Is anyone experiencing the same as I am?
The volume buttons attached to the back cover are loose, they move about 1mm to every direction and make a rattling noise if I shake the phone or lay it down on a table. Not the quality I got used to in my Nexus One in 1.5 years.
It is the only thing physically wrong on my Sensation, the growing hate towards the Sense is worth another topic though.
I also had some rattling on my volume keys. It was very annoying but it is an easy fix. Just take out the back cover and you will see that volume points on the phone are flat squared points. You can cut some scotch tape that fits on those volume points. I did about two layers on volume up and one layer of tape on volume down. No more rattling anymore!
Not going to tape my 800$ phone :S after a good night sleep I'm facing the hard decision of returning this one...

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)
My fuze screen has became way to loose in the closed position. To provide a better example its like its got a hinge and wants to flip open rather then slide open. There is way too much up/down movement that way. Its so loose that when it vibrates the screen will vibrate on the casing and it makes or horrible rattle sound that makes me cringe every time I hear it. I have to hold the phone tight in my hand to stop the rattle. The weight of the screen will actually cause it to partly open by just flipping the phone over and holding the back.
Aside from duct tape, any good ways to fix this or tighten the mechanism that holds it position?
I have a similar problem but not as severe. Mine is just a smidge loose and when I press down on the side of the screen it slides a few millimeters and it's really annoying when I hold the phone. Any help fixing would be appreciated.
yea same here, it's not annoying but I don't trust it

When I originally mentioned duct tape, I was being sarcastic. Ironically, however, this is my fix to this problem.
I used the Gorilla Tape brand, because that's what I had. All I did was put three pieces of black gorilla tape on the back of the slider. This tightened it up, and stopped my annoying rattle. Pretty simple and easy fix.
Also, it made the snap feel when it slides out much more firm, and I really enjoy the feel of it much more now.
Yep up volume button barely responsive. Feels like either the spring crapped out or the contacts themselves are toast. I was in cwm getting ready to flash Black Final when this happened. Tried the up volume and nadda. Pushed really hard and it would work for a second. The button is depressed and won't return to it's proper position although the lover part of the rocker works fine. Rebooted to see and it can't turn up crap anymore. Anyone else run into this? Anyway instead of flashing I'm off to ifxit to get the teardown and see if it's a spring issue.
If anyone has had this and there is an easier fix let me know.
UPDATE and SOLUTION:
Turns out that the plastic housing was pinching the upper portion of the volume rocker. Used ifixits teardown to remove plastic cover. Cleaned all debris from phone with compressed air. Inserted everyone favorite small electronics shim the cut up business card. Re-installed plastic housing. Volume rocker works again.
Do any of you have this issue?
When you tap on the middle upper of the tablet a little bit hard it causes a vibrate clicky loose sound like the components behind are loose?
I only noticed it today and im sure it wasn't like this before or if it was not so prominent.
Im out of my retailers return window so if anything needs to be fixed I'll have to go to samsung.
The device functions ok but im just a little concerned the screenis coming loose or thr digitizer..thevibration clicky sound is quite annoying and i can't remember if it used to be there i think it might as directly behind where it rattles is the camera and above the battery and speakers. I just hear and feel a vibrating rattling sound which annoys me and feels like the build is poor. Can you guys try tapping the middle upper of your tablet quite hard or moderqtely and see if you have same issue?
What do you think has happend screen coming loose?
I think the resistive and conductive layers of the screen have come loose from the hard tapping.
If i hold down the middle of the screen and release it makes a 'sticky' sound. What is likely to happen if this continues?
From reading it says the resistive and conductive layers come in constant contact meaning it. Ould misinterpret commands.
Is it possible the screen is just loosened from the digitizer or is it more likely the 2 layers of resisitive and conductive layer are loose?
Does anyone know what this is?
It is so annoying in certain parts of the screen it seems to be looose hence the tapping. Is the glue loose or the screen coming apart?
If i lie it flat on a table there is less rattling when i type but when i put it in my case to hold it up the clicky rattling sound is more im just worried it's going to collapse at some point. Can anyone fathom what might be causing this?
It feels like the creen has come loose slightly in certain parts of the screen as if i tap on the opposite side across the screen it seems to c9rrect this issue for a few secs which leads me to think the screen is coming loose
Ive just realised now it's the back cover which is loose or the insides.
It seems by me pressing down on the front screen too much and the back of the tablet not completely heald down on a flat hard surface t has somehow caused the back cover to come loose of the parts inside have come loose by being forced back slightly.
Does anyone guess what is hppening?
When i flip over the tablet and press the back and tap the back cover on the right side it sounds loose and if i press on it there is some give like there is some space.
So ive identified what is thr cause of this and it's that my case which has rubber corners which hold it against the back of the backbpard leaves a gap between tge tablet and the backboard of the case cover. When i tap the screen too hard it causes a flex ehich unfortunately has caused the tablettobend and push the motherboard and insides onto the back cover which hss now flexed and stretched i presume? Or it has xaused the components to dislodge and misplace, can the back cover actually stretch this much?ithought it wad hard pladtic that retains its shape
I heard the tab s creaks also but mine is the back cover has stretched out fr8m within not holding the components snuggly if that makes sense. What is the fix for this?
Does anyone else notice rattling when placing the phone on a hard surface like a table?
By rattling mean clicking noises, like something was broken inside. I read that phones with OIS cameras have this noise, but since the Poco F2 Pro doesn't have those, I find it strange.
The phone has not been dropped or damaged in transport (the box was not damaged).
I haven't encountered such issue. Perhaps you have a defective one. Have it replaced immediately while you can.
I dont have that either. You probably have a defective one.
I found out what is the reason for the rattling... it's the cheap volume button, which makes noise when putting the phone down on a surface. It seems it is a bit loose.
From all the phones I had recently, I find the physical buttons on the PocoF2 the worst. Uneven clicks - volume down is super loud on click, and each button feels different.
I had a Pixel 4a for a few days recently, and it also had really "clicky" buttons, but at least they were even.
I feel volume buttons are louder than power button
