Controlling MP3 play using front phone interface. IS IT POSSIBLE?

3 replies · 2,775 views · Started 24 November 2004

I just want to know if it is possible to control at list basic functions like Play, Stop, Next from the front of the phone when cover is closed. It would make it a very nice MP3 player if you could do this. Also is it possible to lunch MP3 player (or any other applications) using front buttons?

What can or can't be controlled from the phone interface?

I know that in my Nokia 9290 I can assign any button on the front (if it were already too many unused buttons) to activate internal application. I used Call End button (hold 2 secs.) to activate voice dial app inside and it worked pretty well.

ATM,the MP3 player is available and can be started only from the PDA side.Maybe some smart developer will do something about it.
