Default 3.5mm Antenna work with FM radio over speakerphone?

Went on ebay and saw some 3.5mm antennas for phones... anyone know if these will work with the fm radio app and allow speaker to play the music? Would be cool for those chill around-the-bonfire nights

Obviously I can just pandora, but just looking for a cool way to utilize the fm radio

I think that our phones would recognise it like a regular headset. i dont think that you will face any problems using it like an antenna... u can use any metal object as an antenna if u can fool the phone to think that u have a headset plugged in

thanks for this... i feel very silly here tho... I had no idea i could just plug in a basic headset and select to play through speaker. I guess i through myself off because i didn't even open the SE headphones and tried plugging in my Klipsch S4i's and the phone wouldn't register that a headset was plugged in...


anyways, my work had a pair of cheap earbuds under 4 dollars, so i bought em and clipped off the cable... now its a 3.5mm stub for fm radio use
