With two cameras on back the rattle seems much more significant. You can hear the rattle just putting phone up to head. Sucks but only complaint thus far except Dot View Case is a bit hard to hold due to the curved back.
Not me. You may have a defective unit.

I have two and both exhibit the same rattle which was also present on the original One as well. Just like iPhone and nexus 5 as well. I think having two cameras exasperated the problem.
Sure its not the volume rocker rattling? Put a finger on the volume rocker then check for a rattle

this. it sounded like mine was rattling, but i put my finger on the volume rocker and now it's silent when i shake it. there shouldn't be any noise from the camera since there is no OIS in it to move around

everyone shake your photon and let me know if u hear any internal rattles. im hearin on in mine, and i thought maybe it was the tab for the SIM but i pulled the cover off and held it and its not that.
anyone know where its coming from if yall have the same noise? its gonna drive me insane!
I think it has to do with the camera lens. The lens makes a noise too when you open the camera app.

ahh... i think you are onto something. when i open the camera app up, the noise gets less, it must be something with the zoom and such. guess ill be able to sleep. for a while there i thought the dang thing was falling apart in my hands
Mines the same also....clicky camera

That's the only thing I don't like about the Photon, and mainly because it inflames my OCD.

there has been threads on this before lol. its the lense cover inside the camera, its loose when its closed. soon as you turn the camera on it you hear the click when it opens and it gets locked snugly in place.

This! They all do it, nothing to be worried about really.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
it's volume buttons or camera lenses.
Upon reading this, i gave my phone a thourough shake and found that i was hearing something rattle around in there. I switched on my camera - shook - and the rattle was still there. Listening closely, i heard it coming from the bottom of my phone, any ideas on what this is? Its not a big deal because i hardly shake my phone. i just want to make sure that it isn't going to be a problem in the long run.

i searched "noise in phone" and such, but now i see i needed to search "rattle"
question answered anyways, thats what the forums are for.
My camera button is loose and rattles. It does not bother me enough to take the phone back but I do wish it was in there solid like my friends photon.
I hear the rattle...not from the buttons thou..sounds like the camera lense
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I believe that rattle is from the shaky micro sd card if you have one. For some reason it doesn't make the noise when the battery is off. Or maybe it is the camera...but i highly doubt its the camera.
It is most likely the position sensor that lets the phone know it's orientation.
Folks, this has been covered. The camera lens cover hangs loose and when the camera starts it's pulled aside and fixed into place. Can be verified easily by starting the camera application or a flashlight application and noting that the rattle stops.

Why didn't you say it wasn't loud enough, or the volume was low
You can try a louder sound clip, but don't boost it too much, else it will distort, and distortion is bad.

Turn it upside down, sorry, couldn't resist. That's one thing I really liked about my OG. With the extended battery, laying it on it's back on speaker phone the sound would bounce off the surface and expand the sound dispersion.

I think its much louder than the.3D.

Does anyone know how the speaker compares to e4gt? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
It is much louder than the EVO 3D. I was very disappointed with the EVO 3D volume, but this phone, IMO, has great volume out of the box.
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2
I too agree that the speaker volume is low!
coming from the Evo 3D this speaker is louder than a Mother F*****
I have both phones playing the same tune, side by side in sync at max volume with both speakers facing me. They are pretty darn close.
Possible slight edge to EVO LTE and just a bit more edge for LTE listening from the front (speaker facing away). Sounds comes around the bottom center better on the LTE than the dead center of the 3D.
acoustics.... get you some!
put the phone in a deep container, vase, gallon pitcher, any cylindrical object with a wider mouth than bottom.
you can aim it in any direction you desire, it will be 2x-5x louder.
i listen to music from my phone while i shower, simply putting the phone in the bottom of the sink is plenty
A guy a phone and a cup. thats how i roll

If your phone is not loud enough for you switch it out because you have a dud mine is loud as hell, I turn it down a notch or 2 when playing music.

Yeah it's great to have a phone again that I can hear when ringing! I can't tell you how many phone calls, sms or gtalk messages I missed because of the low volume on the EVO 3D.
So if I tap the top of my screen or shake my phone I hear some sort of "tick" sound. Anyone noticed this? Is this normal or?...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's the loose power/wake button on the right hand side. This is common in Samsung phones.

I'm actually pretty convinced it's coming from higher (somewhere near the camera). Also if I hold the button still with my finger I still hear the sound. It's pretty obvious when you tap on the screen. When you tap on the top of the screen it kinda sounds clicky while on the bottom just "normal"

Damn you - hadn't noticed this and now it will bug me
I thought it might be the internal part of the headphone connector at first but more playing (and tapping) and I agree, I'm sure it's the front (earpiece) speaker cover bit.
Guess they are all like this, not something most people (me included) would notice until you try.

Yeah I just noticed it even though I already had mine for some time. It kinda bugged me. But knowing that it is normal makes me find it less irritating.
Anyone else hear something rattling around when you tap on the back around the camera and micro SIM???
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
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
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
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.

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

Hi guys,
Got my new Z2 today and really happy with it except for one thing - the volume rocker seems faulty. The top half 'clicks' when increasing volume but when lowering it, it doesn't click, it's just smooth. Any of you have this issue? Deliberating over whether to take it back for replacement.
Thanks.
Does your power button click?

Like a software sound? Or a hardware sound?
Not software, it's a physical sensation you can feel. It feels almost as though it sticks and you don't feel a 'click'.
Sorry if I'm not explaining it correctly!
