Small rattling sound near top of handset! - Nexus 4 General

Hey guys
Just signed up to the forums
I got my nexus 4 on Saturday after being a 5 to 6 weeker and receiving my phone 3 and a half weeks in... As you may gather I was really chuffed
I love the phone but I want to know if other people with the phone can hear a tiny rattling near the top of the phone as you shake it?
I got a bit anxious when I heard it on mine... Then I shook my cousins nexus a bit and it made the same sound.... That made me feel a bit better but still want to know if it is a normal sound 2 hear
Thanks

Nexus Rattle [SOLVED]

I know the previous thread was closed that I was reading but this may give piece of mind.
I came across a thread on here seeing if anyone else had the rattling phone issue, there were 11 pages about people saying its the camera. I found that it is the SIM door lever (little spot you push to eject the SIM card),
I took a small piece of paper, plugged it, shook it, and NO rattle.
There's a video in spanish I think on xda showing it's the sim tray that makes the noise when u shake it

I cant speak Spanish :laugh: JK, Just got excited when I found it, figured I'd share.
Mine rattles when I tap it against my hand, but not when I shake it. I figured it was the camera too.

There are two types of rattle. One from camera on from the tray. Mine is from camera, as i did check when i took it apart to do thermal mod.

Ticking sound from the Z

Hey
Ok, so I dont really know how I stumbled on this, but heres a test for you. If you hold your Z to your ear, powered up but screen off, with the phone flat to and pressing on your ear, can you hear a faint ticking sound?
Its in a quite specific area, about 2 inches beneath the sony logo, and in the centre. Strangely, if you then press the power button without moving the phone, the ticking slows down.
Again, I dont know how I 'discovered' this, and I have yet to name this new feature ; )
Timebomb?
Was it made in North Korea?

Haha, I think it might have been ya know
So is it just me or can other people hear it? Im pretty much certain Im not going mad as the ticking moves from ear to ear, so its not a faulty ear
If it's moving from ear to ear I would think it's 2 faulty ears lol... All joking aside. I have not noticed any such ticking from my Z

Its not noticible in normal use, and slight ambient noise will drown it out.. But it is there if you listen carefully
..at least I think it is
Ok...im worried.....did your Z got to you at night?
Hahaha just pure fun here,but serious that ticking is normal?

Haptic feedback

What is that dreadful rattle noise that seems to come with the haptic feedback of every HTC phone? Sometimes the feedback seems fine then the weird rattle comes back. Had this phone one day btw. Dropped it once though.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Have had mine for a few days now and has only had one fall from a few inches off the ground so I know my issue isn't from damage.
The haptic feedback seems okay for the most part, but any other vibration is crazy loud/rattles. Even while holding in your hand and not just rattling on the desk or something. Seems to be a common problem.

Sounds like a QC issue. It should not be like that. Mine is silent when vibrating, unless on a table or something hard that resonates the sound.

Interesting. Yeah mine makes the sound only when sitting on a hard surface, or if my hand is in a certain spot on the phone. I hate that sound so much though.

I can say that the vibration sound is quite loud and annoying. And it is only when holding it certain ways. Straight up a s down it makes no noise. At a 45° angle it is quite loud as well as holding it flat.

It's the worst! It's like this with every HTC phone I've had. I just turn off all haptic on HTC phones because it annoys me so much.
Makes me second guess not going with the s4

The vibration issue makes me want to take this back and exchange it in store. The data issues and next to impossible streaming capability(have not yet been able to stream a YouTube video using mobile data) make me want to just take it in and exchange for the s4.
The over all build quality and believe it or not, the ui and software makes me want to keep the One.
Still have about 10 days left to make my decision.

I pretty much feel the same way. I have 12 days. If the build and UI wasn't so sexy I would have already.
As I'm typing the vibration is getting more ridiculous.

I just don't get why it will go away then come back randomly.

Before I take my phone back, speaker issues

So my HTC One speakers are unusually quiet. I've been researching it but I can't find a clear answer. Basically my girlfriend can blast the entire house with her S3 speakers and I can barely cover the bathroom with mine lol. Turning Beats off doesn't make much of a difference either. My friend with the phone says his is too loud and other forum posts say the same. Before I backup everything and take it back..is this a confirmed issue? Thanks guys

One speakers should def be loud, louder than s3 fo sho.

My one was so loud it blew out the speakers lol! Just got my replacement the other day.

I would back up everything and do a full reset then test the phone

Tried to do everything and nothing fixed it, so I took it back to Sprint and they ordered a replacement for me. She played youtube on my phone and youtube on their demo phone and it blew mine away lol...

Very low volume/sound...

Hi guys my gear is suffering from very low sound volume from the speaker, I can hear it its just very faint. It used to work fine, here is my set up ...stock NA3 which I have since downgraded to stock mk7 I also downgraded the gear manager and have performed multiple resets nothing seems to help. Is my only hope to send it to Samsung? it works, i just can't hear the bloody thing!

Anybody?? My 1st thought was software issue but I'm now thinking hardware issue

Did you get water in it?
I don't think so though but I guess it's possible. ... It's in for warranty repair at the moment, I will update when I get it back. On a side note I find myself really missing the convenience of staying in touch with the world at the flick of the wrist, after having a smart watch I can't imagine myself ever not owning one.

Okay, I called Samsung last Friday morning and by Saturday morning they had sent out the return envelope... Posted Monday morning and have just received a brand new watch and cradle back from them! So 6 days in total from 1st contact to new watch on my arm, THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAMSUNG. :thumbup:

Yup back to normal, as I said they gave me a new watch, I know this as my clasp was scratched and this one is mint.

Do you happen to have the contact information for them? Mine is doing the same thing. I don't think it's a water issue either. Thanks a million

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).

Oh on a completely non related subject I finished setting up my new watch earlier and have got the nexus lwp running behind the stock icons with the knight rider theme tune as my ring tone, I'm in geek heaven... Looks and sounds the nuts

Maybe some funk got in the speaker hole or the speaker itself got inverted somehow.

I blew some compressed air into the speaker and it seems to be louder now.
Hope this helps someone else in this position.
