Radio without handfree cable..

[gc9n]

Is there any way listen to Radio without using the cable? just bluetooth handsfree for example?

[zoltansz]

AFAIK the cable acts as an antennae.

[briggs81]

cable/controller acts as a radio receiver so i doubt it.

[gc9n]

so if i install the radio program to my qtek s200 and jack the headset of touch cruise , s200 will play radio?
i5t sounds crazy but as you say cable/controller acts as a radio receiver , so the phone by it self has no radio chip or something....

It won´t work on a Neo.

The TC has an inbuilt radio chip but no inbuilt radio antenna. You need the headset or the HTC W100 adapter as an antenna. Otherwise the radio on the TC doesn´t start.

Maybe by streaming but I haven't tried it yet.

and if I connect a simple thin wire on the good pin of the mini usb plug ? will it work ?

I don't think so. I think there is another pin on the connector that is linked to either GND or +5V and is used by the TC to detect whether the headset adaptor is plugged in. If the FM Radio app doesn't detect that the headset is plugged in then it will assume that no aerial is present, even if you have your thin wire. You can see this in action by just launching the FM radio app without the headset plugged in and it will give you an error message and refuse to go any further.

The $1000 question is what two pins to bridge to satisfy the headset-present test? Unfortunately I don't know this although I did see a site somewhere that has a full wiring diagram but like an idiot I didn't bookmark it and have never been able to find it again.

By streaming and a BT headset it's perfect!
