Anyone notice a slight creaking throughout the phone. I've noticed it when I press the phone to my ear during calls. Its not bad, but its somewhat noticeable. Just wondering if anyone else has this too. I am extremely OCD when it comes to phones. So it just might be me lol.
My case creaks, but not my phone. You definitely made me paranoid enough to check though!
No creaks
I've noticed it ever since I dropped my phone. Only when I flex it diagonal though. Not when I put it up to my ear

Guys, some PSA: while checking the phone for any creaking by bending/flexing it, be careful not to crack the screen
No creaking here. At all. And I'm not going to flex it in any direction just to see if it creaks.
"Hey lets see if I can make it creak by twisting it and putting a load on the phones frame........."
Sheesh. If it isn't broke or creaking, forcing the device's frame to it's stress limitations can permanently make it do exactly what you hope it isn't doing. And that goes for any piece of engineered equipment in existence.

As I stated above, mine only creaked at the top, when you put it to your ear.
Nope, nothing there for me either.
Mine creaks a lot, and when I tap on the top of the screen, it sound like something is loose or shaking. Help?
ya same here, just when a bit of pressure is put near the top of the housing
If I twist it lightly, it sounds like a bag of popcorn popping.
I miss my S2, it was a solid phone.

So I got a replacement phone and order a new replacement for a a missing pixel on the lower side of the screen. But I hear a clicking sound like if its a spring clicking sound on G2 when opening it??? Anyone know what this is????

Mine does it too. I just ignore it. Its just part of the phones overall hardware suckage imo.
My hinge clicks, but only because the screen moves up and down when the phone is closed. If I move the screen up and down while the phone is halfway open, I can see the clicking sound is coming from the ribbon cable. My replacement is on it's way.
Yeah its been discussed before. It's from the ribbon sticking.
What disappoints me about this phone is that it could have been perfect, build quality wise, except they ruined it by skimping out on hinge quality.

Yup, if only it was as good as the G1 except without that creaking sound we had. It really is a solid phone though. Just hate the fact, that dust gets over there, and it won't come out just by blowing over there.

Not sure it really is the ribbon. I'm pretty sure I've got this whole hinge thing figured out and why sometimes they start tight and then work themselves to nothingness.
Here is my theory...
The hinge bars are metal and they interface with another small metal strip in the screen. The ends of the hinge bars are not a circle but a eccentric cam shape. They interface with and tension by this other small metal strip essentially using it as a spring. Over time the metal strip bends in and the aluminum on the hinge bar cams wears down. Starting tight(er) and then finally ending loose. I think the sound you are hearing is the small metal strip binding and then springing back. You can verify the wear I'm talking about by inspecting the hinge arm by the screen when phone is all the way flipped out. You'll see it's anodizing is already wore off from the wear.
Hope someone understands what i'm talking about here.

I'm almost deff it is not the ribbon because my old G2 didn't do the click so it Can't be the ribbon if so than the old G2 would've do the click since it also had a ribbon. You say the hinges loosen up but my old G2 never got loose it was tight and I had for almost a month so that can't be either, since the day 1 never loosen up one bit. And this one is also tight but the difference is it has the click. Wow htc really screw up big time here like seriously all these phones all got different hardware built, and you ask yourselves why the heck is that. And the thing that really gets me angry is their stupid silence on this. I order another exchange on this phone again this will be my third one now and should be here by wednsday man I just hope I got a good once and for all. Or htc will have their phone back so they can fix their crappy hinge. I don't care what they're going to do but make my hinges tight spring load them do whatever you want but I want it to close or open when I want not when gravity feels like it lol

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my one-week-old G2 is starting to exhibit the same sound when opening the keyboard. This doesn't happen when I close it, just when it opens. It's a very faint clicking sound, nothing too alarming (for the moment anyway), but it just started today. After searching these forums for a similar complaint, I've come across this one and have a few questions to ask.
1) Does the sound go away on its own after time (if you didn't exchange it)?
2) If it's not exchanged, will the problem or sound get worse?
3) Has anyone figured out exactly the root cause of this sound?
Thanks everyone!

Anyone?
I'm pretty certain that the sound emitting from my phone is being caused by a spring, but it's hard to pin-point what side of the phone it's coming from. Is there only one spring for the hinge or are there two? I'm not so bothered by the sound (even though it does bother me a bit), but I'm more concerned that this could become a problem for the phone itself (i.e. hinge breaking).
Hope to hear from others regarding this.

Here is a (with pics) thread detailing tearing down and reassembling the hinge mechanism. The linked thread should answer your questions, but to answer your question quick like there's only one spring for both sides of the hinge.
Hope this helps.
Dammit, I didn't notice it until I saw this thread.
The clicking sound on my DZ was coming from the ribbon. When opening, the ribbon come in contact with the top of the keyboard portion of the device. whatever the ribbon is wrapped or coated in is causing the clicking sound when the keyboard is open, the ribbon lies flat.
Solution: I simply took a damp qtip and whipped the area where the ribbon make contact with the device. Result is no more clicking sound.

Did you use water or something else? I'm curious to know if it's my hinge or the ribbon cable causing the clicking sound on my hinge. I can't figure out which of the two it might be.
Also, does anyone else think this issue is caused by the vibration feature of the phone? I believe the vibration on this phone is much more powerful than other phones I've owned, and I wonder if that has had an impact on the hinge or spring mechanism. Thoughts?

I justed a little water - I just made the tip damp - not dripping wet because I was cleaning where the ribbon makes contact with the device - I did not want to use any sort of chemicals - plain water did the trick.
I agree with you on the haptic feedback; I would love to turn in off completely if someone knows how to do that on the stock Bell DZ Rom, please do tell.
So i was doing a final check before i go ahead and unlock bootloader and start flashing since unlocking voids your warranty with google.
upon inspections, i found out that when i PUSH on the lower left corner on the phone, it creaks PRETTY loudly, it almost sounded like im clicking on my mouse....
Anyone else got this!??!?!
look at the frame of your phone. mine wasn't flush where the chrome and rubber frames met, and had to rma it
no, everything look uniform. Same color and all. it just clicks when i push out.
Also not when i plug in my charger and wiggle it a bit. it makes some noise....i know its not my charging cord cuz i use like 3 different ones.
Thanks,
You can relock the bootloader that's a non issue. I have the creaking clicking sound too but on the left side above the volume rocker. I was going to exchange it but went to the T-Mobile store and the sales reps N4 and the display unit do the same thing. No unevenness in the bezel to case on any of them either. I decided there are worse problems in the world.

I have the same creaking in the bottom left corner, right below the speaker. It creaks if I squeeze the two ends of the glass, or if I squeeze the bezel in that area. I'm slightly nervous that this may contribute to the back glass cracking, but I think that's probably being overly paranoid. I actually ordered a torx T5 screwdriver to see if loosening and tightening the screw in that area makes a difference. I'll post back here once I get the screwdriver and try it out.

Please do. I'm a sufferer as well and just thought a few minutes ago if tightening the screws could help. Because if that's all it is, then... BALLIN'.
But seriously, even if it doesn't help, I think I'll be able to live with it. I mean I don't normally squeeze the bottom of the phone like that.
Patently waiting for a reply
I should have the screwdriver by Wednesday, according to USPS. I will update everyone once I get it.

I have tried the Torx screwdriver for this issue. It doesn't do anything. My first Nexus was really bad with this problem, picking it up would cause a creak...you could even push the bezel at the bottom left corner and it would feel "mushy", as there was some slight give. I got an RMA and the replacement unit arrived yesterday. Same issue, but not as bad as the first one...there's no give on the bezel, but squeezing that left corner can produce a creak. Looking at the teardown on iFixit, I don't see what would cause this other than glue from the back or pressure on the speaker unit.
oh damn, that issue is worst than mines. Good luck on it bro
mines is just pushing in on the corner...i can pretty much live with it since i have my bumper on 24/7 but im thinking about getting a rma.
what do you guys think? rma or no?

If that's the only issue, and it's not that bad, I wouldn't rma it. The chances of getting one with something else wrong make it not worth it in my view.

The creaking in the lower left of my N4 seems to have gotten worse. It's not a huge deal, especially since I normally keep my N4 in a TPU case, but it is annoying. Anyone else notice the same thing? I'm tempted to put a very small amount of crazy glue near where the glass and plastic meet in that corner (ever since a tiny amount of crazy glue completely fixed the screen lift problem with my N7, it's been on my mind for various fixes).
I have the same thing on the upper left corner just above the volume button. Again this is on the plastic surround. If I hold in landscape for example the area my left thumb goes lands right there and it creaks hell. However it won't do it again unless I press slightly on the glass in the same area and it clicks.
These all sound like clips or something not clicking into place.
My volume rocker was loose from day one, now the power button is getting loose the more I use it.
Poor BQ IMO.

Haha. Don't go too crazy. The creaking, at least in my case, is a minor annoyance. It's not a big deal. I've learned a long time ago that there's no such thing as a perfect phone.

I haven't heard much about it so I thought I would ask here. The back glass on my phone when pressed on lightly will give a very tiny bit and creak. Not what I expected based on all the reviews about the high build quality. If it's common I don't mind dealing with it, it's a minor issue but if it's an anomaly that might indicate poor assembly I will get a replacement. I know the back glass is very thin compared to other phone with a familiar build so I wouldn't be shocked if it's common. Anyone else have this?
To anyone that has the squeaking issue with there device its most likely just the back is not put on correctly. I had the issue and fixed it by unscrewing the back and putting it back on one of the sides were not pushed in all the way. Now I have no issues and is enjoying this amazing nexus device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
No nothing here. Be careful with those screws. Might void warranty.
I have the same issue here. especially if it's plugged in... every move makes it squeak.
But I was so happy to have one that I didn't think about shipping it in for a replacement.
And I can't open it because I have no torx screwdriver -.-
Same here. There's a creaking when pressing the front glass near the usb connector.
Yeah, I love the device so far, that is my only issue. Not worth sending it back, if I can find my Trox set maybe I'll take a look inside. I don't really notice it in day-to-day usage. Thanks for the suggestion Backslash10.
Only squeaking for me is the volume down when I press my finger on it and go down.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I had a definite creaking problem on mine, but I fixed it by opening it and adding 7-10 strips of 3mm side electrical tape to the inside chassis. This fills up the roughly 1mm porition of extra space I had, and my Nexus is now quite solid.
I've noticed if I press on the back on the left hand side I get a slight click. No squeaking or cracking. A single solitary pop. I'm not going to add tape or anything as it really isn't that big a deal plus you might void your warranty.
I only hear squeaking when pressing where the screws are

I can confirm I also have this problem- squeaking/clicking plastic bezel on the bottom end next the the Micro USB port.
The defect is best reproduced by holding the phone via the top and bottom edges, and then again with front and back at the bottom- which creates a clicking and popping sound.
I have sent my first Nexus4 back due to this issue.
Opon receiving my new device today, I quickly confirmed that the problem was still present with the fresh device!
I intend to also RMA this device, and hope I'm third time lucky!
This level of build quality it pretty much unacceptable. Surely this can't be a design issue or surely Google would have picked up on this? Or maybe LG just have quality control issues!
Going through Google's returns process so far via telephone has been painless.
Ok, this might be nitpicking and may cause some to roll their eyes. But regardless, something that's a little annoying to me and wondering if some/most/all S4s are like this as well. When the phone is laying on a flat surface like a table, the phone is tilted such that the right side is higher than the left. When I press the left menu button, the phone is flush with the table and there is no movement, but when I press the right back button, there is space between the phone and table and the phone wobbles as a result. Ideally, the phone should have a tiny bit of play when pressing buttons on either side, not no play on the left and a big gap on the right side.
I then removed the back cover to take that out of the equation and it does the same thing. So then I removed the battery. Now, the phone has a tiny amount of equal play when pressing buttons on either side as it should be. When looking at the battery cavity, the cutout is positioned a little towards the menu button side of the phone and as a result, puts a little more weight toward that side. Since the phone is relatively light and the camera protrusion acts like a pivoting support when the phone is laying on a flat surface, I'm guessing the weight of the battery is causing the phone to sit crooked.
Anyone can confirm? Thanks!

Yea it's getting to be a little annoying when I use the phone on a table. Whenever I hit the right side of the phone, it makes a *clack clack* sound hitting the table. My old S2 GT-I9100 seemed to have better build quality.
Did you know there is a plastic bridge that sticks out across the rear speaker mesh that is designed to stop the phone sitting down on the table surface so as to prevent the speaker being blocked?

Heh sorry for making you realize a problem that you wouldn't have noticed had I not mentioned it. Yea it's as if the body is slightly tweaked or the camera assembly wasn't perfectly soldered to lie flat or something. Don't think it's completely the speaker hole bulge because it does the same thing with the back cover off too. With the battery out, it's better.
I've noticed a weird oval shaped splotch that can sometimes form in the center of the screen. This seems to be caused by pressure applied to the front and/or back of the tablet causing the clear panel that we touch to stick to the screen underneath.
I noticed this a couple times after taking it out of my rolling bag. I have the slide cover and keep it in a neoprene case which is in turn inside of another neoprene case. I figured it was just a matter of me having too much stuff in the bag. Then I noticed it once after just having the tablet in my jacket pocket.
Putting it in front of a heat vent and applying slightly pressure on the sides will get the panels unstuck, but I'd rather not have to do that. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Are these tablets prone to this?

Best to treat tablets with kindness as most are stressed easily. My Google Nexus 7 2012 model used to have strange screen phenomena.
Never bend, nor drop, or push in the screen unless you really are intending to do what you do. Doing the heat thing may help you to bring into formity and parts that have moved or never put properly in manufacturing, but you also risk plastic stress and breakage..

Did you recently get your tablet? I remember reading a lot of people having this issue when their tablets were new, but after they had time to settle and for all of the bonding materials to fully dry and cure it went away. Of course any LCD will splotch the colors on a spot if you press too hard, though it tends to just happen for that moment and then go away... when I was a kid, I used to love mashing on the displays of calculators and watching the trippy results

I would definitely contact your manufacturer to see what they have to say about it. I forgot to ask, which one do you have? EVGA or another? It was on the EVGA forums that I noticed the complaints of the blotches on the screen... I don't know if the problem affected other manufacturers or not.
Dont have this problem, Advent Vega version.
Can only see something when i press the screen in the middle very hard, never seen it before. does not happen when i dont try to force it!

It's been a couple weeks. You'd think everything would be settled by now. It's almost as if the digitizer is cut slightly to snuggly or something. I may buy a universal hard shell case or something.
I think we all loved poking calculator's displays.

I have seen in iPhone repair kits a suction-cup thingy that they put on the screen and pull to remove it. By no means am I saying to remove your screen!!! Maybe maybe if you're desperate is to get a suction-plastic thing like found in bathroom wall hangers, and see if you can slightly pull out. If the tablet is warm then any gums or glues may shift a bit allows the screen to settle properly.

Whoa that sounds a little scary. I've just been careful. I removed some of the accessories from my soft case and I'm more cognizant of what direction the tablet faces when I put it in my pocket. I haven't had more issues. It's odds though, none of my other touch screen devices have this issue. Even my old 10in tablet and you'd think a larger screen would be more prone to flexing.
