Vibrate rattles, loose buzzing sound

[surfacinglove]

Does anyone else have this issue? It's been this way since Day 1. Anytime the vibrate is active, there is an extra rattling/buzzing sound of something being loose, like something hitting plastic somewhere inside the phone.

This is beyond the typical smooth buzz sound. It only happens when the phone is face up. When turning it over, the rattle stops and it's all smooth vibration.

Anyone?

Volume rocker?

No, it's not the rocker, power button, battery, back door, or SIM card...

I've called Verizon and they look in their issues log. Apparently I'm the first with such an issue! Looks like I'll be locking up my phone and replacing it today in the store.

Sorry man..... let us know how Verizon treats you with the replacement.

I have this exact issue! Please let me know if the replacement resolves this!

I totally got a defective device. The store swapped it out for me, no problems at all, once they saw what it sounded like. Took about 30 minutes total. Go get your new phone!

I feel spoiled now that it doesn't sound like a rattlesnake on my desk.

Thanks! Good to know, i always get the defective device

I got you beat. I can do a magic trick with my Nexus. I get 4g upstairs and only get 3g when I'm downstairs in my house. ToDa!

Called Verizon, they said swap it out.

Haha. Can't wait to finally just be happy with my phone. Hoping the next unit is solid

HA.. talking on the phone now I hear the rattling with my thumb. I would love to swap it but I don't want to risk getting a bad display.

So how is the swapped out unit?

I fixed my rattling by putting some scotch tape in the middle of the button. :'(
