Very annoying

[neriano]

It's been a while I've been bothered with an n95 feature but I was too bored to write about it. But, since no one else complains, I am posting to see if I am doing something wrong.
I am listening to music, through stereo bt (a2dp), or wired, no difference. Since I don't want to be bothered, i have turned OFF the notification sounds of Calendar. A calendar alarm goes off. No sound is heard, but the music gets interrupted for approx. 1 min every 2 seconds (ie each time the alarm flashes on the screen). I have to reach to my phone and press the stop button for the calendar alarm to stop and the music to resume normally. Any thoughts?

The application probably has priority over the sound controller. You have notification sounds turned off but that simply mutes the sound and doesn't disable the application from using the sound controller.

Therefore when both your stereo and calender app. request to use sound, the calender application takes the cake and leaves the radio running but not able to access the sound.

Get what i mean....?

I'm afraid I do. That's what I thought myself. So should this be considered a bug or what?

I wouldn't say it's a bug, it's probably correct for the calendar notification to have priority over the music player. If I had an important appointment coming up, I would certainly be more annoyed if I missed it than if my music was interrupted.

like randomfan says, it's not a bug. Everything that runs in an OS environment is assigned priorities depending on how important the feature or application is and what it is dependant on and what is dependant on it.

On your phone, your calender gets priority over the music player and your actual phone call manager gets priority over both of those so that way if you get a call, it will interrupt anything else and alert you there is a call, thus stoping the sound from your music and your alarm.

still, I believe that if i turn sounds off i should not get any sound message (interruption), only a visual one. The way it goes now, the actual notification is a "blank" sound (silence) which you only perceive if another sound (music) is on. Ridiculous!
