Can we turn the radio function on without inserting the headset? is that possible by modifiying firmware?
yap patch is available for k750i w800i...etc
But radio can't work without antenna and headset is also use for antenna.
if you apply patch, only in one condition radio works properly without hands free. if you touch any steel pin or whatever to the pins where you attach hands free.OR it works when your finger touch to the pins.
Reason: at that time your finger OR steel works as an antenna.
Hope you understand.
You can put the Radio without headset patch for your phone.
Yup, his totally right about that! but its pretty troublesome since you have to touch the pins at the bottom to have the radio working properly.Quote:

I know that at least on the W300 you can listen to the radio through the built in speaker (still needs headset attached as antenna but not necesarily listen through it).
Another option, as mentioned would be to customize with the patch but it would work OK if you have a very strong FM signal near. Otherwise, you don't pick up anything.
It is not practical in my opinion ..
FM radio CANNOT WORK without an antenna , your supplied headset
does this antenna job.
If you apply the patch , you still need to something to replace the headset's
function of signal reception , in this case , by using your fingers .
So you practically remove that hands-free previlige and keep your hand tied
to your phone --- sounds awfull.
By the way ..
Does any one know how to replace a k700 headset phone connector with that
of a k510 headset ?? Reason for asking : I have a very good k700 headset,
my k510 headset sound rather muted ,in comparison , so I wonder if I can
switch the connectors ..
Any picture tutorial ??
when you turn on the radio on a w300, you can then turn on the external speaker. no real reason to apply the patch since it's easier to just plug in the headset then it is to rig up an antenna.
Puting that patch is not that practical if you plan to listen to radio too much because you have to keep your fingers on the 2nd and 3rd pins or the fastport connector which keeps your hands busy all the time.
is there any way to use the charger as antena instead of handfree while charging the phone
liuke you said touching the pins and is this all possible on w810i
where is that patch
i put this patch on my MAIN and...the radio works without headset!!!!! but....in fact...it needs the headset because it's cable works as an antenna because the phone doesn't have an internal radio antenna.
my k700 was broken and my connector didn't work. so the phone act like i have my handsfree pluged in. i was listening to radio withot antena:D

My question is how to make use of the USB kabel as radio antena? Does anybody knows vhich pin/wire on headset cable is used as antenna?
Is it SP REF (speaker common reference, pin-2 on new 12pin SE connector) used as antenna or any other?
Can the GND (pin 9) or other (which?) pin from USB cable be used as the radio antenna and short-connected it to antena pin (pin-2 or other?) in USB cable to phone connector? Provided that this is correct it would also probably require to short pin 8 vith 9 to recognize the USB cable as a headset as the VPPFLASH (pin 8) shorted to GND (pin 9) on headset cable connector for headset recognition.
macril, can you provide info here or on PM how you solved this with your charger?
Anybody has advice or experience with this, or maybe has already tried this?
Yes. You Can Apply vkp Patches. See Patches For All DB2020 CID52 Phones - Top Sony Forums For Details And Patches.Quote:

Using a staple works great, but I really think there should be a way we can mod it so it can have an internal antenna of sorts.
Hello! i just applied the no headset radio patch. Yeah i still need to connect the headset to get better signal. But I noticed that even if after I connected the headset, the signal quality is not good as it was before I used the patch? ???
that patch is not great i have installed it and now i regret it
alot of you just need to read the first page... you could rig up a charger to act as a antenna too....
And how stupid is that? Why to do it easy when we can complicate?Quote:

you can use the hands free that is been destroyed, especially with tiny ear speakers. Wire and mobile phone jack acts as antenna of FM, you can use it as only as antenna while switching on loudspeaker of mobile.
oo thats funnyQuote:
