Greetings All,
this is my first windows mobile device ever (although i'm a .Net Developer)
i noticed one strange thing in my X1, whenever i shake the mobile i hear a sound like there is something inside the device (upper side) moving freely!
does anyone else have the same thing? or should i return the device for replacement?
Also mine!
And also other three device that I check.
So I think it's normal.
Herard that as well...but it was reportet only if you hold your X1 vlosely to your ear...
What you hear might be the vibrator.
All the X1's have it, I was also worried when I received mine and made a thread. Haven't found/spoke to one person who hasn't got it yet. One person rang them up and asked if it was supposed to be like that and was told it is, but still no idea why.
As previously said it could be the vibrator.
Well, ok then! but i wonder where it's comming from.
i will check it out when i open the device. but i don't want to void my warranty so soon
I think it's the optical joystick. Hold the phone upside down and listen.
The vibrator is placed in the opposite corner.
Hi.
I confirm, on mine, the sound comes from the optical joystick.
mine has it too, but it's not the optical joystick.
maybe an accelerometer?
no accelerometer. everyone has it i think. no need to worry.
nope, not the optical joystick.
im not worried about it any more.
I guess no one should be. the good thing is that time will reveal the truth about this.
if I came to know anything about this I will immediately post it here.
looooooooool
your "scary" sounds is from volume keys and camera button Take in hand blocking them and you can't ear anything (at least, on my device )
no camera or volume keys. It is from inside.
Anyway, it sounds like an orientation sensor, not necessarily an accelerometer, but who knows?
HTC did it, so it might be there waiting to be activated from drivers )))
Maybe SE has an Xmas surprise for us )))
I find it slightly irritating, as when I have the phone in a car holder it vibrates and makes an annoying rattling sound. I daren't open the phone up to find it, so I guess I'll just have to be irritated...

yeah, that's what I think it is.
all gadgets I have that do a similar sound, have a g-sensor inside...
let's hope the update comes soon, as we are with a really "beta" firmware currently :_>
No boy.
It's a simple noise. If you press the upper and bottom part (display and keyb) you can hear no sound.

i tried everything, but the sound didn't go away, until i saw your post!
yes, it's not there anymore!!!! but when you stop pressing, it comes back!
Yes, mine is exactly the same Got to be from the slider mechanism. Anyone got some pictures of it?
No need to worry....the first day i when i recived my x1 i also shaked it the whole day. But then I read in a german forum that this is the gearwheel of the slider...everyone in that forum also said that he had that ticking noise.
BUT
I have another problem with the slider.When I use the touchscreen (especially in the right upper corner) the screen drawback a bit and its like pushing a button because when i release the pressure it makes a little tick. i think this has to do with the mounting of the slider.

Dunnam
was at the service centre .. for other issues too.. they told me the rattle function is just the loose keys.. i got owned ! lol

Hello,
today I recognized the frist time, that there is a little clank when I shake the phone a littlebit. Is this normal? This is the first time I heard it.
Greetings
Pluppi
yeah, have that too...seems to come from that optical joystick which has little play
Thanks for your post. But if I hold the stick and shake it, it also clanks. If you phone and you are going i think that is a littlebit disturbing.
Don't worry about it, I seemed to have been the first person who asked this on another forum and quite a few people replied back saying they had the same.
Someone even rang SE and asked them, they said it is perfectly normal. Though no explanation as to what it is. I thought it was more of a rattle than a clank.
The sound is comming from two plastic wheel barrels. These two plastic wheel barrels are located in the slider function for the Display.
Might be able to see what it is in these videos:

Hi i have question.In me Sony Ericsson xperia X1 from first day somethink rattling in side.Exactly in high side ceel phone (around picture camera lens)If i only litle shake with this cell phone you can easy hear this ratttling.You have this problem with your Xperia???i makc phone call to sony ericsson technic today and he said.This rattling is regular.if you have any experience let me now please?Thank you.
Dont worry, it is for all the X1.
There was a thread here for the same "isue"
it's one of the buttons...
Rattling
No it not one of the buttons im sure about this this rattling is inside the cell phone.
it's the lens
Hi,
that noise you hear is the lens in a certain focus position.
I found, that in a certain position the lens it moves and makes noise.
After using a program called QuickMark, my lens keeps moving and to fix it I've to open the camera and press the camera button till it moves the lens for changing the focus.
After that, no more noise.
There are actually two different sources for the rattling noise.
If you shake you your phone up/down in it's horizontal position you will hear the lens. If you shake it up/down in it's vertical position, you will hear the supporting wheels for the sliding mechanism.
I dont think its the support wheels for the sliding mechanism, i beleive its the touch D pad that makes the rattling noise
Try holding the touch D pad and shaking it - the rattling noise will be significantly lower (considering the camera rattling)

I thought that too at first, but by holding the touch pad you also give the screen part of the phone a press enough to letting the wheels rest on the keyboard part, thus lowering the noise. When not pressing the two parts together, the wheels have no contact to the keyboard part, which give them free movement to rattle.
really?, I'm pretty sure its the Dpad, try wedging like a bit of paper between the touchpad and Dpad keys [thick enough to stop the touchpad from moving] then try shaking - rattling solved for me . . .

Nah, not for me.
Conclusion: we have three rattling noises depending on the individual phone. Mine is the supporting wheels and the camera lens, not the touchpad. Yours the opposite.
Glad I'm not having all three of them. On the other hand, it really doesn't bother me, just curious where the noise originates from.
i just notice that mine was doing the same thing 2day. actually i just heard it.
for it its the wheel. cuz at first i dunno wat it is. but then i got a pin and held the wheel down and then shook it again but then no rattle occur.
is this normal?????
i kinda want to get it fix since it did cost alot. and i only had this phone for like 20 days...
it is the sliding mechanism, try pressing the 2 parts of your x together (closing the gap between the screen and the KB) then shake it again, you will find it's gone.
check here for more info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457777
well by pressing down on it it does stop for the time that im holding it down.
but is there a way to fully solve this loose wheel on the sliding mechanism?
i don't think so,
soon you will forget it's there, don't worry
lols yea...i hope so...i just spend soo much on it...i dun want it to just "fall apart" lols
but thanks for the info
It's the camerabutton. Touch it..it's a little loose.
Lol
Who actually shook their phone hard enough to hear this? I just shook mine and I can hear what is said to be te lens but is quite possibly the d-pad, and what is certainly the tiny rattle of the little slider wheels.
Barely noticable, especially since I don't go around shaking my Xperia.
Last night, I flashed Touch-it 5.5 and got some new apps installed ...
Then I tested some of the apps...
Suddenly, I felt something was moving inside my device, exactly like a metal ball clashing the keyboard inside...But there is no G-senser in X1, why a moving ball?
Maybe some components fell apart? HTC ,you son of a...
I tried to slide the keyboard in, the sound got lower for a minute, something broken inside the keyboard?
While I was thinking the metal sound was back to the same level as before...
I placed my device on the table to keep it stable so that the "metal ball" won't move...but the strange noise still there...Definitely like a crazy cockroach hitting her head on the inside wall of a box which locked her for time...It really frustrated me...
Finally, I was thinking of the software even I strongly believe it was nothing about software as it was obviously a metal ball clashing sound. I reset my device...the strange sound disappeared the moment I pressed "yes" to confirm the reset operation...
From then on, everything is ok...Obviously it is nothing about hardware...
Anyone have the same experience?
seems only me...
What would any metal ball do inside Xperia?
Sounds like camera-related to me. Sometimes when you half-press the camera shutter (to make it focus), you can hear loud click (don't know exactly what makes it - either lens being focused or shutter - does Xperia even have a mechanical shutter?). This sound itself is probably perfectly normal - a number of other phones do that.
But in your case either software or hardware went haywire and focused again and again... Also I recall reading something about camera constantly focusing bug in some roms.
noise when shake the phone or when hit with finger. this is normal ? look like a little vibration.
the same here.
perhaps it is the g-sensor?
does somebody know more?
Mine does not.

put your phone in hand and bit with the finger( drop the finger on the buttons, on the metal or on the back)
It's a setting in your phone, i'll translate it from a Dutch device:
Goto Settings and click on the left bottom of the screen on More.
In Tab: System you will find: TouchFlo.
Inthere you can (un)check if you wan't your phone to vibrate or not when touching the screen.
In some occasions my phone still vibrates but i don't find it anoying so i didn't bother that and don't know how to change it.

And your phone drops on the floor and the vibrating is gone because phone is broken.

Nope sorry, no vibration here just the sound of my finger against the case. For example it doesnt rattle/vibrate etc when shaken either.
I read in czech forum about that noise. Somebody wrote there, it could be shade of camera. ???

noise is in bottom part of the phone
I've read about noise nearby camera lens
My phone also does it, I thaught it might be coming from the vibrator inside.

i do think so , just hoping it's not a big problem.
what was the noise by the camera lense? do you have a link?
Hi
I think it is the accelerometer, my laptop which has one to detect if it is falling also makes the same noise.
Regards
Phil
what is the accelerometer? is it normal then or something to worry about. if you tap the top of the phone with your finger you can hear something like a faint ratle or something along them lines.
I think i know the sound you mean, and if we thinking of the same sound its the focuus in the camera. you hear the same sound after you take a photo and the focus releases

Could be indeed. The lens is suspended on a wire spring so an electro magnet can move it in and out to focus. So it would move about if the camera is shaken.
An accelerometer of the type in our phones I think is the same sort of thing, a magnet or coil of wires suspended on a wire spring so it can move about.
The noise is normal.

Phil
Hello,
I have the same noise... i think that is the camera lens or the stylus... not a big problem...
Hello,
I bought yesterday a german Dell Venue Pro 16GB and I am not sure if it is already defective.
I read everywhere (also in the manual) that uit has two speakers at the bottom of the phone.
But i get sound only from the right hole. If i put my finger on the right hole at the bottom, the volume decreases, if i put my finger on the left hole - nothing happens. And I do not know if it is defective or not?! Can anyone tell me if the sound should come out of both "holes"?
And I came from the HD7. The touchscreen-Buttons did work much better with my HD7. I have to press very hard the Windows Button to get it work. Is that normal?
sorry for my bad english - typos are designed and copyright by me ;-)
Thanks for Help!
BTW: nice phone - much better processed than the HD7!! and FW 212
Only one speaker on the DVP although there are two grill for it on the bottom of the phone. As far as the windows button, I've not had any issues with mine on the phones I've had.
Are you pressing the button straight on or kind of hitting it at the top of sides of the lit portion?

To elaborate, the right grill is for the speaker, the left is the mic.
As far as the buttons, I would just make sure that you don't have your hand covering any of the other three buttons while trying to hit the Windows. Other than that, I dunno.
Thanks for response.
It really has only one speaker even though the online Dell manual told me it has two ;-)
The button was a hardware issue. I went to my dealer and got a new one with working button - and only one speaker, too.
Thanks anyhow!
