My Z2 vibration sounds like that, even in my pocket.
Should I replace it or send it to fix it? Or is this normal? Is your vibration also hearable?

I don't think I've ever had a mobile where the vibration wasn't audible. I'm pretty sure that's normal.
Its normal, I've never had a phone either that you couldn't hear the vibration when put on a surface, isn't that the point of the vibrate to amplify the sound when placed on a flat area?

Yours seems quieter than mine really so yeah I'd say it's quite normal. Doesn't compare to the original X1 though. now that had a loud vibration motor!

Has anyone noticed this. The hissing sound is low but is extremely noticeable when placing the earpiece next to your ear. I tried turning off different apps and even tried putting it on airplane mode with all the radios off. Does not matter whether the screen is on or off, The noise does not go away unless I turn the phone completely off. After noticing this I tried listening for the hissing sound on the galaxy s3, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5, it's only present on my nexus 4. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me? My phone is rooted but I don't think that matters.

Lol thanks for the heads up. Btw I did the ota update but I don't think that should be an issue as well. So maybe I have a faulty earpiece. Too bad I can't get an exchange anytime soon.
Anyone else notice the hissing / buzzing / crackling noise or not. I wanna at least find out if this is a common issue or not.

It is. Your old phones must be hissing as well, but not as loud as nexus4...
Can you hear it 1inch away from earpiece?

I googled and found others having problems on other android devices while playing audio files when using headsets. Couldn't really find anyone mentioning the problem I'm having. I'm guessing the other issue is more prevalent?
Yes some people already mentioned this, you're not the only one.
im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing ? ._.

If in a quiet area, yes. I can't hear a thing on the other phones I tested, while placing the earpiece next to my ear.
Yeah i have this on my Nexus 4. Its not noticable until you stick the phone next to your ear. 2-3 inches away and you cant hear a thing.
Just checked my old S2 and discovered that this also crackles a bit, but not as loudly.
I have a hissing sound whenever the screen is on. As soon as the screen is off it disappears, not too noticeable though so don't bother me really.

I have the same isuue. Regardless of the screen state (on/off). However, it can be heard only n quiet room.
I wonder if anyone contacted google on this issue.
This issue is already being discussed here
You didn't know that the Nexus 4 ships with a live snake inside of it?
Mine has very quiet crackling sound too. Sounds like interference.
OK so I just got mine and I had a listen for this and it sounds like coil whine.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Have it too (N4 Germany). But if someone hadn't pointed it out then I wouldn't have noticed it. It's really very quite.
I just hope it won't drain the battery or something because of some unknown process running in the background.
Please continue the discussion here.

Hello,
I received my RMA of Nexus 4 today and it was rev 11 (my original one being rev10). The first I noticed was that the vibration on this phone is completely different. Its awkwardly loud. Even on touch it feels different, my original phone was nice soft vibrate on it.
Just want to know if anyone else who got rev 11 got the same thing? or I should consider RMA again?
Thanks.
If they fixed it then that's great. LOL I have my phone on my desk at work on soft cloth and most times I don't hear it vibrate so I miss a ton of calls. With other people at work they have iPhones and I can hear their phones vibrating from my desk!
I have a rev 10 and yeah, definitely soft on the vibrate, can barely feel it if it's in my jacket pocket.
The N4 uses an oscillating type of vibrator rather than the more common rotating type. It's definitely more subtle and less punctuating in feel compared to the One X, for example.

Yeah I on the other hand liked the soft vibrate of rev 10. This just feels ackward. However its definately loud enough to notice. I just want to confirm that this is a fix or my vibrate is just badly setup or something,

No. There's something wrong. You should RMA again immediately. And then again. And again. And again.

You can change the vibration intensity if you're rooted. You can do it manually or with custom kernels.

I definitely feel this way too. I'm using my original N4 ordered back on the first release in November and I RMAed due to the buzzing ear piece issue and the vibe on the new N4 produced Jan 8 sounds hollow and tinny and feels quite weak.
Is there a point in returning this one again and hoping to get a stronger vibrating phone?

Got one today and if you give it a little shake it rattles like a childs toy :laugh:
Also no 3 pin plug or earphones in the box just a usb cable
The rattle is amazing though :good:
Mine did rattle very bad too ending up sticking a thin bit of paper between the power button and the case. Rattle is no more quick temp solution really.
That doesn't sound good

Google it? just kidding, rattle is basically when you shake some object and you can hear the pieces inside of it bouncing and making noise likes a kid's toy.

I thought the handset was defective and something inside was defective and rattling about
However , it is just the power and volume rocker buttons what rattle when you shake the phone.
Very peculiar when i first heard it but for the price i paid £99 its not really a problem . Keeps my young baby occupied aswell

Funny thing is that I could hear when tapping on the screen. Annoying!
I've just bought mine "Colors 16GB Dual sin addition" and hearing all of this reports from you guys makes me concern and kind of scary either.
Will my handset come with this annoyance as well? Err I hope it doesn't '-'
Probably.

I'm more concerned about the Metallring around the Camera then of the Sound the Camera does. I have this Sound too, but i dont care much about it. Some Cams are doing it.
Make a Video with the flash as light or use a Heatrate Monitor where you have to put your finger onto the cam, the Ring gets really Hot after a very short Time...even the Ledflash does.
No rattle here on new tesco 16gb moto g
This is just due to production tolerances on the buttons and body. If they only accepted builds which didn't rattle a little, the price would go up. You could most definitely fix it with a little bit of paper if you want. I'd rather have a percentage of them rattle than be too tight and have button problems.
Mine does rattle a bit on the buttons, but not a huge deal. Thinking of getting the motorola grip shell that covers the buttons, maybe it gets better.
Anyway, what is annoying me a bit is the camera on/off sound. Its noticeable when you enter the camera app and even louder whem exiting. I have a friend with a moto g too and it does the same. Is it general?

My phone finally made it here and it rattles way more than the actual kid's toy '-'
I've had the chance to use three different Moto G phones and the power button rattles somewhat in all. They all also exhibit the weird clicking noise when turning the camera on/off.
When I shake my phone, to turn on the flashlight for example, I can hear something moving around near the top speaker. Can others hear this as well? If this is normal for the phone then I can live with it, but if not, then I am thinking about returning it before my time is up.
Mine does this as well. Actually I can't remember the last phone I've had that did not rattle.

I'm probably just not use to shaking my phones, I just do this one for the flashlight gesture.
You sure that's not the vibration that comes on before and after the flashlight is activated? To answer your original question, mine doesn't.

I'm shaking mine right now and something is rattling in the phone. No case/bumper right now, so its the phone itself.
It's the camera that's rattling, which is perfectly normal. Every phone that has adjustable focusing rattles when you shake it.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
yup, the camera rattles. it's like that on every phone I've had, except those with OIS.
So I've just put the phone down on my desk(I use a giant 4ftx2ft desktop mouse pad) and heard an odd sound. I didn't just throw the phone on the desk but probably dropped it onto the desk from an inch away. Anyway, upon further investigation, it sounds like there' something loose inside the phone, possibly in the upper half near the camera. I took my phone and shook it up and down near my ear. Wondering if this is normal and does anyone else hear the same thing?
Could be the camera. OIS means there's actually moving parts in the mechanism. Typically if you shake phones with OIS you here a slight ticking.

That's true. But, it just bugs me a bit because I didn't hear anything like this on my old Note 7. Or any other phone.

Ok, I just shook my phone and I can hear the rattling too. My OCD senses are now tingling!
I'm not going to worry about it too much though. I haven't dropped my phone or anything, and it's working fine. I'm sure there will be times though when I've forgotten about it, then suddenly hear it if I shake my phone. Will probably be surprised, but will then remember what it is. Lol

I shake my phone and i hear nothing. . Hmmm, you guys could try by opening it and see whether you can find the issue. It is very easy to open it and close it again. And i doubt any carrier will notice it. or... If you guys are in the 14 days period to return the phone (if tmobile, im not sure about other carriers) then you might replace it

Oh yeah, for sure! I mean, a rattling noise normally means that something is broken! LG should probably have put a notice on the manual or something mentioning this. You know, for all of us who care for our phones.
If it is the ois it will stop if you have the camera app open. Mine also has the rattle but I believe it is likely the vibration feedback motor or weight causing it. I had two lg v10 loaner phones. One made noise one didn't.

I can confirm that it is the camera module. I opened up my device and poked around inside. The camera module furthest from the led flash floats.
