Hey everyone. I just switched over to Apple's iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless. Works great.

Was playing songs on my iPhone's iPod (sounds weird...) via USB, and noticed that there were popping noises.

I toggled sound check on and off, no changes. The popping noises seem pretty random. Also put the iPhone in airplane mode, and still popping was heard over the speakers. I know this isn't a speaker issue because my AM/FM/SAT/CD and old iPod nano didn't make these noises. I know it's not the bitrate of my mp3 files because I have the exact same files on my iPod nano and this has never happened before.

I DID have Bluetooth on, haven't tried toggling it on or off. It would suck if you couldn't use Bluetooth WITH the iPod playing because of the popping noises. Any other iPhone users encounter the same problems?

I'm also using an aftermarket USB iPod cable. Will try the factory iPod cable when I get a chance.

Have you tried it with Bluetooth yet instead of USB? I have a Verizon iPhone and run it over Bluetooth and have had no problems at all

I've used my iPod and my wifes iPhone in my car and I haven't had any issues.

I use my iPhone4 to stream Pandora. Works great. I also have an iPod Nano hard-wired in and it also works flawlessly.

Could it be your cable? I'd start with that.

I'm with the mm767cap(tain) on this one. Try running your music over Bluetooth. Works great and just auto-connects when you power on. When you get a phone call, though, the music will pause while you're talking.

Yeah. it was the freakin' cable. UGH. I can't believe it was something as simple as that. Just because it worked on the iPod nano doesn't necessarily mean it will work on the iPhone, since I did forget to conveniently mention that it came apart when i was unplugging the iPod nano last time...

LOLz.

Thanks everyone.

I like to plug my iPhone in when playing music off of it to charge it, so it defeats the purpose of me playing over Bluetooth if I keep it tethered.

Hey Matt,

You might try the bluetooth method to see if it pops for you that way. If so, you can eliminate the cable as the culprit without buying a new one

It was definitely the cable. I have plenty of iPod cables that work fine. It was an aftermarket cable that was causing the problem. 20 cm RadTech iPod cable. Poor build quality.

Ahh good. Glad you got it solved!
