when i try and record audio (mp3s) with my streak the result comes out high pitched. the stock sound recorder quality isnt very good. I have been trying out mp3/wav recorders form the market.
it almost seems to be a sampling issue.....but the recorders bit rates are all set right.....cd quality, etc....
any ideas?..... is there something i need to change....?
also.....i installed cleartune......and to make it work right i had to make it transpose to D and set A=427Hz.....i installed another tuner called "datuner"....it works fine....
very frustrating cause im a band director and really need to record things on the fly.....but not high pitched.....?
Rehearsal Assitant - can't comment on using for high quality recordings, but works for voice for me.
cool....ty ...
tried it.....rehearsal assistant still uses a lower bitrate when recording. .wav recording doest work at all....it looks like it is recording but is not......and the files will close and crash the player...
i need a solution to record at high bitrates.
man.... i have tried i think every recording program on the market..... the only one that would record at 44.1k was "Livo Recorder"..... it will record .wavs that sound ok...but at 5-10 Mb/min.... .wavs are just way too big to use and email....
all the .mp3/other recorders would record but the files came out sounding like they were being played in a slow fast forward...
this is very frustrating..... is it the streak?....is it android 2.2?
i need this to work.... i need to record stuff all the time....and .3gp at 8k is not going to work for concert band recordings....the end result is too muddy sounding.....i dont record to keep...only for review... it is an essential aid when working my band
any ideas?.....and thank you for your help
Recordings are horrible!?!? Would love to find an anwser too
I have had the same issue and I would love to know what can be done. I have tried contacting the developers of various recording apps, but get no response from any???
im sure a lot of other streak cats and maybe some android users in general are having the same problem...
this is a real bummer for me actually.....this could be a serious deal buster for me...i may have to go back to my iphone i bought the streak as an upgrade to my jailbroken iphone 3gs.... iphone sucks but at least it does what it is supposed to do...and yes to make an iphone bearable you really should jailbreak it.....
i also had to root my streak to fix several other issues as well.....lol.... i had to "jail break" my streak....lol...
like the tuner issue im having....being a band director i NEED a tuner...it is a must have....i know i could just use a dedicated pocket tuner, but..... the point is that something is totally not working right in the streak or android....being able to record these days at CD quality should be a no-brainer to developers and/or hardware developers..... i was recording cd quality back in 2001 on my sx-66(the original XDA phone...) pocket pc phone....lol....
anyway,......any ideas?
anyone else having these issues?..... have you found something that works?
Maybe list the recorders you've already tried, so someone doesn't repeat. I've been using pcm recorder for voice recognition (naturallyspeaking), but of course that's only wav. Probably the difficulty lies in the licensing required for creating mp3's.
Would ogg recording do?

Hi Guys. I seriously looked into this question, but couldn't find the answer anywhere.
...
I was in a music festival in Latvia, called POSITIVUS, and I was photographing and filming the living hell out of this festival. Afterwards, I was watching the filmed material and the sound by filming the bands perform, was... one word - terrible. I was thinking - yeah, it was loud, so, no wonder. But then i saw the same band in practically the same footage filmed next to me, with my friends iPhone 4 and in his footage the sound was great. No noise, no speakers blasting horrible sounds.
...
SO, i was wondering... maybe someone knows how to limit the sound input in video recording so it wouldn't sound like the speakers are about to blow up.
...
Please dev's... could you look into this?

I am on Villain ROM with VillainRomTweaks and i Installed the better camera apk., I never would ask for something like that, IF IT WAS SO OBVIOUS!

DEV's I am hoping for your help... Please, Devs...
I have the same problem. I've recorded a live concert and the sounds are terrible. I'm sure it is possible to fix that.
For sound recording only, I'm using Hi-Q MP3 recorder. This app allows to control volume input levels. The result is much better.
If there was a way to link the Hi-Q recorder to the video app as the default audio then we would be one step closer.....
Any Solution for this ???????????/
I have the same problem? Anybody can help????/
Hello!
Is there a way to record videos with the screen turned off? I frequently record longer videos and that would save a lot of juice...
I have tried the various spy camera like apps, but none of them makes high quality recordings (although some of them can record HD it is of very low quality).
The only feature I need is to be able to turn off the screen after starting the recording in the stock camera app.
Is it possible?
No.
The only current way is 3rd party apps, as you mention. I guess you're stuck with the best of them, for now.
I use videoreg from the market to record my car journeys in case of an accident and to laugh at the stupid things people do
this has third party support for the samsung hi def codecs and can record in background, with the screen off.

it pretty much just worked, AAC audio, 1280x720 (although 1080p works too) H.264 and mpeg4. Make sure to turn on extended camera controls and manual bitrate.
After a reboot it now works as it should (before it stopped the recording right after I pressed the rec button and did not save anything) - the quality is really perfect!! Thanks a lot! (Although I still prefer to use the stock app - in case somebody has a solution for that please post it...)
I've recently published app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lofatsoftware.hvc which records video in background... also then screen is turned off.
I've tried it on 6 different devices and quality of video is exactly the same as when recording via android stock camera application.
I would be grateful for feedback if my app works for you.
Best reagrds,
I just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
does anybody have any ideas?
I'm rather surprised that nobody seems to have any ideas on this... could someone at least please relay to me why this isn't possible (if it's not possible)?
I would think that this would be a reasonably popular thing to do (recording video whilst looking at a prompter or even a web page or something to do podcasting stuff...
Is this something I'm going to have to write? (I have no idea how to dev android apps).
well i'm glad to see that google does a good job at finding appropriate threads - here it is, a couple of months later, and I'm revisiting the same problem that I had before - I still can't record and prompt at the same time on my i717 (now running cm9 / cm10, not that it should matter)... I still don't get it.
i don't know what to say , u searched a program on google?i believe that is here at least 1 program for your note
Video app with built in teleprompter
There is a great teleprompter/video recording app. It's called VRT2. Unfortunately you would have to downgrade to an iPad to get it. When I saw it, I was tempted o make the switch, but I don't want to give up the advanced features of my Samsung Note 10.
I'm hoping that a great Android app developer will create something like the VRT2 soon.
When it's ready, I'm ready to buy it.
I still can't seem to find anything that does this and it would be *great* for quick video podcasting... I just want to be able to record myself on the front camera while either reading my notes or looking at a teleprompter with the outline i've created for the segment.
Video recorder teleprompter
Have you found any other software to video you with front facing camera with teleprompter on screen?
I know Ipad have one on itunes costing somewhere 24 dollars or £18 which is a professional one, not tried it but I now it does record you and at the same time has all the words you want to talk about in front of you.
Keep up to date, I don't know which tablet to buy because of this problem.

Hello, new here. I wanted to get some suggestions on what to do for this situation.
I've been currently searching for a new phone & I've found it, the Amaze of course. I finished my research and found this to be the perfect phone for me, though there is one issue I want to know about.
The Audio Quality on this phone is down right terrible compared to many phones out there, & I don't understand if this is a software problem or a hardware problem.
I need to know if this issue can be or is already solved, because out of the many videos I've seen its the same issue with the Audio in the video, just sad for such a highend phone. Has anyone fixed this or is someone working on it? Thanks
Do you have a case on your phone? If you do then does it have the holes around the camera where the holes are?
I just recorded my daughters school play with ky phone and it sounds great. Then again I'm using a modded Camera.apk and using a Custom Rom. But the Quality of my recordings were nice.

I've noticed that audio is passable on normal recordings. I happen to be a race fan, and IndyCar and F1 sound terrible on this phone. They overpower the mic and the audio is clipped or something, becuase I get alot of loud scratchy noise. I'm on stock, BTW.
Thanks for replying
@Double0EK - I've still yet to buy the phone, I'm just making sure before I buy that it can be fixed. I heard that this issue could be resolved by using a Custom ROM, I wish I could post youtube links right away to show you what I mean. Its like a hollow super sensitive mic, its most noticeable when recording voice.
@oryan_dunn - That's similar but even then, just simple voice recording sounds bad to me. Every single video that I watch you can tell of the quality, since I can't post youtube links yet, if you happen to be on there you can search for video samples of peoples voice on it.
Here's a small portion of the video I recorded with my phone. I think it sounds great..but then again I came from a really early/crappy phone before I got the Amaze. So naturally everything is better for me.

@Double0EK - Aww, so cute, lol. Thank you very much for uploading that Yea I can tell that its much different, definitively sounds way much better. I guess I'll have to give it a go & root it right after.
I'm with the LG Optimus V, and even though the Evo 3D just came out for Virginmobile, I'm sick of their terrible service. I understand that its a prepaid, but service is just not good around in my area. T-Mobiles $30 Plan, 100minutes, unlimited texting and 5GB of data is very tempting, just needed to a phone to bring over. Thank you very much again.
i purchased this phone recently mainly because i wanted a good camera phone to bring to concert events. that way i wouldnt have to bring my camcorder. the video capture is great, however the audio was overwhelmed. i figured the 3 noise cancelling mics in the back would make sound recording good but that was not the case...
few examples:
damn i cant post links cause i dont have 10 posts yet...ill pm i guess
think i'm going to look into a modded camera.apk as well to see if i get better results
Guys,
Give lgcamera a whirl from the market. While it records in mono, the sound is much improved over the high gain HTC puts in their camcorder app. I'm on a Sensation but we suffer the same problem. With the lgcamera app you can set the audio to aac, 320kbs, 44.1khz. Sound is much better. If lgcamera doesn't do it for you try camera ICS from the market. Its basically the stock camera in the galaxy nexus.
Hope this helps.

You can hear that hissssssssss sometimes during the video that I cant stand. Its almost as if something is two loud for the video. Its always like that when recorded with stereo on. I personally always record in mono and it makes that sound go away
I was sitting next to one of the speakers so ya its kind of loud. I know what you mean tho. The mics are very sensitive.

I can tell you quite honestly, there are some audio situations(like someone mentioned races) that NO phone is going to record well, and someone suggested an app that you can choose audio settings - that sounds like the best idea.
I attached a screenshot, disable stereo audio, this HUGELY increases quality of audio.. but I'm sure with some light googling you could find an app that will help, or there may even be some build.prop tweaks out there..
But what I think trying to capture really loud sound is something you can't expect, this is a phone not a video camera(and most video cameras have the same issue).. but this phone has such a sensitive audio that really light sounds are picked up perfectly, crisp..
I guess my final thought - you're going to lose BIG time getting any other phone just because of this one thing - lower quality video, worse color capture(samsung!), loss of many features, speed, etc.. if you're willing to get what will be an inferior phone in SOME way just to get better audio, so be it.. but there is some work around I'm sure you could find with a little effort on your part.
so i downloaded and installed lgcamera... did a recording with stock camera app and then recorded the exact same stuff and me saying the exact same thing with lgcamera app. didnt hear much of a difference... THEN i decided to turn ''camcorder'' mode ON in lgcamera app and holy mother of GOD excellent audio!
Now i gotta tweak the video record settings for best quality on the video. (h.264 or mpeg4, also what quality settings and whatnot from there)
ALSO it would be nice to be able to launch lgcamera app from the dedicated video record button on the side of the phone. is there a way to do that?
also, does anyone want me to upload comparison audio videos showing you the difference between stock and the settings i chose?

I'm curious on the comparison video.. I just downloaded the app, really like it so far.. only issue is that I haven't found a video setting that works properly yet - what are all the video settings you're using? It will record SOMETHING.. but the screen freezes when I hit record, and it can't play whatever the output video is. I tried all the formats, multiple frames per second, different audio settings..
But definitely a nice app, once I get video working properly it will be my daily driver.
As for changing the camera button to that app, that may be pretty difficult.. it is something you have to change in the is, unless there's an app for that. I know tasker could do it.. but start Googling button remapper, and check the market.. I think I remember something that could do it.
edit: now when I press the key it automatically opens the app, I didn't change any settings.. so there must be some setting in the app for that perhaps? Otherwise, tasker will do the trick..
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
holding the camera key opens up lg camera so thats nice. but holding the dedicated video camera button still opens the stock video camera... curious.
Ill tell you my settings later when i upload the comparison video
seems there is a setback. lgcamera videos would playback choppy and super slow. tried to record with the stock app and the video came out the same way. did some research online, it seems sometimes LGcamera will corrupt and even mess up the stock camera forcing a factory reset to get everything working again. luckily my phone iso nly 2 days old so factory resetting isnt a pain for me.
ill see what i come up with afterwards

Try switching the scene mode to action or flowers. Flowers work best for me for consistent 30fps. Also make sure you test frame output in good lighting. Dim lighting will always have a lower recorded frame rate.
what i mean is when i plugged the camera back in to my computer and tried to play the videos on my computer, they would run at like 1/4th the speed and sometimes not play. after fcatory resetting it still did this. i restarted my computer and it fixed it. so maybe it was a playback issure on my comp vs the phone. i kept recording videos and plugging and unplugging my phone to my cmputer. i probably created a feedback loop or mucked up drivers or something. ill keep giving it a go.

And here it is.
I tested out stock camera stereo off, lg camera stereo on, and lg camera stereo off.
lgcamera stereo off is the exact sound quality we're looking for. It clearly works and sounds great! I sample them in my house and outside with fireworks going off to give you an idea how it will do with loud sounds and all that good stuff. check it out, i think you'll be pleasently surprised. ill be using lgcamera for my videos from here on out.
I saw no distinguishable difference in the 'quality' of the video between stock camera app and lgcamera at 20mb for video recording. (anything above 20 will not work as it will fail in recording. and when it does record when you watch it later the file will be corrupt)
settings are
video:
1920x1080
H.264
MPEG4
20Mbit (any higher will result in freezes and corrupt files)
30fps
Audio:
Camcorder
AAC
4800
32000
interesting

It won't work for me at that resolution, it just says video record failed, I have to use 1920x1088 or less than that. Also, I think you meant audio settings 48000 and 320000, but if you did.. it gets really choppy at that point. Lowering the settings much below that increases video quality, but then the sound is worse than stock video.
I'm thinking the audio quality of the stock video player is the highest it can be while still maintaining highest quality video, or at least that is what I gather from testing between the two. And besides, after doing the camera hack included in most current roms, the audio quality is MUCH better, which makes me think that the 40mb/s recording allows for better audio with stock.
Are you using the camera hack or a rom that has it included? If not, give it a try, I think it makes this camera app kind of a moot point.. if this app had more polish, and worked more consistently, maybe I would make the switch, but the stock app isn't bad by far, even less so with the camera mod.
Here is the settings that are used by the stock tmo camera app(from the modified media_profiles.xml in system/etc), if you are mainly trying to get better quality sound, that is the file you need to modify. If you are stock, but rooted.. find the mod, this is what it would look like:
<AudioEncoderCap name="aac" enabled="true"
minBitRate="8000" maxBitRate="96000"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="48000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="2" />
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrwb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="6600" maxBitRate="23050"
minSampleRate="16000" maxSampleRate="16000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrnb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="5525" maxBitRate="12200"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="8000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Raise the minbitrate and minsamplerate to something higher, and raise the max if that isn't high enough for you.. if you don't want it to record in amrwb or amrnb format change those lines to enabled="false"
Makes more sense than using a 3rd party app that only sorta works I think..
Hey there,
as you probably know, it's forbidden by google to include a function to an app to record the internal sound. That's the reason why all audio/video-recorder-apps (like AZ Screen Recorder) only allow to record the microphone(s).
Is there anyway a solution to record the internal sound, for example with a cable? But only the digital way via USB(-C) and not the analog way with the phone jack which causes side noises! Do I need a special OTG-Cable?
If I connect the original USB-C-Cable to my pc nothing happens really.
In the dev options in the android settings I can de/activate the usb-audiorouting (but I can see no changes)
I also can choose 'audiosource' in the usb-config. If I plugin then to my computer, there is no new 'microphone' in the audio settings. In the device manager the BLA-L29 is listed, but the drivers are marked as corrupt.
Can somebody help me to finally have the power to record the internal sound? Thank you!
Perhaps try a Bluetooth recorder? I came across this after a 5-second web search; I'm sure that with a little more effort you could find many more varieties.

Update: Huawei Mate 10 Pro Screen Record with Audio
Hi
I'm a Streamer and mobile Gamer, Just updated to Official Stable Android 9 on my Mate 10 pro and they actually provided a new screen recorder that can record internal audio but..
Here is the issue i'm facing :
1) When using the screen recording app and i turn the microphone off i'm able to record system sounds on any app and while its recording ,however the speaker sound is turned off so you wont hear anything until you stop the screen record. Also if you enable the mic the screen recorder app will record audio from your mic
I hope this could help Devs to take a close look at this , all we want is that to use a screen recorder which records System audio and mic just like the IPhone to allow us to stream our games to platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Omlet Arcade without buying a IPhone .
I understand google bans devs from accessing this API : Internal Audio, but what if Huawei just develop a app like Samsung Game Launcher where only games and Streaming apps like Twitch, Youtube, Facebook Live, Omlet Arcade are allowed to access the Internet Audio Recording Function?
And BTW to all those trolls , we not requesting bloatware its a just a simple screen recorder or a Gaming Suite/Launcher app for our Mobile Gaming Community
Regards
