Wobbly / rattling volume rockers

I guess I am not the only one who found it pretty annoying. Even with a slight phone shake the volume rocker makes rattling noise. I don't think it should do this. Seems to be a bad part fitting. It is definitely the volume rocker - if you hold it and shake the phone, the rattling stops.

Debating with myself If I should submit a warranty claim. If not all the phones do it then it may be a defect in some specific devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
I came to this site looking for an answer to this too. Received mine yesterday (16GB UK) and the volume button is very loose. It rattles too.

Do you send it back? or is this just what you expect with a cheap phone from LG ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umesswitme:
I'm considering sending mine back because of this I'm not to sure if it's really worth it, or if I'm just being overly picky.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erraz:
My sgs2 had this too so I'm used to it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Yup, totally wobbly.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
So I guess this is an issue on all N4s?

It seems very odd as the power button and build of the phone is tight and solid. Even the headphone jack is good and tight... The volume button however is crap.

It has a very slight gap around it. Either the hole was cut to big or the buttons are too small.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
Mine is not wobbly at all.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $sudo:
Ugh, mine's the exact opposite. 8gb wobbly power but volume rocker is solid.

RMA it or accept?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Depends if you're happy with it or not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
No problem with mine... so far!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
Does this problem warrant a good reason for return??

Is this a production fault?

I have noticed the case creaks above the volume button if pressed in the plastic surround.

I knew LG couldn't be trusted regarding build quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d u o XIV:
My volume rocker is slightly "wobbly", too. Don't really think this little inconvenience warrants a return, though... Hopefully, I'm not proven wrong three months from now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
My rocker is fine on both 8GB versions but I have a wobbly power button on one of them. It is really annoying because it makes a noticeably loud grinding noise when I do use it. My brother's Nexus 4 doesn't do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannycalgary:
My volume rocker is slightly wobbly. I know it shouldn't bother me but I can't stop reading forums haha. Oh well I dont think it warrant's an exchange unless it gets really bad. Not sure how long the warranty is good for either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] late8:
Mine is annoying as it makes a noise as you move the phone its so loose. The bumper will solve it I suppose.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Knowing Google, they'll replace it if you complain about anything. That said, it's a fairly common issue for phones in general, so only exchange it if it really bothers you. And consider that you could very well get a different, worse defect.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
The volume rocker on my gnex wasn't loose when I first got it a year ago but it did tighten up some after awhile. Shrugs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rttnpig]:
I dont know if i should RMA.. If i press the edges of the phone (on the bottom) it makes like a click, seems like plastic moving. I also suffer the button movement noise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbaby0208:
Get a case. That will help a lot. I wonder if others have the same problem. I feel the same way if I should RMA, what if it comes with more problems...:(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defconoi:
mine too

My volume rocker is slightly wobbly as well, vibrate doesnt make it shake though, just shaking the phone, its slightly annoying, my power button is a little wobbly as well, I'd replace it if they sent me a replacement phone first like T-Mobile does, but im on straight talk with a play store device, not sure if they do that. Phone is freaking awesome though, not sure if its worth the hassle, gave up my gnex to my gf so I would do without a phone if I had to ship it, anyone got any experience in replacements with LG? I've done it with my gnex and they did an advanced replacement and they authorized my card, same thing with the N4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heidelfuchs:
I will have to send mine back...

My volume rockers were a bit wobbly from the start but nothing I was really worried about. Unfortunately since two days it is not possible anymore to turn the volume down reliably. I have to put a lot of pressure to make it work. Thats not only annoying but a no-go for me.

I really hope this is not a general button.

PS. I have not overly used the volume rocker. It looks like new too,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fihlvein:
I hate my volume button as well, it's IMO easily the weakest point of this device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobra_89:
I bought 2 16gb nexus 4, the first has shaky buttons, in the other one don't wobble...

I think it is an issue of assembly! if we try to disassemble and reposition the volume button may solve!

someone wants to try?

disassemble it seems simple enough...

I have a stock N7 and accepted the over the air standard update to 4.2. Now I'm getting quite a bit of screen flicker. Has anyone else seen this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leelaa:
Nope. That's pretty strange.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
I thought so too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmyUK:
Yeah I've noticed the increase too, coming from custom ROMs and modified kernels I think it's understandable. However googles failure to fix this is disappointing.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

However just as I completed my post I remembered my fix, disabling prism. So its probably a combination for me.

That's helped quite a bit :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyd0997:
How do you disable prism?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkovich:
I have updated my nexus 7 to 4.2 OTA. And i can confirm, with sorrow, that 4.2 ruined the tabled for me. I had some minor flicker with 4.1.2 but was very rare and i was OK with it. But now it's crazy. The strange thing is that the screen does not flicker constantly. It flickers 4/5 times and it settels down. This is in every single app i run, even on home screen. WiFI is off, the tablet was factory reseted ... this sux ... i send a mail to Asus to see that they know about it ... :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
I had to use Tegra Prism on 4.1 to fix the flicker - which is caused by the brightness changing slightly (still happens if you turn auto-brightness off).

I haven't updated to 4.2 yet (too many bugs) so maybe Google made prism more aggressive or something?

It's a paid app though, but you got 15minutes to test if it works or claim the refund.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the information.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkovich:
I would like to give it a try too, but i need to root first. Was not going to do it , but ....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
Same. I don't have a problem rooting if I can do it without unlocking the bootloader... time to read some root threads :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
I ended up unlocking/rooting and installing the Tegra PRISM Toggle. I can confirm that fixed the issue.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?

I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'

I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'

Where else have you tried?

Dates for availability?

Prices?
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.

Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.

I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
I just through to a different CPW, one that actually had it in stock and new what it was.

He went away tp check and said they're not currently selling it SIM free and doesn't know if they will be, hasn't been communicated to them.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above. :cool:

(SOLVED) Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver IN WIN7

Hopefully, this is the right place to post this windows support issue!!!

I presume ur on Windows 7!, have no trial version of bluetooth software!, 'Bluetooth Support Service' is running and set to 'Automatic' & have no MAC address confects.

Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' from : h++p://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx

Install the downloaded software, Vista automatically configures the settings on the bluetooth devices but not Windows 7.

Now go to 'Device Manager' u'll see 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device' under 'Other devices', right-Click it and click on "Update Driver Software".

Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".

Click "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer".

Select 'Bluetooth Radio' from the list, in the next window, it will show a list of drivers with Company Names.

In the Company List choose 'Microsoft Corporation', not only Microsoft.- the drivers list may contane one or more drivers with the name "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" with different versions. Select one or the latest ver.-.

Ignore the rest of warnings and keep pressing next and then Finish at last.

If all goes well, the last screen will show the message that device driver is successfully installed.

In 'Device Manager' when you click on 'Bluetooth Radios', it should show a new item 'Windows Mobile-based device support'.

Remove the device and add it again.

Restart the computer.

Hello my tech gurus! I'm in need of some serious help!Monday I received a call from a buddy and I was about 5 mins into the conversation when suddenly the call dropped... I looked at the phone and saw one bar or signal reception then it then to the no reception symbol. I thought that ok network must be down... but 5 hours later it dint return so I started going through my settings and stumbled across the info page that says - imei: unknown, imei sv: unknown, baseband version unknown... I know from seeing these fields a few times before that they were always populated!

i have tried wipe data factory reset, i have tried changing roms (4 different roms from ginger bread to ics from sense 3.5 - 3.6 - 4.0) roms include Android_Revolution_HD-Amaze_4G_3.0.1, nightmare rom Rebirth 1.0, nightmare sense 1.1/1.6... same issue

Air plane mode once turned on it never turns off the radio takes up 80% of the battery regardless of it being in air plane mode or not.

my device is a T-mobile HTC Amaze 4g, 8 gig class 4 sd card, ext touch recovery currently running nightmare sense 1.6, it is s-off and unlocked

and assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I hope it is still working :).

My problem is a bit different, but figured I should post here as the thread already exists. My phone got run over by a car, so the screen smashed big time. This happened back in August, 2012.

Yesterday I got a new screen and put it in. Fingers crossed, waited for the battery to charge a bit. It worked, but only wifi. Camera is dead. Phone keep saying out of service area and IMEI/baseband are both set to unknown.

I haven't changed the back cover yet which was also pretty banged up so not sure if the antenna is making a contact or not.

Any ideas?
