Rattle when shaking the phone. - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I noticed yesterday after receiving my phone that it has a rattle inside it. I held down the power button and the volume buttons and the rattle is still present.
Is this normal for this phone to have a rattle inside.?

That's the exact reason I requested an RMA and why I am receiving a replacement.

Did you guys listen around the camera? That could be the rattling you hear, which is wasted time sending it back, as it is perfectly normal.

Loose volume keys?

Am I the only one feeling that the volume keys are a little loose? The function fine but make a sound when I shake the phone. If it's just me I'll probably return it.
+1 Same here
Some here, a little loose. My wife's is the same, also. The power button is much tighter.
OK. Seems like replacing the phone won't help. I'll just get use to it I guess.
Mine doesn't make any sound when I shake the phone. If I were you I'd swap it. Rocket had very slight amount of give but I wouldn't classify it as loose.

Volume and power buttons are all tight and make no sound on mine when I shake the phone.
Hmm, my volume button is loose too. Sounds very cheap/janky... especially when the phone vibrates!
Might try a return.
This bothers me most about the phone. Otherwise, it's an awesome device.

Same for me too. No problems whatsoever.
My rocker is loose. Power button is very snug. I have the black case from t mobile on so I don't care though.
I just did an exchange on my vibrant.. the volume key on the one he brought out was extremely loose.. I made him get me another from the back and it felt nice and tight. I guess some are like that.
I just exchanged mine in-store too and got a unit with a much more solid volume button.

Squeaky power button?

There's no noticeable problem with my Nexus 4 except the squeaky power button.it is very annoying and I'm afraid it will break easily. Anyone know how to reduce the squeaky noise or should I just return it? Thanks.

Yes, i also get the squeaky noise. I feel that it will eventually fall off, especially since its made of plastic. To add to the problem, my speaker is muffled and "static-ie"-loud and vibrates the volume up down keys; a vibration that can be heard.
I have problem with my speaker too. The speaker is distorted when on max volume. Are you planning on returning it?

Well, for what i paid and the deving ill be getting, no. Im good with it honestly, if i lower the volume a couple times the sound sounds alright. If the buttons break then im SOL, Ill probably sell it for $100 and get a new phone. That is just me though. If you dont feel comfortable and have patience, then definitely return it.

Shaking phone makes a rattling sound, does yours?

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.

yup, the camera rattles. it's like that on every phone I've had, except those with OIS.

S7 edge home button click

My home button makes a relatively loud click noise when I press it dead center. If I press it on the right or left it is a lot quieter.
Is this normal?

Yeah it is loud I have had 3 handsets and all had loud click.
Is it have its own speaker inside lol i just notice too
Its just that I had 2 other edges and they didnt click as loud...

Mine does the same thing.
It irritates me greatly
I just got the S7E and that home button is driving me nuts... When at work or out it's ok, other sounds manage to silence it a bit but I still hear it. Did you notice after some time it becoming more normal? This feels so cheap. Even my TAB S2 have a solid home button with normal clicking sound this one is just plain stupid making a premium phone feel like peace of crap I was thinking of going to my seller and asking for a replace or try ti repair it in Samsung shop but if that is a deal to all phones there is no point. Anyway sorry for bumping old topic but would like to hear how is the button after few month. Thanks.

Weird noise when shaking the G5 Plus. Can you guys also try it?

Hey guys, I just got the phone today. Usually the first thing I do is to shake the phone to see if there is any unexpected noise.
UNFORTUNATELY ... It has. The way I shake it is to hold the bottom half and use the top half like a fan. It sounds like a plastic piece that keeps bumping.
Then I tried to hold some parts tight, but the noise was still there. I wasn't able to find the cause.
Any ideas? Thanks! If it's common I will keep the phone, otherwise I'm gonna return the phone before it's too late.

It is the SIM tray... Remove and try again, there shouldn't be any more noise...

Thanks for the reply. I just powered off, removed the tray with SIM and SD, and shaked again. The sound is still there.
I guess this is due to bad assembly of budget phones ... Did some search and found that maybe the sound is from the camera's OIS module. Unfortunately G5+ doesn't have OIS ...

OK. I think it is the camera module.
The original sound is harsh (just like plastics bumping into each other) , but when I turn on the camera and shake again, the sound is smoother.
So the phone is working as it should but for some reason a person wants to shake it?
It's probably the camera module..try shaking it while the cameras on and see if it still makes that sound.
But really shaking a phone is pretty dumb.

Me to. But to the OP... I do hear a very faint clicking sound when I shake it. As long as your's is faint, I think you're just fine.

No sound no nothing. Weird.
From my point of view the build quality is spot on. At least as good as my m8 never had a physical issue.

nothing
No noise when I shake mine.
Thanks guys for the feedback. Maybe I will file the return in a couple of two days ... My previous phone is a Moto X Pure that started random clicking right after the 15-month warranty expired ...
Maybe it's time to abandon moto ...

Yes the clicking sound ... When I turn on the camera (by twisting it), that clicking sound is fainter.

Same thing here. It is the loose volume buttons​ (not really loose). Just hold them and shake it, no sound.
Try again without SIM tray... Definitely the crackle​ is louder with it.
Removing it, only left camera module noise, but you should be exaggerating the shake

Thanks, just turned it off, removed the sim tray, held both the volume buttons tight, and slightly shook again, the sound was still there. I'm filing a replacement from amazon.
I just received the replacement. Still have sound, but smaller. I think I'll just keep this one.

exactly what i was going to say
if you quickly tap on volume button(in my case volume down) without cover or case you would get thet noise
i can clearly listen and feel the button being loose and so it also happens on shaking phone
Also got that sound. :/ With camera on its really faint.
Only on XDA, people are shaking phones like idiots.
