Probably the camera. That's what rattled on my old N1 anyway. I don't hear any rattle on my G2, though.

None at all. It might be the screen rattling, because the hinge is weaken?
Just a guess

Is is on the counter when it vibrates? It could be the metal battery cover on the hard surface.

On mine, it seems like the noise the vibrator makes is more noticeable than the actual vibration. It's very annoying and I disabled vibration everywhere I could. Interesting to know that not everybody has this problem.

mine used to not rattle but i noticed it one day it only rattle when the the fones not slide open

Thanks for the replies!
Mine is definitely making a rattle noise like the spinner inside is loose.
I've tried it with the screen open also with same result. My iPhone did this also.
God I hate taking phones back.
How is everyone's signal on the G2? I read once that the radio isn't the best. I seem to only get edge in my house and I'm surrounded by great service area. Att always gave me 3g inside.

Mine does the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one, I thought I was losing my mind.

[Q] htc logo on back of phone

Hi all, the "h" from the htc logo on the back of my legend has come off. A trivial thing but annoying, it's now just an "h" shaped dent with a couple of glue holes. The metal "h" is now somewhere in Greater London
The phone's still under warranty but wondering if this was a common issue?

I have seen it before but not sure how common, try sending it back!

Well somebody already mentioned this problem. But his was the 'C'. Its not that common but it does happen.

I make up the trio - I've lost the 't' from the back of mine. It hasn't been through any major falls or anything so it's probably something they'd fix under warranty.
I've noticed mine sounds like there's something moving if I give it a fairly hard tap where the rubber around the camera is; I don't know if that's how it's always been though.

Crazy, I looked at mine after reading your post and I'm missing the h now as well. Wonder how long ago it fell off...

Yes! I've noticed that too since day one. The hell is it?

YEah I have that too; I think it's the AF lens?

It's the autofocus. Same "klick" as when it is focusing on cam app mode.

[Q] White Mytouch 4g

does it stain easily? and how good is the gps and WiFi?
the reason why im asking about the gps and wifi is because my G2's Gps is broken(i broke it) and my WiFi is utter crap because of no known reason(my router is in my room and i only get 1-2 bars)
p.s. i got the my touch from the valentines special my dad changed our plan to a 2yr agreement and got 4 free my touches

have you tried custom roms on the G2? that could be a issue. it doesnt stain super easy but yea better to get a cover for it and the GPS is accurate i use it for when i drive and navigation and i dont really use the Wifi just cause the HSDPA+ speed is faster than what i have.

yea ive rooted my G2 and basically the entire crap was defective Weak Wifi Signal No Gps antenna and when you slided the phone there was a big gap between the phone and the keyboard like you could look through it you could see the ribbon cable and through the other side and when you touched the screen with the keyboard opened it made this horrendous creaking noise
i hope HTC did a good job with this bad boy i cant wait to get it even i dont like the color white but whatever

Honestly if your going to out a case on it your not going to see the color of the phone anyways so doesn't really matter in the long run.

That "big gap" is totally normal. It's called the "z-hinge."

Am I trippin?

Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box

WoW! So many in 30 days, what do they say when you take it in? I have one thats under the 30 and has one stuck pixel, I had decided to just keep it (0003) but if its really that easy, why now, lol. Do you get a fresh set of 30 days when you get the new one???

No my 30 days is up the 25th

I just dont see how you could possibly get 4 bad phones.

I got mine on the first day it was released and the only thing I see is are to spots I think from dabbing my finger on the screen lol
But I think I can live with it

I've had all three hardware revisions and I've noticed the same things so it's not just you.

When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.

I got mine from Radio Shack in December, and I've had no issues so far with the screen. Good luck!

I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol
Good Luck

Lol I set my phone up multiple times per week.
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

That is the problem with the Evo I'm on my fourth since September and I finally got one with no screen separation but it makes so many like cracking noises when you put some pressure on it.
Htc needs to step it up
Sent from my CM7 EVO

I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.
I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.

Heat & gap concerns

Hi
I got my HTC one just under a week ago on three and I'm in love with it. But there are some things I'm worried about. One thing is that when I play games or plug the phone in charge the cool aluminum back becomes rather uncomfortably hot and makes me have to switch hands, it doesn't burn but it does irritate...
Secondly I've seen some posts about gaps at the top and I have those but I was wondering if anyone else has a very fine bulge of the plastic above where the usb port is? I don't know if this is a fault of my phone or it is a general thing so I don't know whether to ask for an exchange or not... If anyone wants pictures of the gap just say!

I know it's only slight but it bothers me when i catch it in the corner of my eye

i dont see anything

The tiny white bit in the right side, look across the phone and you'll see it better because you can't see the white bit anywhere else... I do have really sharp eyes though so If you can't see it I'm sorry

I can see it, i have excactly the same on my One, im just living with it though as everything else is soo perfect!
The only thing im worried about, is were that is, were the charger plugs in, the 2 little 'Catches' on the charger that hold it in rub on the white bit, in other words the hole seems to small, only slightly, i may contact HTC about this as im a little worried it will cause future problems like a Broken Charger or Charge Point etc. . .

Yeah that's exactly what I was worried about with the charger thing, if you do contact HTC let me know how it goes

Will do. . .

i still cant see it. somebody mind circling it out in an edited photo?

Here.:cyclops:

ahhh thanks. i suppose that is the overhang issue. the speaker grille is badly glued.
htc is supposedly working on a solution right now, and it will be resolved in april batches. i think

I don't think it is because I can't push it in at all so I'm guessing the size of something in that area is wrong :/

So do you guys think they carrier will swap it for me or am I just being really uptight?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Mine gets very hot too, I'm guessing that is a metal thing though, the gaps don't bother me or any slight overhang.
For me the issues are...
Blinkfeed
Heat
slow charging
home button is so hard to hit because it's small and in the corner
no battery percentage
no file search on the phone

Try a launcher or put blink feed to the side and disable all sources? The file search apps on the market do me fine but normally they put something on the battery so there is less heat transfer to one spot I n the metal but I don't think they've done that in the first batch :/ and mine charges pretty fine as well

I too have the overhang on the charging port. I have had two handsets (first one replaced due to gaps at top which moved when pressed) and its been on them both.
Second one has a slight dent/scratch in the white band, so ill wait another week (still in 28 days) and try and get another swap out. I do love the phone, battery life is immense, I'm getting about 2.5 days out of it at mo.

I have owned so many HTC phones it boggles the mind. In that time I have had to have 3 go in for repair. On stopped charging (one S) another had the wifi GPS glitch (one X international) and one just plain died one day to never turn on again (ATT one x+). All of these were taken care of by HTC. Can't say without issue, the international one X they scratched the case and took a little while to get a new one but in the end all my issues were taken care of. I would really say wait until HTC has resolved these issues and then they will take care of you 100%. You will need to be able to send the phone in for repair but they are fairly quick about 10 days total turn around time. They also didn't have any issue at all repairing a international phone at the USA HTC repair center something that is not true with Samsung.

Are you in the UK or America? Cus if you're in the UK I think I can get an exchange as well
