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

Hahaha ok, cool! Now I feel better knowing it's not just me :laugh: And yes, my phone is working perfectly so I'm not worried about it. (but lets be honest here and say that it would've been nice if there was no rattle!)

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.

Could it be that rotating vibration mechanism?

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.

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 ?
When shaking my S4 I hear this loud rattling noise, I just noticed it yesterday and my Vibrating doesn't work. Any idea what could be causing this I talked to Samsung and they going to fix it but now I'll be out of a phone for a week and a half
Oh no, the GS4 is turning into the iPhone 5.

Sounds like the tiny little electric motor used for vibration has come loose...

Every iphone 5 I picked up, including the 3 I owned all had rattling issues. Seemed like something was loose in them. My friend's iPhone 5 didn't do this.

Be careful. Read the fine print. If they find evidence of damage from handling, they will bill you repair costs...

ive had this phone in the case since day one
Open camera app, shake phone again... rattle gone?
What happened is the little counterweight came off of the motor. The motor still spins, but since the counterweight popped off, you can't tell. Best bet is warranty, or replacing the motor yourself.

My G2 makes a rattling sound when shaken, but only in certain situations. When holding my phone normally, with the screen facing me, and shake the device away from and towards myself, I don't hear anything. However if shaken up-down or side-side, I hear a plastic, rattling noise that seems to come from around the camera. Is this normal, or do I have something to be concerned about? I keep pressure on all buttons, and even the SIM card tray, and still hear it.
Broken or loose IOS?

Thats what I was afraid of. Is there any way to verify whether or not that's the issue?
Ive noticed this as well. I've also noticed a vibration from the earpiece area while talking on the phone. The top of the phone resonates if I thump it. :-/

No, I've just learned to live with it, I would like to RMA it, but I certainly don't want to PAY to RMA it, which I'm guessing would be the end result. I'm fairly sure it has to do with the OIS, because my camera seems MUCH more sensitive to movement when taking pics now. I wish I had another G2 available to take some comparison photos with to try and verify it
Mine does it. (D802, not Verizon)
Looked in the mirror, was the camera shaking (not much)
Guess it's because it's loose when not in use. It can move afterall since this phone has physical camera stabilization.
Even my expensive Nikon says this rattling noise. Tbh I see no problem.
Question,
My G2 today dropped in silicon flip case on it's back (thanks god, as it was with flip open).
Drop was from about 1.2-1.5 metters....
Phone kept working after the drop..
Anything to worry about it's internals? or from such drop nothing should happen?
Its flip case with basic silicon cover while its back is silicon cover + the flip plate.
GOOSPERY case:

Thoughts?
Thanks!
The screen will USUALLY break before interments break... So if it's all working, don't worry

If you hear strange rattling noises coming from your phone a little while from now, it may indicate that the OIS module has come loose.
But otherwise, you should be absolutely fine.

No strange noise... whats chance for ois loose from a fall down?
Tnx
I got a replacement phone from ATT and it must have had a bad OIS because that thing clicked and clicked when trying to focus and would never actually gain focus, needless to say I didn't accept it.

LG really didnt pass G2 via intensive Quality Check Control and Stress Test...?
Isnt "World's Best Phone" should go via this procedure?
Hello everyone. This may sound extremely silly, but let me start at the begining. I bought a brand new LG G6 for myself, as for an upgrade over my old Huawei P8. I inserted my nano sim, turned the phone on, did the whole fresh start thing, and had to leave for a couple of seconds to get something from the other room. As i got back, i noticed that my daughter (4yo) got to the phone and started pinching the top microphone whole with the sim needle. I dont know if she did any damage. I checked the mics by recording, covering each one and whispering very delicately into each of them, and they both work fine. But, what about the waterproofing? Has she, possibly, done any damage? If i try to put the needle in there, It does go in almost all the way before stopping on something ( im not pushing it, just letting it go in freely ). on the bottom mic, it stops freely somewhere right before the middle. I appreciate all the help. Thanks if advance plus I apologize for my bad english. Cheers from Poland.
Don't worry mine's the same. Almost all the way in on the upper by own force if letting it go and only halfway on the bottom one.
THANKS MATE! Im so relieved. Can you also shake your by the ear to see if there is any sort of sound coming from the inside? I got this delicate vibration when rapidly shaking it. Thought its cause of my daughter tinkering with the thang lol!

Yes I can hear it too. Probably the autofocus parts of the camera as they almost always are a tad lose.
