I use the SE K750i for listening to Mp3’s and playing videos too, so there’s no problems like that. If you have k750i, just get a pair of decent earphones and a larger memory stick then the phone will be a music and video player too.

WOW! That explains a lot… I’ve been having this happen to me ALOT and it was all unexplainable. Never thought about my phone, my MPx220 actually puts out TONS of interference even when I’m not making a call, speakers go crazy too… that crackling is beginning to sound like hell.

Anyways, if there was only a way to hone this mistake… have a remote control that could control the volume on your iPod… hehehe

I was having this problem with my iPod also! I thought I was going nuts. My iPod has been having a bunch of problems as it is and I’ve only had it over a month, I think it’s time to send it back :\

I get the interference with my Motorola Razr phone. The volume jumps, and I get the ‘pulsing’ noise in the earbuds. Good to know that I’m not the only one with these problems.

I just had the volume spazz happen to me at work, and got to this thread from google. Glad it isn’t just my ipod! It’s one thing to have the weird pulsing sound, but to have the thing’s functions affected is a different ball game. Especially when your volume can be cranked up to maximum in an instant…not healthy. The ipods should have been tested and cleared for this kind of electromagnetic compatibility before they were ever marketed. Product recall maybe? Could sort out the scratched screens then :-)

Motorola’s Black razor makes the voulme go up and down like crazy. Its a shame. Apple is gonna get sued over this.

Presuming that the interference is related to the click wheel, does this mean I shouldn’t operate my iPod whilst close to my pet dolphin too?

iPod radio interference: Treo “remote”?…

While listening to or watching my iPod lately, I’ve noticed that if my Treo gets too close to the iPod, it has the ability to change the volume. This isn’t a random occurrence, I can reproduce it frequently. It appears……

The same crazy volume problem happens with my Blackberry 7290 too. Even when they are some distance away from each other.

iJunk! My pod works maybe 30min on full charge, 2 years after…
Just wait when the ipod nation finds out this ivideo-junk’s real color…watching movies…loosing their eyes and the damn thing runs out of battery in 40min Never buy one again.
Can’t run with it, as it will skip…The commercial is a fraud…if you whip it around like that it will stop and U have to reset it.

Had related experience with both my ipod mini and earlier generation ipod (1 year old) – happened when I received a call on my Sony Ericsson 616 … I paused the podcast I was listening to while I answered call, and then found that the ipod screen had gone blank and would not restart. Happened on two separate occasions with two different ipods. Found also that a hard restart seems to have resuscitated the ipods.

Just discovered this yeasterday. I was at work enjoying my music, when the sound totaly went down, when i got a txt on my Nokia. I thoght that was a cool feature of ipods to do that. I was like way to go Apple. But it came to my attention the next day when i had my ipod next to my cell, that my ipod would not start at all. I could hear the click wheel click, but nothing was showing on screen. I panicked and i had to press Menu+Enter buttons to restart the ipod. It was fine after that, but not sure what is the long term effect my phone had done to my ipod? All I can say at this point is my cell phone is comming no where near my ipod…

[...] I’d heard reports of mobile phones interfering with 5th generation iPods, but didn’t quite believe it. [...]

YESssssssssssssss – my iPod did that and I thought I’d discovered something hitherto unknown to man! :-) really weird….
Plus – does it happen to everyone and to older iPods…the earplug wire is so crappy that jostling it changes sound volume in one or both plugs!

[...] Apple really fucked up this time around. It seems they have been really cutting back on costs, no power adapter, crappy packaging, easily scratches surface and best of all, if you have your phone next to your ipod and it rings you can say goodbye to your ears. [...]
