note 10.1 whistle and speakers stay open

Hey guys i bought my note 10.1 2 days ago and i am very happy with it!
But 2 things are bothering me
1: sometimes the speakers whistle i think when low battery and mucg cpu load iguess
2: before the wistle starts you can hear that the speakers are open, when you put your ear close to the speaker. Its static sound abit.
Should i go back to the store ? Does a update fix this (running 4.0.4)? Is it normal ?

Does it sound like a electric popup when the speaker is activated and deactivated? If yes I've had mine exchanged due a faulty speaker, this doesnt happen on my new one.

I had this problem too.

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?
Cheers

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 dont hear anything.

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.

i have it but under the flash

I have it under the flash to but not as much. Would be interested if anyone else has this to.

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.

So you have it aswell?

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?
Cheers

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

Do you hear it to?

anyone else?

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?...

It also happens when the camera isn't on though.

Rattle sound by camera

I've heard of folks having rattle sounds from a loose power button, but that's not the case with me. I hear a rattle sound from the camera if I shake the phone or if the haptic feedback is used like when I'm typing. Is this normal or do I have something that needs to be fixed? Thanks!

This, the lens actually moves

Ok, that's what I was thinking, but it just seemed odd.

Phone speakers?

Just curious as to how many speakers are on the bottom of the N5. I see two speaker spots. But sound only comes from the one on the left (with phone screen facing me) . Is this the same for everyone?

The forum does have a search function...
As stated several times: one is a speaker, one is the microphone.

The left one's the speaker. The other one is the mic! The device has a single speaker :silly:

Such a big mic grill. Lol. Thought it was a speaker.

... and people still complain that they have low quality with the mic :cyclops: JK! (Nothing to do with the holes)
I think the mic grill is made that way to even out the design. Having different sized grills one beside the other would have looked ugly IMHO.

I agree. Glad that they didn't do that. Would have been better with a pin hole mic and a second speaker behind that grill. Lol

Sounds like a loose part inside?

Whenever I hold my phone upright and tap toward the top of the screen (even very lightly), the phone makes a weird clicking sound coming from inside. It sounds to me like the small vibrating spinning part that makes the phone vibrate. I don't know if it's just my model of the device of if this is normal but it's very annoying and noticeable. Also, if I shake the phone even a little I can hear the clicky sound. Not sure if I should take it back and replace it but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem first?

I have this. Just notice it now. Can hear it from shaking the top of the phone back and forth

Honestly guys, this sound has always been in HTC and Samsung devices that I've had, and to be honest I didn't hear it in my S4,ehich was Prolly the first device in a while where I wouldn't hear a rattle. Someone mentioned a long time ago that's its the part for the vibration/haptic but I don't see how that could be. But yes, I hear it too, and have no clue what the hell it is lol

Haha, holy cap, it really is the AutoFocus Sensor. Opening the camera, then tapping the phone, no rattle.
That's awesome, all this time, I had no idea. Appreciate the link

Interesting...so its the camera sensor
and when your camera is on, the noise goes away

Well that is disappointing. Guess I'm going to have to try and get used to it. Thanks for the info.

How is this dissapointing? I never even noticed this till I came across this thread
How much could you possibly be shaking your phone for this to be a problem?

Like I said, any time I even lightly tap the top area of the phone it makes that sound. I wouldn't mind personally if it's just when I shake the phone.

Lmao! Now I can't stop shaking my phone. Just noticed the noise because of this thread.

I assumed it was the pedometer.
