Guest memoreks Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 This is an odd one: I am currently on my 3rd mpx200. The first one I had I spilt oil all over (and had it replaced with the 2nd one through Orange Care) The second one I had, when closing the phone to end a call, gave a squeak of feedback as the clam closed, indicating that the phone call had not hung up until about half a second before the closing of the phone. The caller on the other end of the line also gets an earful of feedback. I phoned Orange concerning this, and they replaced it with a whole new boxed phone: No. 3 (charger, etc. the lot). This 3rd one does exactly the same as the 2nd one, but the 1st mpx I had didnt do it at all. Has anyone else noticed this, or have I been deeply unlucky in getting two phones with the same fault? Is it something I should be taking back to Orange, or is it an "undocumented feature" that I will have to put up with?
Guest mcwarre Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 A bit unlucky I think! If you get the same fault three times O will offer you an alternate phone....... Wouldn't it be unlucky if it happened for the third time just after MPx220 is released???? :lol
Guest martin Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 The second one I had, when closing the phone to end a call, gave a squeak of feedback as the clam closed, indicating that the phone call had not hung up until about half a second before the closing of the phone. The caller on the other end of the line also gets an earful of feedback. Is it feedback or is it an audible alert ? (it might be the call-drop sound) I don't have an MPX200 so I can't say if there is an extra sound used for the phone closing but it would still be associated with one of the Sound Categories. Try temporarily setting the volume to off on the following. Programs-Settings-Profiles (Menu-Edit active profile), Notification Volume=off and System=off Programs-Settings-Accessibility, In-call alert volume=off This should silence ALL sounds that use the Sound Categories Notification, system and In-call. Check if the sound still occurs.
Guest memoreks Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Thanks for the ideas. I have tried turning all the sounds off but it seems like it is feedback. I don't know whether I can be bothered to send it back now. I'll see how I get on.
Guest nxsfan Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah mine does the same, as quite sensibly the motorola doesnt hang up the call till it's fully closed. It is feedback, because when you close the phone the microphone and the speaker are next to each other. I think everyone will have this problem who has the mpx200, i dont know how your first one didn't suffer from this.
Guest Big D Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah, mine does it as well, I hadn't really noticed it until my wife called me from my MPX and I got an earful of feedback.
Guest memoreks Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 For those who are interested, I have contacted Orange and they are sending me out yet another one, as a friend of mine complained that I nearly deafened him when I hung up yesterday. Hopefully this one will be better. :roll:
Guest spartanrob Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I'm on ATT in the US and have the same problem, I haven't called them, i was just living with it. I am curious if a new phone will solve the problem.
Guest pembo Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 SAme problem here too.. I've just learnt to hang up before closing the phone. My girlfriend always winged at me for hurting her ears.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Looks like I will have to take the phone apart again to try and locate the mechanism for the closing, :twisted: I presume it may be in the screen half of the phone,which is more awkward to take apart :?
Guest p0pid0l Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 thanx for the heads up, i hope mine doesnt do this :lol: its coming soon hopefully :) then i will be able to join in the joyful banter :D
Guest pembo Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 .....I think everyone will have this problem who has the mpx200, i dont know how your first one didn't suffer from this. I agree, its just something MPX users will have to live with. It doenst really bother me, because the phone is no where near my ears when i close it up, it just hurts the other persons ears on the line :)
Guest MECX Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 just dont be runde and hang-up on people!!! :) Is the feedback really that bad---like does it hurt your ears????? wow that really is a bad design :roll:
Guest pembo Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Doesnt hurt the users ears, cos the phone is no where near your ear when you close your phone... All's i hear is a small beeping type noise, but my girlfriend sure as hell complains about it...
