B B C Radio On An Unsupported Device

Featured Replies

After months of being unable to listen to BBC Radio 2 on my Dell Streak-5 as it's an 'Unsupported Device' according to the BBC site, I have a solution.

As always no warranty is implied or inferred, YMMV smile.png

Instructions.

Go to the Android Market and download and install :-

Opera Mobile

Adobe Flash (if you don't already have it of course)

Then:-

Fire up Opera

Press the big red O bottom right

Press 'Settings'

Scroll down and press 'Advanced'

Press 'User Agent' and select 'Desktop'

Press back

press 'Adobe Flash' and select 'Enabled'

Press back a few times and go to BBC.co.uk/radio

Scroll down and choose your favourite station

Click either 'Listen Live' to listen live or 'Homepage' if you want to use 'Listen Again'

You should now be able to listen. smile.png

This should work with any browser that lets you pretend to be a desktop or force load the desktop site (I think some versions of the Android browser let you do that, mine doesn't).

Add an FM transmitter thingy (or plug into the Aux input on the car stereo) and listen to Chris Evans (from yesterday) on the way to work. :)

Alternatively go to market and download TuneIn radio and search for BBC Radio 5. Works for me.

Indeed it does, for the live stream, can't use Listen Again though :(
