Really interested in the artemis due to its fm radio and Gps....what's the Radio like?...Is it anygood?
I tried the radio on the o2 atom and found it rubbish is the artemis any better?
Also does anyone have any screenshots of the radio app in action
Cheers
FM Radio
Just got my P3300. I have to say after 7 PPC Phones this is by far the best. In regards to your question, the FM Radio is great. Very sensitive and sounds good through the speaker. However, the biggest downfall is that you have to have the headphones plugged in to the USBExt port on the phone. They apparently hold the antenna. The app won't even start unless they are plugged in. This is a major limitation I hope someone finds a work around. Apparently there is a USBExt to 3.5mm jack adapter but I don't know if this will trick the FM Radio software into starting with out the supplied headphones.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Ahhh thats good to know ...even more tempted now
You dot happen to have any screenshots of the radio app in action at all do you?
Thanks
The Radio performance is quite good, one thing I really like is the ability to set the radio going on the channel you want, switch off the Artemis and carry on listening - certainly a power saving feature. If you need to look at a screen shot try see the image below, there are other features such as sleep timer etc, but this really isn't a purchase decision to be honest - Mike
Does it come with 2.5mm or 3.5mm or others for the audio?
Neither, see bwallis post above! the audio is routed through the mini USB OR A2DP Bluetooth, this works very well, but the radio still needs the earphones plugged in as they are the aerial - Mike

Thanks for your information. Can I use BT headset to enjoy the radio instead of the wired headphone?
I don't think so - I have tried the radio running with the device conected via A2DP to the cars system, the Artemis Radio plays through the wired headset while any other noise is routed over bluetooth through the car deck. Even if you managed to get the audio routed to a BT headset you will still need the wired phones plugged in to get the radio program to actually work - Mike
Yep.. if I'm not wrong, the software BlueCast can transfer ALL sounds (incl ones from your TomTom and Radio) through A2DP. But in order for the Radio to work, physically plugging in something into the miniUSB port is a must.
Anyways, does the package come with a mini-USB to 2.5mm jack? or is it 3.5mm? I'm currently using a 2.5mm cable with mic.. and was hoping to use back the same if I were to get this Artemis..
Thanks
FYI, the 3.5 to USB adapter does not work to allow FM radio with your own headphones. It pops an error that you need the headphones plugged in to use the radio. Until a hack is found, you must plug in the supplied headphones.

erm do you actually need the headphones to be plugged in, in order to get the RDS/TMC info traffic for GPS softs like Destinator6?
Don't think it does RDS/TMC
is there any register hack that will start de fm-radio program ??
Hi fellas.. Just realised from one of the reviews that the mini-USB connector is shaped differently than the standard symmetrical one. Are they compatible?
Thanks
I confirm ... They are compatible !!!

Thanks bro. What a relief!
Hi there!
Anybody knows if the FM-radio has RDS support??
PK
RDS yes but only for the radio station name, nothing else is used - you get the station name when it is transmitted and your headphone leads can pick-up the data - Mike
Hi!
OK, does this mean that AF (alternative frequency) is not supported?

Does this require any special trick ? In my case I can't see any station names ? (I can see them on normal radio). I am using the standard headphone attached.
Hi Guys,
I am planning on buying a Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones for the XDA Orbit I have just bought and was wandering if the FM radio will work with it? I believe that that the original headset acts as an Ariel.
No,
I've got a bt headset, there's no way I can find to divert audio from the FM radio to the headset even with the wired headset plugged in and "speaker" or "headset" selected.
I tried a utility which claims to divert *all* audio to bluetooth (sorry can't remember what it's called) but that didn't work either.
Regards
I'm using an Bt Midland in my helmet and i can hear music, navigator and also speacking and calling perfectly but i have not found the method to use the Radio trasmitter.
I've the adapter miniusb jack, and i've tried with some different software like Blue Music, Bta Router and a2dptoggle but nothing happens.
same trials in tc forum with even keeping the wired headset connected still no dice
on getting fm to the bt headset could be a hardware limitation
thank Rudegar.... i'm still searching fora any solution.... but is strange cause i cah hear the BT emitting the classical sound of "BIP" everytime i tap any things in FM Radio
I think you should give a try to BTAudio Toggle. This does not requires installation. Just copy to mobile open BT and run BTAudioToggle.exe.
thanks freco.... i've tried, but the radio dosen't transmitt.
as long as I know, you have to plug in the regular headset to be able to enable FM transmitter, because the headset is used as antenna. and then I would go for btIO, you would find it somewhere here for sure
...just my 2 cents
ies...headset are connected to mobile. i can hear sound from the speaker of headset and of mobile but it dosen't go in BT
...well, tried it at home and have to say that it doesn't work either. everything else is hearable on bluetooth exept radio...think that this is a FM transmitter-program problem. it seems that it's only able to play it trough speakers or wired headphones

yes, i think so.
i've asked here cause in other italian forums nobody has solved the problem.
Is there any solution can use HD build-in FM Radio with bluetooth headset? Thanks
This has been discussed several time before, and unfortunately the answer is no. Even if we were able to bypass the app checking for wired headphones, you wouldn't get any reception since the wire acts as the antenna.
Currently when I try and listen to the FM radio over bluetooth as soon as I plug in the headphones to act as the antenna the radio swithces to the headphones. Is there any way that an app or mod can be made to enable the radio to play over bluetooth?
thank
