So a new device ..new issues.
I have the Verizon S3, but I am not sure if this is Verizon specific or not. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima (LX, forgive me..family man) and I have the stock head unit. It has been great with EVERY phone I have had (Razr, Nexus, Bionic, Rezound, X, Thunderbolt) for streaming sound via bluetooth. I got mine Friday and just got to mess with it because my wife went into labor simultaneously
Anyway, it pops and cracks every 3 seconds to the point I thought it was going to bust my tweeters. It doesn't seem to do it during a call, only media. It doesn't matter the file type or anything. Also if I use the AUX cable it has terrible terrible feedback. I can hear it in headphones too. It's the sound like a wire is grounding out somewhere...if you've ever dealt with audio cabling before.
Is anyone else having this very issue, or did I get a dud? Also, does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it? I tried equalizers and adjusting the volume. I also tried a JayBird stereo bluetooth headset. I tried the ol restart -- no factory reset yet though. If you have any clue, please let me know. I just don't want to waste time getting replacements if we are all experiencing it. Thanks!
(also this happens in the browser, youtube, media player, etc.)
