For Your Ears Only

For Your Ears Only is a Symbian app that automatically pauses the music player when the headset is disconnected.

It is inspired by how Android works, and also headphone daemon for Maemo.

At the moment, only Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition) onwards is supported. Specifically, it has been tested on the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia N97. I believe it is possible to adapt it for 3rd edition, but I haven't had time to look at it closely.

It does not work on Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD).

For Your Ears Only is a rough prototype, and should be improved with a background running auto starting daemon.

Usage

  1. Install For Your Ears Only
  2. Start the music player (must be started before For Your Ears Only starts)
  3. Start For Your Ears Only
  4. Connect a headset
  5. Play music in the music player
  6. Pull out the headset cord - music stops!

Versions

  • 0.10 - First version. Basically a prototype. It works!

Hallelujah! Been searchin so long for YOUR tool, great! If you´d find a way to make it S60v3-compatible you would be truly me hero of the month! Thats a must-have killer-app imho - go on! Big up to you!

Second that, would love to have S60 3rd edition support too.

Comment by consider...@gmail.com, Nov 18, 2009

You are our saviors! But, please, please... remember about poor s60 3rd edition users... :(

wonderful app.certificate not valid anymore though.

Does this work with the Nokia Podcasting app? If not, could it? Please??

Comment by project member teknolog, Jan 6, 2010

Yes I'll try to make it work on 3rd edition too, but it's completely different APIs there.

Since the Nokia Podcasting app does not have its own player, but relies on the Music Player, it should work fine.

Hi, I've just tried this on my Samsung Omnia i8910. Sadly it fails halfway across the installation bar simply saying "Unable to install". A shame since it is a great idea.

Comment by project member teknolog, Jan 18, 2010

Sadly I don't have an i8910 to test on. ForYourEarsOnly depends on "plug in APIs", that likely are not included on the i8910. Maybe they will appear in the next firmware update.

HI, i installed the app on my Nokia 5800 Musicxpress and followed the instructions carefully, but still when i pull out the headset the music keeps on playing. please advise.

thank you, shuki.

Comment by project member teknolog, Feb 7, 2010

If you're using the normal music player, I don't see why it doesn't work. So the sound comes through your speakers when you pull out the headset?

Comment by charlesr...@gmail.com, Feb 15, 2010

This will be one of the most useful Symbian Apps ever made. Goodluck on the future development. Thanksalot for this.

Comment by freeman...@gmail.com, Feb 23, 2010

when are you going to update this app?

Comment by project member teknolog, Feb 24, 2010

When Escarpod has been contributed to Symbian I might take a look at this again.

Comment by TonyK...@gmail.com, Mar 1, 2010

This should come in the next firmware update just like the Sony Ericsson Walkman.

Comment by Invisibl...@gmail.com, Mar 6, 2010

I'm a symbian developer, and i was looking for a way to handle headset connection/disconnection in s60 3rd FP2.

Comment by sandeep...@gmail.com, Jul 1, 2010

please make it compatible with s60v3. It is probably one of the most useful apps you could have.

Comment by f4t...@gmail.com, Aug 28, 2010

Are yoy planning to update this software to s60v3?

Comment by tmsla...@gmail.com, Sep 8, 2010

I've been searching for this all day, but this was the only hopeful result. Sadly, it doesn't work on my Nokia N78 (S60V3?) :( Don't you know any alternative of this software for S60V3?? Or could you please make a S60V3? version? I would be really grateful for that.

Comment by rangan2...@gmail.com, Oct 8, 2010

Comment by cali...@gmail.com, Nov 16, 2010
