V60s Sound Issue

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Just got a VZW V60s . Speakerphone is excellent. Have an issue when
using the phone normally (speakerphone off): Incoming sound quality
is great but there is a slight background hiss which stops when the
person stops talking. Also, if I talk while the other person is
talking, I hear slight sound "blips" or slight static noise, almost
like a walkie talkie or a 1/2 duplex speakerphone (perfect sound when
only 1 person speaks at a time). This replaced a 7868w. Anyone have
a similar issue? Thanks.

Thanks for the info ... you saved me from trying another V60s
(thinking mine was defective). Never used a cell phone that sounded
like a speakerphone. Looked at the SCH-A650 - tri-mode but didn't
like the shorter flip ... so went back to the Startac 7868w ... will
have to look at the new Motos when they arrive.

I had the problem both before and after I upgraded the firmware. Ditto
with the "no ringer" issue that eventually caused me to change to the
Samsung.

Nope... never had a problem with the v60i. (If I had, I wouldn't have
even considered the v60s as a replacement.)

I had good reception, good voice quality with the v60i. (Battery life
wasn't great, but it was much better than the v60s.)

I love the SAMSUNG, but I *do* miss the Motorolas...
