I just traded up to the rez from my dinc that I held onto all this time. So far I am loving the rez but have run into a few issues.
I use an app called voxer all the time on the dinc. On the rez I am getting complaints that my voice is muffled and playing back audio I can tell it is severely muffled. From my troubleshooting I am thinking that the app is using the noise cancelling mic for main recordings instead of the main mic because when the in call volume is reduced, the recorded mic volume is reduced as well.
If this isn't the issue then I might just have a bad mic but using other apps such as skype, in calls, and google voice all work normally and sound recordings are normal volume.
Anyone use voxer? or willing to try it out and see if they get the same problem I mentioned?
Yes there would appear to be a problem with the app. Using the mic and even a BT headset doesn't seem to work properly. I'm not convinced that it is using the BT mic when I tried it though.
I posted a support issue on their site.
I have not used this app in the past.
also make sure that you have disabled the privacy mode under calls. Its on by default. Helps with muffled voice.
i use voxer too, and i just talk right into the bottom of the phone, and it works fine..

what does voice privacy do, btw?
I tried the voice privacy setting disabled...no difference.
Voxer works, just not loud enough to be usable.
Jay, is your voice volume the same as it would be for skype, google voice, voice recordings? etc?
I think it is.. it sounds it.. i literally talk right into the bottom of the phone tho...
anyone else noticed it always turns the ir sensor on???

What ir sensor?
above the verizon v, under the ear piece.. make a call.. look closely there's a red light on.. that ir sensor determines when to shut off the a teen when your face is near it. It activates with voxer.

Oh you mean the proximity sensor (happens to be done with IR).
That is turned on by the API for any app that is used for calling where you could put your face up to the screen. The proximity sensor senses that you face is there and blanks the screen to prevent your face from activating buttons.
When you end the call, the sensor turns off. Voxer appears to have it on all the time which is kind of strange as i suspect most don't use it close to their face and you have to push the button to talk which is not likely to be close to your face either.
Most likely a bug, and I suspect it does use more power to have it turned on.
One thing I don't like about Voxer and Skype and some of the others is that I many times simply want them off. They don't seem to provide a way of doing that (that I've seen). I rarely use Skype as a result, I freeze it and unfreeze it in the rare cases I actually need to use it.
yep, you're very right. now, with voxer, i literally have to put my mouth next to the bottom mic to be nice and loud...so if that's the bug you're all talkin about,t hen yeah i've got it too.
and heytell has the proximity sensor bug as well..it always stays on.

I read the SGS2 has noise cancellation?
Can anybody confirm if this uses the dual microphone approach as used in the Nexus and
some noise cancelling headsets?
If it does, I'm guessing there should be an additional microphone located away from the 'proper' microphone.
Thanks
D
Yes it does have noise cancellation. The second mic looks like it's at the top next to the headphone socket.
can anyone comment on the in-call quality with the noise canellation? the nexus s has very bad call audio in noisy environments. my nexus one call quality is superb with the second mic.
is the SGS2 very good in this regard?
He talks about call quality and it sounds very good.
youtube.com/watch?v=9UhSL7yaSCI
Does it also reduce non-stationary background noise ?
Is this noise cancelling mic used as one of the stereo mic's when recording video do you know?
Does anyone else's noise cancelling mic seem to turn itself off? Every time i make a call,the screen shows noise reduction off even though its enabled,i switch it back on but when i make a call again its off.
Can anyone see if this is the case on there S2 to see if its a fault or a bug. Thanks.

When do you see that message? Is it when the other end answers?
Cant say I have noticed it.
Does it only happen on speaker phone or BT headset?
It happens when the other person answers,a squiggly icon appears on the left. If u press the menu button you can select to turn it off or on.

As I previously said, are you using speaker or a headset?
Or is this just a regular call, ie you hold the phone to the side of your head?
Oh, and where are the settings for noise cancellation?
thanks
its just a regular call mate.

When your on a call press the menu button and the option to turn noise cancellation on/off is there.
I can confirm I get the same
If you've turned it on while on a call then disconnected that call and make another call is it still on or has it turned off again? Mine always switches off..
Yep thats what I get
Do you think thats a fault, its a bit annoying that you have to turn it on every time you make a call..
Unless the icon with the line through the sound wave actually means that its cancelling noise?
The speed of the internal storage? Like what equivalent to classes for sd it would be?

nov 12: edited the title since this turned more into a discussion about the audio pops and clicks from the VIDEO CAMERA and VOICE RECORDING apps....may be a codec problem!? EVERYONE has this; let's bring it to HTC's attention! i currently have an open ticket iwth the escalations department to which he called me, and i sent him the links to my youtube showing all of the clicking noises in every video marked HTC Rezound:
www.youtube.com/ochsbeatdown
let's bring this to their attention!!
Use Antutu or another bench, they tell you R/W speeds. About the only thing they are good for, lol.
sweet thanks...yeah i wondered what the speed is for that..figured maybe making videos on a faster speed may get rid of those pops and clicks..however i just did, and it didn't do **** lol
I haven't recorded any videos on my Rezound yet, still, lol.
I did a few more guitar videos today.. Same clicks and pops. Meh

Is it while focusing or zooming? Or is it just the sound is too loud entering the device?
Might be when sound is too loud. I don't notice any focusing going on but that's a damn good idea. I think we can turn auto focus off in video too. It's like a digital blip noise so i don't know what exactly it is
It also did it with an acoustic, which isn't loud at all.... So i think it does it irregardless of sound

I recorded a quick video of my puppies play fighting in my livingroom. The only "noise" I hear is my phone vibrating and the notification of Kenny Powers "Dollar Dollar Bills Ya'll" when I get a text mid video! I am pleasantly surprised by this though! My X2 would stop recording if I got a message of any kind. I like that this records right through it, so you can just put it on silent and record away!
hmm...yeah, here's the noise i hear:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-UQWEXvGQs
very noticeable here; did this yest
I hear it... weird man. My phone doesn't ever do that, that I know of. I got a friend who can play about as well as you. I will see if he will let me record a clip to compare. Hopefully it is only hardware on your end.
hopefully its NOT hardware! hahaha i don't, wanna replace this thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4aTQctjEm8&feature=youtu.be
there's the dog playing in the yard..it seems to be a noise that only occurs when clipping happens....but it takes little to NOTHING to clip the audio..i bet it's a noise cancellation issue
Well, if it is hardware then it is good because it isn't wide spread.

Do me a favor, play some loud music on a stereo and see if it does the same thing, that way I can try to re-create your problem on my end with the same method.
I just did a test of this, and mine makes audible clicking sounds whenever the camera is refocusing. You can test it on your device by getting a contrasting shot (use mine as an example) and then tapping the screen between the two points to make it refocus on the point you select.
http://youtu.be/gjmqDC9MLYc
sometimes when it refocuses, it doesn't make a noise at all (ideal). So maybe it's some software params making the lense try and adjust further than it can, or it might just be a camera problem..
eitherway, i don't take videos very often, so won't worry me too much.
That sign in the back gave me my laugh for the day!
that sign rocks hahahaha
but those aren't the same clicks i'm getting. i shall test with loud music playing and by pressing to auto focus...
CAN WE turn off auto focus on video? i know we can on pics, but howbout vidoe?

notice at 1:01 when i goto the subwoofer you can hear the squink noise destinctly..i wonder if low freqs are what make it squink?

Those clicks when the video starts while it's trying to focus on your laptop screen are the same as mine too.
I can't help but think the pop I hear at 1:01 is the exact same sound too...
Best test for the audio would be to lay the camera face down or something and hit record, and see what it gets.
Edit: on second thought, I think i'm hearing both types of clicks.
I wonder if the regular voice recorder has this problem too?
Edit2: sure does... i have a steady pattern of clicks on my voice recordings when recording my piano. they're like every ~2.5 seconds... and very predictable. especially on some of the youtube links posted earlier..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1451ZVudgOM&feature=related
Maybe it's just a codec problem?
When i record as AAC_LC in the voice recorder I hear the digital blips.... not so much with AMR, but it's a less quality codec I think.
Edit 3: OP you should change the title of the thread so other forum members drill into it, i'm sure there's someone who knows what might be going on better than I do.
But from my vantage it sounds like a codec error. Hopefully resolved by an HTC update, or a future fix when we get perm root.
The video clicks during focusing I've researched a bit, and it may be related to how the software handles the camera functions, and could also be resolved with some updates... fingers crossed.
nice, good call. updated the title!
I have been unable to really root out the issue here with the camera lense making that noise as it tries to refocus... I'm assuming it's software controllable so some parameter in there somewhere would fix it. Guess we'll have to wait for root and a custom Rom!
anyway, I've tried some different camera apps, messing with the autofocus to see if it makes a difference, and they still all seem to make the auto-focus noise. I haven't found any market apps that do video recording however. Does anyone know of any?
I'll dig in the SDK a bit, but I bet the autofocus fuction is part of the ROM and not the software using the camera. In which case, different software won't make a difference. Just sounds like the lense is over-reacting while recording a video, causing the clicks in the video recording.
As for the blips, I'm definitely convinced it's a codec issue, since it also happens in the voice recorder which (I'm assuming) might be use the same codec as the built in video recorder app for the audio.
Case still open for now...
man, i'm having a hard time finding an app that does video, too. i downloaded the MIUI camera APK i found on here somewhere, but the video recording was like 1fps lol it was terrible, so i didn't even bother.
I was wondering if there is a way to adjust the bluetooth sensitivity on the rezound. The problem I am having is that callers claim they hear everything, I am crystal clear but they can hear all my movements and the big problem is that if I am using while a game is on, music, etc, even when I lower than my normal usage volume they say my tv is way too loud. I have looked through all the settings and unless I am blind I have not found a native option, is there maybe an app? I know the issue isn't the phone, it is the bluetooth because I had the same issue using it on my ps3 but the ps3 has sensitivity options in the mic settings so it was an easy fix.
Thanks for any help

I was sleepily switching SIM cards and accidentally poked the sim tool into the noise reduction mic.
I'm sure I felt a little click or pop and I'm obviously worried I've damaged something.
Is there any sure fire way to test its definitely working properly other than just making calls?
I pulled up the diagnostics menu but I can't see anything relevant in there to test, is there anything in there perhaps not immediately obvious that could help me see if it's functioning properly?
Thanks!
Well, now I don't feel so stupid for doing the same thing.
Guess we are three.... any findings??

Well either it's an ongoing problem, or there's three stupid people. I'm gonna go with ongoing problem.
Only findings I have is that the phone's function doesn't seem to be impacted at all.
I've not noticed any issues, calls seem to be fine!
I didn't find anything else concrete, just an article somewhere talking about the diagnostics menu where I left a comment. The author came back to me and had also done something similar (it's a real issue! ) and said his was fine and it "probably" hadn't done any lasting damage
Good to know, thanks!

I did the same too...
Well, fortunately I'm not one of you, stupid people D ) but maybe I have a tip to test the microphone.
Open the voice recorder and set the interview mode (I have set the Italian language on my phone, so I don't know the exact english name of the app and of the function, sorry): using that you can record the voice of two people (one in front of the other) using the 2 microphones, with a visual feed of what mic is recording the sound (you have the visual feed in the play mode, too).
Test it!
Thank for the advise Glaucos, I ran the voice recorder and luckily both microphones appear to be in good order even though I poked the hole of the noice cancellation mic pretty hard.
Hey guys, I'm with the same problem haha, someone poked my mic and I don't know how to check it.
My galaxy A3 2016 has the Samsung Recorder, but I'm unable to change to the interview mode. Any thoughts of another recorder I can download?
Thanks in advance!
Working solution for testing mic (works for both the mics )
Dial *#0283#
This will take you to mic test menu, offering 4 options i.e. rcv_1st mic
Rcv_2nd mic
Earphone
Stop.
Generally second mic is the mic on the top(noise cancellation mic)
Choose the option and speak into it. It will be reapting your sound. If it does then its working else you have damaged it.
Choosing the option channels the mic and speaker into something like mic to speaker system where you speak into mic and hear the same thing out of the speaker at the same time.
I have tested this on my galaxy note 5

Thanks! Worked on my A50 with android 10. Droped the phone to the water and I was unsure if the second mic was working ok.
Hi.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi 10 and before using it I went through updates (so I cannot say how it was before).
I have noticed that when reproducing an audio or voice note in apps like WhatsApp or Telegram, the sound is very low and sometimes it reproduces them well and then bad and so on. It also happens in games, where a MI 9T with just one speaker is louder than mine. I have noticed too that it happens when increasing the general volume. At 60% you can hear the bass and amazing sound but if you increase it, the quality goes down and you hear too much treble.
I have been reading that I'm not the only one with this problem (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/speakerphone-loudness-clarity.4049087/), but I wanted to know if this is a common mistake or just some units.
Thanks!
Here a video:
Yes seem like guys are more interested in modding but ignore daily usage real problem. I confirm this problem and I ask you if you have big problem using proximity sensor when you call or want to ear vocal WhatsApp message without speaker. For me have a really bad setup

Totally agree. People is more concerned about ROMs and custom recovery than daily usage.
I have experienced that sometimes in calls I cannot make the sensor turn off the screen. Or in WhatsApp sometimes it goes crazy, but not frequently.
I read that you can solve that problem going to the dial and using the code *#*#6484#*#*. Then go to proximity sensor (23), cover it to check it goes from 0 to 5 and press ok and exit.
Hope you can solve it.
