Does anyone else's IR blaster rattle and feel loose? When I tap mine it rattles and I was curious if you guys can check your so I know if it's common or not. Thanks
same with mine.

No rattle here.
Mine is tight, with no rattling.
Think it's something I should return and swap for a new one?
I've got rattle here
Nah I got a tiny rattle too.
It's just a tolerance clearance. It's better a tiny bit under instead of being in compression and over.

I did not. Ended up just keeping it as I figured I had a 50% chance of continually getting one with a rattle.

So I just dropped my phone from about 4 feet. Now there is this noise above front-face camera on the top of the phone. I layed the phone down....from top to botton on the desk and heard a strange noise. I was suspicious so then I tapped the phone (camera area) with my hand and the noise reappeared. The bottom part of the phone is fine, nothing coming out of it. I think some parts or loose are something. I checked the battery cover and it seemed fine. Everything was locked and in place. And I took it off and tested it again by tapping the phone on my palm and the noise came back. I checked the screen for damage or any color distortion and there was luckily none. The camera's are working fine. It sounds like something is inside that is ricocheting around the top of the phone. Not sure if its some part or altered physical hardware. Please Help! Any speculations? THanks you in advance.
Btw: Anyone know how to fix the weak wifi signal issues also?
bump. Anyone please?
Dropped it several times from about 1 and a half meters on concrete (I seem to be a little clumsy ^^). No issues at all...
If you can't figure out what's the reason for your strange sounds, you should send it to Samsung/your Provider to have it checked.

It's probably the rear camera autofocus lens. My past three phones with an autofocus camera did the same thing. Annoying but common.

Well having the first problem with my S3. the vibrate motor seems to be messed up. It is still moving, but very messed up. Not strong at all. I'm guessing I'll have to replace the motor itself???
Anyone have this issue? any can offer any guidance? Or a place to buy parts?
Im not sure if its replaceable whitout breaking anything hopefully im wrong but unless your not an exper whit DIY guides don't bother :/

Unless you're an expert, you will probably do more damage than good. Are you not covered under warranty?
If you are, just do a warranty replacement. If you tamper with the phone tmobile will charge you full replacement cost.
If its weak, wait for it to get better. That happened to me too.

So you had a vibrate motor issue and it got better? Mine seems to be getting weaker and weaker.... Its pretty much at the point I can't hear or feel it anymore ......................

Well then, you should then get it back to where you bought it or to Samsung becaus it could be a hardware malfunction.

Just re discovered this thread again.... LOL.
I bought a vibrate motor on ebay for like $10, and installed it myself. Took like 5 mins. Super easy. Now all is good!

if you hold the phone to the right you can see there are not blocked
hope that helps a bit
Yeah that's what I was afraid of that it was just a common issue...maybe I'll go by and look at the display for comparison...

Mine is the same. By same, I mean EXACTLY the same, with the exact same holes blocked and unblocked. I'm not concerned though. it still sound fine. Maybe this is normal?
Yeah I never remembered it I've owned 3 M 7 over the past year and never saw that before. I may still exchange it because I notice there's some lag and my bottom buttons aren't very responsive
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app
The speaker is only under a part of the cover.
Check the ifixit tear down.
The other "unblocked" holes are the mic {on bottom) and notification led (on top}.

Well this is because it's NOT a defect, it's made that way, speaker is only under the left side of the grill, on right are other components underneath, so it looks blocked, it's not. :fingers-crossed:

For sure. The speakers are only half the length of the grill, if that. Hah nvm pics have been posted
Yeah thanks guys...yeah even on a video review said those holes are just there to make the speaker openings symmetrical looking...

Thanks for this thread. I had visited my local Verizon store this weekend and asked them about the "blocked" speaker holes and of course they had no clue. But their demo looked just like mine, and just like all the pics posted here. This saved me a call to cust service (which probably would have gone nowhere anyways, lol).
Hello,
I would like to know if it's possible that, after a fall of 3 feet on a wooden floor, a component or anything else on my HTC One (m8) has been broken and made the device a little bit slow?
I'm a little paranoid about that, so thanks in advance for the answer.
Highly doubt it but anything is possible.

A broken component or a system damage wouldn't have bigger consequences?

Correct. Like if you dropped it and it wouldn't turn on.

This is a pretty ambiguous question. I've seen phones survive 6 foot drops but not a simple 2 ft slip of the hand. I'll just comment on the build quality, and will say that it is top notch.

Thanks for your answers. I checked everything as the camera, LED, vibrate, gyro... and everything seems fine, so I come to the conclusion that it's is a coincidence. And I trust the amazing built quality of the M8.
