[Q] FM Radio through MHL? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Greetings
I'm struggling with one thing on my new lovely device:
I can't get my Ultra to play FM radio through HDMI. Here's the details
- I've tried to root and use Spirit2 player and Soundabout manipulation app.
- My TV is not MHL compatible, could this have effect?
TuneIn and other sources work, but I can not use volume control with these. It's on mute or on full volume and nothing between. Is this also because my TV doesn't support MHL?
Edit:
Ok so apparently Spirit2 app can use FM radio without headset -> Now FM radio will play through MHL / HDMI. But if I plug in the headset I've got no way to get the audio through HDMI. Or I don't know solution for it, does anyone?
- Headset is pretty important because the reception is bad without it.
SOLUTION FOUND:
Just snap off the head of the 3.5 jack so that only thickest ground part takes contact. Now the phone won't recognize headset and I'm able to put audio through MHL/HDMI with .spirit2 FM tuner app. From .spirit2 option you have to unmark all the voice output options and then MHL/HDMI feed will be enabled.

[Q] Sync HD2 with car so can press previous/next on the radio to change songs?

Can it be done?
When I connect via aux cable with my car nothing happens when I press previous/next on the car radio.
Thanks
Probably bc the standard 3.5mm headphone jack is only for transmitting audio, not to control anything.
This should be possible if you have a radio with USB input for flash drives or ipods but not over an aux cable. Perhaps you could try to find an aux cable with the track forward/reverse built in to the cable? I know I've seen headphones with it but not sure about the cable alone..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I had an aux in fitted in my car and was told the next/previous would work. When it didnt they said it would only work on a ipod. Interesting comment about the cable - anyone able to confirm whether the headphones lead is different?
To be honest, with the swipe action on the music player, this doesnt really bother me as its easy to do this whilst driving. However, I'd like to switch to another music app given the random function doesnt work properly....
I definitely know where youre coming from, I've always used an ipod for music, but want to use my mt4g now (or try to).
I messed around today and here's what I've came up with:
with the aux cable (standard 3.5mm headphone cable) you only have control of the tracks on the device, not with the radio's controls. you might be able to find cable with seek buttons built in (like some headphones) to make it easier but I've never actually seen one.
If your radio has a usb input on it you can connect your phone via usb, mount the sd card (as if using mass storage on a comp) and your radio should detect and read it as a flash drive. going this route your phone will charge, but you'll ONLY be able to control tracks from the radio head unit and you wont be able to listen to Slacker Radio or Pandora or other similar apps via usb. another plus is that the processing is done by the headunit, thus you could use your headunits random function.
The last option (that I think is king) is if you have a bluetooth enabled headunit, the HD2 can stream audio over bluetooth (a2dp) to your radio. You could then pair and stream music, Slacker, Pandora, etc and maintain control on the device (I would prefer control on device and radio, but i dont see this happening) wirelessly. One huge plus to me is that you can charge it while keeping fully functionality with only one cable.
I cant find a cable with anything other than volume controls, but I wonder if either of these options would help

I've been using a BT Venturi Mini for about a year now and it works perfect. You can change streamed track/ stop start and it has no wires.So no mess, best investment ever. Plus, you can pick up calls/ voicemail via car stereo too.
Sound quality excellent, especially when you increase BT pool bitrate via HD2 tweak.
Perhaps if someone modded the headphones that come with the HD2 so that they go from 3.5 to 3.5 with the controls in the middle of the wire to use ?

[Q] HDMI video out but with Bluetooth audio?

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to route the audio to a Bluetooth device when the HDMI cable/connector is plugged in, as opposed to the audio going to whatever is plugged in at the end of the HDMI cable.
TIA
OH MY GOD
NO ONE REPLIED???
I really need this.. IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!!
I need to make it so that the headphone jack on the dock will still work when the hdmi is connected.

Just got my HDMI connector and I want to play the video through it, but the audio through my Bluetooth speakers. It does not seem to allow me to do this. Even though I connect the Bluetooth speakers, all audio comes through the tinny speakers on my monitor.
Has anyone managed to get Bluetooth audio working when connected with the HDMI adaptor?
In the app, SoundAbout, I can use HDMI video with audio output to the Phone speaker and headphones. The only problem is when connecting HDMI, the phone seems to disable the Bluetooth adapter.
I am guessing this is done so that the audio will go through HDMI. They don't ever expect you to use HDMI video with Bluetooth A2DP audio.
I am also trying to do the same. The only solution that I came up with was to route the TV's audio output to a Bluetooth transmitter which will send the audio to the Bluetooth speakers. I haven't yet tried that solution to comment on the audio quality or its sync with the movie.
you can check out the transmitter at amazon, search: "TaoTronics Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter"

SIRIUS XM Radio in car sync with note?

My car 2008 mitsubishi eclipse gt se. Dosent have any inputs,or bluetooth for music which stinks it has a awesome stock system a 650-watt (max.) Rockford-Fosgate Premium Audio system with SIRIUS Satellite Radio, including 6-month pre-paid subscription....The system plays through nine speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer.
So heres my question without bluetooth or inputs to my radio, the sirius satellite radio has a ID/ESN number right? to link it...is there a way to connect to it with my phone, like push music through some type of channel or something?....i hate not having any inputs on my car radio, But I want to keep it stock , just trying to figure out any ideas,or people thoughts on this......thanks
the link was removed by the system it says
I got an adapter like that on ebay for a factory CD changer on a 2004 Chrysler and it has been perfect.
so where does the adapter plug into?...im confused i have no inputs?...just a 6 disk changer in head unit...so i was thinking of a way to carry a signal thru sirus perhaps?
from the ebay listing found doing a search for "aux input mitsubishi eclipse":
*2005-2009 models without Factory Navigation Radio
Mitsubishi aux input to 3.5mm (headphone) Replaces Mitsubishi MZ360135EX
Cable is 3 foot long.
This cable allows an Auxiliary audio source to be played through your factory radio. Radio must be aux capable. To find out turn on your radio and press down and hold down the CD button. Radio should then enter ''AUX'' mode, seen on Radio screen.
Aux input port wire in through your factory wiring harness. Very easy to do. The hardest part is removing the radio. Full installation directions are available via Email upon request.
This kit will plug into the headphone plug on a source such as a Microsoft Zune, Zen Player, iRiver, SanDisc, Samsung player and any other mp3 player.
You can get an FM transmitter. You plug the phone into the transmitter and it broadcasts the audio over a non-used FM channel. You set your radio to that channel and recieve your audio.
For example,

or

I use a Bluetooth speakerphone with a built-in fm transmitter. It puts the mic right in front of you and sends the output to the stereo.
Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.
cool, thanks for the advice and imput....gonna check out to see if i have a aux through menu..never seen it before,,though sometimes its behind the head unit....if not gonna go transmitter route....

whoa i never seen one of those before....Have you seen anything like that for a Samsung note? If not just gonna buy a cheap ipod touch i use it for music...i like that idea...thanks
If neither of those ebay items does Bluetooth to FM, take a look at Sound Fly, they have several models (they also do audio jack to FM and built-in SD card reader to FM). I like BT to FM better because its one less thing to fiddle with each time I get into and out of my car. Pull my phone out of my pocket, hit play and go. Even when streaming XM via the data connection it only pulls 15% of the battery per hour so I don't bother plugging in a charge connection either.
By the way, do not bother with the SiriusXM app if you have an online account. It will NOT give you the full 128 kbps you can get with other options (such as streaming from your desktop computer). Get Xiia Lite from the market and go to mobile.musicdock.com. Make sure you set 128 in the settings after you log into musicdock, then set up your favorite channels, and you are good to go. Much better sound.

DTS/Surround5.1 output via MHL usb to hdmi not working, only stereo, why?

I'm using a LeTV x900 (or Le Max), which sports the Snapdragon 810 as well as USB Type C.
I'm using a USB-C to HDMI MHL adapter (made specifically for this brand of phone) to output audio to my yamaha receiver, as I want to listen to DTS tracks on my home stereo. The receiver sees the HDMI signal from my phone. I use MX Player, which plays the DTS tracks fine (I have the one with DTS support and the right codecs installed), which plays the files just fine. Yet for some reason the receiver is only receiving a stereo signal, so its only giving me 2.0 sound, not see any more than 2 channels in the first place. I'd like to at least play 5.1 (if not 7.1) files. I can't for the life of me figure out what step I'm missing. I even went so far as to install Dolby Atmos on android but that was a no go too. Any ideas?

FM radio through Bluetooth headset

Hi!! I was wondering if there's any way of listening to the fm radio through the Bluetooth headset instead of using the wire one or the speakers. I saw on the Samsung s9 that the radio app has and option to output the sound through the Bluetooth device connected but on the poco is doesn't exist.
I tried to install the s9 apk into the poco but it didn't work and I don't see that the poco has any way of selecting when having Bluetooth and wire headset connected.
I know that the wire on the headset works as the fm antena but I make it work just by cutting the plug of an old headset and plugging it in to trick the radio, now all I need is to be able to redirect the sound to the Bluetooth
I'd expect there would be an app that can just copy the audio output that's going to the headphones to the BT output.
There's an app called TuneIn Radio that might be able to deliver local radio stations without using the actual FM receiver if you have WiFi or mobile data on. When I tried it it wanted my location then offered some local radio stations.

Just buy a cheap earphones, cut the 3.5mm Jack and leave it
If there should be a magisk module that can even spoof physical port as it's connected or particularly spoof fm app that device is connected with headphone then that'd be great!

--install apk from play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordskog.LesserAudioSwitch
---than change to headset after that fm start working(than turn on speaker)
---to route on blutooth just change output(android 11+ or some custom roms) to Bluetooth
->>>reliable means always works root requires
--Just flash magisk module lsposed(zygisk version preferred) :- https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed/releases/tag/v1.8.3
--Than after reboot install Xposed module(apk) : https://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/...xoverrideheadphonejackdetection_v5_547951.apk
---Than activate module choose system framwork , now you can manually change to
