I just ended a call where I was hear the static.


First the battery issues (This morning, usage: 3hrs 9mins, standby: 3hrs 33minutes and am at 34% and dropping 1% every 4 mins or so), now this static issue. (sounded like a muffled Blackberry antenna sound, low, but very distracting).


I guess I am going to the Apple Store to talk to a genius.


If it means anything, I am in Arlington, VA.

I just tested this out again on a long call.


1. The position in which I am holding the phone does not matter.


2. I did a restore and setup as a new phone. No help.


3. The Audio on the call was dropping intermittently, for about 0.5-1s. i.e I couldn't hear my partners voice, or the static.


4. I realized I've heard a noise similar to this before.

It's VERY similar to the noise I would hear from my 3GS if I had it in this exact configuration; listening to music through a car stereo, the device is plugged into a cigarette outlet USB charger, the battery is at 100%. I would hear a low level, high frequency static coming through the speakers. If I unplugged the device the static went away. It didn't matter which stereo/charger it was being used with.
