Help Static while using headphones

[ren857]

I'm not sure if I should send my xoom back to motorola, so I need some advice.

When I use the headphones on my xoom, I hear static. I have changed headphones, and I still hear it. But, I only hear it while playing certain movies and when I play vidoes on youtube. I don't hear it while playing music. I hear static on certain iTunes movies (w/stripped drm), but I don't hear it on the movies I ripped using handbrake. Do you think this is a problem with the xoom or the media?

Also, as a side issue, when i press the screen when it is off, I see colors under my finger on the screen (that's the only way I can describe it). I had the same issue with my Droid X, but I ended up returning it because the colors wouldn't go away after I took my finger off the screen. Do you think I have a screen issue?

Other than that, I love this thing!

Thanks all.

you are not supposed to hear static at the headphone port. that alone is worth a replacement.

Yeah, I figured as much. I sure don't wanna go through an exchange with Motorola...but I will. Sigh...
