It vibrates like something is loose inside and is loud. At times it does this. If I slap it it will go back to normal

Slappin my $650+ electronic device, in order to make a feature work properly = me going right back to where I bought it for an exchange.

Well, I've noticed with my photon the vibrator stops a lot and i have to bang the phone to make it work again, and this very annoying when my phone is on vibrate (missed texts and such) or when typing, I don't get my feedback that I really need, so i took the phone apart in hopes of simple replacement (like in my evo 3d) but it looks like it's soldered to the board, can anyone confirm this? I would rather not have to replace my entire phone just for a vibration issue :/

Yes, it is soldered to the circuit board. I've done similar repairs on other phones, so use a 20 watt iron and go slow. It's not very hard to replace.

Thanks for the reply, since i have extra phones anyway, I might give it a whirl

Btw, when you try it, use desoldering braid to remove it. Less chance of messing up.

wow, i don't think i can do this, i don't know how moto put this together, but it looks like i'm getting it off, whelp, looks like i'll just have to get the phone replaced, no biggie
Anyone else hear something rattling around when you tap on the back around the camera and micro SIM???

Not me, mine's extremely solid (except for the fact that my charging port cover likes to stick out a bit..). Maybe the SIM tray isn't in all the way? Try pushing on that a bit and see if it helps.
If you tap the phone and feel a slight vibration in the phone (and may hear it), that is probably the vibrate motor.
Otherwise, my phone is extremely solid, probably the most solid phone I've had.
Hmm I'm go Verizon and compare with their display its really driving me nutz

well i went to verizon to show them the rattling and they claim that its the camera bezel and they all do that. I said bs and wanted to exchange and they said no it doesn't hinder the performance of the phone.. lol so i said ok i want to return it. mind you after paying full retail. SO they go back and open 3 new dna's and sure enough all of them rattled when you tap on the top ??... wtf i thought i had owned them but they owned me. are you sure yours doesn't rattle?
I checked mine and there is a slight rattle and from what I can tell its the power button on top.

Its just the way the phone is made it doesn't bug me because I don't tap on my phone 24/7. Other then that its a solid phone way better then my S3.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I guess there is a slight rattle. I honestly never noticed it and probably never will. Who bangs their phone that much? It sounds to me like it's the power button. I'm not too concerned.

Its the camera that is making that noise... I hear it on all my devices... I believe its the piece of the lense that moves for the auto focus because the camera makes the same noise when focusing in and out

Hey guys, so I picked up a galaxy note 2 the other day and it's been great but after a few days I noticed the the vibrate had gotten louder and different sounding and I figured out that it is caused by the s-pen rattling when the phone vibrates because it feels slightly loose in the slot because i can kind of move it back and forth when it is in there and I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem? or if not I might go swap devices at the store if I'm the only one with the issue. Thanks
Mine is pretty tight, take it back and get another one.

thats what she said.
Yeah mine is nice and snug in there. I'd have them swap it out for another phone.

I mean it doesnt like jiggle around if I shake the phone, I can just slightly move the end when its inserted in the slot. But I guess it is loose enough in there or something so that I can hear it when the phone vibrates, I think I'll head to the verizon store today then

I had this same issue on my other phone. I swapped it out due to speaker issues, and my second phone doesn't have the same issue. On my previous phone, my friend tried to jam the S-Pen back in the slot without putting it in the proper direction. Anyways, I used the S-Pen a lot initially and now barely use it. I'm wondering if those who say they have a snug s-pen fit, utilize the s-pen a lot?
Anyways, i'd take it back if you can. If it was with assurion/replacement, i'd just say deal with it because most likely it'll happen again if you use the s-pen a lot.
Im still within the first 14 days of having it so I believe I can exchange it for a new one

I'd do it then.
Usually I never buy with insurance, but with all the issues that the Note2 has I bought it this go around.
But I still think this issue will pop up again with constant S-Pen use.
Thats what I was thinking.. because it didn't start happening until after a few days of having it, in which I played around with the s pen a good amount.. but if other people dont have the issue I would rather not have it either because I text a lot and when it rattles on 60% of them it gets a bit annoying

Like I said, the people above didn't comment on their usage though of the S-pen... I barely use it now, and it is in there pretty snug. When I first got the phone before the swap, I used the pen for everything.
So I have had the issue, but on the new phone not yet. May as well do the exchange... though if you can.
Im not even sure anymore.. I used a buddies phone today and sent myself 10 texts and it didnt do it on any of them but then I had anothee friend send me 10 and it did it on 5/10 of them

If it can't boot, call warranty.

Power button issue, had something similar. I was able to work it out, but if you have warranty, get them to take care of it.
I had to call at&t and use my insurance. I complained so much that they only made me pay $100 and I get another 12 month warranty....so im good...Thx for the responses

Had that happen to my first note, it did it on and off for a few weeks, then one night it wouldn't turn on anymore, just vibrate. Took it to the local store and luckily had 4 days left in the year warranty, took it to the support center and they gave me a replacement.
Almost got a note 2, guy grabbed on instead of a note and only noticed when the back cover didn't fit. Would of been awesome but I wouldbt of been able to keep it without telling them. Haha

Slight Water dmg a few months ago, but recently cam & haptic feedback went out. Sent it to Squaretrade & they "fixed" it then sent it back. Now I keep getting "enter password to activate new sim" happens randomly but often right after reboots

Silly question but I have to ask. Are you certain it is installed properly? When I first bought my phone the salesman put the sim in but didn't put it in all the way. Only thee plastic trap door was holding it in.

Yep. Your post made me check it again just to be sure. All is secure. Annoyed though, last time they "fixed" it it took 6 business days to get it back. Front want that to happen again might have to sell it if it keeps up. I've heard of the sim reader failing, but under different circumstances
Try to take the back cover off there is vids on YouTube make sure the ribbon for the sim is properly set to the board.
