[Q] Why does my music cut out for a second when plugged into a charger?

[guitar_capo]

Hello, as my title states, my S3 (Verizon) works wonderfully. The only issue I am having concerns playing music. It doesn't matter if the song is stored on the phone or on an external microSD card. It doesn't matter which media player I use (I prefer Poweramp). Whenever it is plugged into a charger (wall or car) and I move or touch the phone physically, the music cuts out for a brief second. The player icon in the notfication bar also fades away, then comes back quickly. It's almost like I pause and unpause the music quickly.

I have tried rebooting the phone and blowing the microUSB port with compressed air, but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It plays a sound if you're connecting to a charger or usb doesn't it? From my experience, any media (music, radio, in-game sound) briefly mutes then resumes playing when using connector. Don't know how it'd work if you set it up so it doesn't play the sound

Sounds like a faulty charger. It would explain why it cuts off when you move your phone.

It only does it when it is already connected, not when I am in the act of connecting it.

I do suspect that it is something with the charger, however it does it with multiple chargers....Although, come to think of it, I buy cheap ones from Amazon, haha. I bet that is the problem. I wonder why that is. Maybe the charger is making my phone briefly think it is in dock mode.

Anyway, thanks for the replies!
