calls received from x10 have loud hissing and echo

---

i recently got my gf an x10 for her birthday, whenever she makes a call the person receiving the call hears loud hissing noises like someone is blowing into the mic, and a bit of an echo of there own voice. I searched around the forums but noone else seems to be experiencing this so assumed it was a faulty phone and i went and got it replaced.

However the problem still persists on the new handset. After much messing with the phone i deduced its the contact between hand and handset thats causing the hissing.

The simplest way to reproduce the annoying noises is to just rub your finger lightly up and down the back of the X10 (sounds wierd i know), remember theres no noticable sound impact on the X10, just any phone receiving a call from one will hear the sound.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this or knows of a way to prevent it, currently half the conversations i have with her are inaudiable because when ever shes moving around (ie walking down the street) all i hear are loud hissing noises. (this is not wind blowing into the mic, iv done many tests)

thx for reading. Mike.

i don't have any noises or echos.

but now as you mention, the decoupling of the mic is far from optimal.
when touching the back of the (white) X10, you can hear noises on the other side of line. (no other phone is that sensitive.)

can anyone confirm, that this is better with the rubberized back, black edition ?

LMAO. Girlfriends are using the phone and boyfriends are getting worried.

Anyone know of a way to turn the sensitivity of the mic down, she loves the phone, so doesn't want a different one.

also she as the black rubberized edition, so im guessing it doesn't make a difference

me 2 i have the black one help guys

i do not have the hissing sound but echoes...as if the other party is using speaker phone which she is not... and the sentence is cut off here n there..help!!! losing heart on my 20 days old X10...

i have a similar problem, but i the contact i'm talking to wont hear an echo if i'm using the included headset. i also have the white x10.

I found the same problem today, calling two different people. I found the echo and hiss is very noticeable when I put the call volume up to max, or very high. As soon as I reduce the call volume it goes.

The reason I used to have the call volume very high is I could not hear the other callers, but realised I have to (and can - without pressing any buttons!) press the phone quite close to my ear, this way the volume is good enough at half the level and the callers then do not hear teh hiss or echo.

Hope this made sense and helps?
