[Q] Skype Voice Calling on 4.4+ - HTC Droid DNA

I use voice chat on Skype a lot, but I also love the speed from 4.4.1 + crpalmer's kernel + bionic libs, however, there's one thing that's keeping me away from that speed, and that's voice chatting being broken on 4.4..Does anyone know a fix for this or know what kind of problem it is? Is it a 4.4 ROM problem or a kernel problem? Whether stock kernel or crpalmers, whenever I initiate a Skype call, it literally kills my ears, it makes this extremely loud screeching and static-y noise that never goes away unless I restart my phone...Anyone know what's up with this?

Have you tried last night's CM 11.0 nightly build? I specifically posted in that thread (which is where you should be looking to see if there is anything new) that I had pushed changes that *might* fix Skype problems and asking for feedback and yet I received 0 feedback.

Oh alright, I'll try it out right now, I'm booting into recovery, I'll get back to you with results in about 5 minutes.

Sorry for double post, I just wanted to make sure you saw it, but, Skype calling still makes that horrific static noise as before, thanks for trying to help anyway though.

What version did you install? (Specifically)
Are you using your phone as a phone, speaker phone, headset, bluetooth?

I'm using my headphones to test the Skype call audio, and I'm testing 20131211. I'll try speaker phone audio right now.
EDIT: I don't even hear anything when Skype calling through phone speaker, no call tone or anything.

That sounds like the behaviour prior to the changes I pushed. I just double checked an a wired headset is working fine for me.

Skype mic input audio distorted on Atrix

Noticed the skype app runs ok, but doesn't like the microphone input, sounds overdriven and noisy, unusable. I have all EQ and noise reduction setting off.
This was in a quiet environment.
Hope its just a minor tweak needed, the test call receive audio was excellent.
I observed this too.
Mine too. Hope someone reports this so they will fix it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Thanks for the confirmations.
Skype Devs... help!
Skype is unusable for me as well due to this.
Skype is absolutely not usable for me. Other party only hears noise and nothing else. Waiting for a fix ASAP coz this is one of the main features I been looking for.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix Skype on the atrix? This is a pretty major screw up on their part...
Has anyone tried Skype with the second microphone disabled?
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support and their answer is that they don't support Skype and suggested using Qik instead. Doesn't seem like they plan on making any fixes for it as of now.

And how can we do that?
In settings / call settings / noise suppression.

Does not help.
In fact ALL VOIP apps i tried simply do not work.
Motorola really messed this up. i tried cSipsimple, spidroid, fring, tango, Skype, line2....nothing works like it should.
Has anyone tried using a microphone through the headphone jack? This way we can find out where the error is.
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:
"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?
Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.
Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix
I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?
any time frame of this update?

It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.
Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.

i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.
is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.
Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

[Q] Call Recording?

Disclaimer: I am well aware of all the legal issues of recording telephone calls.
Has anyone been able to record telephone calls with their AT&T Galaxy Note? There were some modified audio .so files available for the international version that enabled this functionality, but when I pushed them to my AT&T Note, the phone would not boot
I also tried a few applications from the market, no luck capturing the other person's voice. I love this phone, and had high hopes of being able to record calls.
Thanks for any information or suggestions!

I've been just assuming Total Recall was working like it did on my international Note, but it's not! I just tried every setting I could, and it will not record the other side of the conversation (other than through the mic...) This is really disappointing. AT&T, YOU SUCK! Yet another negative compared to the international version.

I don't suppose you've tried dr.ketan's call recording solution for the international Note? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415310&highlight=recording
Once CWM is available for the AT&T version I'll give this a try (after a nandroid backup), but I don't know how to flash it otherwise.

Try AllCallRecorder. Make sure you go to settings and click on 'Record Other Party".

Yes, these are the audio .so files that I pushed. Since there is no CWM yet, I used ADB to push the files and give them permission but then my Note would not boot up so I reverted back to the original files. I also tried the Call Recorder S application alone and it did not work.

+1 for CallRecorder...Works perfectly...just wish I could turn it on/off per call via a widget or something.
May I suggest "The call recorder" from market.
I found that it records incoming voice much clearer and i like the auto record setting. The pro version is cheap and lets you record unlimited calls. Ignore the negative reviews it works perfect on the note.

I tried "The Call Recorder" and it didn't work. Well it recorded something, but it saved in a .amry file format I've never heard of, and my Note's never heard of it, either. I couldn't play back the recording from the app, from anything else on the Note, nor from my laptop, trying even VLC! I googled the .amry file extension and couldn't find anything about it, either.
CallRecorder works great, though, with sound quality better than Total Recall that I was using before.

This is interesting. I tried "The Call Recorder" as well and it did not work for me either. My Note was able to play the .amry files just fine, but the other person was very faint and it did not work with a any type of headset. I am going to have to flash the stock rom and try some of these other apps without any other applications since I am intrigued as to why some apps work only for some folks.
I second the CallRecorder again...the call quality is great even with my bluetooth which is huge for me.

WOW -- I have been trying everything I can get my hands on to get this working. CallRecorder_v.1.1.6_trial.apk did the trick. It records both sides out of the box. Awesome! Just to clarify this is an AT&T Galaxy Note
Its a great idea but I want to default to not record and then record on the fly. Hopefully I can find an app to do that.

Does this work with bluetooth headsets on the NOTE? are you guys using any special kernels or roms to get his work? or completely stock rom / kernel? I find this unbelieveable and wonderful if true!
Can someone please confirm that both sides are recorded clearly using a BT headset?
sincere thanks in advance.

CallRecorder does work with Bluetooth and does record both sides of the conversation. I am using da_g's root method described in the development forum.

rob - thank you very much for responding.
to clarify on other thing, is there any echo, aka can you hear your own voice in the BT headset -- this was the annoying aspect of trying to record with BT headsets using the international version of the note (N7000) which i currently have.
sorry for being to nitpicky, but before i see my international note and purchase an at&t version, i just want to be 100% sure.
thanks in advance for your response to this question.
so, to be clear, what kernel are you using? Da-G seems to have a prerooted kernel....is that the one?
everything else stock -- meaning, stock rom?

I hear no echo in my headset during recording. Here is a link to a call i made with my Bluetooth headset. Call was made in a car with the window down.
http://db.tt/GABhdPdY
As for the kernel, im still a bit green on android terminology, but i followed the instructions on da_g's thread for overclocking and root. Everything else is stock
Hope this helps!!
PS: ignore the goofy call. I was getting ready to move my companies servers into a new data center and wanted a letter of recommendation before i did it in case things went south

Hi biswasd,
Wanted to post for everyone's information. I am recording via bluetooth and both sides are very clear and have not had any problems with an echo using a Jawbone Era bluetooth headset. Have flashed both Da_G root kernal and then his overclock kernal from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504920. Lastly, I am using this software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1441643 with the Record Calls from set to Standard Android API.
Hope this helps!

[Q] CM10 Nightly - Bluetooth issues

So I don't have any issues installing the nightly CM10 build for the Note2, and everything works great unless I am using my Bluetooth in the car (Radio that lets you make phone calls via mic and speakers). I can hear the person talking but they are very over modulated and there is a lot of static. They can hear me as well - not sure if they hear static. If I flash back to stock (TWRP restore) all is well and problem goes away.
I have tried the last few nightlies, all perform the same.
Any ideas?

[Q] CM 10.2 M1 Mic doesn't work in speakerphone

I've been using the nightlies for about a month now and recently installed the M1 snapshot. In both the nightlies and M1 the speaker phone does not work while in a call. I can hear the caller but they can't hear me as if the mic is muted. Also, things like voice commands doesn't work either in Google Now for instance. I searched the CM Jira bug tracker, but the only report of this I could find has been closed as not an issue. I saw someone else reporting this problem in a thread here and was wondering if anyone knows of a fix/workaround or is having the same problem.

Have had the phone 4 days. on VZW. last night caller complained she couldn't hear me (I use the speakerphone almost without exception). Again this morning. Called a friend and we tested.. he could hear me when I talked in regular mode and as soon as I turned on the speakerphone, I could still hear him but I was muted. Called VZ. reboot with/out sim card etc.. they know nothing. A buddie at VZ reset some stuff and nothing. said to return the phone.. might try a full reset first.. love to know of a fix. Thx!
UPDATE: took the phone into VZW and exchanged it.. hours of set-up.. but so far so good.. really like the phone...

No sound

For some apparent reason, there's no sound playing out of my device. I can't listen to music, I can't even talk on the phone because I cannot hear the other person, unless, I put it on speaker...which is weird. Also, when I turn up the notification sound, that works. So when I get a notification, notification sound comes out of the speaker but when I play music it does not. Any help?
I did unlock my bootloader about a month ago. Flashed a custom ROM.
And yes I did do a hard reset.
