Random popping sound when connected to car stereo - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

I've recently upgraded from my iphone to an s9+, and I've noticed that, when plugged in to my car stereo it makes really loud popping sounds if the screen is on. As soon as I lock the screen it's fine. Anyone else have an issue like this? Because otherwise this thing is better than my iphone was in almost every way.

[Q] Headphone Jack

Is it just me or is the headphone jack, somewhat tight and also sensitive to changes in position? I mean that it takes a bit more effort than usual in order to plug them in, and yet if you pull them out even slightly, the phone will show that they have been disconnected. Is this normal for HTC Amazes or is it just mine in particular?
Although it isn't an extremely terrible problem yet, I'm worried that the jack will loosen and my headphone plugs will be able to move more freely, which would cause it to disconnect often.
Is this normal and should I be concerned?
P.S. I also seem to have an issue with the camera, it occasionally gives me completely blank/black photos when the flash stalls, as in the LEDs stay on for a few seconds before it takes a picture, and then provides me with a black picture. Is anyone else noticed this as well? I'm using Mobilicity Stock ICS, unrooted and S-On.

I agree. When I got my amaze I was goign to return it thinking the headphone jack was broken. After an hour I realized I had to apply hulk strength to get it in properly.

Does it eventually loosen up after prolonged use?
No it doesnt losen up. I ended up buying Bluetooth earphones.

Ah, okay. That's good, because I use the headphone jack all the time. Does it also disconnect if you pull it out slightly?
It takes alot to of energy to pull out also.
If you pull out slightly only the left ear will work.

Yeah, I know it takes a lot of energy to pull it out, but it would be annoying if the jack loosens up and it comes out slightly to the point where it would normally still be connected on normal devices, which would make it disconnect on the Amaze.

I dont think there is anything that can losen it up lol.
It feels like something locks on to it.
With the force it takes to put in the jack and take it out. I was scared one day I would break it. So I bought a bluetooth headset.
Sucks that beats audio doesnt work over bluetooth.

What annoys me though, is that between fully connected and half connected, the the jack will show up as disconnected. It shows as connected when fully in and half way in (with part audio) which intrigues and worries me.
EDIT: Can anyone else verify that the phone shows that headphones are disconnected if they are plugged in between fully plugged in and plugged in halfway?
I have a similar problem. The headphone jack is so tight that if I plug it in my stereo at home or in the car, it will randomly make a pop sound and stop playing music if I so much as touch it. Very irritating. It doesn't do that with headphones, but the jack is so small that I have to cram my headphones in haha. Then again, we should be thankful it's tight and not loose and awful like my old SGSII...

I hate the headphone jack, it's always halfway unplugging if it's barely jostled or touched. It's the one thing I can't stand about this phone design...for awhile I wanted to return it, but T-Mobile doesn't have a phone I'd rather have, haha.

Yeah, lol. At least the good thing about the headphone jack is that the jack is really tight so it keeps the headphones in. I'm just hoping that the jack doesn't loosen up over time.

lol hulk strength, nice. made me laugh. You're right though, anyone having suspected probs with the stereo jack should try to jam it in there. I was about to get a warranty exchange and be without a phone for 3 weeks. I read this forum, and used my hulk strength to jam the jack in there. My case was also slightly making teh jack not all the way go in.
Works okay now, thanks for sharing!

Hey, I know this is old, but my phone does the same thing. I always plug it into my FM transmitter while in my car, but if I spin the 3.5mm cord around in the jack (which I got used to doing, being a very fidgety person), it stops playing immediately. Is this what you've experienced? Has anyone found any information on it?
Thanks.
The headphone jacks at first are a bit stiff but after listening to music so much, they actually loosen up. It takes time to break it in. I don't think it will get too loose though unless you damage the phone.

sound Jack ...!
Hi everyone. Urgent replies are more appreciated. I'm having a bit issue regarding to head phone jack. All appeared just yesterday night . Now whenever I plugged in headphone I have to continuously push it to b able to listen from both ear pieces otherwise after simply putting in like normally v do , only left earpiece is working. Plz tell. What to do. Its X715e unlocked version. Plz tell. But if I plug it in half way just when headphone sign shows it is working fin but when I completely plug in so it works only with left earpiece. While another head phone HTC desire c .that is working fine and nice.
Make sure you don't have lint in it if you do a safety pin works wonders with a flashlight. Still don't work. Like in mine get different headphones. The stock iPhone headphones keep the connection but my other zagg headphones seems the plug is to long and doesn't keep a connection very tight. Only happens with headphones that have microphones. Hope that helps.

Odd whistling noise when connected to aux input in car

I've got an aux input in my car, and today when I tried plugging in my GSIII, I got met with a faint but annoying whistling sound underneath my music.
It stops if there's no sound being sent over the wire, but the moment a notification (or music) starts playing, it comes up.
Car worked fine with my DX, and still works fine with my friends' iPhones, but I get the stupid sound with my brand new galaxy siii. Oddly enough, it works fine with headphones.
any ideas guys? I'm kinda stumped.
Search ground loop isolation. You are getting dirty power to your phone.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Do you have the phone charging through the cigarette lighter? You can get ground noise from there, and it will be transmitted through the phone to your stereo.
Hm. Let me try again without it charging, but that's strange. Why did my old DX not experience this?
Assuming that's the issue - will a different cable solve the problem?
edit: So I checked the phone without plugging it into the charger. Still get a whistling noise. It's really more like a high pitched hum. I notice that if I don't plug the plug in all the way it doesn't happen (but I think I only get one channel).
I'm getting the same thing, and it's driving me crazy. At first I thought my brakes were going bad in my car!
I've tried different audio players and apps, but it still always get the noise. The phone is not charging, and I did not get this with my old captivate either.
Any ideas?
Doesnt happen in my Porsche. I'm using Bluetooth audio though.

I am having the same issue. First time experiencing it though; never heard it with the iPhone, HOX, or NS
I'm using a line in cable, and when i jiggle it, i can hear the noise change tone at the same time. I have a feeling it might be because it's a regular stereo cable and the microphone combo jack on the phone is not working right with it. But that's just a guess.
It's pretty annoying and its making the phone unusable as a music player.
Happens in my Lamborghini (Dodge Caravan) when using a MP3 player. Usually, if I run my hand down the cable it clears as though it's some kind of static build up in the cable.

try flipping the cable (putting the aux in side into the phone and the phone side in the aux in) it happens to me sometimes and if I flip the cable it clears it out I couldn't tell you why though. also make sure there isn't any dust in the ports or on the cable ends.
That noise you hear is most likely due to the electrical system in the car. I rent cars all the time for work and never know the shape the electrical sys is in so to resolve the issue I bought a Kensington Cable from amazon and now have CD quality sound from any music app including pandora & spotify.
Hope this helps.:cyclops:

Unfortunately, my cable is RCA on one side (L+R channels split) and regular 3.5mm on other.

Not sure what you mean by "the electrical system" and the "shape" of it. Could you clarify? As I said, I have no problems with other devices in this car.
I would usually suspect something wrong with the car, or maybe a ground loop, but I can plug in my Galaxy S (Captivate) or iPod with the same cable, same everything, just switching out the phone, and the noise goes away.
The way the noise cuts in and out between songs, and when I close the music app, it seems to only happen when the audio chip is getting a signal or is being energized. This is making me think that it may just be a noisy chip :crying:
I was on conf call with SGS3 plugged to AUX, no power charging was going on. And either noise canceling didn't work, or noise was getting in thru AUX line to receiving end. I didn't have problems listening, but ppl on the other end complained, and I had to mute the mic.

sorry! Could you speak up please? I couldn"t hear you over the sound of your e-penis
I am having the same problem. My HTC Thunderbolt never had this problem. Same car and cables, I get the hissing and popping until I play something. Then it goes away until I stop the music and then it comes back again. Weird and disappointing.
The problem comes from the 4-pin (TRRS) audio jack in the GSIII combined with presumably bad grounding in my 2007 Honda Accord, or the Aux adapter.
I fixed it with a simple DIY solution. I cannibalized a TRRS headphone jack and bought a TRS (3-pin) port from radioshack. I clipped off the jack with a generous portion of wire, then stripped them and cleaned them from their insulation (they are covered in insulating dye).
I connected 3 of the wires to the TRS connector, and taped the whole thing up. No more hum.
Also known as Road Noise. Where the power cable and audio input are too close to each other. Electrical current emits a small magnetic field which will hinder audio quality and promote road noise from the alternator.
This is a very typical senario in car audio install, when you run the power cable and rca right next to each other.
this buzzing noise happens to me every time i drive my car for the past 3 years:
solution: turn down the car volume. if you keep your car volume half-way, then you wont hear it as much, or you wont hear it at all.... you can make the phone volume as loud as you want though. also, as you accelerate faster, the noise gets louder. watch, try it.

Static when connected to Aux input in car and charger plugged in

I just got my S4 this week. I recently changed phones from the Note 2.
When I play music via the 3.5mm cable to my car's Aux input I hear static only when no sound is playing. Also, the quality of the music isn't as good as the Note 2. I would suspect that the clarity, range and overall quality of the S4 would at least be at par to my Note 2.
Just this morning I unplugged the usb charger and the static stopped. I have not been able to replicate this issue with headphones or other chargers. Normally, I would suspect that one of the cables are going bad. However, the same cables work fine with the Note 2.
There appears to be the metal of the charger is hitting the metal bezel/border around the phone that the 3.5mm input is resting on causing (grounding?) the static. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known issue? I want to make sure it's not a defect on the phone.
If anybody have any solutions or recommendations on better cables please let me know.
Thanks

The metal-looking bezel around the phone is just painted plastic. I can't say I've experienced this issue, and it's strange that it doesn't happen with other headphones.

I used a different charger when I tested the headphones. I'm going to try headphones with the same charger tonight. Is it possible there's an internal short or ground causing this? I read other people having static over the audio but I only hear the static when no music is playing that includes changing songs.
There is a known issue with SOME GS4's and their headphone jacks causing static or crackling noise during playback. It is a random issue and seems to be an issue with certain types of headphones or whatever is plugged into the jack. For example, you can use the headphones the phone came with and they are fine but some aftermarket headphones have the issue. This is 1 reason why i didn't preorder my phone online but went into a corporate store and had them test it before they set it up.
My advice, is since you're inside your 14 day return policy i would return for a new unit.

Could be a grounding issue between the audio in car and your charger. May need to isolate the ground....

Same issue here
I'm having the same issue with static/buzz between tracks with the charger plugged in. I believe there is a grounding issue in the phone itself. I've had several other devices plugged into the same cable with no issues. It's really annoying. What's odd is that there's zero buzz when a track is playing. It only happens when the tracks change.
Update: I just checked it with a coworker's S4 and the same issue is happening. Also, if an audio application is not running the buzz is heard when the charger is plugged in. As soon as an audio application runs the buzz goes away until the songs/tracks change and then it's only making noise between the tracks. Seems like something in the audio section disconnects when there's no audio. Definitely a Samsung issue.
Im also having the exactvsame issue that Icecreaman is describing to the T. So my big question of the evening, is it all VZW S4s or are there a bad batch? Because if its a bad batch I can return my still for a new one...
Thoughts.

Ok so it gets more interesting. I grabbed my wifes S4 which I got from a differnt store 3 weeks apart from my as well as the fact that mine is the white variant hers is black.
Now what I have realized at least in my vehicle is that it only does it for her phone when I have the aux cable plugged in AND micro USB is plugged in and charging. If I remove the micro USB the cutting/popping is none existant. I will try it with mine tomorrow. I suggest you guys try the same thing and post results.

I do have the exact same results with both phones tested when micro USB and Aux Cable plugged in. Sorry for not making that more clear in my last post.
99% sure this is a grounding issue in your car, and not a problem with the phone. My old Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, and now my Galaxy S4 all do the same. It's a grounding issue, not the phone. Do I know how to fix it? Unfortunately no.

Definitely not a grounding issue with car. Once an audio app turns on there is no noise, even when music is paused it's dead silent. I also was able to reproduce the issue with a set of computer speakers in the house to eliminate the possibility of the car causing the issue. It is a ground problem but it's in the phone. Samsung is disconnecting something in the headphone section of the phone when there's no audio apps running. If I plug in my micro USB and AUX jack in the car with all audio apps closed I get a constant buzz. It sounds similar to the sound you get when you touch an audio cable that's plugged into an amp. I've tested three phones now all with the same problem in different cars.

Wow, so I'm definitely am not alone. It's exactly as everyone describes it. I also tried using the same micro usb charger and a headset instead of my aux cable and no issue. However, I just bought this off Amazon which eliminated the issue with my current phone. :
Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone, including iPhone 4S (I can't post links but that's the title on Amazon)
I'm also Verizon also sent me a new phone to exchange my current but it sounds like the new phone will still have the same issue with my old cable. I'm debating on whether to just send the new one back or not since i just burned one of my three screen protectors.
But I can defintely confirm that if it's not a defect and an actual flaw in the phone then those headsets eliminates the issue.

Seems like its a wider-spread issue and no you aren't alone. I also have an issue with the volume dramatically increasing and decreasing while plugged into my AUX in my Tahoe. I was poking around the other S4 forums for the ATT, TMo and Sprint variants and its apparent there too. However the consensus is that issue is related to The Google Play Music app and more specifically the EQ.
I have had 'noise' on my AUX line in my truck before and it would be expected without a ground isolator however it seems worse with my S4.
So it seems that common wisdom here would say that a new replacement phone would not do any good?
-Lil'
I had the same issue in my truck with the s3. I think it was a ground issue.
There was improvement with the replacement device bu5 the issue wad still present. But the Kensington wire does eliminate the noise so it's definitely worth checking out.

LG G5 headphone quality

When I use my headphones on my LG G5 there is very obvious hissing/static noise on the left side especially when there is heavy bass. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? I am using Bose QC25. Thanks for any help.
In the "The LG G5 Discussion Thread" someone reported that moving the headphone jack slightly disconnects the audio, and that this happened on two different phones. Not sure about hissing/static though, mine is in the mail so I hope it's just your unit :/
Sounds like it's your headphones to me. Make sure they're plugged in all the way

+1, at first, the female jack locking device was too tight, so i didn't dare pushing the male headphone jack all the way in.

all clear and smooth now.

LG G5 connected to car audio unit. Not working...

OK so I'm stumped. Got my new LG G5 and it's pretty sweet so far but I'm running into a very weird issue that's kinda hard to explain. Basically it boils down to my G5 not being able to play audio through a normal 1/8 inch headphone auxiliarie input connected to my car CD deck. Before I got this phone I was easily able to connect my old phone to my car's aux input with the same cable and worked just fine but not with the G5. I tried the same cable with other speakers and the G5 plays perfectly though anything else. Other phones play just fine through my car's aux input. Only the G5 seems to send a signal that's very faint and has a lot of static on top of it. It's very strange. I do a lot in audio production and can't explain this unless the G5 outputs some weird audio signal that's not compatible with certain aux inputs lol but that seems ridiculous...
for what it's worth
I noticed that my volume all around is much higher with the G5. My G3 was much less loud. Is it possible that the signal is too strong and the car deck is therefore producing too much distortion - have you tried just lowering the volume on the G5? I'm hardly an Audio expert, but my current settings are all practically on the first notch above 0 for most notifications whereas on the G3 they were all in the middle.
I have also noticed the volume on the G5 is quite loud. I have tried playing through the car speakers at a lower volume and unfortunately I get the same static and weak signal.
Strange thing for me is that it connects to my audio Bluetooth adapter when I am nowhere near the car. I had to plug the adapter into a lighter adapter that shut off when the car does to keep this from happening.
If I can't get this thing to work just plugged into my car system I'll have to buy a Chromecast Audio and plug that into my car decks aux input. I just don't understand why it works everywhere but my car's aux input.
i'm getting more static than music with my g5...might send it back to get another one since i doubt this is a software issue?

So weird! I am glad someone else can attest to this happening! Really have no idea if it would be hardware or software at this point. The only thing I can think of is that the phone outputs a higher quality signal than my car stereo can handle? I have never encountered an issue like this before... I don't know what specifically could be making only car stereos not work with the G5. So weird...

Ugh. OK. Now i gotta figure out how to get to my rear aux input. lol.
That did it. Pulled out my deck and connected to the back aux port just fine. So weird. At least there is a workaround. Thanks MF Doom!
