Thats crap. You cannot listen to fm without plugging in the headset in any phone. The headset wire acts as the aerial and receives the fm radio waves and sends it to the phone. Thats why without the headset we cannot tune in to fm radio.

I suppose it is not possible, because the headset acts as an antenna for the reciever to receive its signals...You can modify the circuitery to switch on the FM without headset but in that case you have to attach a wire to receive signals...

^^^ Right said dude u can't do the trick without additional hardware but u can create alternatives to the headset for antenna.

Check this link where someone created the FM antenna from mobile charger:

Lets see if someone here can come up with similar alternative for their phone ....

Not much to say. Another Crazy dude got here first.

But I have a point. Tinkering with H/W of phone just to listen to FM. What do you want? Isn't it better to listen to FM personally. Next you would want to attach 3000W stereo boxes to listen to the FM!!! Listening to FM personally with the headphone is more realistic and practical. Only minus point is that you would have to carry your headphone with you.

@ hydeabadi, ok, let me guess this, ur frnd (d thread starter) posted here and got bad replies. He told u and after 1yr when u were getting bored (or got hit by some rod/stick/stone in ur head) u remembered that ur idea was pawned sometime back.

U registered in this forum, searched the particular thread and then used some foul words to claim justice.

That must be a tough task to do:rolleyes::rolleyes::D

We believe in freedom of speech, that doesn't mean u've d right to speak foul against someone. Behave or u'll be reported.:mad::evil:

yup, Hydrabadi, i suggest you get a life.....

by the way, yes, it is possible to use your phone radio without headset, but its not very clear and there is a "hiss" in the backgroud. The tutorial is on Orkut for K750i, you need to patch the phone.:)
