hi everyone
can you please do me a little favor.
can u please shake your magician and tell me if there is somthing that sounds loose inside, specifically inside where the speaker is. i dropped my magician today, and im getting paranoid if i damaged something inside. it perfectly works though, but when i shake it, a sound coming from inside makes me nervous. :shock:
There's a slight rattle coming from my S100. Holding down the buttons on the front makes it go away.
:shock: same as mines, i noticed it ages ago, but didnt think much of it.
mines a charmer.
I think the rattle comes from the vibrator.

Confirmed on my o2 xda mini. It's the D-PAD.

I never saw a phone with vibration function that had rattling installed by factory default. Actually, as far as I know a vibration engine has no loose parts. It is just electric motor with an excentic wheel on the rotating shaft. This puts kinetic energy into the phone and the actual rattling comes from the phone bouncing up and down on the tabletop or whatever.
Look at this to understand me:

the sound doesnt come from my imate's d-pad, but it comes from where the speaker is.
Its from the sd card loader. I have a brand new jam and a used one and they both have this rattle. Annoying but it works great.
There's a slight rattle coming from my spv m500
There's no rattling on my unit even after changing the housing.

Hi guys.
I have a little audio problem with my Himalaya/i-mate/XDA II/MDA II/Qtek 2020 or whatever you like to call it.
The internal speaker seems to have a contact with something metallic or hard plastic. At the max earpiece volume, when calling, the ringing tone is distorted. When lowering the volume, it does not do this. It seems that, when the plastic membrane is moving, to reproduces the loud sound, it touches something hard and it distorts the sound. Does anyone have experienced this? I want to try to fix this. I paid hard won money for this marvellous device, and I do not want my experience to be ruined by bad audio.
Thanks for the help guys!
Not sure if its the same thing but when i played any sound it crakled a little. Did not bother me until the camera sound went on and off every 1 second. Did a hard reset and seemed ok until it happened again so i did another hardware reset went through all the programs i had instaled until it happened again. So i reset a third time without instaling that program(cant remember the name of it) but it works ok now.
I know what you mean Patrick..and if you hold your thumb over the earpiece it sounds a bit better, though of course muffled.
This is something that does bother me as I sometimes use the loudspeaker call option. Other phones don't have this problem in loudspeaker and it surprises me the II does this, as apart from a slightly rattly volume adjuster the build of my II is significantly better than the XDAI.
Just one of those things we have to put up with in order to have such an otherwise great piece of kit, though I'm equally surprised the manufacturers didn't notice it!
Anthony
Thanks a lot !
Yeah, your description and the thumb thing is exactly what I mean. I wonder if it's the speaker membrane itself or a contact with something? Maybe it could be fixed?
Thanks a lot guys!
It may be a warranty claim, you need full volume when using the speakerphone, get in touch with the service centre.
I have the same exact problem... The sound distorts if you have it set too loud.
I guess it's just the el cheapo speaker or poor design.
Hi guys, i have the same problem and its bugging me alot, any sugesstion or solution???? is it a hardware problem or did we install some software that case this? my XDAII still has warranty do you sugest me to go for service center or just live with this problem.
Thanks
Well Iam not saying its a good thing but Iam happy to see Iam not the only one experiencing this problem with the speaker although I dont own XDA II but XDA IIi or Qtek2020i whatever way you wanna call it. I also wondered if it is a harware problem couldn't we replace the speaker with a better quality one? In my case this jitter mettalic sound does not happen only in speaker mode but also in normal mode as long as the volume is set close to max or max.
My Qtek2020i has the metallic sound only when it's a large amount of humidity and very hot outside.
It seems that the speaker suffer a lot from humidity, it also happen when i keep it in my jeans pocket and i prespire a lot. After half an hour when it dries out, everything is ok.
I have an Imate & Orange M1000, when I use the M1000 in the car not a single rattle, but with the I-mate there is terrible rattles. The noise appears to come from inside the unit, after I've removed the battery.
Does anyone have any idea what maybe the problem, are there any disassembly photos guides etc that may help. Both devices work perfectly, I just cannot stand the imate rattling on long jormeys.
Cheers
There should be nothing rattling, the phone consists only of the main board really, why do you remove the battery, you say it rattles after you remove battery.
Maybe you have a Fly into your Xda2? lol
Just kidding guys.. 8)
Try removing the Stylus.
It causes ratteling sounds with my MDA II too.
But they are very quiet with my device, so I didn't do anything about it.
Hope this helps.
...
It's not that something rattles inside, instead something is rattling outside!
Try and hold the volume slider and shake your xda for a moment! The sound stopped for me though.
Is this what you've meant? What i've seen from pictures inside the xda there can't be anything loose.
You're both right (thank god).
Ever since my MDA fell, screen forward, naked, to the street i've been in denial. Didn't want to believe the rattle was from the drop.
It wasn't ! !
After the removal of the styles, it rattled less. After holding the volumeslider it was gone !
Thanks for saveing me :lol: :roll:
Hey,
glad we could provide a little help to you
But please tell us, what you are doing to prevent the stylus and the volumeslider from ratteling.
I think you're not holding the pen and the volumeslider while driving :lol:
...
I do nothing, it's not as loud in the car..
(as if it would ever be heard if i switch my car radio on)..
I just hear the rattleing if i shake the MDA...

I seem to have located the source of the rattle if I squeeze the front & back around the speaker all is quiet. This would imply that the speaker or the SD socket maybe loose.
Is it pretty straight forward to remove the covers, are there any howto guides, picture by picture stuff?
Cheers

Yes it's pretty straight forward, just make sure you take the battery out and remove the screws there first. Then the plastic piece around the camera pops off there next. Under that piece are 2 more screws to take out before you can take the case apart. I don't have any pictures as of yet but I need to take mine apart again in the next day or so as I have a mic problem, and I will try to get pictures then.

Hi,
yes, there are pictures from someone disassembling the MDA II in this forum, just can't find where right now...
Maybe someone can point a way, or try searching.
Good Luck and keep us posted.

Of course there is a guide to the guts of the MDA2, I made it myself when I fixed my speaker problem (it didn't rattle, it just refused to work, however, the problem was fixed)...
Check it here.

Hi all,
I tend to use a BT headset with my Athena most of the time, but today I forgot it before going out! so I had to go back to using the Athena to my ear, not a huge problem with hands my size, however even with the volume down to its lowest it was still way to loud. Does anyone know of a reg hack or small program that will let you lower the volume down to a discreet volume, and not a hands free volume? its not a problem most of the time, but as a paramedic some of my calls can be a little personal. Its just in case it happens again. you can appreciate I'm not in the position to nip home for left items
Many thanks
Jay

I put my fingers over the loudspeakers.... isn't confortable but it works!
I have been thinking about this issue a bit lately myself. My thought is to glue something over both the left and right speaker to completely or almost completely seal it. I might try with different materials and see the effect. May be we can make it almost like a normal embedded earpiece.. just thinking.

hi
i already tried to put tape over the speakers, and can tell you it wont work out. it is like the hole athena will sound, the backcover acts like a speaker. when you tape the speaker holes it sounds a litle bit like it came from a cave, but is still much to loud for a 'private' conversation. i think you have to grab a soldering iron and a resistor, to come to a solution, or someone find a way to reduce the volume by software some more than the volume slider can do.

Buy several cheap sets of earbuds and put them in different locatations where you might need them (car, office, briefcase). Not needing stereo for phone calls, clip off one of the earbuds for easier handling.

oops!

Well that is a good idea, and one that I have done already. One at the ambulance station, one at home, one in the car, and one in the rig. three ended back at home AHH the price of age! The one in the rig got nicked, so ive put them all back now, but thats why I need the program or hack.
Thanks for the idea's guys, any more?
take care

That is a good idea, could it be so, that there is a kinds of software, that we can adjust the volumen of left and right speaker, so that we can just use the right speaker or just use the left speaker, what ever. has anybody heard of that kind of tiny little soft ware?
Is there a regestry setting to lower the in call volume on the athena itself, so it would start at nothing?
Any solution on this "problem"? Sometimes my headset runs out of battery.
Regards
Hans
This only seems to be a problem with some of the cooked ROMS. The original WM6 ROM that came with my 7501 had a good low-volume level, but when I switched to AP4 the low-end is what used to be about mid-level before.
It must be either a registry change, or a sound driver.
Or a software that make it possible to decrease the volume more
Hi there, I wish to ask You simple question: Does Your wizard screaming? Yesterday, i hear some strange noise, comming from my Wizard, and my equipment detected quiet noise coming up from my Wizards display, sound about 15-20 kHz, and I'm wondering myself does other wizard have eject sounds like this one to? Does anybody know what is reason for such noise?
?????
hahahahhaahahhha!!!!!!!!!
Nice thread men!
what a foolish topic
Thanks, but this is not a foolish! My device making noise, coming up ftom screen, and my dude Dejan confirmed that all his S60 devices making such noise when screen lit to! Looks like is somehow related to screen hardware, but I can not measure exactly what freq is because of Dopplers effect... Maybe this sounds stupid, but I think it is related to screen refresh rate...
Mmmmm?
Now it sounds... INTERESTING!!!!
Not in my wizard.... but S60? whats that sorry?
My friends device (radulovity from this forum), same HTC Wizard, but G3 made that sound before he replaced his battery... I tried in my Wizard, but no effect... Nokia N70 and N73 from my friend also "screaming", but his N95 do not... I can not remember if my SIEMENS SX1 had that anomaly... But I think not. This sound making me nervous while making phone calls, because I can hear it, it is extremely low volume and high frequencies, but I can hear it. My old people can not...
Its just electrical noise, probobly from a transformer or similiar. You can solve it if you can get ahold of some ferrite, and put some of it between the mobo and the screen.
The noise is changing while I am touching the screen, looks like sound coming from touchscreen. Is that noise telling me that something is wrong with my hardware?

you had a siemens sx1 also? me too! i've had 3! 1 silver and 2 full black. Damn, such a beatifull phone!
did you have linux installed in yours?
Yes, i had linux but only on last few days of SX1's life... Actually, I had three of them, but none still alive, hardware issue...
Mine is making noise two. And indeed if I press the screen, the volume and the frequency changes.
I'll put some tape between the mobo and the screen, maybe it 'll help..
This is how it screams?????

Unusual rattling sound, shake your Phone, Thanks
My Xperia has a very unusual rattling sound coming from near the speaker of the handset
Are any of you experiencing this problem, it sounds very much like a loose component inside
Any chance a few X1 Xperia owners can give their phone a quick shake and see if you can hear any obvious components rattling.
Sounds like i need to send it back to the suppliers
Thanks for your help, much appreciated

I have that too, but I don't think it's anything to worry about because when I put a finger on the optical joystick and shake, the rattle is gone..
But if it rattles even though you have a finger on the optical joystick, you may be in trouble.. I mean your phone..
Yup i hear the same rattle. Its not as bad as the noise from the opening the keyboard on touch pro but there is a definitely a rattle
It's the auto focus of the camera, all X1's have the same noise.

Hiya mate, appreciate all the help,
You said as you hold the optical joystick you can’t hear any other sounds?
That helps a lot seeing as when I hold the joystick the rattle noise coming from the speaker phone is much louder than the joystick noise, it almost sounds like a loose screw, I think I might send it back just to be on the safe side and get a replacement sent.
It may also be the auto focus as mentioned highly possible thanks for the reply
Anymore takes on the matter would be appreciated
Thanks again
Hi, I have the same noise too when I shake the phone. It is a 1 day old X1A. Should I be concerned?
No, it's normal.
