Whenever I talk on the phone and I'm yelling, the phone produces a "reverb" almost as if i am making a peice of metal flex (or like hitting a gong).
Then, I turn the phone over and tap just above and below the galaxy s logo, and I get a rattle and another reverb, respectively.
Kinda feels cheap, was wondering if it was just my phone or has anyone else noticed it? Also, what components are causing it?
Reverb, unnoticed. The sound you're hearing that is the auto-focus lens shifting on it's springs as you tap.
no, but i hear odd cracking noises when i twist opposing ends of the phone in opposite directions.

Why on earth would you do that? Or is my sarcasm meter broken?

I have a Sprint Touch Pro. It makes this annoying snapping sound when pressing down on the call button on the bottom left hand corner, as if the chrome faceplate isn't completely or loosely screwed into the black under-pinning piece. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a similar problem

My keyboard makes a cheap creaking noise when I type. If I press the battery cover in the area around the camera, I hear the same noise. Is there any simple fix for this, it's pretty annoying.
Otherbeing, I think what you hear is the crackle from the speaker....I have it too!
battery noise
for a simple fix to the battery noise, (this is gonna sound really cheap)
fold up a piece of paper and put it on the battery and then put the back cover on... it works...
might take you two or three tries to get the right size and set, but once you have it down, its easy,
and yea it works... (yes i know this is really cheap sounding)
just been using google skymap and I've noticed there is something rattling inside my transformer!!!!!!
is the back removable? anyone spotted a way something could have got inside? or is it something broken inside?????
its not been dropped or anything ........ and I've only just started noticing the noise .....
you sure it isn't edge creak? if it really is ratteling return it.
not a creak. something moves inside the unit from one end to the other. only started tonight. thing is I have no light bleed no sharp edges ....... don't know if its just something got in through a gap somewhere or something snapped off inside
My opinion would be return it, sure it could be harmless but it's still a faulty product. It could also **** up your device later on or be a sign of more ominous things.
I know you are right .... but I bought it from comet and it took long enough to arrive so god knows how long a replacement will take
and sods law ill get light bleed or gaps or sharp edges next time
ill ring comet tomorrow

If you enable and disable the camera it makes a sound. Try activating camera ....is that the same noise you hear?

I know there are 2 openings right under the LCD itself cover. On the left hand side there is tow half inch hole under the LCD, if you take a piec of paper and insert it at the left hand edge and sort of drag it down...you'll know where the gaps are, but this is too small for anything to go through...maybe these are air vents.
its not the camera. I'm sat here web browsing and if I rotate landscape and portrait it hear something moving.
not sure I follow what you mean about the holes. wondering if something has got in through the keyboard dock points???
It's probably baby teeth. I hear they're good luck.

Or the hamster fell out of the wheel
Sounds like another asus QC story, i wonder what crazy stories will come next?
Good luck with getting it resolved.
Photo cameras have mechanical orientation sensors that are making a noise when going from landscape to portrait but they are very quiet and I doubt they are used in phones and tablets which have accelerometers.
this was something definitely moving about..... ie traveling the length and width of the unit.
its stopped now though so I haven't got a hope in hell of persuading comet that "my unit was rattling, honest! "
don't worry about persuading comet...just give them a call and they'll replace it...
I asked for a replacement yesterday..and I believe the support guy had no idea what a light bleed is, and he tole me parcelforce will come my home with a new TF on Monday..
damn.... after a week of no rattling its started again. I'm convinced its just a fragment of plastic or something and apart from that the unit is perfect .... no light bleed or dead pixels or dust ....
do I risk exchanging?
I wonder how easy it is to get the back off?

You might try a magnet and see if you can move the fragment within the case. Of course, it could use aluminum screws but metal will have more mass than plastic. If it tends to roll easily, I would suspect a metal fragment.

That's a good way to screw up other components inside your device. I wouldnt do that if I were you.
lol, no, i think i will avoid the magnets thanks
.... sent from my shiny new keyboard that arrived this afternoon by the way
I recently noticed that when I have headphones plugged in to watch a movie and if you place a little pressure on the jack, or press the bezel just to the left of the jack, there is a buzzing noise.
Can anyone else see if this happens to them?
Thanks.

yes, but it's not that bad for me, my problem is when I put too much pressure on the bezel around the hdmi port, the sound goes off and the screen has little black and pink dots and lines all down the external screen, however, if I lay it flat, this is not a problem
Thanks for the reply...good to know its not just me, but concerning that the build quality of these things is hardly stellar....the price for being an early adopter I guess
Hmm, so I've figured out that apparently my right speaker is loose.. or something. It plays sound, but if it's too loud, it starts buzzing and gets really fuzzy sounding. Then, it stops playing anything at all. However, if I squeeze the right side where the speakers are, I get sound again.
So, my question is, is there any physical fix that you guys know of? Do you think using some rubber cement on the side would fix the issue (probably my last ditch effort if I care enough)? I was actually hoping there might be some kind of... holey electrical tape, like the black electrical tape, but with holes so that sound could pass through.
Hmm, any ideas?
Okay so before you say "why would you shake your phone", I don't. When I use the phone for a while, like for daily stuff, I lift it up to my ear and I hear the camera module is being loose. Is this normal? If I shake the phone at this point, it's clear the module is loose. Like if I just swiftly move my arm while phone is in the hand, the camera just flips out and retracts.
Is this normal?
Maybe it is... then it's fine. Just curious really.
Thanks!
If I shake it vigorously it comes out a bit, like not even the thickness of the module. Normal lifting I hear nothing. If i do hand chopping motions I can hear very faint clicks.

Thanks for the reply!
Hmm my module is definitely way more "loose" than that. If I do like a firm movement then stop suddenly, the module lifts out quite a bit. MAYBE it's normal that each phone has a different movement? Honestly, I only paid attention to this because when I lift it up to my ears or something, I hear it is a bit lose.
Which case are you using? The ASUS one with the camera block thing seem to fix my issue but that case is SO slippery, it feels worse than the normal phone. I would consider myself not clumsy but unlucky, so risking that case is ehhh.
I don't think it's normal that each phone is different to that extent though.
I'm using the included clear case and it sux. Slippery and prone to scratches. I was intending to switch to the included black one but yeah it is slippery too. Apparently the RhinoShields are good but it makes the phone a brick.
