I have modified the original stereo ear phone and the sounds is much better quality than original ear phone.
Just need to invest a good stereo earphone and at the same time u still can use the original stereo earphone functionality... to pick up calls etc.
Can leave my ipod at home now.
How did you modify this?
I would love to modify mine. Please explain .
What do I need in hardware ?
Tools
And Know how?
I too have modified headphones. Now I can connect any.

Yeah! Did you open the grey box, or did you "cut and past" the wires after the grey box?

Photo is a bit fuzzy, Long live the artemis camera!
what do you guys think of this....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290072099484&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:UK:1
I emailed the seller to ask if radio would work and he replied that it would (don't necessarily believe him though).
how to i open the case?
this will not work....the usb is mean for Motorola phone...and for Artemis...u can't plug in the whole usb adapter...

means the seller is lying?
There are 2 types of mini-USB standards I know of. One is the standard motorola one. The other is enhanced mini-USB JUST for HTC devices.
If this guy mentioned a whole list of HTC devices and picture a P3300 with it, I pretty much think that it's the real deal.
If it works for audio, radio shouldn't be a prob

Put your nails between the plasic covers on the sides where the cabels come in and out. It should release pretty easy.

I might work for FM but it looks to me like it would work badly. Since the wire serves as an antenna if the extention extends the antenna length at best you'd only be able to pick up the lowest frequencies.
really? i've never found the length of the antenna caused problems for fm reception, i used to make my own so i could get better pirate radio station reception. I used to get a long piece of electrical wire, attach it to the (broken) aerial on the radio and hang it out of the window - worked every time

That's great! I've had to form a make-shift car radio antenna myself because some lovely person felt the need to break off the one attached. With trial-and-error 2 clothes hangers worked just fine. However antenna lenth is very important in fm reception because fm is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that arrives in th form of a wave and: wavelength=light speed/frequency. The fm spectrum is 88MHz to 108MHz. As it turns out fm is about 3 meters in length so the optimal antenna to pick that up is 1/4 of the wave or about 75cm.
wow i haven't seen a clothes hangar aerial in ages i'm sure i used to see them all the time!
Anyway, I ordered one of these adapters and will gladly report back the results if the thing ever turns up
Hi well i got my adapter...as i promised above, here's my feedback....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290072099600
It's exactly as described, I can get FM radio, of course you can just plug in the adapter and no headphones to use the loudspeaker.
It also has a mic and a button to answer calls. The L shaped USB input is a great design compared with those sticky outy ones. Plus the length allows me to use my ex71 headphones without the really long attachment. Overall very happy Ordered last Wednesday, got it today.
Now to transfer music to that damn internal microsd
Edit: Evaluator was right, the FM reception has suffered. Though I can still get FM reception in strong areas, it's nowhere near as good as with the supplied headset. Oh well...It's still great for using as an mp3 player.
I have also purchased this little adapter and it works a treat with my Sony earphones. Radio signal is excellent and sound is phenominal compared to the standard headset.
Phone works properly with the call pickup button and the microphone allows your caller to hear you clearly.
A worthwhile purchase for £9.99 inc postage.
Anyone confirm if the receiver is built into the phone, as opposed to being built into the wired stereo headphones?
It's in the headphones, as usual.
Don't think that's right. Usually, the radio is built into the phone but you need headphones connected - not necessarily the supplied headphones - for the radio to work. That's certainly how it was with my HD2. Otherwise, it means you could not use your own headset.
The headset cable usually acts as the antenna.
Usually these type of devices (phones/mp3 players etc...) have the receiver in the device but they use the headphones as the antenna so if you want to get any signal you need some (Any) headphones connected.

I have read it somewhere, .. I confirm that the radio receiver is IN the headset, not inside the phone!

can ANY headphone be used as an antenna?? even ones I bought from ebay??

Maybe you should really think before writing though
-
Ofcourse the reciever is in the phone and yes you can use any headset.
The headset purely acts as an antenna.
There are reports that non OEM headsets are a bit hit and miss. Some work, some don't.
Not a feature I will get to use as I have bluetooth headphones
shawon007,
Question - have you tried siwtching your phone off & back on? Your thread made me realise I hadn't tried out the radio on my desire, or the headphone jack for that matter....
Imagine my surprise when I tried the radio with normal headphones and the radio didn't work ... so I tried the official headphones, and they didn't work either, whether for radio or even playing music .... so I grumped about it and figured the jack was faulty. Then I tried powering the phone off & back on (early firmware) and bingo, the radio works.
Oh and standard headphones work just fine too.

RDS is missing.. too bad because it was working well on the Tattoo
I'm sure some clever person might be able add it!
What i'd like to know is if it would be possible to add a radio record button
a bit like the ipod nano's

Hi.
This is my first post on this forum. I'm happy to find so many skilled guys on smartphones and android, specifically (though I've never had smartphone development experiences yet ).
I'm very seriously thinking about buying a HTC Desire (I think it's gorgeous) but the missing RDS feature is quite annoying to me.
Maybe someone of you could tell me if the radio chipset is capable of handling RDS, and so a rooted firmware will fix the problem?
Thanks.

My iPod ones work fine...
My Sennheiser earphones do work with the FM Radio, but the reception is quite poor unfortunately
The HTC ones supplied work perfectly, reception is great, shame about the quality of the earphones themselves though.

Maybe armored cable on good earphones don't make a good antenna :/
PS : don't know if "armored" is the correct word in english I want to say "a cable with much protection over electric fields".

No worries, I know what you mean
I rarely use the radio anyway (got around 10GB of music and videos to keep me occupied), so I guess I will be sticking to my Sennheiser earphones.
Has anyone else had any issues with the radio? When I was using it the other day it completely freaked out and locked up my phone.
Oh and when I was first setting it up and went to set presets it knew the names for some of the stations already, how is it doing that without RDS?
Does it also have FM transmitter?

Are you sure? After i tuned to several stations, it's picked up the names fine. BBC Radio 1 is displayed as Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 is shown as BBC R2

No it can't transmit.
So I've got a pair (if you can call it a pair) of Motorola Motorokr S9-HD Headphones.
I can connect them to the phone just fine, but when I cover the bottom portion of the phone with my hand the signal drops out completely and I was wondering if anyone else experiences this or if it's just me.
So surrounding the bottom portion of the phone (with the Home, Menu, Search and Back buttons) with my hand and the signal drops out. Headphones on, phone in front of me.
Same thing happens if I push the phone up against my chest/stomach, no signal. Sometimes to the point that it disconnects entirely.
Normally I would be like "no big deal, I just won't do that." But the phone being in either my front or back pocket causes the same effect, making them kind of useless.
So, end result, is it my headphones, my phone, or both? Can you test the headset you have and see how it works out for you?
I've attempted this on stock ROM with Root, Fresh 5.3, and DC 3.2.3 with the same results each time.
I tihnk the BT and WIFI ant's are on the bottom
teh CDMA is on top -- if i cover the top, i can go from 4 bars to 0 barz
if i cover the bottom the wifi drops a lot
i think the BT ant is pretty weak .. couldn't go more than 10 ft from a laptop doing audio streaming
i'll try the BT later on when i get home unless someone else gets to it first

Well if the BT antenna isn't on the bottom, then why is it when I put my hand over the bottom the signal drops?
I want to see if anyone else can replicate this issue..
I have the same headset. I tried everything you did and it works for me. I occasionally get a breakup of audio, but it is not related, however it is the headset.

i'm saying the tooth antenna IS (probably) on the bottom hence why you cover it up it dont work as good. sorry my grammer sucks
I would swap it for another one. While generally I find the headset to be a great improvement over past Bluetooth Headsets, I am still not impressed that after 15 years that bluetooth has been around that it has yet to impress me as a wireless medium.
This headset is still only class 2 and Bluetooth 2.0. Where are all of the Class 1 and Bluetooth 4.0 devices?
I have tried all the Plantronic, Jawbone and Numerous Motorola devices and have been left wanting. I will probably be returning this headset as well. Although it has good sound quality, the earbuds (event he smallest ones) are too big for my ears and they do not seat down inside like a quality pair of tips. The phone breaks up especially while on the phone, but for listening to music, it is in general quite a good device.
The biggest problem with going wired headsets is that people have quit making a good wired stereo heatset with mic.
well, I have had 20 or more BT headsets, and, the only one I have EVER had that played music without breakup is the Jawbone Icon..
Sure the sound sucks, its mono and tinny, but I never lose signal with pandora, slacker, or sd card music with this headset..
motorola s9HD was one of the worst ones I had for losing signal from my phones..agree that its a shame that no one is able to make a HQ STEREO BT lightweight headset that doesnt drop signal yet..
the backbeats are damn good for music, world better than my s9s. ive got the 903 but the 906 are supposedly even better
I have the same issue with the motorolas, not as bad as you but I do get the breakup if i carry the phone in front of me. I have the Shure 530 headphones which kick ass so I got a Sony BT Transmitter, I think it is the BT15 or maybe the BT30, works perfect for me, I clip it on the front of my shirt plug in the Shures and presto bluetooth. The receiver even has a built in mic, works about as good as the Motorolas.

I can't for the life of me remember which one I have but be advised one of them has a mini usb charger the other requires a specific cradle, i go the one that has the mini usb, didn't want to carry around a specific charger for this.
Hi
Is it possible to tweak the Tp2 so I can listen to the radio without the need for a usb-cable?
It is possible but don't know how. However if you flash an Energy ROM he has already carried out the tweak and it will work without the cable, however you will need to be very close to a radio station to get it as the cable is the aerial and without it there is no aerial.
cheers

there is a registry setting in state for plugged in head phones. you wont get any signal at all without headphones. i have an adapter that cost $0.01 i got off amazon, it sets the state unlock the stock htc adapter and it provides half signal (for being only 3") but thats good enough for radio.
Okay, thanks for replys.

Would you mind posting a link to this adapter or telling us what it is called?
Thanks in advance!
i would if i could but i cant seem to find it anymore. its disappeared from my purchase history.
My 3.5 mm input is broken. The plug is broken inside it and I tried everything but I can't get it out. Is there any other way for me to listen to music (without the speaker)? I'm asking what the alternatives are. Can I use bluetooth or will this give me problems since the phone still thinks there is a headphone plugged in it? Can somebody try that out that has a bluetooth headset? I also ordered this thing:
MicroUSB to 3.5mm Adapter from SpecialPhones.nl (I can't post links yet)
Is that possible? Or do I also have the problem that the device still thinks something is still plugged in it?
Thanks!
You can use Bluetooth earphones/headphones..
I have used 5 years old Nokia's Bluetooth headphones with my Nexus, works well!

If you have time, could you check if it is possible to get music out of the bluetooth headphones while a 3.5mm is plugged in it?
This seems like a good option, but I want to be sure it works:
Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Headset
I hope there is an option, commuting without music has been really torture for me
I actually prefer bt to the 3.5 jack, it's all I use. And I don't think the quality suffers at all, I found it to be louder. Although the InChargeAudioBT thing I use in the car may be amplified - I dunno.
I think it chooses jack sound over Bluetooth, haven't tried though (Bluetooth headset is at work).

Hi, can anyone checkn the bluetooth/3.5mm combo? I really need to know this before I going to purchase that Jabra? Thanks!
man, this is the simplest part of the phone you can change.
when you put off the cover housing, (6 screws), at the bottom, you have 1 screw , unscrew it, detach the flex on the left, and put out the jack part (everything is fixed on a plastic attachment)
put the new one, connect the flex again, screw, put cover housing, 6 screws and you are done.
cheap piece more over.. 7 min to do the whole stuff , guaranteed

Hmm, thought it would be hard. Is it easy to get that cover off? And do you know where I can buy a replacement for this model?
I want both option open, so if anyone has time to check that Bluetooth thingy that would be great

If you have the 3.5 mm jack plugged in to the Jack hole and you have enabled Bluetooth headphones, you will only hear from BT headphones!
At least it works for me on my modified stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1 with CyanogenMod 9 Music Player!

Ah, good to hear. Thanks!
I'm looking into buy the bluetooth if I get it repaired or not. The phone (not only this phone) keeps raping my earphones plugs (and vice versa the jack now) because it is so big and keeps pushing against my body when I walk or when I am on a bike.
