I Just dropped my pixel 3. Now i noticed am rattling sound when shacking the phone and tapping next to the camera. Is this normal? I did not noticed it before.
I know a lot of phones have it and that' it has something to do with the OIS .

My P2XL has had it for a year now. Everything works fine though. I just don't shake it, therefore, I don't hear it

It's the optical image stabilization and it's normal. I only really notice it if I tap rather hard on the top of the screen. I got used to it because my P2XL did the same thing.

First off.. The speakers.
The bottom speaker sounds much lower. The top speaker souns much louder and more crisp while playing music etc.. Should it be like this?
Second.. The camera is laggy. In all kinds of modes, while looking around it feels like watching with low FPS. I had a z1 before and it was totaly fluid. My z3 is only fluid while recording a video.
also, i have 1 dead pixel..
I bought this phone 3 weeks ago and had to return it after a week because i had no time to return it earlier. The power button and volume up rocker was very hard to press and had no feeling of a buttom. Mostly like a sirup drenched remote controll. They returned the phone to me, today by only replacing the buttons.
Please answear my questions asap <3 I think i might have to bring out my knuckles on this one and tell them to give me a new one or ill take legal actions.
Buttons are a bit hard but, I got used to it its not that bad, at least for me. I have heard some got mismatched speakers but mine seems to have equal speakers. Try and ask for a replacement/repair for the speakers.

I don't percieve much lag. And yes clarity "seems" the same to me in both speakers.
Camera app is fine on mine although I do select Manual 20mp and image stabiliser. IF it's laggy, the picture takes fine even when moving. Just use a steady hand
Top speaker is louder and bassier than the bottom one. Think its normal on this phone.
1 Dead pixel isn't enough to replace a screen I believe with tv's it's 3 or 4, so maybe the same with the phone?

Have you tried turning off the s-surround or whatever it's called in audio settings ? It affects the speakers.
About the dead pixel - if it's just one, they might refuse to replace it. There is an "acceptable" number stated for all LCD screens.

The lagginess is though not after the picture is taken. Its while observing, feels like playing a heavy game on a old computer.
Hmm fine pictures even while moving? I just tried auto mode and manual mode with different iso settings and with and without stabilizer. It seems that even the sligtest move and the picture gets really foggy and blurred.
About the speakers, yeah.. It seems like it
S mode is off.
Hi, I have found something curious. When I start shacking my phone I can hear noise coming from the top part of it, it sounds like a loose screw or something like that do you also have it? Is it a camera stabilization or my device is broken and I should replace it?

Likely the camera OIS module, I find just about any phone makes some sort of loose item noise if you shake it hard enough. My Pixel 2 also has a rattle though it's pretty muted compared to other phones I've had.

I just now picked up my Nexus 5x and shook it, and it seems you are correct - it makes a rattling sound also (as if something is loose). It's not surprising though, considering how many times I've dropped/tossed it, both accidentally and purposefully. I wonder if it made that noise when I first got it...
Stop shaking your phone!
Seriously though, just the ois module. Your phone is fine. lol

Yes, replacement is same
I noticed a loose sounding noise if I tap the top of the phone on the left or right edge or behind the earpiece. At first I also thought it might be the OIS. But then I notice I get a similar sound from the speaker at the bottom, if I tap the phone on the bottom edge.
Then I checked on my old Nexus 4, which does not have OIS, and it makes exactly the same type of slight rattling sound if I tap the phone on the top edge by the earpiece.
So I think there is some sort of moving part in cell phone speakers (after all something has to move to create sound waves) that rattles a little if you tap or shake the phone in the right way.

Are you joking? Because that makes no sense. I hear this type of rattling coming from the top speaker. And I hear it separately coming from the bottom speaker. There is only one haptic feedback engine in the phone so it could not produce a rattling noise in two different places in the phone. (Also from Jerry Rig's teardown, we know the haptic feedback engine is in the bottom of the phone, so it can't explain a rattling noise coming from the top of the phone.)

I didn't say haptic feedback, you said haptic feedback.
I also clearly said that it was the same type of noise coming from both the top and bottom of the phone, which means it would have to be the speakers, since that's the only thing there are two of, one in each of those positions. And I said that I had the same type of noise coming from the earpiece on my Nexus 4. So the whole point of my first post was that I was ruling out OIS, which others had suggested, and felt pretty confident the sound comes from the speakers. I wasn't looking for suggestions. I was explaining my reasoning for why it seems like it's the speakers that make the sound.

My LG K4 2017 ($100 smart phone with headphone jack) phone doesn't. Galaxy S6 doesn't. Galaxy S8 doesn't. Lol, so no, not all phones do it. Only google specifically ones (that are defective) which make these noise lol.

As I explain in my posts, I think the slight rattling noise actually comes from the speakers, not the OIS. I think the OIS guess is wrong. I've explain my reasons in more detail above.
However, in order to get the sound you have to tap the edge of the phone in just the right place and just the right way. It's easy to shake or tap the phone and not get the sound at all. So I'm pretty sure I could get this sound on all of the phones you mentioned. In fact, next time I'm in a carrier store I'll try the S8. I think it's just something speakers do. I've tried several different model phones and they all do it.
Has anyone noticed a very slight rattling sound when you shake the phone very hard coming from the top of the phone...?
Could it be the Cameras or the Speaker possibly?
I am being a bit paranoid as I dropped the phone face flat on the floor but had ZERO damage, dent, scratch or anything.
Am I being overly paranoid????
That's interesting. I've also got a rattle. I've dropped the phone a couple of times, but not onto hard surfaces. Everything is working, so I assume it's probably nothing to worry about!

That's just the OIS in the camera lens. Every phone that have OIS do that. The lens needs to move to compensate the hand shaking. If you search for "JerryRigEverything teardown" on youtube he usually test the camera and you can see the movement of the lens. For example with this p40 pro teardown

Today accidentally discovered that the phone has a rattle to it. Never dropped or anything. First, I thought it was the S-Pen, but even with the pen out, there is still a rattle that seems to be coming from the camera module. Anyone else's phone does that? Is it normal or should I try swapping the unit?
Its just the camera lens don't worry my last 3 Notes have done it
Thanks. Found the videos talking about the same issue on S20+. Guess it's normal. Never noticed it before on any of my Sammies. Must be a "new phone paranoia". ?

Larger the camera the more it floats until you turn on the camera. Hence more noise. I would also suggest it's more sensitive while the camera is on to a hard hit /damage.

I am experiencing that same rattle too. It seems to go away when i turn on the camera, so this is definitely due to the much talked about rattle that the camera module had with the S20 Ultra as well..
I must say that the rattle is rather annoying and random and especially annoying when i have the phone in my pocket while jogging..At least it is good to know that it is not a faulty unit but rather a feature of the lens system.
I am getting a faint clicking noise whenever I exit the camera app. I can feel it on the device too. Is this normal?

Thanks, I suppose this is due to the different camera setup. I'm coming from a Note 9, which had OIS and is completely silent, but then again it doesn't have the new sensors.
Also remember when camera has stabilisation in it that could cause the rattle noise from camera since camera itself moves when you shake the phone.
I hardly hear rattle in mine but when I face screen down I can hear a loud click from camera area and then when I face it back up with screen up I hear the click again.
So yeah camera is basically moving or it's lenses.
This is normal as long you don't see any defect in camera when using it.

Yeah I read about the rattling when shaking the device, but nothing about noise when the camera app exits...
I had the same issue. I had battery and overheating issues as well so i requested an exchange device. The old device had the rattle however i noticed the new one doesn't. Really think Samsung messed up QC with this device.
Interesting... Samsung doesn't have any stock of my device to exchange at the moment, otherwise I'd have probably asked for one. I'll see how it pans out over the next few days...
Without the camera app open when uou hold the device flat then tilt it up 90 degrees you'll hear it click every time, it doesn't matter if it's in landscape or portrait view. With the camera app open you don't hear it. One of the lens uses electromagnets for stabilization, without the camera app open the lens is moving around since there is no power going to the magnets.

I have had my Note 20 ultra for 2 days and only this afternoon have I noticed this very loud rattle. I swear 100% that it wasn't there before. It also happens that this afternoon was the first time I tried wirelessly charging my phone. Is it possible that the wireless charger has somehow messed with the magnets that control the lens module?! I'm really annoyed and might send it back.

It's totally unacceptable for a 1399 device. Return it until you get a good one. By which time the note 21 ultra will be out. ?? Because they are all like that. I've had three different regional variants of the Note 20 Ultras, all same.
Buyers remorse has many faces.

Has anyone tried to shake their Mi 10 Ultra shaking in left-right direction?
I can hear some "ball" stuffs hitting edges. Something like "liquid paper correction pen" sound when you shake it.
I didn't notice this until now. Is it okay?
I believe is the camera stabilization module. Nothing to worry about.

I also noticed this but since I couldn't find any problem with the phone operation I decided to let this go.
lol i just made same thread on xiaomi.eu forum... guess is everything normal so xD
Everything is normal, don't worry. Due to the camera system there are parts moving around. The same is observer on other phones too. For example for S20 the same can be observed and there are long threads on the forums. Someone explained it as:
"This isn't a problem. It is just the lenses of the camera moving around when not being used. The lenses are stabilized with electromagnetism. When they aren't used, they will move around as there are no gears or mechanics to hold it into place. "
