Can you listen to FM radio through bluetooth or main speaker?

---

Just wondering.

thanks

Through the main speaker you can. A headset should be connected though since it works as an antenna. The FM Radio application does not start with no headset connected. I never tried bluetooth.

Very interesting

Does this mean you can switch output between the headset and the main speaker throught the FM Radio application? If set to the speaker, does that output *all* audio through the main speaker or only the FM Radio output?

If all audio comes out of the main speaker that would mean there ought to be a way to bypass the (otherwise know as hardware-) trigger for the headset.

TIA,

Yes, that's correct.

You mean allowing the FM Radio program to run without the headset? Yes, you can already do that with a registry change (someone mentioned in another thread). But I don't see the point of that, as you get zero signal without the headset.

Apart from the headset, you can also plug in the 3-in-1 adapter or the USB to 3.5mm adapter, and the FM Radio program would run.

Hi,

No, that is not what I mean. What I would like to know is if you turn on the radio and set it to output to the main speaker do all other WM sounds (notifications, ringtone or even an MP3 playing with a mediaplayer) also come through the main speaker, even though the headset is plugged in.

It would proof that there must be a way to output sound to the main speaker when a wired headset is connected. A thing that is normaly (or on non FM Radio equiped phones) not possible.

Please give it a try and let me know. And if you have the time, give me a total registry dump of a situation where the headset is selected as output and a complete dump with the main speaker selected. That would make my day

Thanks,

And of course, your suspicion is correct. I tried it and could confirm that WM sounds still went through headset. I tried setting the alarm. When the alarm went off, the sound (all the sound, FM Radio + alarm tone) switched to headset automatically. And when I dismiss the notification, it switched back to speaker. And the media player cannot run together with the FM radio. Once I starts the media player, the FM Radio closes.

Hi,

This isn't the answer I was hoping for, but thanks anyway. I gues it means the FM Radio has it's own audio handling. Bummer!
