Guest timpharrison Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 If you dial any number (150 will do) and turn up to a reasonable volume, you will hear bad distortion. The sound is very fuzzy. The problem with the speaker appears to only occur with calls; if I play an MP3 loud, the quality is fine (in fact very good). Also the problem occurs when using the handset speaker, or the handsfree set. Putting this together makes me think that the problem is something other than a physical problem with the speaker.. it must be something to do with the way the sound is processed on a voice call. So: 1) Could a software fix sometime in the future fix this? 2) What are Orange likely to do? For those of you reading this, that don't own the handset, I have to explain that the buzzing/distortion is very very marked. There's no way Orange can expect several thousand users to accept it. FINALLY, if you have an E200 and are NOT experiencing this fault, let me know - then I know its worth getting mine replaced!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nCoder Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Is it possible that this problem is being caused by low level feedback from the speaker to the mic? It would explain why it happens only on voice calls. I haven't got an E200 handy at the moment but has anyone tried muting the mic on a call to 150 and see whether that improves the quality?
