ear speaker area sounds like smth is loose ? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I "clap" against the ear-speaker part (so the upper part of the phone) it sounds like smth is loose inside. The lower part of the phone sounds completely normal. I also hear it when I put the phone on the table...
Is this a general problem or am I the only one ?
@edit: I am not talking about the "Buzz" of the earpiece when u hold it to your ear. I really mean some kind of "lose part sound" when u shake the phone.

Normal

The camera lens makes a rattling noise when the phone is shaken.
It's normal and not a problem.

loose parts

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.

Something loose ?

Hey, when you shake your phone do you hear something loose ? Like something plastic? The sound it makes when you open bar code scanner. Is it the camera ?

thats the autofocus on the camera.
thanks -
i was wondering the same thing when opening bar code scanner lol. thanks for clearing that up.
You may also be listening to the accelerometers. These usually make a small amount of noise.
This noise can also be heard on HTC Touch Diamond 2 and HTC Hero. I have been told in the past it is the focusing mechanism in the camera lens and it certainly sounds as if it is coming from the area of the camera. I have never known it to cause a problem.
except that it is close to the earpiece speaker and the external speaker, I think something is vibrating during calls causing some distortion.

accelerometers dont make any noise that can be heard through the case of the phone.

The Speaker

Is it me , or does the speaker on this phone suck really bad? music is not to bad, but any time i call any where and am put on hold, the speaker rattles and sounds blurry? even when I turn the volume down to near zero it sounds like its blurring still.
This is when I am in speak mode, not up to ear mode.
Any one else notice this? or have this problem? or is it just a defect on mine?
Thank you

The speaker phone works great for me. It could be a bad speaker. Some post have showed people needing a new phone cus the speaker sounded blown out?!

Help identifying the little hole next to sim card tray

Hey,
I was swapping out my sim card and not paying attention - I accidentally pressed my sim opener into the other little hole that is near the sim card opening hole.
As it didnt open and I wasnt looking I naturally pressed harder, then i looked and realized I am pressing in the wrong hole!
Bit worried I might have damaged something, I hope this hole is not for mic or anything, I have googled but I cannot find out what this hole is for.
The hole in question is the one to the right of the sim card tray, there is only one other hole on the top of the bezel and this is the one I pushed into
Mic hole

Thanks, is this the mic that is only used when the loudspeaker is, as I presume the mic when using the phone normally is at the bottom of the phone

Yes but when I activate speaker in-call, only top mic reives my voice. That means not for only cancellation. Hope hasnt damaged it..

Skyhigh too, if you have seconday device near you or someone's, call and check if you wonder, never mind..
I tested the top mic.
The scenario is when a call is active:
- when normal speaker is on the top mic does nothing and the bottom mic receives sound.
- when loudspeaker is on the top mic picks up sound and the bottom mic turns off
Try is, make a call to another phone, play some music or something into the the top and bottom mic's, you will notice that the top mic only receives the sound when the galaxy has its loudspeaker on - also, when the loudspeaker is on the bottom mic doesnt receive any sound.
ps, luckily there is no damage to it.
I have 2 edge+ and I tried the one I pressed into by accident, then immediately after I tried the other one.
The sound on the other end of the phone is the same. Means the little mic at the top is pretty strong, must have a mesh gauze or something protecting it?
Anyone have a pic of the internal part>

Yup, thats what I said. Glad to know its not damaged.
I realize this is an old thread. But I just did the same thing with my note 8. OP did you ever run into issues after you did this?
OMG. I just did the same thing. On an old note 5.
I did this on edge plus but thought that was IR sensor, googled but no info to find and finally here...I hope it is not damaged & even if, much relaxed to know it is secondary in a sense, and does not harm the functioning...

Is speaker on left side an issue?

As the title says, is speaker on left side an issue or is there any disadvantage in using the phone in landscape the other way around so the speaker doesn't get muffled?It would take time to get used to but is it not the same as using it with the speaker on the right functionality-wise?

There is only one speaker on the bottom to the left of the charge port, the holes to the right are nonfunctional and just for looks

Oh no, that's not what I meant, I guess that's what happens when I try to use less words. I was asking if having the speaker on the left side of the phone is a deal breaker because you muffle it when gaming, and if this can be solved by holding the phone with the speaker facing the left side so you don't muffle it. Are there any quirks to holding it with the speaker to the left?

Ok, sorry about the misunderstanding. Usually I just rotate the phone too the speaker is to the left or use headphones. I really haven't run into too many issues that way.
I have issues with it....if i dont have the OP6T stereo speaker magisk mod installed. i use the "extreme" version. yes, it requires magisk, but it makes it harder for me to muffle *as bad*. even using the "extreme" vol boost version of the mod the earpiece speaker is still considerably quieter than the main bottom left speaker. but its far more tolerable.
