Coocks and expert question: is there any way to use radio FM with Bluetooth headset?

Considering the antenna is in that stupid little attachment, I don't think so. I could be wrong,l of course.

Doesn't radio work with bluetooth? I can hear every sound the phone makes when i use BT but i have never tryed the radio app. I think that it should work but i don't have the radio cable with me.

Not a cook or expert, but Yes, I am doing it right now.

You do need the bottom half of the Samsung earphone wire connected to the Omnia to use as the FM antenna or you do not pick up stations.

I have an iPhono BT headset that also came with a "doogle" to connect to the 3.5 jack on any device that does not have BT. I just disconnect the halves of the Samsung earphones and connected the doogle to the bottom half which is connected to the Omnia. ==> BT stereo headset for FM.

But if i understand this correctly... you're not using bt from your phone but you pluged a bt module into the headphone FM plug.

hmm... interesting and weird.... lol

yea that sounds about right.

Your bluetooth on the phone is not really whats working, its the dongle that transmits the BT to the headphones, but isnt that headphone specific or will the BT dongle work with other bluetooth headsets?

Technically you are right.

But the reality is:

1. My radio music is playing on my Omnia.

2. I hear it on my BT headset.

3. No wires to me. I can walk around some distance from the Omnia or have it on my belt.

Same end results I think. I really don't mind that there is a piece of technology in there somewhere. (It really is small.)

Whoops. Gotta go and put up my Va.Tech flag outside for the anniversary.

Yes for that BT headset, but they came together to work together if needed. When I got it I sure did not have the Omnia radio in mind.

But I do have it.

I use it.

It works with almost no extra effort. (Have to charge both doogle and headset, power or USB, but it came with a "Y" connector, so really no extra work or time.)

But most important I can: 1.)hear my radio Fm music, 2.)on my Omnia, 3.)with no wires to my head. And isn't that the goal here?

Remember, the original question of the post was "any way to use radio FM with Bluetooth headset?". Answer = "Yes".

PS-is there a generic doogle for 3.5 plug to BT out there that would work with most any BT headset? I think that would work the same as my setup.

But it would be wonderful to can hear radio by software (without doogle 3.5 to BT).
