Lumia Rattle Noise

[brummiesteven]

When I shake the phone there's a rattling noise, it could be the battery or something like that, is this normal or should I take it back to store?

Unless it's loud and feels like something has fallen off, it might be the camera or the accelerometer.

Accelerometer is an aside, no audible moving parts.

just gave mine a shake and i will admit im not in the quietest office but i could not hear anything. If i was you i would take to the store to be safe i mean they should just straight swap it over.

I meant to type "ASIC," silly autocorrect changed it on my atrix.

Yup, I have that too. I noticed it when I followed the 'shake' tip in App Highlights.

It's like one of the bigger parts isn't secured, possibly the battery. It makes a muffled click-clack noise when I shake the phone. But I have to really shake it, when I turn it over or move swiftly it doesn't occur.

Just to let everyone know (esp the guy above me) I took it back and got a replacement, the replacement makes no noise on shake at all so it definitely is some kind of fault (albeit a small one).

Like, robinVerdegaal says I think it was the battery. Mine was pretty loud (you could hear it rattle in a loud room) and I also noticed it when using the Suprise Me function on the App Highlights app.

Thanks brummiesteven. I didn't have a real problem with the loose part, but as I've also had a couple of touchscreen and touchbutton freezes (see this thread) I'll probably go and get a replacement as well.

I think that may be a software problem, I too have a similar issue, screen works fine but none of the buttons on the side work, volume, power, camera etc. It only happens when connected to power which is why I think it's a software problem.
