Long story shorthone dropped in water, immediately removed, rice dried and now turns on, charges and works fine.
HOWEVER there is a bad stutter sound of media and it clips in and out making music unbearable. This happens with the speakers and with the headphones so I can't just buy a replacement speaker. This effect only happens with music and videos, not ringtones. Is this Motherboard damage? So far I've found nothing that improves it.
So Youtube and internet youtube both sound flawless, it's just music applications that skip and clip songs...how?
Well turns out it was partly the usb connector. Even though it charges when I transferred songs over, they became corrupted and thus wouldn't play correctly. Using Airdroid fixed this so...yeah. If anyone is curious if that can happen, there's your answer. At least music works now!

Hi Guys, got a bit of a problem!
I've connected my GS wifi 4 to my car stereo vis 3.5mm jack. The music will play fine through the stereo, then suddenly the music disappears. It is still playing on the player but no sound is played. i've tried various media players (stock, power amp, mixzing, player pro)same thing on all of them. tried flight mode. Same thing. Its totally random, music can last 20mins or 20 seconds before it goes off. Totally on uk stock at the mo. Anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem??
Thanks, Keith....
Make sure the plug is pushed all the way into the jack. I have a rubber case on mine and had to cut the rubber on the plug a little to get it to seat all the way (it barely seats without the case!)
Unfortunately it's nothing that simple. I have a rubber case on my SGS II so I am aware of that problem. Thanks for replying though...

Since I've been on smart phones, I've moved all my music to those and shunned my now broken iPod away.
I've had issues with the original Droid's headphone jack, but what Droid owner didn't? I was able to deal with annoying static though, and simply forcing it closer to the contacts by sliding a piece of plastic in there helped a lot.
When I got my RAZR Maxx it was so much better. Once I found out how to get my bass back, I was in love. I was a bit worried about having a similar issue as with my Droid though as I listen to music with the phone in my pocket with a lot of movement. I'm usually riding bike after all.
I haven't had much of an issue for a while now, but recently things have turned south.
While I was on GB, using Skullcandy Ink'd ear buds, the slightest little movement of the plug could stop my music's playback, no matter what app I was using, (tested in Winamp, Pandora, My Music, and Power Amp) and eventually it would start launching the Voice Commands app. Other times, I could move the plug as much as I wanted and it wouldn't do a damn thing but play my music, which is exactly what I wanted.
I recently upgraded to ICS leaks and froze the Voice Commands app with Titanium and succeeded only in having the music stop as if I had unplugged it.
Once my gf killed my ear buds, I upgraded to Skullcandy Heavy Medals which seemed to fix the issue out right.
Once again though, I am having the same issue as before. I can get set on my bike, ride for a while listening to music fine as can be. Once I stop for any reason, if I move my leg at all, there's a good chance the music will stop as if I had removed the plug...
I know the plug is not damaged, and I've not done anything major to the jack to damage it.
Is there anything I can to do help prevent this? Any ideal ways of removing any lint that might be in there?
I don't really have time to take off my glove, fish my phone out, and press play again at 30 MPH in traffic...
This RAZR is the only phone I've ever had problem with lint and dirt getting into the headphone jack. I used air from a compressor, and a small spring, and just twisted it around until I got it all out.
Not exactly responsive to your query (about the headphone jack), but have you considered bluetooth stereo earbuds like these? You need to follow that link to Amazon and see all the pictures before you reject this flat out. You can wear these inside your bike helmet, while the bulk of the device will ride around your neck, below your helmet. My best friend has them and loves them. They have ridiculously long battery run time. The sound quality is good (acc. to my friend). If you were connecting by B/T, there would be nothing to plug into the headphone jack.
Not the solution you were looking for, but might solve your problem.
Hello, as my title states, my S3 (Verizon) works wonderfully. The only issue I am having concerns playing music. It doesn't matter if the song is stored on the phone or on an external microSD card. It doesn't matter which media player I use (I prefer Poweramp). Whenever it is plugged into a charger (wall or car) and I move or touch the phone physically, the music cuts out for a brief second. The player icon in the notfication bar also fades away, then comes back quickly. It's almost like I pause and unpause the music quickly.
I have tried rebooting the phone and blowing the microUSB port with compressed air, but that doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
It plays a sound if you're connecting to a charger or usb doesn't it? From my experience, any media (music, radio, in-game sound) briefly mutes then resumes playing when using connector. Don't know how it'd work if you set it up so it doesn't play the sound

Sounds like a faulty charger. It would explain why it cuts off when you move your phone.

It only does it when it is already connected, not when I am in the act of connecting it.
I do suspect that it is something with the charger, however it does it with multiple chargers....Although, come to think of it, I buy cheap ones from Amazon, haha. I bet that is the problem. I wonder why that is. Maybe the charger is making my phone briefly think it is in dock mode.
Anyway, thanks for the replies!
Hey guys
So I was working in someone's yard today. I put my phone into my pocket. Later when I took it out to connect my headphones to listen to music, the sound was garbled and distant like the jack was loose, even though it was fully plugged in. I had just listen to music 10 minutes before and did nothing special in the time frame really. Thanks for any advice.
What I'm running:
NOS Sense 5
Noozoxide (sp?)
Beats Audio
I just got an htc one and I use my headphones while riding my motorcycle to work. I've only used it twice and both times my music skips around erratically. I'm using google play with music saved on my device. I came from a galaxy s3 that didn't have this problem. Does anybody have any experience with this and a solution? The weird thing is, I can't recreate this when sitting on my couch.
Edit: using stock headphones. I tried using my old s3 headphones and they wouldn't work at all.

Sometime when you slide your headphones into the jack you can inadvertently scratch the protective paint inside the jack. This metal on metal connection causes your phone to react erratically. Especially with the vibration of your motorcycle. There's a couple ways to remedy this. One is to place a small piece of electrical tape to cover up the exposed metal inside your phone jack. I don't really like this method becaue it could dislodge and fall into the headphone jack and prubably cause more issues. I'd suggest you go to the play store and download a program called "WizDroid (No Headset Control!)." It will block all signals from your headset so that your phone will act normally again. Only downside is hat you can't your headset controls to pause/skip tracks or answer calls.

thank you for you reply and i will try that. i have an update. only happens when im on my motorcycle. i can sit on the couch and move the jack around in the hole (phrasing) and there is no skipping or any problems. i can get on my bike and go the mile on the street to the freeway with no problems. but once i get up to speed (around 50mph) it starts to skip around. i am going to try using the headphones in a car to see if it happens when i get up to speed then. if so it might be a location thing. but i really doubt that.
update: rode to work today with an old set of skullcandys that do not have a mic and only has one side working and i had no problem. i find this to be really weird, but, what ever. i can get a new pair of no mic headphones. i never use the headphones to talk anyway.
