I've noticed a few threads about some weird/messed up audio. My phone seems to have both of these issues. The first issue ive noticed people talk about is the audio getting choppy and "cracky" sounding, which ive only had a few times and like others have said, do a simple reboot and its all good. The second problem i have (my main gripe) it seems people get these two problems mixed up is, while listening to audio a crackly noise will come out of your headphones/Aux input while the audio is still playing just fine. Some say its a hardware issue, others say its software. I think it might actually be software (contrary to my belief, because even I at first thought it was a hardware issue), issue because if i restart the phone and the Beats is already off, i can listen to music for 20 minutes and this "crackling" sound doesn't omit from my headphones, but once i turn on the Beats and even after i turn it back off this noise stays unless i reboot and leave beats off. So has any one else had this problem, and/or know truly if its a Software or Hardware problem. I took it to Verizon and of course it worked magically without me having to reboot (i purposefully didnt to show the problem but it magically went away the 30 minutes i was there, and it of course the "crackling" started again about a half hour later). If you have this issue are you Pre-Portico or Post, becuase of course Verizon hasnt "Pushed" it yet, i wonder if that overall update addresses the issue. Any thoughts?
I haven't been able to try my problem with Bluetooth either, if it did it over bluetooth then that defiantly shows its a software problem and not the built in headphone amp, which would make me feel better because im willing to wait for an update, tho I dont know if you can have Beats on while using Bluetooth, like i said i cant try it because i don't have anything Bluetooth.
UPDATE* I just installed a "Beats Audio" software update, it did nothing to fix my problem.
