Anyone good with phones? Help a brotha out.

[JimRaynor]

Once upon a time I washed a pair of my pants, with my cellphone in one of the pockets.

The cell phone is a Sprint PCS Samsung VGA-1000.

Amazingly, the phone after that still worked.

However, nowadays, while making calls, the other party has trouble hearing me.

I called myself on another phone and sure enough I can hear from the cell phone but it is very faint.

The phone has a voice memo function, which i tested for troubleshooting purposes, and to my surprise, I can hear just fine. Clear as day.

So, the microphone is apparently working, but for some reason during a call it doesn't work, any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

don't worry about it, just go into a sprint center and let them see if they can fix it. do not tell them about washing it in your pants, no matter what. they will most likely get you a new phone w/out any trouble

He could do that, but then he'd be a dick like you.

Holy geez, you washed the phone and it still worked?! Maybe when my phone fell into that toilet that time, i should have picked it out.

be aware that they will attempt a software update before replacing, it can erase all of your data during this process, happened to my roommate.

after the crap sprint put me through w/ that phone, i feel no problem with them replacing a phone for me.

I love the a-holes who like to sound holyer then God. I guarantee that if there phone was messed up they would try to get it fixed for free. Instead, they will give you crap. F you, you religious F.

Hey, this may actually not be related to washing it....

My good friend told me online tonight that his VGA-1000 is VERY faint as well... People always complain they can't hear him........

my boy got thrown into a pool with his phone on in his pants...the next day he put it in the oven for a little while, and it works. one of the coolest stories i have.
