I doubt it's a wireless upgrade, but i really really hope it won't explode.
That would be bad.. How would you explain that to your carrier or your phone
insurance people. wow!

If he's talking on it at the time of explosion, he won't have to explain
anything. ;-)

If the noise is coming from the phone itself, and not a radio or amp
nearby, then your sound settings might be wierd. I don't know how that
would happen, but you could try resetting the audio gain settings to their
default values:
Type 2945#*# to get to the Test Menu. Select Baseband (2), Audio Gain
(8)and Default Value (5). While you're at it, could you go to "L1400
Vers" and post what it says?

Thanks for this information - I never knew about the "test menu". Ok, I did
as instructed and reset the default value. Also, I made a mistake, I have
an LG1200 not 1400. The Vers says:
**Cingular**
L1200P40
V0.8.5
1-310-170
Apr 22 2004

What info can you glean from this, and what does it mean?

Thanks for the help!
Michelle

Naa, it's working fine, just the weird intermittent noise, which hasn't
happened yet again. I'd probably waste a lot of time on the phone over a
fluke problem that they couldn't help me with anyway.

Thanks again for your help,
Michelle
