I have some LG HBS-700 stereo bluetooth headset, but can´t fond the way to hear FM radio through it, the radio app only shows the option to hear by wired headset (that are plugged ofcourse) or via speakers....
Haven´t try with others headset but don´t think that do any difference
Some else with the same issue ??
The fm radio needs wired headphones because it uses them as an antenna.

Just not sure if this is going to be possible. My only suggestion would be to use an app such as Tune In Radio (or any app that will stream the station you want) and then BT Mono (if needed) to get the sound out of the bluetooth headset. It streams pretty decent over 3g.
Sorry if this is obvious and doesn't help.

Exactly! And trust me, been trying this for years and one of the reasons I got Photon.
With all my other phones, they had FM App I could get BUT, technically, it was just streaming (in mono) and not all stations were available. You still could not use BT, but speaker was available! Pandora was my new savior. EVO 4G the same.
Photon has build in FM receiver. Your not listing to streaming, you get a radio station just like your home receiver BUT it needs help with getting strong signal, hence you still need wired, but you get way more stations.
I have though, found some good stations on Pandora!
Thanks guys .. I will try it...
Also will try BlueMusic, I hear can work too
Is it possible to play audio via radio on android.i.e setting some frequency ex 88mhz..and we can play through fm recievers(similar to bluetooth audio) in cars.
My friend showoffs using this feature in nokia N8..and i own a galaxy note..plz help
I don't know of any android devices with an FM transmitter built in. Many have FM receiver hardware, but you need different hardware to transmit.
i agree
i agree. i understand u want to play in the car. the chinese has FM music player(music via FM, have english song program),called DoubanFM. is english if your phone is english. you can change MHZ program, they have many program you can choose. you can pause the music, or change the music. but right now is still need WIFI conection, hopefully they will update to FM~
First android phone I've had that has this issue.
I have my phone paired with my car's OEM bluetooth (confirmed by my car), but everytime I try and stream a song it still plays through my phone speaker instead of my car, even though my car shows it playing. I've used 5 other android phones with my car with zero issues. Any ideas?
With the sim card issue and now this, I'm thinking of returning this phone.
I have no problems whatsoever. What rom are you running? Details?

I'd say its a simple menu option on the phone. Mine is perfectly happy to play music and navigation instructions through the Bluetooth. Are you able to make/receive calls through Bluetooth?
Try something for me.
Open up the YouTube app and at the top there will be a blue button. Press it. This toggles sound through speakers/Bluetooth.

I have never had your problem however. Since i have and the DNA after i paired the phone with my car. While in the Bluetooth setting i had to click the radio option to connect it. It never would automatically connect till after i did that. Now it connects when i turn it on.

My wife's DNA autoconnects ever since we originally paired hers to her car, and I don't remember having to enable anything beyond just the initial pairing.

Only one of two things I can think of:
- You get into the car with another device connected with AVRCP capabilities, and it's taking priority over your car's media audio connection. Thus, you're left with the car connected to phone audio, and your bluetooth headphones/Jambox/etc. playing music. HOwever, you specifically mentioned the music was playing through your phone speaker, so the only other possibility is...
- Go into settings, Bluetooth, and click on the sliders/settings icon next to your car's connection name. Ensure both Media Audio and Phone Audio are checked.
Beyond that, I would try unpairing all your Bluetooth profiles and reconnecting them. BT has been pretty finnicky for me, across handsets and accessories.
Sense devices haven't worked well in my car. Other devices have seemed to work a little better. But my car is a 2005. So think it depends on the car software. You might try upgrading the firmware on your car's setup if all of the other options fail.
No BT music streaming here too

I also do not get why my dna won't stream through BT in my car or truck. I mostly listen to Pandora...I know there is a BT setting in the app and I have it enabled. I can receive/make calls fine but if I want to stream Pandora through the vehicles speakers, I have to plug in the 3.5 mm jack. In my BT settings on the dna, I only have Phone Audio, no option for Media Audio? In BT settings, under Advanced, there is FTP server (not checked) and Message access, which is checked and that's it? I have not tried another music source to try to stream, but I'll try that next. Update: just tried Slacker radio and it doesn't come through the vehicles speakers either

Where exactly is this "radio option" you mentioned? I do not see any setting for that in Bluetooth on the DNA, maybe you have that option in your BT settings in your car? Can you actually stream Pandora in your vehicle through BT on your DNA (stock?)

There is a Bluetooth audio streaming problem with the recent non-GPS Toyota head units. I have a 2012 4Runner, and I'm only able to get the Google Play Music app to stream for a few seconds. The phone thinks it's still working, but nothing is getting through to the stereo. There was a thread about this started over on Rootzwiki. I've been told that the stock HTC music app will work, but in don't keep any media on my phone. I've tried Audible, Play Music, and Dog Catcher. Bluetooth calls work just fine.

It isn't enough that your head unit is "Bluetooth enabled". There are many capabilities: phone, hands free, BT audio, etc. On many models, only phone capabilities are included. For BT Audio to be output, you need a head unit that is A2DP capable (above, I typed AVRCP, which is incorrect - AVRCP allows the BT device to control playback...the RC stands for remote control). A2DP is the profile the BT device (in this case your head unit) uses to tell the phone what capabilities it can handle. In this case, it's only telling the phone it has headset capabilities, and therefore will never output audio. Solution: get a new head unit, or just continue to use the 3.5MM jack, which has two benefits: it's ****ing free, and you can take advantage of the Beats Audio amp within the phone.
FYI, with stock Hyundai, Kia, Ford Sync head units, I've been able to output all audio: Google Music, Pandora, Slacker, DoggCatcher, along with all system sounds and notifications. I really don't think this is a phone problem, it's usually something going wacky at the car's end. See bluefoam's comment above about having to enable A2DP in the car's settings. Never seen this, but proof of the idiocy of head unit makers sometimes.
Hope that helps. This doesn't seem to be an issue with the OP, because he said he'd been able to play music over BT with other phones, so I'm intrigued to know if this is a problem with an unchecked box like I mentioned, or if there's something else going on.

Yes, very helpful, thanks. And yea, its really not a big deal to plug in the jack...my car and truck both came with audio jacks so at least there's that.
One more time I ask my question that I see in other forums still unanswered, since 2007.
Is it possible to listen to FM radio bringing some mobiles (eg S3) using bluetooth headset?
I know it takes physical headphone cable antenna to do. I have no problem to plug some wire if that is necessary.
But I want to listen to the radio (not streaming with apps like tunein) via bluetooth.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I do not think it's something SO difficult. With the application of native MP3 music player on my S3 I have a choice if I want to output to the external speaker or bluetooth.
How hard is it to do something similar to the radio?
Is there no cooked ROM to do it?
thank you very much
No it is not possible because the earphone wire acts as an external antennae for the radio. If you don't believe me, grab an old pair of earphones that don't work and chop off 2/3rds of the cable. Plug it in and go on FM radio app and output sound to speaker. It will work fine.
Kind Regards
Dave

I know that the wire is necessary as antenna. I wrote that in my text.
The thing that I want is to connect a wire in the jack, and to have the possibility of redirecting the output thru bluetooth.
Hi,
it is possible, check if your device is supported by Spirit fm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296
Using a digital audio method enables output over bt-headset. :thumbup:

Many thanks Chillmann. I have just installed SpiritFM in my Samsung S3 and it works. But I have only two alternatives in Settings/Audio/Output: headset or speaker. I don´t have alternative "bluetooth".
Yes, because there is none such alternative ^^
U need to change Settings/Audio/Method (select a digital method for ur device and all the sound will go throu BT as long as a BT-Device is paired with ur Phone. U cant even force sound back throu wired Headset unless u disconnect from BT)
Maybe the Free Version doesnt provide this option
I have bought the paid version and it works perfectly!!! Finnally I can listen to the radio thru my bluetooth intercom when I am riding my motorcycle, and without streaming. Many thanks.
My FM Radio and madiatek fans in 2021 Lol, you may be able to listen to FM Radio, using the stock fm radio app, through bluetooth.
My case is the Blu G9 Pro on Android 10 mtk6771. I also tried my old Blu R1 HD and also works.
Simply:
1. Connect wired headset, (still required) for antennae,
2. Launch fm radio app, pick a station and play as usual.
3. While fm is playing through wired headset, connect bluetooth headset.
Fm radio audio is redirected to bluetooth headset automatically.
This will need to be done each time you want to use fm radio with bluetooth.
Why is this important to me? I am rooted with magisk and Viper4Android installed. Now I can enjoy free FM Radio through Bluetooth headset with the best audio quality using Viper4Android.
What'd y'all think?
