Rattling sound top of phone.

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.

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.

[Q] Lack of headphones

I was wondering if anyone got headphones with their Verizon Note 3. I've heard either way. And Samsung replied to a Q&A question on Verizon's site about that same issue and said that they would be included. Any thoughts?

No headphones with either of the Note3s I've bought.

Note 3 Rattle

Guys I tried looking for similar results but couldn't find anything for the note 3.
So I figured it might be a good idea to ask others. Does your note 3 rattle when you shake it, specifically around the top?
There is a slight rattle in mine and I hope it's not a defect? I have also heard it may be the auto focus but I don't remember hearing it before.

Not even a slight one when moving your phone back and forth?

Very slightly, and only when shaking front to back, not when sideways.

i guess you have dropped your note 3.. and lossen some screw or maybe something which is not tilted :good:

Dude it's nothing to worry about..its the back cover..even I hear it at times if I press hard somewhere..which is the reason -like someone said earlier- it can be heard shaking front to back and not sideways...and it's very very minor lol
Nothing to worry

Mine does it slightly but when I open the camera app it stops. It's the auto focus. Many phones do this.

Thanks for the reply everyone!
It seems like a common issue.

S-pen working on gakaxy s4

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a s-pen to work in the Galaxy S4 sgh-I337? Please let me know, this is one thing i miss so muvh as well as S Note. You don't realize hiw important it is once you don't have access to it anymore.

This is the wrong thread for your question but to answer it, unfortunately no there isn't a way to get the s-pen to work like it did on your note. The S4 doesn't have the digitizer to for it. Your best bet for a stylus would be a capacitance one.

Does the s4 have the magazine thing like note 3?

I'll probably have the chance to trade my HTC One for a s4 and one thing that's holding me back is blinkfeed. I know the note has my magazine and I was wandering if the s4 had this or there was a port.

I have it on mine, but it's cause it was ported from the note 3 on the hyperdrive rls12 rom. I don't think there's one on the stock rom that comes with the s4

If you mean something like "Flipboard", it has it.
