A couple of days ago I found out strange high-frequency whistling noise near the rear camera (I can hear it only if the camera is just near my ear). When the camera is active (in "Camera" app and so on) the noise slightly goes down. Even in fastboot and recovery modes sound doesn't disappear. If you (were) facing the same issue, please, tell how to fix it in this thread.

Does anyone of your NS make 'tick' sound? For example, when I capture a QR code, it makes very brief 'tick' sound. It's not the camera shutter sound. I can tell the difference...
I think there were few more instances where my NS makes tick sound but I can't recall.
it is app related, the barcodescanner makes an other sound than the camera app

I use Google Goggles. Would it be the same reason?
I think I had an instance with Google Camera app too. I can't recall though.
I honestly thought my camera didn't make such noise until few days back. I had this phone for more than 3 months now..
I've heard my Nexus S 'tick' after using Google Goggles but it doesn't happen all the time. Used to get it with my old SGS, too.
Only happens with Google Goggles though so its probably app related.

This tick sound is the mechanical focus mechanism of the camera lense. It continuously focuses from macro to infinity to reset in one short moment.
As hardly any application focuses repeatedly, except for let's say barcode readers, you won't hear that ticking in the standard camera app.
In a couple of days since buying my NS (9023) I noticed this click noise coming from the camera and quickly discovered it was from the camera's macro-to-infinity focus switch mechanism. The thing I would like to know if this happens to everybody else or is my NS "special" in some nasty way.
Also, sometimes after taking a macro pic the camera app gets stuck on displaying the picture taken without going back to the live-view camera screen to take the next picture. The only solution out of this is pressing the home button which makes the same clicking noise as above but louder. This makes me think that the macro switch mechanism inside the camera hardware gets stuck somehow.
Should I send it to be repaired? :-|
I work in ride-share and need a concealed video registrator so i am using my phone, however night quality is terrible when lights are off in the car, all i see is street lights.
Could you give me few android phone models that have good low light performance for front camera (face camera).
Optional i'd like to have front camera record horizontally wide video when phone is in vertical position (video orientation, 90 degree opposite to the screen orientation).

Is that normal? Lenses are crystal clean!!!!!!
You didn't keep the camera steady enough, try using a tripod for low light / long exposures
Low light keeps the shutter open for longer, so any tiny movements you make will show as blur like your photo
Hi, I have just this week got two POCO X3 phones, one each for myself and my wife.
We notice that when someone phones us, the callers side of the conversation can clearly be heard from several metres away, like when you have the "speaker phone" set to on. We have toggled the speaker phone on and off, it is defiantly loader with it on, but the problem is whilst it is off (not on speaker phone) our calls are not private, which is obviously not good.
When in a call the rear speaker which is under the back cover just below the camera, vibrates, and it also does this when you play music, like any good speaker it vibrates to the sound waves etc, we can live with this playing music, but not whilst in a call.
ideal solution would be to automatically switch off the rear speaker whilst the phone is being used for calls.
Has anyone else experienced this problem here, there are several posts on the internet complaining about this problem with the POCO X3 but no solutions as yet. I am waiting to hear back from Mi (Xiaomi)
Thanks for reading, hopefully its is in the right part of the forum.
This happens because POCO X3 has metallic frame.
Update it to latest version the developers now limited the maximum sound phone can produce so now it doesn't vibrates.
Or just go to accessibility > hearing and balance the speakers to only right side. The vibration is due to left speakers (upper one)
And reduce the volume while in call so none can hear conversation.
When i make a video call the other users report that they hear a high pitched sound from me for a few seconds.
I read that when loudspeaker is on and i make a videocall the top mic is used. Have you experienced a similar issue? I believe that when the front camera pops out and then the sound of the motor is sent through the mic next to it.
