I've had the issue over different ROMs too.

My phone has no crackling, I use it for 8+ hours a day for music and other audio...

Well that was helpful.

Do you ever listen to softer music though?

Which headphones are you using? Could be sibilent headphones.

Zero · Jan 4, 2013, 09:46 PM

I've tried a bunch of different ones. Skull candy garbage, sony IEMs, Apple IEMs (for iphone), stock Samsung ones, pc headsets, sennheiser and grado mid end headphones amped and unamped, etc etc

The same distortion can be heard over the onboard speaker as well, so I really don't think it's got anything to do with the headphones' quality (or lack thereof).

Dubstep is garbage. I listen to a rather wide range of things though... Dubstep not included.

My screen cracked a while ago, and I tried replacing the glass today.
Everything went perfect, except the orange ribbon cable that is connected to the digitizer in every video I watched.

On mine, it was attached to the glass. When I gently pulled the bottom part of the glass up, the ribbon was stuck to the glass. I slowly and carefully pulled that ribbon off, but apparently it's broken -- the screen won't turn on. Phone works fine, but I can't see anything.

Everything looks 100% perfectly fine, can't even tell I changed the glass.

Couldn't you replace the whole screen?

I dropped it on pavement.
My luck with phones has been ****. Getting very disappointed tbh..

and of course, now I can't activate this old ass droid because the GS3 is on a 4G plan and the droid is on a 3G.

**** cell phones. This **** is a ****ing rip off.

Is there physical damage to the cable?
