I got my nexus 4 yesterday and I noticed it rattles when I tap lightly above the nexus on the back. Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

Thanks I'll be deleting this I guess lol
Do indeed search.
I believe it's the camera module and/or the auto-focus part inside it that rattles a bit.
Mine does it too if you tap it. Nothing to worry about, plenty of phones do this. The Nexus 4 is just rather loud at it. Perhaps a plastic or rubberized back dampens it while the glass of our phones doesn't.

Try this. Open up your nexus 7. Lightly press on the messed up speaker. If it is the same issue I have you'll hear the speaker pop back in.

I think you're asking how to take apart the nexus 7? The easiest way to find out how would be to look for a YouTube video on opening the nexus 7. There are many.
How i did it... Slide your fingernail or an opening tool along the crease. The snaps holding the back in place should click apart. Slowly and carefully move your fingernail or tool around the entire device until the cover comes off. Be very careful not to break any of the clips on the lid or in the device.

Thanks for this tip! My nexus 7 sounds MUCH better ...
Hey XDA,
i bought my Nexus a few weeks ago, but now i found something strange, if i press at the back glass directly under the camera (where the glass begins) its klicking (dont know how to say it) maybe its like the phones with plastic , some make the dame sound if you press at the back. Do u have this too ? Should i send my N4 back ?
best regards
(I hope u understand what i mean but im german and only 14)

I wouldn't worry about it, but that's just me.
So just don't press the back glass. I swear people are so OCD
I'm sure Google will deny such a repair request.

Why would you press against it in the first place? Leave the phone alone and enjoy it.

Once you figure it's there, it's hard to ignore it.

You're right. I just remember the creaking near the USB connector when I press on it.

Are you sure it's not the auto focus clicking that some have been talking about?
As for me I don't hear any sounds when I press the back of my N4 near the camera lens...

Yup, if I press on the back in the lower-left quadrant of the phone (as you look at it from the back), the glass deforms a tiny bit (you can see if in the reflection) and the phone makes a "click" or "snap" sound.
If I look at the black bezel on the side near where I press, I can see it move a tiny bit, like it's snapping out of place slightly.
Who cares. Put a CruzerLite case on it and all is well.
Hi.
I've got a weird thing with my phone (i9505). when i tap the screen at the top, or even next to the speaker, it sound like something is loose. Screen works just fine, touch also.
Does anyone else have this?
Could be manufacturing defect.
Should i return it and ask for a replacement?

Nope. Definitely isn't normal. Doesn't happen with mine.
Well. Since you guys dont have the problem i guess i'm going to ask for a replacement. Thank you all for the answers

I'm not sure if it's what you describe but I noticed that when tapped a bit "harder" or put to the table with a little force, there is a slight vibration which feels like something is mounted on "rubber"...not sure how to describe...it's more like a part has a buffer which prevents it from being damaged. It really might be the camera lens or some other part swinging and I don't think something is broken.
My S3 also hadn't that kind of feedback when tapped. However it doesn't make any noise so I'm not sure if it's what you mean...but also it might be that same part just being broken in your phone if it's rattling.
Probably just the vibration motor. If you hold the back to your ear and tap the front, it sounds hollow (or like a drum).

Try tapping the same area on a display s4 and see if you hear the same thing. A real display too not a dumby phone.
My htc Dna did this and it was the lens. Verizon brought out a brand new dna and it did the same thing.... Lol good luck

Virtually every device forum on here as the same thread.
Its part of the camera lens that moves internally is the answer on every thread.
Noticed the lens rattle too. Sounds unnormal, but I went to the Shop and the Galaxy S4 there had the same "issue" while tapping on the upper Display Area.

I just went to the ATT store for the same reason. There is a plastic cover over the camera lens. Peel it off, the noise goes away..
There is no issues never has been, never will be. Its the autofocus in the camera.
That's why I set issue in quotes It's a constant sound while using the S4 and tapping the top of phone. On my S4 sadly loud, but according to the store no reason for a warranty exchange.

Anyone else hear a rattle near the earpiece if you shake the phone or tap it on the top corners? I also noticed my vibration doesn't feel as strong this afternoon, wonder if maybe my vibro motor is lose or something.
Didn't notice until i read your .
Its the same with mine. No problems with the vibrations.

Thanks. My friend with a G2 also hears it. I think it might actually be the camera stabilization, the sensor is suppose to kinda move around in there.
And I guess my vibro is fine, just my haptic feedback strength feels like a lot less tonight. Or maybe I'm crazy.
Yup, I believe that's just the optical image stabilizer moving about.
Guys had my phone for about a week.
Im not too sure if this has been happening since i got it or not..
But if i gently shake my device it feels like something is loose around the camera module or in the camera
Can anyone confirm if this is a known thing?

That's normal. The rattle you hear is the auto focus mechanism moving. My S5 does that too as do several others.
