Well now you raise a good point and one I did not think of actually, this would be a concern. I suppose if you pick an obscure frequency then you may be ok. I wonder though how strong is the signal, i would not be worried for example driving on a motor way as little or no chance of someone picking my frequency which has to have no station on it anyway

I will ask the developer though if there is a safety with regards to this though

Well, the FM transmitter your phone has is not so strong, and the probability of someone else in the transmitting range listening to the frequency you set is quite low, but they're not the only ones who are listening to the radio - there are some very powerful receivers out there, some military and some civilian, which are constantly scanning and monitoring frequencies for quite a long distance.
Would you like to share your private conversations with them that easily? I know I wouldn't...

Hi all,

I have a couple of request, perhaps these exist already or are in progress but I dont believe they are and may not even be possible.

Request 1:

Contact Login Notifier:

This would work similar to Microsoft Communicator or Yahoo Messanger notification of when a contact becomes online. Basically a little window or some kind of notification would appear for a second then disappear. Where I think this would be handy is that for me anyway I sit at a desk all day with the phone screen on always, I cant see if a contact logs in easily unless they are pinned to my home screen or i go into contacts directly.

Request 2:

Route Phone Through FM Transmitter:

Not sure if this is possible, but currently the FM transmitter can send sound from Radio/movies to my cars radio, is it possible to router the sound from a phone call to the radio via the FM transmitter ? This would mean no more need for BT headsets and no need to buy the expensive BT package when buying a new car. If this is possible there may be a problem as the car has no mic for me to speak into but many cars, mine anyway have a 3.5mil jack that I can attach a microphone to, could this be incorporated ?

Anyway hope someone thinks these are good ideas, they would be handy for me and im sure some other too.

Cheers

Colm

Idea 1 sounds like a good idea to me, and am sure that there must be a dbus signal which would be leveraged, in a similar fashon to the now playing notifier app does, which displays the song details whenever a song starts playing.

This would also be useful functionality to build into the mycontacts app and widgets.

Not too worried about government, military...well a couple of 5 year old kids could over power the Irish army so even if they had the funding to buy a receiver i doubt they do though :)
