fm radio

is there a built in fm radio in diamond ?

yes but of course you have to plug in headphones to use it
but to be honest it`s rather lousy

Is there a cab for the FM radio app? I really don't want to flash a custom rom just to get it.

I agree with friend Tony..
anyone ?

Hi All,
I have a question..
How can I listen the FM radio without headset?

you can't. The headset is the antenna

Killer feature for me: FM Radio!!!

FM Radio development is missing! that's a killer feature, i use it every day in wm

second that!
For me, personally ... after I got new toy, my Xperia will be just an FM radio .. an expensive FM radio ..;-)
I do not need Camera or GPS because my Xperia will be staying put on the table to listen to radio and receiving messages from Skype messenger (always connected to WIFI).
But I think someone can get other HTC FM radio Android application and use it in Xperia .. please someone get that for Xperia, thanks.

yea, in italy free wifi wasn't legal until 2011, wifi and 3g coverage is really poor, 3g dataplan are very expensive and not for rechargeable SIM (in italy we don't use subscriptions)
FM radio, is free, and works everywhere!

I think that FM APIs are still unavailable to 3rd party developers.
I dont know how is this dont for xperia but this is the way on htc desire... :
Click / tap on the arrow to the left of the phone on the main screen and you will get a list of applications.
You have the FM Radio icon in row 4. Tap on it and listen to radio. Do not forget first to plug some headphones (any they do not have to be original) .

Maybe there's another phone that uses the same FM chip and for which there's working FM radio app?
I agree - FM radio support is essential. Without it users who would like to listen to the FM radio still will be forced to switch to WinMo.
Not everyone has Wi-Fi access to use TuneIn Radio and not every FM station has streaming broadcasts.

Motorola CLIQ XT is Android smartphone which has FM radio and uses MSM7201. Maybe someone could port it's FM radio app to X1?

i tryed to port libs and FM Radio apk, but it doesn't work , i tryed many other apsk, but still no luck

Just keep trying, please. There must be a way to make the radio work.

You can use a FM transmitter, but it's not that great in Belgium (overwhelmed FM frequencies).
Or get a car with USB port
Sometimes, radios have an 3.5 AUX input at the back.. I know mine doesn't, and I 'd need to get some expensive equipment for my phone to simulate presence of a CD tray and be able to output through radio.

You can use bluetooth if your car supports it. You wont be able to use MIUI or CM7 then though.

I got a jack in and a usb on radio, but looking for a dock that fits in my din slot (in guess I need to build one myself, does someone know one to begin from?
I have a car with 2din, in the top is my radio, in the lower one I want to place the phone in a "dock" (in landscape)
Connecting the phone is no problem
Or i want to fit the phone in the 2 din and remove the radio, and use the phone as radio, like in the YouTube video
Hope you understand me, my English is not that good

This sounds a really good idea. Haven't seen a dock like you mention, but I sure would be interested if one was made.

just tested but the phone dont fit in 1din wil try someting els, the moment i found someting , i wil post it here , with pics

You can't replace headunit just like that, because it is needed to amplify weak headphone level sound output, if nothing else.
Using our phone for that is PitA. Two cables, two connectors and no dock to replace that mess. You'll be better off with iPhone (did I say that?!) or some older HTC which had extUSB connector with USB, sound and mic all in one. Now, with microUSB, forget it : (

FM Radio

I know there are apps like tune in and iheartradio but is there any FM Radio apps that wouldn't require a 3/4G signal? I have my tablet mounted in my truck and dont always pair my phone and tablet for the radio and would like to have the option of using a radio through my tablet

Well I think for an actual FM Radio app to work you would need an FM Tuner built into the device which these tabs that I am aware of do not have.

FM Radio without headset

Is there a way to have the FM Radio app working without pluging the headset?

As far as I know: No.
The phone has no integrated fm antenna and therefore uses the headphone or any other audio cable cable instead.
I also noticed a difference in signal strength and quality with different kinds of cables / headphones.

Does this possibly mean thicker cables will receive signals better?
Sent from my C6906 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I guess it depends more on length, isolation and most of all placement of the cable.
Do you have problems with a weak fm signal?

Works perfectly with the app TuneIn Radio, that wont ask you to plug a headphone.

what? tune-in is a web stream player as has already been said! nowhere does it mention about FM radio functionality. I myself have Tune-in pro and can see no such options to play from FM.

Wait, you have a Z1 without data connexion? I'm not sure that an app can really use only the FM radio and allow you to not plug a headset
For the FM i can see FM freq station in TuneIn Radio, but it seems that it's only for information? (didn't know that)

My friend I don't want to spend data on radio. Many android can, not good reception though

Not good reception for what FM or DATA? Try Spirit FM Radio

Anyway, Sony phones do not have a integrated FM antenna, you need to plug in the headset or a audio cable. No way around that I fear.

There are mods on lots of other xperia phones for this to work.
Try looking in the xperia T apps forum. That one may be compatable or you may find out how it was modded to work

Already tested all of them but non of these work
Thanks anyway!

Is using the headset as an antenna too much of an annoyance? I usually carry it around with me anyway.

The issue is that I sometimes want to sit at home and listen to the radio but don't want to put the headphones on because I want to be free to move and my phone is on charge or also connected to the PC etc....

You do not have to use the headphones as the output device, they just need to be plugged in. Try tabbing on the headphone icon in the upper left corner, it should toggle between headphone and speaker output.

OK, but still, its has been modded on most other xperia phones to enable this to work. I will have a look at it when I get some time, but this is low on my priority list and I am very busy ATM.
If someone is really desperate for it just OM one of the people that have done it for other phones and attack the Walkman.apk.

I never carry the headset with me as you do!! That's the reason why I want this mod.
