I've been reading in the Tmo forums about people who have been having battery cover problems. Does anyone have the issue where if they press the battery cover side that is between the power button and the camera button, it produces a clicking noise, like that of a snapple top?
Yeah, I just live with it.
It's rather a chirping sound in that same spot on my dev phone, but I fixed it by putting three layers of tape on the inside of that corner of the battery cover so that it can't move about when you squeeze on it. No more noise.

I'll have to try that out. I already put 4+ layers of black electrical tape on my keyboard to stop my phone from creaking and making a buzzing noise through the earpiece. I guess a little more tape on my phone won't hurt, thanks.

I have just got my blackstone and I would like to hear from other owners if this is ok
1- I feel that something is loose beneath the camera, when I put my phone on the table or when I tap on the camera from the back I hear as if something is cracking
2- This might be normal but when I tap on the display I feel that the outer cover of the display is a bit moving towards the display, as if there is a 1mm space between the display and the outer cover, this is most noticeable when pressing at the middle of the display
Thanks
I have noticed both of those things ever since I got my HD a month ago. I think it is normal. I even read a tip in the wiki list of tips that deals with the squeaky back cover. See tip Nr. 37 there.
On my device I do not notice anything like you mentioned.

I find:
1. The back cover is loose and makes that "cracking" noise
2. There is zero movement of the screen in relation to the unit. Try taking the back cover off and using the screen.

Really? I notice it on mine but only when I use the stylus and tap right in the center of the screen. It is not much at all, but if feel as though the clear plastic on the screen sinks half a millimeter and eventually touches bottom.
I don't see how taking the back cover off would affect using the screen at all.
Thanks for your replies, my back cover is really fine, I remember trying one in the shop that had the back cover problem but the unit I ordered is not suffering from this. The noise I hear is really coming from the inside and is somewhere under the camera.
Regarding the display, this is not a problem I know but when tapping on the display I just don't feel it is solid but that plastic cover moves downwards. Exactly as Chris is describing above
Doesn't the screen have to go down? Its a resistive touch, so there has to be SOME movement right?
i would recommend going back to the store and ask the sales person to check it
this does not sound alright and mine does not make the sound you described
check "settings" -> "sounds & notification" and disable "screen tabs"" this is a kinda cracking sound too when you touch the screen, and the speaker is on the backside
Hi,
whenever my hd2 uses the vibrate feature, it only gives off a weak vibration, together with a more high pitched sound than usual. Is this a known problem?
thanks
its happening to me :S
look carefully at the camera flash cover...most likely, this cover has been depressed into the body of the phone.
i had this same problem about a month ago. so i carefully saw the (widely available) dis-assembly video. you only need to go through about 10% of the dis-assembly steps...essentially, just remove the back cover and re-seat the camera flash cover.
once you remove the back cover, you will notice that the vibrator motor lies just beneath the camera flash cover...that is why you hear that funny "new" vibration noise.
one final note...if you decide to fix the problem yourself, be sure to use a PLASTIC prying tool. i didn't and i got some scratches and nicks on the bezel area
My streak has started making a very noticible "click" noise when i press on the case, bottom left near the microphone hole, Just to the left of the home button. Now i havent taken my phone apart, but it sounds like however the piece just under the screen is attached, its somehow coming apart ever so slightly...visually it looks perfect still....doesent appear that the plastic piece is gonna come off anytime soon....its just an annoying click that makes it feel crappy. Anyone else experience this?
Maybe the hamsters wheel is coming loose and knocking on the casing, you did know it was hamster powered??
Sorry I can't be more helpful, no clicks or wobbles on my case so far and fingers crossed.
I purchased the wireless charging cover for my Droid 4, and two LG wireless charging pads for work/home. I can't stand the beep it makes when it begins charging.
I opened up one of the pads, hoping there was an obvious speaker with some wire leads I could cut, but it's not obvious to me what makes the beep. I've attached a picture of the board if anyone has any input. I'll update this if I figure something out.
Here's a guy that pulled a speaker off the PCB with pliers, but didn't describe which component.
The speaker is actually the large box at bottom-right. I ran a knife around the edges and pulled at it with some pliers, and the top of it came off like a cover, with some piece inside. The beep is no longer emitted without this piece.
at first i couldnt figure out how to remove the back but found the screws under the four rubber nubs.
I followed the directions on the amazon link posted and pulled the entire black box off from the circuit board!
I put the thing back together and it now charges silently. I really dont see how this thing ever left the design room after the prototype was made with that terrible beep sounds
Component PZ1 (Bottom Right on that picture) is the buzzer. The other black thing with glue around it (Reference L1 on the silkscreen) is an inductor, which is very likely to be part of the charging circuit or voltage regulation circuit, removing it would end in tears, as was the case with one of the guys on that Amazon page.
Also, I strongly recommend against yanking parts off PCBs with pliers. Depending on how strongly it's held on you could crack the circuit board or damage neighboring components. You really want to clean away that adhesive, being careful not to cut the PCB, and then use proper desoldering equipment (soldering iron and solder wick, hot air gun, etc.) to remove the speaker.
What's the best way to get the back cover off? I can't seem to rip the rubber nubs out.
Ok I got the back cover off, but I'm having a hard time taking off the screws that hold the circuit board to the back.

Ok, I finally got sick of hearing that annoying beep. So I searched it and found this post. Did the deed and fixed it. Thanks for all the help.
Now, I would also like to find the notification sound that comes on when I place my phone on the pad.
If I turn my phone sound "off" it doesn't make the sound (obviously). But I have gone through all the settings to try to find where I can switch it off permanently.
Unfortunately I can't find it. I thought it would have been under Settings/accessory/Dock Sound but that was not it. Does anyone know how to turn off this notification???
Alright, I didn't make this fix, but I don't remember who did, but it was someone in a youtube comment. Before attempting this, are you sure your charger isn't just dirty? If it is dirty, it's preventing the rubber o-ring from getting a good seal. Take a piece of tape that won't leave a residue, and take off as much dirt as you can. If it still slips, try this fix. Okay, so the fix goes like this:
1. Turn your charging orb upside down. There should be a rubber ring on the bottom that prevents the orb from slipping, and it puts it at an angle. Remove it, but don't throw it out, and try to keep the adhesive intact.
2. There should be two small black tabs on the rubber ring. Cut these off with an exacto knife or a similar tool.
3. Turn the ring 180 degrees from where it was before, and carefully apply the ring, making sure there are no bends or bubbles in the ring.. This way the thicker end should be facing the front, makes the angle a bit less obtuse.
4. Give your nexus 4 a good wipe, so there's no dirt on that, and put it on your charger. It shouldn't slip anymore! I hope that this helped you. It did for me!
