Why our method is useful

In almost all modern smartphones, you can listen to the FM radio only with the wired headset, because the headphones act as an antenna. If they are not inserted in the socket, the system simply blocks the launch of the program. Based on this, if you just connect a headset, Bluetooth FM receiver on Android will not be able to work, because it works only with the wire. We want to tell the method that will give the opportunity to listen to the radio using your wireless headset.

Method 1

This option is ideal for devices that have a standard function for listening to the radio. Yet, the presence of a wired headset will also be necessary. The main thing is that you will be using the standard FM Radio app for Android. Wired earphones will serve as an antenna, and the sound output will be broadcasted via Bluetooth using a third-party program. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Connect a wireless headset to the device.
  2. The default sound of the radio program will go to a wired headset, so in order to avoid it I advise to download and run «MonoBluetoothRouter» app. The application is suitable for any type and firm of the device, and it will redirect all the sounds to the wireless headset. If you have a stereo headset, then it is possible that the phone will redirect the entire multimedia stereo to it.
  3. Press «On» and hide the window.
