For some reason when I have headphone plugged in I get a semi high pitched audio hum/hiss. It seems to always be going when listening to music but will stop 3 seconds after pausing it. It also starts up when I start apps or do things on the phone.
I've tried other headphones, it's still the same. This is obviously very annoying.
Any idea on what I can do?
 
I had something similar and found that I didn't have the jack plugged in QUITE all the way (THat jack is TIGHT).

I was getting nearly full volume, full stereo seperation, etc. but I was able to push the plug in JUST lightly more, and all of a sudden all the "background noise" was gone.

Worth a shot before swapping the phone, anyway.
