I just got the Moto 360 Stone grey from BB and I found it sounds really squeaky when putting it on or taking it off or pretty much any time the band touches or has some form of pressure against the lip on the bottom of the 360. It makes the moto seem cheap cause it sounds like a cheap plastic toy.
Does anyone else have that issue with it? I also have 2 stuck pixels so I have to go through a return process.... But just wanted to see if that squeaky/creaky thing is normal or if I just got a bunk unit.
Thanks

Yup my black 360 squeaks and creaks the same way. Even when touching the screen it will creak. Thinking of getting the Pebble Steel band and hopefully that will quiet it down...

Crap well that sucks. It really makes the watch sound and seem cheap.
Anyone else care to weigh in? Could it be cause the leather is new or is that how it sounds even after weeks of use?

damn I hope it isn't a problem with the plastic back... I really wished they used some type of stronger material than plastic for the back or a higher end plastic cause all this cracking and squeaking is a problem..
No sound from my black one so far.
Got a black one over a week ago because it was the only one I could find. No sweeks, noises or problems.
Just got a Stone gray on Monday. It does squeak/creak fresh out of the box.
The black leather felt softer, less stiff when compared to the Stone.
While I haven't compared them side by side, I think the black band might also be thinner.
The leather band on mind squeaks but that is what leather does.

No not like a squeaky toy when your wearing it and pretty any movement you make makes some type of small to loud squeak. How is that normal or tolerable in a watch? Especially if you're trying to be in a quiet environment.
I found that its the band rubbing against the inner slot of the watch that seems to cause the squeaking. I'm gonna contact motorola and see what they say if not just return it to best buy cause they don't have any in stock

Lol. You can't please everyone. Leather makes these noises, it will go away over time.
It probably got dust in there or something, the friction is what makes the squeak.
You guys just need to remove the band and clean where it touches the watch body, if it still squeaks try a bit of baby powder :good:

So when I got my replacement and it didn't squeak so my concern was definitely not me not being "pleased" it was a defective watch overall it had dead pixels, a squeaky band and the button felt mushy. The black one I have now is solid no squeak at all the button clicks and one extremely small dead pixel off near the edge that can only be seen on a dark screen on full brightness if you're close looking at it, but seeing as they are so hard to find and I got lucky with this one I don't mind it.

My mom's Gnote 2 on AT&T does this as well. Its annoying, but I think they all do this to some extent. If you take the battery door off it doesn't do it. But when you place the device to your ear for calls you can hear the creaking.
Mine used to be silent, but then with me taking it off and on a hundred times trying to figure out the wireless charging I think the tabs get a little worn and don't hold the cover in place as tightly as when new. Sucks, but I bet money a new battery cover will fix it. I just try not to pay attention. I know, that's not what we should have to do with a $650 device, but it is what it is (still the best phone on the market).
I chatted with Samsung asking if this was normal and he said no. I don't think the Galaxy S III had any creaking going on.
Can more people comment?

Jajaja same here. Right behind the volume buttons. Was not successful with the wireless charging. I think with time or exsecive on/off its bound to happen on a plastic cover. It's flimsy on its own but on the phone, I'm surprised how sturdy it is.

The Samsung Flip Cover replaces the battery door with one that is slightly thicker. It's not really noticeable, but the phone feels a lot more solid and all of my creeks went away.

Never had that issue with the SIII, but it is an issue with the Note II. Samsung was no help and doesn't have the T-Mobile version in stock yet. A rep told me "this is the first we are hearing of this issue".

I got a flip cover, but it's hard to use the phone 1 handed... when you pull it out, you need to flip the flap without dropping the phone... and then it kinda hangs there uselessly unless you fold it behind the back which feels weird... I don't know, it looks sleek as heck, but more annoying than useful IMHO
In any case, I'm using my Nilkin case with my Note II and with that I don't hear any creaking because it's a hard shell case, actually makes the phone feel better in the hand (I swear Samsung wants us to drop the phone by making the largest, most unwieldy phone and then putting it into a glossy, plasticky and slippery frame. Sheesh, why can't they take a note from HTC and put some rubberized plastic on it? At least it'll be more scratch resistant.
My back cover and case creak, so annoying! Hope to see some replacement back covers with NFC soon to see if I can fix this...
figured out the issue, the bezel appears to be "loose"
even if it seems perfectly attached, try pushing it in towards the centre abit(so it exposes more glass), mine popped and the creaking is mostly gone.

Has anyone else noticed that the bottom speaker mesh/grille appears to buckle easily?
Holding mine to the light I can see about 3-4 indentations, can also feel them with my fingernail
Absolutely no idea how any of them happened
It's a very subtle thing but I still expected better from a metal frame
This is getting worse of its own accord, now the mesh is completely fractured in 2 places - with no drops or rough handling. The silver paint/whatever is also coming off
Is no one else seeing this happen?

Is a very tiny mesh: if you press the bottom inserting in a sleeve make sure do not press over the mesh but on the corners

Mine has just the slightest wiggle side to side - but doesn't feel "faulty" per se. I can only even tell it wiggles by looking at it and pushing it to a side, otherwise I'd of never noticed.
mine is very very loose, annoyingly so
looks like it's falling out and makes a rattling noise when touched
receiving a replacement soon hopefully wont have the same fault
Not a fault, as someone mentioned earlier the volume rocker is made of metal like the body and so cannot have such a snug fit as if it were plastic. So learn to live with it guys!

Why is that then? metal can be machined to very high tolernces, much tighter than plastic.

It's for this reason that there is a little play I believe. If I think about other machined parts such as on my Aprilia motorcycle there will be some kind of rubber bushing or shims to prevent play between the two machined parts. But with plastic such as my One X volume rocker, at first there was no play at all but after some time that changed and now it feels just as loose or wobbly as my new M8. I have the gel case on now so don't worry so much about the wobbly volume rocker :good:

no really, it's a fault
if you tilt my handset it hangs out, it started doing it after using it for a while, feels like a spring came off/broke etc, looks like it's hanging on by a thread

No doubt about it mate, a little play is acceptable but hanging out is definitely a fault. Hope you get it sorted.
new one has been delivered and it's a lot better, still slightly loose but not hanging out
actually now it's gone the same, it's ok with a case but without it feels awful
I'll keep this one but if it stops working I'll send it back
I am paying less than I was before upgrading so I can deal with it but anyone buying this sim free for a large amount of cash, would be disappointed with the quality of the volume rocker
Can someone with a ticket that looks like it's about to fall off, post a picture of it, I'm interested in hire it looks?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
im interested in this as well.
I bought my phone last night. noticed it this morning that the volume rocker is a bit loose. it doesn't hang out or anything but it can move up and down (towards the front screen and back).
most annoying thing is when moving the phone around, you can hear the loose volume rocker.
=(
Confirmed this is definitely an issue.
Bought one today and it was quite loose. Went back to the store and checked the display model and it was the same.
Gent there opened up a new one and it was less loose so I took it for the moment but it seems to be getting more loose as I use it. Probably going to return again, but how many times before I get one that is correct and how do I know it will not develop the looseness...
edit: If you shake with any force it it actually rattles!
I've had the free case on it for most of the day and I haven't noticed the loose rocker
anyone planning to use a case will be fine, without one it would annoy me massively, especially the noise when tilting the phone..I don't think it's going to actually fall out though
my handsets are both from o2, both same issue so I don't see much point in sending it back again, I will contact them and see if they have had many returned
I seriously doubt it's meant to be this loose
---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------
this review actually mentions it rattling around horribly..perhaps this is why they give you a case in the box..would be good to know for sure to save people replacing the phone over and over again
The one sore point in the build quality is with the thin volume rocker, which rattles around horribly. It’s a particular shame seeing as the rocker can also double up as the camera shutter.

Did you have to ship back first to get a replacement? Mine is super flimsy, but I'm lazy to have to swap back to a micro sim if I have to ship back first. I can hear the key move when I move the phone, even makes a noise when the phone vibrates.

It is wide, for sure, but comfortable. You'll need some antiseptic non-corrosive wipes as if you wear it a lot eventually you get a rash from the organic material sticking to the rubber. Keep it clean matters more than with say metal band

safest is simple soaking and scrubbing in soapy water. The watch electronics parts pops out easily so washing strap doesn't need waterproofing. On my wrist its where the inner strap presses against skin, and the metal clasp presses against skin, I got red skin blotches itchy. Less bad if you take off at night (no need as the watch charges fast and lasts 1.5-2.0 days for me). The holes in the strap give coarse adjustment so you're either lucky or its too baggy or too tight. The vibration of the phone works best if tight, so its then luck of your wrist size to the strap notches. You might get less problems if your size is a luckier match than mine.
Got my case today and it's OK, but a couple of gripes. There is zero protection for the hinge. Drop it on edge and no safety net. Given that's kind of the heaviest area when folded seems likely to be what hits the concrete on a drop.
The front cover seems to slide around a bit if you put edge pressure on it.
While wireless charging works with the stand slotted, the pen holder prevents it from getting close enough to charge.
Also a bit too bulky to feel natural in the hip pocket with the pen slotted in, though I expected that. The pen is for travel and meetings so I won't have it attached all the time.
The back of the case shows fingerprints almost as bad as the screens do.
*EDIT* And finally I just noticed - the stand is really only useful when folded and in landscape mode. Otherwise you might as well just lay the phone down it leans back so far.
The gray-green of the case is definitely the color I expected the phone to be, so it's not a match to the phone case gray color, but the phone color is only really visible around the power button.
Sorry for potato photos, the only thing I had handy to shoot with was my Surface Duo 1.0.

I was able to chose the color in the US.
One thing I do like about the pen attachment; when the pen is installed with the phone open and the power and volume buttons ot the top, I can slide the pen out a couple inches and with my left hand I can completely hold the open phone. The pen slides between my middle and pointer fingers and the phone balances while open and is weildable.
Maybe I should add a photo?
