Note 4 OIS Motor making noise - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Has anyone heard or dealt with this it started happening when the new year started and I didn't realize how annoying it was until I went to a concert and couldn't take a clear picture or video. I have to either wait till the motor is done moving or close the app out and open it again. This goes for all social media apps as well as stock camera app. It's for sure the Camera itself. I attached a video so the problem is shown.
Turn it up and you can hear it whine.
I haven't had time to send the phone in or talk to Samsung. Funny thing is I have a Samsung shop in the store I work at lol I'll probably send it in once I get my M9. I doubt it would be something I can fix I really don't want to do the whole data switch on phones.

I have a Galaxy S 6 Edge from AT&T doing the same thing. I was gonna shoot Samsung an email about it.

My T-Mobile note 4 is doing it too. Pointing the camera up towards the sky often clears it but only for as long as I'm using the camera. Turn off the camera application and it sometimes comes right back.

I had my uk note 4 fixed a new cam module it's OK now.but have more issues with the system volume inconsistent

[Q] Epic 4G Touch Camera Buzzing

Hello all, I've been having this issue with my camera making a buzzing sound when I try to record videos. Granted, it does not happen all the time, but it does happen and it's annoying. Wondering if anyone else has the issue, is this a software issue, or is it just my phone and I need a replacement??
I did notice this start after I began to install the Stock Rooted ICS Leaked OSs. I'm currently running FD24 Stock Rooted. Thank you guys in advance for your help and advice.
I actually came on to ask the same question. Just buzzed when trying to snap a picture with flash on. I'm running the new AOKP build 34. Sounds like the from is causing the camera to overwork?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Try shaking it when it's buzzing. Let me know if it stops.
Had this same issue before with my wifes.
Well 25 pics snapped with flash and 3 video records with no buzz. If I were to shake to stop does that mean a loose part or something of the sort?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
No, it's just the camera focusing. Sometimes when it buzzes you'll notice the everything is very out of focus. The camera lens actually moves when focusing and that buzzing noise is the lens at it's max (+/-) and still trying to move. Not sure why shaking it makes it stop but it does. Seems to be self correcting also. After a while it stops occurring.
Makes sense. The pics I snapped at the time weren't very focused either. I appreciate the info.

myne does not buzz but makes a noticable sound seemingly stemming from the actual lens its self everytime i open the camera app , which has just started recently , i am fearing a hardware failure , anyone else ever hear this noise when the opening the camera app?
Any description of the noise? The one we're talking about stems from the same place too.

Thank you for all your replies, glad I'm not the only one with this issue... I have been shaking and tapping the phone to make it stop when it has happened. Just very annoying when you are video recording and it happens. It's never happened while taking pictures. I thought it might be hardware related and there might a fix or solution besides shaking...

TRS, not sure if the reason is the camera being overworked. It seems to me that it's more of a hardware issue. When the buzzing does occur I can hear and feel it towards the center of the phone, not near the lens.
I am not sure if mine was from the center or lens since it was only for a second. I assumed the lens issue was right. Doing research I have only found one other case and reason was not given. Sounds like the answer is lens or hardware. Hrm

Yeah i cant feel an actual buzz or vibration and it only occures for like 1 second to 2 when the camera first starts , and has dissapeared all together on Mijhz new AKOP ICS rom.
Mine makes the same buzzing sound and shaking it does help but I can hear something rattle in the lense so my guess is something has come loose that causes the buzzing.

I buzzed twice last night and it happened on opening the camera then switching to video camera. It was in fact the lens and shaking did fix it. Looks like hardware and I might just have to figure out how to reset my binary count seeing as it is at 22 lol. Anyone know of a way to do so?

If you're on ICS just use the Triangle away app then flash back to a completely stock EL29 rom.
If you're just going to trade it in with Sprint for another one then don't worry if it bricks it in the process. Sad part is that there's really on indication if this buzzing is just a fluke event or if it's actually a sign of hardware failure.

There has to be some sort reason or cause, whether it's a hardware or software issue, that is causing our cameras to buzz and hum when we open the app or switch from video to stills in the app... Just looking for an answer so that if it's hardware, then I'd go get a replacement... Thank you.
If anyone is still paying attention to this thread I am guessing it is hardware. It now buzzes for me every time I open the camera. If I click the screen and it catches a focus it stops. My reason for commingle back for an update is I jumped over to CWM9A5 and now it buzzes continuously when I run the torch. Since I can now do it on command I think I am going to order me a jig and reset my BC and flash complete stock and take it in to show Sprint!

you dont need a jig just download triangle away from the market, it will reset your flash counter and remove the yellow triangle
I'm also having this on my phone. It honestly started after my first ics rom and continued on every build so idk if it's ics related. Once my camera focus it stops but I can get it to do it again by repeatedly tapping on different parts of the screen till the lens has a hard time focusing. I'm assuming the camera is struggling to focus which is the cause of this.

[Q] Rattle around camera

Is the rattle sound I hear near the camera housing on my S3 normal? Everything seems to be working fine. Just making sure and asking here since this is the only place where I can get real answers.
Thank you all,

That doesn't sound normal to me... there is no noticeable rattle on either of the Galaxy S III's I have access to. How long have you had the phone for?

I just double checked, my old Galaxy S II LTE (aka Skyrocket) has a noticeable rattle when you shake it but I'm not hearing it on the S III (perhaps it's more subdued?). A quick Google search however shows that several other people have experienced the same thing and the general consensus seems to be that it's nothing to worry over.

Loose frame, random reboots, screen issues, camera failure and screen flickers

Hello about a month ago I purchased two of these devices one was for my friend one was for me. Mine had a loose frame that when you would push slightly on the bezel near the volume button you can hear it goin in and creaking as if it was not solid. I compared to the other device I bought and with other s4s and it felt more solid than mine so I changed for another. My girlfriends on the other hand lives in New York and she bought one on her own terms from a store I purchased mine through online. My exchanged device came in and with a purple tint on bottom half.of screen its slight and noticeable on grey backgrounds while brightness is low. My phone also randomly rebooted once and has had multiple camera failures..it seems to have gone away tho for me. On the other hand my girlfriend has now exchanged her phone once because it was rebooting constantly and having other problems and now the phone that they gave her for a replacement has tons of random reboots while doing pretty much anything it's very random I have been on the phone with her and it suddenly rebooted on her causing our call to end. She is also complaining about camera failure and reboots aren't seeming to fix it.. As it comes back and anytime she switches to front camera..so pretty much all of our devices have issues and even the exchanged ones do too. And they were purchased in diff states and one in store the other online. I have had every galaxy phone since the s2 including the note series and I have never experienced so many problems out of the box and I was an early adopter for all the other devices. I converted my girlfriend from the iPhone to this phone and now all she is having problems and is getting frustrated because she says that she's been in important calls and her phone has just rebooted for no reason amongst other problem she is facing. Her first device didn't have the camera failure and neither did my first device but now both of our exchange devices are giving us, failures.. Not really sure what to do I'm already out of buyers remorse I feel like calling to mobile to get yet another one but not sure if it will give it to me.. I'm a huge fan of samsung galaxy 9 but this phone has more issues than I thought and they are real issues this isnt just lag were complaining about or that thephone isnt quick enough or something dumb these are real problems. while on my vacation I had to deal with random camera failures..my gf with tons of reboots and camera fails.. These are issues that now make you go out of your way for the phone instead of the phone making itself go out of the way for yourself. It's honestly unacceptable.. So I want to know how many people with the T Mobile version: have experienced any of this. Take off the battery of the phone and just press around the plastic frame and see if you hear any pops like mine did.. Or has anybody had continuous camera failure whether resolved or not has it happened.. Random reboots to? I am aware that a new kernel or rom could fix this problem but my girlfriend lives in New York and she doesn't have the time to do this or knowledge and really shouldn't have to. So it's been at least four of these devices that have had issues from purple tint to loose frame to reboot to camera failure...really disappointing. Will T-Mobile send me a new one even out of buyers remorse?? I love this phone and so does my girl but we like using our cameras everyday and can't deal with these other apparent issues...what to do?
O forgot to mention that the phone flickers the screen while hit by Sunlight.. While keyboard is up and in white backgrounds as well as using the camera.. Screen looks like its blinking really fast..I know this issue is in ALL s4s but thought I'd throw it in to another set of problems... This one I can deal with though..reboots and camera failure?? Can't deal with that
These issues I've experienced personally and I'm speaking of my experiences only I don't make up stuff or use other members issues to add to mine. Those issues are present for me and my girl and we have now exchanged our phones twice.. We would be getting our 3rd s4 if we exchange again.

Wifi Calling calls drop and overall worse signal?

I have a Galaxy S4 and the Note 3, I noticed that with the S4 I would pick up LTE at work all the time, with the note I get it sometimes and the signal is not nearly as strong, anyone else notice a weak signal on the Note? Even more annoying is the phone keeps dropping calls when I am on Wifi Calling, I know it is not the wifi network as my S4 has never dropped a call while using wifi calling on my wireless but this phone will drop it and suddenly it will show the person calling me again and I can pick up and resume the call however on the other person's end they never did anything, they never tried calling me back. I am going to return the phone this weekend and pick up another Note 3 to see if I have the same issues.

I would think this issue and others will be resolved soon. Keep in mind it's a new phone and a new version of the os. I have had Samsung phones since the original galaxy and it seems with each new model comes the same issue with signal or gps but in the end a dev or software update fixes most. Just be patient.

I can deal with the crappy reception for now, its not terrible, just worse than my S4
I haven't had dropped calls but like you I come from an S4 and have the same signal and LTE issue, I exchanged my unit yesterday and still have the same issue. Hopefully it will be resolved with a quick update. With my first unit I did notice that it would not pickup wifi calling as fast as my S4.
I always get the WiFi unstable prompt. Meanwhile my note 2 is showing 1 bar from full..

i'm having issues with dropped wifi calls, dropped wifi (in general) and lower signal strength. ooh, also bluetooth glitches (doesn't always respond to bluetooth headset controls, notifications don't play through bluetooth headset).
***almost forgot! even though the Note 3 is listed as fully compatible with the Fitbit One, it won't sync. At all. The Fitbit app will tell you that your device isn't supported and take you to a page that says you have to have certain Samsung devices for it to sync. Like the Note 3. :laugh:
as someone mentioned, new Samsung devices generally have issues that are resolved within a few updates.
I'm having some issues as well Nothing that can be Fix through an Software update . but I find the Call quality of the note 3 way better than my S4 and it's not even HD Voice !

I'm with you on the call quality. I've never had such great convos on a cell phone. Both sides are crystal clear. I've used the Wi-Fi calling a couple of times, and I did get the unstable warning. When it was connected my calls were really good on Wi-Fi too. I don't know what Samsung did with this phone, but they did a great job for calls. I came from a GSII, and I thought that was pretty good, but the Note 3 makes it sound like a tin can now.
I was getting dropped calls via wifi calling even though I'm a few feet from my router. Happened so many times, I just gave up & turned off wifi calling.

I noticed there are three mics on this phone. Of course one is for speaking into, and one is noise canceling, but what is the third? Another noise canceling? I Googled it, but didn't really find info on how the three interact. One on top, one on bottom, and one on the bottom right on the side with the power button.

List your issues with the Galaxy S6 Edge

So I have been having issues since I've gotten the S6 edge on April 10th. Let me list the issues so far.
-Phone overheating
-Phone lagging when nothing is even open
-Random app crashes
-Fingerprint scanner issues (rarely but still happens)
-Touchscreen sometimes not responsive
-Bluetooth loses connection
-Loading an app takes forever.
I even changed all the animations and scaled it down to .5x instead of the stock 1x.
Overheating, battery life + wifi calling issue perhaps, have yet to diagnose the 2nd one. Fingerprint scanner isn't accurately reading either. T-Mobile says they have to do diagnostics to avoid doing a $50 restocking fee too, which is dumbfounding if I want to just get another 6 Edge.

Hmm.. probably you should get the phone replaced. I (thankfully) haven't experienced even one of your problems and neither were there any scratches on my screen..
Droid-Life is also reporting people having issues with auto-rotate.. I've a feeling these issues are specific to a batch of phones that got produced together, but i'm not sure if there's a way to relate them.

LAG, my wife's iPhone 6 loads apps immediately every time, while with s6 edge it can take 1-2 seconds, I did a full reset and the phone was speedy again so I carefully installed my apps to see if one was the culprit and so far have not found one, my phone is still faster then before the reset but am starting to notice a small lag when opening the phone and messages app,it seems to happen when I start to have a few call logs or more than one conversation on my messages, I shouldn't have to delete my call log or messages everyday just to have my phone be fast, but this seems to be an issue with every android phone so it must be Android itself

They managed to give me a bill credit in the past with the S5 because the issues with managers and their stupid restocking fees. Their machine is just pretty much a fail in it self since it doesn't check for issues and the manager is going to sit there and try to explain something to me when he didn't even know how to navigate through the settings.

Haven't really had overheating issues, but these two problems above are really making me want to return this phone.
Yea same here. If I open any kind of app the ram is 90%+ which is not making sense

Lagging.
This is unacceptable, IMO. RAM usage is extremely high at all times with only the same apps I've had in my Z3 (granted, running Android 4.4) and my wife's HTC One M9 (running Lollipop). And like everyone else here, it lags, and lags, and lags:
I hit the home button, it takes a couple of seconds to reload widgets, icons, etc (really only some app shortcuts and the clock/weather app on the main screen and calendar all on the right-most screen; I have 3 screens total, "briefing is disabled).
If I have a light webpage open in the samsung browser, and then I hit home, and then I hit multitasking again and go back in it, that page reloads after a brief moment of doing nothing (lagging). If I have more than a few webpages open, and I hit the home button, there goes my whole home screen again when I hit the home button.
I *have* done the factory reset with samsung smart switch. The phone is 10x better than it was before, but it still isn't as fast as my last 3 phones: an HTC One M7, an HTC One M8, and a Sony Z3. And my wife's aforementioned HTC One M9.
I ran some benchmarks like Vellamo, and wow, it's fantastically fast....... but what about everyday usage? I'm really close to returning this phone, and I've only had it for 6 days. Sure teh screen is beautiful and it runs benchmarks like a boss, but I don't run benchmarks all day. I use my phone like a normal smartphone. And on that, this phone is failing miserably. I think I'm still on my grace period, and I fully intend on using it to return this if I can't figure this out by tomorrow. I've visited XDA more now than I have for all the time I've had HTC's and the Sony.
See the screenshot attached. That free space goes quick, and then the phone starts chugging. It's 2015 Samsung, if you can figure out how to turn out insane benchmark numbers but can't improve usability of the phone then I'm out.
TL;DR: Unacceptable lag compared my previous phones and M9.
Are you guys disabling s voice? I disabled everything except for s voice and my apps open up right away pretty much all the time. I barely get crashes. I disabled the amazon app also was a pain.

That's the first thing I do with Samsung phones. Disable s voice.

Lol same here, but I realized even though I wasn't using it the phone ran smoother with it enabled, I wish I didn't have to deal with it at all.
