[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
I noticed on my I9505 that when I record video, sometime at the begining of the recording, there is a crackling sound.

Are any of you experiencing the same issue?

I am on I9505XXUAMDM firmware. Has this been fix on newer firmwares?

Below is a link to a youtube video where I found a recording with the same issue as mine (on this particular video the crackling sound is at 0:02).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
Try lower the general volume on the phone. I manage to get better sound on video recordings that way. Tell me if it worked for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:
Hello...thank you....at moment the battery is 2%......i must to recharge it......

can you check if ....before settings maximum volume ,after when you record a voice recorder the cracking appears ? thank you very much

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

i try to set volume ( left balance key ), but this is the volume of ringing ? infact...the same problem will appear when i try to recorder

Maybe is multimedia volume to set lower ?

please , can you tell me what volume you set ? settings -> sound > and after ? notiifcations..multimedia (the first of the list).....ecc......which of these ? thank you for your patience :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
Yes, I was talking about the ringing volume, but I just tried again and the crackling is still present.

Afterwards, I made a photo first with the camera and immediately started video recording. The crackling did not appear anymore.

May be random, but you can try and see if taking a photo before recording video does any good.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:
I'm writing, about this problem , in Italy's forum but i'm the only with this problem...

Tomorrow i try ........

Your device , crackling also with voice recorder app. (stock Samsung ) ??

I think that it's a hardware problem...........:crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
On my Tmobile S4, I noticed a crackle in audio recording at ~5 seconds. When I try to reproduce it immediately on another audio recording, there is none. Maybe it's a one-time thing that occurs when something is initiated for the first time.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:
no....it seems to do when you wake up from idle......but.....it's random.....

i wipe all 2-3 time my device...but.......it's Always present.....

i noticed crackle when i record a video full HD with camera....or using voice recorder ( mono or stereo setting......) or another application from market google

i try to set destination sd card or device memory...but it's irrilevant

you can listen my recorded with crackling here :

i cannot post....link...i'm new in this forum

:crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:
I tried to open a files audio stereo recorded with S4 voice record. with Sound Forge (program for audio editing) and crackling is present only in one channel (the one used by recording in mono, so the bottom mic) ... . the other channel is'ok (heard separately)

Maybe the microphone is fault ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adl:
In a german forum several people are reporting the same issue. Some said that the crackling are only in the first video, if they make right away another one there is no crackling in this (second) video.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocker580:
Same here.. :crying:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21152890/Voce 001.m4a

Has someone fixed this problem ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:
Do you have this problem only on video recorder or also on voice recorder ?

in voice recorder i've too

also setting stereo, or mono........but in the graphic ( open file audio with tool of sound editing ) the crackling is present only in one channel,

if i listen the other chanel separately , the crackling is absent

i try to recorder from a source with higher volume (stereo , play an audio cd ) and the crackling is absent......if i recorder setting lower the volume of my stereo.....the problem comes out.......

I think that the crackling will appear when the amplifier increasese the gain........
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocker580:
On first I noticed it in video recording but it is in all type of audio recording.

I think too is a problem of amplifier but is a problem because I cannot record all video on road to workaround this :mad:

I hope is a software bug and will be fixed soon..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timo74:

Just a couple of questions

1. Do I need to turn ON motion in settings

2. Does it consume more battery life

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks mate for testing my app.

I didn't get your 1st question are you asking me about shake

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
When does it force closes on your device?

Next time just click report & I will check it out

I have heard that issue but, don't face any problem like that on my S3

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Albinoni:
This application works beautifully on my Note II but seem to be having problems with my Motorola Xoom II tablet, anyone tried it on a tablet
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks mate for testing the app

This app doesn't work when using Leak ROMs because, some days before I tested on Samsung Leaked ROMs & it didn't work

I will check out what I can do just report me in detail what issue you face
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks for testing the app.

I will test my app on actual tablets as, I have just tested on tablet emulators

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] STAticKY:
[MENTION=4969094]akshay[/MENTION] I have a s3 i9300 and have started using/testing this app. I must say it has great potential. A problem I have with it though is that if I set it to start on boot it FC's upon first boot. once I press close it starts the service properly a few seconds later. Sometimes it randomly FC's too. Not that bad as it automatically restarts itself, just a minor inconvenience.

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to select multiple sensors and set an action to them individually. Like proximity to lock and light sensor to unlock.

Also what do the custom ROM tweaks actually do?

Thanks for the great app and keep up the good work :thumbup:

TP.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks for trying out my app & finding potential in it.

Well, I don't face any FC on startup mine is too S3.

I will check out the problem just give me some more information

Thanks for request of feature, I will try to add it.

Next thing about the custom ROM tweak:

There is an problem in Samsung Lockscreen because when I try to unlock phone it get lock in instantly

Hence, I need to increase the cpu wake time causing more battery to drain

For Aosp ROMs the 0 value works to unlock & doesn't eat much battery life hence if your using an Aosp lockscreen then set the unlock Screen Timeout to 0

Tested again with new release, No more FCs of course, but no difference from other when using with black flip cover. Just working fine with palm. Not to blame your application it's just sammy sensor :(

Anyway thanx for nice application.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] STAticKY:
Yea its a physical limitation of the sensor... Works best with light colours.. I've put a white sticker on my flip cover where it meets the sensor

I can confirm too that the FCS on boot have been fixed

TP.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks

I have fixed lots of boot FCs.

More features will be added & some FCs for sensors will be fixed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbowen87:
Question pretty much summed up by the title. I have been using "Beans" for quite a while now and have tried Sabre and Perseus, both of which have their own little quirks. Before I go through the headache of flashing a new one and setting my device up yet again, I figured I would ask for other's views and opinions on the kernel choices.

The ones I am looking at are Stock, PBJ, Perseus, Sabre and Faux 003. Any feedback, recommendations, suggestions, pros & cons, or experience will be greatly appreciated.

Also ideal settings/tweaks hints and tips are greatly appreciated because I keep missing the mark with Perseus and ending up with terrible battery life but great performance, or sluggish performance and horrible battery life, I can't find a good mid-point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
I personally use Perseus or Sabre. However, there is no need to setup your device again just to flash a kernel. Just boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvic, flash kernel, and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
sabre i have noticed some pretty excellent battery life, faux kernel i noticed to be a bit quicker not as great as battery life but still very good! another thing to keep in mind is a 24 hour period can't give you real results on a kernel it's something you have to let settle in to really know what you are getting battery life wise. for example when i first flashed sabre i was getting about 14 hours with 2.5 on screen time let it set in a few days and i was getting about 23 with 4.5 on screen time. so long story short play with them all to see what your phone likes, milage varies on each device. Good luck my man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] emtee_skull:
I chose PBJ for my phone because of 2 reasons.

First I have used imnuts work since the fascinate. And it has always been excellent work.

Second because its a lean kernel without a lot of unnecessary fluff. I have been using it for about a month and battery life is great. After I have about 16 to 18 hours between charges I still have any where from 30 to 50 % battery. Depending how much I streamed TV to the phone.

It has worked great. The kernel and rom have been very stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
I have tried Perseus, Sabre, PBJ and Beans stock...they are all good (which probably means its the Note 2 which is good). Since the update to VRAMC3 though I have stuck with Beans Stock and been very happy. Routinely getting 30+ hours of uptime on 4G with 5+ hours of screen time. Can't really ask for more. I can't speak to the speed/fluidity etc...I can't tell the difference (again, its a great phone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
I am testing out greenify w faux to see how battery is will report back in a few days after it sets in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Faux has been very good to me. Smoothest kernel around, but pbj had a little better overall battery life for me. I stick with faux though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbowen87:
Well after my sluggish issues with Perseus, I decided to try to Faux when I did a clean install of 18 last night, and so far I am having MUCH better performance, hasn't been long enough to judge the battery life, but apparently from the performance standpoint my Note II likes Faux way more than Perseus. :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] torr310:
Just out of curiosity, why does the phone needs a few days to "Settle" for the optimized battery life?

I can understand some updates may run in the background that draw the battery, but that should take less than a day to complete.

By the way, would a few reboots accelerate this "settling" process?

Thanks!
