Radio FM (no streaming) via Bluetooth - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One more time I ask my question that I see in other forums still unanswered.
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

it's possible but...
...You have to buy a bluetooth transmitter with 3'5 jack

Maybe..., but I need to answer phone calls, and that device doesn`t allow it.

I use this one with Jabra Halo 2 and I answer to phone calls.

Would this work with the Hermes??

hi
I walk to work and back everyday and I listen to my DAB radio all the time.
Problem is (and I realise its not the biggest problem in the world) I can't hear my phone so always miss calls.
Can anyone think of a solution so I can get audio from my DAB into the Hermes so I can listen to the radio and when I get a call, it interupts the audio? I thought about using the mini usb but that only has a mic in and if I use that, if the phone rings all they'll hear is my radio
Its a big of an expensive solution but would this work?:

So I bluetooth audio to my Hermes then use the wired headphones/mic to listen to it and if I get a call, the audio stops?!
Would that work?
thanks in advance

You could just have your phone on ring AND vibrate and keep it in your pocket so you feel it.
Just an idea
Try these instead. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013
I have had a pair for about a year and the sound is great. You can connect the included dongle your DAB or any other non blue tooth audio device and set up a link between your phone and the dongle with the headset. While you are listening to your music from the DAB if you receive a call the headset silences the music and you can answer the call directly from the headset. When the call ends your music resumes automatically. I may be a little pricier than device you listed but works like a charm.
Note make sure you look at the 590a not the 590e. The 590e does not include the dongle.
Also don't purchase it directly from Plantronics site. You can get it for about $100 if you search the web for it.

[Q] Radio via bluetooth

Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if there is an app or some setting that will let me listen to the standard radio via a bluetooth stereo headset.
I'm perfectly aware i need to plug in the headphones...well unless there is a workaround. I Just want to redirect the sound output from the obligatory headset to the bluetooth one.
Any kind of internet radio is not an option. We got some bad "Edge" only speed here...
Thx in advance
You could use a headset like this one: Sony Ericsson MW600. The radio is built-in directly to the headset.
I'm currently playing with some radio stuff
it will not require headset for FMradio.
I will make a new thread when ready.
but expect to hook some metal wire to the plug, or FM quality will be bad.

[Q] Listen FM radio through Bluetooth headset

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.

I know that,
I´m trying to hear the music through the bluetooth, the wired headset are connected otherwise the radio app won´t start....
The qusetion is if can force the spound to be transmitted to the bluetooth headset

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

Radio FM (no streaming) via Bluetooth

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

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?

Direct FM audio from earphones to BT Headphone

Hi, I really like to listen to radio (FM) and since I have a Bluetooth headphone I can't listen to FM because it needs a wire to act as an antenna. So I was wondering if there is a way to connect my crappy earphones to act as an antenna to the start FM player and direct the audio to my Bluetooth headphone.
I haven't found out if this is possible and I also can't find anything about in on Google, so I really hope you guys know something to let this work.
Thanks in advance!
Lennard
