When i knock the phone near the rear camera lens i heard some sort of sound like the lens were loosely fitted...Please confirm it to me once...Thanks

Yes it is there. I guess it is one of the sensors.

I can't describe the sound but its prominent. Something similar to rattling sound.

That's perfectly normal IMO. I have heard these similar sounds in Samsung flagships and other OEMs before at different places. Enjoy your device till the time it is under warranty and it doesn't has any adverse effect on the day to day device functionality.

Wow i thought i am the only one. Yes it does make a rattling around .. even if i drop the phone on my bed from ≥15-20cm. And also if you tap on the area beside the camera lens, you get to hear a blank tapping sound. Is it so?

Correct !

Yep. It makes the sound...

Hey, not you not me but every A50 user is reporting this to samsung and it said that it just a sound from the lens which is used for autofocus. So nothing to worry about it ?

I am facing the same issue. Rattling sound when I tap the backside of the phone.
What can be done for this? It has increased from last week.

Sounds like something is loose

I am hearing a clicking sound near the speaker when I hit gently the upper part of the phone.
Is this normal or something is loose inside. This happened from the beginning.
Any insight of what might make this sound is welcome.
Thank you
I think mine has some noise as well when i hit the top part of the phone.
You hear the shutter/focus part of your phone... Htc hero, Htc diamond, htc Legend all ''rattle'' when you tap them near the camera.

Sorry for saying this but I am quite happy to see I am not alone on this one. The thing that I hate the most is sending to warranty a new product.
Maybe someone knows more of this sound.

Need to remember - Only 1 meter down deep :silly:
What do you guys think about the water resistance of this phone while earphones are plugged in?
I'm not sure if it would survive a run in the rain while listening to music. But that's one thing i would like to do and also one of the reasons i bought this phone.
Sent from my LT26w using xda app-developers app
it is water "resistance" so you will screw it if you put in on water when one of those ports covers are open or even not "properly closed"! but if you use a bluetooth headset you will be still fine cuz the cover is not open anymore! and under the water i just tried to unlock the screen but it didnt work "perfect"! the screen was still working but not perfect not as good as it works out of water but when the screen is wet out of water like when u just take the phone out of water it works good!
Brave man indeed lol XD
Afik it is only ip 56 or 57...
That is a looooong way from water proof...
So keep that in mind if you really want to test it...
And have a look at a ip list to see what ip56/57 really is about...
I would like to see a ip68 phone instead...

^should be okay if the phone is not completely exposed. newer phone can be dunked in water briefly and still survive (iphone 4/ galaxy s3)

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Speaker Noise When Volume Muted

I'm just making this thread in the hope that this is a fixable problem, so here goes...
If I mute the tablet by lowering the volume until it is off and then play music or a youtube video, or indeed anything else that would normally result in sound through the speakers, I can hear a quiet noise that sounds a little bit like an old 56k modem trying to connect, sort of squelchy chirps and tweets.
I can recreate this every time, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, did you find a workaround or a fix? I found a thread on another forum where others were having the same problems here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-pro-8-4-random-noise-coming-out-speaker.html
It's easy to test, just go to youtube via your browser or the android app and play a video that has sound with your volume as low as it'll go.
Thanks!
My 8.4 does the same thing

Same problem that became even more persistent when I installed CM11 to my 8.4.
Kind of annoying problem, wonder if there can be a software fix for it...

I'm going to speak to Samsung later, I'll let you know what they say. Hopefully there will be a software fix.
I've spoken to Samsung, they are aware of the fault and are looking into it, but they say that it is a hardware fault and the tablets will need replacing. So back mine goes today for a replacement.

Interesting. I guess I'll try to return mine at Best Buy before my 15-day return period is up. Any clue if Best Buy checks to see if the warranty void flag has been tripped or do they generally just accept the return regardless?

I've no idea about Best Buy, sorry bud, I'm from the UK :good: The place I got mine from insist on a reference number from Samsung before they will authorise a return. Fortunately, Samsung were really helpful.
I've returned mine 3 times and had the problem with all of the tablets. Samsung said there is no reported issues

Mine is not having this, or at least I can hear it
Finally got my replacement, it seems to working ok, just a very faint hiss with my ear up against it, so all's good.
I returned mine to Best Buy, (almost) no questions asked. I'll probably wait a while before picking up a replacement. Probably won't get it again until a price drop on the device.
I have the same problem, looks like all the Tab Pro 8.4 suffer from it, it only appears when I open an app/game with sound and mute it. Will be best if we all call Samsung and make them to "report" this issue.

Open any game, mute the Media sound and listen to the speaker, if you don't hear any noise you are one of the lucky ones

My replacement 8.4 doesn't have the fault, same batch, same retailer. Seems to be luck of the draw.

I bought it from sears because I had some points to spend. Took it back and reordered one from them 3 times.
First noticed this playing minecraft. Now it's all I hear and I really love this tablet. Ugh..
Edit: Returned to Best Buy. Pains me to do it but this is a killer issue.
I had beeen waiting for this tablet, Love the tablet but had to return it due to this issue. It's very loud in a quiet room.
I checked at store, even the display unit had the noise defect.
My replacement arrives next week but in the mean time I just taped over the speaker grilles... solves the issue completely. It does muffle the sound but I still find it loud enough that I don't notice the muted effect in daily use. Gaffers tape works well - almost no residue, tears perfectly straight, and has a nice fabric feel like hockey tape.

They let you keep the old while sending a replacement? Where did you buy yours? Samsung replacing?
Bhphoto - they charge u for the 2nd then refund when the 1st comes back. Excellent customer service and 30day return policy

Nope it's all fine.

Because the right one is a microphone not a speaker?
the right side is not a speaker.
Interesting, thanks for the info. Sure made them look the same.

I'm facing an issue of a grey area. When i spoke with a Google person, he said it might be because of the beta

Have you looked at the lens closely to see if there is any dust on or under the lens?

This is the spot you're talking about right? I highlighted it by circling and drawing an arrow. It's interesting it's not in your panoramic pic multiple times but maybe it's getting cropped out. Is it in that spot only while holding the phone vertically and then moves when taking a pic horizontal?

It appears in all pictures but doesn't appear multiple times in pano. Actually never observed that in a long pano. When I spoke with a Google executive, he mentioned he cannot help as I was using a beta version. He asked me to revert to 8.1 and see if the issue still persists...I haven't tried it yet
