Nokia N8, echo problem

Hi, 
I bought an N8 at the start of September and it was great, I loved it until a week last Friday where people I called started complaining they could hear a robotic kind of echo talking back at them and it was happening on 100% of calls. I took my phone back to the shop and I'm now on my 5th Nokia N8 in a week and the problem is still there and won't go away. 
The problem is I love the phone and don't really want to be parted from it. Is there anyway to get rid of the noise or stop it from happening? Apart from the sound people hear when I call them the phone is great! 
Any help would be great, thank you. 

This problem sometimes occurs if you hold the phone slightly away from your ear, rather than against your ear, maybe because the sound reflects.
I imagine in your case though, this will not be the solution if you have been using it without problems since September.
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82
Current: Nokia N8 (Anna - I have no intention of going to Belle) - and delighted with it!

  • E50 Echo Problem & No Help From Nokia Turkey

    Hi,
    I'm using Nokia E50 for two months. Whenever I have a call (in or out) am receiving the same complaint from the other side of the line : The guy who is talking with me always hearing his/her own voice during the call. Echo issue.
    I've called the Nokia Turkey Call Center they told me that they've never been advised a case for the ECHO problem !!! Apparently they don't even hear the Google since there is hundreds of similar case !!!
    I took the phone to the official Nokia Repair Shop they've just checked the software and the patches and all of them were fully updated. Unfortunately they don' have any idea what's going on.
    Appreciate if anyone help me out about the issue, otherwise I'm going to give back to phone since it's still within legal warranty period.
    Regards

    We have seen the same problem with 2 E50s my company has just bought. I thought it was the new BT car kit that people were complaining about until I called my colleague with the new phone for the first time and we got DOUBLE ECHO!!!
    The latest firmware does not seem to fix this problem as of Jan 07. Have tried adjusting the volume down to no avail, so no other suggestions, but rest assured you are not alone.

  • Nokia Asha 200 echo problem

    Hi!
    I bought the brand new Asha 200 Nokia (Graphite) and so far im happy with the phone. Nontheless, during calls there is a really anoying echo. I have gone back to the store and replaced the first phone only to find that the problem remains the same.
    Whats is the position of Nokia about this? I would like to keep the phone but this echo during calls is unacceptable. 
    Should request my cash back or should I go to a Nokia Care point?
    Cheers

    Hello....
    I have also recently bought "nokia asha 200" but from the very first day of my use, I am also experiencing the same echo problem. All those echoing sounds is irritating me so much...
    You can't even use your cell phone for the basic purpose of making call.
    Almost all asha handset has this problem,, they are not going to cash back your money,, just be careful the next time you are going to buy nokia products.
     I don't think Nokia has any words to say for such defective products and the malfunction of its newly launched asha handset  which clearly indicates its manufacturing standards and thereby cheating consumers . I have never expected such a fraud from such a branded company.
    I am sure, from now onwards, nokia will loose its middle age segment profit for making such frauds/defective model. 

  • Nokia 6300 update problem?

    thanks alot

    my phone nokia 6300 0546930, Tried to update the software but it says I have the latest version 4.71. However I understand there is a version 5.0 that sorts out the echo problem when fitted to a hands free kit. How do I get this latest version?

  • Iphone car kit echo problem

    I have a Nokia CK-7W car kit installed in my car, has always worked seamlessly with a variety of cellphones ( nokia, sony etc ) - have just got the 8gb iphone in the UK and in the car it sounds great. However, whoever I'm calling complains of a bad echo on their end of the conversation. Turning the volume down in car helps subdue this but doesn't solve it....
    Any ideas appreciated !

    I think you could be on the right track Daan.
    The problems I experienced with the CK-7W and Nokia 6300 (see earlier post above) seem to have been resolved with a Nokia software update for the 6300 (v 5.5), I read somewhere that the Nokia software update fixed a problem with the 6300 handset microphone staying active when connected to the CK-7W. All the echo problems seem to have stopped and callers agree the call quality is now improved.
    I vaguely remember reading on these forums of someone reporting that adjusting the volume on the iPhone itself helped with echo problems.
    Alternatively, have you tried turning down the speaker volume with the CK-7W control button when a call is active, this also may help.
    I hope this is sorted for you soon, I know how frustrating these issues can be!!!

  • Echo problem

    IP phone user hears an echo of his voice on a call to a PSTN phone. It looks like an issue with the voice gateway. Checked the cisco document
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk698/technologies_tech_note09186a0080149a1f.shtml
    Set the echo canceller converge to the highest value (64ms). But the users are still experiencing echo problems.
    Attached pls find the output of "show voice active".
    IOS 12.4.6T on Cisco 2811
    Appreciate any input.

    There is a known bug with that version of IOS and the DSPs on it...bug CSCsd54344
    DSP: Persistent echo heard on c5510 DSPs with 4.4.13 DSPware or higher
    http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCsd54344
    use show voice dsp group all to see if it is using DSP version 4.4.708. If it is you either need to go up to 12.4.9T (first fixed version) or downgrade the DSP (easiest option) to version 4.4.706.
    You can call TAC about getting that file if needed.

  • Bluetooth in car has serious echo problems.

    I see from the number of posts on a number of threads that the new 3G iPhone has problems with many cars from different manufacturers. My car is no exception.
    What do you think? Is this a problem that requires a firmware update of the phone, or has Apple chosen hardware in the phone that is not compatible with all these cars.
    I am deciding whether or not to return the phone. I use my phone in the car every day I drive, and the echo problem is so severe that I cannot use the phone. If Apple addresses the issue I will be patient and wait for a fix, but if they do not address the issue, the phone will be returned prior to the 14 day policy expiration.
    Paul

    Yes, it is always on. As I said, with my BB, I would just set my BB to discover.
    I understand, is the iPhones Bluetooth on?
    I never tried to input while the care is moving.
    Yes, but can the PASSENGER input an address while the vehicle is moving?
    I ask because a man returned a Lexus do to this issue.

  • Fixing Echo Problem

    Hi,
    Is the new update supposed to fix the echo problem when using the headset?
    Thanks, Kara

    What new update? I am also experiencing a horrible echo problem that makes it impossible to talk on phone.
    After exchanging the 1st phone it's continued to occur on this new phone. But i don't use a headset so not sure if it's same problem. Am hoping they come up with something to fix, or at least admit, there's a problem.

  • Does anyone have a solution to fixing the Facetime echo problem?

    I get this echo that occurs only on my end. It's louder than my friends who I video chat with. They use an older model of the MacBook Pro, but they do not have this echo problem. Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I have the same problem.  If I use an iPad for facetime, it works fine. If I use skype or voip, it works fine. If I use facetime, the other party hears an echo. To fix it 'i have to turn the audio down to inaudible levels. "use headphones" isn't a solution, when it works fine in Skype. 
    What probably happened is, previous macbooks have had the microphone and speakers sufficiently separate that they've never had to bother with echo cancellation.  Now they've screwed up with the positioning on the retina macbook pro and facetime testing never even occurred to them. I've seen plenty of posts about this issue, not a single apple response. Apple really needs to respect their customers more.

  • N70 echo problems

    Hi everyone!
    Have had an N70 for just over a week and am already on my second handset.
    When using my phone - the person I am calling complains of a bad echo of their own voice - but it sounds perfect at my end. This is not when on handsfree, but when I make a normal call.
    If i turn the phone off and then on again it seems to be ok for a little while, then the echos start again.
    Vodafone suggested in the first week that it was probably a mic fault and changed the handset for a brand new one. The brand new one was ok for a couple of days, and now it is echoing again.
    Anyone got any ideas why it is doing this?
    I do connect to a tomtom Go 500 via bluetooth and handsfree calling on that is fine - the echo is only evident when I'm not connected to the tomtom.
    Many thanks
    Vicky

    I've also had exactly the same problems - along with six N70s, 3 x 3G sims & a 2G sim replacements since 11th January. I've just had the latest software put on my phone & the echo problem started yet again 2 hours later. I have now tried (only yesterday) the phone with bluetooth turned off and so far it's lasted @ 26 hours without an echo.

  • Nokia 5800 screen problems when unlocking

    When I unlock my phone, I get horizontal and/or vertical lines - I can't use the phone during this time, because the display is so badly affected!
    After about 5-10 seconds, the home screen will show perfectly normal.  When I either lock the phone, or lock it manually, then unlock it a few minutes later the lines come back again!
    Is this a hardware or software fault? If it is a software fault, how can I resolve this annoying problem?
    5800 v20.0.012 -- 6500s v9.40 -- 6233 v5.43 -- 5140 v3.13

    I have exactly the same fault on my 5800 to the point where the phone is completely unusable.
    Used the "Contact Us" facility 5 days ago - still waiting for a reply/acknowledgment.
    I bought the phone in mid February so it was quite an early release model, V11 frimware, but the screen fault was there early on but only very occassionally. Had the phone updated to V20 but the problem was still there. However it got progressively worse until the phone became unusable. The screen can only be restored by powering off and on again but once the screen has gone into saver mode it cannot be restored via the unlock button, or any other means other than a power down.
    Sent the phone to the Nokia "Anovo" repair centre only to have it returned 10days later with exactly the same fault as I sent it in with. The return advice note stated that details of the repair would be found on the enclosed letter - there was no enclosed letter. The return form states that all phones sent in would be automatically updated to the latest firmware - mine wasn't, even though Nokia notified me 2 weeks previously to inform me that there was an update for my phone.
    Rang Nokia Care last week, (Thursday) to be told that someone would contact me by phone, (borrowed phone obviously, as I had stated my 5800 was unusable). Friday and I had not been contacted. Rang again Friday morning 10.30am only to be told someone would contact me. Left a contact phone number again. Friday afternoon - still no contact so rang again. This time I was informed that someone should have told me that I wouldn't be contacted until Monday as thet were all "Very Busy" - I wonder why. Today, Monday afternoon stil no one has been in contact so I suppose I am going to have to go through the whole routine again.
    I am very close to the point where I am going to give up and demand a refund for an item that is clearly "Not of Merchantable Quality" or "Fit for Purpose" which would be a shame as when it worked I was really pleased with it. I bought the phone outright so I have no contract redress so am completely in the hands of Nokia. I know that Nokia is a very large company and I am but a single customer but from all the forums I have lookes at since this saga started I am driven to believe that the 5800 is causing Nokia some serious problems.
    If I do finally get some acknowledge from Nokia I will inform this forum.

  • New Powerbook Audio Stutter / Looping / Echo problem

    I though people would like to hear the problem that some of the 15" and 17" powerbooks have been having.
    I tried recording the sound from iTunes using Audio Hijack, but when the weird audio issue happened and I played back the recording, you couldn't hear it in the recording (i.e. it played normally), so it seems to me that it's related to some basic audio issue (because Audio Hijack couldn't hear it when it was recording iTunes) rather than a specific application.
    I was able to record the sound using a cable from my powerbook to another computer (which then recorded the line-in using Audio Hijack).
    Here's a short quicktime capture of the sound:
    http://s89317810.onlinehome.us/AudioStuttering.mov
    Has anyone heard anything about a fix? It doesn't seem to be related to Airport use for me since I don't often use Airport at home.

    Hey guys (first post
    I own the PowerBook G4 high res model and I've noticed this 'echo' effect when listening to my iTunes. I remember creating another account for my sister and from what I've heard so far, her sound did not stutter.
    Although unrelated, my system sounds did not work after some time (emptying bin, copy paste sounds etc.) even though in System preferences the option for such sounds was checked.
    I've come from the Windows world and with the normallity of formatting that computer, I decided to format my Mac for other reasons aside (with the included discs) and to my suprise the stutter/echoing problem has seemed to dissapear on my primary account. It's been 3 days since the install and I've been listening to garageband files, midi, iTunes, internet streaming, DVD viewing all of which the sound did not stall/loop.
    In terms of a corrupted file, it seems plausable that this may be the case.
    Cheers
    Anthony
