To be honest with you the answer is obvious once you apply a little logic and use a few brain cells.
Sound, or the human ability to hear sound, differs greatly from human to human. Whilst person A night prefer their music to be bass heavy, person B might find that lots of bass induces headaches and so would prefer more of the mids and highs to be heard.
Also some ears can perceive tiny differences in sound that another person could not, for example, a trained musician or an audio producer due to the very nature of what they do will develop this ability to perceive what another person cannot.
That was the knowledge/brain cell part, here comes the logic.
Because people's ears are more or less sensitive to sound than others and because people enjoy hearing different things in music, it is completely useless for another to tell you how good or bad a certain sound mod is compared to another.
Secondly because some people can perceive differences that others cannot, it is also useless to ask others if there are differences in sound mods, they might say yes because they can here the tiny differences but you might not.
This is therefore a very subjective matter that only you can solve for what sounds best to you.
To which end I suggest you stop whining about nobody responding to your questions, flash the mods and see for yourself which is better and what the differences are.

Possible fix 4 Mic design flaw?

Yeah where the hell do I complain? HTC.com? This is so unacceptable. Why did I buy hp's w/ a Mic if no one can hear me?n don't get me started on the phone not supporting sufficiently loud vol. Levels 4 high resistance( higher end headphones-above 16 ohms generally) or the placement of the charging input or the phone not recognizing all media tags for media files it does play... orrr the back button flaw in the stock media player...n of coarse the abysmal battery life... I returned my iPhone4 for this? So far as far as a media player the iPhone is superior - tho I still wouldn't trade it - please HTC ...fix this mess!!
[I still love this this phone- but extremely frustrated]

Ok, there are like 50 threads with this same complaint. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON! Stop making useless threads that have this crap covered already! Stop. Hit "Search," if you need help locating that, it is at the top of the page next to where it says "Device by OS or Manufacturer." Ok, now type in that box "microphone" or hell, even "mic issue" and read the results. Read again. Reread. Then stop and think if a new thread is needed.
Oh, also, feel free to go back to iOS. No one is holding a gun to your head. And as a side note, this phone isn't even a month old yet. There will be a fix at some point. Unfortunately, some people, like me, don't hold it that high up on the list of issues.
thnks i feel sufficiently stupid n inferior but i will try to be more resourceful i appreciate ur patience n tolerance w/ my "newbie" ignorance
well i asked about the fix cuz i didn't know if it was the type off design faw that could be fixed remotely but i just took those suggestions and was helped immensley, tho it took some time cuz my PC's so slow now-now i just need help locating all my redundent posts in one place so i'll wait 4 ur reply...but seriousely, to all the tolerant people; sorry but ill get the hang of it soon.

[Q] Recording calls

So I think I've done enough research to have an idea of why recording the incoming voice stream is so damn elusive and difficult. Basically, it seems that it's an access issue between the baseband processor and the application processor.
So here's my question/idea: Doesn't the app processor have some level of access to the incoming voice stream by virtue of the fact that the stream can be sent to the headset jack, speaker, or even a bluetooth device at will? If the stream cannot be intercepted when going to the standard ear piece, can it perhaps be intercepted via whatever mechanism is diverting the stream to the various types of output?
For example, maybe we could develop a virtual bluetooth device. Similar to a virtual DVD drive in widows. There's no real physical drive, but the driver makes windows think there is and it can be used to mount ISOs... Well, same concept - make a virtual bluetooth device that android thinks is a physical device, and use whatever existing mechanisms to divert the audio stream to the virtual device. Then of course, the back-end for the virtual bluetooth could simply send the sound back to the handset whilst recording the audio stream.
I'm still an Android dev n00b, so coding this would take me quite some time. But what do you veterans think? Does this sound plausable/impossible/stupid? Maybe someone's thought of this and it didn't work out for whatever reason?
Thanks
Im not a dev by any means but I wish you luck I would love to have call recording on the Atrix. I can have it on the Cap ONLY on I9000 ROMs, had something to do with one of the eurasian Galaxy S models shipping with a call recording feature baked in to the "Dialer" app and the devs ported that dialer to I9000. Afaik it wont work w CM7 so I cant use it even tho I still have the flashable zip on my sd. Maybe if you change your post title to say you are wanting to dev for call recording you would get more of a response, I know this is the dev forum but as many wrong posts that have been here lately you might get overlooked..
Just remember the laws and regulations if you do indeed succeed. In the US, it is illegal to record a call without notifying the party involved with the call.

You're somewhat correct here. The actual answer here is that it is illegal in some states to record any interaction between two people without notification and acceptance by both parties. Some states it's a simple notification, some states it's illegal period, some states it doesn't matter. It's all by the state.
yup very true, every state has different rulings on the laws of call recording. Mostly big states you must notify the other party saying this call is being recorded blah blah blah... I live in CA so everytime I get a telemarketers call I always hear that BS
why on development?.

There is already a long thread on this same subject in which I layed out the actual law as it pertains to states and the federal law about recording calls.
Please refrain from posting what is 100% wrong, especially when it relates to legalities. You misinform people who could actually be seeking legal advice.
Read the following and educate yourself from there!
http://www.callcorder.com/phone-recording-law-america.htm
I would ask that the moderators shut down threads where legal arguments arise, as there is so much misinformation from ignorant parties in these threads, that it could cause XDA more problems than they bargain for.
more so threads that are retreads of existing threads that aren't even that old.
No more legal talk!!
Sigh... Why on earth can't we talk about this subject without it turning into a legal discussion??
I don't give a rat's a** about the law here. No, I don't intend to break it, but that's 100% irrelevant. I'm not a lawyer trying to solve a legal problem, I'm an engineer and budding mobile dev hobbyist trying to solve a TECHNICAL problem.
Please, don't thwart an otherwise good and edifying technical discussion with fruitless arguing about legal BS. If I were interested in what the law says, I would not be posting to XDA. Come on, guys! Let's talk baseband processors, hacks, kernel mode drivers, <insert more tech jargon here>...
Maybe this is why no one can get anywhere with this. It always somehow transforms from "solve technical problem" (which is what we're good at, and actually qualified to do) to "get into a legal/philosophical debate". I don't know about you all, but I didn't go to law school; I went to a technical school and got a EE. And last time I checked the xda-developers.com home page, it said that XDA is:
"...the largest Internet community of lawyers/law students who like to discuss legal issues as they pertain to mobile devices."
Oops, no wait. My bad. It actually says:
"...the largest Internet community of smartphone/tablet enthusiasts and developers for the Android and Windows Phone platforms."
Can we please try to focus here? I didn't come here to pick a fight. Let's put our heads together and solve a technical problem.

[Q] Plausibility of hearing mic input + music through headphone output

I hope the title mostly explains my question: I would like to know devs opinions about how "do-able" it would be to create a sound driver/app that would allow a user to hear the microphone input mixed with other audio when earbuds or headphones are connected to the device. I'm guessing that this would not be difficult. I am an electrical engineer with programming experience (only written one android program via tutorial, though), and I am thinking about trying this. I thought I'd start by bouncing this idea off you experienced devs.
Need for app (further explanation): My girlfriend is partially deaf-- she wears hearing aids to help her hear the outside world. When she listens to music or makes phone calls with her phone, she likes to use her earbuds -- lots of us do -- and like lots of us, she can't hear the outside world with earbuds in her ears -- in her case, she can't hear the outside world at all. I was thinking that if the android device could just forward an audio stream from the mic input to the headphone output, controlled by an on-off/sensitivity option, this would not only become a very sophisticated hearing aid replacement to devices that the deaf community has to pay thousands of dollars for, but it would also be useful to all of us who need to better hear the outside world at times when listening to music or talking on the phone with our earbuds in.
Like I said, it seems like a simple app or sound driver extension that could work with any audio output stream. I would get into the android api and start working on this unless there were specific reasons why this is not plausible. So here I am, bouncing the idea off you experienced devs.
What do ya think? Top-level approach, how could this be done? Does android limit this type of functionality?

I'm not a professional dev.
But I heard android can't process the mic input at realtime.
I think this is similar case with noise canceling.
Noise canceling needs real time mic input processing but android's API doesn't support it.
I don't want to say this...but iOS is way forward than android about this area.
(It actually supports sound processing at almost real time.
If you want to find example, search for amplitube or imic for iOS.)

Thanks AndroidON for your reply. My girlfriend currently uses an iPhone, and already I have found http://scientificaesthetic.com/2010/09/22/reviewing-awareness-for-the-iphone/ which is exactly what I hoped to find/develop in the android platform. So while this is awesome for her, I may never get her on to android now!!! heh heh Seriously though thanks for sending me on the iphone search, because that's just what she needed.
(Boooooo Android!)
Can anybody else confirm or deny that this is not possible on the android platform? I don't need processing, just signal forwarding with attenuation ...which may mean processing if converting from A/D then convert from D/A again... I was hoping hardware would allow the signal to stay in analog, to avoid the need for realtime digital processing. This is somewhat technical and I hope to hear from developers, and I would like to begin developing it if it's possible, which is why I originally posted in the dev section.
bumping this thread
Thanks for considering my question!!
Anybody know if this is possible with the android api?
Interesting question and a good idea for an app!
Well, it is definitely possible with java but there would be some delay due to a minimum buffer.
Look here (sorry, can't post links): stackoverflow.com/questions/5379063/audiorecord-and-audiotrack-latency
They say that probably it is possible to work around this problem with some C code
Hmmmm.... interesting! Thanks for that!
Yeah a little bit of delay would not be a bad thing in this case. The iPhone equivalent of this idea is Awareness! and it has delays of 1 to 2 tenths of a second.
No problem!
Well, maybe delay is ok for this
Re-Bump
Hi,
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I really am interested in an app like this.
Has anyone done anything about this ?
Thanks,

HTC Flyer and Beats Audio Add-on Development

I made a thread about this question in the apps & themes section but I seriously think this is a Development question:
It's possible to add the "beats audio" function to our flyer's as did with almost all of other HTC phones?
I,as a little experienced user, think it would not be so hard for the ability of the devs in this community....and you devs what do you think??
This is a link to the beats audio package from the EVO 3D forum:

However I think they generally like these sorts of questeions in the Q&A subforum, not the Android development subforum.

You have posted this in several areas and already been given answers by the best developers here, but you persist and appear to be obsessed with this.
It's not built-in to the Flyer or View and not easy to add without a lot of custom work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21647314&postcount=893
In my opinion Beats Audio is a overblown marketing ploy that accomplishes little on the audio side and serves no purpose other than to put lots of $$ in the pocket if Dre and HTC. (HTC actually got burned to the tune of $300 million on this, and is now holding a bag of smelly stuff since Monster walked away).
Obviously Monster realized this and divorced themselves from the product line.
There is only so much enhancement you can add to audio and free apps like DPS Manager give you 98% of what you might be able to do with Beats with a simple download.

+1 to this.
Beats is just bass boost with a bit of compression. We had this on Walkmen and boomboxes back in the 80s, remember? The real insult to anyone with actual listening taste, is to imply that all music automatically sounds "better" regardless of genre of music, output equipment (speakers or headphones), or personal taste, simply by applying a "one-size-fits-all" equalizer setting. You get much better results from DSP Manager or Volume+, and being able to tailor the EQ settings to your individual liking.
I have the Beats feature on my Desire Z, and it sounds awful (muddled with too much bass).
I know this is a bit of a departure from the original discussion of HOW to get Beats on the Flyer. So my apologies there. It just makes my eyes roll whenever I read or hear the term "Beats".

You will not get the Beats app to run on the flyer because HTC has not and most likely will not release the driver source code ... They do like to sell new phones
Here is a quote from their Development site.
“Why hasn’t HTC released the source code for some drivers?
HTC will release source code in accordance with any applicable open source license terms, i.e. GPL v2.0. Other source codes, which are not required to be disclosed by the open source license terms, unfortunately cannot be disclosed by HTC as they may be proprietary to HTC or its licensor.”
There is a kernel floating around for a certain phone (I have it on mine) that implements the Beats audio.
However, because of the code used to build that kernel … it cannot be discussed in this forum as it is against XDA rules.
It would be best if developers did not use protected code and discuss it here.
With that being said I have found I can get a much better result using any of available audio players with built in equalizers.

There are no "best settings". It depends on whether you are talking about the internal speakers (which really aren't going to sound great no matter what), headphones or external speakers, what headphones or speakers you are using, what type of music, and most importantly your personal listening preference.
For instance, I tend to like turning up the higher frequencies more than most people. I like to highlight the twang of the acoustic guitar strings and the sparkle of the singer's voice. Many people like to boost the bass. While I like a "solid" bass sound, my belief is that boosting it too much just muddies up the overall sound. A lot of it is just personal taste.
In general, dropping the mid range, while keeping the high and low frequencies at zero or boosting sounds good to most people in many situations. So you can try by starting with that, and vary the amount of boost or cut to your liking. SRS can provide better sound in some situations (especially cheaper headphones). But like Beats, its heavy on bass, and it can be too much sometimes. For instance, my car stereo is already heavy on bass, so adding SRS sounds bad.

Recording Video

Dummy question.
I just recorded some video on my DNA.
Nice video! No audio!
Does that mean that I had accidentally turned down the volume rocker before recording and therefore no sound was recorded.
Or is the audio really there but I don't know how to access it?
I know.....but hey!
There are no dumb questions, right?
Dan:crying:
There is something I have been curious about relative to this site.
When a simple question is asked by a non expert like myself: the chance that it will be answered is slim at best.
1. The question is so basic and asinine that 99% of the members here dismiss it as to not want to be associated with it.
2. Those who read one of these basic queries really don't know the answer and don't want to offer a suggestion so as not to be thought "foolish" to the forum.
3. I am leaning toward number one.
To update:
The volume on my DNA is not muted and was instead ticked to full on.
The setting in the video recoring software is set to "record at stereo". It was not set to off.
I reshot another video today and for some very simple basic reason when I play the video back there is no audio.
If someone knows (and is not afraid to publicly admit) what I am doing wrong.....I would be very grateful.
It is true that the answer to this will be very embarrassing to me ....but so what.
Anyone care to help a total newbie?

I have't seen this issue before, so probably others are the same.
Usually if I don't know the answer to an issue, I don't reply. Which I think most do.
Otherwise the thread would be nothing more than a bunch of "I don't know" replies.
I would suggest to try an audio recording app to see if your mic works there. If it does, then it has something to do with your camera/rom.
If it doesn't work, then it could be your rom or a hardware issue.

I very much appreciate your quick response.
However, it did take a rather sarcastic and unfriendly reply from myself before someone (you) stepped up and offered some much needed advice.
I will say (as above) that this site for any new smartphone users who accidentally stumble upon it: this is basically a developer web site and is not meant to be inviting to those of us who are not at a very senior level of smartphone design and software development.
I was trying to sneak in here under the cloak of darkness ( the Devs might even smile on that turn of a phrase).
However that never works.
That is like knowing a little French and then going to a French restaurant and pretending that you really speak French.
In two minutes they will make you look like the fool you are. And you will be out in the street.
There are other web sites for inexperienced users of smartphone technology to search out where their newness will be more welcomed.

You only had 85 views of this thread (as told by tapatalk) I bet dollars to donuts that 90% of those views were from people like me. And the remaining 10% is possibly from search engines from their daily bot to log for searches.
I just got off work, but check unread threads while at work when I have a quick minute. I can't go through all that troubleshooting while at work.
Now to the subject of OP:
What ROM are you running? Is it stock? Is it stock rooted or a custom ROM? All these are steps to find out why this happened. It could have been a bad flash, it could be a rogue app hogging the mic driver and camcorder couldn't access it. There is quite a few things it could be and you gave us nothing to work with.

I very much appreciate your quick response.
However, it did take a rather sarcastic and unfriendly reply from myself before someone (you) stepped up and offered some much needed advice.

Well. You won't be getting my two cents as I didn't see this thread until now due to being busy at the studio.
Go **** yourself.
The DNA's mic sucks for recording audio. In the past when i've recorded videos the audio is almost not even there it's so quiet. It's a shame that this phone (some, not all) have mad mics.
Faulty hardware. Replace device.
Also, being a **** after not getting your question answered fast enough isn't going to get your question answered usually.
