Hello!
I recently bought Xiaomi Redmi 5. It runs smoothly without any problem. But today I noticed a weird sound by tapping on its back at the top. The sound is like something is broken inside and that makes noise. I haven't had any acciendents. When I tap on the front screen or on the sides it is okay but if tapped very gently on the back side it makes noise. I don't know is it normal or is it something to worry about?? Phone is working totally fine. Its in warranty. What would you seggest?

Well. im fairly happy with the S3 apart from a few 'build quality' issues.
I find myself at a fork in the road... especially with this issue!
During a call thats longer than about 5 minutes the volume suddenly drops right off and it sounds like the person on the other end is standing with a pillow between them and the phone.. very muffled and quiet.
this has happened about 7 times since i have recieved the phone and it is starting to bug me somewhat..
Has anyone else experianced this ?
oh BTW my 'build quality' issues are:
Front speaker does not sit flat, the right side is visible protruding past the glass screen and the left side is just under flush.. i would say the right side is sitting a few thou high but its very noticable.
there are a few 'dinks' in the chrome plastic surround ( came out the box like this ).
yes im picky, but i did just buy this phone sim free!
Bump...
Hi
Odd problem.
When i tap on the screen of my rather new P8 it sounds a bit hollow.
I think the touchscreen is not as attached as it was from new, if i push the screen with both thumbs and "massage" the screen the sound goes away but returns. (And it has just recently started and i am a bit worried it will get worse)
Anyone else had trouble with this. I believe the touch screen has somehow come loose.
PS. It's not like it's about to fall out of the phone and i cannot feel it sitting any higher in the case but there is a distinct knocking sound when i for example type in a number to call.
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.

You can think what you want, it is.

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.

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.
Anyone have an odd "tick" or "loose part" noise (rattle) that comes from the corner of the main (back) camera. I just got this Mi 11 Lite 5G Global phone 1mo ago and do not recall hearing any "tick" or "loose part" (rattle) until today. Kinda weird, I hear what sounds like a loose part in the phone when you lightly tap that corner of the phone. The sound is like a loose part tapping on the inside of the case plastic. I see nothing loose on the outside, so it must be coming from the inside. What could be loose? Is this common?
