Hello,
Last week,my Nexus 4 slipped out of my hands, face down on It's screen. I thought I was screwed, but luckily the phone was perfectly fine.
Since that day though, it seems like the usual rattling sound that comes from my Nexus , is becoming worse. Maybe it is just inside my head, but maybe not.
Especially when I lay my phone on a hard surface, I hear an irritating rattling sound, coming from the top of the phone.
Does anyone else experience this? Or is it just me? My Nexus is working perfectly fine tho, so nothing has broken.
I am waiting for your thoughts!!

Camera shutter? That's made a slight rattling sound for me, it may have become worse for you since you dropped it

I've noticed my nexus 4 has a crackling sound from its ear speaker very faint almost not noticeable without close inspection oh and its started to heat up to about 38 to 40c not sure if that's a good reason to RMA it . but hey you never know if its hardware or software fault

If I put my phone to my ear, even with the screen off, I can hear a rediculously quiet clicking static sound, is this what you mean? I only notice it when I try to notice it so it doesn't bother me, an RMA would be pointless and more trouble than what its worth.

This is a known issue. No need to RMA, the new device will more likely than not have the same problem.

What's the freaking deal with people not being able to hear me on the other end when I have speaker phone on. I have to literally shout for them to barely hear me! Pointless to use speaker phone with this POS

Is your microphone plugged with lint and dirt?
Do you have a case? If so, maybe its covering up the mic?
No lint in it and no case. I am on CM right now but it did the same thing with stock. Not sure what the deal is or how to verify whether its software or hardware related.

Ok, just got the phone and on the bottom of the back of the phone where the speaker output is it is slightly raised...it seems normal, but unecessary so im just wondering if everyones is like that or if mine has a slight cosmetic defect...
Again...it seems normal. just a little out of place/unneccessary ...and its jot the actual speaker itself but on the back cover where the port for the speaker on the middle line it is raised slightly

I think it is just a design flaw.

Could be there for when the phone is on a flat surface you can still hear the sound.
I'm not really sure tho.
Nexusâ´

I'd say keep it up. It assisted in answering a question of mine as I thought it was a defect at first glance.

My Galaxy Note had the same bump, it helps to elevate the speaker if it's on a flat surface. I never consciously noticed it until now
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?

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.

So I noticed this by accident today, after a few days of usage. The speakers at the bottom of the phone do not work equally(or symmetrically?).
I was holding the phone in a weird position and my fingers were closing the left speaker and sound was fine. I switched hands and right speaker got closed. I wasn't able to hear anything. I thought it was something to do with the video(youtube) then tried with other webpages and the preloaded mp3 from vienna choir. It was all the same. So I get the sound basically from right. The left one is virtually silent.
I can't go the store and test the phones on display. So do you have the same issue?
Only has one speaker other is mic , it's cosmetic

Lol... I actually did 2 exchanges before I figured out there's only a right speaker. The left one is the microphone. Like the guy above me said, it's just for looks.
