Hi guys, I am just curious if anyone else's camera button makes any noise when pressed? I know it is a 2 stage button but when I press it on it it makes a kind of cracking sound that is quite audible.
Thanks.
hmm my camera button is fine, it does produce a noise but not too clicky..
I get that too, didn't really notice it till you mentioned it. Im guessing its normal. You only notice it if you double press fast. I usually am a little slow lol.
Thanks for the replies! Glad to see it is probably normal. It is much noisier when actuating both points at once.

I swear I am hearing my camera randomly focus. You know that click sound it makes when you turn it on? It makes that noise every once in a while. I know they might do that if you tap them or something but this is then im holding it swapping through apps. It seems like it does it a lot when I hold the home button but that could just be me... Anyone else have the same going on??
EDIT: Woot for good spelling on the thread title!
Am I the only one??
Ive had this since last year, and prior to sending my unit in to get the back of the unit replaced (plastic tabs holding the bezel have broken over time, and it allows the bezel to be pulled away from the unit...), I never had this issue!
What issue? Well whenever I take a picture, or switch from the front camera to the rear camera there is an audible clicking sound, almost like the shutter is initializing, my problem is, that I never had this issue prior to sending it in!
I called Asus and they said (more like the guy was told) that it was "normal", however I have found VIA googling that it doesnt seem to be normal at all.
Does anyone else with a TF101 have this issue? (Majority at least, or are me and a few others needing to get this repaired?)
Thanks!
EDIT: this is NOT the shutter sound that plays through the speakers, this literally comes from the rear camera unit itself, not the speakers!
EDIT2: with 58 views and no replys, I want to know if you do or dont have the clicking sound, either way works, no need for drive-by's
The clicking nose is the rear camera turning on. I have it when powering up the TF or switching camera from front to rear.
It's very faint but it has always been there for me.

same here! always when i turn on my device.
surely i never heard that "sound" when i take a picture. only at the start up.
Yeah I have never heard it before, its not quiet at all... its really very loud for me...
Im just gonna send it in again... its that annoying! (Its ALMOST as loud as the shutter sound when its turned on :/ )
Yea i've the sound too, can hear it during start up, and when swaping between front and rear camera.

Im guessing I had it as well, the difference however is that now its loud enough to compete with the shutter sound (I normally turn it off, but fresh from repair its factory reset, so i took a picture, and turned the sound off and the clicking was almost as loud as the shutter sound)... where before I dont ever remember hearing it at all (I never put my ear to it like some people say they have to to hear it)
I could hear it through the gumdrop case I have for it!
So, I've been suffering from low call volume during calls and I thought my speaker was just really low, or it was a hardware issue, or something. I was reading a forum on another website, and a user had mentioned using a toothbrush to just scrub the speaker grill, anyways I did it and it worked it was just really dirty now I can hear perfectly fine and the notification is really bright too. I actually had to turn the in call volume down. Just give it a shot, you don't really have anything to lose. Hoped I helped.
Hmm, interesting. I would not think simply cleaning the grill holes would make that much of a difference. I don't have any issue with call volume, but good to know. Here is your first "Thanks"!
I will try when I get home.. I can't even use the speaker for calls, I have to use the speakerphone lol. It is so extremely low. I think mine is a hardware issue. I will let you know though.

Uh I will be the first to say it worked! Lol. Didn't think it would but I bought a cheap toothbrush and went to town on the front and back speaker grills. I can actually hear both of them now, in ear calls and the back speaker. Thanks a lot! And here I was about to order parts for it to get repaired.

I can second this. Could barely hear anything in call, but those little holes had lots of debris clogging them. Used a small pin to clear the holes and for once i had to turn the volume down!

I used to have to do this every so often for my palm pre+, I used compressed air though.

Compressed air? I think that might cause some problems, a toothbrush should be sufficient.
Lol... try cleaning your ears aswell .. u might go deaf... cause one x ear phone is loud.. real loud
I think you just saved my One X from the bin with this suggestion. Now I can actually use it as a phone!
Just a warning. I did this last night with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. I think it pushed some of the gunk into the power button switch because now it's not picking up every push. If I press the power button hard it will react, but it didn't require much force prior to the cleaning. My LED is much brighter though.

The power button is a attached to a ribbon cable that comes up on the back side of the display and lays at the top edge of the phone. I don't see how you could have reached it by brushing the surface of the phone. Its above the front camera.
I also wanted to add that there is a foam material in front of the actual speaker, I'm sure to absorb moisture and soften sound a bit so I wouldn't worry about pushing anything into the speaker too much with a tooth brush.
Adding:
Absolutely TRUE. I don't know how many times I have had the phone apart and I never thought to do this. The LED is SUPER bring and easy to see now and the call volume is better!
OMFG
It Works!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this great tip!! Couldn't hear anything when walking in traffic, but this helped a lot! Plus the LED is so bright now!
amazing!
It worked! I thought it was my ROM but this is incredible! Thank you!

Yeah, i thought is was my new ROM too because i just changed it, but the toothbrush worked great!
One tip., when the dirt is there for some time(like mine) u REALLY have to pinch trough the little holes to clear them.
Another happy customer..thanks!!!
Also Try This
I posted previously confirming this as a fix. I noticed that I still sometimes suffered from low in call volumes. Here's the fix. While in the call lower your volume all the way and then bring it back up. I am running an AOKP on my galaxy note 2 and I discovered this fix which confirmed my initial belief that it might be my rom or simply the fact that I rooted my device that caused this problem.
Hey check my other reply to this thread
It might help you too!

Just wondering if anyone us hearing an audible clicking noise coming from the phone when typing with vibrate on keypress switched on. For me it's every five or so key presses there is an audible click noise, as if the vibrating part hits something.it's not too loud, but loud enough to be heard. If you use a keyboard that lets you change the vibration duration, shorter durations such as 10ms or below results in it happening every keypress.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I had this too on 2 Moto G.

Did you also hear the same noise when going in and out of the camera?
Just wanted to know if it's normal really or if I should be seeking a replacement. Have a feeling it's going to get annoying!
I get them both too, don't think it's anything to worry about.
The camera one is something to do with auto focus as far as I'm aware, and I use Google Keyboard from the Play store with swiping to type so I don't notice the haptic feedback one as much any more.

This is driving me slowly nuts. I type pretty fast using SwiftKey which seems to make it more noticeable. I guess the shorter it vibrates the more it clicks or taps or whatever it's doing to make the annoying noise.
Is there anyone that DOESN'T get this? I'm seriously tempted to return it at this point in the hope of getting one that doesn't make a tapping clicking noise when it vibrates on touch. So it would be good to know if there are people out there who haven't experienced this.
I have two Moto G's at the moment.
The first one has a permanently stuck on blue pixel in the middle of the screen.
So I bought another (to transfer across and then refund the first). The second unit has this click with haptics.
The tone of the vibrate / haptic is noticeably different between the two phones too (the clicking unit sounds much buzzier).
So thumbs up for Moto Quality Control...
I took the phone which makes this noise with the haptics on apart, and can confirm that the noise is not from the buttons on the side rattling or any other part in the back of the phone. It sounds to me like it is making some component of the earpiece or the front camera rattle.
For anyone interested, here is a photo of the inside of the back cover that I took:

So we have one person confirming that at least one device does not have the rattling vibration. Mine definitely has this and it's sounding from those I've asked that it is more common than not. Well this sucks. I guess I can go without haptic at all. Because it's darn annoying. Sounds like a cheap toy. I'm still slightly tempted to return mine and see if the next one they send does not have the rattle.

Does yours sound like that? It's really annoying and sould like a defect. At least I hope that's a defect because it's horrible.

From those I've talked with, that's actually the more common experience. If you don't have the rattle, you lucked out.

I think you are correct - at least for units currently on sale via Tesco in the UK. My update - 3 of the 4 I've had through my hands have had the rattle. 2 have had stuck pixels (one which disappeared of it's own accord). So:
Phone 1: Quiet vibrate + 1 perma-stuck pixel + case corner creaking
Phone 2: Clicky vibrate
Phone 3: Clicky vibrate + stuck pixel (fixed itself)
Phone 4: Clicky vibrate
Did you buy through Tesco? I wonder if they got em cheap... they are certainly selling them cheaper than everywhere else.
I am beginning to think this is a characteristic - but it does detract a bit from the experience (especially with haptics turned on at the factory).
You could reduce the haptic duration for the AOSP keyboard which improves things while texting (try 10-13ms), and disable system haptics for other stuff.
Guys, did we get a conclusion if this is normal on this device? Mine does this as well.
Thanks

I think it is pretty normal. It's just cheap. Although it just might be a failure to properly attach the vibrating mechanism to whatever it attaches too. I have talked to some people with even the Moto x and they said that all of a sudden one day, theirs started making this sound. As if it detached. I have also seen a Nexus 4 with the issue.
In all likelihood, if you got a different Moto G, it will have the same issue. But it's really not bad at all if you turn haptic feedback off in general and for the your keyboard input.
Hello.
I've gotten pretty frustrated with using my 3a for a while now regarding this specific issue, the call volume is just always super low and makes using the default phone app unbearable because I can hardly hear the other person, it is ALWAYS at max volume btw.
I just genuinely do not understand why the call volume is so low whilst the other volumes (media, alarms, etc) don't seem to have this issue and I can even get additional apps to boost the volume for those- but not the call volume.
It seems to have gotten worse just several days ago when some liquid hit the grill , so now instead of it sounding like someone is 3 feet away from the phone, it just sounds like 6 feet away. But even with this situation, it did NOTHING to my other volume settings.
Is there anything I can do to improve the loudness at all without depending on headphones? I would prefer having the phone on my ear , especially since calls on headphones literally echo whatever gets picked up on my microphone back to me I just honestly hate it.
Get a replacement phone. That's not normal. My call volume gets loud.

Is that really the only possible solution here...?
Everything else is fine...I just cannot find a way to make the call volume louder, just seems like Im stuck putting it on speakers or using headphones at the moment.
