Sounds like somthings loose when it vibrates

i have just brought an iphone 4s and when it vibrates it sounds like something is loose. tried taking it back and they are now saying its water damaged and wont refund me and help with this problem would be much apreciated

I believe you're referring to this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541784
I do believe the rattle is coming from the autofocus system. If you look at the lens itself while it is focusing, you can see that the part actually moves. That being said, I assume that this part also moves when the device is shaken or put down.

I have similar problem, but mine doesn't sound like a loose screw, more like the battery or vibration component is loose. When I shake the phone left to right abit I can feel that it's around the top area. Very annoying, besides that it works fine. Gonna

It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.

IPhone 4s sounds like something is loose when it vibrates?

Ok well I have the iPhone 4s. When it vibrates, I can hear some buzzing noise that sounds like something is loose. When I put pressure on the bottom right corner of the phone, it doesn't make the buzzing noise. I've read a few things online about other people having the same problem. I guess it's due to a new vibration system? I dunno. It's not the worst possible defect. The buzzing isn't too loud, but it is annoying and obnoxious. Anyone else having this issue?

Same problem here. I wish there was a way to merge the similar posts about the 4S rattle problem so Apple can see that it is an issue. So far I've dealt with 4 Apple employees for this issue. The first, an in-store Genius, told me that since his phone also has the rattle it must be normal. The second was phone support. She told me that I was the first person to bring this issue to her attention and it definitely isn't right. She suggested I go to my local Apple store and ask for a replacement. I did, so now my third Apple person was a Genius. He again told me that even though he could hear the problem it sounded normal to him. I called Apple support again (employee number 4). Again they said that I was the first person to call with the problem. She started to suggest a restore but stopped herself cause I think she realized how dumb that was about to sound. In the end she basically said to deal with it and call back if it gets worse.
Awesome job on this one Apple. Please officially acknowledge the problem so your employees can get on the same page.

8830 with softward upgrade, sounds like a transform when i am answering the phone.

So wild, when someone call and I hit the green button it sounds like a that sound the transforms make. OR sounds like someone is putting their microphone upto a speaker. I wonder if anyone is having this issue also. 8830 on Bell Mobility, just got the phone as an RMA.
PS- this is my 5th unit this year so I am trying to make sure its not a software issue before I lose it on Bell and RIM.

See earlier post re TINNY SOUND ON 8800 AFTER SOFTWARE UPGRADE.
I've had problems since upgrading 8800 software from ver 4.2, to ver. 4.5. So far, no help from BB (RIM) or Rogers.
Good luck.

Volume dipping in and out and sounds like its underwater when plugging my guitar amp in through iRig??

I've just got my first mac that I'm just getting used to, but I've been using garageband on my iPhone for about a year with no problems. I've tried recording my guitar on the mac using my iRig which is what I've been using before, and the sound is awful! The volume keeps going up and down and it sounds like its underwater, whereas it was clear as day on my phone. I've tried turning the compressor off and fiddling with different things but nothings working. I'd really appreciate the help if anybody knows what to do. Thanks

Oh, one other spot you might check for level control,
in the Track Info window there is a "volume" control.
This may or may not be enabled ... I kinda' think
for the Mac's Line-In it is enabled
Yes, it is enabled and directly linked to the input volume control in System Prefs. If you have both windows open, you can watch the slider in prefs move as you change the volume in Track Info.
BTW, increasing the various gain controls on my amp does alter the input volume. The change isn't huge, but it is noticeable.
thanks again.

I wish to have a sound, like a peep, when receiving a new email

Another question how do I get ride of the American dictionary when using the spell-corrector?I know how to put them in and not delete them.

Hi Sylvain,
Were just oher users here, but what is this charger for?

My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound. It does it at least once a day. I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup. Help! This is so annoying.

My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound. It does this at least once a day. It started about a month ago. Anyone got any ideas?

Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day. I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc. I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there. Will repost if that has any efect.

A tiny little cry for help: mic in bootcamp makes me sound like a mouse!

I posted this on the InsanelyMac forum, and I thought I'd post it here too because I'm just that desperate for help... thanks in advance for reading.
I run a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo. When Snow Leopard came out I installed it and partitioned my drive to allow me to run Windows via bootcamp for the purpose of playing Aion with my husband.
The game works fine, although it only works correctly when I'm hooked to my large Dell monitor. The built-in display makes the mouse/cursor not function correctly in-game.
But that's relatively minor... the biggest problem is that the built-in mic, as well as any mic I plug into the Line In, makes me sound like a mouse when I speak. I SO don't want to be known as the squeaky mouse over ventrilo. (The problem occurs in a regular sound recorder too, so it is NOT ventrilo specific).
The audio device is listed as Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID 0x83847680, Audio ID 30 - whatever that means.
When I dive into the Control Panel audio preferences when booted into Windows, the driver is listed as IDT audio.
Audio output seems to function perfectly.
I would sure appreciate help if anyone has expertise or experience with this sort of thing. I'm at a little bit of a loss.
TIA,
Jen

Hey, I had a thought, I don't know if it'll work and won't get the chance to find out until later tonight if I'm not too tired or until later tomorrow.
I think that if the IDT drivers aren't installed in the first place, perhaps the issue can be averted entirely. However, it's going to take a bit of knowledge to do and some patience. The partition will need to be remade entirely so that one may end up with a fresh operating system. When the SL disk is put into the computer, instead of running the full driver setup, pick the drivers directly off the disk by exploring its folders and only install the ones you need. Instead of using the IDT drivers, I believe the SL disk also has Realtek HD audio drivers (if I remember correctly from the last time I looked). My thought is that this manual method can prevent having to deal with the IDT drivers which I believe are part of the issue.
I understand that reinstalling XP is a process in itself, but this is the only solution I can think of. If manually installing doesnt work, my next move would be to use the drivers that come off the Leopard disk instead of the SL disk.
Like I said, this is just a thought I have so when I get to it later I'll let you know how it goes unless you decide to give it a try before me.

Laptop sounds like a chainsaw

My laptop makes like a wierd grinding noise. I took it in for repair less than a week ago and the fan was replaced. However after getting it back it has returned to its usual grinding noise . It will make the same noise every couple of seconds. I have recorded a video of the sound and uploaded it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfkICMGyxH8, could it be a problem with the hardrive as I have read somewhere else, please help

I agree, that isn't coming from the Hard Drive, I've never heard a hard drive make a sound like that. When you got it back from repair did it make that sound right away or did it take a while? Is it making the exact same sound that it was making before you brought it in? Where was it that you got it repaird at? I ask because it sounds like it is coming from the fan, but if it was just replaced, then there is something that the fan is hitting or something, but I doubt that. Almost sounds as if a bearing in the fan is gone and that is what all that noise is about. Just making sure that they actually replaced it!

My right speaker sounds like blown only at the startup sound

I was recently cleaning up my macbook pro 15inch Intel Core 2 duo 2,4 Model macbookPro 5,1 and used onyx. After onyx finished its work it restarted the macbook and the right speaker sounded like blown. I played some music but the speaker was playing clear. I formatted the macbook and installed the same OS x but still the blown sound on startup remained. I upgraded to mountain lion but still the speakers sounds like blown only when computer starts up. I have cleanded the PRAM, PMU, fixed disk permissions but still is not going away. I am pretty sure is a problem of the software or something that onyx did to the system but have no idea what it is. anyone has an idea or something?
Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

Sounds like underwater!

I have an iphone 3GS and have downloaded Iphone 4 software as soon as it was released. A few months ago I started getting this sound, like being underwater, when dialling out and receiving calls. Does not happen all the time but enough to make it annoying. I have Googled and see other people have same trouble - but no cure - Please help. Paul Australia

I have the same problem with all of my voice mails. Voicemails are left from cell phones and land lines. I haven't tried to listen to voicemails from a landline though.

Software that makes textedit sound like typewriter

i am looking for a software that will make my MBP keyboard sound like a typewriter when I write text.
I have found several programs that will do that, but it will do that on everything I type on my computer, emails,
forms, etc. I only want to write text and have the keyboard sound like a typewriter.
Anyone know of a program like that? I also found OmmWriter but I don't care for the music and other sounds.
Just want a program to write text, sounding like typewriter.

Airport extreme sounds like a harddrive

My Airport Extreme sounds like a harddrive when I send data over wifi.
For a three meter radius it's really annoying and it's not possible to open without destroying it.
Does anyone had this before?
regards Kai

Your AirPort Extreme should be "whisper" quiet throughout its operation. Noises, are you are describing, could potentially be caused by faulty or failing electronic circuitry. The Extreme does not employ an internal fan as you can see from the following Vonwentzel reference.

My ipod speaker is sounding like there is something inside of it vibrating when i play any music through it. what do i do

the other day i droped my ipod in the snow and now the speakers sound like there is water inside of it. I don't know what to do and i would really like this to be fixed. i have no idea how much it will cost to get it fixed!

Place the iPod in a sealed container with uncooked rice for a but a week and periodically change the rice. The will remove the water/moisture.
If still problem
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Fix it yourself if you are up to it. Might be hard if yo d not know the root cause.
