Well I just bought my self an Galaxy SIII and I'm loving it but I'm having a little problem with the headphone jack.
I plug my phone everyday to my car stereo for music and there comes like this pop and cracking sound while I'm playing. Doesn't matter if the stereo is at high or low volume.
First I thought it was my audio equipment in my car but then I gave it a go in another car stereo with an different lead but the noise is still there so it is the phone.
Is someone else experiencing this problem or is this a faulty unit?
I tried searching for same topic here but couldn't find anything about this.

Hi all,
to my great frustration, I've discovered that my SGS2 line-out / headphones jack seems to have a slack joint, i.e. if you turn a connected plug around its long axis, a crackling sound is heared in the speakers and at some angular positions the stereo signal will be reduced to mono (i.e. one speaker gos silent). With one device (mobile outdoor speaker) I even had no sound at all at when inserting the plug with the wrong "orientation".
Did anybody experience the same problem or am I just out of luck here?
I am wondering whether sending back the device to the retailer (Amazon) or directly to Samsung (I'm situated in Germany) will yield the faster round-trip time, any experiences here?
Thanks!
PS: I know this may be a stupid question but can somebody PLEASE tell me how to search for multiple keywords with AND logic in this forum? Tried "+word +word" and "word AND word" (without the quotes) but nothing seems to work.
Are you using the headphones that came with it? My better half went through 4 sets of the stock samsung headphones with her original Galaxy S and all produced the same issue of losing one channel after a matter of days/weeks. having the jack inserted to about 2/3rds is a workaround but not ideal as you still lose some frequencies and it's insecure... They're just a bit pony.
No, I used different kind of headphones, including Sennheiser in-ear headphones and a standard male-male audio jack connected to some bigger hifi system. With some jacks I did not encounter the problem, but most of them lost some part of the signal with some orientations: I persume that the manufacturing tolerance of the jacks also plays a role...
Anyway, it's definitely not a problem of the jacks but of the device since I tried it with the SGS2 of a friend yesterday and it worked with the same jack that made problems with my device.
I will proceed sending my phone to Samsung for repair, I hope that won't take to long *sad looking*, I am so used to it now, it's card to survive to weeks without it.
I had the same problem, all I had to do was insert headphones cable "HARDER" into the audio jack until I herd a "click" sound.
I was way to over protective of this phone when i first had it, and wanted to handle too much with care, forced the dam cable in, and "click", sounded like it snapped into place, the audio worked correctly without cracking noise or without the need to wiggle to cable get clearer sound.
Perhaps your friends SGS2 is already used to headphone being inserted, but yours not. Just add a little pressure until you hear clip into place.
If this doesnt help, then repair or return.
Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately I had the jack inserted to the very end, so this was not the problem... sent in for repair now, let's see what happens.
I have a fix for you i think!!!!!!!!
ok . when i got my s2 like 4 days ago (at&t usa version) i noticed that when i plugged into my aux cable in my car that it was low sound cracking more volume on the left side , very annoying . NOW FOR A SIMPLE FIX FOR SOME TO TRY! PLUG IT IN ALL THE WAY! i noticed when plugging it in i wasnt fully plugging it in . it should go all the way down FULLY! the sound is perfect once this is done . I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU !!!!!! good luck
This seems to be a problem that all galaxy phones are plagued with. Thought I would bring it to the attention of the people here to see if anyone can figure out some sort of solution.
Here's a description of the issue:
When the phone is mounted in the OEM car dock with a 3.5mm aux out to the cars stereo, no call audio can be heard. Call audio only comes through the phones speakers, making it very difficult to hear the conversation. No matter what settings you have, this can not be changed.
Here's a link to a thread with the same problem in the t-mobile GSII forums
Any help on this is greatly appreciated
Does your car radio have Blue Tooth?
That is how I got around the issue.
I dont use the car dock but do have the headphone cable attached to my head unit and the call audio comes through my speakers. Not sure if that helps....

Hey I own the i9300 and for a while my audio has been very quiet, to the point where I had to put my ear next to the speaker to hear anything, and the odd thing is only earphones with one cable instead of two joint ones coming from the jack will work. I've replaced my speaker earlier and it's no different. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Sorry for the poor explanation.
Hey friends, got this phone for a year now and I'm experiencing problems with my earphone jack. I have to twist the connector for the connection to be better. Any way to fix this? btw I do not have warranty anymore. Sony Singapore only offers 1 yr warranty.

Did you try other headphones.. Than this.. Coz. Sometimes the problem may be from headphones too
This happens to me as well, like when watching a movie.
I figured that dust particles can get stuck in the headphone jack, which makes the audio cut off.
Sometimes my phone wouldn't even detect the headphones and play audio through the speakers.
I clean the jack with a light stream of water everytime this happens, and it works fine.
So i got brand new S21 ten days ago, Exynos model, and i right away got type-c to 3.5mm adapter for my headphones (not original Samsung), i immediately noticed white noise when playing any media in any app.
Now i just bought AKG oem Samsung headphones with type-c connector thinking this will solve the problem and the noise is even worse, 10x stronger.. these headphones are unusable. EDIT: tried on A71, works fine.
Anyone else having the same problem?
What's strange is that when for example in YT video is complete silence noise disappears, but when there's sound noise appears.. noise is switching off and on in silent and loud scenes.
On my Xiaomi BT Earphones sound is perfect, so it has to be due to audio port on the phone.
I have only used true wireless Earbuds so I can't offer experience with the type C port. All I can say is that all of my Bluetooth audio is free of hiss.

You need an adapter with a built-in DAC like this one.

Thanks, will try to find one locally, lots of stuff on amazon is not available, or way too expensive for adapter..
