hello guys a did buy a a3 2017 but i want to ask if its normal if i shake the phone that i hear a rattle noise?
Same fenomen on A3 (2016) but I need to shake it really hard. My guess is that it's the buttons rattling when it gets in contact with the metal body.
Don't think it's anything to worry about.

yes i need to shake a little bit harder to hear it but i have also a case on it so it cant be the buttons i think?
It's the focus mechanism in the camera. Some phones it's more clear than on others. Nothing to worry about. Start the camera app, shake the phone and you will see that it's gone.

If I tap just below the camera on the back cover I can hear a slight rattle, almost like a loose component. You can slightly hear it if you shake the phone but it becomes louder when tapping it.
Does anyone else have this or is it just me?

What you hear is probably the camera lens - the bit that moves inside to focus the subject. Its like it on all phones with this type of lens (had it on HD and HD2).
Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it was meant to be like that and the it isnt faulty.
Its problably the volume rocker, its a bit loose fit. It is the rattle with me..
When I tap my phone on back cover near the camera there is a distinct rattling sound. It's as if there is something loose inside the phone.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Nothing here, for me build quality is superb!
mines nearer to lower left section of back cover behind the home key but only just a minor creak.. to be expected with a plastic construction I guess (waiting for HTC to release a Legend type unibody on Desire)...

Same problem here. I'm going crazy from this sound. It seems that it is something in camera construction (maybe autofocus?) because when I take photos I get the same sound.

It's your camera.
A lot of phones that doesn't have fixed focus will have this issue. It's due to the lence moving inside its housing, creating that rattling sound.
My previous 3gs had it, my desire has it now. Nothing to worry about, but really annoying
-e
Same here. Unfortunately it seems that this is a problem with HTC Desire.
No, its a problem with the cameras HTC uses. My Hero had the same rattle. so did the phone a friend uses. Other brands have the rattle as well.
It's just part of the camera and autofocus. wouldn't exactly call it bad build quality as well...

Thanks for the replies guys.
I had better stop tapping it if it's the camera! LOL
Wasn't sure if I should request exchanget but if they are all the same then no point.
Presumably it's the rattle that lets the camera zoom optically?
My N82 has this too. I'm pretty sure most autofocus camera phones will have this. I certainly don't think its a problem or a build quality issue. Does anyone NOT have that rattle when they sahke there phone upside down?
I have the rattle aswell. Oddly enough I have an LG Viewty with auto and manual focus and it doesn't have the same rattle. My N95 8GB didn't have the rattle either. My digital camera doesn't rattle either when I tap the lense. I'm guessing that it's just because the lense isn't that great.
Some devices are known to have this problem. Is is coming from the camera and is perfectly normal.
No rattles here, however frame of my desire is a bit... bent. You know, that brown part?
I pushed in so it's kinda ok now, but from some angles I can see light leaking out.
Some with trackball, the ball is a bit pushed to the right side, so light leaks out on the left side.
Kinda bummed for that, I mean this is after all quite expensive piece of technology...
EDIT: after some knocking around, there's that rattle, ARGHHHHH
It's the autofocus mech in the camera.
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.
I know the back panel of our phone is "plastic", but recently I just realised there's a slight rattling on the top back area when I shake the phone – or rather hit the phone to my hand. There's no such rattling when I shake the bottom part, though. Is it a normal phenomenon in the phone? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

it sounds even when resting on surfaces in my model a505g
The thread didn't explain anything. One person mentioned it might be because of OIS, but I think we all agree that the phone doesn't have OIS
The autofocus mechanism is a movable part.This sound is produced when this movable part hits the camera housing due to the clearance between them. This is profound in old low quality smartphones.
Very sad it exists in A50.

I have that sound even on my samsung note 5 and it was a flagship device. The sound is a bit different than the a50 but still there is sound.

It will usually be very mild in flagships.
My previous phone MiA1 had no such issue or may be it was too mild to be heard but my first smartphone Micromax canvas 2 had double the sound of A50.
Hold the phone up to your ear like your talking on it and shake it in the direction away from and back to your ear several times, you hear something like somethings loose? I had always brushed it off thinking it was the sliding lens cover of my case but had the case off and noticed it still made the rattling.
same here also
Yes, it's normal. The OIS of the camera make that noise. No worries...

Correct. And that's why camera modules die when they are mounted on a motorcycle or mountain bike ^^ They dont like too much vibrations.
