Is it possible to play radio on mobile phones without inserting airphone or headphone?
If yes HOW?
Posted by rockygali
all SE phones that has FM functionality uses the headphones as an antenna.
all SE phones that are not flashed/edited/re-programmed using FAR will prompt you for the headphones if you insist on using your FM without them.
but SE phones that patched using FAR manager can run FM radio without the use of headphones... but guess wot.. youll hear nothing, coz it cannot receive signal. therefore, the patch is useless..

Thanks however I did not see anything there for the P990i which I have and some of it seems real serious. I would prefer that a professional operate on my phone.
The only thing that I might want from them is to add/open up the 850mhz frequency on my phone.

What is this Guys?
You are saying We Can Do It By PATCHING. But if we cannot hear whats use of patching. BETTER SAY WE CANNOT. Just removing the command from phone to insert Headphone is not what we Want?
Anyway THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.

You can plug in the Headset extension. Do not plug in the headpone. Start the FM Radio then switch to Speaker. That's it, you will hear the radio. It works on my W810 & W300.

Try streaming it off the internet.

The only other way would be to open your phone and make an aerial inside the phone. Reception would probably be rubbish.

I've got a fastport to 3.5mm adapter, with that you can get a signal but obviously still need to have something, albeit smaller, plugged in.

So guys clear it up. You can add the patch but you won't hear it or the reception won't be good? Or is it that it just won't work and isn't worht messing around with?
The good thing about this whole thing is that IF it works then one would be able to use his HBH-DS970 to listen to the radio.
BTW are there any for opening/unlocking frequencies on one's phone including the P990i?

Mobile phones which have aerials for viewing tv should be able to play radio without a headset...atleast thats what my common sense tells me.

Its right

@gola:
Not likely. TV uses higher frequency signals unless I'm mistaken... therefore it needs a smaller antenna.
FM needs an antenna at least 75 cm long for optimal reception. Its possible to use FM on a phone as long as there is some sort of antenna inside but the quality will be miserable. (Its been done with the motoming)

This has been one of the most confusing posts for me. Some say that adding the patch allows the phones to receive FM signals without the headset.However You won't hear anything. Others say add the patch and you will won't need the headset to and you can hear the radio on speaker phone.
Could someone please state clearly what the purpose of the patch is and how well it works?
Thanks guys

IF you use the Patch, it won't come up saying Insert Headphones when you go to your radio...
HOWEVER, It is pointless as the headphones act as an antenna, so you'll just hear static noise...
you NEED them plugged in to get a signal, Patch = Pointless

i have that patch on my w810i,
if youd on t have the headphones with you and you want to listen the radio you can do by putting a finger in the left side of the fastport
Posted by ROSAN
Ok guys. Got satisfied answer. Conclusion is that there is no way to play radio without headphone inserted. PATCH IS USELESS. Thanks for all of you who helped me. Really thanks for your great support.

Same thing i am wanted to have for my nokia n91. But why all cells are bound to use a headphone for listening radio, is thats related too radio signal are they harmful to listen in open air over 3g or gsm? :confused:

I really don't see why you'd want to. And even if you did get it to work, the reception would prob be really bad.

I stumbled across this post and found it to be somewhat interesting. Have you guys ever tried this? Plug in the headset, turn on the FM radio, and then turn on the speaker. Tune into a channel, and then unplug the headset. For a few seconds, you can still listen to the channel. This pretty much proves that the phone doesn't require the headset for FM at all. What I'm thinking is that it's not because the phone requires a headset to work, but rather because of the patch is sketchy and faulty. If there is a good programmer, I'm sure he or she can tweak it correctly.
If you guys would like to respond, feel free to shoot me one at nothinrandom@gmail.com

That more or less sums up why there's no point trying to get the radio function in your phone to work without the headset. There's really no reason to try to get it to work as the reception will just be bad.
