Hi,

I've bought a new I9100 but I got a weird problem.

While recording videos, the device doesn't record audio at all.

I tried the voice recorder to check whether the mic is working or not and it the app recorded my voice like charm.

Is there a problem with my device's hardware or software?

Are there any fixes?

I downloaded LGcorder from the market but the same problem VIDEO without AUDIO.

I tried to use the phone headphones but nothing works.

All volume settings are ok.

Hope you guys can help me.

Sound recorder apps record sound from the mic in bottom of the phone

In video, recording mic at the top of the phone is used

So take the phone to samsung service center
[Galaxy S II General] X-dude:
Using the headset to record seemed to work for me but the quality doesnt sound as good. I just wish samsung could of fixed this from the start but oh well... Maybe there will eventually be a way around this like ics.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
Dude I have tested RECFORGE and it works on i9100. When I lower the gain and record the sound I have no distortion anymore. It's amazing I really did think that I had no chance. Now I can again record my favorite song in a club for further checking back home :). How can nobody managed to implement this into the camera? I think that it is really the most important feature for me.
[Galaxy S II General] maormark:
It works but when I tried to record simultaneously with the camera apps it's not let me...
[Galaxy S II General] shishir95:
Fluxii kernel on AOSP/AOKP ROMs has this functionality. You can adjust the microphone gain on the analog and digital level. I have it set to a little bit of extra gain right now and it makes a huge difference for the better, but that's probably because I'm using a different device. Give it a try, it might be what you're looking for.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
Man if this will work it will be the greatest thing ever!

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

I tested Fluxii kernel and it's the same. The gain in only for listening to the loudspeaker not controlling the recording volume. As I have stated before only the app Recforge does that but only for audio we cannot use the app and record video :(
[Galaxy S II General] soiuz:
Solved!

Try Camera ICS+

I recorded a test video this evening @ a concert. the sound was REALLY loud and the vid came out more than decent.

Audio quality: 48kHz, Audio channels: Stereo, Audio source: Mic

Try dorimanx kernel there's a mic gain option in extweak didn't test it though but the other sound option worked

lgcamera in playstore can record aac+ at higher bitrates . i have no idea about noise cancellation using two mics though.
[Galaxy S II General] quijote1:
Put me down for $10.

I tried using the headset that came with my phone. It looks like it has a microphone (a little rectangular black box with a small hole in one side), but when I tried to make a video I couldn't hear any difference. I plugged and unplugged the mic several times, but no joy!
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:

New Microphone

For what it's worth, there is a new microphone on the market that may make it unneccessary to limit input volume. It is the: Edutige i-microphone EIM-004 - Google it or here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/i-microphone-percussion-pressure-smartphones-Blackberry/dp/B007ZEPLVM/ref=lh_ni_t

Here's what they say about it:

Specifically designed for the high volume, strong sound pressure of bands, concerts, and percussion. For virtually distortion free sound during recording. It's a plug and play microphone. Compatible with i-phone 3, 3g+s, 4, 4g, 4s and 5. ipad 1,2 and the new ipad. ipod touch 2g and newer, ipod nano 4g and newer, ipod classic-120gb-160gb...2009 and newer. i-mac, mac-book unibody, and pro, the new mac-book air. AND many other smartphones models. (Known compatibility-- Samsung Galaxy series S2 and later, TAB, Hopin, Ace, K, U, and Nexus S, and others. LG OPTIMUS Series, and Andro One, and others. HTC HD2, Desire, Legend, POP, Desire HD, Nexus One, and others. Motorola smartphones as well such as Droid etc.

The bad news - it costs $70.
[Galaxy S II General] MasterThiefGarrett:
Bad news huh?

I kind of agree and kind of don't... let me explain.

70 bucks is a substantial amount, but on the other hand, you won't ever have to worry about oversteered audio ever again... on any phone... only disadvantage is that it plugs in the headset socket so it makes your phone even bigger... and you could potentially lose the mic if you're not careful... other than that it's a very good workaround for the Android oversteering of audio within video recordings.

I tell you I'm seriously considering buying one of these things :)
[Galaxy S II General] Shahrokh.KING:
i dont know if you guys aware or not, but with the new firmwares like XWLPY 4.0.4 the up mic high gain is gone, its much better, be happy :)

Hello Ladies n Gents

I have a similar problem on my galaxy note.

Recordings on my phablet are horrible because of AGC (automatic Gain control).

I even bought IkMultimedias iRigMicCast. It works on the galaxy note, cuz its simply plugged to the headphone jack.

Maybe u could check this out for high gain recordings , cuz it has a low switch to record loud sources. But quality with agc enabled is still poor.

Even if I connect my Rode NT-1A condensor mic via my tube-microphone-pre-amp via an old videocable (4-pole to cinch) to the galaxy note it sounds horrible (like a grammophone) in apps that record videos because those apps dont have the option to disable AGC. In apps that are able to disable AGC it sounds pretty good.

Now I found a file called /system/etc/audio_effects.conf.

Im a newbie to Android, but I know a lot about linux. So i dont have the courage to try this out myself:

ONLY TRY THIS OUT, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING! YOU MIGHT DO DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE! I DID NOT TRY THIS OUT!!!!!!!

I JUST PURCHASED MY GALAXY NOTE AND DONT WANT TO BE STUCK, CUZ I HAVE NO TIME TO SET IT UP AGAIN! IT WONT BE A BRICK AFTER THAT, I GUESS BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO RESET IT IT TO FACTORY IN A COMPILCATED WAY!!!!! But maybe its harmless...

I dont know if any other configuration files fail to load without this agc part. Then you might be stuck at boot time. Maybe simply the audio configuration fails and you can simply take a backupped file and your configuration is reset to the status before.

YOU WERE WARNED!!!!!!!

I GUESS /system/etc/audio_effects.conf is used to tell the system which audio effects to load.

In there you find this piece:

# list of effects to load. Each effect element must contain a "library" and a "uuid" element.

# The value of the "library" element must correspond to the name of one library element in the

# "libraries" element.

# The name of the effect element is indicative, only the value of the "uuid" element

# designates the effect.

# The uuid is the implementation specific UUID as specified by the effect vendor. This is not the

# generic effect type UUID.

# effects {

# <fx name> {

# library <lib name>

# uuid <effect uuid>

# }

...

agc {

library pre_processing

uuid aa8130e0-66fc-11e0-bad0-0002a5d5c51b

}

I think, if agc is diabled in this file, it is disabled system wide. I dont know if this has any influence on other things like call mic quality etc.

To disable it put some '#' without the quotes in front of all ! four (in words four, including the one with } ) agc lines. Youll have to be root for that. Another problem is, that system partition seems to be mounted read only. So to change this file youll have to use a Root Explorer or something.

After reboot the new audio configuration without AGC may be loaded and recordings may be as good as the device is able to.

Maybe someone wants to try this out or better: an android developper tells us if this is wrong...

If you tried it out, plz post your experiences here...

Good luck ;)

[Galaxy S II General] manuelmagix:
Dont Work.
[Galaxy S II General] MasterThiefGarrett:
I went and bought the iRig MIC Cast for my Note II, and no more distortion possible :)

I sat in my car, upped the volume to 'unbearable' levels ;) and tried with and without the iRig... I'm impressed, and that for 29 euros :)

Tried it on a co-worker's Galaxy S2 and success :)
[Galaxy S II General] dali_bude:
Problem not hardware related?

The lgCamera app allows to choose between two audio sources: "Microphone" and "Camcorder". The "Camcorder" source sounds just like the stock camera app, and has distortion. The "Microphone" source, however, is much more tolerable. I did a test with loud music, and where "Camcorder" was already clipping heavily, "Microphone" was still quite OK. (Which is my workaround for the time being. Better good mono than crappy stereo.)

The mic used by the "Microphone" source is the mic on the lower edge of the device. The same mic is used in "Camcorder" for one of the stereo channels. This might mean that the problem is actually NOT hardware related, and could be fixed on the driver level, by configuring the mics properly.
[Galaxy S II General] silverbluem:
i've found the perfect mic for loud recording!!

edutige eim-004 bought it on Ebay

Posting a Video with Galaxy S2 (Wanamlite 14.3) + edutige eim-004

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151334050562151

I Bought it from here

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Edutige-EIM...ing-Band-Live-Music-Iphone-Ipad-/320884471545

solved my problem until i replace my galaxy s2 (if at all )
[Galaxy S II General] quijote1:
I also have the Edutige EIM-004 and didn't really give it a good test until today.

Last night I went to a concert and forgot to take the new mike, so I recorded with the standard S2 mike. It came out great. Apparently, the new roms and kernels no longer have the overloaded inputs. In the concert, the bass and drums were the kind that you can feel in your stomach!

So today I made several tests with the stock and the EIM-004 in identical conditions. The only difference I could hear was a bit more harmonic distortion with the stock mike and clearer trebles with the EIM. So it is worth using for better quality, but the problem with high gain seems to be in the past.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] raphytaffy:
I've browsed a few threads on how to do this and even googled for some results outside of this forum, but haven't found a method that has worked for me. What I have done so far is used terminal to do an:

adb pull /data/app c:\datapps

All of the apks transferred to my datapps folder just fine. I then opened one of the apks with Winrar, browsed to res folder, and here is where I'm lost. From one of the guides I read, you are supposed to replace the icon in the drawable folder. After replacing the icon with the new one that I want, I push the apk back to my phone using:

adb push c:\datapps\nameofapk.apk /data/app

I've tried this for apks with only one drawable folder and upon reboot, the application just disappears from my app drawer. Changing the icon back to its original icon and rebooting brought it back.

Also, lots of apks such as Facebook have multiple drawable folders (drawable-hdpi-v4, drawable-land-hdpi, etc). Can anyone who has successfully changed the app icons within their app drawer instruct me on how to do so? Or anyone with knowledge on the subject at all.

If it matters, I'm on CM7.

I pulled the sd card while the phone was on and now it wont start.

its boots into custom recovery. but hangs on android logo when i try to boot it.

What should i do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Feeshie:
I would reflash your custom rom, but I'm not 100% sure that would fix it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] roi14:
backup sd card. reflash the whole rom,(wipe all data,factory reset..etc) don't know if it will work,.:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Try booting without the sd card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bindaasathar:
Re-flash the ROM again via recovery or if you're on stock then use KDZ to go back to stock ROM. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
such a thing will never happen on stock lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bindaasathar:
You mean pulling out the memory card when the phone is on?? Oh I get it...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andr333y:
thank you, it worked.

I reflashed my rom Prime v2 and it worked.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FrenchOnly:
Usually when such thing happened, I go to recovery and repair sd ext. partition.

That should work.

But then again, only if you have apps2sd in your ROM :D

[Thunderbolt General] csilvest:
Hi All. My TB was rebooting at random so I was going to return it for an exchange. Having previously rooted and flashed, I tried to restore to the factory ROM first to avoid catching flack from Verizon (I don't believe the ROM was the issue- it had done it a few times before rooting/flashing). Well, not having read jcase's post first, I got stuck with the Security Warning at the hboot screen - could not boot, could not flash any ROMS including the ones listed by jcase ("main is older" error). @Chris over at chat.andirc.net tipped me off to a leaked ROM that was new enough to flash and MAY fix my original problem of the TB resetting at random. I found the leaked ROM here.

If the random resetting problem is solved, I'll be re-rooting soon...

[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
That's because the 3vo is Gingerbread and the Evo was Froyo. If you upgraded your Evo to GB than its app drawer would behave the same as the 3vo.

[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
It is sense 3.0. No way to change it as of now. Not sure if a custom rom will do it either once full root is achieved. Best thing to do is use another launcher like launcher pro, adw, etc. You will lose all your sense Widgets tho. Only way around it right now :(

Maybe if you upgraded to Mikfroyo or another Sense 2.1+ ROM. The stock update didn't do this, it's because of Sense 3 not Android 2.3...
