I got my X1 silver back from repair yesterday. I noticed that I have a rattle inside the phone and it sound like it comes from the top area.
I did not have this rattle prior to any of the repairs.
YES, I've had it repaired for crack in the batterycompartment near volume buttons twice!!!
I went back to the repairshop and they said, after disassembling it that it's the camera that rattles and there's nothing they can do about it.
They thought that it might be this way because of the new part.
I asked if they could cushion the camera in anyway so it doesn't rattle, but no..
My question is:
Did your phone rattle after you got it back from the repairshop?
Download a sample of how the rattle sounds when I very gently tap the top part of the phone to my mousepad.
my phone has rattle even with no cracks ;/

Are you sure that the sound is not coming from the X1 wheels??
all X1 has this sound... pics of the wheels are available in this forum

I showed a X1 agent how my X1 sounds after repair and before he had heard the rattle he also claimed it was the wheels, but after he said "That sound is not the wheels". He told me to contact the repairshop and the guy at the repairshop said he would get back to me after speaking with the X1 agent.
It's the auto-focus mechanism of the camera. All Xperias make this sound.

the results so far are quite disturbing
i started getting the rattling sound even though im quite careful with the damn thing.
the x1 looks and feels better than other htc devices but in reality it isnt

In my particular case it's not the autofocus that rattles.
The X1 agent said that it isn't supposed to make that sound that mine does.
Does your rattle sound anything like mine?
It's a very tinny high-pitched rattling, the type made by something very small. It also isn't very loud, I have to listen carefully and do it with my right hand. If I use my left, my watch rattles more loudly.

i have week46,black xperia,and crack just like this.damn.i noticed it right now.and there is no sound at all,about anything.just that crack,phhh
yes! received my phone back earlier in the week. had the vibration repaired. seem to acquired a weird rattling sound!
No noise if I shake my X1.
It's 2008 Week 42...I love it!
It's not very old though. Got it since February..
After having taken my xperia completely apart numerous times, and replacing the housing once, I have to say that it should be entirely fixable. Admittedly it took a while to find though.
The xperia housing is very poorly designed, especially the right side, I have learned after my disasselbies

I was browsing screen protectors for my X1 on the BodyGuardz website, and stumbled upon this image of a "hole" over the camera button:

I automatically thought this would be another speaker, because the first speaker is on the bottom left, and the camera button is the bottom right.
Would this be one of the older/newer X1's, or a model from a different country? Or is it maybe an external microSD slot?

Hmm.. ok thats odd
Maybe its a prototype?
I inspected my x1 and see that up the camera button is a small plastic line that goes all the way as where that speaker is so maybe it was planned first but cancelled later?
I noticed that on my X1 as well.
And I agree -- it might have been previously planned. But I don't see why they would remove something as convenient as dual speakers. Even worse than not having an accelerometer in a device like this.
Very true
When I opened my X1 I noticed there was room for a second speaker. It does look like it was planned and then dropped. I'm not sure but I think the prototypes had an extra button and two speaker holes.

Great find, but my X1 (Singapore) set does not come with the Hole! It's a solid plastic with camera icon.

2. Why would anybody selling SCREEN protectors (in the front!) show the BACKSIDE of a phone???

If you look at the image, you'd see the skin/protector already applied.
Maybe it's a dummy phone. So they don't need to buy a whole X1 just for advertising their skins.
Anyone experiencing light leaking around the "back" and "search" buttons of the Incredible S?
I got my Incredible S replaced a few times and it still had light leakage out of the box.

I figured this was just how the lights look on the device - did you really manage to get it replaced just from that?

I brought the device back to the Bell Store and told him about the issue. He said it's due to the double layer of LCD lighting and it's pretty much how it's made.
I didn't believe him so he opened a brand new one from his inventory and out of the box, it still had the light leakage.
Edit: So no, I didn't get mine replaced because of that.
anyone else notice the plastic piece around the metal charging port is loose, every inc2/S i've seen has it..DRIVES ME NUTS!!
Mine has light leakage on it, Bell model. Bought it from a guy on Craigslist and its been past the 14 days since they purchased it (3 weeks since they got it, 2 since i've had it).
I knew it was like this prior to buying the Incredible S so i just forgot about it.
And the USB Charging port SURROUND, NOT the port itself is slightly jiggly. Port itself is secure.

yea this is exactly what I mean. the plastic surrounding. every inc2/s ive seen has it. its like a toy.
I must be lucky, no light leakage on mine.
On my first IS, the USB port metal was loose, I replaced it for a new one and this one has light leakage. So it looks like al batches has their own problems ..

Same here, only the search button is abit dull.
My plastic usb thingy was also abit loose, used sometape inside the case, did the trick.
I can't confirm the light leaking!
Well if I tilt my device I can see different intensity of light coming out of the fancy button thingy, and i think this is normal, since almost all IS that i see always like that.
For loose USB case (not the port) just get a blutacks, it will fix it. (and probably squeaky backdoor after a while)
Thanks guys.
If it's a known issue, I'm not too worried about it.
Mines got that light leakage, but only if it's really dark.
I have the same problem. I think for that purpose in Sensation they are use normal buttons, not rottating one.

Why not use a Drill or something and drill some random holes from the back of the phone all the way to the speaker enclosure. This seems like a pointless thing not to mention that that dust filter is there for a reason. If you wanted better sound there are other things to mess up with (and that requires adding extra holes in the speaker enclosure by taking the phone apart).

it's hollow inside, the actual speaker is way far back.
you are only poking holes onto the dust filter fabric sticker.
Hey there's a dust filter in there that's cool. Don't understand why you would want to do this though.

There's no such hardware revision. I've had both 310K and 312K and they sound the same.
boys little mind wants! the new version Grow more holes .. and I did too!.
Trial and error engineering at its best. Unfortunately with that approach there's more error than success.:silly:
So what you're saying is.... the sim tray tool is making the speaker holes bigger?
Not likely. Not sure how the plastic tool is supposed to make the holes bigger...
Looks like you're just poking at/moving the filter out of the way so you're more susceptible to getting dirt and dust in your phone.
Sounds like a placebo at best...
Well I just got an RMA device and wow are the speaker holes gigantic! They're about 2 times as big as my original one. Sounds sooooo much better.

Hello I bought my one 2 weeks ago, and had been noticing some defects.
They are minor, and I really don't care that much... but it's funny how everyone said that the quality is better then the iphones...not mine.

The sim slot looks like someone raped it, even if I was the first one to use it...

The top plate of the speaker is put on so clumsy... there is a bum in the middle of the white field and the right part behind the front plate is sharp and has a gap...
The phone is rocking when put face down... seen on the pic... If I force bend it the other way its ok for a hour and then back to this... (This is probably the most wtf thing since this is my most expensive phone and has this defect)
What do you think?
Overall its a great phone cant say that... just the quality is not impressive as it was said...

I only see 2 options:
1- That phone wasn't new when you bought it, even if it was in a sealed box. Pretty easy to seal a box and make it looks like it never had been opened.
2- You have damaged the phone yourself. (I do not think this is the case)
What I know is that it does not look like a new htc one at all. Maybe you got scammed??

The phone was sent to service the 2nd time...
First time the vibration motor died ( not my fault.. it overheated somehow)
Now the camera stopped focusing...blurry pics

What im trying to say is that my phone has some serius quality problems becase i think that's not gonna be the last thing that will die on this phone...
Hello,
I've been happy Mi 11 Ultra user since the release. Didn't drop it even once.
Yesterday I noticed loud rattle noise coming from the phone.
When I shake it side to side it sounds like one item being loose.
When I rotate it... it sounds like multiple items.
I tried running camera app so that OIS was active but it made no noticeable difference.
Should I be worried?
It doesn't sound premium and definately didn't happen when new.
Open it up and see what broke.
If you do it yourself have the tools, OEM seals needed to reseal it and the skills to do it successfully.

Definately not gonna open phone that is still on warranty.
Was wondering if anyone noticed something? Maybe not that loud but still?
It should be the OIS. When I shake my phone to the side or even forwards/backwards or any other direction, I also hear a rattling noise as if there's at least 2-3 things loose inside my phone. It's happened since day one of owning the phone.

I have it since 1 day.and last few months I never hear it.

yep same here. it's the ois, this phone has 3 ois. and a large camera sensor.
same with my s21ultra
no shaking on mi x3 pro though, i wonder why
I also noticed a week ago, but I don't think that was doing that at day one...
It's not an issue, the only thing is that I can't understand why I didn't hear before or was silent
Just open the camera app.
Zoom in 10x and you will notice the rattle is nearly gone. (depends on how you shake )
It's normal and nothing to worry about.
Even my iPhone 12 Pro does this..
