Does anyone else have a slight rattle noise coming from the camera area/back corner? You cant really hear it unless you tap on the back of the tablet lightly. My old(2012) nexus doesnt make this sound and not sure if this is normal on the new 1s or not.
i hear a tapping noise when i tap on it.
come on man, do you buy products to find problems? do not make this into the screen lifting issue with the first nexus 7. noone needs you exchanging yours a hundred times taking away possible purchases from other people.
Pretty sure it's normal. Same noise on my Nexus 4.
please dont start star the "screen lift" saga of 2012 with the 2013 model some people look for things wrong.. if you have buyers remorse take it back.
its the camera. you will notice that on a lot of devices with cameras. my Gnex does this, my wifes Droid Razr HD does this as well. my thunderbolt did it too. pretty sure it is something inside the camera housings.
dont tap there. its nothing to worry about.
i swear, the only time i find stuff wrong with my electronics is when OTHER people point them out.

My GNex doesnt make this particular sound, it makes a sound from the cover not being flush with the back tho.
Either way not a big deal, was just wondering if it was normal or not.
ridiculous mentality from some people here. A LOT of users, me included, go to forums like XDA to learn about potential build flaws because some of us actually care about getting quality controlled devices for our money. I actually didn't buy the Nexus 10 because of all the reports, both from forums and in reviews, about the bleeding, and I'm grateful for all those reports.
Just because you'd happily pay for a product with obvious defects and then defend the manufacturer to the bone like it was your employer doesn't mean everyone have that attitude. In the year 2012 gluing a screen to a bezel shouldn't have been a problem.
I'm not saying the OP has discovered a flaw here but any report of potential flaws is appreciated by someone like me and your overly defensive mentality is sad to see. Don't decide for others what a flaw is cause it is highly subjective.

lol, i just took the battery cover off the phone and tapped around, and the rattling got even worse....lol. My new N7 does have the rattling, though I dont think i would have ever noticed it, and I dont think its a defect at all.

i agree with that. its just some times (like the N7 screen lift saga) the defect isn't even noticeable until someone points it out to you.
The volume rocker rattles when I tap it. I've noticed on very smartphone and tablet I've handled pretty much does it as well.
Built like a tank, no issues here.

my volume rocker is solid, definitely seems like its coming from the camera.
Its the camera lenses. Perfectly normal. All cameras do this to some extent.
My galaxy nexus doesn't.... But remember it having a 0 shutter lag. Maybe it has a unique camera or something. Most other cameras click when tapped.

So i did a exchange and the new 1 i got has the same sound. kinda odd that some people are stating they arent getting the noise from the camera...
Anyone else getting the creaking/rattle?
Its the focus lens, lots of devices do this
Sent from my Nexus 7
does anyone else have it as bad as me?
I hear it even if i put if I put it down lightly.
example: flat on table with something soft under, pick up top area around 1cm and give it a little force pushing it down.
my first 1 was definitely louder than the replacement, i could hear it through the box. my replacement still does it when i place it on my lap or table, but its not as bad.
im pretty sure all of them do it. so if you dont have any of the other issues(dead pixel/QI not working etc) people are mentioning i would just keep it.

Hey,buddy.
I am confused about this , i mean , my nexus 7 has the identical issue even it is a very very slight tap...
Is it similar to yours?
not only the camera area but also the upper part of back cover...
it seems to be a normal to make the noise from the camera lens. i wouldnt worry about it too much.
I am still confused why some others have said they dont have the sound tho.
So, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, but there is another trinket of info that points to the book cover being actively sensed by this tablet. When poking around in settings, I happened across this little feature.

Man, Samsung does not make it easy. They need to support their products more. iPad 5 will have about a million accessories all over the place.

Samsung has had a terrible launch for its S-Note line. I've had my Note 3 for over a week and still no sign of official accessories anywhere whether in-store or at Amazon.
Same for the note 10.1 2014.
If you want to charge these high prices you better provide an apple-esque experience and that means no headaches for anything including finding accessories.

I was able to get a genuine S-View cover from Verizon, but only through telesales, not online or in the store.
Is that advertised anywhere? No.
Does Samsung's official site list any covers or cases? No.
They suck so bad at accessories. It's ridiculous.
Yeah Samsung's last few product launches have been the same, no accessories until a few weeks after.

I can confirm it does wake the tablet. I don't have the smart cover, but I do have a keyboard with a "smart cover"that turns it on and off. Placing it over the screen, or even on the back, trips the magnetometer, putting the tablet to sleep. Removing it wakes it up into a quick note/dashboard type of program.
I bought a sleeve that is actually for an iPad and daynote does work. It's not working every time but every now and again I'm presented with a special screen after removing the note from its sleeve.
Best Buy tells me it will be in stock this week. Either with their Monday shipment or Thursday shipment.
We'll see. Given that their Samsung Experience employees didn't even know it was releasing the week before it did, I don't put much stock into what they say.

Before you try any magnet cases, test if the digitizer survives it. i had one on my note 8.0 and it had a big impact on the wacom digitizer, when drawing i would get close to 10mm of offset or the area around the magnet didn't work at all. When i noticed this i immediately performed a little surgery and now the case is a dumb piece of leather. Luckily i noticed it pretty quickly so i got no permanent damage. I'm not sure if permanent damage CAN be done with such a weak magnet, but look out

Wow seriously? This kind of scares me as I am using the Moko case. But you know I don't think the Note 8.0 was made to be utilized with a magnet. Seeing that the Note 10.1 2014 is made to wake up with the use of a magnet, I think they made have designed it to be magnet friendly.
I could eb wrong, because I returned my Note 8.0
Yes, you might be right but look out. You dont want a tablet thats at a higher price because of something that breaks because of you not using a correct case.

On the Note 3, the "View" cover uses a Hall effect sensor I have read.
What I noticed about this cover is that it seems to cover the camera when it is folded over the back??

Nope, they don't really know release dates on anything. I've been asking the Samsung guy about Note 3 cases, he tells me a day, and they never come in.
Was just over at BB today, asking him if they had the cases, when another lady came up and wanted to know also. WTF, is up with Samsung and the slow releases of these accessories for both Note 3 and 10.1??

Heh! Yeah you're right!
Here's what I was thinking when I said that.
The magnet can be on either side. So not necessarily on the cover. "Could" be steel on the cover, but probably not.
Like for instance, I am putting a hall sensor on a Motorcycle presently. The magnet is in the sensor itself. The trigger wheel is steel.
So steel goes through the field and causes the trigger.
But it seems that the magnet here "should" be on the cover. Otherwise all steel would trigger the sensor and screw with the display.
I did run a magnet near my screen and couldn't get it to switch even after fooling with the S-View settings.
Has anybody else run into this?
I noticed it the other day when I was out in the sun. It is more prominent when viewing a white background. It looks similar to a phone screen that has suffered water damage, but my phone has never been exposed to water.
There are streaks of grey and white swirls in long squarish patterns. I looked it up and this has also been an issue for some note 5 users. It looks perfectly fine under normal conditions, but at certain angles with the brightness up or under the sun specifically, it is very noticeable.
My guess is uneven coating of glue on panel to glass maybe? I'm returning mine. They (tmo) at first tried to argue that I was past my 20 day deadline. I argued that this isn't a matter of preference but rather defect in workmanship or materials. Then they said to call insurance. Escalated it repeatedly until they agreed to send me a new one under warranty and I also refused to pay the 5 dollar fee, so they waved it. So if anybody else experiences this, just be firm and persistent. Still love t mobile. But business is still business.

I got my replacement yesterday. This one has minor* blotches, but nowhere near as bad as the device I swapped for. I can live with this one, though I shouldn't have to.
This phone is fantastic, but I'm not so sure about any future devices. At least not amoled. My note 4 had uneven colors, and was very yellowish. I'm really not impressed with Samsung panels.
Okay now that the snow has cleared up and Denver is getting real sun... this isn't much better. Disappointed in QC. They should offer returns for other devices no questions asked. This is absurd considering the price. I love very thing about this phone, except this particular issue. It could indeed be my last samsung. Between this and the issues with SIM on the S4. Next time I think I'm going to go for a nexus.

I'm still debating whether to upgrade or not. The s7 edge and the s6 edge plus are way more similar than different. I wish google would make a phone that has the same build quality as the s7 edge or s6 edge plus with vanilla android. Phones are getting way too expensive. The s7 edge in Canada is 1000 dollars lol

I am so glad someone else pointed this out, as I was driving myself crazy trying to think if I had done something to it. It is truly unfortunate that they would consider this satisfactory build quality.
In a weird way, this thread has provided me with a scintilla of closure. I love this phone, but I -- like you -- cannot justify the price with the workmanship.

I thought maybe I did something to damage it as well until I got a second and third one. So no, you aren't crazy, nor did you do anything to it. Just an amazingly absurd QC issue on Samsung's part. I blown away by the lack of quality control and that they would even release these. Its sad because it is a beautiful phone.
I noticed the same thing with my device in bright sunlight! It's really only noticeable outside, which is very weird. Anyway, it didnt bother enough to make a fuss about it, but I'm getting the S7 edge today, so... water under the bridge at this point

Hey guys
I just got my Note 10+ I think judging by the pictures some Note10+ models have a top alignment defect. It's very hard to see sometimes but can be seen. If you look at the top side where the glass meets the top bezel you will see a gap which looks normal but had a white or grayish line that goes between the glass and frame. I'm not sure it's it's normal or not but it's more visible in daylight or shining a light on it. Check this out
https://imgur.com/a/1Q1wn53
I went out to see if other Note 10+ had these issue and they did some are less noticeable but is still present. I also checked the S10 and Note 9 and does not seem to have this issue
Thought I might share a photo to show you my point. Look at the photo you will see that the white line is visible between the gap on the top. This white line starts from both sides of the ear speaker cutout and runs till just about the corner almost and stops.
I am trying to see if this is a known issue. If others have the same issue. Please comment.
My Note 10+ does not have such a big gap.
I can barley put a piece of paper between the display and the metal frame
Also what you are see is probably the water proofing rubber ring.

Nope not a fake Note 10+ at all. That photo I posted was taken at a Best buy demo that they had standing up. So took the photo of that. And I really zoomed in. That's not mine, but I have the similar problem. And I buy all my phone's from carries and them too they have this issue. You just can't see it cause it's in the small gap on top. I will try to get some more photos of different models including mine. I just posted that one cause it was the best shot as a reference.
Here are two more shots of the same phone posted above at Best buy
https://imgur.com/a/d9Ftr8h
You can still see the gap. Left and right side of the ear speaker cutout. When not really zoomed that much.
Demo unit. Disregard.
Could be bent, could be something else.
Retail does not have a gap between the frame and glass.

Well mine does and I will post a picture with that too. And mine is a carrier version. Soon will be posted. There should be no gap at all maybe the one you guys received doest have that issue but mine does. So maybe I'll see if they can exchange mine.
As mafy31 says, the title of your post is highly missleading, sound as if ALL note 10+ have a flaw that only YOU could find, which clearly is not the case, yes, your device may be a flawed one, if so, go to exchange it, or whatever solution your vendor is willing to provide

Nope it's not cause I have the whitedome screen installed. I took of the original one off. I have always had Samsung product and never had issue. Just this and the other model S6 that had an issue of being scratched out of the box. I was the first one to notice this staright out of the box and posted which later escalated being here. And people were noticing. Obviously this is nowhere near the same but was a manufacturing defect. Which I put into motion where I live and eventually they brought that to the attention of the Samsung rep and later had it swapped when they say indeed was a defect and swapped out mine after 5 phones or so later. They needed to bring 5 phones only 1 was perfect after the second batch arrived at the carrier store. It was then all over xda this issue.
Trust me guys I have been using Samsung mobile since the first release. I just want people to tell me if they have this issue too and have the bad units not all to be replaced. Like I said it's hard to see it, but it's present on the carrier demo phones and mine. But later on when I post mine you will see it's there. And I am someone very picky about phones to be perfect. I always buy from carriers. My mistake was I should have maybe bought from the store and examine there. Then to have it shipped. But they didn't have in store so had no choice. Sorry for the long post.
Well, then, you admit that your unit is flawed, but the title of the post sugests that ALL devices are that way, which is not the case

They all have it, it's hard to see it. Some are worst than others. It's still a flaw, since on 5 units I looked at has the same issue. This line can be seen on all units. I checked more today and they all have it. The only difference is some show more gap space then others. People think that the gap space shown are big, when it's not. That has been zoomed in. So yes most have it. I checked today as well 10 of them have it just lesser gap. I don't come on these forums to create things that does not exist. Provide me a close up shot of the top bezel like I mentioned above. You will see it's there. The gap is small when using the phone in a regular position. When looking closer you can see it. So therefore
A) The first batch got this issue which is maybe what is supplied here or what I got that had this issue (first run)
B) The second batch corrected the issue.
That is my conclusions.

I hate that I'm inspecting my 10+, that I got from Samsung, for any little thing. No gaps or irregularities that I can see. I agree that you should not make it sound as though all devices have a problem when they do not!

Sorry if my title seems misleading, I was just putting the awareness out that the Note 10+ has some screen alignment issues on the top side. I know maybe lots with disagree or maybe might not see it, but I have gotten in touch with the manager at the carrier, and they looking into the issue, them too they see it as an issue. They said, its not a big issue or a big major flaw, but according what the manager said, it does looks like there is a gap and is visible when looking closely. Yes its not a big deal, but if I am putting down more than 1000+ down, I expect the phone to be flawless. If this was a phone that was $200 -$400 I wouldn't careless.
I'm just put the statement out there so that if you guys do have an issue, I can bring that to the attention to Samsung. I do not know if you guys can remember, the S6 did not have a major design flaw too, but what it did have was a manufacturing defect from the company that the phones, straight out of the carries box, was coming all scratched up. After investigation the issue, I once again, got in touch with the manager, which the manager got in touch with the Samsung rep, and sent all the received units that the carrier got, sent back, and the next bunch came out of the factory perfect.
Like I said, I am a big fan of Samsung, I practically have all the models, minus the Note 7. So just putting the word out, like I said before, sorry if the title seems misleading. It has been corrected.
Thread title made me curious. Investigated my N975-F. Damn you,OP.
I know what you mean cause I am seeing it on my device.
Maybe it allows for the glass to expand in hotter/warmer environments and contracting in colder/less warmer.
I don't necessarily think it's a flaw.
Anyway here are 2 pics of my phone.

I'm glad you found what I am talking about ?. At least we have found someone in here that finally understands my point. People in here jump to conclusions without having to do the homework. You can see clearly on yours, you have the same issue as mine.
People told me the Note 10+ shot I posted earlier a fake lol. Yep that's right the best buy put a fake replica Note 10+ functional device.
It's not very visible but to me it is cause I see the little imperfections. Maybe it's a water seal maybe it's the adhesive glue but whatever it maybe it's right between the gap of the glass and frame. Beside the speaker and right before the curve of the glass it stops. Once you see it. It annoys you lol.
I can bet you probably its on all Note 10+ devices. So far I seen it on more than a dozen devices. I dunno how wide spread it is.
Is anyone else noticing that the hinge has some play in it when the device is closed.
Should I be worried about this. Only had it a week so could return back to At&t before the 14th day. Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
I don't have any play in the hinge when closed and I've had the Fold almost a month now. I'd say return it back to AT&T before the return policy and exchange it just for peace of mind and what seems to be a factory defect.
The hinge becomes loose over a period of time, and when closed, the plastic trim around the inner screen creaks. I've gone through 3 folds and they all had this issue.

Did you return it. I still have a few days before my 14 days are up. Thinking of returning it.
Who cares lol.
You think I'm gonna return my $100K Mercedes when the gear shift starts feeling different? No you deal with it. It's a physical part...

What if your check engine light comes on? Just deal with it because it's a light?
As far as the noise, I'm now on my 4th fold and all but the newest one makes the creaking noise. It's the nature of the beast. I don't like something that cost $2k to sound like something that costs a fraction of that, but for now, that's the price to pay. For me, the noise doesn't bother me enough to part with my Fold. There are too many great things about the phone that I'm not willing to give up lol

do you think theres a chance your 4th one doesn't make any noises because of the "1st batch blues" for any tech devices?
maybe possibly you have a 2nd or 3rd batch phone?
thanks for the update though, that loosening hinge was really putting me off from buying the phone.
sucks to see that quality control is still a little random, even after all the delays.
I get a strange noise too when closed thinking of contacting samsung about this in a few days no rush bought of ebay like new no marks £1190 it was either that or the whopping £1,900 from samsung so a good saving with the buds.
