Forced updated my focus s just two days ago. There's a Samsung update as well.
Can't tell what was in it, but it seems to have fixed the popping sound when on aux and changing tracks
@woodbane, I'm in the process of updating now. I have one more OS update to force and the firmware update and then i'll head out to the car at lunch and check. I'll post back later.I'm posting everywhere trying to find out if this in fact fixed but can't seem to get a direct answer.
Please guys - any of you that have forced the Tango update all the way - including the Sammy update that seems to be the last one that zune pushes - please, please please try playing some audio through the zune player via a car stereo or some other amplified source and report whether that annoying "pop" between tracks has gone.
I need more than one person to verifiy this before getting my hopes up.
Cheers.![]()

I've only streamed via bluetooth in the car so far - no popping noise there. Just an occasional random short dropout once in a while, but very rare. I'll try and remember to try via audio cable soon.I'm posting everywhere trying to find out if this in fact fixed but can't seem to get a direct answer.

Report:
Experiment 1: I played music through the aux cable at normal sound (normal to me, your usage may vary) and noticed no "pop" between tracks. I switched tracks a few dozen times in 3 different albums on my phone.
Experiment 2: I cranked the phone volume all the way up and turned it up quite loud in my car and had mixed results. Many times there was no "pop" but occasionally there was. Again I switched tracks several dozen times and listened closely. At no time did the "pop" reach the level of volume that the music did but it was noticeable about 30-40% of the time.
Experiment 3: At the previously set high volume, I allowed several tracks to progress naturally to the next and didn't hear a "pop" at any time when I did this.
Probably not quite what you wanted to hear, woodbane, but there it is. I'm not sure it's relevant, but I drive a 2010 Hyundai with factory stereo and a USB & AUX connection in the center console.
Also, a side note, while texting with my earbuds in and the key press sounds on, it no longer makes the staticy "woosh" sound between each key press.

I normally leave it at 18 but turn it up to 26-30 while listening in the car, which I mainly just listen to podcasts while driving. My car volume I have set between 10-12 on the display, whatever that means.Just wondering - the volume on Samsung Focus is usually set at around 26 all the time, car volume rarely above 1/4. What volume would you say your phone is normally on?

Exactly. I guess at that low volume, since the pop was never as loud as the music, I couldn't hear anything.So you'd say with phone volume at 26 and car volume at low - medium that you weren't really experienceing any pops (or you couldn't hear them)?
