I havea question, when I touch screen I hear "tap, tap" sound. In center of screen it's biggest, in top and bottom it's lowest. I came from samsung phones and none one has this sound. Maybe, that's should be.
I on latest software relese and this isn't famous Google bug.

Are you talking about an actually sound coming from speakers, or are you talking about physical hollow sound coming from tapping the display. If it's the latter then every pixel 2 xl has this. Theory is that Google left a reverb chamber underneath the screen for the speakers. You'll notice that the screen vibrates a lot when playing sound over the speakers. The probably left that space there to counteract that. In return, the display sound hollow in the middle compared to. The top and bottom when you tap it. It's especially noticeable when tapping it with your finger nail.

That's normal and there's nothing you can do about that. Like I said. It's either a design feature or a flaw. Either way, every pixel 2 xl has it.
I don't have any typing sounds when touching screen, only ones I had was the normal sounds you can turn off in settings

He's not talking about a typing sound. He's talking about the hollow sound you hear when you tap the middle of the display. Just use your nail to tap the center of your screen. Now do the same on the screen where your navigation keys and status bar are. You'll notice that it sounds hollow in the center and solid near the other two areas.
Not like this issue hasn't been discussed before

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.

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
Hi guys,
I was tapping around the phone to see if there's any camera lens rattle like some of the previous iPhones I had but instead I noticed that the bottom half of the body would vibrate slightly when it was tapped on.
It vibrates very slightly and not a big issue (but sucks to have OCD problems). You would have to tap harder than how you would normally use the phone. Yea I know, no one would tap it like that, but was wondering if anyone else with 5T or even 5 had similar 'issue'.
I think the vibration motor moves a bit when the phone is tapped hard enough and it's causing the phone to vibrate slightly. You can also hear the 'ting ting' noise if you put your ear against the ear piece and tap the bottom part of the phone.
Keeping my speaker grills clean however they just don't seem to sound that great anymore.
The top of the phone is alot quieter than the bottom and the right hand side is more powerful than the left (when position of the phone in portrait mode)
Mainly the phones running from the speaker bottom right.
My tweet to Razer
@razersupport another issue of concern
When using the #RazerPhone in portrait for reference
The bottom speaker is alot more powerful the the top and the right is alot more powerful than left.
Order of Power from speakers
1) Bottom Right
2) Bottom Left
3) Top Right
4) Top Left
My sound is just at the point where I need headphones as when watching media it's all been driven from the bottom right speaker.
There are only 2 speakers in the Razer phone, top and bottom. There is no left and right.
Thanks for letting me know now. It's just odd the power seem to be towards the right of the phone.
If you cover up the left it's like it doesn't make much difference but when you cover the right it goes very quite.
In portrait mode you can hear most of the sound in the bottom right speaker

Once again. There are ONLY 2 speakers. No bottom right or top left. Just up or down. Thata it. And if one does not sound like the other then your phone is defective.

That's because top speaker is located right in the middle of the decorative grill, and the bottom one is in the right corner.
That woul make alot of sense. i am aware there is only two speakers but just wasnt sure what the placement of them are within the phone.
yes the speaker grills are the full width of the phone but to me doesnt sound like they are as big as the grills based on the strengh of the sound coming out of them. Logged a call with Razer to get it checked out but wanted to get some feedback from other users of the phone if this is normal for them too.
Covering up vairous parts of the grill wasnt something i did when i got the phone but noticing a few things like turning the phone to watch videos the bottom speaker is always more power then the top making it horrible to watch videos without headphones.
For me watching videos in landscape rotation is perfectly fine, both speakers are equally loud and sound great (best smartphone loudspeakers imo and definitely loudest).
Watch this video, at 0:45 - 1:00 you can see actual speaker holes under the grills: https://youtu.be/lUVG7_uDWSg
My G8's volume is lower in the upper speaker than in the lower speaker.
Is your G8 the same too?

LG G8 doesn't have upper speaker. It has only lower speaker and sound from the screen. If you mean that so yes it really sounds not as loud as lower speaker.
It seems there are 2 "speakers" in the screen. You can actually see them if you have no protector on and angle the screen in certain ways or put some liquid on the glass.

I thought there's something like a strip of speaker inside a screen.

Thank you for answering. Its meaning is correct.
I was able to improve the volume difference by using DTS.
If you adjust the equaliser and put everything on high it makes it even louder.
Try it.
