If you hold your Galaxy S 2 in your hand as normal and tap it at the top, does it sound like their is something lose to you? Mine feels like there's something rolling around inside it and I only had this replacement today!
All of the top half of the screen aswell when I tap it sounds like their is something loose, it seems to be comming from the camera area of the phone.
I have a brand new one comming tomorrow but I just want to see if this is actually normal?
Thanks
I don't have a Galaxy S2 yet, but since it shares most of its components with the iPhone 4, I would assume that the sound is the gyroscope. My iPhone 4 does that sound too when I shake it, and it's coming somewhere near the volume buttons. SGS2 also has a gyroscope and I think that's the source of the sound.
I'm just not sure if my other one did the same thing, hmm. Would like to hear from other people.
Cheers
Can anyone else try this for me please?
I have no rattling coming from mine...

Hi, same issue here. Enabling the camera the rattling disappears. Disabling the camera the rattling returns.

Everytime i use my camera as the app is loading up... It pushes itself against the clear glass and back again.. as if its focusing or something.. Just started doing it today.. Sounds like a rattle.

Dear Users,
I have a problem with my SGSIII white which I received this morning.
When I tap a bit stronger on the upper half of the screen the frame makes a quiet but audible cracking sound creaking/squeak sound. When I squeeze the top part of the frame tightly with both fingers and tap again the noise is gone. It seems that the frame is a bit loose.
This is very annoying when working with the phone. Please can you tap a bit harder on the top part of the screen and listen closely if you hear a difference between tapping on the lower part of the screen.
I am bummed out that such a premium phone fails on such basic criteria.
Would be delighted to hear your thoughts.
Would you return the unit
Return it straight away. You have a duff handset. When you do get a new one you will love it.

have you tried simulating my problem with your unit? I suspect that all units have this problem for some reason. It's a mild 'clicking' sound it makes

This is not a problem that every phone has, you just are one of those un-lucky people mate.... return the phone right away and start loving it.
PS: The name of this thread makes no sense at all, you seem to have some anger issues just by reading the name of this thread
No such defect in my phone.

You sure you bought the S3 and not the One X by mistake?
Like the others have said you have definitely got a faulty handset. If you pop the back battery cover, just double check all the screws are tight.

Fabulous
My S3 is great. Post very misleading, we can only guess why.Last post on this lost leader.
During phone calls, I am getting some distortion or slight background hissing sound on the earpiece when volume is set to around medium. Anyone else getting some distortions or annoying slight background sounds like cellular noise???? I can't replicate the issue when I use another phone other than my Note 2. I really like this phone but the earpiece just does not produce clear sounds. There is definitely slight hissing/buzzing that can be heard when using the phone in quiet places.
I have not experienced the hissing/buzzing but calls do not sound as clear compared to my s3.
I haven't had any issues with mine either.

Yup, same thing on mine. It's not bad, but it is noticeable.
Ive head a bit of crackling a couple of times but once I turned down the volume slightly its not there.
I had mine cranked to the max and then pushed the button for even more volume. No distortion.

Using my ink'd headphones with mic everything was fine. People heard me and I was heard fine. No distortion even with music turned up.

I have had this as well, going to trade mine out today at the Verizon store and will see. It sounds to me like a bad speaker. I just logged on to see if anyone else was having this trouble. Love this beat otherwise though!

I immediately noticed the same problem with my Note 2 last night. VZW sent out a replacement today.
Bummer, since the phone isn't rooted yet, it took me a while to set up the phone and install apps...what a pain without Titanium. Also wasted a SGP screen protector. But the earpiece noise was definitely noticeable, especially since my S3 sounds perfect.

Good to know. Hope my replacement is problem-free as well.
Same crackly static/distortion on my earpiece. Looks like ill be calling Verizon as well. Wasted a Zagg on this too.
Correction. Still bad on the second one. Going to get a third one today. Bummer. It sounded pretty good at first, but after a few hours it was back. So we'll see.

I'm getting a distortion/buzz as well. Only appears to be when the earpiece is producing sounds (not all the time) which still very noticible and annoying. I stopped on to see if other people were having the same issue because I had my family and gf vet the problem and they said I was "too sensitive" :silly:
Thanks for posting this, will try swapped hardware this week - otherwise device is excellent!

Yep same here. Using a Plantronics Legend earpiece and have the same distortion.

That sounds like it may be a different problem. As I am experience and read from others the distortion or fuzz is from the built-in earpiece of the device. I have tried to replicate the issue with other outputs (speakerphone, BT earpiece, wired earpiece) and none of my other output attempts have had the issues at all.
If you are experiencing distortion through BT connection only I would look to your BT earpiece or surrounding environment (although less likely).

Could someone please elaborate on the hissing? I have an issue with mine where when someone finishes a sentence talking it becomes sort of static-ey. It doesn't happen all the time.

Well, basically what I experienced was when a person spoke you could hear a short of static type noise with each syllable they spoke. It didn't happen all the time and was worse when talking to Verizon customer support, although that may be because the note 2 can sense evil. My third one seems to have done the trick. I have had since Friday and no issues. I can say as someone mentioned already that the call clarity is not as good as the s3, but I don't care as I love the phone enough. This is only when talking on the phone as mentioned as well. Not through an earpiece.
My Note 2 killed your phone.

Coming from another manufacturer and another carrier (Orig Evo, Sprint) can you clarify the "call quality" comments?
I'm fully on-board with the fuzz/hiss/static that happens when the other person is speaking and I'm working to switch mine out and rectify that issue but I've read a number of places that the quality is lesser than the S3 - how so? Hardware specific from S3 to GN2 or a VZW issue?
Thanks,

The issue is too much volume coming out of these satellites. They can't handle the maximum output, neither the speaker or the earpiece.
From what I can tell this is not a defect issue but the way it is. Replacing phones, especially this early into the production cycle, would be a waste of time for both parties.
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
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.

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.
