Guest Firaas Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I'm getting a really annoying buzzing noise in the background when someone speaks down the phone - best demonstrated by a call to 150. It sounds like the vibration of something caused by the speaker, and is difficult to describe. Am I the only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psneddon Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 No I think it is like that on all e200's and I am hopeful that it will fixable in software as it only happens with bassy sounds it does not happen badly on all calls but I must say that compared to the original SPV i had the quality is aweful. Saying that the quality of ringtones is good which also makes me that it may be at least part cause by software. Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lowbug Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I've noticed that.. Nokia 6210's used to do this when low on signal. It's not low on signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rikwebb Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Mines doing it too..... Could just be an inferior speaker? Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rryan Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Just phoned 156 for some help on getting bluetooth dialup working and the buzzing tinny sound was awefull! - I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned more. I'm sure it's a software issue though but how long must we wait for a fix? Looking at the situation with the spv/spv e100 it will be a very long time. The speakerphone on the other hand is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danbassy Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Just got my E200, not really impressed with the buzzing/vibration noise... i might send it back and get the mpx200... Do you really think a software fix will sort this out?? i think it is just the build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbloore Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 No I think it is like that on all e200's and I am hopeful that it will fixable in software as it only happens with bassy sounds it does not happen badly on all calls but I must say that compared to the original SPV i had the quality is aweful. Â The sound on my E200 is fine - as good as the original SPV. So I would be surprised if the problem that a lot of people seem to be experiencing is software related.

Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Yeh, surely if its a fault with the speakerphone itself then its harware related :?: Mine varies from time to time but 90% of the time I get a clean and clear voice call :lol: spacecowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest acharalambous Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Yeah, I got the E200 on friday, played with it all day and then actually made a phone call with it in the evening. Awful sound quality. It got so's I couldnt understand some of what the person on the other end was saying. How could this not have been picked up on during testing? I love the phone, but sadly, it still has to function like a phone, and as far as making calls is concerned, it doesn't work properly so I'm sending mine back. I do hope this is fixable, and when I hear that the problems been solved, then I might buy another one. Until then, I'll stick to my nokia 8210. Not exactly a smartphone, but the sound quality is crisp and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jordy Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 This was annoying me as well. Tried the supplied headset to test voice call quality and there it was, a buzzing sound though not quite as tinny as from the internal speaker. Its a bit like the gain has been turned up too far overdriving the speakers. Looks like a software issue to me and I'll be keeping the phone.

Guest steeevc Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Yeh my speaker is really buzzy as well, seems to improve if you push hard against the case next to it which suggests a problem with the speaker. I've also found my screen flickers slightly sometimes, especially when playing games with sound. Maybe a dodgy batch..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikespod Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 :lol: mine too folks. getting a new one sent out tomorrow. will let you know how it goes. they haven't heard of this problem yet at faults centre, so maybe it is a bad batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snakeeater Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I noticed it too. It doesnt really bother me that much as the phone is such a capable phone in so many other areas, although it would be nice if it didnt happen. One thing worth noting, when speaking to someone via bluetooth using the M3000 Plantronics headset the quality is far better, almost perfect. Whats that all about :oops: PS: Does the other person get a poor quality too or is it just on us E200 owners side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bikespod Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 sorry to tell you, but the faults dept person at orange could hear the appalling sound quality too. keep fingers crossed for this replacement. i'm gutted, i haven't even had a chance for a proper play yet. i will prob keep it anyway as no other phone can really offer all this. unless anyone knows different?? let me know as diff handset is the next stage should i choose to go down this route. :lol: ;) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mdw_cubed Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Mines buzzing to :lol: Dialed 152 this morning (first call on the phone) and there's the buzzing sound.

Guest bikespod Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 sorry double post. why does it do this when Posting from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mdw_cubed Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'm wondering whether it is the speaker at all. I played some music through Media Player player and there was no buzz at all. :? I haven't tried it with dialogue through Media Player yet though.

Guest Thurstan Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Oh no! Noticed this straight away on my new E200. But I made a call on another E200 the other day and didn't notice anything like this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gameonthego Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Its not the speaker cause I have a bluetooth headset and its the same in that most the time. Its the bass level of the call - some weird resonnance efffect. Funny enough if you hold the phone slightly farther away from your ear it gets better. I hope that the software can be tweaked to change the audio output but I doubt this since the telephony software is all done seperate I think.
