So, what do you suppose is the best option as I bought it outright and ATT is not my carrier?
There is still a 14 day return policy regardless of whether you bought it on contract or not.
Right now it seems like all the 920s have the slightly rattle/humming noise. This is probably not a defect, but simply how the vibration motor was designed, and heck, it probably rattles a little extra because of the floating OIS sensor inside. I imagine the rumble makes that thing shake and causes the noise.
I noticed this also, beginning of vibration especially on a hard surface you can hear the tinny rattle.

That's exactly what it is. OP, don't waste your time returning your phone for another. All 900's and 920's do this. I have turned my vibration off and am using sound only and I honestly don't miss any notifications.
I had a similar experience on my HD2. Read here.
That said, is the rattle on the 920 as loud as those on the 900? My friend's 900 has a fairly loud rattle. I'd be able to tolerate something less.
Theverge and engadget have said that noise is the floating (that is spring mounted) lense. Do not return it.

They could fix easily this by simply limiting the max vibration level. Even without the rattle it's far too strong. The haptic feedback vibrations are relatively soft and cause no rattle. Or they could put in a setting to let you choose your vibration level (maybe 1-5 levels). Samsung modifies the OS and puts in extra settings on the settings page so it's not out of the question. Just depends on if Nokia can be made aware and how motivated they are to sort it out.
same here. We got two (white and black). Both of the phones have the same problem with one being slightly louder in the rattle than the other, otherwise almost identical. The phones are otherwise in top shape. If it was just one of them I wouldn't have hesitated to return them. But both the same problem and then many more people with the same problem. I believe that the phones I would get will show the same problem.
It's not too bad, certainly not as bad as others have shown on youtube. Only the first half second of the vibration does it. I hope this can be fixed with a setting after an update.
cheers
Unfortunately, on mine, when I'm on the phone listening to someone, the vibration makes the call unbearable. I will likely have to return it since I have not been hearing others complain about it during calls. I could care less when it vibrates, but during calls is not cool. I'll be honest, I rarely use it for an actual phone anymore, but when I do, I need it to work.

With all the praise for the solid construction of this device I was surprised to hear mine rattle slightly when setting it down on the sofa.
Try holding your phone in your right hand and tap the top edge at the rear with your right index finger.
Does yours rattle too?
Dont have the device yet, but its not surprising to hear that. Although Samsung has done a wonderful job with utilizing space to the maximum, it is plastic after all.
Its surprising to me. A top end device like this should not rattle!
i'd bet any amount of money its the auto foxus mechanism in the cmaera lense. every phone i've owned does this when i set it down on a hard surface. my n1 which is solid does it as well.
only way to prove it is attempt to take a photo and shake the phone to simulate the rattle. while the camera turns on the auto focus mechanism, it is no longer "loose" and the rattle will briefly go away. once the photo is snapped the focus mechanism goes back to idle/loose position, so it will then rattle.
Only rattle i have is not a rattle just the noise of hitting hard plastic .Same noise on SGS1
jje
I couldn't hear anything on mine aside from the sound of my finger tapping the plastic. Could it be your back cover? It might not be fully on. I carried mine around for a few hours before realising one of the plastic clips wasn't fully in place.

I think you're right. I've done what you suggested with varying success in changing the pattern of the rattle when constantly tapping the phone whilst touching different areas of the viewfinder.
Ok, maybe this is the auto focus mechanism but is it right and if it is why does it affect some and not others?

I get the same with the back cover off. If I apply gentle pressure to the camera lens it does lessen the rattle a little.
I know we don't go round tapping our phones as a rule but I'm not happy at this.
Just checked mine and no rattle here

More than likely (as with nearly all audio / visual imperfections people find) is that some people have better eyes or ears, or a much quieter environment. Try going to downtown Tokyo and even hearing your phone, let alone a rattle. Meanwhile up in the Drakensburg mountains here, I could probably hear a stone dropping at over a kilometer away.
Less likely is that your phone has a looser camera than others - there are always imperfections in manufacturing, and you might have hit the bad end of the spectrum with the lenses being too small for the holder. If this is the case, a replacement would definitely fix it.
But more than likely it's the first case.
I appreciate what you are saying Ryan but in all honestly, I think it my case it's the second scenario.
I don't go looking for faults but I do expect a premium device with a premium price tag to feel like such. This rattle totally spoils it for me and with a few other niggling little doubts I had about the phone (mainly personal preference) this was the push I needed to prompt me to return the handset.
I won't be getting a replacement. Don't get me wrong, the phone is a very nice phone and is probably the best Android out there currently but again, personal preference and a few little niggles means it's not for me.
Great for those that have no rattle, enjoy your devices as I am sure you will.
It was fun while it lasted anyway

Sorry to hear about this 'rattle' on your unit...why not try at least another unit to see if that 'rattle' is also present there, especially if you think you might have gotten a defective unit...
You seem a bit to be quick at dismissing the device. Almost like you just waited to find a reason to get rid of it.
In any case, I hope I don't have that problem on mine.

well to me its normal since i've explicitly noticed the rattle in every phone i've owned, and learned a while back that it was the auto focus mechanism. so it all depends on your personal opinion i guess, but my hunch is that if exchanged every other one would do it as well. who knows though....

No not at all. There are a few things that I don't like about the SGS2 that had me considering returning it before I even noticed the rattle - this is just what cemented my decision to return it. As said previously though, the annoyances I have with it are down to personal preference and comparison to other devices I have owned.
I'm not in the 'business' or picking faults with something for the sake of it, regardless of brand, I just want quality when I pay a quality price and to me at least this rattle makes the whole thing feel cheap.
Remember those two important words, personal and preference!

I guess I see your point.
I was hoping it was a defective unit rather than a general problem with the SGS2 since I hadn't heard about the rattling.
If I noticed something like that on mine, I probably would be bothered too.
yes i agree too. if it's a defective unit, just exchange with another one while it's still under warranty.
just keep that in mind. there are no other devices out there that can match with SGII at this point. What is your second choice, if I may ask?

yea I haven't had one issues with my 3D....I had it since day one....I notice a lot of people complaining about problems....I honestly believe 80% of it comes from user error (remember you cannot use class 2 cards with this device...it's mean to read/write to a faster card starting with class 4's...hence the reason why it comes with a freakin CLASS 4!)
A button that does nothing... a blown speaker... screens that aren't properly installed ARE not user error.
HTC skimped on quality control and people are stuck wasting their time dealing with it.

Didn't say your issues were caused by user error just saying in general. You my friend just have some s*** luck lol
My first one had dust under the camera lens (and I mean *camera*, as in the actual component soldered to the board, not just in the bezel thing) and a broken vibrator motor. It made a grinding, crackling noise, and had been getting weaker. I went to the Sprint store (where I bought it) today to exchange it and it was such an ordeal, the manger had to come over and make a big thing, saying how it was cosmetic and "every vibrator has a unique feel". I insisted I was within my 30 days and wanted an exchange, and she begrudgingly agreed, and then said "You can only exchange it once, are you sure you want to use up your one and only exchange?" No doubt they have that 1x exchange policy because they got tired of getting stuck with HTC's effing CRAP quality control, and now just want the customer to suck it up.
I'm on my second one, and it has a crooked screen.
return it. period. im on my 4th and hoping it stays this way.
there are quality control issues with most manufacturers....look at Samsung and the piece of s*** Epic lol
by and large, most people aren't going to notice a lot of the nit picky **** you guys return stuff for anyways
You should always inspect your phone for a good 20-30 minutes before you leave the store with it, you should be able to notice that kind of stuff, but people are lazy
If there's anything wrong with the phone then they need to replace it. Bottom line. I'm not talking nit picky stuff, but obvious defects. Speaker blown, vibrator defect, etc.
That's bull that they were fighting you on that

Has anyone had any issues with the ear speaker used in calls? I've noticed that a lot of the time there's a slight buzzing, especially with the higher frequencies. The ring tone when calling out is a prime example. It doesn't happen every time, but most of it. Not sure if it's an inherent floor with the phone or a problem with my handset?
Not yet had it a week, so will return it if it's a handset issue, but if they all do it not sure there's any point.
Also noticed that the trim around the micro usb port is not well secured - pulling out the cable can pull off the trim surround. I've glued it in now, but a poor piece of design by HTC.
All that said, it's a cracking phone, if a little large. Screen is fantastic, and so responsive.

Nobody else having this issue? Just about to contact handtec to get a replacement.
I spoke to HTC and they're not aware of it as a generic fault with the product, so hopefully just a faulty handset. Have requested an RMA with handtec to will report back.
I do get a sound when i change song but nothing like that.

On it's way back to handtec today, so hopefully will have a replacement some time next week that doesn't buzz!
Just to update, got a replacement handset today, and no buzzing coming from the earpiece, so happy days!
Have to say, after going back to my HD7 for the weekend, I'm so glad to get the Titan back - it may be a bit on the big side, but it's a fantastic phone.

This may be the same as the "pop" that has been reported on Focus S handsets. It appears to be Mango-related. Not good when plugged into a system with some power, and/or a subwoofer.
Does the sound dc spike (pop), occur if the volume is set below max (i.e, 25/30)?

I haven't had chance to use it often, but it seems like the sound that comes off the speakers when you've maxed out the volume on ordinary phones. It's not ringing but that annoying vibrating sort of noisy feeling when it rings etc.+ it's not all the time though.
So I'm asking this because I'm planning on returning my nexus 9 tomorrow and getting a replacement, because I have the following
Light bleed
Terrible battery life ( Max of 5 hours SOC )
crappy buttons on the side
The back creaks slightly
Is it worth returning or do you think I'll get the same issues again or maybe worse?

Are you ****ing kidding me here? Ya let's let ALL these issues go, so the NEXT tablet that comes out is an even bigger piece of **** with more problems because people like you let them get away with it.
Let me ask you this, should we accept ALL light bleed as OK no matter how bad, or is there a cutoff at some point where its no longer acceptable? Right off the bat I'll tell you youre wrong because they don't ALL do it. I just returned a nexus 9 that had next to 0 light bleed. I've never, not once in my life exchanged a device for any reason. Never. But im on my 4th nexus 9, 2 of which had almost no light bleed at all. My last ones screen flickered so bad and the speakers froze and cut in and out so much I couldn't deal with it anymore, which was number 2 nexus 9. Open the new one tonight in the parking lot and boot it. Horrendous lightbleed and volume buttons that were literally ****ing recessed into the frame. I don't know about you, but I'm not a god damn woman so I don't have fingernails to reach a recessed button, and I for damn sure ain't carrying around a ****ing paperclip to adjust the volume on a tablet. So I exchange it. Get nexus 9 #4. Buttons stick out of frame perfectly. Completely different from the one i just had in my hands. But that's not a quality control issue to you. I should have kept the one that had unpressable volume buttons so you won't have to pay more for your next tablet. Too ****ing bad buddy. I'll return EVERY single piece of **** I get, and GLADY pay more for the next version if I don't need a paper clip to adjust the volume, Dramamine for the constant screen flicker, and a speaker that actually plays sound.
Yes or no is this acceptable light bleed?
And if I sounded pissy in that post, its because on nexus #4 I just noticed the entire upper left hand side of my screen is completely ****ing yellow/brown, it looks like absolute ****. So even this one has bad light bleed when the screen is dark, and when the screen is light, 1/4 of it is piss yellow. This tablet came from the store today, so much for issues being fixed.

I've got the same thing. Plus, the microphone seems to have issues (sensitivity is so low, that it won't hear any "okay google" unless i really scream at it, for instance)! I would return it, but i am too afraid i might get an even worse unit.
Turns out HTC and Google really messed everything up with this one. I guess i was lucky to end up with a yellow-tinted Nexus 9 because, according to all people's reports, that might just be the best hardware version of it! With that in mind, I've never been so unsatisfied about a purchase before. I've always accepted some minor issues as i don't believe there are perfect devices, but i've never heard about so many different and major issues, especially for a tablet of this price. Not even to mention about the software issues, so far. This is just rediculous!
Huh ...
My new Sand model arrived with no issues out of the box ... excellent build quality, no issues with colors in the screen, and no bleeding backlight.
Where are y'all buying these things with all these issues?
I ordered mine directly off the play store.
I bought mine from Expansys (Europe). It's a pretty late batch (HTC4CC, which I think means December) therefore no back bending, no deep volume buttons and normal lightbleed for an LCD. But the fact that there are still issues and the quality of such an expensive tablet is questionable enough to make you stick with a yellowish screen, is really depressing. Anyway, I am really glad yours is perfect and I hope next batches manage to be as good as this tablet should be, but that doesn't change the fact that HTC and Google really dropped the ball on this one.

OK, so you're telling ME, the one who had the tablet in front of my face it didn't have light bleed and I purposefully 'designed' this picture to exaggerate a problem? Here's the bottom line and I could not give 2 flying ****s what you think I did or didn't do. My tablet had horrible HORRIBLE light bleed. How it looks in that picture is pretty damn close to how it looked in person while in a dark room. Period, end of story. You can check my post history going back to 2010 and see how many times I've complained about devices or *****ed about light bleed. Good luck finding any.
Im a member here to gain knowledge and help people when i can. I have enough devices to damn near fill a small bathtub, and theyre all the the same ones i bought day one never exchanged. In case you werent aware, most of us here are not ****ing retards and know lcds will have a SMALL amount of light bleed.. This is not a small amount, its an unacceptable amount. If You think I'm suddenly trying make **** up or make unwarranted complaints about a screen for no reason, you're flat out wrong.
For someone with the name doitright, you for damn sure aren't holding HTC to that standard.
So if take a picture of all my older tablets next to the nexus 9, they should all basically look the same then correct? By your logic they should all look similiar(according to you, this is a normal, acceptable amount that should be exhibited by all of my older tablets- including 2 nexus 7's) and the nexus 9 should look no worse than the rest correct? 100$ says they don't.

No, what I'm saying is that you are too picky and expecting something unreasonable from your hardware, which is working perfectly well. People like you who repeatedly send your hardware back under warranty for imaginary "problems" that are perfectly within the design specifications of the device **AND NOT EVEN CORRECTED** by the warranty replacement, cause the price of hardware to increase for the rest of us, because the cost of that warranty replacement is distributed to EVERYONE who buys that hardware.
I suggest that you return it and buy yourself a ROCK AND A CHISEL. At least if you complain about that, it won't increase the price for the rest of us.

People like you who repeatedly send your hardware back under warranty for imaginary "problems" that are perfectly within the design specifications of the device **AND NOT EVEN CORRECTED** by the warranty replacement, cause the price of hardware to increase for the rest of us, because the cost of that warranty replacement is distributed to EVERYONE who buys that hardware.
I suggest that you return it and buy yourself a ROCK AND A CHISEL. At least if you complain about that, it won't increase the price for the rest of us.

Are you a ****ing moron? Let's try reading shall we?
1) I just said in the post you quoted I've NEVER in my life exchanged or returned any devices out of literally dozens. Obviously besides the nexus 9, but since you don't seem to fully read my previous comments in this thread I feel I need to point this out.
2) I haven't warrantied ONE nexus 9. I bought mine from best buy after launch and had until Jan 15 to exchange. So I did. If you actually READ my posts you'll see each one was returned for multiple issues, light bleed being at the back of my list of issues that concern me.
Would you keep a device that had speakers that didn't work? Yes or no? Would you keep a device that had volume buttons LITERALLY recessed inside the frame, making them completely unable to be pressed? Yes or no? Light bleed just happened to be another issue to top these major defects off.
So, since all these problems HAVE been noted in this thread, in fact I'm pretty sure they were in posts you quoted me on, you're telling me non-working speakers and unpressable buttons are both imaginary and within design specs?
Throw horrendous light bleed on top for icing on the cake.
Anyone seen these available anywhere? My Nexus is 21 days old and the speaker grill fell off somewhere, searched and searched and can't find it. I purchased directly from T-Mobile and they said nothing they can do as I am outside the buyers remorse period and suggested calling Motorola, which I did, they will exchange the phone but I have to send mine in, wait for it to be inspected then they will send a replacement. Seems like a lot for what must be a couple dollar part.
I did find one for the moto x, $5 and $20 shipping from etradesupply but doesn't look the same and that's a hefty shipping for a $5 part.
I'm in the same boat. Hoping a way to buy that part shows up.
Just noticed mine is coming loose too...only a matter of time I guess..got insurance thru tmo tho but still..kinda ****ty
Still no luck, guessing not much we can do about it. If you guys come across them please post back. Makes the phone ugly with it missing and I work in construction, somehow I think it will allow more dust and debris into the phone.

Just an update,. Motorola sent me a replacement phone because of the speaker grill, even allowed me to change to the cloud white one. New one however has it's own set of issues such as qi charging doesn't work, people complained I sounded like I was under water and lastly, the vibration from touching the screen would make a loud rattling noise... it's on it's way back to Motorola. Hoping the next one works correctly.

Nah, not really.... Just normal luck for me when dealing with stuff like this lol.
Another update, while it's been time consuming, Motorola finally sent me a fully functioning phone. Speaker covers are both firmly attached and qi charging works, no odd noises with vibrating or anything. Loaded up the same ROM on both phones and the new one reboots, completely loads everything up a good 5 seconds faster than the old one. I even held them both in my hands and simultaneously rebooted them because just in general use the new one was noticeably quicker.
Motorola did accidentally charge my card tho, they were supposed to just put a hold on it while they waited for me to ship the original back so they offered me a free set of the new moto surround BT headsets as compensation for my troubles, without me asking for a thing, pretty good customer service IMO.
Anyways, all said and done I am happy with how they handled it and have no issues recommending Motorola products to anyone considering them, with the new moto x pure coming out, I'll probably pick one up now over the oneplus 2 for the simple reason of having faith in the customer service they offer.
