Just noticed my camera while recording and focusing makes a click or distortion noise which is very minimal but I also noticed that it gets picked up in the video recordings. Anyone else having this issue? My device has no other issue besides this and really don't want to roll the dice and get a bad RMA.
So no one is having this issue?

nothing here.
Yeah only a few cases are popping up. I'm probably going to return it an wait and see if these issues get worked out.

I have this issue. Switched to Snap Cam camera app. There you can choose another mic when filming. Works great.

I just noticed this issue. Did the replacement get better?
I just got a replacement and it is a little better. I still get the slight buzzing from the laser focus. At this point I believe it's the design and how close the mic is.

Actually, i found a work around. If you turn off wifi and do the recording, the clicking noise is gone. It's either the mic is placed too near the wifi receptor or it could be fixed by software else..... i hope it's the latter.

Good to know, my first one was picking up another noise almost as if the camera focusing was making a noise. This on is less noticeable and I can only hear it when I am shooting something in complete silence.

I requested an RMA because of the buzzing noise near the earpiece and the sound of something loose when you shake the phone, but the RMA came with the same problems. Is this happening with everyone's phone? It's a bit unnerving..
My phone has both a slight buzzing and the shaking sound. The buzzing is so quiet I have to be smashing the phone against my ear to heart it. The shaking I believe one of the components of the camera. I believe the majority of the people here have the shaking "problem".

Thanks for the reply. Good to know.
I think it's the accelerometer that do this noise, my N4 do the same noise as well.

My sound is perfect. I do have a little rattle if I smack it gently with the palm of my hand. I don't do that much. No worries about it though for me.
I have a slight buzz if I hold it up to my ear, but never notice it otherwise. I think it rattles a bit also. Oh well, love it.
The rattle is the auto focus. it is not a defect
Treat your Nexus like a baby. Don't shake it.
I have earpiece sound as well as the sound of the camera-focus when I shake it. But I'm not going to RMA this as long as it does not harm my phone.
this is normal in all do not worry nexus
I'm pretty sure the shaking sound is actually the ejection mechanism for the SIM card. There was a post about it here somewhere.

No, that's actually the first thing I checked. The sound comes from the camera. At least in my case, maybe some people have different. Whatever, I'm gonna use for a few days and see if that bothers me.
Its the camera every phone I have does this.

This is true, my iPhone 5 and LG Optimus G both rattled the same way as my nexus 4.
Not trying to sound mean, but use the search feature next time. There are already mulitple posts and I think 2 threads about this exact problem. Just a hint for future problems. Chances are, whatever problem you have has already been discussed.
Why do u shake ur phone ?
Of the ones that were recently shipped, do they still have the camera rattle and earpiece buzz problem?
As far as I know all N4's should have this rattle as its the autofocus mechanism in the rear camera that causes that noise; as opposed to a loose or broken off part that can be "fixed".
rattle
Mine hasn't got the rattle it is loud and clear (got it in mid Jan), buy I'm sorry got those that do have it, as it ruins one of (if not the) best phone on the market

New batch still broken.
I received my Nexus 4 Feb, 6th. It has the camera rattle, which I don't mind, and the earpiece is absolutely broken. During calls, the voice is hardly noticeable, and there is a loud screeching/vibration distortion coming out of the speaker. I don't hear any buzzing when not connected to a call though, from either the earpiece or the loud speaker. Also, the first time I played with the camera, the autofocus made the rattle sound, then the phone froze and rebooted. Antutu benchmark also crashes when testing SD card at the end. Needless to say, I've reported all that to google and will be receiving a new unit soon. Very disappointing though.

The camera rattle is normal. Never seen a nexus without it (I have owned 2 and have 2 other people at my work with them)
My fresh shipment nexus still rattles and buzzes a bit.
The earpiece buzz impacts my phone only when connected to a 2.1 amp charger and is very quiet. I never noticed it until I smashed the phone up to my ear and went into a quiet area.
I`m surprise with mine, I have shaked the piss out of it and no rattles at all, I received it Feb 6th:good:
I seemed to be the only one who doesn't get ear buzz :S

Well I'm just about ready to give up, on second RMA for 8gb, and just got my new 16gb and all have the earpiece buzz, very noticeable when in calls and only minor all the other time. I'm fine with the rattle but the buzz drives me crazy.
16 gb buzzes only when screen is on, 8gb buzzes all the time
Anyone else having bad luck like me? Starting to wonder if I'm just paranoid.

Not sure about you guys, but I get the rattle once in a while while in a call. Never got the buzz. I asked some of my coworkers to see if they can hear a buzzing sound and none of them heard it.. Autofocus rattle is there though, but I expected that. Overall, doesn't bother me too much as long as I can hear the person I'm talking to (which I can)
I got a couple free from T-Mobile 3 days ago and have noticed no rattle and the speakers all sound great. I can hear a slight noise if I shake the phone.
Side note: this thing gets really hot on both sides of the phone (screen/back plate) where the processor is located.

The rattle is by design... Don't listen to people who say they don't have a rattle. May be they have a faulty device because the camera doesn't rattle.
I have an iPhone 5 and lumia 920 and the camera in those phones also rattle when I shake the phone.

If rattling noise you mean by a piece is literally rolling around the inside of your phone then no. All cameras have a little rattle to them. No biggy.

I've had my phone for a week now and have noticed no strange noises coming from it at all. But then I'm 66 years old and my wife says I'm deaf so what do I know.
I brought my Nexus 6p at the same time as my friend and his 6p seems to have a strange Bluetooth issue. I don't have the issue (havnt tried it on his cars stereo) but when you cover the top left corner the Bluetooth singal cuts out...any one experience this ?
He sent me this terrible video (video of a recording from an iphone, apologies ) but I cannot replicate the issue. Anyone else having this issue ?!?!?
Here is the video :

ouch is all i can say if this is 100% true.
i've read other post people complaining about bluetooth on this device.. grounding? hardware flaw? weird when he covers it .. it does that..
Ouch right ... Well its defo true and he is really pissed off about it. Has to be hardware related which is not a good thing. Just wanted to see if any others can try it out and see if they are experiencing the same issue
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
seems hardware issue. RMA it.
I am able to replicate this with my BT receiver I have connected to my HT setup in my living room. If I put fingers on each side of the phone at the top corners it immediately cuts out completely. Remove them and it starts working again immediately.

I was about to post the video, but I was like I've been using BT since I got it and this hasn't been an issue yet. And then I thought, wait, and checked to see if I could cause the same problem with the N5 and.. Yes. I can.
BT is known to have these issues transmitting though body parts we just happened to find a way to get the 6P to do it. I would imagine you could find a way to get most phones to do this if you tried.

Yeah I was able to reproduce this on my nexus 5 and note 3... I always thought it was my phone lagging or my Bluetooth device buggering up.
This was a good find. Though it does seem like it's easier to cut off the 6P then the other two devices. Thanks for the observation guys, was enlightening.

This is normal behavior. Bluetooth works on a very high frequency and does not go well through solid objects such as your hand. The module is located at the top right corner of the upper glass top.
I'll even say that most Bluetooth issues on smartphones with sound cutting out are a result of that very reason. Depending on where the antenna is located you may be blocking it.
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.

When I launch the camera, phone shakes a tiny bit and at the same moment I can hear a shrieking sound, like something breaking. It doesnt affect the performance, but it wasnt here when I bought the phone. Anything to worry about?
Camera rotor is broken, send it for repair.
I have the same issue where any app that uses the camera, it seems the ois goes crazy. Seems more of a software thing. When I was in LOS, it didn't do it. Went back to mifavor and it started doing it again. I'm not even going to bother sending it in as I unlocked my bootloader. I've jumped on the S8 also
