Hope this is the right section...
I use the Samsung preinstalled audio recorder on my SGS2. It's a nice app, but when it crash, or when i put in pause a recording, instead of stopping it, and for any reason i connect the galaxy to the pc as mass storage memory, the unfinieshed recording file result in a corrupted .3ga file (to be exact, the file remain in the root of the memory with the following name: ".voice.3ga"). This file can't be played. And as a .3ga, i wasn't able to find a repair tool that works fine with this extension/codec. But i'm sure the audio file is stored in this ".voice.3ga", because it is 26 mb.
Did you ever experienced crashes of Samsung recorder during recording action? How can i recover the corrupted ".voice.3ga" file?
Please help me: it is an important recording!
No one can help???
Google /XDA search might help.
One such XDA post changed file name to .mp3

I tried google and xda search before opening this 3d: XDA is always my last chanche/resource, when i find nothing out there... I saw the 3d you are refferring to, but was not helpful: it wasn't about a corrupted .3ga file. I also tried changing the extension .3ga to .mp3 just to use mp3 repair tool (for example to delate the header and give a clean to the file), but it didn't work. Only a specific software that repair .3ga file can work (or, at least, a workaround to recover/close correctly the record on the Galaxy S2), but i found nothing until now.
Thanks for the info.
Still in trouble...
Same issue
Hi,
I am having the same problem. I recorded our concert last Saturday on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the standard recording application, which I have used many times before.
As usual the file has a .3ga extension and it is 100 Mo, which is realistic for about 2 hours of recording.
When I rename it on my computer to .3gp and try to play it with the VLC player, I can see that its length is 1 hour 57 minutes. But VLC does not play it. No error message.
I did the exactly the same procedure last Thursday and last Friday: I can read those previous recordings without any problem. so something went wrong with this last recording and I am trying to repair the file.
I have tried to convert the file to another audio format using a converter online : it did not work. The target file is empty.
I have also tried to repair the file by renaming it as .3gp and using a program called Video Repair with a reference file (the recording of the day before). No success. I get an error message with "movdump.exe".
So right now all my trials to repair this audio file have failed.
Has anyone already experienced this problem... and solved it?

I never found a solution for the corrupted files. Now i have SGS3, and seems to suffer of the same problem.
What i can suggest for the future recordings, to avoid this problem, is to ensure that the recording app is not in background, or at least that android "understand" that the recorder app must have priority in ram allocation. Because i think that is the lack of ram in this 2 devices (coupled with poor ram management by android OS) that cause the issue. So what can you do to minimize the issue?
1) if possible take the recorder app active (not in background)
2) if you need to put the appa in background, use the home buttone to go to the recent app, and tap on the recording app. Do this twice, and android will give an higher priority to the recording app, also if it at the end of this procedure you press "Home" and the recording app goes in backgroung. I guess that in such way android understand that when it reallocate ram from unused apps, it hasn't to recall it from recording app.
3) close telephone (better to close all connections) and mute the volume.
4) do not open (too many and too heavy) apps.
Sorry if i can't help more.....

Hello, i hope i have an easy to answer question.
I am searching around now for quite some time to find where the recorded greeting audio file is saved from the integrated answering machine of the Z2.
I am rooted so it is no problem when it is saved somewhere in the normally inaccessible area. I just wan't to replace the recoded audio with an audio file that is not recorded over the phones microphone.
Has anyone already found that place?
Thanks in advance
I havent looked but if i was you id look for the app data for the phone app, settings, framework
Id even recoment looking through apks (open as zip)

Hello,
thanks for the reply. I just found the right place.
The files are saved under "/data/data/com.android.phone/files/am/greeting/"
The files are saved as Adaptive Multi-Rate (*.amr)
i did it the following way:
1) recorded an audio with approximately the same duration as my audio file i want to use.
2) downloaded the audio file to my pc
3) opened the audio file i want to use on my phone in audacity and made it the exact same length as my recorded audio.
4) saved my modded audio file as amr and saved it on the phone. (placed in the same directory and using the same name as the previously recorded audio)
I am not sure if the stuff with the same length is really needed, but the first time i tried it showed 0 seconds on the phone and didn't looked like it works. (but it might just be that i had the sound muted or something. )

Good to know,
Ill be putting this info in my info thread (you can find at the top of QnA)
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Replying here because this was one of the results that came up when I was looking for the same thing. In newer firmwares (6.0.1) the location has changed:
The greetings are now in /data/data/com.android.server.telecom/files/am/greeting.
Also when I created my own WAV file and converted it to AMR, even though it might sound okay on your xperia or on your PC, it will distort like crazy on the receiver's handset unless you reduce the maximum amplitude (volume) of the sound file to -12dB.
You could find it like this:
Code:
system/xbin/find / 2>/dev/null|grep -ie \.amr$ |sort -r|xargs ls -laFh
On my [email protected] path is:

Hello there! I've searched for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find anything. Similar threads were in this part of the forum, so I hope I've posted this in the right area.
I'm trying to upload a video that I've recorded using Snapchat as a story without rooting my HTC One. The video was recorded on the app, downloaded, and then sent as a one-time view video rather than added as a story at the time. This means the video resolution should be fine and that it doesn't need to be trimmed. I've had success sending the video again by:
- Recording a sample Snapchat video
- Using the Task Manager to swap to File Explorer
- Pasting my video into Snapchat's my_media folder
- Replacing the name of my video with the exact title of the sample video (including nomedia file extension)
However, when I try the same method for posting a story it shows my video on the app, but then says that it can't set the video as a Snapchat.
There's clearly something else that needs to be altered. There are sometimes sesrh_dlw prefixed files in the my_media folder with .mp4.nomedia extensions, but they can't be viewed as videos.
Does Snapchat take a note of the length and file size of the video and check whether it correlates when you try upload it as a story? And if so, why doesn't it do this when you send it as a one-time view video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it's very easy
You need to delete all the contents of the folder (mp4.nomedia and jpg.nomedia ).
Turn off the network and send a video to your history. Will be creat an file in the folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/my_media/). This is your history. Copy the new video to this folder and rename with the history's name.
Turn on the network and resend the history.
P.S. I don't speak English
Does that work for the Snapchat story? I know it works for when you send videos individually to people in your contacts but couldn't find a way to upload a video for everyone to see as a 'story'.

There is an app out there by the name of HOOPLA digital. find it under hoopla in the play store.
many public libraries use it to download digital content ( audio books , movies , music etc..) to their patrons' phones.
does anyone knows where this app stores the downloaded content?
For the life of me I am unable to find either the file or the folder on my phone where downloaded content is stored although it plays just fine.

You should have Sdcard0/com.allinone.free

HOOPLA digital-where is content stored?
Shivadow. Thank you for the reply. Much appreciate the help
I did search for the allinone file or folder but could not find anything like it
What is puzzling is that when I download a title. I can see it downloading and it plays through the hoopla app but there is no file on the device that even resembles an audio file . Even if I sort all the files by date I cannot find anything that matches the download date. I even shut down my phone for a day so as to isolate the date and still nothing .
I have looked in my emulated folder sdcard0 folder and extsdcard folder.
This is bizarre. can you or anyone think of a search strategy to find that content
Thanks again
I found audiobook data in /data/data/com.hoopladata.android/files/audiobook/ and a subfolder with an ID that I'm assuming is a UID for each book the app has. The files within this folder are .ts save for a .key and a .m3u8 which I believe are the AES 128 bit key to decrypt the files and a m3u playlist with metadata about the key.

You cannot see the location on an unrooted device. You need to perform an application backup to get the files onto your computer if using a rooted device. I played around with the audio files, but could not get them unencrypted.
Has anyone been able to figure this out? I've been trying for over a year to no avail. My current device is not rooted so I may be SOL. I found a post on another site for recording the online stream from Hoopla Digital . com but I wasn't able to get it to work.
Courtesy of zly6t
"Working solution! A little slower than what I was doing before but it isn't too hard. Captures the online stream - takes about 10 minutes to DL a 20 hour book; another 5 to convert; and then however long to chapterize. Here's what I used.
Three pieces of software:
1. rtmpDumpHelper (stream ripper)
*one program that requires three separate downloads - all extracted to a single folder*
http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/ (rtmpDump - intervenes in audio stream)
https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/releases (rtmpDump 2.4 patch)
http://nirsoft.net/utils/rtmp_dump_helper.html (UI for rtmpDump)
2. Pazera Free Audio Extractor (.flv to .mp3 coverter)
http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/
3. WavePad (chapter splitting)
http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/
I'm purposefully leaving this a little vague because if figuring out how to use the linked software is too daunting, you probably don't want to mess around with this. But it does work!"
How could that work, though? The audio files on the device are encoded .ts files, there is no way that they are sent over as .flv files and then encoded on your device. I would suggest looking into a audio capture app. DL the book, and then record as it plays.

That method was for the online stream. Do you have a recommendation for an audio capture app?

Do you mean for PC then? It is entirely possible, whatever they do for PC users uses some browser based FLV solution. Your best bet probably would be to do some stream capturing off of the PC, particularly if they use some unencrypted FLV. Secondly, you could try to beg some help from encryption experts for the Android files; It really should be possible.
See my stackoverflow.com question Unless it was a red herring, they include the encryption key with the files, and even a decryption configuration file like ffmpeg likes. Strangely though, the key is encoded in base64 (solvable). But also twice as long as it should be for AES-128, which is both the designated encryption and really the only one you ever see used on encrypted .TS files. ffmpeg will attempt to use it, even with a key that is too long, but does not recognize the output so will fails. So maybe it is encoded in AES-256, in that case we need a more general decryptor to decrypt it than ffmpeg, or maybe PC ffmpeg take the first N characters of a too long key and android ffmpeg takes the last N characters?
Per Hoopla:
Question: Can hoopla content be downloaded?
Answer: Yes, but only to the apps. Downloads are not available for web browsers. All downloads are temporary; they are limited to the duration of the lending period, and at the end of the lending period they are automatically returned. Downloaded titles are also wholly contained within the hoopla app to protect against piracy – they will not appear in iTunes or other “downloads” folders. If users log out of hoopla on the app, any titles that you may have downloaded will automatically be removed from your device. Once logged back into hoopla, users may re-download their borrowed titles to the app. They do not need to re-borrow the titles, just re-download. A title is limited to two downloads per lending period.
I assume that if you turn your device off you will lose any downloaded material also. Maybe someone else can confirm.
Hoopla content is encrypted simply, but not as simply as you might hope (ie keys are not in the m3u8 file)...
Clarification
The full path with my Note-4 connected via USB to my Win-10 PC is:
This PC\SAMSUNG-SM-N910A\Card\Android\data\com.hoopladigital.android\files\downloads\bsa_9781433235177
.ts files are a part of a video storage system for DVDs. Hoopla breaks files into like 3000 pieces, either to make download easier or more likely to enhance security.
You can download to Kindle Fire, then play back offline with audio cord from Kindle's audio jack into a recording app of your choice on your PC but it takes 1:1 recording time to play time, still . . .
What is the current status of extracting audio from hoopla?
How about decrypting comics (jpg)? Anyone has an idea? The files are easily downloable, just can't view it.

Hoopla can be set to download onto your external SD card. Look on card under HDHC("D" /Android/Data/com.hoopladigital.android/files/downloads/(LLL_#############)/ 3 files(Manifest.mpd, (name).jpg, (name).mp4.
Not a normal MP$ file. Can anybody convert it to MP# or play it outside of Hoopla?
Today i was recording a conference using audio recoder of an Alcatel One touch pop C7 with stock Kitkat Rom. The recorder app is the default one too.
Thing is, when i laid the phone on the table, it restarted and didnt save the audio file. Checking the files with a file explorer i notice that i have a m4a.tmp file related to that recording and it has 26MB. ( Since the recording time was not very long, i believe that all audio is there).
I read some posts here at xda and seached along the internet but no solution for this audio file
Can someone help me? It has to be possible to convert this file to be readable through some app or program at PC.
Thanks in advance

Hi FalkeN89, Yes it's possible to recover the file from PC. Try professional audio recovery application, Stellar Photo Recovery, is designed to recover lost or permanently deleted audio files on Windows or macOS in any data loss situation. This software recover any format including ACD, AIFF, AMR, AT3, AU, CAFF, DSS, IFF, M4A, M4P, MIDI, MP3, NRA, OGG, RA, RM, RPS, SND, WAV, and WMA.
Hello,
I recently recorded a video with my HTC M9. Then I pressed on stop, to stop and save the recorded video, but while the saving-procedure my battery died. Later at home I tried to play the video, but it seems corrupt. I transferred the the file to my Mac, and tried it with serveral players, but I cannot play it. The video was about 6-7 minutes long, and the file is about 1GB.
I tried to fix it with the App MP4Fix, which replaces the header files with some of some other video recorded with the phone, but it didn't help.
I tried converting it, but this also didn't work.
What else can I do to fix it, so I can play it?
If there is someone who can help, if explanation is too long, I can upload the file and send a link.
