Am almost certain my XZ is faulty but would like to see if anyone is having a similar experience. When the device is charging, slide your finger across the back of the phone. I can feel an ever so slightly current. Like a vibration in my finger. Putting g my ear up to the Phone and I can hear it.
Seems to me like my phone has a really bad grounding issue

Okay, turns out this is apparently normal behaviour.

Hi.
My TF700 has a faint buzzing / humming sound coming from the back.
I can only hear it around left dock connector or if i put my ear on the back side of the tablet around that area.
I think is screen related as is only produced when screen is on.
Does anyone/everyone has it or is some kind of defect on mine ?

No buzzing here. That seems like something is wrong.

Buzzing sounds like a short. Take it back.

Kind of, actually more like a power convertor, like the sound you can hear from some laptop power converters.
Probably there is no short circuit, more likely a bad solder or a faulty component.
It 100% has to do with the screen because when the screen is off there is no sound even if the cpu not sleeping (adb, music, ...), maybe has to do with dynamic contrast witch probably many disable but can't test for obvious reason that i don't want to break warranty so please specify if posible if you stock rom or custom.
Unfortunately send back is not so easy as the device was bought from US and brought to me by a friend and I'm on the other side of the world.
Does Asus has international warranty for them ?
Last night I was using my shield tablet and I heard a noise when I touched the screen...thought it might be the speakers so I turned them down and could still hear it, so I put my ear to back of tablet and can hear buzzing when the screen is touched or when an app is running, and it I play a high graphic game its pretty loud.
Is this normal sound of the K1 processor? Anyone else had this before? Wanna know do I need to return it or not!
Thanks
Same here.

I'm curious about this too. I also thought it was speaker buzz but it's not.

Guess no one helps here...found this though.... forums.geforce.com/default/topic/785841/shield-tablet/noise-near-from-the-speaker-opposite-side-from-hdmi-/
Seems like its normal to hear the processor and nothing to worry about!

been reading about this and couldn't stop until i found a satisfactory answer, so i kept digging and found this :
" This 'whine' or 'squeal' is the sound of these things ( inductors, coils or chokes ) physically vibrating, and it is a sign that they are poorly insulated. However this does not mean they have a shorter lifespan than a coil that does not whine and you really shouldn't lose sleep over it.
Why do they only whine when the PC is under load? What you're hearing is an effect of the PWM frequency, and as you pull more current through the inductor it induces a greater magnetic field in itself and in turn vibrating more aggressively.
Will it go away? Well, Possibly. My 8800GT squealed like a piglet in a housefire for months, and one day the noise disappeared completely. Either some characteristics of the circuit had changed or the windings in the coil had shifted.
Can you stop it? As most people know, you can stop inductors whining by chucking hot glue at them, putting high voltage putty around them, or soaking them in resin and waiting for them to set. Most (apart from PSU) inductors in PCs are covered anyway, so you can't properly silence them.
"
cheers
Does anyone else have an issue with the vibration motor making a weird noise? Almost like it's not stuck in the phone properly. When I squeeze the phone it stops, as soon as I let go the sound returns.

Sounds like you have a problem,my vibrate is quite loud but not as electronic sounding as yours.Mine is more deep bassey almost
If it also makes that sound when flat on a table or in your hand instead of on the case, then something is wrong indeed.

Just looking at your video again. When you lift it up from the surface it sounds more like it does on mine

Yes, it does it whenever the phone vibrates. Makes no difference if it's in the case, out, flat on the table etc. Only stops when I pinch the phone.
I'll start a chat with Oneplus for a repair order
Oh **** that's not good. Mine sounds tinny but solid. Not as nice as phones like the LG V30, but acceptable. Definitely that sounds bad. Take it back for warranty replacement IMO
I had the same problem and had to reduce the intensity of vibration via settings. Working is acceptable since then.
Only that it scared me when it suddenly started up.

Sounds like you have a unique vibrator that no other phone has. Embrace it or... You should probably replace, because that's an actual moving part, and if not to spec, it could lead to a catastrophic failure, whatever that means.

That's one way to look at it. You're a glass half full kinda guy
I've send it back to OnePlus for repair monday, should have it back tomorrow. Happy for the quick repair by OnePlus.
I have the same exact problem. The strong vibration setting causing it but when I put it on medium its fine.
*Man, it would take like 2 weeks to get my phone back, I don't know if I should sent it for repair or not. :/
I have the same problem. Contacted OnePlus via live chat and was told this is normal and it happens on her OnePlus phone on strong vibration setting.
I decided to check on YouTube to see where the vibration motor is located. Put the phone down on a flat hard surface, applied a little pressure on the bottom half of the phone by holding phone by the sides. This seems to have 'fixed' it for me for now.
Looks like it is not 'normal' behaviour as the lady in customer services suggested. Probably just a slight quality control issue.
edit: seems it was temporary 'fix'. Rattling is back.
My launch-week OP6 just developed this issue. Leads me to believe it might be something like an adhesive working loose over time. Thank you for this thread. I've put my call vibration on medium (was high) which seems to alleviate it.
I have sent my OP6 for repair. Dropped it off at the local UPS service location, it is going from the UK to Poland. Lets see how long the turnaround will be and what, if anything, they do to fix this.
Checked the RMA tracking today and apparently the fault has been fixed. Spoke to someone on OnePlus live chat who said the vibration motor was faulty and has now been replaced.
Took a total of 4 days to receive the phone back. Vibration motor replaced and no longer rattles when set to 'Strong'. Now just restoring apps and data on the phone.

Have the same issue in strong vibration setting. Open a service ticket with OnePLus. Did you send your phone with the original retail box ???,

OnePlus provided a return label to send from UK to Poland. I packed the phone in the original box for protection. Not necessary to send back in original box but has to be packed securely.
I have the same problem with the strange vibration sound.... But it only happens sometimes.
The noise comes from the metal power button and volume button. Nothing to be worried about. Its annoying but you can fix it by using full back cover.
Hello people,
I've just found a very awkward bug on my device and I would like to share it with you. If you can try to reproduce it it would be interesting. Otherwise if you have any sort of information or things you could tell me to understand I'd very interested in them.
Basically, if I put my OP6 on my Bose Soundlink mini 2, screen on the left side, the screen will turn off whatever I'm doing. On other positions 99% of the time the screen won't turn off but sometimes if I keep moving around it eventually turns off.
I've tried with another phone and nothing happens. I've tried with my OP6 on other surfaces (computer, external battery, any kind of table) and nothing happens.
Of course I've made a video to make it clearer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWOGcxfUdFM
So in case you have a bluetooth speaker or even the same as me, please give it a try. I'm very curious about your result.
I'm running Android Pie Stable with magisk and TWRP. No custom kernel. Bluetooth off, NFC off.

This is pure speculation so please bear with me.
There are phone cases with cover that lock the screen when you close them.
I'm not sure but I believe those cover have some sort of magnet in them so the phone can detect there proximity.
As speakers are just big magnets, maybe you're bt speaker triggers the sensor and therefore locking the phone.
I had the same thing happening when I put my phone on a particular spot of my laptop. If I put it just right, probalby the speaker of my phone above the lid detection sensor of my laptop, my laptop would go into standby.
Quite funny to see this poping up here.
Hope this speculation helps you uncover the wondrous mysteries that is the oneplus 6

That makes a lot of sense. That's also why when I take my OP6 off my speaker the screen turns on. Problem solved
But if there was a way to disable it it'd be good.
I just tested it on mine.
A magnet to the top of the phone over the ear speaker turns the display off, and when you remove the magnet, it turns back on.
So I would say your theory is correct.
It's NFC?

Nope, as I stated, I disabled it and my speaker doesn't have NFC. As stated above, it's a magnet thing meant for cases.

Hello fellow U12+ owners.
I noticed something annoying while making a phone call today. If I move the phone, I can hear a sound coming from the back of phone. The sound can be also headed while shaking the phone. I haven't noticed the sound before.
I remember back in my M7 days, the camera lens was moving and that made the sound.
Anyone else with this 'problem'?
me too!
seems like it is caused by the ill-design
the vibrator hits the base when its motor is rotating
try to turn down the motor voltage using custome kernel

the motor rotating? the motor is rectangle, it can't rotate inside.
when I shake the phone, it sounds like the cam/OIS is moving there. nothing serious

i may misunderstand you
but u12+ do have vibrate motor, and it makes a clicky sound when the motor stops on my phone.
i tried to shake my phone, but didn't hear the sound you mentioned.

The vibration motor in the u12+ is rectangular, not round as it was in previous and other phones.
It might be that you have a defective device, so that when the vibration motor stops, it will have a click sound because it's not properly fixed.
And well, the sound it hear... I don't know myself if it's really the cam. But the phone works fine, so I don't care if there is such a sound when shaking, because... When do you shake your phone ?
I heard it near the cam, don't know if it's really the cam or something else
