[General Questions and Answers] Squirrel1620:
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has dealt with att when canceling a contract because of relocation. I moved about 20mi away from my old house to this one, and I have absolutely no service, I am bound to a partner tower, I know this after a lengthy convo with att about my data not working.

I should be eligible for the exit clause, but I know how big companies like att can be. Do you think they will give me much trouble getting out of it? Btw I started my contract in the last six months and this is my first time doing business with att.

Any input appreciated

I must have been living under a rock as I didn't realize Samsung pushed out 4.3 officially. I got my phone into some weird state where the external SD card was reporting 0.00b so I decided to use Kies to restore my phone to stock. As you can probably guess I am not suck with the new bootloader and Knox which is really f*ing annoying. Anyway, my phone is a year old now meaning the Knox warranty BS does not really affect me (that I know of).

I was able to flash CWM recovery with Heimdall with out having the Knox warranty bit get set to 1. However, once I tried flashing CM11 again the install failed due to an assert error pertaining to ro.bootloader property. Has anyone had any luck flashing CM11 or any other custom rom to a phone that has this new bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
no your pretty much stuck running stock 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PuffTheMagic:
Actually, I just got CM11 flashed!!! All I had to do was edit the updater-script and add the new baseband version in the ro.bootloader check. Woot!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muezzin:
I have noticed that when i send a voice message through whatsapp and replay it, it is really low. The recipient can also confirm that it is indeed low. Haven't found anyone else stating this issue, so has anyone noticed this?? I have tried talking through both mics, top and bottom, still low output. Is there a way to boost the mic? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muezzin:
It seems that the Z Ultra has this problem as well... I also cannot listen to a voice message through earpiece, the screen goes black and the audio stops. I have tried whatsapp plus but still the same. Can anyone confirm that on stock rom their mic is not low and can listen through earpiece??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ts.Productions:
Same too me... I have noticed this too.. Plus the quality of the voice Messages is very Bad. It Sounds like there is some noise reduction Filter or something like that . The Recordings are squashy. But Its only in whatsapp... When i record Videos the sound is clear and Loud as it should be!Tried to contact the Whatsapp Support but no answer so far. Sry for my bad english I'm from Germany
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Whatsupp is not even good to send pictures because the app send all in low quality. I will recommend to use a 3rd application recorder like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coffeebeanventures.easyvoicerecorder&hl=en or this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrwq.recorder&hl=en, select good quality recording, share and send via Whatsupp.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muezzin:
Are you using stock rom or custom?

Even in those apps the recording volume is low. Its strange because in calls and videos (like Ts.Productions said) the recording is fine! Is there a way to force whatsapp to use the video mic? Or maybe adjust the microphone level in build prop ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
What I know in Stock rom there is not any option to force the mic. If you have rooted rom you can via build.prop but that will increase the microphone in calls too so I can't help here if the problem persist. You have find a way to force the mic via Apps. Maybe some Dev will know how to help you.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muezzin:
Well i am rooted and running custom rom. I have just tried to add 'ro.config.dualmic=false' to build prop but it hasn't seemed to do anything. I don't mind trying even if it does increase mic in calls, what would i have to edit in build prop?

Galaxy Note 3 also affected - report the issue to the WhatsApp support team!

I stumbled accross another thread and it appears, the Galaxy Note 3 seems to suffer from a similar problem, if not the same. I also reported the issue to the WhatsApp support team. As I tried different ROMs and always had the same problem with my Z1, I doubt it's ROM related, maybe some driver issue...

Even when holding the device 2-3cm away from your mouth, the WhatsApp recording sounds robot like and choppy, similar to what you might hear if you are in an area of bad network coverage during a call. If you speak directly into the bottom microphone (the one in the speaker), the voice sounds quite dull. When speaking into the rear microphone the voice is much clearer and brighter but still choppy. As soon as you hold the phone about 20-30cm away, the the spoken word is faint, garbled and mostly unrecognizable.

I will report back if I receive any feedback from WhatsApp support.

Edit: Gee, if you don't look twice... I received a confirmation email, telling me to look at the FAQ and if required to provide additional information. Since neither the WhatsApp FAQ held any related information and I provided all the details I know of, I thought there's no further action required.

I attached a voice recording sample in my first inquiry, which lead to whatsapp.zendesk.com. I quickly created an account (in my case just requested a password), verified my mail address and was able to see my request.

It was in the status "Awaiting

your

response >>" *head against the wall* ... So I sent another note, this time in English (sent the first in German language). Let's see what happens next.

Current Status:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massimo2001:
... and another "do you still suffer from the problem you reported?"

7 days ago, on Feb 7th I received another email from WhatsApp support. Unfortunately it was a busy week and I managed to reply just yet. The ticket was again placed in "Awaiting your response"...

They asked 4 questions:

1.) What is the make and model of your phone (provide as much detail as possible)?

2.) Which operating system is running on your phone?

3.) What is your phone number (international format, e.g. +49 166 123456)?

4.) WhatsApp Version (in WhatsApp > Settings > About)?

German original:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massimo2001:
finally, an answer from an agent ...

On Feb. 15th I received an answer from an actual agent... maybe ... after having to contact the support 3 times, to keep the ticket open.

As the reply was in German I'll just translate the relevant part of it and quote the original below.

Hallo,

Es sieht aus, als ob dein Gerät nicht mit der Sprachnachrichten-Funktion von WhatsApp kompatibel ist. Dieses Problem kann umgangen werden, indem du die alternative Methode, Sprachnachrichten aufzunehmen, verwendest. Um eine Sprachnachricht aufzunehmen, tippe auf dem Chat-Bildschirm auf die [Büroklammer] > Audio > WhatsApp > Aufnehmen.

Wir arbeiten daran, das Problem in zukünftigen Versionen zu beheben und entschuldigen uns für entstandene Unannehmlichkeiten.

Solltest du weitere Fragen, Anmerkungen oder Anliegen haben, wende dich bitte an uns. Wir helfen dir gerne.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ Regards

The alternate way of recording messages works, but is not as comfortable, as with most workarounds.

Nevertheless, since WhatsApp was bought by Facebook I removed my account and refrain from using it in the future. :mad:

The solution with the recording with the whatsapp audio recorder does not work for me.

Videos are also pretty quiet which is kinda annoying.

install framework: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if framework-res.apk

dump SystemUI.apk: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar d SystemUI.apk
