Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:

Hi, I seem to be having a problem with my phone and I can't seem to resolve it. Back speaker works perfectly while playing music, playing game and watching youtube videos. Also works fine when I set a ringtone and it plays a sample. But when I receive a call instead of the back speaker ringing it is the front one that ring, yes the earpiece. I was wondering if anyone has an idea how to fix this?
I'm currently using a default android ringtone.
Using the stock JK6 Rom with the JL1 Baseband and the Stock JK6 Kernel injected with Voodoo 5.X
I can't say for sure which of these flashing caused the problem since I flashed them all one after another unable to test and detect such problem.
Thanks.
Resolved! It's a behavior of the WiFi Calling App, guess I'll have to install another one.
Today I wanted to use skype (the newest version) on my flyer with videochat, I recently upgraded my flyer (BB version) to honeycomb and didnt use skype since then.
Well i know that skype was working completely on Gingerbread, but when i tried videochat today, the camera lighted up (the small green led besides it) and voice and everything worked, however i was not able to get a picture of my camera.
Does anybody have skype working with the flyer and the release version of honeycomb?
Or does anyone know whats causing the problem?
Best regards
Marius

I have the BB Wifi Flyer and Skype works perfectly including both cameras, for me on HC offical release, rooted.
What version HC are you using?
The standard stock release version that globatron posted in his thread. So its the official HTC release with root.
Ill try wiping the skype data and see if it works then. Its really weird, can't use either of the cameras it just gives me a black screen nothing else
Ok I got it fixed, I just wiped the data reinstalled skype and now it works ... weird.
Has anybody managed to get Skype to work with a bluetooth headset and mic?
I can pair and use my BT headset for listening to media files and can make a Skype test call but the audio bounces back to the speakers after the first word..?
Skype has some weirdness with Bluetooth on many devices and since the phone functions for Flyers are not yet working in HC, the Bluetooth profiles may not be fully functional as well.

I've found another problem with Skype on the Flyer.
Audio during a call is only mono.
This is true for both a wired headset and the speakers....
Any ideas?

The Audio from the other called? Isn't it coming through a single mic? How could it be stereo?

What I should have said was that audio only comes thru on one channel. The left side only when using the speakers, earphones or a headset w/Mic.
When I use Skype on my android phone it comes through on both channels, same with the pc too.
The audio routing and libraries are a god awful mess in linux and therefore android. Who knows if its a Skype problem or a htc or a HC problem. At least it works, even this is a miracle in Android audio
I think it must be an HTC problem. I called tech support and they gave the standard answer that it might be resolved in a future update...
i have a lag on my front camera anyone else experience this with the hc upgrade? i tried wiping skype and reinstalling but its not helping...any fix for this??
I am experiencing the same lag on my View (running stock HC). The lag appears on both front and back cameras. I've tested the front cam video with Google Video Chat and it works much better.
Can someone else please let us know how SKype video is working on their View/Flyer, on official HC, GB or other ROM?
Thanks
I use stock GB and all appears to be fine - other than the sound only coming through on one channel (left side).
Are any of you guys getting sound on left and right channels during a call?
Stock HC , rooted, it just works. Just installed and both front and back cameras work fine.
Hi everyone, I have a galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) upgraded to android 4.0.3, and whenever I enable the 5.1 surround sound in the native music player, the song I'm listening to becomes distorted; it slows down and sounds weird.
I think it did work once, but since then its never worked with any mp3 file, regardless of size. I haven't tested it on other formats, because I mainly use mp3 for music etc.
I've googled like mad to try and find an answer as to why this happens.....but I can't find a solution.
Equaliser and sound effects are all set to normal, but it still sounds really distorted when 5.1 is enabled. Without 5.1 it sounds great (I did the Beats Audio hack a few days ago).
Oh and I've tried several different headphones to no avail...
Any ideas why this happens? And how I could fix it?
Same here!
Hello,
Before the ICS upgrade my 5.1 music was as pleasant as it could get. I tried using this effect in my car last weekend and yes, it is very distorted. Did you manage to fix it?

update
Did you try to contact the Samsung service desk?
you need to get back to the service centre I guess. I had the same issue when it was updated via kies. Samsung reloaded the OS for me and its good to go now , except for heating issues which I threw away their stock kernel and went for speedmod

It works and it works like magic!
Ha ha......yeah. I switched off the phone and removed the batter to check the serial number so that I can register it for servicing.
Later, switched on the phone and it just works fine!
Chaps, try this and let me know if it helps.

There is some issue with ICS 4.0.3 for india update i guess, u need to restart the phone to get off with the error. Once restarted 5.1 effect works fine.
I just want to know if it could be some hardware fault.
currently on AOSP 5.1.1 there is no volume at all, can't play music from music app or youtube or anywhere else, the problem started off with no volume when people try to call me (yes the ringer was on full volume and sound), after a few days the volume started to not work on facebook videos and youtube and other stuff, the phone speaker works so when i notice that someone does call me (vibrate works but don't really notice most calls) the speaker works i can hear the other person (mics not broken), loud speaker doesn't work, is the actual speaker broken? how do i go about a replacement if so, have looked a lot around the web and cannot find parts other than screen and digitizer. I have tried flashing the firmware with twrp and sp flashtool, formatting everything and tried different versions of firmwares and still the same not fixed, also tried custom roms... any suggestions?
I have flashed my phone to stock Android 5.1 as this is the only stable version and all is working well apart from the microphone. When I receive a call the ringtone occurs and i can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I also tested the mic on google but nothing happened.
However, I downloaded TestYourAndroid from Play store and the mic works so I know it's got to be a firmware issue.
Also I can record voice by recording app
If you can help me I would be most grateful.
Note. this is android 5.1 lollipop so it doesn't have full permissions mode, I can access permissions for downloaded app but not for system app such as "phone" is.
Hey everyone,
So this issue has been ongoing for a while and it's a pretty confusing one. (Running OG Pixel from Canada, originally from Telus)
My speakers and microphone suddenly stopped working when I upgraded to Android 9. I thought it could have been a hardware failure, but after much testing it's clearly software related.
I bought a Bluetooth headset, audio works when it's rooted to a Bluetooth device, but the microphone still doesn't work.
When I go into settings, and adjust the volume for the ringer and the alarm, my speakers work.
When I boot into safe mode, my microphone works for one recording, then stops working. However my speakers don't work in safe mode.
I have flashed an OTA recovery, done a factory reset and also uninstalled updates to the phone, sms and camera app in a hopes it was an issue with one of those.
Any ideas of what it could be?
Do I need to install TWRP and reflash a custom rom?
