I own the one shown in this link
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/201006982/Car_Bluetooth_FM_Transmitter.html
But the one I have is made by Merlin. I bought it from Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop for around US$ 100. It works fine with Touch HD for calls and playing any audio files.
using the venturi mini, it's about £60-£70 but very good quality

You mean, literally very good quality? As in, like wired/CD, no static, interference from other radio stations, hiss? Or good as in "okay for an FM transmitter"? It would be exciting if a good FM transmitter existed, it would save me from upgrading my car!

I'd love to know this as well. We drove down to Italy last year and we used a Tom Tom FM transmitter and it was rubbish. We constantly needed to retune it in the UK and France. When we got to Italy it was impossible to use due to all the radio stations they have.
I found two reviews on this Venturi thingie. The cnet reviewer complains a little about music playback quality, while the trustedreviews.com's statement is that the sound is crap. The user comment in the end confirms. So it looks like miracles don't happen, and a good FM transmitter is still an oxymoron. Alas...
Let me clarify. I have used many FM Transmitters before and this one has been the best so far.
However, I know the quality depends on your location. In Riyadh, when I live now, the spectrum of FM is not very congested, so it is easy to find a good frequency to use. For other locations, you have to try it yourself.
No FM Transmitter can match a wired solution. But, the one I tested was good enough.

Thanks for clarifying - I almost bought the thing!
Just a quick follow-up question - how do you select the frequency? Is there a set of predefined frequencies or can you manually tune it? What's the increment and the overall range (from xxMHz to yyMHz)?

There are two buttons for moving up or down for the frequency. I did not find yet a way to save some settings as profiles. Increments are in 0.1 and the whole FM spectrum is covered.
FM Transmitters
Well, I have Car FM transmitter got for my new car last month. I got it for my dad last month as he travels all time. He finds its great. You can check with Chinabuye, its online gadget store in China, they sell all car accessories including the FM Transmitters for all devices. You will get wide collections of at best rate. I was looking for better rates, i find its quite costlier at other shops like Alibaba.
+1 for the Venturi Mini here.

Ok i just Upgraded the SX56 to the new WM2003 OS.
Since i have not tested the iMate/XDAII, my question is are they the same? Himalaya inside, Wallaby outside?
Info on my tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7617
Some questions about the OS as well since i am new to the PPC platform:
Is there a way to assign pics to contacts for caller ID like the sony ericsson T610?
Can you guys recommend some cool/ must have, softwares/applications/games for the PPC device? Anything that you feel is worth mentioning would be good! Thanls!

Contrary to your comments the SX56 is running way better than my expectations! i have been using various softwares on it and it runs very well
Even using it as a universal remote for my TV/DVD/Hometheater etc.
Phone ringing is finally audible
Phone and contacts list is much more interactive.
reception is bleeding good!
Onboard 32mb sux but i am using the 256mb SDcard anyways so no compains there.
Battery time is awesome
colors are dull
no cam and no blue tooth but for the price i just cant complain! $350 and its not network locked.
So what garbage part am i missing?
it's not garbage :wink:
You can cook your own rom, I haven't seen any rom kitchens for XDA 2...
I like the universal remote part too. The XDA 2/MDA 2/imate don't use consumer ir =\
All you have to do is get a bluetooth SD card or a wifi card, and then overclock the device to 300 MHz

Thnaks man the Blue tooth does sound sweet! got any brands that you wanna recommend? i am searching but i cant find one that will be concealed once in the slot. the one i saw had antennas etc. on em. Maybe i am looking at the wriong place.
Overclock haha! no i aint going there!!! I have a box of 11 CPUs that i fried so i dont think i can get a replacement if i fry the XDA cpu.

It does work well for my Philips TV and DVD, which i operate from my bed, but i have the same issue with my Panasonic Theatersystem, for which i have to sit up and extend my hand
my tv is philips aswell and it only worked at a range of 30cm
about bluetooth and wifi then you cant use sdIO cards in a xda1
and no wifi or bluetooth cards i've seen can work without that

30 cm is nothing !! even my Newborn baby is 48 cms the foot of my bed is probably about 4 feet away from the TV so i am using it at atleast 5+ ft or more distance. It could be the software that you are using. The forst Universal Remote that i tried failed to work saying reinitilaising obexchange please soft reset for changes to take place. second one would work right after learning then crashed. the one from pdawin.com works fine for me. makes me extend occasionally though but works!
So,
HTC Athena = Advantage = X7500/X7501, right?
Assuming so, i read here that the X7501 has lost the front camera, does this mean that there's no video calls on it? Is there video calls in WM6 at all? If i buy a X7500, then upgrade to WM6, will i be able to video call?
And, if a store announces selling a "HTC Advantage", how can i tell if it's a x7500 or x7501? should they know if i call them?
Oh, and can this "phone" be used without a handsfree or is it too much of a brick (I have an Universal today, and it's OK for me without handsfree)
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Yes
X7501 doesn't have the webcam, (the camera on the same side as the screen)
See above.
Yes, it can, but it will be more like a speakerphone and all around you will hear the convo.

I agree but would add - the 7501 is mainly in the US market.
As to using this as a phone held to your head - this unit is much bigger than a Uni (my previous phone was a Uni). My personal epxerience is that I was happy to hold the Uni to my ear. The Advantage is just too big to do so mpore than only occasionally. Use an earpiece.
My experience is that Bluetooth also works better with the Athena than any other phone I've used. Even my Universal. ;-)
I second that Itxda
Using the Athena without a head set is annoying to me. It is much more akward than the Uni. I agree with Itxda that the BT is better with the Athena. I use the LG Style-I for day time, Kenwood KCA-BT100 on the Nav unit in my daily driver and the Jawbone when I feel like it. All work very well with Athena.

The X7501 doesn't have a VC camera since it is intended for the US market only, where the GSM carriers (or any other for that matter) have yet to implement the IMS needed for VideoCalling.
The closest we have is AT&T Video Share Calling, which is a cheap copy- its onle way calling, and it isn't compatible with the VC cameras on Euro 3G phones, AFAIK/have tested.
Thanks so much for all the replies, very insightful. Gonna make sure i buy a bt handsfree with it, preferrably with number display.
Is there any way possible (with any BT device) to display contact name instead of number?
Any recommendations on BT handsfree with big/long number/text display?

BlueAnt V12 has LCD display but numbers only. Good range, great price.
Jabra BT8010 will display names... with a little work. Good range, expensive.
Note that both have a "vibrate" feature which I find very helpful since the phone doesn't have this feature.
Good luck!
Hi2All!
As subject says,is there (on the market)any solution for Qtek 9090 alternative wired headset,(coz original died)..or stereo bluetooth headset,but in both cases,(beside mp3 listening),microphone must B working..with all call/reply functions..
Cheers!
btw,yes..I do a search,but there is a lot of stuff from few years ago..
hi and welcome to the forum.
in fact, we had a headset and storage card discussion yesterday.
afaik there is no fully working alternative wired handsfree. some nokia headsets also have 2.5mm plugs, but with another connector layout (that's what's to be found in the older threads).
if you don't find a replacement original handsfree you can also use stereo bluetooth handsfrees over the a2dp standard. for that, your rom must support a2dp of course. i use a callstel bh19, which is great. it looks like a normal mono headset (candybar layout, no stupid receivers flapping around or hanging around the neck) and you can plug in a 2nd earphone, which comes with it and provides full bluetooth 2.0 a2dp with edr (much more, than the blueangel is capable of unfortunately). sorry, i can only provide a german link:
http://www.pearl.de/a-HPM3478-8909.shtml
and yes, it actually cost 3.90eur once, but now it's back to 30.
alternatively, i hear good things about jabra handsfrees in a certain price range >70eur are really good.

I just got an S3 and I'd like to ask if it is possible to listen to FM radio over Bluetooth.
i connect the standard headphones to enable the FM radio and the only option is to switch output between the headphones and the loud speaker.
I've seen cheap chinese android phones doing that, there should be a way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, help me avoid selling my new toy
Sorry to say but it won't work. The reason (as the app itself already accurately describes in the error message) is that your headphone's cables are used as an antenna for the phone's FM receiver.
FM antenna's are actually quite big (at least compared to other antennas) even when using the so-called fractal design because they use a very slow (roughly 80 - 110 MHz, compared to e.g. WIFI's 2400MHz) frequency. To save space, Samsung moves them to the hedphones on all mobile phones I know of.
I don't know if it still works on S3 (never tried) but on the S1, if the station is broadcasting with enough signal strength, you could cut off the plug of old broken headphones and plug it into the phone to use the radio.
Afaik Spirit FM (now paid in all versions) can override the requirement but you'll need to press your finger to the jack so you can receive anything... pointless.
Alternatively you could use an app for internet radio such as TuneIn; most radio stations (at least all around here) provide web-streams for on-the-go radio listening. However you should make sure you got a decent internet flatrate, I managed to chew through nearly 4GB just with music streaming this month.
Most countries seem to have abolished mobile data flatrates.

The OP understands that the phone needs the cord to act as an antenna. I think what they simply want to know is if the phone can then route the sound to the bluetooth device instead of through the speakerphone or the headphones.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
d4fseeker I understand that the headphones should be connected since they serve as fm antenna. What i want is to listen to fm stations through bluetooth while the headphones are connected as bigb25 says.
TuneIn is not a solution for me since some stations I want are not available and cause I am a hiker internet is not always available where I go.
Maybe there is a fix or a different radio fm app?
OK quick test... plugged in 3.5mm - 3.5mm jack lead into headphone socket to act as the FM antenna and started the radio, selected sound to speaker and all worked fine. switched on Bluetooth headset no sound in headset, switched off sound to speakers still couldn't hear anything. Unplugged patch lead (this ends radio anyway) played an mp3from music player and sound returned to BT headset.
So unfortunately the answer is no you can't, as soon as you plug the anything into the headphone jack it cuts out the sound to any other device.
This may well be a mechanical switch within the headphone socket and so unlikely that there's a get around in a custom rom....but then I know nothing about roms

The latest Free version of Spirit can always be found at the top of post 1 of my Q&A thread. See my sig.
My cheapest ($80) test phone gets good audio AND RDS with no antenna. Ironically it's the best of 12 operational test phones I have. It's a Samsung GT-i5500 with the great, sensitive new Broadcom 4330/20780 family of chips.
But yeah, my Galaxy S and S2 don't do very well with no antenna. My Galaxy Note does better. Haven't heard from anyone with an S3 yet. They all have the Si4709 FM chip, which has positives and negatives. Internal circuitry etc. makes a difference too.
And I can thank the very positive sales response I've had from S2 and Note owners for being able to buy these expensive devices for testing. I'll do everything I can to make Spirit run well on S3 and hope to buy one soon.
I have yet to find a phone that does FM over BT, except for a strange very low quality mode I have working on some BCM 4325 based devices.
If the FM can be done in the digital domain, instead of the more common analog, then in theory it should be possible to do FM over BT.
But then again, in theory the Galaxy S and S2 hardware are capable of FM record (digital). Yet the audio libraries don't seem to support it, and I think it'd be a major/infeasible job to hack the libraries for it.
The Note and I think the S3 can do FM record with stock audio libraries. So I think FM over BT on these devices is feasible, at least with stock ROMs and/or using stock libraries.
But on non-stock ROMs like CM9, the Note seems incapable of FM record.
Basically, if the stock ROM and stock FM app don't support FM over BT, then I think it's not EASILY possible.
If it could be made to work, there's no reason why a phone couldn't have a wired earphone plugged in at the same time that FM goes over BT. This might "confuse" the audio system though, which usually sends audio over a wired headset if one is plugged.
Then again, it's also possible to have a plug that's partly inserted (or maybe even wired creatively). Enough for antenna but not enough to push audio through the wired headset.
Thanks mikereidis.
I tried the free version, it plays only when the headphones are connected.
Do you think you could look at the possibility to send output to bluetooth?

I have one person reporting success with my app on GS3 on CM9 June 19 now.
It only works one time though, then requires a reboot for the 2nd time.
This was with an experimental release I haven't made public yet.
I hope GS3's will be coming down at least $100 over the next month. $700 is pretty darn steep, even if it's got a leg up on the One X and One XL I bought recently for 570 and 500.

That's very interesting; thanks for the info.
There are a variety of relatively inexpensive Chinese devices that have unique qualities, such as FM on an Android tablet, or digital TV tuner, or FM transmit I think.
But these devices are not widely available, or popular I think, in most Western countries. Information, source code and custom ROMs can be difficult to impossible to find.
As for Android: the audio systems can be kind of a big complicated mess. I don't think I've ever seen a single phone with an audio balance setting, among other things. But at least some Androids have "over the air" FM, whereas iPhone's have never had FM, despite years of rumors.
i am thinking of using one of these dongles though I doubt about the quality

Kind of a drag to have a dongle hanging off though, in addition to the wired earphone for antenna.
There's been a lot of praise for the Sony MW600 Bluetooth stereo headset with built-in FM the last few years. Under $40 on EBay now.
I just ordered the apparent successor, the MW1 for $120 plus shipping the other day. It even has a music player built in, besides the FM and BT 3.0 support.
I need the A2DP headset because I think I'll be able to support FM over Bluetooth on some devices in the next few months, and I need something to test with.
MW1 seems interesting with many features but the price is ....

The headphone jack has a part that senses when a headphone is inserted (the metal
in the headphone plug shorts it. It seems like you could make a plug that connects
to the metal of the ground pin (for the radio antenna) but isn't "inserted" so the phone
won't disable using BT.
Anyways, only i9300 will support FM, there is no way to get FM working with the Broadcom
chip in the US S3's. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31576462#post31576462

The lack of information on apt-X is ridiculous but I finally found something. According to the apt-X website, no current Sony devices support this protocol. This means that for any of you audiophiles like me, achieving the best sound quality on Sony devices is presently limited to wired headphones. This doesn't apply to headsets such as the Sony wireless headset pro, as pointed out by mrsatan. Just thought I'd share.

My sony bluetooth headphones use wolfson audio decoder which is arguably the best decoder around. I really dont understand what the big deal is with apt-X. Obviously there is some with hardware chips but it looks like their main draw is with software, which can be good or bad, Sony sound optimization is really good on Xperia S. They basically look like another vendor like Wolfson but I have never heard of them. Wolfson is awesome as **** when it comes to audio quality and my headphones are really good.

From what I understand the Wolfson DAC is hardware based in the phone, not in the Bluetooth transmitters/receivers. Bluetooth uses an entirely different protocol/codec to stream audio.. Once you stream via Bluetooth there is distortion. Not everyone notices it, but I do, and that could pertain to the type of music I listen to. That's why apt-X support is a better choice for some since distortion is eliminated. To each their own.

The wireless headset pro use Wolfson DAC since it is a standalone mp3 player as well. It definitely uses it even when streaming from the phone because their is a quality difference. There is no distortion on it because it doesnt decode before it streams it to bluetooth. I am a member of Head-fi.com and I remember before I bought the device we figured out what dac it was using and that influenced many to buy it. We were pleasantly suprised to see it using such a high quality dac.

No current Sony products support apt-X. Your smart wireless headset still doesn't support it despite the conversation we just had, lol. That was the only point of my creating this thread.

if only we had an accessories section to discuss accessories. we should go and ask the admins
Also sad to see apt-x missing. It's a major buying factor for my next phone.
I have several bluetooth speakers that support it, so my next phone will.

I'm hoping future Sony products support it. There are a few different aptx-enabled BT headphones that I'm looking into buying. I currently have the Samsung HS3000 and wired earbuds but I want to go completely wireless.
