headset issue for MPX200... fixed?

[Guest wasyed]

hey not sure if this issue has been addressed but i read a couple of your topics and didn't notice anyone who fixed the headset problem.. but this is what happened to me. when i first recieved my phone with the stereo headset it often dropped calls as many of you have been experiencing. so then i found out that whenever i jiggle the headset is when it actually loses connection and drops the call. some people thought it was just when the phone is closed some people thought it was just when it was open. but i noticed that once in a while when i hit a bump in the car it loses the connection. thats when i figured HEY jiggle the headset while its in the socket and see what happens... and sure enough it lost the connection with who i was talking to.

then I thought to myself hmmm what if i try another headset that did not come with the phone. so i tried my old mono motorola v66 headset... again same problem :evil: . and then I found my mono jabra headset I purchased seperately a while ago (not the same supplied to some of you from at&t who are still having the problem) and with the jabra... WOW it works! i jiggled, hung the phone from the headset, wiggled some more, and still never lost a connection. it works perfectly.. and has been for the past week. and then today i recieved in the mail another stereo headset that I accidently ordered on ebay (thinking my phone wasnt going to come with one). the same exact oem version that comes with the phone (model SYN9870A) but what the heck?? :D it works... i jiggled and wiggled and danced around and tried shaking the socket a little bit... and still the phone didnt drop the call. and then I put back the old one that came with the phone and as I thought it lost the call when i moved the headset around.. but the exact same one i got off ebay works fine?

So, sorry to make this story long but it apears that the original headset supplied with some mpx200's just dont fit in the socket as well as its supposed to. So anyone still having a problem i recommend you get another headset or take your chances with one of the OEM ones available on ebay. but please dont blame me if it doesnt work. and again sorry if this issue was already solved ^_^

Did this help anyone else?? or has this issue already been solved and im just a little lost? :?
