hi there ...

yep - does not sound like anything undesirable tho
Me too...bit of a loose case, I guess. Certainly nothing to worry about, just don't push too hard!
so this is a manufacture issue...
cool i just want to make sure of it because i paid lot of money.
so is it repairable? or not?!!

Ermm, I seem to be the exception to the rule today. I don't hear any sound, its rock solid. I even lifted up the screen and pressed on the area just a little beyond the "enter" button. I could not hear anythin until I brought it closeeee to my ear and even then it was barely audible!
Could you more specific which area u are referring to?

When I'm on the phone with the Cingular 8525, I would randomly hear some kind of soft typing/clicking noise through the speaker.. I tried talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset and I still hear the damn noise!
Anyone else experience this?
possible screen tap sound from your cheek or something in your pocket (when using bluetooth) touching the screen? turn off screen tap sounds and see if it goes away.
I hear the same thing when I'm driving down the Pennsylvania Turnpike... It just may be one of the reasons I return this phone... Never had this issue w/ my other phone.

I used to get various clicks/sounds, which were meant to be there but annoying until I turned off event sounds etc.

I'm not aware of this being reported by others, except for a couple on this thread. So if event sounds are of and no apps running like push mail then I would think it's a faulty device.
Just for info you described the noise but I'm not clear whether this is an occasional sound or a more or less continuous noise. I'm afraid this device when you get a good one is briliant but there is a high number of flakey ones out there. Warranty return??

I'm on my second one and it seems to be on a certain strip along the Pennsylvania Turnpike that this persists... Anyone else still experiencing something like this?

You're probably well aware of this but just in case. Turning of screen tap sounds is not the same as turning off event sounds. Event sounds can be heard for all sorts of reasons including taping screen i.e when application starts to open but also as for example a wifi network is detected and any other event like switching from 3g etc etc.

My unit just started that weird rhythmic clicking sound this Friday. I've had the unit for a month. I get the noise in all places I've used the phone - all around the city.
The clicks happen in pairs, 1 pair roughly per second. A sequence of these pairs lasts between 3 and 10 iterations. Then a break the length of one pair and off they go again.
I too have done a soft reset and stopped all apps running. The clicking persists.
hi everyone,
thanks for looking at this, i am a new user and have just have noticed that when you hold the bottom half of the handset where the navigational buttons are to your ear, you can hear a definate buzz. it is a high pitched ring and i can only hear it when it is fully on (not on standby), and it makes the noise in flight mode.
is this normal? isit a fault, should o2 take it in for repair? does anybody know any solutions or causes?
thanks for your help,
thepolice
I've never had a phone that buzzed but friends have had 'em. If I were you and it's under warranty, I'd at least call up, describe the problem and see what the carrier/manufacturer say about it. My friends never had a phone die on them because of it, but it never got better on it's own and it seems to be the display, leaving you nothing you can really do yourself.

This is where the vibrator is located in the MDA (top right corner) maybe it will help. This sounds like a service issue.
I recently read this posts . I have the same problem.
how did you fixed it ? btw, it is definetly the screen making noise, i dismantled the phone and turned it on and the screen was making that noise. It is verry annoying + if you try to overclock the cpu the noise changes frequency.
have a nice day !
ps. sorry if i revive a dead and old topic, but the issue is unsolved.

Haha don't worry about it mate... I took it to the shop and the guy explained that the sound is the frequency of the screen - like your tv. It's nothing to worry about and the sound won't get worse.
i was thinking it had smth to do with the frequency, it;s weard that some phones have that sound and some don;t.
Hmmm.. well i'm guessing it's a bit far-fetched.. but is there anything here does helps with the speakers of the X1.. at times, i cant even hear the ring..
I'm new in WinMo and after reading at these threads, i'm juz trying my luck to see whether there's anything that can be done..
Thanks a lot guyz...
Generally, I have no problems with the speaker at all. Only when it's covered, the sound diminishes really fast. Is your speaker by any chance covered? For instance when in your pocket. All you can do is increase your volume with the side buttons, and set it to vibrate + ring.
It's not really covered but it is on my pocket.. and the thing is i work in quite a noisy environment.. so it is a bit hard to hear it sometimes..
yea the sound goes really low when it is covered and only one speaker is there so the sound is very low try using the ring + vibrate mode it may help u little bit and also u can set the option of illumination while ringing.
if i put it in my pocket, i dunno if it is coverd but i can't hear the ring
also, the vibration is so "consistant" that i couldn't feel it.......

Had the same issue with a previous phone
I solved it by wearing a Sony Ericsson BT watch
My watch vibrates (and the tickle is sooo obvious, can´t be mistaken) and tells me who's calling
Maybe a BT watch can help if you work in a noisy environment
I know there is another short post about this, but wanted to get a quick poll from people about whether this is even a fault. The phone does not appear to be malfunctioning.
I have noticed a rattle in the head of the device (this is not related to the volume button, mine is a bit loose, but it doesn't really bother me). If I shake it perpendicular to the screen, it makes a small rattling sound. If however, I tap it lightly near the back speaker, it makes a large and rather unnerving rattling sound (if you're going to test for this, please hold onto the volume button to rule this out). The issue with this is that when I take a call and the volume is quite high, whatever is loose appears to rattle sometimes, making the unrelated but highly annoying audio distortion problem even worse!
I have managed to get opinions from 2 other users already. One has it, the other doesn't. That makes 2 that have it and 1 that doesn't so far.
Any ideas on what it might be, also appreciated!
Mine does it, i suppose it could be the camera lense =/
I notice the rattle, and have noticed previously a nasty distortion type rattling sound when on a call.....
Mine phone started doing that after using the camera edge to open beer bottles. But only after the 12th bottle....
mine too...
My phone does it too, when i shake the phone it doesnt sound but when i tap the speaker it makes the loose kinda screw soundm it almost sounds like when the lens is focusing it makes a sort of click its almost the same so i would assume it is the lens, after all my phone is working great, only the screen fails to respond sometimes when typing an sms or using the sense keyboard...
i think it is the lens
it is the lens, is has a small magnetic mechanism, similar to a solenoid to move the lens in and out for focusing. If it didnt have a little rattle, your autofocuser is stuck
OK thanks for the replies, looks like pretty much everyone has got it, but curiously, I got a reply from HTC on the matter, concluding that there might be an issue with the handset. Admittedly I asked about the sound distortion too, but they recommended a replacement?!? Sounds like they don't know about this or just blanket recommend a replacement if they're not sure.
I'll probably stick with the unit though, other than those 2 issues, my handset is perfect.
Thanks again for all the responses!
Hmmm I just rang htc about this has mine as developed the fault.. Also reported that my bottom buttons are starting to peel. Not to sure if i should send it off now or not.. Problem is.. It didn't do it before so why is it now? The guy on the phone was hinting towards me maybe dropping the phone I think and said I may incur a charge if they don't believe it is a problem with the phone.. Which I no I shouldn't but find really offending because I treat my phones like a baby and has never been placed on a surface hard in its life (and always placed on top of the htc case) let alone dropped.. But I know there are a lot of people who don't mind spending £500 on a phone and not treating it to well so I guess they have to presume this..
Anyway..
I also think it is coming from the camera area.. I never use the vibrate function so turned that on for a bit to see if that would make any difference and also used the camera for a while to see if it was the auto focus but still the same. If the noise wasn't so obvious I wouldn't send it in for repair but I think this noise is going to do my head in.. (also want the buttons replaces as they are starting to peel)
If they try to put the noise down to misuse I think I will be selling up and moving back to apple.. Shame because I love the HD2.
Just out of interest my phone came from one of the 1st batches from Clove in November.
I noticed that upon the vibration being triggered on really short spurts (for example when typing) that occasionally a clicking noise is generated. This isn't from the speaker, it's definately a mechanical noise.
For reference, My EVO is less then 24 hours old.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
I haven't heard any clicking and I've had mine for a week. I just tested it with typing and I don't hear any mechanical noise. Perhaps yours is defective?
The vibration on this phone is 100% more refined than the Hero's (in my opinion, lol). I turned off haptic feedback everywhere on my Hero because it was obnoxious and obtrusive. The haptic on the Evo seems smooth and intuitive. I prefer to use it on anything with the option.
I had it on a replacement vogue I got, it went away after awhile.
Take it into sprint and see if you can replace it.
My Nexus One use to do that. Did it from day one I had it since release date and still works fine.
I happened to notice this today myself but the noise eventually went away. I hope it doesn't become a big issue.
Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily a defect. Just when it gets triggered for such a short time-span that sometimes happens. Not that first phone I've noticed it on.

I was watching a podcast of the 404(cnet) and one of the hosts had something go wrong with his vibration on his evo....??
He said it will still vibrate like when calls came in, but for like the haptic feedback it didn't work.(yes he menitoned he had checked all the settings that were relative)
Dunno if this means anything to you but it could be more than a fluke problem. You never know...
I'm having this exact same problem on a nexus one...

After about two and a half weeks of ownership I started getting the click. It happens when the vibration is very short, maybe less than 1 second.
It isn't really obnoxious to me, but it is enough of a click that I notice it now.
Haven't noticed this ... yet ...
-_-

lol I thought I was the only one.
Curious, how loud? Would the key tone, god forbid that even be on, cover it up? Medium volume? (Is that loud??? I don't use the key tones ... )
Mine does the same thing. Clicks every other input. At the home screen I can press the back button over and over and every other time is clicks.. doesn't sound healthy. Its getting annoying when texting because every other letter feels differnt making some letters feel like there is no vibration....
THe more it does it, it's starting to feel like a rattle, like something is loose....
I used to have that w/ my first evo. Then i bought a second off the market and it didnt have the vibration problem. so i returned the first...
I have this issue, will sprint do an exchange because of this? I can replicateit by holding the backspace key on swype, its a loud annoying clicking
Edit: I upgraded to the new swype and thenoise is gone
I have this same clicking sound, doesn't seem to bother me though!
yup, mine will occasionally do it too. It almost sounds like there is slack in there and whenever it starts up it slaps against something. Mine doesn't seem to be getting worse so I'm not to worried about it but I definitely notice it when it does happen.

Sounds about right to me it don't happen all the time so I just assumed it worked similar to a ps3 controller? Prob not but I have noticed but not been bothered by this
