Does the S2 have a stereo mic, and does anyone know how well it handles loud music when video recording.
I currently have the HD2 and have always been impressed with how the mic handles very loud music, no distortion, and good bass on playback through av amp. I have no idea if the HD2 mic is stereo though.
According the Phonearena review it does (not final hardware mind you).

There was one review (can't remember it though sorry, so I can not link you to it) that clearly said the Mic sensitivity on the SGSII was much improved over the SGS.
Recording at concerts or parties was greatly improved in the sound recorded.
Any update on this? Anyone with an SGS2 who can shed some light on the sound during video recording? How well does it really handle loud environments?
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:

s2:

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 here as well...
same problem, please help
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?
Hi people, I have got a problem and will be thankful if you help me. The phone speaker works fine but I can hear a little crackle noise when the volume is high in high frequency sounds. For example it can be heard when the mother nature ringtone is playing in high volume. It sounds like a resonance in the speaker. In some reviews there have been arguments about the speaker quality of s3, wanna know if it happens to you too. Thanks
Any help?plz
Bit of an odd one. My EVO 3D UK model stock ROM is not playing sound though the built in speaker. All is well if I plug in headphones and I can hear in call sound through the built in speaker just not other stuff like the phone ring or media playback Music Video and Games....
Any ideas?
Now sorted see post 3
Music, videos, games, and I think the ringtone all use the larger speaker built into the back of the phone. Your in-call audio would be coming from a different speaker. Have you tried taking a phone call and putting it on speakerphone to see if you can hear it? Your rear speaker probably went out.

You're quite correct, I hadn't noticed that. Tanks for pointing that out. Sure enough in a call I put it on speaker and it all went silent.
I've just had a play and taken the cover off the rear. A quick poke and rub of the speaker/cover on the rear and sound is again working. It must be a poor contact or similar in that area. I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Is it just me or is the Samsung Galaxy S9+ speaker easily distorted when in maximum volume akin to a busted speaker. Music will be grainy evidently enough when playing the 'Over the Horizon ringtone' in maximum volume.
I sometimes get distorted sound when unlocking the phone. i.e. the unlocking sound sometimes (rarely) sounds distorted.

Same here. Hopefully they can fine tune it in an update?
