hi mozart owners!
i got my device almost a week now and i am very satisfied so far.
the one (hardware related) thing i dislike is the power button. it seems to be a little loose. it works without problem, but it makes a little rattling noise. i bought the mozart because of its fine alloy handling. i had enough creaking and rattling with my touch hd! the other buttons like volume or camera are fine.
does any one of you also experience this rattling noise or is this a failure of my very device. in this case i will try to have it exchanged.
the noise happens sometimes when laying the device down or grapping it quickly. i can always reproduce it when sliding over the power button gently from one device edge to the other or when simply tapping on the device somewhere in the top area (e.g. back side near the camera).
regards,
forsti
edit:
just wanted to update this thread. after little more over 2 weeks full usage not only the power button kept stressing me (got worse), but after I had to switch SIM card twice the battery cover now is also messed up. so any time I grab the phone it makes a very nastic plastic noise (blackstone users will know what I am talking about) in addition to the loose button.
to make that clear: I always handled the phone with full care so I refuse that this is anything about false treatment. my mozart is now on its way back to the vendor and I really hope they change it.
but I really wonder that no other user here has any of these issues!?
No such issue with mine. I think you better get it exchanged.
Mine rattles a little no big problem though.
mine works smooth nothing like that happens so far
but all this zune thing makes me crazy
to me it is also not a "big" problem but it simply sucks. every time i switch my device on or off i hear this cheap plastic rattle-sound.
also the battery cover sound is simply not acceptable for a HTC device. I love HTC but I really wished the quality was further improved and will sometime in the future by _really_ on par with the "fruity" products.
When I open camera app, the back camera lens moves front and back and makes 'clicking' noises as it sort of hits the glass in front it. When taking photos, cant hear any noise. but when switching to video recording mode, the same 'clicking' noises happens again. And switch back to photo shooting mode, the noises persist.
Is this normal? the noise the lens makes?

there shouldnt be an audible noise when Focusing, but certainly when switching from Photo/video there will be a slight noise as the Aperture/Stutter opens/closes etc, its not a major problem

I went to a Carphonewarehouse shop, and tried their demo phone, the lens doesn't make any noise. Besides, in my case, the lens physically moves front and back when you open the carema app and swith between photo/video shooting modes.
My camera does move and makes a slight noise when turning it on or switching to video mode. I assume that is normal behavior. Can't remember if it acted the same when buying the phone, meanwhile i changed the rom from KE1 to KE5 and updated camera from SamsungApps twice.
I had the same problem, it "clicks" two times if you activate the camera. Sometimes (but very seldom) I could even feel the "clicks" while holding the phone.
In some other thread I read a quoted statement from Samsung support that this is a malfunction and the camera will take damage over time.
Since I had the same problem, I contacted support and they asked me to factory reset my phone. That did not help and so they asked to send my phone in for checkup/repair.
Well, it should have arrived today at their repair facility, so I'll just have to wait and see...
yea, i thought i already broke the camera ;-)
Looks like majority, if not all, of S2 cameras behave like that, so i doubt it's a flaw. Some say it's normal, some say it isn't. Guess an official reply from Samsung could make some light on this.
Well, if the Samsung support wanted me to send it in because of this issue, I doubt that this is normal.
Anyway, it really seems normal - just got my phone back. They could not retrace my problem.
Nevertheless, if its turns out to damage my camera somewhere in the future, I have the repair voucher wich should help me in this case.

So your camera still clicks twice when opening it and switching to video mode ?
This is normal, the camera checks that it's ok (the aperture). It does this sometimes when starting up the phone as well.
Is it actually touching the glass cover or does the mechanics just making the noise?

The latter.
Just done some sets under a strong light and can confirm the lens is actually hitting some material. I assume that this is a hardware defect and will have to be fixed some time during your warranty period. When i get some time ill try make a video of it happening.

Actually, you will find that all OC cameras behave the same, i highly doubt that every SII device with an OC camera is broken
Ive had a few phones that do that. I wouldnt worry too much.
Well normal or not here it is, ive posted a youtube video of it happening. you can see the lens does in fact hit the glass.
I am posting this just as an insurance for all the members,so if the cameras starts failing for some reason we can prove it was happening from the very start and get some sort of defect fix?

I could bet 100 dollars that your camera version is OC. Could you please check ?
from what i can see it is down to camera firmware which makes the camera do it. i also think that why some do it and some dont is cause we have the wrong firmware for our camera on the phone. its just being able to get all the firmwares and workout which one doesnt make the noise for our phone
Can we revert back to older camera firmware without factory reset? Kinda regretting upgrading now!
I ruined my camera by getting my phone wet and starting the cam when it was still wet... Phone is still working, but the camera isn't. I sent it back to Samsung, but they said they can't repair it due to the phone got wet.
Now I'm thinking of buying a replacement part for the camera, but I've heard some people say the quality of the replacement part sucks.
Is there anyone here who has experience with the camera replacement part? How's the quality of it?
I've had my One for awhile and recently the bottom speaker got blown. Its terribly annoying as it crackles nonstop now. I'm still under my 1 year warranty...
But a few months ago, I noticed my lens was cracked. I'm not sure how it happened as I always keep a case on it, but that's beside the point. Is there any method of replacing the lens so I can get my phone replaced? I hope this isn't looked down upon, as I didn't mind the crack before, it does not hurt picture quality. But I can't stand the blown speaker. I normally wouldn't be interested in a warranty as such or 'faking' my way into one. But I can't afford a new phone, and can't stand the speaker.
If anyone has any advice I'm all ears. Thanks for reading, and I do apologize in advance if this is looked down upon. Thanks!
Hey everyone. Just got the z5c and I noticed that the phone"s vibration is a bit "loose" comooring to my z3c. Also, about every 1 out of 4 vibrations makes a very slight but audible crackling sound. Has anyone else experienced this? Is that considered normal? It doesn't bother me too much but my main concern is the phone's longevity. Thanks
I have not noticed that on mine.
Mine too (Z5 E6653)
I'm not worried about it. The phone is NEW (2 months might be considered new).
And if it would break, the phone has 2 years warranty. And if it's outta warranty, it's not so hard to replace some parts yourself.

I've read that in another thread. It has something to do with the camera construction. If you you flick at the back next to the camera, you can hear the ratteling, too. In my case, after opening the camera app, it's gone when you flick against the same spot...
If that's not the case... well I'd return...

What does "snip at the back" mean? I'm not familiar with "snip" in that context.
I Do also hear this noise produced by the Vibration engine. I am using a tempered glass screen protector and I am wondering if the Sound might Come from the protector.
Did you experience any issues with this so far except for the "annoying" Sound?
i dont get that sound (film)
i saw another thread on this topic, i guess is the glass i have 5.1.1 maybe it also matter os ver
No such problem on mine. Tested with vibration diagnostics, nothing comes up.

When I Do the Vibration test, I am also Not able to hear that Sound. It only comes up when the Phone vibrates only shortly, for example when you touch the home Button or when you write a text with Vibration Feedback.
Recently I recognized that I can reproduce that rattling Sound by tapping on the backside next to the camera. So I assume the Sound is produced by the camera lense because I read somewhere that the lense somehow "floats" freely on the Sensor.
