finally got an sx66!!....man it is a great little device...!!
but.....
...i believe i may have recieved my sx66 with a blown speaker(bought it on ebay ).....and am trying to figure it out....
i will describe it best as i can....
hmmm.... if i listen to music(volume half way or higher)on the sx66 its speaker will distort and sound like a blown speaker....and still won't play at the volume of the sx56..
the bummer is i do not have any devices in a store to test this theory(they are all backordered)....and if i have to take it into siemens for repair that will cost $$$.....so i want to be sure ..... ...i don't mind, i just want to get this sweet little device working correctly....also after speaking to Siemens tech support, they told me that the repair location is in houston. I live in houston, so that is cool.
phone calls sound ok....but the volume is very low....so that would work ok even with a blown speaker.....,yes?
..... any input you may have will be helpful......
also if i attempt to use the speakerphone past half way on its volume it distorts VERY badly....you almost cant understand the other person.
also...there is a .wav of a dog barking in /My Documents...if i play that at half volume or louder it distorts it.....more crackling than dog barking......
all of this was duplicated on my sx56 to test......and all work just fine.....
for poops and giggles i attempted a hard reset....no dice....
headphones sound nice....so i believe it is with the speaker....i have read several posts about bluetooth issues and such, but nothing pertaining to the speaker.....i understand that the speaker is not going to sound like a 1000 watt sound system, but it should work better than it does...ya know?
i am hoping that they would not put such a lousy speaker in there....even the default cingular ringtone is awful because of the distortion....i mean DISTORTED BAD!!....if there is a bad speaker does anybody know of a replacment?.....or fix?....other than turning it down....if i turn it down to where it does not distort, then you ca barely hear it....it is like half the volume of the sx56 with VERY low quality sound....
thanks thanks and thanks thanks again for your help to a fellow 66er....ROCK!!! and yes....this is a sweet sweet device.....after using a sx56 for 2.5 years....yep...i love this addition to the family.....just this damn speaker thing is making me bug....
