Easiest way is to put headphones on without playing anything, plug phone into charger, and start scrolling the screen around. I hear an electrical pulse with each screen movement.)
Yeah, I noticed the new jack position is a bit annoying if you wear a hip holster on the right side. You have to turn the phone to face you with the bottom forward if you want the cable in the same position. You have to have the cable in back if you want the phone facing out. Which means anything you brush against in passing can easily pull out the headphone jack...
Electric pulses, I'm not hearing it with my Shure headphones or Earpods. However, I did notice scratchy sounds when I jiggled the plug on the Earpods to unplug them (doesn't happen on my Shure's).
