So when i tap the back of my phone near the camera i hear a rattle. Like something is loose. I think its normal because all of the phones ive owned has done it (droid x, droid bionic, bold 9650, etc). The only phone ive owned that hasnt done it is the bold 9930 (cause it didnt have autofocus im assuming).
I read its cause the lense is free floating or something? Any ideas when manufactures will fix this? Very annoying on a $700 phone. Lol
Thanks!
 
wow, never noticed that until i put my ear about 2 inches away and tapped pretty hard.

chalk this one up to......who cares (in my book) not something i noticed before, and i dont use my phone as a drum so i doubt i will ever hear this again.

sorry it bothers you though...lol

Wait...you don't use your phone as a drum? Why even buy it then? You are missing out on one of the core features of the GNex. Heck, I got the GNex over the Rezound because of its ability to serve as a drum when I forget mine. It has saved me and my band's life numerous times on gigs.

My gosh, if you cannot manage to use all of the features of the GNex, go get an iPhone already.

Damn, your right.
*gives nexus to neighbor and walks to verizon (head hung low) to buy the Iphone4s*
 
I see people who complain about stuff like this the same way that I see young children who run up to you and say, "LOOKIT! It hurts REAL bad when I do THIS!" while they bend back their fingers really far or poke themselves in the eye.

The response is always the same, "Well, stop doing that then."

Applies here as well.

big mistake. my wife's iPhone makes the same rattle. Rather than the autofocus, I think I recall reading that it was the accelerometer/gyroscope or some such thing.

lol, good point. Still, though, you can hear it from regular usage and not just shaking/ using it as a drum stick. Or maybe it's just those of us with really good, can-hear-bat-frequencies hearing who constantly hear it. ;)
