There was a thread here for the same "isue"
it's one of the buttons...
Rattling
No it not one of the buttons im sure about this this rattling is inside the cell phone.
it's the lens
Hi,
that noise you hear is the lens in a certain focus position.
I found, that in a certain position the lens it moves and makes noise.
After using a program called QuickMark, my lens keeps moving and to fix it I've to open the camera and press the camera button till it moves the lens for changing the focus.
After that, no more noise.
There are actually two different sources for the rattling noise.
If you shake you your phone up/down in it's horizontal position you will hear the lens. If you shake it up/down in it's vertical position, you will hear the supporting wheels for the sliding mechanism.
I dont think its the support wheels for the sliding mechanism, i beleive its the touch D pad that makes the rattling noise
Try holding the touch D pad and shaking it - the rattling noise will be significantly lower (considering the camera rattling)

I thought that too at first, but by holding the touch pad you also give the screen part of the phone a press enough to letting the wheels rest on the keyboard part, thus lowering the noise. When not pressing the two parts together, the wheels have no contact to the keyboard part, which give them free movement to rattle.
really?, I'm pretty sure its the Dpad, try wedging like a bit of paper between the touchpad and Dpad keys [thick enough to stop the touchpad from moving] then try shaking - rattling solved for me . . .

Nah, not for me.
Conclusion: we have three rattling noises depending on the individual phone. Mine is the supporting wheels and the camera lens, not the touchpad. Yours the opposite.
Glad I'm not having all three of them. On the other hand, it really doesn't bother me, just curious where the noise originates from.
i just notice that mine was doing the same thing 2day. actually i just heard it.
for it its the wheel. cuz at first i dunno wat it is. but then i got a pin and held the wheel down and then shook it again but then no rattle occur.
is this normal?????
i kinda want to get it fix since it did cost alot. and i only had this phone for like 20 days...
it is the sliding mechanism, try pressing the 2 parts of your x together (closing the gap between the screen and the KB) then shake it again, you will find it's gone.

well by pressing down on it it does stop for the time that im holding it down.
but is there a way to fully solve this loose wheel on the sliding mechanism?
i don't think so,
soon you will forget it's there, don't worry
lols yea...i hope so...i just spend soo much on it...i dun want it to just "fall apart" lols
but thanks for the info
It's the camerabutton. Touch it..it's a little loose.
Lol
Who actually shook their phone hard enough to hear this? I just shook mine and I can hear what is said to be te lens but is quite possibly the d-pad, and what is certainly the tiny rattle of the little slider wheels.
Barely noticable, especially since I don't go around shaking my Xperia.
Anyone else notice that when typing, especially on the left side it makes creaking sounds? I thought the screws might be loose, I tightened them all but it still does it. I guess it's the battery cover.
Gives it a little bit of a cheap flimsiness. Would like to correct it.

I have the same problem..
The battery cover is to soft. I will try to fill it up with something.
I'm on my third MT4G because of squeaky/noisy buttons. The biggest reason why this happens is this:
1) the buttons are cheap plastic
2) the sides of the button rub on the phone's bezel, thus creating the squeaking sounds
3) the home/back buttons are in fact one solid piece (stupid design)
I'm thinking about putting some type of lubricant in my phone (per a suggestion over in the T-Mobile forums), as I highly doubt T-Mobile would provide a fourth phone to me. This squeaking sound really is annoying, and should not be present on such a high-end phone such as this one.
Has anyone taken their phone apart in an attempt of making the creaking sounds go away? Has anyone applied lubricant to the buttons to stop the squeaking?
lubricant?
you could try some sort of graphite lubricant... it's not really a liquid, just a powder and shouldn't propagate through the phone. i think "dri-slide" still makes it
The whole bottom of my phone squicks and creaks but I don't think I want to put any lubricant in my phone. I'll just wait a little and exchange it if anything. Doesn't bother me as much as I thought I would when I found out about it.
How bad its it? My vibrate feature is starting to maker noise
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I sprayed a little bit of CRC Power Lube onto the left button on my MT4G since it was making an annoying noise when pressed. Works perfect and it's plastic safe, no stains!
Mine screams like a banshee now.
This is probably the only real design flaw with this phone.
Still better than non-responsive capacitative touch buttons, but def annoying.
I also forgot to mention how loud my home button makes this clicking sound when I press it (along with the squeaking sound). It really is f'n annoying. Could any of these lubricants help simmer that down a bit? If I had known these buttons would end up being so damn loud, I would have second-guessed buying it.
Can any others confirm if this occurs on your device. With the keyboard out if I press the bottom right corner to the keyboard portion I hear a distinct sound like its loose or something..
Mine creaks when I push that area, I'm not to worried about it any slider phone I've had has done something like that when the keyboard is out.
Yes that's exactly the sound I was referring too. Creaks... Any others confirm? As long as others are experiencing this I won't worry too much...
like rsacipher said, just about every slider I've seen creaks a little bit. if that's all it is i wouldn't worry about it. however if the sliding screen feels loose or if there's a gap between it and the main body then i'd definitely have it replaced.
Hello everyone
I have been using my nexus for a while and started to realise that when i press the screen against its back case near the earplug (middle top), I hear some cracking sound. Does anyone having that as well?
Thank you.
Occasionally you'll find one with creaking edges. Sometimes where you said, sometimes left corner, sometimes side, etc. etc. There are units which don't creak at all, but may not be worth it to try to get one if everything else is working ok.
