E71 - Loud beep when receiving/ending calls

2 replies · 4,216 views · Started 11 September 2008

I just got my awesome E71 and about a day ago got the Internet data plan from T-Mobile (bye bye cheap and slow T-Zones). With the data plan, I have noticed a very annoying thing that happens every time I answer my phone.

It seems that if there is a data connection at the time of the call, it gets interrupted and the phone deems it necessary to let me know in the form of a loud shriek right at the moment I pick the line up. The same tone is emitted once I hang the phone up and the data connection re-establishes.

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

I don't think the beep is related to the data connection is it?
Mine does it too (I have active data connections too), and always catches me out.

There are call recorders which turn off a beep, but I think that's a regular (eg every 1 min) beep whilst the call is being recorded.

I'm interested in an answer to this too
