Hello All,
I decided I couldn't make the standard earphones any more annoying, even by soldering on a lot more wires! This web page shows how you can integrate a Motorola FM stereo radio into your ear pieces. You can now listen to the radio, or MP3's from your XDA and still answer a call, perfect!

Happy listening, Paul
Hi Paul
Have you done it too?
If yes could you please post some pictures ?
I took a look at the page looks cool.

Hi I'm new to the site, i had read a lot post about upgrading roms from different companys, i read people describe how good the a2dp quilty is, but the problems comes, i first upgraded the rom to T-Mobile , then i found there are a high pitch nosie, at first, i though it was just my earphone, after i changed it, it still the same, then i upgrade to the QTEK rom, the nosie still comes, the nosie comes as the singer start to sing!!! it makes my so dizzy, i had try to link my BT to my PC, but they sound much different! no nosie plus clearer sound!
the second problem is that when a phone call-in, the ringtone goes via BT rather than built-in speaker???
the third problem is if you set ur BT as both hands free/set and wireless stero, during a connected phone call, if you press any button on the dial pad, all the sound will gone, but the phone is still connected, i found this problem when i using my voice mail?!
also after i update to the non-O2 rom, my phone is no longer accept any MMS, i already config all the setting from O2, is just that i don't have my MMS acount appear on my mail box. i also try the .cab setting file too!
My A2DP BT is i-Tech S35
ROM Version: 1.30.77WWE (QTEK)
Radio Version: 1.09.00 (QTEK)
ExtROM Version: 1.13.188 WWE (O2)
Many Thanks!!!
Was it just me than having this problem???
- I've not the first problem.
- I've the second problem
- I never experienced third problem
:wink:

Click on the above link , download the file and run it on your phone, do not alter any of the options, just click next on everything it will fix your MMS problem
thx a ur advice coff... but it still doesn't work, plus i starting to think that the nosie might cause by my s35, due to the campasility.. (sorry can't spell)
Hi MicmiC901,
Yes, it probably is something "locally" with your phone/headset/area/etc, since I also have same experience as asci, meaning;
1. NO, don't have that problem
2. YES, I have same issue (to me this is actually OK, since when headset is connected, I WANT it to only ring in the headset)
3. NO, never experienced this problem
I use the latest Qtek ROM with AKU2 and A2DP, but have never experienced that high-frequent-noise-issue you mention with any other of the A2DP ROMs on my JasJar (TMobile Germany ROM, a custom-ROM from the forums).
so RonnyGydar, which bt headset u using @ the moment? i just try with my friends logitech bt headphone, it get worse than my i.tech, sound get Stuttering , so i think i better change a new bt, would u recommand moto ht-820?
Hi MicmiC901,
Sorry the veeery slow response...but now I have even one more BT Stereo headset...so then you get the "bonus" of even more info in my reply!
I have 3 BT Stereo Headsets, and here is a short summary of experience of them all.
HP BT Stereo Headphones (same HW as the Logitech ones as I understand).
Sound is good, clear, OK bass. Nothing exceptional, but I was very pleased with them. Sound could be a bit higher at the highest volume...if you plan to use then in noisy environments...but not really an issue...since they are quite loud.
Motorola HS820
Soundwise (clarity and bass) very simmilar to the HP ones...can't point my finger on any differences. But they seem actually a little less loud than the HP ones...so with these I struggeled to hear Podcasts when I sat on a bus going through tunnels. The HP headphones are slightly louder, I think.
Bonus of these are the excellent batterylife and miniUSB plug...plus the HP ones do not have a microphone, so the HP ones are only for music. So I would easily chose the Motorola's before the HP headphones.
One minus for me with the Motorola's are that they hurt my ears after a couple of hours of use. ...that at lack of "powerfull" bass, got me to look at the i-Tech BluePRO's...
i-Tech BluePRO
These have very good bass (and they sure look like they should have it too...pretty big earmufflers...with these, you look like you are working at a construction site or something, but the clarity of the sound is actually worse than HP and Motorola...they sound a bit fuzzy.
...but I still use these all the time...mainly for two reasons. One is the excellent bass (I like to listen to techno and trance...and then bass is important, the other is that they isolate outside sounds (due to the enormous padding), so I can have the sound as low as I prefer...and STILL hear all my music without disturbance from other sounds in the environment (like sitting on the bus in a tunnel, or at a noise Gym).
It also seems that there is quite a bit difference in how the different manufacturers implement BT profiles.
My Motorola and i-Tech BluePRO have problems with "Pause/Resume"-button on headset when used with my JasJar (Pause works, but not resume...or opposite...not sure which it was, dont have the headsets with me today)...but the HP ones does not (I tested them a couple of times, and the HP headphones worked all the time)!?
Re-connection after a time without use seems also to vary a bit. The Motorola I can turn off/on the headset, and they reconnect automatically to my JasJar. The i-Tech BluePRO's I must choose re-connect in "Bluetooth settings" on my JasJar every time I want to use them.
The "famous" "lag-issue" everybody experiences I experience with all my headphones in some situations...and it does not seem any better or worse among the headsets. It seems to also be affected by general radio disturbance, since I have a lot of problems with lag at work, but no problems at all at the Gym (which is good for me...since that is the place I am most happy with having my wireless headphones), and some issues at home.
Hope this was of any help!
actually i have the problem micmic is talking about.. it happened when i upgraded my wiz to a newer rom to get the a2dp function. eventually i do not have a bt.stereo -headset yet.. (coming in about 2 weeks) but i have the issues with the sound. it's almost like a bad bitrate or something? ..wierd it is since i remains even if i downgrade my rom. =/
Hi epluribus and MicmiC901,
Is the "stuttering" you both mentioning the same as I call "occational lag"?
IF it is...it you should certainly not have it when you do the following test;
1. Reset your JasJar/Universal (to clean memmory completely)
2. Started listening to music over headset with...
3. The Universal lying on the desk in front of you completely still 50cm from your face
4. You sitting completely still
5. No WiFi on close to you.
...this test is completely overkill...but if it STILL stutters in that "controlled scenario"...well then it must be something different with your Universal or headset HW. Cause I can walk around with my JasJar (also in areas I know there are 5-6 WiFi connections active...like my appartment), and even put the JasJar on the table and walk 5-10 meters away from it...and have no or at least nothing more than an "occational stutter"/"lag".
It seems to be two major factors affecting this "stuttering"/"lag" (from my experiences at least...I have used A2DP a lot with my Universal...couple of hours every day);
1. Universal struggling outputting(RAM/CPU...or both!?)
One help here is to apply the registry "A2DP priority" fix (found it in the forums here).
Another is to close all programs before using it (I usually do not do this...I usually only do it in hindsight when I get the problem).
2. Signal between Universal and headset struggling (obstructions between Universal and headset, WiFi nearby, so forth)
I for example get this problem if I put my Universal in my trouser pocket (I know, I must have big pockets, and walk around, I get stuttering/lag occationally. If I then take it out, and hold it in my hand farily still when I walk...no stuttering. I have found, that when I walk, it is OK to have it in my backpack/rugsack...then for some reason it very rearly stutters...so I usually do that.
But when I walk of the bus at work, and walk into the "campus" of my workplace, which is cramped with radiotransmitters (is norways largest Telecom company)...I get a lot of stuttering, and need to take it out of backpack, and hold it in my hand, at it gets a lot better.
In short: A2DP with the Universal works, but is sensitive to disturbance/obstructions/moving around...and to make it worse, it is also sometimes dependant of the Universal itself struggling with CPU/RAM.
I have BTW had the exact same problems before with Qtek2020 and Qtek9090 (which I got hold of some "A2DP patches", when I had those devices). ...but I really had a LOT more stuttering with those two...so much so, that I never used A2DP with them on a daily basis.
...so it can seem that HTC is getting slightly better on each new device...?
Hope this info can be of some use!
...but it might not...if my assumption at the beginning here is wrong, and your "stuttering"-issue is something completely different than the "lag"-issue I talk about!?
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.
JBW
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.
db
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 !!!

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.
Can anybody recommend a good car radio with builtin A2DP, which can use my phones (Xperia X1) contacts directly (like the BMW X-Drive radio system in my fathers car) and is able to control my phone via AVRCP and maybe can show the current title playing?
Audio quality in general and especially in conjunction with A2DP streaming should be good..
Shouldn't cost more than 250 Euros..
The radio is one thing, the phone is another thing.
before flashing my P4000, my Pioneer DEH-P980BT was pure ****. it was relaly hard to connect the PDA with the HU.
once flashed, it worked 1st try. so you might to check with another HU to see if its hard to connect it before buying one !
sony xplod $125
Bought sony mex2500 a year ago, works fine. uptodate is mex2700 might be bt2700... Anyhow cheap, easy to install and works. Doesn't do title or other info on radio but can use remote control of radio to control music app on phone.
I'm buyed a Pioneer FH-P80BT and it's work perfectly with my TouchPro. Autoconnect is working both for phone BT and A2DP. A2DP sound quality is good, navi programs with voice work good without any glitches.
Also this device greatly copying my phonebook from phone to him and it's work with russian chars! (my previous Pioneer DEH-P55BT also have this feature but it didn't work at all).
The DEH-P980BT doesn't seem to be available on the european market..
The bt2700 might be an option, because it's a lot cheaper than the other radios and it has good ratings..
The FH-P80BT is a double DIN radio and is too big for my car..
Anyway thanks for your suggestions! Still looking for the perfect solution..
I'd like to add, are there any that can do AVRCP 1.3? (track title / artist info display too)?
a2dp toggle
You may have to use a2dp toggle to make it easier to connect to play music.
The sony has worked without complaint. Good luck.
Just bought a Sony MEX BT-3600U for 140 Euros.. Seems, that this is the best option for a good price..

Let us know how it goes. Depending on rom, you might need a2dptoggle.exe for simpler bluetooth connection for music. I usually, but always need to use it. Whoops looks like I said that already.

Ah.. It's f***ing great from what i can say until now ^^. Good sound.. You can't even differ the A2DP music quality from the normal input music quality. Radio signal reception is also quite good..
But a small problem appears, when i connect my phone to my radio and start my motor: The radio turns off for 3 seconds or so, and when it turns on again, only the phone profile is reconnected, not the A2DP profile.. This sucks.. I have to go into the bluetooth menu and select "Use this as bluetooth stereo headset" to get it to reconnect.
Maybe i give this A2DPtoggle a try, though i have no today screen, because of TouchFLO 3D..
Minor drawbacks are of course:
- the small one row LCD-display
- no phonebook
But i can live with that..

You can get that hbutton program and map it to a hard button like the ie button so that it toggles bt and btaudio, worked for me. But yeah that is the only annoyance really. I like the remote too, haven't had to replace battery and it's been over a year.

Ok.. I'll try that, when i have time.. Do you have solution for controlling the radio via the steering wheel? I have no experience with that, but i heard that it is possible.. The remote is infrared, so it seems to be pretty useless, unless someone in the back row wants to control the radio. ^^

Sorry, no clue.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can come up with an app that would let us use the FM radio without headphones attached. Here is a similar tweak for Xperia Z2 in xda forums: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/enjoy-fm-radio-on-your-xperia-without-headphones-even-easier/
Thanks
It's not much use given the headset acts as an antenna.
I have that module on my Z2 and it works but you can't actually listen to the radio... unless you want to listen to constant static.

I thought they somehow managed to make it work properly in Z2. Static is not my fav radio station, so I'll pass Thank you for the info mate.
on my phone headset jack is damaged so android don"t detect in headset is inserted or not. i'm interested in such app or a tweak to be able to use fm radio app in my situation
