Camera lens clicking sound when focusing - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

When the camera re focus's on something I can hear a click sound coming from the lens area. Anyone else confirm this?
Just put your hand over the lense and you should hear it, then take it away and repeat.

Mine does this as well. It seems to do it more when it's trying to focus on something very close.

Same here, but with the all the noise my dslr makes I ignored it.

autofocus whore (hehehe, jk, but yes, one shouldnt pay attention to the sound of a focusing lens)

i know this may sound stupid but when i shake the camera, is that the lense i hear moving around? Thx though for letting me know its a normal sound (focusing)

I have this as well. As long as it doesn't affect the camera I'm ok with it. It only takes a light shake for mine rattle.

Slight rattle for me too, I know it's not the power or volume though. But it's a non issue.

It's normal, mine does it too. I believe it's the focus mechanism in the camera. My previous iPhone 4s did the same thing.
*Edit* I just shot a few pics outside in the sun and I must say.....this camera takes incredible pics. They are on par or better than my iPhone 4s camera shot.

Yep mine too, don't worry

It's probably the shudder. My old moto photon used to do that as well.

[Q] Vibration oddity?

Do you guys have a weird sort of squeak, or twinge when the vibration goes off?
I do not, no.
But that would be extremely annoying.

It is extremely annoying! If I hold the phone tightly in my hand while I make it vibrate the secondary noise ceases to make sound but otherwise, its there. I have a hunch that it's the camera auto-focus lens that's making the secondary sound, but I really have no clue. Kinda blows.

Hole next to LED Flash

Anyone have any idea what its for?

I believe it's for the secondary noise-cancelling microphone.
My cases cover it lol

I read somewhere that its to slip something into to release the flash. For repairing I'm guessing?

No don't ever tell anyone that. It's a Mic for noise cancelling. Not a hole to be sticking stuff in (that's not what she said)

My case (Ringke Rearth) also appears to cover the hole next to the flash. Has anyone had any problems with this causing any problems for the noise cancellation? I havent had anyone complain about poor voice quality as of yet..
The reason I asked was that I bought an amazing case for $4 in Downtown LA yet it covers the hole.
Seriously though, this case is awesome. Going to take some pictures tomorrow.

If the DHD has the same hole, it's odd that Otterbox covers it up with the defender case.

A feature that to my knowledge, hasn't affected the performance of the phone. I can still be heard loud and clear.

Agreed. A lot of custom ROMs don't even enable the dual mic noise-cancellation feature by default anyway. The build.prop setting media.a1026.enableA1026 needs to set to 1 for this feature to work, but it is set to 0 or completely missing in a lot of ROMs.

Looks like in GTG'S ACE 1.0.2 update he disabled it because it was draining the battery. :/

It's been enabled in the Rom I am using, but I haven't noticed a difference on my end of the call. And no one on the other end has said it's any clearer than with previous Roms.. *shrugs*

Beats audio icon light!

Was making a phone call today and looked at my phone and I saw a little red beats audio icon light right next to the light sensor near the tmobile logo on top!
It lights up during calls for me! I thought it was the coolest thing haha. Maybe we can change the color on it or something.
i'm pretty sure that's just the light sensor..

either the light sensor or the proximity sensor.
No way man, that's beats!!! Theirs even one in the back in the cam lense! You have to keep the flash to always on. Look real close at the cam. Take a picture! But make sure you're really close. You might miss it.

I noticed that little red light today as well. It comes on when making a call with or without the headphones, I would guess it's proximity sensor as well.
Dude, its the proximity sensor. It has NOTHING to do with Beats...
I had to put a call on speaker a sec ago and I have to admit, the sensor does kinda resemble the beats logo when your in the dark

HTC One S camera

Just curious if anyone else is having thos problem. When I take a picture close up to something an click the screen for focus it gets really clear then goes back to blurry. I was wondering why my pics that were distant were blurry that's why I took a close up of my hand and it did that.

I've not updated my phone via OTA. I'm running a custom rom and it's still blurry to me. Just like the OP described: ''It'll be clear for a second and than become blurry''
don't go too near. back-off bit by bit till you can get focus.
So far, One S has got best camera among Android phones. Even though they said it's same camera module as One X, I compared two of my friends' One X and find out that my One S works better in low-light condition.
Well when take a HTC Amaze lol and take pics as close as you want. I noticed the horrible camera bugs after ota I wish I would have never updated.

I have this problem too.
But sometimes i managed to get it to work but i'm not sure how i did it.
You might want to try putting the aspect ratio to 4:3, focus on something near, it still will not focus.
Then change back to 16:9, then try to focus on something near again, then it'll work.
Im not too sure if it'll work for everyone, but it works for me somehow.

It drives me nuts, I wish there was a option to turn off auto focus to see if when we touch the screen to focus does it focus better

Rattle around the camera area.

I've only had my Ace 2 for about a week now but I've noticed if you turn the phone over and tap around the camera area, their is a rattling noise heard.
Is this normal? What causes it?

It's not a software issue mate. Literally hold the phone in your hand and tap with your finger around the camera lense and their is a sort of rattling noise.

I can hear it if I tap quite hard just above the camera. Also the phone has to be in your hand and not on a hard surface.

Odp: Rattle around the camera area.
I think it's the back cover of our device. It's all about friction between plastic and camera.

Yes, under the Led. But i'm sure it's the plastic, take a look under the case. There is quite big gap between led and camera, and this cause noise.

Do you get any rattle at all if you tap above the camera lense, just under the 3.5mm slot?

Hmm weird, not sure why mine does this then. It's literally just above the camera lense, tap it over and over with quiet a bit of pressure and it rattles.

Ok so I've looked around on lots of other websites and lots of different types of phone report this issue and apparently it's normal.
Your guys phone is probably rattling when you tap it near the camera but maybe you're just not noticing it like I do...
Ok I've discovered something else and I think this is to do with the camera.
Open the camera, set the auto focus, tap the back of the phone near the camera when the auto focus is locked and you'll hear it rattle even louder.
This must be something to do with the camera/auto focus and from looking at Google it appears to be normal, but can anyone else confirm this please?
Thanks
I think that it is Accelerometer sensor

If it happens when the camra is focusing, I would expect it to be the noise a digital camera makes when it focusses. It happens when you tap the phone because the camera would need to focus again...
... I don't think the Ace II is for you. May I suggest a Nokia 1100?...
