Does anyone else notice that behind the top half of the phone the speakers vibrate? Would like to know if this is only my phone or if it's standard across every other Z5P. Kinda annoying vibration with mid+ volume.

Mine does this too. The bottom speaker sounds tinnier than the top one. That's probably why the top one vibrates.

Same for me on Z5P e6853, although some of my a/v files do seem to be a bit loud/overdriven.
Could it be something in codecs, maybe some adjustments can be made in one of the media_ .xml files ?
I'm spitballing that idea becuase other media files seem to play well and carry quite nicely.

Could be, it's hard to say. As it looks right now, it seems like the bottom speaker is generally weaker than the top one.

I finally realized why the top speaker vibrates more than the bottom. If you tap the phone lightly on the back at the top and bottom you'll hear that the top feels more empty than the bottom.
The top speaker must have a bigger area for itself without being densely packed with other components, which makes the back panel directly affected by the speaker.
The bottom speaker is fitted in a place with more components (or something else), which gives the speaker direct contact with other surfaces than the back panel, that transfers the vibrations more evenly.
A reason why the bottom speaker is distorting at lower frequencies could be because the vibrations travels through other components that is more prone to give those nasty distortions.

I have had my HOX for about a week now and It seems that I am lucky since my phone is defect free in comparison to what other people are saying.
The only thing I noticed is the rattling noise when I shake the phone. Has anyone confirmed the source of the rattling?
Thanks

I hear a small little rattle when i type on the screen and haptic feedback is enabled. Its a really small sound. If that is what you are talking I have the same thing.
just dont shake it

i had that rattling noise as well in my previous two white HOX. Some say it could be due to the autofocus of the camera some say it is the sim tray card. If i was you send it back mate and try and get a new one if you can. Not a big issue but if you are a very picky person like me then swap it till you get a perfect one. I send two not just because of the noise but due to other factors and now i got my grey one i could not be any happier
I thought it was the camera optics moving, I removed the sim and it still rattled, it`s not a problem, how often do you shake it, it`s a phone not a pair of maracas
John.
Thank you guys for the responses!!!
i have a problem, can you make a test for me??
when i put headphones, and i press volume + for example, i hear a noise for 3 seconds, and it stops..it's really a problem!!
'cause now when i listen music , between 2 tracks i hear this noise
It is the phone's optics.
don't exchange if ur phone is perfect otherwise u might end up with one if the troubled one x, rattle is on most them anyway
no noise troubles on my sony xperia.. perfect sound
I ordered another one x and pretty much returned it after I opened the box because the rattling is on the new one also plus it had a scratch between the LCD and the Gorilla glass.
I am keeping my original HOX since it is defect free except the rattling noise.
My only concern is having a problem with the phone down the road due to moving parts, any wisdom?
Thanks.

I think it is the vibrate motor, my latest one x did a sharp hard click when the vibrate was going off, not long after initial setup.
This cause the vibrate feedback to become really weak, so long story short, it's going back on tues... How is the intensity of your vibrate feedback, especially when pressing the capacitive buttons?

just realized mine rattles...this is my 3rd HOX due to picky screen issues and everything else is fine...so I won't let this bother me and if something breaks...well thats what warranties are for.
It is very slight and doesn't seem to affect anything else....oh well- can't have perfection and this is one imperfection, among a myriad of others that I will deal with.

I think this might be something different (though I could be wrong). If you get strange clicking or popping sounds when starting or stopping music or changing volume etc, it could be down to some EQ or sound boosting app that you've installed.
I previously used an app called Volume+ (sound booster) on my HTC Sensation to help with the weak volume that it had. It worked great with the Sensation, but it causes no end of issues for me with the One X. It's just a though...
Bugsy.

Practically every HTC phone I've owned rattled to some degree when shaken. I wouldn't worry about it as long as that's the only time you hear it.
I can say, however, that over the course of a few days - the haptic feedback motor on my phone has changed from making a nice gentle humming sound to a slightly irritating click/slapping sound.

same thing happened with mine as well. makes me sometimes not bother with haptic feedback due to this. but get use to it in the end
Hey all anyone have an idea why the Note 2 has a nice big speaker but hide it behind plastic with only two small slits to let the audio out? Seems a little bit of an odd design decision.
Issue I'm having is vibration through the backcover when volume is at 70% anyone else noticed it? Not a deal break on an otherwise outstanding phone. Just a curious design decision.
I keep the vibration off so no ai havent noticed anything like that yet. But I do like how nice and loud the speaker is.

I think the OP meant that there is noticeable sound vibration through the cover at higher volumes. But yeah...It makes me wonder why Samsung decided to just have two small opening splits for the speaker. They should have just kept it open like the S3.
It still works better then the old note. Dont go as mute if you cover it with your palm. Seems they let it leak out from more places then just that 2 small slits. I can also get small vibrations but speakers usually do vibrate so i dont find it odd.
Hi.
do you hear a little sound when you give little taps on the back near the mic jack?
down I have no sound but when I tap on top, I hear something like something was not fixed.
what could be it?

Hehehe, you and I seem to have done the same thing when we bought it. If I had to take a wild guess at what that is, I would say it is a loose fit of the volume rocker, or the power button. The thing is rock solid though, I had the 2012 and that thing creaked and flexed all over the place. I'll take a rattle from knocking on the back.
I think my volume rocker does the same thing just a small rattle and you dont really notice it unless your looking out for it
Yes u are right.
come from volume rocker.
seem holes have too much play.
Im pretty sure its the camera autofocus mechanism you are hearing. Same on all devices with autofocusing cameras.

That's exactly right.
ja.
tried with my phone.
same type of sound.
In my particular case, the camera is the culprit. It seems that the black piece inside the metal square chassis rattles when you tap it. When the vibration motor is active, it rattles the camera inside. Just sharing since it seems this issue has popped up a couple times.
Only solution I can think is to take out the black camera piece from the chassis and maybe stuff it a little tighter or order a new replacement, but the camera could be made that way. I'll take it apart again later today to see if there is some space for small paper or something to keep it still.
I've been getting this rattle for awhile now and was wondering what it was. Between the touch screen and bootloop, this is the third strike.
I also have a sound from the sound vibration motor, but its not so much a rattle sound, more of a beeping/squealing sound. Is this normal? Its not very loud but it annoys me when typing in a quiet room. Remember I had the exact same sound on my last LG phone so maybe its an engineering thing or the brand of vibration motor.

I noticed this on the forums too. I listened for this but couldn't find it. If I put my ear really close to the motor I heard a small whine, but it seemed like it was something else rather than the motor because it was constant. I will say the rattle could sound higher pitched to others depending on movement. My sound is a small rattle but I could see how maybe it could vary to a squeaking or squealing noise to some.

This is how mine sounds, mic is right next to the phone so its louder than during normal use. You have this to?

The camera has Optical Image Stabilization. Packing the gaps will stop this working. The rattling is just the camera moving around.

Did you listen to the sound in my video? You have that to? Its mostly when using haptic feedback on home and back buttons and the third button down at the bottom
My top speaker has more bass than the bottom one
This is normal?
Bottom speaker has thiner sound too
I noticed the top is louder in general. Noticed when I was holding it in landscape. If you cover the top one and listen, versus the bottom one and listen, the top speaker is definitely louder. So no, it's not just your phone.

I was about to open a Topic about this... i notice this ,, problem '' as well... I was going to ask if the speakers are supposed to be 50-50, but now that you clarify this, for sure the bottom one is not that loud like the top one... I thought my phone has a problem... lol )

My mobile phone does not have this phenomenon, what is your mobile phone version now? Have you had this problem since the purchase? How much louder do you think the top speaker is than the bottom speaker?

190 is coming oon with A.I portrait shots from videos
I gave also noticed that the top speaker is louder with more bass than the bottom
Like most have said putting the set up in mono sounds alot louder and fuller which I prefer to the stereo set up
If I stick my ear right against the speakers. Then the top one is slightly louder.
