Is there anyone who can, knows, or has a way to make the "FM Radio" app that is preinstalled on the galaxy note 2 international, work without headphones?
Also since it is able to receive radio signals; is it possible to somehow mod the file and make it transmit radio waves, so I and many other people can play music on the phone through the car radio system with out buying an external transmitter?
:good:
first post please don't blast me =)
I don't think either of those are possible, as (as far as I know) it uses the headphones as the antenna. You can still play the radio out of the speakers with the headphones plugged in though, if that helps you at all with #1.

You can use any metallic object as antenna. At least on the old nokias.
Never tried on note 2 though. Also be careful with what you use. It might damage the port.

Is there some way you can have two sets of Bluetooth earphones connected to audio simultaneously? I'd like to listen together with my girlfriend when we take a walk.

Appreciate the kind advice, sometimes we like to talk about music, hence the desire to listen simultaneously. Speakers are not a good option in the environment where we walk, her expiry date hasn't been to approach yet so I'll keep her for a while longer. I'm thinking that there are lots of situations that woul benefit from multiple BT connections, I can have s keyboard and speakers connected simultaneously do why not two sets of speakers?

Lol, I can always rely on xda for a chuckle
But sadly no, I scoured the Internet for similar help last week, and it's impossible, although not sure why.
The only option is to stick with wires via a splitter, or.... Belkin I believe have an adapter which goes into the headphone socket and has two bluetooth transmitters on the other end.
But apart from those clunky solutions, there's no way. Perhaps a Dev can explain why. Personally a software fix which allowed sound via both the socket and blue tooth would do it for me, but again it doesn't seem possible.

maybe its possible if you connect a bluetooth adapter to otg, and the otg identifies the bluetooth adapter and allows you to connect another bluetooth peripheral.
maybe a miccus mini jack tx is what you need. Saw this bluetooth device that plugs in the headphone jack and transmits wirelessly to a bluetooth headset. THis way you can transmit calls to your bluetooth headset and the music to the miccus jack.
I have a belking wired splitter, it works well, I bought it from my local asda.

For some odd reason, whenever I plug my Apple Earpods into my Xperia Play I get a notification telling me that the accessory is not supported. However, if I hold down the middle button on the Earpod's mic not only on does the phone recognize them, but they work fine. The catch is, if I stop holding down the button, the audio becomes much more quite. Worse, is the fact that there is a constant beating sound coming from the Earpods when no audio is playing.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Is there maybe an setting in the phone that I can tweak to make them work. Also, keep in mind that my other headphones work fine, it's just that the Earpods are much better, and I'd like to get them working.
Had the Holding down issue on my old Satio, and Im afraid it is possibly either down to a hardware issue or the fact that Sony decided to f* the 3.5mm jack as Im sure that only a few and selected headphones with Microphones will work bar the ones that Sony decides to rip of people like me.. I've managed to order a set of livesounds' for this reason..
My apple earphones dont work for my xperia play. Solution: get another set of ear phones.
I may have found a fix for this. Apparently this adapter should fix the problem.

If I understand you correctly, you want your S2 to transmit audio to your car's FM radio? Yeah, right... First, you need to somehow install an actual FM transmitter into your phone, as no app will magically help you unless the phone is physically capable of transmitting an FM signal (which it's not). That would be quite a DIY project -- let us know how it goes!
Of course, another option is just to buy an FM transmitter -- there are tons of them on the market, for any taste and budget...
I think buying trasmter wasn't bad idea

I was on this site looking at how to take apart the Nexus 7 2, and on this page:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/2
It said "Qualcomm Atheros WCN3660 WLAN a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 (BR/EDR+BLE), and FM Radio Module".
Does that mean this device can support FM Radio?
I saw that too, might be pretty cool. It might have the receiver and no antenna though.

I feel like that's more than likely the case. Which is a real shame. Maybe it's possible to use the headphones as an antenna who knows.
Oh man that would be such a cool option. I use my phone all the time just to listen to the local morning show. If it would work with the Nexus, that would be one more reason to buy this for me.
I am still on the fence about buying one, at least for a couple of months, I want to wait unit some good reviews come out.

Isn't that exactly they work? My phone has an FM receiver and requires the headphones to be plugged in before the app is turned on and uses them as the antenna.

But I am guessing that there is no app loaded on the N7b to use FM radio? Would there be any apps out there for that?
This would be awesome if true for a car install!

You would already have FM in a car, not sure why it would need it for that application. Please explain.

By judging from it's kernel, it uses the qualcomm wcd9310. (I think it's the same found in the n4)

This would allow you to replace your current car audio system (headunit) with the nexus 7.
My current problem is that I depend on the FM radio for music and sports radio.

I d/l the free spirit FM app, bit it just causes my tablet to reboot. That's the thread you would need to follow though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure there is no way that Google allowed the FM antenna pins to be connected anywhere but shorted to ground. Like any Nexus device, if it was FM capable, I'd be thrilled and would rush to get one ASAP.
For this chip, the kernel config needs to include radio-iris into the kernel itself (not a module). AND radio-iris-transport.ko needs to be a module, it can't be in the kernel like radio-iris. Strange, but so. You can insmod the ko, but the official method is to run this as root:
setprop hw.fm.mode normal ; setprop hw.fm.version 0 ; setprop ctl.start fm_dl
If the ko isn't loaded the phone will reboot due to stupidity in the kernel driver.
With the driver loaded properly, Spirit should detect the FM chip OK. Most likely, RSSI signal strength at top left will be negative or zero.
On the IMO very tiny chance RSSI is 10 or higher with a wired headset plugged in, and the frequency set to a good channel, then we can worry about making audio work.
The only Nexus device EVER released with FM hardware capability was the old Nexus One, based on the HTC Desire. And even that required a custom kernel at minimum to get audio.
Any updates to this?

No.
World is still spherical and Google still doesn't support FM.
MotoG is good to go though.

sorry, didnt read that properly, i just use the fm receiver function, never needed or tried to transmit on it.
I found out that this was most likely an error in the translation from the Chinese manual. This device hasn't got a FM transmitter
