Moto X users: Does your phone do this?

[emd023]

when i set my phone down i can hear something inside of it making a rattling sound, like there is something loose inside. i then found that when i tap the camera lens on the back with my finger, i can hear the rattle. does anyone else have this problem? thanks

Moved to the moto x forums so users with the same device can help you

Cheers :beer:

No, I have no rattle or sound of any sort. That doesn't seem at all right, maybe call Moto (or your carrier if you got it there) and see about getting a new one.

i went into US cellular and they told me that they all make that rattle sound. seems like bullshit to me.

No sounds coming from mine. My guess, a plastic tab broke when the casing was snapped together?

 

[macgiobuin]

Phones should NOT rattle inside unless they are pink and for 2 year olds....

I can hear what you are talking about. I have the black mesh back, what do you have?

Mine does this as well. So did my RAZR maxx and my wife's iPhone 4s. The rattle is in the camera.

The sound isn't audible if I just place the phone down or use it normally. In order to hear the sound by the camera lens, I have to shake the device and hold it to my ear, and it's pretty minimal. I wouldn't be surprised if it's normal when looking at the phone (dis)assembly, but it doesn't bother me since I have to actively try to hear it.

No sound at all with my Moto X or my Wife's white Moto X... Both SILENT!

Mine does it too, all my phones have had it, it's the camera.

I have never owned a phone with a "rattle" in it.

I"ve owned plenty of phones that a small rattling sound came from the camera lense, I just bought a Moto X and its in the mail, but I have a Galaxy Note 3, never dropped it and just shook it and heard the same noise from my lense, not saying it should or shouldn't, but I've never had a smart phone that I didn't notice the sound coming from it. I'd say don't worry about it.

Mine does it too... I almost wonder if the buttons are rattling around a little bit... I'm not concerned.

I'm not sure, but can it be a setting, that makes a sound, when you shake the phone it takes a picture ?? I just checked mine and no sound either.

 

[saptech]

I just checked my Moto G and not hearing any sounds when I shake it.

Mine doesn't rattle, but I was watching a YouTube review the other day and the reviewer said that on the backside near the bottom just above the carrier logo (VZW on mine) there is a soft spot that when you gently press it, it sounds like something sticky.

We all just fell for the "I bet I can make you shake your phone prank" didn't we.
