Greetings beloved XDA folks,
I've noticed throughout my use of an Xperia X10a (running SE 1.6, 2.1 now 2.3) that the pitch on recorded audio gets shifted by at least a half note. Seems to fall between a half and whole note, regardless of the audio app being used.
Note that this does not happen when recording video -- the audio is fine with recorded video.
I've tried different microphones, and the same issue occurs. Can't seem to find any discussion of the issue here. Anyone ever notice this? I haven't tried any different ROMs -- SE only -- do you think that would help?
Love you devs -- I would've trashed this phone without your efforts.
Hi.
I had this problem, too, and it was solved recording the sounds in 48 KHz. For that you can download "PCM Recorder" (from Kohei YASUI) for free at the Market / Play.
Hope it helps.
That worked! How weird. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Thx!

Did anybody else notice a bug in SE Music app on newest Gingerbread Rom? For me, when playing music, tracks are often interrupted by a strange electronic noise.
BTW I'm using "WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread". Did anybody has similar problems
and does this bug also appears in stock gingerbread rom or is it due to using a custom rom? I would be thankful for any answers.
Best regards.
me too
i have this problem too in WB 2.3.3 ROM

I'm on wb hotfix 4 and ubermusic, and have no problems at all

i think the music player is really buggy... apart from the static noises between tracks, after unlocking from lock screen the track skips. Theres no shuffle/ repeat options at all, and wma files doesnt show up.
I was about to post the same thing. Other than her has anybody found a mp3 that does not skip.

This is Sony Ericsson Music App right? Not Stock Android Music player.
Stupid "Like" button for Facebook.
Only good thing is "infinite" button, which shows youtube videos of artist... but havent found out when i should use it..... because if i'm listening and interpret i most time know which songs he has....
Some1 know how to uninstall this music ab and how to install... was is music 3 from stock android ?
Well true and there is lag in music playing when using applications. Feels like slow processor or what.

Uninstall with titanium backup, and install the music apk if your preference

Yeah, I`ve same problem, when using that stock music player(which has that widget). It`s really annoying, like stopping music playing for 0,5 sec and then continuing, that really sux :/ I hope there`ll be some fix for it...
Using this one here.

Best combination I have found so far! Also on hotfix 4 and ubermusic gives me the least amount of trouble for playing music. Still skips when turning screen on but it is much more tolerable overall!
Yes guys, seems to be an issue with 2.3.3. Wolf is working on a new ROM (as the rooted ones are based on an indian firmware of X10 - but apparently the ROM from GB doesn't have this issue).
Please check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16278495&postcount=1904
Is not related to SD Card, nor to hardware (as it worked ok with 2.1 no stuttering ever) as far as I can tell.
Since Monday I'm on 005 but still the same probs with the stock player. Now 2 days later, I've considerably fewer drops. Didnt install any add apk's. very strange ?!?
by the way ;did anyone test mp3 with different bit rates ?
I've tested 128 kbps (same issues) and vbr 192-320 kbps (same issues).
I connected to my car's hands free and still had the same issues.
I connected to an A2DP music gateway and it didn't hiccup when rotating but messed up when turning the screen back on/off.
Someone said that the UK GB version doesn't have this problem. Wolf also mentions this (I think he's going to use the pre-rooted UK version for 006). Right now Wolf's rom is based on the pre-rooted India version.
Is anyone running EWJet? That one is based on the UK version and it would be interesting to know if that one is having audio issues.
I also have similar issue its too much lagy.
And also when i open some mp3 file from file manager it plays the other.
there are too many problems with this default music player from sony.
And also i can't use next/previous button of my mw600 with this player.
Mediascape was much much better then this.
Please i want mediascpe back on 2.3.3. Help me out.
I'm now on 006 , and the problems are back . I dont believe that it is an 2.3.3 specific problem. As I wrote before , on the old version the noises were gone after 2 days.
Video on my galaxy player 5 using skype comes up upside down for the front facing camera. It seem an issue with a lot of devices, but someone in a forum said their video was ok before updating skype.
Does anyone has good video in skype and can tell me their skype version?
I unfortunately don't have an answer for your question but I need to know, how's upside down? Is it you on their end or them on your end?

Both. My image appears upside down while transmitting it right to the other end. And in this position the received image from the other end is also upside down.
I think it is something to do with the camera software, not Skype because I got Google talk with video and it does the same thing, but only in portrait, not landscape.

Upgrade YP-G70 from Froyo to GB
Upgrade YP-G70 from Froyo to Gingerbread, the problem can be solved (my experience). Or get a previous version of Skype if you can find it.
Same problem on LG G2x. Can't seem to fix it. Seems like it would be such a simple thing for the developer to add a simple "rotate video" option. How stupid. Anyone find a fix yet?
Do a hand stand jk i would say,try an older version of skype.

Has anyone tried this yet? Does it improve the sound quality significantly?
Saw it, haven't tested it myself as I really don't care about audio quality! 192kbs mp3 format is good enough for my ears, lol!
I try it and it works pretty good... it sounds pretty good
I have this on my atrix its ok!

Tried it: fantastic sound!!!
Sweet thanks guys!
Seems the guy removed his thread, anyone still got the .zip and can put it up somewhere? cheers.

Hello, I have a weird problem that recently developed, and this is the only thing I can think of that could cause it. Many formats previously compatible now give me a "format not supported" when attwmping to play them in the stock media players. Some examples are mkv, avi, and even some wav! Has anyone else experienced this after appying this mod, or is it something else I've done?
UPDATE: YES! I uninstalled the beats mod, and confirm (for me anyway) that this does make some audio/video files incompatible with the stock players.
O I thought that had something to do with the files. I just switched to MX video player to solve the problem.
Another problem: this mod makes hardware video playback impossible even with the build.prop tweak to enable it.
Hi !
Just wondering is there any good app to do this kind of stuff ?
I have been googling for more than 2hours , got all kind of stuff but nothing that specialised to do this !
I have found several audio recorders , but non of them seems to compatible with skype .
Thanks for wasting your time for us!
I don't think so. Even on a PC it's very hard find a decent Skype recording solution. Most of them including Pamela are just screen recorders and record sound from line out. There's no direct recording from Skype. For Android, nothing exists.

Hi everybody
I'm looking for a good call recorder for a sony xperia mini pro running a rooted android 4.04 ICS, no custom rom & no custom kernel until now (I've got it just from last week)
I've been recording ALL my calls since 2006 with a crappy nokia N70 (symbian s60) with an amazing app called "ultimate call recorder" by ultimateportable.
Never had a problem. When my mem card was full, the oldest calls were deleted, the app started and stopped automatically with my phone so
I didn't need to worry about it, only when I needded to look for a concrete recorded call for some reason. No beeps during call or other strange sounds, just...a good portion of code doing its job.
Now I've just migrated to android, I can play guitar with my phone, there are apps for...everything, but I still haven't found a good app who can even do a piece of what "ultimate call recorder" use to do in my old symbian s60 phone. At the end of the day, I'm using a phone...not a guitar, a game console or a music player. So I want it to do its job as a phone of this age and record my calls like the 2006 nokia N70 still does. It's amazing how a device like this can run debian & things like that, but what i really need for my job is a good call recorder
I'm pretty new to android and there's a lot of confusing info about this topic, I've tested a few free apps and a few trial apps and no luck until now, so thanks in advance.
Bump!
I am in the same situation mate. Have an xperia mini pro (sk17i) with rooted ICS, no custom rom or kernel. Except I don't have an N70
I've been using "Call Recorder by Clever Mobile" for about a week but it's a piece of crap (both in recording quality and in features).
I finally got fed up with it and spend am hour just now looking for alternatives once more.
All I found was this thread, and some app which doesn't work in ICS...
So, is there anyone with a (fairly low end) Xperia phone (perhaps from the 2011 range) who can recommend us a call recorder?
I'm using CallRecorder on GB. Don't know if it works on ICS. Try it!

they removed call recording feature in ICS.
I had a lot of apps that did that in ginger bread when i updated it to ICS none of them worked.
The only work around is rooting your phone and installing cutom kernel that brings this feature back to ICS.

I heard something about that. But then how come Call Recorder by Clever Mobile works in ICS? I mean the audio is a bit muffled and clipped, and overly compressed, but it records both parties just as well.
Regardless, can you give a little bit more details on this? What kind of kernel? What keywords shall I search for?
