Hello, my question is whether you can listen to FM radio without plugging headphones and plugged a cable-miniUSB usb without more.
The HTC P3300 doing this works simply a change in registration
You should go to the next branch of the registry:
HKLM / System / State / Hardware
And the key change "Headset" putting the value 1.
In the diamond I have now tested and active radio stations even caught but was not heard by the speaker is something that needs to be altered more in the diamond. Some who controls to see if it knows what to play.
Thanks
Maybe you can force the radio application to work without headphones but since the headphones are the FM antenna reception could be very poor.
i have a tiny adaptor i got from ebay which changes the mini usb to standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
since just having the adaptor in the phone without headphones plugged into the adaptor makes the diamond think theres a headset attached, i tried to open the FM radio and it would open (does not ask you to insert headset) but cannot pick up any stations as the headphones are the antenna!
so really your request is pointess as if you could get the FM radio to open without headphones plugged in, you wouldnt be able to listen to anything!

Hi;
Didn't find too many threads about the neatness of the Kaiser BT with certain devices. Though my main memory gets still eaten up like ther's no tomorrow I played a little bit today during lunch-time.
1.) External speaker/handsfree set:
I bought a blueant supertooth light since we have several phones in the family That's the most convenient way to have a mobile handsfree and no wires and literally NO installation.
Enable BT at the Kaiser, use BT-Audio (attached) and re-route device speaker output to the bluetooth handsfree speaker.
Voila, the TomTom Lady is talking to you load and clear. Eats up some battery but for that you have a car charger - NEAT!
Should work with popular motorola T305 and others as well.
2.) Car with AUX/iPod input:
Get an A2DP bluettooth kit (I have the i-tech clip R35) get a male/male 3.5 mm jack cable (preferable a little longer that you can use the mic), connect to the car. Not only that you can listen to the music stored on the kaiser through your car stereo ... call comes in, take call and listen through your speakersystem OR listen to regular radio or music, call comes in, press aux at your radio and ... talk.
NEAT - Thought I should share this!
doesn't seem to want to work for me. i get a " failed to enable BT audio" window when i try to use it
Could have a better user interface, I agree.
Do you use an external BT speaker/microphone or do you try to use AUX for your car stereo. If you use the car stereo NOTHING is required as long as you have an A2DP bluetooth set with external earphone jack.
With the car kit these are the steps that worked for me:
Enable BT in CommMgr?
Click BTAudioToggle
Click BTAudioOn
I put shortcuts in my menu one could even write a script or macro...
doesnt work for me
Post your config and what you did/do perhaps I can help
same thing as post #2,unzipped to SD, make shortcut,tried shortcut and direct file and both gave that error message
What speaker/headset do you have?
If it is a headset is it A2DP compatible?
jabra bt5020,dont think it's compatible
Hmmm
Bluetooth compliance: Bluetooth version 2.0 specifications
Supported Bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth headset and hands-free profiles
Try the following:
- Soft reset after you disabled bluetooth (to have a clear starting point)
- Enable bluetooth
- Check if it is connected
- Open settings
- Tap and HOLD on your headset
- Set as handsfree
- Set BTAudio ON (don't use the toggle)
- Open TomTom or whatever gives you some voice commands and check.
If it doesn't work ... well it doens't work with your headset ... sorry
If you REALLY want the function buy an itech or so for ~ 26 bucks
Hello,
Is it possible to listen to FM radio on bluetooth stereo headset with A2DP profile, or it is possible to listen only by headphones connected to device directly? I wonder if it has meaning to buy bluetooth headset in that case.
The wired headphones are the antenna for the radio. You can't listen to a radio without an antenna. Bluetooth headphones let you listen to music without wires. You listen to MP3s or Internet Radio without an antenna.
If want wireless audio enjoyment, pick both a source and an output that doesn't require wires (i.e. MP3s/Internet Radio and Bluetooth).
If you don't want wireless audio enjoyment (or don't care), that opens up any number of antenna based sources...
yes you can listen to the radio on your bluetooth head set but to get it to work you need the wired headphones attached then use a program that sends what you hear on the device to your head set. I have done it in the past just to see it work but what is the point if you have to have the wired headphones attached and extended to get it to work then use more power to power the bluetooth.
the program was a CAB called BtMusic v0.3
Tried BTMusic v 1.0 Beta from maxmobilesoft.com, but it doesn't work with the radio. Too bad - I too would like to listen to the FM radio on my bluetooth headset. Wouldn't mind having the "antenna" dangling somewhere on the inside of my jacket...

Hi All,
I'm wanting to use my Diamond in the car to replace both my old iPod and sat-nav, while still having phone functions available. There are a few things I'm not happy with, so I thought I see what other people are doing.
I have a car head unit with a direct 3.5mm line-in, which used to have the iPod on the end. The Diamond works fine plugged into this through an ebay 3.5mm\USB adaptor.
If I plug the 12v>USB charger in, I get a whine over the audio - not a big problem, it's just a ground-loop, so I'll stick an isolating transformer in-line.
The main problem I have is switching between the internal speaker and the external output. If I want to have the radio on, rather than MP3, I have to unplug the adaptor, and plug the charging cable in direct, so that I can keep the battery charged - not ideal. This way I can hear the TomTom voices through the internal speaker, but it seems wrong to have to swap leads this way.
The other main problem is if I have MP3 and TomTom all through the stereo, and I get a call, I can hear the call over the stereo, but can't speak, as the Diamond is expecting an external microphone.
I guess what I need is a utility to force only the internal microphone to be used, and to allow me to force the internal speaker when I want to use the radio. It there such a thing?
I think one of these car holders has an option to plug in charger and usb-3.5mm jack adapter at the same time....
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/Holder/HTC+Touch Diamond-Brodit-Holder.asp
If i had the skills i'd try to figure out a hack to pause/mute the mp3 and mute satnav when in a call... but I don't.
That's not the problem - I can plug in the charger and 3.5mm audio at the some time, but that redirects all the audio to the car stereo, and disconnects the mic. Removing the adaptor and plugging in just the charger enables the microphone, but all my MP3s then are played through the internal speaker.
What I need is a utility to force the internal microphone to be used _all_ the time, and let me choose when to use the internal speaker when a headset is detected.
I don't suppose anyone knows how the Diamond recognises a headset? Is there a resistor link across a couple of the pins in the 11pin connnector? I'm just thinking I could make up a cable with a switch to break that contact, and 'virtually' disconnect the headset when I want the radio, or need the microphone active during a call.
You could try this program. It seems to be a virtual switch between the earpiece and external speaker. I use it a a solution for skype and other voip programs that only work through the external speaker, but the works the other way as well.
headset instaled but need phone mic allways enable

I have the same issue of kaisee.
I use the diamond as mp3 player in my car stereo (aux-in) and i need the mic allways available to use the phone without disconect the usb or audio plug.
In my old magician this worked just fine becouse the mic was allways available.
Is the .exe posted by dctech the answer(thanks man) ? has anybody tested ? is it reliable or there is another solution?
Thanks
You need a proper bluetooth car kit to allow this. Parrot ones are very good. If you want to listen to music as well as phone calls and sat nav i would suggest that you get one with both handset and A2DP bluetooth profiles. There is a workaround app you can use to get music through a car kit with just a handset or headset profile but the quality is mono and very poor
I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find a answer to this...
I use a phone cradle in the car, using my topaz as my music player, connecting my phone to my car stereo with a male-male 3.5mm audio jack.
I want to be able to steam music via bluetooth from any other compatible phone / device to my phone, meaning I don't have to trail cables everywhere when a passenger wants to play something.
I would have thought this to be a simple-ish thing to setup but cannot find any information on how to do it. Is it even possible, and where would I start if it is?
I also want to use my on-board mic when the headset is plugged so I can have call audio over car speakers, although iv been led to believe this isn't possible because of hardware reasons, can anybody clarify that?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, not really sure where it should have gone.
If I understand you correctly, you want to stream music TO your phone over BT from another device? Not possible.
For hearing call over speakers and using mic, you need to get the M-F w/built in mic.
I too don't think it will be possible to stream music from another device to your phone except if you transfer the entire music mp3 file via bluetooth to your device and then play it from there.
Regarding the possibility of using the device's microphone whilst using the car speakers for sound, again I'm afraid I don't think this is possible. I have a similar set-up to you in that my TD2 is connected to an FM transmitter which also charges my TD2 at the same time in a nice cradle. The TD2 thinks it is connected to a headset when cradled. The microphone is inactive in this state which is a shame as it would have made a good hands free system if it were to be active....

I use this set up as well. You just need the cable with the built in mic.
My RF Transmitter has a male plug, So I found the HTC cable that has the HTC USB to Female with built in mic. This is my basic set up.

That set up looks great Bruce, but I don't want to be fiddling about plugging in so many cables with so many wires visible. Brodit does something similar too, all in a cradle with an extended wire so you would be able to hide all the cables....
Hi,
I understand that in order to have the FM Radio working we need to have the headphone plug in because they act as the antenna and as such bluetooth does not work.
My question however is different in nature, If I plug in the jack a cable (headphone cable without the ear part), is it possible to have Tasker replicate/duplicate the output of the earphone jack to a Bluetooth headphone? This way, there would still be a cable to act as an antenna and we could listen to radio without the hassle of cable.
I tried to find if this question was posted elsewhere without any luck.
Thanks for your help.
