So when I shake my phone, tap the top of it with my finger or when it vibrates in some angle, I can actually hear that something is loose (maybe the speaker). When I shake or tap the phone I can hear some sort of ticking noise and when it vibrates I can hear something vibrate with it.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Most likely the camera lens. It's common the focusing lens rattles a little. Have done so on most of my phones with cameras.

So.. anyone else?

I know the power button/volume rocker can be a little loose

I haven't received the SIII yet, but smartphone cameras will rattle. If it wasn't able to move it wouldn't be able to focus.

From experience, I'd advise to return goods as soon as a fault(s) develop. The retailer is more likely to accept the goods back, and you often have more consumer rights and an easier chance of enforcing those rights the less time has lapsed between sale and returning.
only lucky person have this. you are lucky because you can meet samsung service center. return your phone.
Mine does the same when I shake it back and forward, if I shake left to right it doesn't happen, as already been said I think is the camera lenses to be able to focus.
So I don't think you need to return your phone.

Ask Samsung ...
To those who think their S3's should rattle. Please ask Samsung if the S3 should rattle. You can do this on such things as their Facebook support pages. Update the thread with Samsung's response(s) pls.
I know the S3 can be a phone, internet browser, camera, etc, but rattle is not one of the features they have announced afaik
My S3 isn't rattling, but my power button dosen't have the click/tick sound anymore when i click on it, like the volume rocker has
Eh it should be the camera auto focus. My iphone 4s, htc one x and galaxy s3 did it when I had it. My only phone that doesn't is my bold 9900 because it doesn't have auto focus.

Doesn't explain why some S3's have it and others don't.
For perspective, mine rattles when I tap the top third of the screen in normal usage, clicking links, wifi toggles etc.
Definitely the camera, definitely annoying. Deciding if it's worth the risk to have it replaced..

My phone screen developed a teenie tiny purple spot below the power button 2 weeks ago that that has now grown and grown to the point that there is a purple band from the camera arcing down to about an inch from the bottom right. The purple band is about 1/2 inch wide, and everything inside the band is a washed out grey, and you can see MASSIVE ghosting and burn in in that area. I bought my phone outright for $599 from Walmart months ago. What can I do??! Is there a fix for this? What causes it? Please help. I can almost not read things in the upper right. Its getting worse by the day.

Autofocus cameras have a bunch of components inside of them. Since there are components in there that have to move back and forth, you are hearing that part inside the camera getting jostled around. Quit being mean to your camera!
My camera is terrible. The pictures are always grainy and such. When you look at the camera lense, there is some sort of film over it and i can not get it off... Any ideas?

Cm9.1 stable.
Have you gone into settings and adjusted anything? I was on ics for about a week, don't remember your options.I'd make all the settings the highest they can go. Try a better camera app from the market.

No. But I think I will have to mess with the white balance. My pictures just look absolutely washed out.
Gee. Just take it to the att store and say see..its broke I need it replaced. That's what I did when the autofocus quit working.

There IS a film on it. Only some notes have them. My gf got hers at best buy, same as me. Hers black, mine white. Hers had the film over the camera lens, mine didn't.

Any way to remove it?
I used a sharp pocket knife.
Well, i finally dropped it. I wa sitting down and the phone was sitting in my pocket. (Small pockets+big phone, not a good idea). When i got up it slipped out of my pocket and rolled a bunch of times. Luckily, nothing happened to the screen bt the bezel is chipped pretty bad on 3/4 corners. Just wanna know, will samsung replace it? How much will it be? And is there any other alternate solution thats cheaper?
Thanks

Hey, really sorry to hear that!
Ok now i don't think samsung will do anything unless it's a mistake from their side. Still you can go and ask them and if they agree with to change the bezel then very good! I am pretty inexperienced about this thing but telling you from what I've heard and seen. If they don't agree then you might have to pay them to change the bezel.

Yeah im pretty sure they wont replace without a fee. Thanks for the reply!

Also, replacing the bezel might be expensive. I read that it's attached to the screen.

Yeah, that sucks
But honestly, i dont know why samsung used so much plastic on a premium device. The bezel couldve been made out of something much stronger. Look at the iphone 5, i know it lacks in software but i gotta give it to apple, they made it out of very strong and materials.

Cry some more.
In a randomly semi-related note, does anyone else have problems with the headphone jack? I bought my note 2 off of ebay and any headset i put in only works if twisted a certain way. I am not sure if it is just my device or a more common occurrence. If not, I'll seek a replacement.
I really wish I would've gotten white. With a black/dark grey case, the white looks PIMP

never had this problem with mine or my wife's. Of course you could always go BT and not worry about it.
Had the same problem awhile back I think it had dirt in it because I blew in it and it worked fine afterwards. Don't know if that will help but its worth a shot.
