W810i mp3 and radio hiss

popp · 21-10-2007, 14:21

just got a Sony Ericsson W810i. when i use the mp3 player or radio on a low volume there is an annoying hiss, when the volume is turned up you dont notice it. is this common with this phone or could there be a problem. i have tried different headphones and adjusted the equillizer but its still hissing. very annoying late at night listening in bed on low volume. regards popp

No hiss on my K810i or the K800i i had before that. Ask the sony ericsson customer support team and if it is a specific problem with yours, use the warranty if you have one.

i notice it when volume is very low, its a constant hiss, its not noticable at higher volume.

Just update the firmware. Search google for Sony Ericsson Update Service.

Radio hissing depends on your firmware version.

you seem able to update firmware from phone settings , and it comes back as latest firmware already installed. i`v just done a google on this problem and it seems it does happen on some of these w810i. going by what i read there wont be any more updates. this is one site i looked at http://www.contralogic.com/w810i/ thanks chaps
