Is this a symptom of a pirated Garmin XT? How do u know bro?

@ tabletennis

lineout is actually used to play the tube with external speakers... I don't think there is a bad effect except maybe ur ear's health because the earphones are only meant to take a certain level of sound you know?

Found this stats about the tube from gsmarena

Stand-by Up to 406 h (2G) / 408 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 8 h 45 min (2G) / 5 h (3G)
Music play Up to 35 h


Looks like standby time for 3G is higher than 2G but talk time is less by almost 4 hours difference.. thats a lot!

And 35 hours of non-stop music... sure anot?

plaza berjaya is the one near the 7 eleven is right? Opposite times square?

my loudspeaker mic got problem.. when I call using normal mode its fine but in loudspeaker mode it goes haywire and voice gets choppy

@ jimmyykm and icechiller555

THanks for your replies.. I wanna ask they fix on the spot or they need to keep more than 1 day?

thx mate tmrw i go try there early in the morning

@ Apis_LuaLua

thanks for the recomendation bro! even more ii wanna go there.. hope they can solve it

Actually there is a cheaper alternative Garmin XT USD$99.90 that doesn't come with the City Navigator street maps. Then they can just use MFM or MSM. Save money that way.

Well this morning went to the NCC at Plaza Berjaya. I went downstairs and there was no customer but the lady at the counter (who looked like a new staff) told me need to wait 1 to 2 days before I can get back my tube because they need to diagnose it.

I said screw it. I went upstairs to the 13th floor to their HQ and tried there. The lady at the counter there immediately took my phone to the technician and asked what was the problem. Immediately she came back and told me this is not really a problem but all the handset is like that for Nokia no matter what model. Lucky I went up straight if not I would have waited 1~2 days for nothing.

Oh well at least my tube will still be a virgin... no operation on it yet

When using normal handset, the phone works fine. WHen turn to loudspeaker, my friend will tell me my voice like choppy then cut cut.. then got buzzing sound.

The lady told me, the mic for both handset and loudspeaker is the same but they work differently under the 2 modes. When u use loudspeaker, the mic has to know when to silent the mic when ur friend is talking (cos the speaker is on loud) and turn it on again when you are talking. So sometimes the mic will screw up.

You guys can test with your tubes and see if it is the same.. if not then maybe I am just one of the many unlucky ones. Cos she said many Nokia 5800 users already complained about this and actually prior to this model the same issue already surface.

did u remember to turn off the U-turn avoidance? You have to take that precaution with MFM v1.5

what price did u manage to secure it for?

2 hours.

I use a timer for my charger so it auto off after 2 hours. But usually once I hear the beep (fully charge) I will off it.

The lady said can't do anything. She said that the technician told her that all the units behave like this and even if you replace the mic also same thing. The symptom is that when you talk normally it is fine but only in loudspeaker it gets choppy cos the mic is the same mic. If lets say even using normal handset method also got problem then only the mic spoil.

Walk over to lowyat can get at RM1280. Red slightly more expensive.
