maybe its the cold weather?? because my issues are back
ok.. i am going to throw this out there for what its worth.
here i was thinking that the 2.1 update fixed my sound/headphone issues and it did work for a week... until today. while walking to work this morning after about 5 min outside it started happening again.. crackling, loss of sound etc.
here is my new theory after i thought about the timeline of the purchase of my phone, when i first started getting these issues, after the 2.1 update till today.
i purchased the phone in November, although it was still fairly warm here and the phone worked great, no issues with the sound. I started having the sound issues mid December after i got back from Vegas when the temperature started to drop.
it got so bad i stopped listening to the player all together even while i was at work, the odd thing was the times i did listen at work it sounded fine (indoors, heated). so that was happening until the magic 2.1 update came out which happened to coincide with our 80 degree week from the 30's-40's that it had been since Dec.. which i didn't think anything about, but my phone worked like a champ and just thought it was the update that fixed it.
but today we had a cold front move in and when i walked to work in the 30 degree weather my phone started acting up. ( i keep it in a chest pocket of a jacket where it got the full brunt of the north wind) within 5 min of the cold it started acting up.. thats when it hit me. I took the phone out of my jacket pocket and put it in my jeans pocket and put my hand over it and started rubbing it on my leg to warm it up ( i am sure some passers by thought i was some kind of perv. ha) but lo and behold i started getting my music back and once i got inside to work i got complete full function back with no degradation of sound. once the phone was warmed up it played and acted normal.
the damn thing just doesn't like the cold.. at least that fits my condition.
but the pulling of the headphones and answering a call and not hearing the other individual has been fixed, so thats still good.
anyway.. those are my findings... the real truth is when the f'n summer does finally get here if the phone ever acts up again then.
