MPX220 speaker distortion issues

[Guest benjytrainer]

Hi all,

Just a quick canvas of opinion about whether any of you have noticed a degradation of the earpiece (inside) speaker over the course of a month.

I bought a black mpx220 just under a month ago and in the course of that period, the internal speaker has started buzzing as people talk - this is bad enough now that it actually distorts what people are saying.

I'm returning the unit for a replacement, and am getting another, but I was wondering whether it's going to do the same again .......

.... I've seen another MPX220 do this too, so not hugely positive about what your comments might be :)

cheers

I've just sent mine back because of the very same fault. Hopefully the new one will work properly. I also had people telling me I sounded really really echoey as well!! Im beginning to think that im starting to fight a loosing battle with the MPX 220.

Mpx220's speaker is too weak.. i mean it is easily messed up and gives lesser sound :/

my first one was a silver v1.3 with an orange dot from best buy. it was suppose to be one of the "good ones" if it had all that. but after a month my speaker stared to crackle and i could barely hear anyone. then it would lock up when i put the usb cable in it.

so i returned it and got a silver v0.342 (i think) and have had it ever since with no problems. now updated to the latest (US) firmware.

but i've heard of people returning them 7 times with the same result. its a quality control issue. nothing more. complete luck of the draw. so place your bets and spin the wheel. thats all you can do.

but i will say that if you manage to get a "good one" its a great phone. good luck.

p.s. make sure you take the plastic off of the ear piece. :) that drove me nuts for the first few hours i had mine.
