Something loose inside?

---

I'm sure this is something attributable to the mechanics of the camera module but...

Hold your Hero near the bottom. Then lightly tap the camera end against your other hand. Do you hear something kinda loose/shaking? I think it's maybe the autofocus mechanism, as I hear the same sort of sound when the camera activates.

Just wondering if you all notice this too?

Nope, nothing at all with mine. All sounds... well there is no sounds, its just solid and well built

Hmm... anyone else notice this?

This is a bump for anyone who can confirm or deny that their Hero has this issue, before I seven-day it for another one. I don't want a slightly rattly phone

Cheers.

Yeah - I feel a slight vibration. Like a camera autofocus system. Not a problem, feels well built, but it's definitely there.

Yes, I can hear the "rattle" too - I seriously doubt it is indicative of a problem though.

No noise on mine sorry

You guys saying "Nope no noise on mine" must be deaf , I work for Orange in the UK and we have 10 Graphite Heros in the stockroom and they all do this, also a friend has a white hero and his does the same incase you guys thought it might be only on the Graphite ones Orange stock.

Im pretty sure its the autofocus, so i wouldnt worry! and the guys saying they cant hear it must not be listening for the right sound! faint tapping noise when you gently pat the phone on your palm.

Yeh that is it exactly. It's a bit annoying as im easily irritated by that kind of thing. Good to know its normal tho, guess I won't send it back now. Actually I heard the same noise from my friends touch HD today aswell.

Just seemed quite noticeable on mine but I'm probably imagining that.

It detracts somewhat from the otherwise solid build, that a slight rattle can be heard when you kinda toss the phone around in your palm or from hand to hand. Makes it feel a bit less solid.
