X3-02 device error - weird issue

[rslama]

Hi,

can someone from Nokia answer me about follow issue?

try {
Manager.playTone(ToneControl.C4, 500, 100);

} catch (MediaException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

When is on X3-02 sound switch off .. Manager throw device error but if I change sound from silent to normal everything is ok.
Why it is ? And why I have to solve issue as this ? It's another example how Nokia implementing JSR into their handset ...

The JSR-135 says about playTone and Exceptions
"MediaException - Thrown if the tone cannot be played due to a device-related problem."

To me that throwing that exception when sounds are off feels like reasonable interpretation of this specification, although I am not sure if this approach is consistent with other phones and platforms.

And no, this is not an official answer - I am in no position to make those kinds of statements. It is just my opinion.
