When shaking the G4, do you hear anything?

[Almighty1]

I noticed today when shaking the G4, it's making a sound like something is loose, does your G4 do the same thing?

No. Mine is firm as a mountain.

Yeah, I can hear the same thing when shaking my phone. The sound comes from somewhere in the upper part of the phone, maybe near the camera. Oh well, this is not a big deal but...A few stuck pixels, some black thingy under the glass that protects the screen, clicking sounds in recorded videos...What's next?

Clicking sounds in recorded videos is because of wifi/ bluetooth being turned ON while using camcorder.Turn OFF bluetooth/wifi and use camcorder and check , you wont find clicking sounds.

It's the volume buttons that make the sound. Nothing to worry about really. Try it. Wiggle the volume button a bit and you'll hear and see it.

In my case it's the power button. It's actually so flimsy that I'm concerned if it should be this way.

Yes, mine rattles near the ear piece. That being said, my in ear sound quantity recently degraded at volumes greater that half. This is my second g4 to have this issue. The audio sounds distorted... Like the speaker is loose?

It's not the volume/power buttons. It's the OIS.

All phones with OIS rattle when being shaked.

Solution: don't shake phone near ear.

Mine rattles slightly when side to side which is normal as the above poster explained with OIS camera phones.

Nice, actually someone posted already, it's the OIS system. I think this kind of thread is bought up in every OIS Camera phone thread

What do you mean it's not the buttons, I can achieve the same rattling by simply repeatedly sliding my finger sideways on the power button

Hold power button down firmly.
Hold volume buttons down firmly.

Put phone next to ear.
Shake like a madman.

Hear rattling.

Ergo: it's not the buttons. It's the parts that make up the OIS :good:

 

[Koostis]

Ah, so the source of the rattling depends on the level of shakiness

Power button here is rock solid.

Exchange phone.

New one will still rattle though. Not the button, the OIS, like it's supposed to :good:

You mean no wiggle in the power/volume buttons at all? Gonna check some G4s at the shop tommorow.

Zero.

On mines, it's the volume buttons, not OIS or power button as if I place my finger on top of the volume buttons by just resting it on top without pressing down, the sound is gone when shaking.

Try shaking harder, that did it for me.

or the OIS is faulty in this case
