Walky talky effect

[Guest c0n3]

Does anyone know which ROM doesn't have the 'issue' that noise reduction makes you feel like the line is dead when using the phone function and not talking?

My original G5 ROM didn't have this strange behavior, but HH3 and HI1 are causing this to happen...

[Guest yts17]

Help please !

I don't understand what the problem is exactly.

Do you mean that both parties on both ends of the phone conversation cannot talk at the same time and hear each other simultaneously?

I don't have that, if this is what you mean, and I am on J1.

[Guest c0n3]

No, the problem is that the line is like it has died (silent) during a little pause in the conversation. Normally you'll still hear some noise in the background but seems like noise reduction kills the connection completely.

and that is a bad thing? since both parties are not talking, why should you care?

however I believe this is a network thing, some operators save some time slots if the sound on the line is below a certain threshold, I am not sure what is it in your case but I never noticed that TBH.

I agree that this should be optional. I find myself asking "you still there?" everytime there's a (comfortable) silence.

i dont think this is a problem with the handset or the rom u are using sounds more like a network issue

if so you will just have to live with it

nope it isn't the network. i have the same issue

[Guest le.bouch]

I think it is to do with the handset - mine does it too. I've recently come to Samsung from a series of Nokias so it's not network dependant. It's some kind of 'noise gate' - I vaguely remember reading about this feature - it's got three initial letters, I think!

Basically when the noise drops below a certain volume (i.e. when you or the other person stop talking!) the gate cuts in and silences everything else (i.e. the hiss). So, the hiss is still there but it's masked when someone's talking and it's cut when someone isn't.

Hope that makes sense.

hope someone can shed some light into this as my wife and I got each of us this phone and bacause of this noise gate thingy.. we end up squabbling about not listening to our conversations..

REALLY UNCOOL....

Anyone knows if this will be fixed in a future firmware update, of if there are firmware version not having this bug?

[Guest bpivk]

I think that this is a feature of Omnia and that it won't be fixed in future updates.

P.S.: I love it because I really hate the background noise. Now i get some comfortable silence. )

[Guest nheeka]

anybody found an explanation or solution for this??

Yeh I noticed the same I never liked this noise with these older phones, it was the first thing I noticed when I got my Omnia and liked it straight away... it's definately a feature and not a problem B) Noise on a line is 'old', why would you need to hear this old crappy noise on the line while you can almost hear perfect quality sound from it cause you are used to it. It's just like telling you miss the dust/cracking sound from those old records while you play a CD.

well, maybe im oldfashioned but I can't get used to it.. especially as it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes I can hear background noises and sometimes it gets so quiet i have to make sure i am still connected... B)

so I guess there won't be any fix for that...

hahaha

personally i never noticed it, but i think its cool

[Guest leighaus]

ive noticed it once, but then got used to the idea that theres noise cancellation.. cool feature i reckon.. B)

[Guest nerdfactormax]

It is most definately a problem for me on a number of levels.

1) the 'noise gate' feature on the wm9713 codec appears to also have a 'ramp up after noise' feature which makes the first syllable of a phrase very quiet. If the person on the other end is only saying "uh-huh...... yeah........ um...." most of this is lost. Not to mention the annoyance of no longer hearing a subtle sigh from the other end.

2) this ramp function makes patchy coverage even more patchy. We have pretty sketchy reception where I work, and now the small parts that get through are constantly ramping up and down in volume.

3) I'm often calling from or to, noisy environments. How the noise 'detection' works is unpredictable at best.

4) subconciously, most people feel like they've been disconnected when there's complete silence

I will certainly try to investigate a hack as its a major downer on a majorly good (and free for me) phone.

[Guest travelbug]

what are you guys talking about.

the noise reduction feature is kickass! i hate listening to background clutter

there should be an option however to turn it off for those who dont want/need it.

cheers

[Guest JeFK]

First of all...why are you quiet if you have an open call conversation?

That what you think is wrong are operator settings. They think "why would we transmit

the traffic if boath sites are silent?". So they stop sending information form site to another.

It's like IP telephony.

let us know, if you do find something,

please B)

[Guest c0n3]

Is there any news about disabling this noise cancellation function on the omnia? (i.e. maybe registry hack?!)

Still very annoying to loose half of my conversation when using the phone in a silent environment :)
