Listening to radio on new 3G iPhone

Hi
I purchased the original iPhone in April and was disappointed that it was not possible to listen to FM radio. I found that I could stream some stations such as Capital FM on musicradio.com over the Edge network, however, it would cut out immediately when on the move.
I intend to upgrade to the new 3G phone this month but wanted to know if the 3G network would be able to support radio streaming without interuptions when travelling? I live and commute in London.
If it is not possible to do this over the Safari browser, are then any software options available to me?
Many thanks,
Carl

BBC Radio 1 works with ooTunes. It supports windows media, real audio and mp3/aac streams.
See:

or

for a list of stations.
NOTE: Since I am the developer of ooTunes..
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Listening to Radio Streams on the iPhone

Can you listen to a AM/FM radio station that is being streamed on-line using the iPhone's Safari?
I subscribed to MLB.com to listen to baseball games and wondering if you can listen to an audion stream on the iPhone.
Any info would be appreciated.

I've said this before and I'll say it again:
Streaming audio on an iPhone would throw a pie in the face of XM and Sirius. Apple and AT&T would be insane not to go after this market.
After all, why subscribe to a satellite radio service when you have every internet radio site in your pocket at all times?

I have had IPhones since their inception. Last phone was the 5. A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
Here is my issue.
On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work. The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error. The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update. There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Trouble listening to radio apps when iphone is in docking station??

I bought a Phillips combo ipod docking station, cd player, etc. It plays my ipod fine. The makers claimed that is is compatible with iphone also, however when I try to listen to my radio apps on my iphone with it in the docking station so I can utilize the larger speakers, It plays the radio app for a few seconds, and then the ipod player of the iphone will automatically come on and start playing. Is there a way to lock it so it wont come when you are listening to other apps?

Listening to Radio. Need you guys' advice.

Hi guys,
I use Blackberry curve/Sprint on $30 SERO plan which covers unlimited data/text/weekend call/night call starting 7pm, and 500 min talk. It's such a cheap and great plan I don't really want to give up. The thing is, the Blackberry su*ks.
I am willing to give up the plan for an iPhone 3gs if it works for me. I listen to news/talk show or music radios all day long, not exactly all day long 'cause the blackberry refuses to work that hard, and sometimes it doesn't make it through a day. shame.
Checking the iPhone 3gs' tech specs, I found that it holds up to 5 hours on 3G. Since it doesn't have FM radio, the only way I listen to radio stations is using its 3g network, which means it's not going to make it through a day, either, I guess.
Any advice? Should I just give up and buy a mp3 player with FM radio function?

Well, that would probably be the best way to go; then you'll not deplete the iPhone's charge.
But I was able to listen to many internet radio stations on my original 2G (EDGE) iPhone. So you could disable 3G and probably substantially extend battery life.

On an iPod Touch.. ? No, they do not have a built-in FM radio, I think some of the new small iPod models do in fact have an FM radio as part of the package.

Why can't I listen to radio stations and run a download on the ipad2 at the same time as with the original iPad

why can't I listen to radio stations and run a downloaded program at the same time with the ipad2 as I could with the original iPad?
is there something in the new one that I have not turned on?

Nothing needs to be turned on. What apps are you attempting to use? Perhaps the versions you have don't support background operation.
Regards.

As of iTunes 11.1 and iOS7, podcast files will no longer play in the Music app on the iPhone (this is very annoying, but that's the way it is).
The two easiest options are probably:
What Apple wants you to do: download and install their free Podcasts app onto your iOS device. In theory your podcasts, including the BBC news one, should sync onto the Podcasts app. This is supposed to "Just work", and if it just works for you, well, congratulations, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case for most posters in this forum.
What I'm leaning towards: for all podcasts in iTunes, Get Info, and change them from "Media Kind = Podcasts" to "Media Kind = Audiobook". That will allow them to sync to the Music app. Then you'll have to arrange smart playlists or whatever to sync those (ex-)"podcasts" to your Music app.

Sirius Internet Radio via Safari on iPhone 3G

Seems that you get to the final listen screen on the new 2.0 software. But...... Sirius doesnt seem to play. It seems soooooo close!!! Anyone have any luck listing via iPhone and using Internet?
Seems like a Sirius issue if I had to guess. Hope they make the right decision and get something remedied for iPhone and arent short sighted about their Steletto product. They will get soooo many new subscribers if we can turn the iPhone into a Sirius player!!!!!

Hi,
Open System Preferences / Flip4Mac. Select the Update tab.
Click: Check for update
Just in case that's the issue. Latest version is 2.3.6.5

Clock-Radio, External Speaks for IPhone?

I recently started looking into getting a clock-radio, external speaker unit for my iphone. I went to Best Buy and messed with the ones they had on display but there is a problem. When I dock the iphone it wants to turn it to airplane mode to reduce the noise problem. I guess I was just wondering if there is a clock-radio made for that iphone that doesn't require this. It doesn't have to be a ****-radio system, as I never listen to the radio. I guess I'm looking for a nice external speaker set with a dock. Any suggestions?
Note: I am aware there is a bose system, however, I'm looking for something around the 100$ price range or under. Thanks

the iHome in the Apple Store works well with iPhone. I went into an Apple Store not too long ago and my phone worked with every speaker for iPod in there.

Compatible: iPod car charger cable with new Verizon iPhone...Safe?

Compatibility between my iPod cable in the car which is connected to a radio interface in which I plug in/ charge/play my iPod AND my new Verizon iPhone. Will the cable in the car safely charge and 'read' my iPhone? I would hate to blow this thing up But if it is compatible, it saves me much aggravation.

Hey Alan Seglin & welcome to the forums.
Whether it will work or not depends on a few things.
The biggest factor is age of the radio interface. A lot of older interfaces aren't designed with the iOS devices in mind and so do not charge them properly or allow the user to control it. What kind of iPod are you using with your stereo right now?
You may find that you can play music but have no real control over the iPhone & it may not be charged, either. You shouldn't see anything harmful happen to your stereo or your phone, though.
