Hey,
So I've read the back camera is sometimes off centred with galaxy phones but I noticed with my s6 edge that the back camera slightly moves depending on the angle of the phone.
When I tilt my phone so that the power button is facing down, the back camera looks perfectly centred.
Then when I turn the phone so that the volume buttons is facing down, the back camera moves slight towards the flash & is off centred.
Anyone else notice this?

That my friend is because of OIS.

Shake your phone with the camera off then Shake it again with the camera active; )
When you say off-centre, you mean under the glass?
Have a double check. I've noticed that it can look off centre in multiple different directions dependent on what light source is above you when you look at it. Maybe I think if you look at it under strong, even lighting (eg outdoors on a nice day) you see it is actually centred.
I can confirm that my camera lens is slightly off-centered as well, doesn't seem to affect function, throughout the OIS movement range the lens is clear of the frame. Still bugs me though...

Err - does anyone else notice a rattle when you shake your S6 Edge? Right now i'm guessing/hoping that it is the OIS on the camera but I kind of wanted to make sure. I know some other phones have a similar noise and that is due to the camera.
I was going to say it'll probably be the camera, the wife's S5 does it. Turn the camera on and test, if like the s5 it'll stop rattling when the camera is active. I'm getting my edge tomorrow so will test.
OIS might be doing that.
here we go who sits and shakes there phone its not a kids rattle so no need to shake it lol
Remove sim and try to shake.

Hey all, it's definitely the camera - when it's on it doesn't happen. Seems like its normal, does it happen to everyone else?

Hi Guys,
So I somehow stumbled across this forum and can also confirm that my S6 Edge rattles (just had to try it) but doesn't when the camera is on.
I noticed my camera was also off centre, it doesn't effect the camera but it does bug me
See this video it show how the ios moves , this is normal if you look at the camera and move it you will see it moving
https://youtu.be/C60ehMe3wQ8
This also happens to me when the camera is on it stops shaking.. i think its normal as everyone is saying the same thing
Is it fine that the front camera on the s6 edge is not center? Mine is towards the top right corner. Doesn't effect quality. Is yours centered?
It's not exactly centered but it doesn't effect picture. Should I be worried
Mine is also off center. I haven't noticed an issue with pictures.

You're talking about the front facing camera not the back correct?

My current device is relatively centered. If I stare at it long enough it appears to be off center, but if I put it down and pick it up, it looks fine at a glance.
My original device's was clearly off-center, and it actually almost had part of the lens under the "skin" near the front snapper. I actually noticed the off-center camera before I noticed the flaws in the screen. If it had been further off, it would have definitely warranted a return.
So long as no part of the lens is covered, you're golden. These things go through their final paces by-hand and people don't necessarily have the coordination to perfectly position things like machines do. Whoever placed the Samsung-logoed layer on your device just didn't quite align it perfectly. It should be fine.
Do you have the white version?
My rear camera isn't centered. I have the 64gb Black Edge on Verizon.
I'm OCD and it bothers the hell out of me, but I didn't notice until after my 14 day return period and would have to warranty it out if I wanted a new one... Haven't noticed anything wrong with pictures or video, so I'm fine with it for now I suppose. To be honest, the only thing I'm worried about is the Optical Image Stabilizer and it going beyond the black area covering up the lens if it moves a lot.

Did you remove the film from the rear snapper? It might not actually be off-center at all if you're comparing it to the positioning of the protector around the lens.

Yup, removed both protectors over the cam and flash. It's off centered in respect to the black ring around the lens.

Aww man. That's unfortunate. Well generally speaking it should be fine so long as the actual opening for the lens isn't covered in any way. It's not going to move anymore unless it wasn't sealed in properly, so it should be fine other than being one of those "annoying because you know it's there" things.

As long as output OK, I don't think center or not is not an issue.
Does anyone else have the same issue as me?
I feel a rattle or vibration from inside the black camera bar.. I can feel it when I put the phone down. I also suspect it's causing the upper speaker not to have a crisp sound.
Are you sure you're not hearing the components of the camera module moving around? They produce a light clicking noise when you shake the phone.
Mine does the same. When I hold the phone in one hand and tap my index finger on the lower half, no sound is made. Top half has a very faint rattle. I ensured that it wasn't the screen glass not being affixed properly (it's fine) and nothing is visually wrong with it. The click is louder when tapping on the front right (opposite of the front camera), which is where the rear camera is on the back. Guessing it is something with the camera, as @toratakeri said.
Mine rattles as well. Assume its thr camera. Wish it didnt tho. My biggest complaint is too loose power button.

Camera autofocus. The lens has to move when focusing

I don't think it's autofocus. None of my other phones, including my Note 4, make NO noises when tapped, shook, or moved. Something inside the space by the camera is loose and hitting part of the frame most likely. I'm not risking taking my camera glass bar off to fix it. I will see if my replacement device has the same problem.

My Note 4 and my fiancee's Note 5, along with many of my previous phones, have an audible rattle in/near the camera module when shaken or tapped. Your replacement may be less noticeable, but I don't think you'll find one that makes zero noise at all.
Mine does this also. My friends does also. I also believe it's the camera module. Let us know how your replacement sounds.

I just shook my note 4. It has a very audible rattle coming from the camera.

I think it's the power button moving around because if I hold the power button lightly and do the same tap I don't hear anything

So your telling me the camera module build quality is crap in this phone? It's never this loud on any other device I've seen.

As we said, you can try a replacement device and see if it is quieter. Just because it is audible doesn't meant that the build quality is crap, it's based on the type of hardware they use for the shutters and mechanical focus. Believe it or not, even digital cameras have loose and moving parts. In the end it is you that has to be satisfied with your device so if you feel it is defective then contact Google.
My Samsung galaxy S6 edge does the same. Something to do with the camera. Especially when shaking the device I can hear it will.
With this device it's worrisome that I don't recall the noise when I first bought it

I read from a user on Reddit, that there was a similar rattle noise with the 5X, and that it had to do with the SIM Card slot.
Edit:

I have no rattle noise whatsoever. If mine started to rattle I would return it in a heart beat
I've noticed this when lightly tossing the device onto my bed. However if I pick it up and tap it, nothing. Shake it, nothing. Not really a big deal for me.

that sounds about right
Both of mine had the sound. It's normal
Lol, every new phone there is a "MY PHONE IS RATTLING OMGGGGG" thread... search before you post nonsense like this.
Hi all. I just want to be sure that my 'problem' is not a hardware issue. I bought Honor View 10 five days ago and from day one I can hear some clicking or rattling noise when I tapp the top back side of my phone or when I put it on the bed for example (nothing to hear when I shake the phone). Sounds like something is loose near the back camera or in that top back area around the camera (maybe I'm wrong). When I tapp it near the middle or the bottom of back cover, everything is tight and without that sound.
I've read on other forums that this issue is common and that sound is from camera auto focus, lenses etc, maybe vibration motors or power and volume button. But I just wanted to see if anyone else has this 'problem'. And if this is not common, what do you think I should do? And, just to clarify, everything is working without any problems, just that annoying sound.
I get the same from my V10 here.
I guess we will have more people with it...
Nope. nothing like that in mine.
I checked the other one in shop and does the same but am not sure if it's only related with certain badge...camera seems to be fine but in instagram it just won't focus. ANyone with the issue?

maybe try getting it replaced.
The camera has optical image stabilisation, that's what the rattling is from, turn the camera on and do the same again and there will be no more rattling.

my honor view 10 also has that little noise when hit by the part of the camera, is normal as I see no ??
Yup. Same with my view 10. The top part made a lil noise when you tap it but it's normal. I heard the same thing on other phones before too.
Yup, I hear the clicking sound on my Honor View 10 when I tap near on the back. I had the same "issue" on my P10 Lite, but everything works fine, so there's no reason to fear.
Hey, nothing to worry about. It's not any issue at all or any kind of manufacturing defect. The sound comes because of camera and its lens function. You can observe such sound in other smartphones too especially when you open camera app and close it or capture something. It's more audible on DSLR cameras whereas smartphone camera it's less. So don't get bothered about sound and enjoy capturing beautiful photos with your Honor View 10.
I have this in my aswell, my guess is either the camera as some of you mention, OR it could be the vibrator thingy i guess..
I have it too. I tried to press the volume button and tap the back like that, but sill had the noise. Later I opend the camera app, zoomed and tapped the back like that. It had a different sound. It has to do something with the zoom function, because of the lenses. I think it's normal. The lenses have to move, that's the optical zoom.
My rear camera isn't working properly anymore so I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem so if I can confirm the likely culprit. Whenever I use the rear camera the screen is mainly purple and pixelated and I can only just about see the background through it all.
The front (selfie) camera is fine so I'm just thinking about replacing the camera at the back but thought I'd ask around in case anyone knew of any other common problem it could be in case I was barking up the wrong tree.
I tried to upload a picture of what it looked like but couldn't manage it.
I've watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to replace it and I'm happy to have a go but if anyone's got any experience/advice on that too it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
I had same problem two weeks ago. Suddently the rear camera gone to pink the frontal was good. After the initial panic, I've tried to search internet, on some forums was said to gently push around the rear lens and the camera will show something. Some one says that use this method pushed firmly around the ring and the camera was fixed, some others no.
In my case, pushing around the camera, initially worked for a couple of seconds, then the image was flickering with vertical green lines, noises, and interlaced "grid" grey scan lines like old videogames. then was hardly usable only pushing around the rim for about one minute for take a normal photo. here is the attachments of panic:silly:
I think the camera was damaged by too much overheat that unglued the backplate, and consequentially the use or some hit or light fall may had damaged the flex sensor or the placement lens on the motherboard. In fact in the previous months i had noticed the backplate was moving if poked with fingers on the edges. I mean gently pressed and the back plate was moving. Doing the pressure factory test, it was around 1020,3-1001Millibar on static and changed when pressed on screen or on the back. I had a dbrand skin on the back and due to the heat shrinked and became smaller. I think the overheat was caused by the firmware updates and some app that sucked away the battery in years. Upgrading from Lollipop, twice to MM, to Nougat, in years and then in the last time some flash to MM and then to Nougat again give it the final hit, especially the first time power up after flashing when you have to set everything from scratch.
I sent it in warranty repair, for camera damaged, added the request to swap battery due to duration (because on June the warranty ends ) and to check and fix the IP68 requirements, also noticing very overheat issues.
Now the pressure test is a solid fixed 999,01-999,03Millibar and the feel is more solid in general when handled. If you have luck when Sony repair it, the screen protector on the front if you have applied, won't be touched, only the back.
good luck
So did they just replace the camera module that is plugged in to the top at the back? (obviously apart from battery too).
Your post seems to suggest overheat which caused motherboard damage too.
Unless I've read it wrong you're suggesting swapping the camera will fix the problem.
I know I'd obviously need a new back cover too.
