Do you have a screen protector on your tablet, and if so, is the noise loud in spite of it? I just recently put the armor shield screen protector on my tablet and it has cut the noise WAY down. Works great, but I haven't tried to do any recording.
yes i also have this armor shield, which is really great, but the noise of the microphone is just annyoing :/
i was at my local AV Store and they showed me some products but most of them are very big (but should do a great job) or too expensive (>200€...)
Did you end up getting a microphone?

nope still not... the good ones are too expensive for me, and the cheaper ones are to big to carry around all the time.
The guy in the AV Store told me, that it would be the best to buy a cheap voice recorder, there are some which have already USB and can be used as USB Stick, so i just can plug it into the tablet and sync the mp3 files there... price is about 40-100€ and it has a great sound quality for that price.
so if you need it for recording lectures and stuff you may be good with that!
also an idea the guy in the store gave me was USB Microphone. There is the Samson Go Mic, which should have a really great quality and you can use it via USB.
I tried with an USB Audio Card on the tablet and i could use it with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sobe.usbaudio but with so much delay that it wasnt that good.. maybe it works on CM10? didnt tested it... USB Audio support should be in jelly bean...
If you want to record lecturerecordings in combination with lecturenotes. I haven't tried it out yet but it's supposed to sync your handwritten notes with the recording.
Lecturenotes itself is pretty awesome.

yes as i saw kind of that.. you can replay the notebook with the recording and see the site where you have written at the same time...
because of the very bad sound quality (and the noise of the pencil) i didnt tried it once more...

Which are the best earphones with built-in microphone for the blackstone?? Those who come with the Blackstone aren't that good...
sorry wrong forum please move this into accessories
Done.
I recommend the Moto s9s (bluetooth); worth every penny i paid for them.
Yes, Motorola SD9-HD has my vote. Comfort, sound volume are first rate. Battery life and Bluetooth range are also excellent. I was amazed at how close the sound comes to my $500 Shure SE530's (well, almost, since the Shure's are in a league of their own!). The bass response was a wonderful surprise. I was also very surprised by how nice Window Media Player on the Touch HD sounded and how well A2DP works between the two. A+ rating from me!
thanks for the answers but I was referring to regular wired-earphones...any suggestions about them?

I think the best solution is to go to your local electronics store and buy a headset adapter w/built-in mic for the iphone, they work on the HD and allow you to answer calls. You can plug in any headphones that you like and use them in your laptop or music player as well.

Those sure look nice!
I'm no sound guru but do know that even tho the frequency range is wider than the skullcandy, that will only be noticeable with certain types of music. And the impedance will definitely play a part as well. Not sure whether the difference in the size of the speaker itself will be all that noticeable on such minute vessels but it might. If you really want to know you could post on an audio forum I suppose. I suspect the largest difference noticeable would be the in-\out ear types and everything else would be minor in comparison.

ultimate ears triple.fi 10vi...superb for music listening and very good when used as a wired headset w/mic for phone conversations. only downside: expensive!

I couldnt say they are the best as I haven't tried everything out there, but I have given some pointers on what to look for and what's important in most cases.
Subjectively speaking, the SkullCandy iPhone issue is supreme, but I'm sure there are more expensive ones out there

Will this adaptor work for voice dial? I use Microsoft voice control so need voice dial. I tried a pair of Ultimate Ears with mike for the iPhone but you could not use voice dial...
I am looking at standard headphones if I can get an adaptor with mike that works. I have got it down to 4 in the price range I can afford.

Hi kjt57,
I'm in the same boat... does your MSVC work with the standard HTC headset? I had to tweak the registry to make it work. Now it needs a long press on the HTC headsetbutton to kick in. I thought that it should work with every 3,5mm headset. Can you please crosscheck with the original HTC?
I'd like to use the Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 200v or the Shure SE210 with MPA-3C adapter, but MSVC is a must. I couldn't find a local dealer who has this earphones for testing.
Cheers

HI,
I want to see if the problem is only with me. Right now I'm really disappointed from Samsung. here shows comparison of camera quality:
iphone 4:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKm-7rzfS2g&feature=player_embedded#at=124
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGAteITuZVo&feature=player_embedded#at=59
s2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TFm93qvGnU&feature=player_embedded#at=65
Quality absolutely awful compared to the iPhone 4, there are quite strong background noise (Even I was recording in a completely quiet room I can hear background noise)...
* I will note that the Hacked Camera.APK mod of Potatoman still did not help
Is my cell phone is broken or simply Samsung had blown it???
it seems that you were standing right infont of the left loud speaker, were with the iphone it seams the guy way in the middle. so it wont get so much distortion.
I have the same problem with my S2 when the outside audio level is high.
NIK516
i far from the speakers , the iphone 4 is closer to the speakers
and you can hear the different.
and i have more video that you can hear that iPhone better if you wants..
i try to fix the S2 problem mic record not to compare.
thanks
Are you certain you installed the Camera.apk correctly? 6 seconds should equal roughly 12Mb (stock is about 9). If anything this is either the modded camera (When I used it the audio was very shrill, much like the video you recorded. This is due to the larger sampling and bit rates.), Samsung screwed up (maybe this is just how the mic records), OR you were standing in a poor location (the two video weren't recorded in the same place from the look of it).
I think that being close to a speaker should not be a problem if the auto-volume adjustment worked properly. What we are trying to understand here is if this is just a problem with our devices or a general issue. Is there anybody who can confirm that videorecording live music performances with the S2 does NOT produce distorted audio?

Same problem! I would love to see a fix for that. Even a little bit of wind will screw up the sounds completely. I'm also looking for an external mic now....
It looks like you can't use an external mic either...

I just did a test with 2 different earbuds w/mic. the Camera app doesn't seem to use the external microphone when recording video, it just uses the internal mic. When I used the voice recorder app it does indeed use the external mic and makes a huge difference.

I have the same problem (record in a quite room with no noise, then when i play it back there's a hiss)
I've checked Youtube and there's only 1 video demonstrates this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pePAqjgugHM
Now is this a fault with the phone or can I fix it? Just wanted to ask before I send it back to Samsung.
The white noise (hissing sound) comes from a plastic piece inside the phone that is over the microphone. Removing it removes the white noise. You cannot do this without voiding the warranty, so bringing it down to the service center would be a good idea.
The plastic piece over the mic is like cupping your ears with your hands. HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Now that I am on Android 2.3.4, recording video using an external microphone works. I used your headphone mic and I got rid of the distortion. Has anyone tried the Brando Mini Capsule Microphone (or any other mini microphone) on their SII?
Hey guys
Got my Z2, and loving it 85% of the time, still a few kinks id like ironed out, but hey ho! Anyway one of the biggest things I think will be an issue is the microiphone. Doesn't seem a great recording source for anything loud or bass heavy.
I have seen the STM10 that you can get and its an intriguing bit of kit! Anyone got any reviews or experience with one? Its mostly going to be used for videos of music at festivals etc and would love to know if it is up to the job.
The other thing is it seems quite cumbersome, and wondered if anyone has any alternatives? It wouldn't be ideal to have with me at a music festival really (damage and or loss after a few ciders!) so is there a smaller one thats as good that anyone knows of?
Any info would be great

Hey mate, I'm chasing an external microphone for my Z2 too. I've enquired with Sony on FB and they said they'd get back to me soon so fingers crossed. In the meantime the Edutige EIM-004 looks very promising as it has a much better response to loud noises than their EIM-001. There's some Youtube videos of it in action at concerts and the difference is HUGE.
Here's the link if you're interested http://www.edutige.net/shop/eim-004/
I'll keep you posted if I hear anything about the STM10 too!

If you have the noise cancelling headphones you can use them as a microphone. Just change settings to microphone in smart connect.

Internal
Headphone's stereo mic
well yeah xD too loud is too loud! even headphones stereo mic can't help you there.
p.s how much would a STM10 cost ?
Just a Tipp....
Did you guys try the stereo recording feature? You need to connect the nc-headset, so the phone uses the build in mics in the earbuds. Its a big difference in comparison to internal mic.
But the iblazr one has a built-in battery, the 3.5 mm connector is use only for data transfer, probable reason is that they wanted to be cross compatible with ios and android. So with a built-in battery, I think Sony could very easily pull-off a xenon flash accessory that plugs in to either the usb or 3.5 mm port.

Cider, lol.
So how many people have the stm10 mic? I'm really keen on buying it this weekend its just a matter of seeing what people actually think. I've seen some reviews but I'm not 100% on it yet
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
I own the STM 10. The quality of recorded audio is way better
I have STM10 and used it once. I can't judge the quality as I found that the sound is more or less the same (internal mic quality is good).
I want to connect an ordinary 3.5mm external microphone to Z2, but couldn't achieve that yet. This CTIA jack is really interesting, and has 5 pins.
Any advices how to do this?
I also have the STM10 and can confirm that it is very good at recording sound. Particularly in loud environments. I was at a gabba techno night this weekend and recorded some video with the microphone attached and I was very impressed. I will post the video to give you an idea later on this evening. For the money (around £30) it is well worth purchasing and looks pretty sweet when attached as well.
Hello everybody !
As i promised, here it is a video of Beyonce and Jay-Z concert at Stade de France that i record in UHD with STM10 with my Xperia Z2.
I confirm that the quality of the mic is just great !!! I'm really happy that i bought this mic before this concert
Enjoy !

I have tested my s6 mic with a 2x 300 watt rms with 15 inch drivers pa system and I must say that the mic's are realy sensitive and good for normal video's but it has a negativ effect on gigs and clips easily on high db. Here is a test video I made and if you can't see the video just say it and I fix that but normally it shuld work: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0Kc_erpRrfKR0ZldlBfMTNJWlE/edit?usp=docslist_api
Can you guys do a favor for me? Could you test your secondary microphone on the top side of the phone? Mine doesn't work at all when I tried to register sound with it by blocking the bottom side main microphone. The signal if very very weak...
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for posting this!
I have a nokia 808 that has the nokia microphone technology that will take up to 140db without clipping. Unfortunately it's a symbian phone so time for a new one since no one is building apps for symbian these days. I wondered if the S6 mic clipped and now I know that it does sadly. I couldn't get anyone to confirm this, but your post did, so thanks!
BTW, have you tried to record audio only using any of the apps that let you control microphone gain?
Hi guys and girls.

I hope this will be helpful. What phone were you using? for recording? Look, in my opinion, the sound quality of the X's mic IS AMAZING. I don't know if it's because I had a bad phone previously, but I will give you some examples.
+Can record from big distance
+Can record when very noisy and won't be distorted
+Can record voice/voices talking even from a fair distance VERY clear (sounds like real life)
+I tried recording my mechanical keyboard, the sound I got beats most videos I have found on the internet (was more realistic and clear)

Hi there,
I was previously using a Samsung Galaxy S5.
But yeah, took your advise, and bought the phone. On superior quality, it's absolutely superb even when files sizes are 500mb+ for 40-50 minutes.
