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?

When the phone first arrived I was able to make calls either with the top speaker or the back (loud) speaker. I have the phone now for a few weeks and suddenly the microphone doesn't work when I'm in speaker mode!
I can hear and talk when I'm not on speaker, but when I switch to the speaker mode I can hear the person on the other side of the line but he can't hear me (and I checked, the phone is not on mute).
What can be the cause of this problem?
Exactly the same situation. But in my case the reason was my own stupidity. Ones my atrix stuck due to some youtube app issues and the only way to restart it was to remove battery (there was no any reaction to buttons). I noticed little hole on rear side near fingerprint censor. I decided it was hole for unlocking rear panel. It was really stupid as it actually was mic which was used when you turn on speaker. So, I damaged it by pushing needle in the hole thinking that I was unlocking the rear panel.
I think in you case it is some hardware problem too and most likely you need to replace the rear mic.
I've noticed that on my phone the distance between the screen and the bezel is not even all the way around the phone. It looks like in the top right and top left the screen is deeper than the bottom. At the same time the screen in the bottom left is higher than the rest of the phone. The screen doesn't appear to be loose, so I doubt this will ever be an issue, but I was wondering what exactly causes this. I've checked out a few phones from different stores this seems to vary between phone to phone. I have seen a few that are more or less even all the way around while I have seen others like mine. Between the ones I have seen with the varying distance, the bottom left corner seems to always be higher than the rest.
That's been reported on. Seems quality checks vary a bit. No one has posted any problems resulting from it. Most phone cases cover the difference.

I am not talking about the space between the bezel and the screen horizontally, I am talking vertically. The bottom left corner looks like the glue didn't stick properly causing it to become unstuck. If I press on the screen in that area there is a noticeable sound like when your fingers have something sticky on them and you put them together and take them apart. However, this sound might be created due to the fact that that corner is where the speaker is and the plastic is weaker because of the holes.

Mine makes the same noise and I don't have a raised area of the screen in the bottom left corner...

Haven't heard much about it making a noise when you press on it, but a number have posted about your issue. Seems it's always the bottom and either the right or left side being higher. No one has yet posted about both being higher, at least not yet.
Samsung screens are attached to the phone by an adhesive tape/pad. So it would be possible that some bad batches went out allowing the screen to lift. All Samsung phones come with a one year warranty. You'll be without a phone but you can send it in to get fixed if it bothers you enough or gets worse.
If you go to their website you can register your phone and they will extend the warranty a little bit. I think at least a month longer.

I'm having a problem talking to people on my razr. They alsways complain about barely understanding me although I'm talking slow and clear, not screaming of course but normal talking.
So I took a look at the razr: the mic hole is not in the middle of the phone and I usually hold the phone with left hand to left ear and then the mic is more far away from the mouth than the other way round. Can this really be a problem? Doeas anyone else (favorable in europe or even switzerland) regonize such a problem?
I also hold my Razr in the left hand to the left ear and it`s no problem. Seems that something is wrong with your mic.

I Agree... mic problem most likely
To be safe, you might want to check and make sure that your noise canceling microphone ports (the little hole in the back bottom right and the little slit top center near the flash) aren't being obstructed, either by a case or your hand.
The distance of the mic from your mouth is not a problem. If you've ever put your ear to someone's cheek while they were talking you'd find it to be pretty loud
I have the same problem, however not always, seems to me that rebooting the phone helps, have you tried that? (I am in Sweden)

Like marsonist said, the distance between MIC and mouth doesn't matter (well, not when the phone is on your face... obviously if you talk at 100 meters of distance, well... hehm..) but anyway other than checking if the noise cancellation MIC is obstructed, check that the MIC isn't being obstructed by YOUR FACE when using it.
If it isn't being obstructed by your face and there isn't any visual problem, try a factory reset. If the problem persists, this is an hardware problem: I haven't got any problem with it and the person on the other part that is listening to my voice says that it is crystal clear and exactly perfect.
Obviously, if it turns to be an hardware problem you have the right to use your warranty.

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...
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?
