Hey there,
My HD makes a resonating / ratling noise when I tap my finger on the camera area at the bakside.
Is someone else experiencing this too?
I tried twisting it a bit, pressing between fingers but it still resonates.
Is this perhaps the G-sensor / accelometer?
I've also noticed that, even with the stylus removed, if you hold the HD in one hand and tap it against you other hand, you can hear something move.
Now that you mention it, I guess it must be the G-sensor!
So.... is it?!
A small rattling is probably the G-sensor, my K850 makes a small noise due to it too.
It's the G Sensor. Give it a shake and you'll hear it carry on for a few seconds with your ear near the phone.
G-sensor? Not likely
I do not think so. G-sensors are solid-state devices: no moving pieces inside.

Well accelerometer then, it's definately one of the two.
Well, the sensors do have moving parts - but I was fairly sure that those are of microscopic proportions (micromachined silicon).
I would be surprised if it was that.
Perhaps there's a hidden tray inside with a ball-bearing, necessary to run "teeter"
Today the messenger from Vodafone at my house to exchange the HD.
Guess what... the new one made the same noise.
A light resonating noise at the camera area at the back.
The messenger took the new one with him and left me my old one.
Vodafone will get in touch with me he said.
Anybody else experiencing this noise here?
Rattling htc hd
Yes mine does this - I think its the camera.
Take an extreme close up and you will hear the same rattle/click noise as if something drops back in to place following the close up focus...
Rattling noise here too.

HA, i knew that game seemed too lifelike
It's the 3.5 mm socket for your headphones jack, was bugging me for a while and got to the bottom of it. Insert your earphones/headphones jack, noise goes away..
I think you will find that it will be the lens in the camera. As I am sure you know this is an auto focus camera and of course that will need a moving lense body. G-Sensors and accelerometers are the same thing and indeed solid state, or pretty much anyway. It is not the headphone jack and I must say...if the noise bothers you... just don't tap the camera! Simple!
Please FOR THE SAKE OF GOD does your device also make rattling noise when you tape on the camera cover ?? Please we need to know because this issue is getting annoying !!! Its been a month with HD and now I hear a rattling noise whenever i tap on the upper part of the backcover near the camera. I tried with another HD and IT DOES THE SAME THING
I emailed HTC a week ago about the problem and they responded by saying "The rattling sound shouldn't be any problem" which makes it sound like they know the Touch HD makes the rattling noise
Please could you share your experience here ?! I need to know if I have the right to return it back and ask for replacement. My BlueAngel was as solid as rock
The rattling can be annoying, but I find it's only really noticeable when the phone vibrates.

So you can also hear the rattling when u slap the backcover near the camera ? Is it a fault with the design ? Maybe the camera lens ? I can hear a similar sound when i take shots with the cam ( autofocus maybe ).

I do also hear it when I take shots when the camera starts auto focusing and when lightly tapping the back cover near the camera.
My older Diamond had the same problem.
Just the crap cameras HTC uses.

How pathetic, paying more than 1049$ for this machine and what a crappy built quality... screen bends when taping on it... backcover and usb cracking noise ( also near the volume buttons ) and now that freaking rattling noise.Absolutely crap.....
It must the mechanicals used for moving the lens during focusing.
Today I went to HTC dealer store nearby... I asked for a new device out of the box. Surprisingly, the new device also makes that rattling noise. I tend to believe it was meant to be done that way. Who knows... maybe its an option
Hey guys. Finally said good bye to old champion Galaxy S2 and now on Nexus 4! Love the device. However, I'm in a situation where I need to decide if I should get a replacement or not.
- I do hear that buzz sound in earpiece (not loud though - sometimes its not there)
- Rattling sound -- it is related to lens I realize
Is it worth it to get replacement (given replaced device may be in the same boat lol). Lots of people are reporting these issues.
the buzz sound...I hope its not going to increase in future?
Rattling sound -- I don't really care about that. However, I do go to gym and run. Can it damage camera?
Let me know your thoughts
I hate restoring backups and configuring everything all over again. (including wasting the screen protector lol)

The rattling in the camera is normal. Auto shutter or some **** that moves. Its normal. The buzzing is not. Some have them some don't. If you can't ignore it replace it. You paid for a phone don't buzz so don't put up with it unless you don't feel its a big deal.

I bought my phone on launch day. I feel like my buzzing has become worse over time. And it gets worse the fewer bars I have (I recently traveled to a different state with worse coverage and the buzzing became annoying and would get worse right before it dropped a call). I'd consider RMAing it. However, even the new ones have the problem, as you can attest to. I'm probably going to RMA my phone at some point, I'm just lazy.

I got replacement device and it still has the same issue!! even worse than the original one. So disappointed I love nexus but can't keep up with this week after week replacement.
will be sending device back for refund. Ahh what other phone is next. Not sure lol wait for S4 or try Z10
The rattle you hear isn't the camera.
It's the little thing you have to press to eject the simcard.
If u eject the simcard you can put a little piece of paper or something like that behind it and it stops rattling
Do this at your own risk!

If the issues are actually affecting you then get a replacement, Google send you the replacement first before you actually send your defective unit in so you dont have to worry about being without a phone.
Why Samsung? Why? speaker on the back? I love the note 4 the only really negative thing I have to say is why the speaker on the back of the device and not on the bottom like my note 3 ? I'm already finding myself laying the phone face down on the beautiful screen to hear any type of music, potentially scratching the screen. Sorry just ranting
Poor you... I wish I had your problems. Nevermind that a cellphone speaker sounds like complete garbage no matter where it's positioned. Maybe you should return the Note 4 and get a boombox instead.

You can edit the mixer_paths.xml and boost you speaker if you are rooted. I know it isnt really fix for the speaker but since you cant physically move the speaker to a new position , its all you really got . For me personally it doesnt make a difference but Im not coming from the Note 3 , Im coming from the GS5 which has the same speaker position.
HTC is the only company that got it right.

Sorry im not a audiophile I guess like yourself, sounds doesn't sound that bad to me the speaker placement was a horrible choice should've just left it on the bottom like the note3 would of been way better than where its at now. Im wondering if they did that because of the finger print scanner.

and lets not forget the moto x and nexus 6
probably so we wont scratch that 20 inch camera on the back! I mean, why is it even poking out like that?!?!!??! its begging to be scratched, get broken if its continuously place on the back /rant
We will see those things on the note 5 lol

Not having stereo on the X was disappointing but then again not really a big deal on a device that's so small. We'll see how the 6 fairs
the note 4 isnt geared towards sound hence, why samsung doesnt waste R&D on speakers that most people rarely use. I rarely use my speakers on my notes. If im not bluetoothed or streaming, its on silent. lol
The speaker on the Note 4 is clearer and louder than that on the Note 3. Fact.

When at work, I lay my phone face up on a pack of sticky notes.

You won't scratch the screen from putting it screen down on a table. Gorilla glass is amazing man! I do agree that speakers on the rear suck though.

I have to agree there, I feel if i need to blast music they would be attach to some form of speaker lol. other wise, the sound is being stream through my bluetooth...or being stream to my tv lol
I hear there is a patent that stops them from putting it on the front.... Not 100% sure but I guess it's possible. I agree it's stupid being on the back but this Note 4 is a beast. I came from a Galaxy S5.
For me the speakers are perfect since I hold my phone with one hand and two i usually have a finger in the bottom holding the phone up and it used to cover the bottom speakers on my note 3, I sounds good and clear what do you expect surround sound.

Has any phone ever used the front speaker for calls and system/media audio? I would think it would be pretty obvious to move the back speaker to the front and control the volume with software depending on if your in a call or playing music or whatever.

The speaker is really the only thing left in the Note series that could really use some improvement. Everything gets incremental upgrades except for the speaker.
the speaker on the back is lame imo, but it does sound very good-so not sure how much I can really complain. It is very loud using speakerphone speaker and the ringtone/alarm. Certainly better than the Note 2/3 that I owned.
the HTC M* is still the best for media output for youtube or other video playback. I still wish HTC would have made a M8 5.97" phone.
The biggest problem with a rear speaker, is that when the phone is lying on it's back, the sound gets extremely muffled. This is especially true when using a case. Horrible, horrible design choice by Samsung.
Does anyone else's DT2 rattle? I've had mine about 5 days (purchased used but in as new condition) and yesterday I noticed it rattling around the top when shaking it to do the flashlight on motion. I have held the buttons, removed the SIM/SD tray to no avail. I'm pretty sure it did not do this the first couple of days. I have not dropped it or let it experience any shock. As expected, it doesn't rattle when stirred.
I've seen various posts about rattles in phones, other Motos and Samsungs and even HTCs but none about DT2. Everything is functioning normally that I can see. Does anyone else's do this?
I can confirm that mine rattles. Sounds like it is the ear speaker. My ear speaker sounds like crap at high volume too.
When I shake my phone the flashlight goes on. No rattle though.
Wow mine rattles. Never noticed it til I read this. Never been dropped. It's not loud, you have to listen carefully but it's there. Everything seems to work OK. Speakers sound good. Idk.
No rattles...and we have 3 turbo 2's since mid-November (before Thanksgiving)
I thought mine didn't have a rattle until I did it a certain way. To hear mine you have to hold phone up to your ear like you were talking on it. shake it (not too hard) in and out not side to side. It's definitely the ear piece.
I just got my Turbo 2 last week and I noticed it right off the bat. Everything is working fine though. It seems to be coming from the sim card/sd card slot on top. Prob just a bad design, a little play maybe where the cards sit in the tray is my guess.
Hughdawg
Rattle that phone
p.s.
Sorry for off topic.
I gotta update. Yes! It does rattle. When I put my ear right next to the ear speaker I can hear it. Besides my Motorola RAZR HD MAXX rattle as well. My good ole Droid X makes the sound as well. It is interesting. My guess it could be a gyroscope. It does not bother me at all! I bet all smartphones do it. 3 out of 3 of my Droid do rattle.
I've had 3 turbo 2's and they all rattled.
I definately can hear something moving inside.
Bought a new x force 1580 a week ago, and it rattles quite a lot in the upper part of the phone. Even when the camera is active, even the vibration is off.
Its a pity I have bought it in Finland, and I live in Russia, so it will take me 6 hours drive to try to replace it. Did anyone succeed in solving this some how? Did they fix or replace your phone with this issue?
I have noticed this on the phones that I have had. I first noticed on the Galaxy S5. Funny thing, I launched the camera and tried to make it rattle..... Rattle gone.
Yes, this is normal rattle from the camera lence. I've had it on my Oneplus one. But the rattle i have here is much stronger and it does not stop when i activate the camera
I am using Mi A1 for about half month and noticed cracking, rattling or clicking noise when I touch ( I wouldn't say press) back cover around fingerprint sensor and camera. Sounds like some adhesive coming lose or something.
Similar as being discussed here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-884436-1-1.html
Is someone else experiencing the same? Im not considering RMA right now since the phone is without issues and good as new (never felt or something, everything working)

Bought a Global version, 64 gb, black a couple of days a go and mine does that as well . It is getting on my nerves now. Going to return it back and have another one.
My phone have same sound/clicking noise too, but the phone is working properly without any issue, from January 15, when I bought it.
Most probably is from the camera lens, I'm not sure, just I'm guessing, so my advice is to ignore that sound and do not shake too hard the phone, use it normally like any other phone.
I can confirm that, noticed this 3 days after i bought this phone.
I must rate the build quality 2 out of 5.
Feel like it has plastic back cover.
I can confirm the same thing on mine
Now i keep pressing mine
Hi guys i noticed that mine does this too
Its annoying noise but no problem with software
Anyone has problem with such issue?
I heard about this issue a long time ago and i don't have it
As far as i know, it's just a black tape/adhesive on the back cover. Don't worry about it
After some time I visited back and see it is a common problem. I no longer use my A1 without a case so it doesn't bother me anymore. Also the phone has been flawless all around
Yeah with a case doesnt bother me too
Now I am a relieved .. and I dont worry for this sound thank you
I bought the Samsung A73 on this 6th September. It has the metal sides with plastic back-body. When playing the nulls brawl game, i just clicking its back side, and it, too, gave some hollow sound. It's like it's hollow inside. Before this mobile, i had Redmi Note 9 Pro with glass body that never gave that hollow-kinda sound. So, I was so disturbed with this sound, thinking there's a fault in this brand new mobile.
Reading all these comments, i'm relaxed that it's normal and not a issue with the mobile. I, then, bought the Spigen hard backcover. And there's no sound now.
For sure this so-called issue is so confusing when you buy a new phone and hear this annoying sound on touching the back of the phone. Who would want to go to the procedure of exchanging the phone just right after buying it? So tiring. I thanked god when I found out it was just normal sound for phones having plastic body.
