There is no problem to take xrays while the phone is tuned on.

But I don't see little green robots.

What you see in the first picture is:
the back camera in the middle of the picture
the front camera in the upper part of the picture (left)
the jack plug in the right-upper part
In the second picture you can see the metallic Samsung Logo from the back of the case, the speaker on the right upper side and the USB plug.

Diagnostic result shows that the android species is suffering cancer caused by radiation and with the possibility of changes in the genetic mutation.

the first ever android dr lol...dont u have any patients to deal with???
what's the cost of ma gs2's MRI?...lol...(just kidding...)

will u tell us that how to this please

Try bombarding your phone with X-Rays, maybe it'll grow a third core!

This is really cool.
I would love to have more like those as wallpapers for my monitors.

Actually, top left, first image is the earpiece speaker, not the front camera, that is waaaay off to the left.
Nice job though, nice to see xrays of this thing.

That's what i thought too... OP, deliver Highres!

Are you able to provide the full picture of the phone rather than just a small part of it?

Did you cover its genitalia so it can still have little Android babies with our devices?
Seriously nice pictures!

Where's OP.. i mean, he can't be that busy if he has time to xray his phone.

Whats the name of this x-ray app?

Tinkering sound when you shake it

I requested an RMA because of the buzzing noise near the earpiece and the sound of something loose when you shake the phone, but the RMA came with the same problems. Is this happening with everyone's phone? It's a bit unnerving..

My phone has both a slight buzzing and the shaking sound. The buzzing is so quiet I have to be smashing the phone against my ear to heart it. The shaking I believe one of the components of the camera. I believe the majority of the people here have the shaking "problem".

Thanks for the reply. Good to know.

I think it's the accelerometer that do this noise, my N4 do the same noise as well.

My sound is perfect. I do have a little rattle if I smack it gently with the palm of my hand. I don't do that much. No worries about it though for me.

I have a slight buzz if I hold it up to my ear, but never notice it otherwise. I think it rattles a bit also. Oh well, love it.

The rattle is the auto focus. it is not a defect

Treat your Nexus like a baby. Don't shake it.

I have earpiece sound as well as the sound of the camera-focus when I shake it. But I'm not going to RMA this as long as it does not harm my phone.

this is normal in all do not worry nexus

I'm pretty sure the shaking sound is actually the ejection mechanism for the SIM card. There was a post about it here somewhere.

No, that's actually the first thing I checked. The sound comes from the camera. At least in my case, maybe some people have different. Whatever, I'm gonna use for a few days and see if that bothers me.

Its the camera every phone I have does this.

This is true, my iPhone 5 and LG Optimus G both rattled the same way as my nexus 4.

Not trying to sound mean, but use the search feature next time. There are already mulitple posts and I think 2 threads about this exact problem. Just a hint for future problems. Chances are, whatever problem you have has already been discussed.

Why do u shake ur phone ?

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 'Vibrates' When Tapped?

Hey fellow enthusiasts, I just realised that whenever I tapped on my phone, for example when I tap on the back of my phone, it kinda vibrates. anyone facing this issue?

There is a haptic feed back when you press softkeys. you might be pushing them.
Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005

When you mean vibration. Do you mean in your pocket? If you get the vibration/boom feeling then that the vibrating motor. Hope this helps.

hey guys, its not the haptic feedback. its like it somehow 'vibrates' when I tapped it on the back of my phone.

It hasn't occured to you that it might be something to do with this at all?

it doesn't really vibrate but it kinda feels like its moving when tapped with your nails.

Yeah I have the same feeling, like its on "haptic Vibro" but thats not enabled, yet still feels like a slighter Vibrate when hitting some keys?

I think I know what he means...
Its not a feedback from the vibrator at all -- I sometimes tap on my Note when I'm listening to music, like I'm playing a drum solo with my fingers
There is a faint vibration when I do that.
I always assumed it was just one of the sensors vibrating in response to my enthusiastic taps. Who knows, the shock sensor, the vibrator itself?
Anyway, I don't think its anything wrong or broken.

I don't think there is a problem... it happened with my note 2, but always worked well and flawlessly

I get it occasionally and gave up with it.

I saw a thread on here that might help. It basically said that the camera module "vibrates" slightly when tapped. It's normal, apparently.

The back of phone not the back button right I had this before but it was only happen for few days when I touch the phone it will vibrate so weird but I restore to factor and all problem gone

I get this when I pick up my phone.but I think it's reminder for unread texted messages.
At least four me that's the only time it buzzed.

Hi!
A lady friend of mine has this problem on a GSIII.
She broke her screen and since i had a GSIII with dead mainboard i moved her mainboard to the other phone. Main camera & all.
The phone now works perfectly but has accuired the "vibrate when tapping" issue.
Personally i´d say that the vibrating camera module is a solid bet. Production tolerances might be a little on the loose side in the new camera/screenframe combo and there is a short unsupported flex cable from main board to camera module.
If i understand this particular issue correctly you dropped your phone a while back. This just might have knocked the camera module a bit around so it now sits a smidgeon more loosely in the camera bay.
If it really bothers you, a solution could be to disassemble your phone and try thightening the tolerances in the camera mount by adding small pieces of e.g. sticky tape on sides or bottom. If nothing else you´d be able to confirm or discard the camera module as the "culprit".
Personally though i wouldn´t worry about it, as long as everything hums along nicely with this particular handset.
Regards
Elo

hello! thanks for your long reply, this happened before I dropped my device, so I reckon it isn't because of the drop! it works flawlessly, but do you think I should take it over to Samsung? or is it not an issue?

About the drop - oh yeah, you stated that earlier, my bad.
I´d leave it alone.
If the phone is still under warranty you could try taking it to a service center but then you´ll have to demonstrate there is an issue.
As everything works as it should that might be easier said than done.

I hear something loose inside the phone? Anyone else?

So I've just put the phone down on my desk(I use a giant 4ftx2ft desktop mouse pad) and heard an odd sound. I didn't just throw the phone on the desk but probably dropped it onto the desk from an inch away. Anyway, upon further investigation, it sounds like there' something loose inside the phone, possibly in the upper half near the camera. I took my phone and shook it up and down near my ear. Wondering if this is normal and does anyone else hear the same thing?

Could be the camera. OIS means there's actually moving parts in the mechanism. Typically if you shake phones with OIS you here a slight ticking.

That's true. But, it just bugs me a bit because I didn't hear anything like this on my old Note 7. Or any other phone.

Ok, I just shook my phone and I can hear the rattling too. My OCD senses are now tingling!
I'm not going to worry about it too much though. I haven't dropped my phone or anything, and it's working fine. I'm sure there will be times though when I've forgotten about it, then suddenly hear it if I shake my phone. Will probably be surprised, but will then remember what it is. Lol

I shake my phone and i hear nothing. . Hmmm, you guys could try by opening it and see whether you can find the issue. It is very easy to open it and close it again. And i doubt any carrier will notice it. or... If you guys are in the 14 days period to return the phone (if tmobile, im not sure about other carriers) then you might replace it

Oh yeah, for sure! I mean, a rattling noise normally means that something is broken! LG should probably have put a notice on the manual or something mentioning this. You know, for all of us who care for our phones.

If it is the ois it will stop if you have the camera app open. Mine also has the rattle but I believe it is likely the vibration feedback motor or weight causing it. I had two lg v10 loaner phones. One made noise one didn't.

I can confirm that it is the camera module. I opened up my device and poked around inside. The camera module furthest from the led flash floats.

Did my daughter compromise my LG G6s waterproofing?

Hello everyone. This may sound extremely silly, but let me start at the begining. I bought a brand new LG G6 for myself, as for an upgrade over my old Huawei P8. I inserted my nano sim, turned the phone on, did the whole fresh start thing, and had to leave for a couple of seconds to get something from the other room. As i got back, i noticed that my daughter (4yo) got to the phone and started pinching the top microphone whole with the sim needle. I dont know if she did any damage. I checked the mics by recording, covering each one and whispering very delicately into each of them, and they both work fine. But, what about the waterproofing? Has she, possibly, done any damage? If i try to put the needle in there, It does go in almost all the way before stopping on something ( im not pushing it, just letting it go in freely ). on the bottom mic, it stops freely somewhere right before the middle. I appreciate all the help. Thanks if advance plus I apologize for my bad english. Cheers from Poland.

Don't worry mine's the same. Almost all the way in on the upper by own force if letting it go and only halfway on the bottom one.

THANKS MATE! Im so relieved. Can you also shake your by the ear to see if there is any sort of sound coming from the inside? I got this delicate vibration when rapidly shaking it. Thought its cause of my daughter tinkering with the thang lol!

Yes I can hear it too. Probably the autofocus parts of the camera as they almost always are a tad lose.
