But this isn’t the case with all Galaxy S5 devices. Some units have defective back covers which make annoying creaky noises and also move under the lightest pressure. These defective back covers can be fixed with a few simple tricks.

Not Properly Aligned

The main reason why the back cover makes noises is because it is not properly aligned. It is simple to think that the entire back cover is snapped in correctly. Remove the back cover and try to put it back on correctly. Then check if there is any part of the cover which hasn’t  snapped in. If there is, simply press that part until it snaps in.

Damaged “Teeth”

Another reason is the damaged “tooth”. Damaged “tooth” cannot correctly clip into the phone. This causes the annoying creaky sounds. Even if you press that part it won’t get fixed. You need to see in which direction the “tooth” has gone and try to move it back to its original position.

Loose Screws

Loose screws of the phone are also another reason. Make sure all screws of the phone are screwed tightly because otherwise the plastic part of the phone will be too loose for the back cover to snap in. Do you still have the creaky problem on your Galaxy S5? Let us know below.
