Hmm i am really waithing for this fix. recording is HD is quite cool and good quality but its useless because the sound always go's bad because its recorded to loud.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
New info:

AudioHardwareInterface: AudioHardwareBase::setParamenters(downgain=0)

That's how Tapemachine switch off hardware auto-gain

And auto-gain off seems only to work with mic set to front (AudioSource: VOICE_RECOGNITION)

Thanks to aLogcat app :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maskarellet:
hohoho. Now we just need someone with the knowledge to do that. Thanks rafalense for find out this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Don't forget that it needs those settings to be optimised for audio calls. Most likely, with theses settings, while in call, the audio will catch more of the surrounding than the vocal itself.`

So the best way for this to works would be to make an apps that does the command then goes dormant. Then you can record whatever and, when done, disable and close the dormant app (kinda like TrackerBooster)

BTW, don't forget that you're recording with a crappy built in microphone from a smartphone. I'll try to do the same with an external microphone to see.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pspbirte:
I own both the Galaxy S and the Samsung Wave s8500.... And, i gotta say, that the Wave has MUCH better sound when recording video at 720p + Its much better synced with the actual video... Maybe you could look at the Wave and how i manages sound? It has the Bada OS (unfortunately) :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
Hi !

That's something I'll fix soon using hardware auto-gain.

For now I'm working on a jitter issue and the gain is the next one in the TODO list ;)

As the jitter one is quite difficult I cannot give ETA yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maskarellet:
Thanks a lot, supercurio, without you, our galaxy wouldn't be as good as it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SKeijmel:
any updates on this item yet? this would make recording video's so much better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
Try this kernel, mic gain issue seems to be solved, plus other sound improvements:

Also, follow Supercurio. Headphone & FM Radio improvements already done, currently busy with mic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806195

I'm busy moddifying stock camera, in order to increase samplerate and bitrate. Updates to come :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:
Great efforts by the members of xda, REALLY.

The idiots at Sam**** should have sorted this out though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SKeijmel:
video bitrate is already quite high but higher audio bitrate might be a good improvement
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
Hardware is able to record @48000 and around 256Kbps, but video and audio are out-of-sync :mad:

My guess, something coded wrong in the driver, so lets see if voodoo sound new kernel fixes it, and then we will record hd video with hd audio as well :)

A did a test for you minutes ago, check audio info:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
why do you think this fixes it.. from my readings that kernel does not muck with video recording rates or microphone gain...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
Hardcores K12L?

Check yourself. I did, and mic distortion is reduced considerably
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
I would recommend trying 44100Hz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
Also possible:

16000 - 22050 - 24000 - 32000 - 44100 - 48000 tested
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpy:
How can you get the camera app to record at 44.1KHz?

Edit: Got it. Weird though, even though it's 44.1KHz, the cutoff frequency is 12.0KHz instead of 22.050KHz. Not much improvement over 8KHz cutoff, but better than nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpy:
Update: This looks to now be fixed in supercurio's kernel patch.

Ok here's a quick 'n dirty method that will clear the audio distortion when using the camera, until someone can do it properly. I haven't tested the JPY version, as I'm on JS3, but it should work. There may also be side effects to this...we don't know yet. That's part of the testing. (Only currently tested on GT-I9000 with XWJS3, anything else is your risk.)

Extract the appropriate XWJS3 or XXJPY libaudio.so file to /system/lib/ - or use the appropriate ClockWorkMod Recovery file

Reboot

To set the parameter, you

must

have the TapeMachine app installed. Open it, and check that "Disable AGC" is ticked (and Audio Source set to "Front mic", just to be sure). That's it. You don't need to record anything, you can exit TapeMachine now...opening the app and setting "Disable AGC" is all that's required for setting the parameter for the Camera app. You will need to open TapeMachine and do this every time you reboot.

Open Camera, and record

You can thank me if it worked (optional) :)

Credit to rafalense for finding the parameter with Logcat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
Cheers lpy!

When you say "That's all you should need to do, until next reboot"... What do you mean? You need to check if "Disable ACG" is checked each time after reboot? Because it was checked, so I didn't have to change anything... Or does 'checking' it also apply it to the camera app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpy:
That's correct, opening and closing TapeMachine will trigger the parameter for other programs. Without TapeMachine, the camera will still be distorted. I know this isn't the best method, but it's the best one I know for now :)

I edited the wording so it hopefully makes more sense now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
Cool, completely clear now (including the updated wording ;) )

Now have to figure out a good test situation to try it, hope it works... Have a concert beginning of february :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rafalense:
Hi lpy,

Good one! I tried my self same approach, but without results

I found out time ago that disabling gain on tapemachine did the trick (in front mic, not in back one):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10263856#post10263856

But welll, only working on tapemachine, not for whole device. That's what you achieved hacking libaudio.so I guess
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpy:
Yep, I did the exact same thing a couple of days later :) I wasn't aware of your thread at the time. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10368655&postcount=248

Exactly. Once it's triggered with TapeMachine, it will work with any recording app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samga:
BTW there are some earlier posts that TapeMachine can record without clipping:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
From this I understand that even though this Disable ACG helps I should still use the audioboost app with it?

*EDIT*

Or use the speedmod kernel as I believe gain is already adjusted a bit in that one by default...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakfingers12:
Excelent, lpy! That's the best sound I've recorded with the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] santu71182:
@Ipy Could you please share what all changes you made for the libaudio.so? I am not a geek but trying to implement similar changes for HD2 builds. If you could send me the diff file that would be great.

http://samfirmware.com will have your stock firmware available. If it isn't obvious, someone here can help identify the right one after learning the above info. Registration is required but it's a free site.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
Since updating to 2.1 I've had a few issues with the stock messenger.....a few times I've had send failed messages, then the recipient got the same text several times (lol) and lately I haven't been getting any notification of new texts until I actually open the messenger.

Is there something I can do to resolve this???

btw, I've looked for the stock 2.1 messenger apk around here, but I can't find it....can someone please provide me with a link ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Are you AT&T? If so, I had the same problem, especially with long text and MMS sending pics. I believe it was a problem within the APN. I don't know exactly how, but now I have 2 APN'S and the problem seems to be solved. I have MEdia Net and MEdia Net MMS, which is the AT&T brand name for their browser/network. I have tested the every APN setting posted in the forums, and they are the only ones that deliver large pics and 4page texts consistantly. If you need the settings, post here.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
yeah, I am using AT&T....that is actually part of my issue, and the other part is that the notification doesn't show up sometimes until I actually open the messenger.

I've downloaded handcent, and re-installed conversations.apk (the 2.1 messenger) just in case, and so far so good, but I haven't tried a really long text or large pic yet...I'll do that and see what happens ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I found the notification problem was in my task killer. Set messaging to ignore fixed it for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
We have discussed the task killer apps extensively here. And the consensus seems to be that they actually cause more harm than good.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Agreed if you just installed and use default settings, but if you take the time to hand set it up, it is a really useful app. Especially kill when screen off saves battery and data. I find I still have 30% battery on day 2 without charging. Without it my battery last 1 day max. If task killer effects an app/phone performance, then set it to ignore. No reason not to use it at all. Without it most apps with permissions would run continuously.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
Hmmmm.....interesting read!! :) I'll give uninstalling ATK, startup manager, etc. a shot for a few days and see what happens. Thanks for the info!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
My battery is at 62% after more than 48 hours since unplugging it. I am an average user as I browse, text, calls...etc very frequently. I do not use ATK or juice defender anymore as I did not find any difference.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I probably use my phone a lot more than the average person. I run my own business with my phone when I am out of the office, not to mention my new addiction to the xda app. :-)

I check my ATK frequently because every day is a balancing act of battery vs usage. After using my browser for 30 minutes, I can't believe how many of my installed apps are running for no reason...the list is 2 screens long sometimes.

Without ATK I wouldn't have any way to free up my system?? Are you saying apps running in background or when screen off is better than using ATK?? Hard for me to believe, but you haven't mislead me yet, Batman. I'll give it a try and report back.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Even if you see a long list of apps, sometimes it is not the whole app that is running but only part of it for a while to do a certain task. Android then terminates them when they are idle for a period of time. I also have my brightness set on the lowest setting and only switch on WiFi/3G when I use them. You can download toggle widgets (e.g. APNdroid) from the market to make it easier to toggle these settings.

Also, if you have weak 3G coverage in your area, then that also drains the battery as the phone is constantly searching for the 3G network. Therefore, sometimes I switch my network mode to only 2G (or GSM only) networks rather than GSM/WCDMA preferred.

In conclusion, there are many factors that contribute to how fast your battery is drained, and apps running in the background is certainly one of them but, definitely not the only reason.

Let us know how it goes :)

Back in topic.. did you resolve your messaging problems? If so, what was your solution? I'm interested in hearing if you tried pics or long messages yet too?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
My solution is handcent ;) It's much better for me than the stock app. The stock app is working, though. I tried mms & sms....both are fine. I found the custom vibrate feature in handcent and now I can actually feel it vibrate when I get a text because it stays on for a full second!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shindou26:
I believe you have a plan with At&t, correct me if I am wrong. One of the APN is for the data and the second one is for MMS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
Nope....I just reinstalled the app directly over the old install ;)

I have 2 apn's with AT&T as well....media net and media net mms
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
No, I mean did you uninstall stock to use handsent? I tried handsent once but didn't like having 2 messengers running at same time.

Good. Everywhere else says just one.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyear420:
Nope....I still have both...just selected to always use handcent by default, and I froze the messenger with titanium :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I don't have titanium backup pro, so I can't freeze. Should I just uninstall stock, and put Batman's apk file in my sdcard without opening it in case I have a problem with handsent?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
I suggest you get titanium backup (free) and mybackup root from the market. Then you can mess around with any apk you like. As for the two at&t settings, here they are in case you need them.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I think I know the problem. I think it is the CRAP global generic xda firmware making everyone think they can use X10i because generic global x10a and X10i are virtually identical, but they are not. If you are using x10i, then you are missing a x10a system cell broadcast widget called CELL INFORMATION. It does something with network connection in the Americas. It has a wifi tower looking logo. If you are still having problems with X10a global generic, I am using regional generic Brazil x10a that seems to be the same firmware given to AT&T and Rogers Canada for branding. It has additional features from the 2.1 update specific to the Americas.

Just made something for you, note: haven't tested it:

Kernel Theiving :)

How to:

- Install Nand version which has the kernel you want.

- Run "extract_kernel.bat"

- Install Nand version you like, and want to keep.

- Run "install_kernel.bat".

- Et voila!

Now, you only have to use "install_kernel.bat" if you flash another rom.

Note: You need adb installed on your PC

I read the batch file and

you have created a folder called boot under data folder and pasted the zimage

so everytime when we boot out Hd2s it going to replace the zimage with the one in boot folder, so i guess its going to delay the booting process (correct me if im wrong) so is it possible to delete that folder after booting our Leos?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Moon2:
No, that's not what it does. it mounts the boot partition temporarily to /data/boot, and after it's mounted, adb copies over the zImage file, and overwrites the preexisting kernel image, after this, the partition is unmounted. So it's not repeated at each boot.
