D2 rattles near camera

Does anyone else's Diamond2 rattle at the top near the cemera? If I tap it it sounds as though there is something like a ball bearing inside. Could it be the g sensor?
Everything works OK though.

Yep, Mine is the same. I think the vibrate motor is in that area too so it could be that rattling.

Its the camera lens, HTC autofocus camera lenses move about a bit until the autofocus mechanism is active. Nothing to worry about, my kaiser and Touch HD did the same.

shuflie, you are correct, it does seem to be the autofocus camera lens that is rattling. When I take a picture in a quiet room I can hear the lens "bounce" back to its resting place after the shutter is released. This is the same noice I can hear when I tap the phone. I don't like hearing the phone rattling like that but I suppose I am pleased it's nothing to worry about.
The autofocus lens in my cruise was totally silent.

I also have this with my HTC Diamond. Nothing to worry about.

camera noise

I know the noise I'm going to reference is the camera autofocus, but I didn't notice my S4 make the noise and I know they have the same camera. If you are looking at the screen and shake the phone at you(forwards and backwards) do you hear a rattle? I don't hear it if I shake up and down or side to side. Anyone else. I just want to make sure it's normal because I don't hear the similar noise from my S4, HTC One, or iPhone 5S*although the iPhone has a very loose power button

I just checked mine and no noises

[Q] possibly loose camera lenses?

Hi
I don't know if this is normal so I had to ask.
When I tap the back camera or around it sounds like something is loose. I don't have camera issues, but it doesn't sound normal and it bothers me because I can hear it when I throw the phone on the bed from a short distance.
Are you experiencing this?

Yes, those tik tik what you hear are the lens. They moving forward and back, I think around max a 1mm, the system is electromagnetic to let them move forward and back to get focus, zoom some kind of stuff like that.
I don't remember if the system working exactly like that but close.
Mystery solved as I have it too, all we have, who don't have it do not have good ears..lol..

Question Excessive hardware sound when flipping the phone

It's been two days since I started using this phone.
Today, I can hear an excessive sound coming either from the camera lens or the front speaker. {Noise heard better from front side of the phone}
This happens when you try to shake or flip the phone even gently. I know usually the camera lens on every phone makes a little noise.
But this is extreme. It's almost like there's a tiny piece of hardware broken inside and it's moving even if you shake the phone gently. I either did not observe this issue or it wasn't there for the first two days.
Can anyone confirm if it's the same?

Yes, even in mine there is a kind of muffled noise

Hi guys.
It's from the cameras. If you try this with the camera app open you will see that the noise stops.

Optical Image Stabilisation most likely. Camera lens can move to handle shake.

I don't hear anything noticeable from mine. Just a VERY slight muffled noise if I shake it while holding the lenses right up to my ear, but nothing I would notice if I wasn't specifically trying to find a noise.

Question Strong rattling sound when shaking the phone

So by complete accident I noticed that whenever I shake my 11 Ultra, a strong rattling sound comes from the top portion of the phone, like there's something loose inside. After a bit of testing I assumed it's the OIS from the wide angle, since whenever that camera is used, and the OIS kicks in, the sound when shaken becomes very small. But anyways, is this normal?
This may sound like a strange request, but please, could you people shake your device and give a feedback here to know if it's just my unit?

It’s normal.

Ah ah by accident too, i noticed the same few days ago.
And when i change camera lens in pro mode, i have a little sound similary as haptic.
That's reassuring, i am not the only one. But why we have this thing ?

It's the camera and OIS. It's normal.

It’s the stabilization module inside the camera shaking. It’s a moving part so it’s basically floating when you’re not using it. When you shake the phone you make it move inside the camera, thus the rattling noise.
And obviously, it’s for stabilizing the camera when you’re moving so you don’t get the blur effect.

Thank you guys for your feedback, good to know that it's normal. Have a nice day everyone!
