderator to ban me.
