Xoom rattling noise

Hi folks,
I've had my Xoom for around a three weeks now, I've rooted it and so far so good, loving it!
However yesterday it developed a rattling sound at the bottom of the device, I've not dropped the device and I haven't done anything that would cause it to have internal damage.
I'm thinking I should return it in case this issue progresses further in the future and I have more issues with it.
If anyone has experienced this issues please could you advise me on what you did?

Hi there, it could be anything from something in your cpu, camera or power button...
Does it still rattle when you gently tap your tablet?
Have you overclocked it? Maybe too much?
If you still have warranty just ask for replacement...

That is right. Get it replaced thru warranty but first you need to unroot it and lock your bootloader.

I got it replaced, the only thing I did with it was root and put the TeamEOS Wingray ROM on it. So I doubt that could have been the cause. This tablet has a similar issue too, it's no really loud. It does take a fair bit of shaking to produce the sound, but I will be using it in my car every so often so I'm not sure if it would interfere.
I'm dead please the the XOOM in general, it's spot on. I think I'll get it in the car through the week and see if it is a problem, if not I'll leave it be.

That rattle is the power button. Its not really the most solid button ever, but compared to the rest of the tablet its the only not-so-well made piece.

That would be the noise!
I'll get something to cushion it whilst using it in the car, it seems applying the smallest amount of pressure stops it!
I'm still glad I got it swapped, the previous one did originally looked like it had been opened and returned, this one did look new.
Thanks for all the help!

Defective Tablets from Amazon?

Hi all,
The Infinity is my first tablet and I was thrilled when I was finally able to order one and it shipped out. The first night I had it I noticed that it had arrived with a couple scratches on the side and there was unpainted surface showing. I emailed Amazon about this and they offered to either refund 20% of my purchase or replace the tablet. While still deciding which road to take, I noticed that my screen was separating from the metal body at the bottom of the tablet (near the dock connector). I returned it and received a new one promptly.
Unfortunately my new one is also defective. When you hold the screen in landscape the right side of the screen is loose and makes a clicking sound when you grab onto it (actually more annoying than what was wrong with the first tablet). Amazon suggested to check with ASUS. ASUS only offered to have me send it in to be serviced (not replaced) and that I would have to pay shipping.
Do I now return this tablet to Amazon again and hope that I finally get a well constructed tablet? Are ASUS tablets always this hit or miss in terms of their quality?

Clicking by the speaker is "normal". Mine doesn't click but feels slightly separated there. No other problems at all with mine. Got it at B&H.

It's just frustrating that this one is clicking at the speaker when the first tablet had other problems but no clicking (I still have them both in my possession so I checked to make sure I hadn't just accidentally not noticed it)

It's a somewhat weaker spot on the backside that many units suffer from (I haven't spotted it so far on mine). As fr as the reports go, it does not impact norml usage, so I guess it is okay. (Nonetheless, on a tablet priced as the TF700 is, I should expect the esign to be thought through a little better.)

My initial tablet had a very small amount of screen give near the speaker. But this loud audible clicking seems a bit much to tolerate. While I can still use the tablet normally, it sure is annoying to hear it click every time I move my hand.
I've uploaded a video to show the clicking:

That sucks. Sorry. Mine seems to be OK except for a touch of light bleeding which I may just fix myself once some teardown videos show up.

That's really aweful. I'd return it for sure. I'm getting mine from BestBuy on Monday...I hope I don't have any such issues.

Mine clicks too. I find it more of a feature though because it gives me a strange sort of satisfaction to constantly press it. Maybe it's just me.

Like popping bubble packing... it's addictive!

I ordered my amethyst one from Amazon. Structurally, the tablet is very sound. No separation or weaknesses.
But I do have some notable backlight bleed that you can see in the backlight bleed thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29335840&postcount=7
I am also experiencing two audio problems: electronic squealing from the headphone jack when watching movies with BS Player and MX player. It is a moderately loud continuous "beeep.......beep.....beeeeeep....beeeeep....beeep.....beep" that is audible at normal volumes and when the volume is muted. Wear headphones, watch an mkv video file, and let me know if you hear this. I also have serious bluetooth audio lag. If I use a bluetooth headset instead of stereo headphones, I don't hear any squealing, but the sound is at least 1-2 seconds behind the video.
As a comparison, neither my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus have any of these issues. No backlight bleed, squealing, or bluetooth lag. I can live with the backlight bleed on the Infinity if the two audio issues can be fixed. Otherwise, I will need to return this unit. Almost everything else about this tablet is stellar, so I would hate to return it.

Update
Received tablet number three today from Amazon. This one makes the clicking sound of tablet 2 and has the loose screen of tablet 1. Not sure what to do now.
Do I give up on the Infinity and go to the Nexus 7?

My Nexus 7 had a bad display and died within an hour of unboxing. Just ordered my TF700. Fingers crossed.

Wow that clicking is serious and that gap is definitely a defect. I'm starting to think I should have kept the first Infinity I had I had only minimal movement from the screen and no click. Hope the second doesn't have any issues. That click is serious lol.

Not sure if the warehouses matter but these are mine:

Tablet 2 (the clicking sound shown in the Youtube video): Whitestown, IN
Tablet 3 (slightly less egregious clicking, AND screen loose near dock connector): Breinigsville, PA
Tablet 4 (?): Shipping soon and arriving tomorrow (I guess when you have 3 defective products they pay extra for Saturday delivery)

I'm feeling the same way. My first tablet with the loose screen (but no clicking) and the scratches it arrived with is starting to look pretty attractive.

Bought mine from amazon.de, which had screen separation and a dead love of pixels after a day, told them and they sent a new one a hour later. I currently have 2 until they send me packaging for the old one haha XD but the new one is perfect condition.very impressed with the service, but less so with the fact they are even sending out dodgy units.

Headphone Jack Position - Really Good

Has anyone tried to watch a movie with wired headphones. You're in for a wonderful surprise. ASUS has greatly improved the headphone jack location. It is now at the bottom of the left side so now it no longer dangles when its in the dock.
I know this might be considered a small thing to some people, but it makes me really happy!
(Note this post has been slightly modified (censored) from the original to support the all important group consensus. In its original form I might have said something about the headphone jack being under the users hand and in a really awkard place, forcing me to do stupid things like use the tablet upside-down. But I have now been made to see the light! So this post is now pro-Infinity and non offensive: Cue the music of 2001 a Space Odyssey, with monkeys dancing around a great metallic monolith ...)

What's wrong with just rotating it 180 degrees?
Edit: I didn't see your statement on case. Would you show us an example where a case makes it hard to rotate it does not provide place to grip?

Oh darn, silly me. I didn't realize - ASUS designed this tablet to be used upside down. Well, problem solved!
Sorry for the sarcasm - couldn't resist.
I just tried flipping my current case over - seems OK. Will have to try my Roocase upside down as well.
But I CAN see a problem switching out of movies to do work and then coming back. There are some apps that expect the tablet to be vertical and that might be a problem.
Bottom line, it just seems like an unecessary and almost laugable inconvenience (and a rather stupid one) on a so-called premium tablet.

Don't mistake sarcasm for hostility. The purpose of sarcasm is to undercore the absudity of the situation created by ASUS, its not directed at you. I mean, I'm debating the pros and cons of using my tablet upside down. It just seems a little ridiculous.

That's a good idea. What case do you have? I have a Caseen, but the strap is horizontal, so I can only really put my hand through it in portrait. Pretty awkard to use in landscape.

Just to play devils advocate here, I actually LIKE the placement of the headphone jack! Since I would leave the tablet docked when watching a movie (so I don't have to hold it the whole time), the location is kind of nice as the headphone wire doesn't "hang" down and get in the way like it would if the headphone jack were at the top of the device.... It stays out of the way...
Of course, that's because I have the dock - but then again, that's why I bought the Transformer - because of the dock - otherwise, I probably wouldn't buy as Asus Transformer tablet....
So, believe it or not, there are pros and cons to the location of the headphone jack!

I would say its there so it can fit in the wedge shape of the Infinity and be mostly covered and not exposed like the Prime.

You are 100% right sir. This is the reason it was moved and the device is much better for it. The primes placement was a pain in the arse.

Yeah, I guess they can't make everyone happy all of the time, right? It seems some people prefer the location and others do not.
But like I said, I would imagine that most people who buy a Transformer, but it because of the keyboard dock, so I would think that it's placement would be preferred for most people....

I actually noticed the same with the hdmi jacket. It's in a quite bad position there and problem is that some videos don't rotate 180 otherwise this wouldn't be such a big deal

Every other manufacturer just puts an audio out ON THE DOCK !
Its not a better solution to put the jack on the bottom where it blocks your hand. Any engineer worth his salt would have left the jack in the proper position and put an audio out/headphone jack on the dock instead.
Don't tell me lots of people haven't thought this already. I noticed this right away when I had the Prime - the audio cable dangles from the top of the tablet while its in the dock - so - did you think - yes lets move it to the bottom so now its under the users hand - which won't be a problem because he can just use it upside down - or do you think - lets put an audio jack on the dock itself - kind of basic.

Again, some people prefer it on the bottom - it's a personal preference and I'm obviously not the only one who would rather have it at the bottom.
Of course it would be better to have a headphone jack on both the dock and the tablet, but thats not the case. I just can't imagine holding my TF700 while watching a movie to begin with - I would always have it in the dock (or some other type of stand).
But, if you must hold the tablet while using headphones, simply hold onto it from the middle of the device instead of at the very bottom - I just don't see what the big deal is - I can hold it just fine with two hands, even with headphones plugged in!?!?

I imagine that, if you never hold the tablet in your hand while watching a movie, then it would not be a problem. I mean seriously - who buys a tablet to hold it anyway!
But for the extremely small minority that do hold the tablet while watching a movie.....
Sigh. I don't understand why people are so unbelievably accepting of a device's shortcomings. (Well actually I do - people interpret criticism of the product as an indictment of their decision to buy it - if they admit there is something wrong with the tablet they are tacitly admiting that they may have made a mistake)
-Yes the speaker sound isn't a problem..I always use external speakers anyway
-Yes the battery life isn't a problem..I'm always near a plug anyway
-Yes the bluetooth audio lag isn't a problem...I'll just use wired headphones
-Yes doctor you can cut off one of my fingers to use in a class demonstration.... I have four more anyway....

Why can't you just put your hand right above the headphone jack in order to hold it with two hands?? The headphone jack is way at the bottom of the tab - I just don't see the problem - there is plenty of real-estate above the headphone jack to put your hands! It's certainly *nowhere near* "impossible" to hold with two hands as you say in the original post....

I like the placement of the headphone jack... it stays out of the way. I've never liked having the jack on the other side or on the top.
Maybe your hands are just bigger (I'm average height), maybe just thread the wire through your fingers? Or flip it upside down. I don't think case design has to do with a tablet design "fault".
Some people buy the tablet, without the dock.

"Official Response" from Asus about Screen Flex, clicking

I'vd had my TF700 for about 2 weeks now. When I first got it, there was little to none screen edge clicking. But now, entire top edge of the screen clicks when I gently press it. I am not pressing it hard at all to make the screen click. I have no other issues with the infinity. I thought about returning it for a new one, but I've read so many other defects such as no update issue, light bleeds, dead pixels, etc. So I called Asus customer service and explained the situation. They said it was normal for gorilla glass to have a little "flex" and make a sound. But they also said that if the screen was separating, then I should return it.
Now, I read couple of threads about this issue, but I don't know whether I have the flex problem or the screen separation issue.
Should I return it?

Absolutely, mine has no problem at all, return it to the dealer and ask for a replacement...that is what I will do..

Well if Asus is telling you to return a problematic tab...then I guess maybe that might be the thing to do.
I'm hoping I can get a second refurbed Infinity in the coming weeks for cheap-o...

Unfortunately, I imported mine from the us so a return is pretty unlikely, plus, its unlocked.

I too have the clicking, and it does not dock. no connection is made

I too had the clicking sound, on the right side of my screen, right above the speaker. It was not very loud, but it was noticeable. The lower right corner had some give to it when I pushed down on it as well. This in combination with the light bleed on the right edge of my screen and a lighter patch that would appear on the left side during boot up made me exchange my table with amazon. My new tablet has none of the clicking issues with the screen, and feels more solid, the light bleed on the right side of the screen is just about the same, but the light patch on the left is gone. Granted, the light bleed is only noticeable during boot up, so I'm not worried about that as much.

Power button wiggles

Am I the only one whose Motorola G has a loose power button? It's not that big of a deal, but it makes a hollow noise if I shake the phone slightly. The volume buttons are fine though.

Nope. You're not the only one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547293, http://www.modaco.com/topic/366780-power-button-rattle/

The buttons on mine wiggle a little as well. And according to the reviews that I have read and watched that seems to be a normal thing with this phone.
I suppose this is just part of the lower price point. And to be honest, I can live with wigglin' buttons as long as the phone works well^^ And the buttons still work perfectly fine and "feel right" when you press them, it's not like they feel mushy. So it's perfectly fine in my opinion.

Exactly, they do feel "clicky"^^ I've tested devices before where the buttons were so mushy and weird, half the time you couldn't tell whether you actually pressed the button correctly or not...

I have a similar issue.. my power button is tighter than my volume rocker which seems very loose and rattles even when I am just handling the phone! Annoying!
Should I try get an exchange or is this common perk of the MG?

It's a common thing. That and the mediocre camera are probably what we could put into the "you get what you pay for" box.
But in exchange for that we got Gorilla Glass 3, a more than solid quadcore CPU and a 720p display for under 200 bucks (if you got the 8gb version)! And while the buttons wiggle they still have a nice clicky feedback.
If you want a phone with better build quality you should buy a phone within a different price range^^ But to be honest, I expected the build quality to be much worse. This actually strikes me as a pretty solidly built phone.

Take the back off, slide in a tiny bit of paper down the buttons, re-attach back, no more rattling

The camera is, surprisingly enough, relatively decent. I reckon that Motorola's skinned camera app is at fault, which is why everyone is quibbling over such subtle minutia. A phone with a five megapixel camera that snaps decent photos is more than enough for most people.
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The camera is alright. It's good enough for sharing some photos on social networks and that is all you really need it for anyway^^
It's obvious that they tried to cut some corners with the camera but they didn't go too far with it. It's still a useful camera and not just utter garbage.
