I noticed the other day, for the first time, that I had some popping occurring while listening to either music, navigation, or podcast.
I narrowed it down to the following scenarios: (had a 5 hour drive to figure it out).
I have my phone connected to my stereo via standard audio cable.
When the phone is connected to the car charger, AND my screen is ON, the popping occurs every few seconds.
If I remove the power from the phone, the popping goes away.
If I turn off the screen (with audio and power still connected), the popping goes away.
But, it's guaranteed that if I have the phone plugged into both audio and power, and have the screen on... then i get pops every so often (5-10 second repetition). Enough, that it's distracting to the point of not being able to listen to it.
I assume that this has something to do with the continuous incoming power being used for the screen. Sucks that it impacts the audio feed.
i have no current solution, other than to remove power for a while.. or simply leave the screen turned off (which is not preferred when I have navigation up, or want to listen and see pandora at the same time).
