Help Anyone notice a Rattle coming from the top of the phone?

[sean76]

Pretty much sounds like either the inside of the speaker grill, or maybe the mechanism from the inside of the camera? Wherever its coming from, it's annoying and shouldn't exist on a phone that costs $299 out of the gate on contract...

Any one else got this going on?

Its the built in baby rattle.

Yeah that sucks its coming apart from the inside out

Same here. It sounds like some plastic is loose in the camera housing

 

[CalBearsFan95]

I wonder if it's part of the orientation sensor? Same thing happens with my Logitech Harmony remote?

I can barely hear something move around, so it doesn't bother me too much.

If you really shake it yes, but not with just normal use

Same, I really have to shake it to hear the sound

 

[Outsider(Avid HustlaZ)]

Thats weird...mine hasnt made any sound at all

 

[zachd]

I have a strange sound when I drag down the notification bar. Almost sounds like a hollow sound.

The rattle is there...I checked 3 different ones at vzw today...it must be something from the camera mechanism..

Maybe it is like my Fascinate that I keep for a back up when I switch or sell my phones to get the latest toy.
The volume rocker rattles like a mother!

Lol...that rocker on the Fascinate was insane....I tried out like 15 of em before walking out of best buy with one. Must be a Samsung thing..

Never had it on my original Nexus S though. I wish VZW would just get the Nexus S it was a GREAT device!
Anyway I am thinking of the Charge or the LG Revolution. Is the Charge good?
I mean, call quality and signal. I know my Fascinate suffers a little from the "Death Grip"

Give me the low down, LOL

 

[moshock]

Yep - mine has it. Good thing I never shake my phone... lol...

 

[potterdood]

mine has it too, but I also noticed it on my Incredible and it's def in the camera somewhere.

Charge is pretty good on the call quality end ...there are many pros and cons...peep my review..its pretty honest..

I have this same issue, i actually took the sucker right apart just now and it doesnt seem to happen when the inside case is off (mobo exposed).

i did discover that the camera is nearly freely loose as well as the headset jack, along with the speaker cover being slightly wiggly too..............

its a new undamaged phone.

i gave the camera a tiny dab of glue just along where it meets the plastic housing separate from it, didnt touch the headset nor speaker because the sound emanates from exactly where the camera is. it seemed tight before i screwed it all back together... still rattling

i THINK its actually the 2 mobo chips colliding? it only happens when i tap the phone perpendicular to the screen, tapping the side makes no noise...

side note: i may have deleted my camera firmware somehow this morning... it still takes pics but if i am in an incandescent lit room, any solid colors (walls) turn up terribly grainy... outdoors it takes razor sharp images of grass? any ideas?

I do think it's normal to have rattling sound near the camera. My other HTC phone was like that too.

 

[carmendiva]

Sean, i think that is just a few of you guys' phone
I never really heard rattling from my phone<3

 

[smguy101]

I had to violently shake my phone to even hear any resemblance of a rattle, so it really doesn't bother me

 

[carmendiva]

lol i vigorously shook it and i still didn't notice it

 

[scott n]

Count me in the mine has it club. lol

 

[GrammieDroid]

No noise heard here and I'm not gonna violently shake it to see.

 

[-javier-]

i have it too

 

[Bozz5384]

Only thing that rattles is my HEAD....

 

[dwang529]

Mine makes the shaking noise too. so I was thinking of taking it apart, but I can't figure out how to pry it open without breaking it.
