    Some androids have fm radios and it uses the headphone cable as an antenna.

    I had a Motorola that did it and I think my workphone has it too.

      I recall my last phone didn’t need the headphones plugged in for the FM to work too bad it was super fragile causing the screen to shatter without getting dropped or touched durability aside I quite liked my old Motorola

        That is cool if it worked without them. It’s too bad it’s not more common on phones. There is something cool about receiving radio waves and hearing what’s being said.

        But last time I tried it, it was mostly commercials.
