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.

Yeah the only thing to worry about would be shaking your phone repeatedly and maybe damaging something if you do it all the time ?

oh ya just took my good old pixel 3 xl and shake it. It makes the sound too.
Thanks. Didn't notice this for years. :laugh:
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. "

Hey guys I just got my moto g and i just noticed that there is a clicking noise when i turn the camera on or off. I'm not sure if I damaged it or if it's just the nature of the phone.
Thanks!

I think they all do it.
This happens to all moto Gs. I think it's just the nature of the phone. There was a thread about this on the moto g support forums and it seems this is normal

me too and i try to ignore it
This is normal, also had it in my old xperia U, figured it was the tiny camera lens getting "ready" and back to a secured position when turned off.
Just tested this now, it seems to make a popping sound when you launch and close the camera they seem to be different volumes too with closing making a louder noise, how stange. Maybe the tiny motor kicking in for OIS
Edit: maybe not as a quick search reveals this camera has no OIS.

It does have focus control though which equally requires a moving element.
phew! thanks guys for the help. i was getting worried that my phone got damaged or something. i also thought that the camera was getting ready to shoot like many of you said but i guess there's no need to worry now. i guess you cant really complain about anything about this phone especially with this AMAZING price tag and performance. I just got my 4.4 update btw. SOO excited to see how it runs

Second that, but if you are a detail freak you might be annoyed by some of the corners that are being cut to keep the cost so low. Still, the cheapest place in the UK with stock are Tesco's and they'll take returns til the cows come home, so nothing really to lose.
My old HTV EVO (WiMax) did this also, so I'm pretty sure its normal. It was especially noticeable during boot-up.

I think it's Auto Focus mechanism. In Moto Defy it was really loud. Also the volume buttons make similar noise to camera's.
Hi!
So I've been using my Mi 4C for like one and a half month now. Since day one a noticed a shaking sound from the rear camera area whenever I put in on its back on a table or simply tap the area, is anyone experiencing the same? It is as if some part in the camera is moving a tiny bit, so it's not really effecting my use of the phone, it's more about if I should do something about it.
Im noticing the very same thing from day one. I thought it was just me having accidentally knocked the phone too hard to something, but since everything works without any issues, it doesnt seem to be the case.

I honestly thought it was just mine! Also noticed it from day one. I think I saw a metal shield over the processor area in a teardown, I am pretty sure that it's the source of the noise as it is exactly the spot where the sound is coming from. I don't thinj it is anything whatsoever to fuss about, but it does take some of the otherwise quality feel from the phone.
I was thinking the same thing, except from that the phone feels very "robust" for its price tag but since others seems to have the same noise I guess it's how it's "suppose" to be...
Mine has it too and my Mi4i had it also...
Doesn't happen here, I even place my ear close to the phone. Could it be a defect for one production batch that didn't happen on mine?
Mine too.
It's normal, think it's the optics. Had many phones with this. Including nexus 4 and a little bit on one plus one too.

You have to shake the phone right way in order to hear it. Seems like flat area up and down movement causes it mostly. Ex. If you put the phone on desk.
Alternatively that part may be stuck somehow in your device
Same here, it reminds me of the rattle in the iTouch 5G camera.

Done, I still don't hear anything. Why the hell am I looking for it anyway? :3
So from what I can tell from all of the answers the noise is obviously something many seem to have, but it seems normal and not harmful. If anybody happens to open up their phone they could maybe have a look in that area, but personally I think it comes from within the camera... (I might open mine up if I find a good place to buy the dark grey back cover...)
My camera is really rattly and doesnt secure in the closed position!
Its ****ing disgusting of a sound when I put in down on a table, is this normal?
Really kills ALL fun I can have with this device
Mine seems pretty OK. No rattling when I control the camera.
There might be some quality control issues. I've seen a few mention rattling but most say theirs is fine. So with that in mind it sounds like you risk having to RMA the device when you get it.
My camera was rattling too if I did not use the Quick Control Button to retreat the camera regularily because the camera is hitting the case even when shaking it.
I fixed it by placing a strip of duct tape under the camera and now it is silent.
The same problem with my flipcam.
Mine works fine.

Duct tape on a phone? 2019.?
No thanks
My camera is firm and doesnt rattle, it does make some noise when the camera moves but thats to be expected I think.
Well, it seems as if it's going to be a crap shoot whether you get one that rattles or not? Too risky unless we get way more reviews saying that it doesn't rattle.

Difficult to say with such a small sample size.
Could be 1%, 5%, 20%, 50% or 90% with issues. The quality control might get better or the mechanism might just have that bad yields. So right now we have to assume it's either a small number of devices or first batch problems. I find it hard to believe they'd bring a device to market with glaring issues. You never know though.

Yes and it isn't comparable.
This is a quality control issue from the factory. I haven't heard anyone say it started rattling later (nor does it seem there would be time to start breaking the device through regular use unless it's sensitive and starts rattling from dust and debris).
The Fold worked fine at the factory and testing in a controlled environment did not reveal the fragility of the design. Otherwise we may as well bring up Note 7 too. That's also a design flaw.
Since not all models rattle it isn't necessarily a design flaw but one of quality and yields. Of course Asus is welcome to make a statement on what causes the issue.
Mine also rattle when put down on table and same with just tapping the screen. Otherwise it is good. Weird that no review mentioned this, not even tech tablets. If the phone didn't cost 570 euro, but 250 euro I would not mind, but I'm going to return it, it is unacceptable for the price.
Mine doesn't rattle when closed, but also doesn't open fully. It sits at a slight angle when open, so I have to press "volume up" for a second to straighten it. As far as I can see there's no calibration tool for camera angle. This might help solve both problems.
Mine rattle to
the camera opens a little whenever I was fast walking with the phone in my pocket or when I wear lose pants but I fixed it by adding 2 strips of tape behind the camera :/
I found out that the rattle is coming from the hinge at the side where the volume buttons are
picked it up from table https://youtu.be/QcbjNwhLVIE ...
EDIT:
To clarify - this is how it always is, but it happens - lets say once a day - camera just get _more_ loose by itself. I will create another video how it is all the time (it is still pretty bad in quiet environment) - but it will be harder to catch with one hand holding camera phone.

Can other users of this phone confirm if it is a faulty unit or it is "normal" behaviour? Camera module seems to be wonky and loose, not firmly closed/locked. No reviewers mention this problem.
Mine moves a little bit too.
And 2 strips of tape help. I'm fine with 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.
