Does anyone get any weird, high pitched sounds sometimes when talking to someone on the phone with their VX6000? I do a lot and it's quite annoying. Gotta love Verizon sometimes..

Tony E! · 09-01-2003, 3:05 PM

i've read alot of complaints about that, even though i have never heard them on any of the 6000's i've used, and i've gone through 4 of them.

njsvrzncdma · 09-02-2003, 4:16 PM

i dont hear anything exept clear calls unless theres no signal. i love my phone.

rappo · 09-02-2003, 4:24 PM

I hear it and it's iritating sometimes. It sounds like aliens are listening (or the FBI!)

njsvrzncdma · 09-02-2003, 4:26 PM

FBI uh oh i diddnt do it ! j/k

CoreyTheGent · 09-02-2003, 6:13 PM

Why did you have to go through 4 of them, djtonye?

Alejandro · 09-02-2003, 6:52 PM

I have also had the problem with the chimes in the background. My girlfriend also has a LG 6000 and says she hears the same but it only seems to happen when I call other verizon users. Maybe it has something to do with mobile to mobile connections. I asked a verizon service person about it and they had no clue. I hope someone figures this out, its pretty annoying.

pfunk · 09-02-2003, 8:22 PM

Nothing but crystal clear for me too. Maybe it could be your location? Not sure.

that's about how many times i've dropped them, don't want my 6000 with scratches on it, no señor!

I went crazy the first few days that I had my VX6000 because of those high-pitched noises. I posted on here and on HoFo about the problem and someone posted a suggestion:

Keep your earpiece volume at medium or higher. Turns out that the noises only happen at low and medium-low volumes. Is it annoying to keep your phone that loud? You bet - medium volume on this sucker is quite loud for my ears. Is medium volume as annoying as those horrible noises? Helllllllll no!

Try it out, I think you'll be much happier with the VX6000 once those noises disappear.

This problem has also been reported on other Forums FWIW has anyone tried forcing their phones to P_rev04 and seeing if the problem goes away. This is a trick we do in rural and poor reception areas and it will in many case improve RF. The phone will also park itself on a lesser used channel in some cases, this tweak iliminates x1 and you hang out with the older CDMA phones. I believe what is happening with the noises is that network data signals are not being rejected by the phone and are getting in on the audio. Give it a try and let me know. Menu, 000000, Force Mode, P_rev04, ok for Verizon customers, Alltel phones have a different security code.

nyyankeegirl · 09-03-2003, 11:34 PM

The VX6000 is way loud. My old Nokia 5185 I could never get it high enough.. now I can never get it low enough.... err. The noises are really not that bad- but they are still irritating enough to post it here [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

YelloMunky · 09-04-2003, 6:42 AM

On my old Motorola phones, I could hear myself in my earpiece when I talked (basically, what I spoke into the receiver would also come out of the earpiece) This was handy because I could hear what the other side was hearing, just like on a landline phone. I don't get this on my vx6000. Is this normal? Anyone else have this problem?

Punia10 · 10-03-2003, 4:34 PM

Does this only happen during a conncted call? Does it sound like a loud squelch or feedback at a concert. I used to get a loud squelch when I owned my motorola but exchanced it and it never happened again. Sometimes I hear a slight pitch noise when searching thru screens, but I am not connected on a call.

that tone that you hear when going through your screens is the tone from your keypad, you can turn that off if you want to.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Interesting, as Sprint's new Samsung (A620/VGA1000) also suffers from this problem...but if you use any volume setting above 5 the noises go away. The high pitched noises ar eonly heard at low volume settings.

Tony E! · 10-03-2003, 8:41 PM

i've gone through five of this babies, and have not heard any of this noises on any of them yet.

Punia10 · 10-04-2003, 9:13 AM

Are these noises only when the phone is connected on a call though?
Thanks
