when i try and record audio (mp3s) with my streak the result comes out high pitched. the stock sound recorder quality isnt very good. I have been trying out mp3/wav recorders form the market.
it almost seems to be a sampling issue.....but the recorders bit rates are all set right.....cd quality, etc....
any ideas?..... is there something i need to change....?
also.....i installed cleartune......and to make it work right i had to make it transpose to D and set A=427Hz.....i installed another tuner called "datuner"....it works fine....
very frustrating cause im a band director and really need to record things on the fly.....but not high pitched.....?
Rehearsal Assitant - can't comment on using for high quality recordings, but works for voice for me.
cool....ty ...
tried it.....rehearsal assistant still uses a lower bitrate when recording. .wav recording doest work at all....it looks like it is recording but is not......and the files will close and crash the player...
i need a solution to record at high bitrates.
man.... i have tried i think every recording program on the market..... the only one that would record at 44.1k was "Livo Recorder"..... it will record .wavs that sound ok...but at 5-10 Mb/min.... .wavs are just way too big to use and email....
all the .mp3/other recorders would record but the files came out sounding like they were being played in a slow fast forward...
this is very frustrating..... is it the streak?....is it android 2.2?
i need this to work.... i need to record stuff all the time....and .3gp at 8k is not going to work for concert band recordings....the end result is too muddy sounding.....i dont record to keep...only for review... it is an essential aid when working my band
any ideas?.....and thank you for your help
Recordings are horrible!?!? Would love to find an anwser too
I have had the same issue and I would love to know what can be done. I have tried contacting the developers of various recording apps, but get no response from any???
im sure a lot of other streak cats and maybe some android users in general are having the same problem...
this is a real bummer for me actually.....this could be a serious deal buster for me...i may have to go back to my iphone i bought the streak as an upgrade to my jailbroken iphone 3gs.... iphone sucks but at least it does what it is supposed to do...and yes to make an iphone bearable you really should jailbreak it.....
i also had to root my streak to fix several other issues as well.....lol.... i had to "jail break" my streak....lol...
like the tuner issue im having....being a band director i NEED a tuner...it is a must have....i know i could just use a dedicated pocket tuner, but..... the point is that something is totally not working right in the streak or android....being able to record these days at CD quality should be a no-brainer to developers and/or hardware developers..... i was recording cd quality back in 2001 on my sx-66(the original XDA phone...) pocket pc phone....lol....
anyway,......any ideas?
anyone else having these issues?..... have you found something that works?
Maybe list the recorders you've already tried, so someone doesn't repeat. I've been using pcm recorder for voice recognition (naturallyspeaking), but of course that's only wav. Probably the difficulty lies in the licensing required for creating mp3's.
Would ogg recording do?
I just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
does anybody have any ideas?
I'm rather surprised that nobody seems to have any ideas on this... could someone at least please relay to me why this isn't possible (if it's not possible)?
I would think that this would be a reasonably popular thing to do (recording video whilst looking at a prompter or even a web page or something to do podcasting stuff...
Is this something I'm going to have to write? (I have no idea how to dev android apps).
well i'm glad to see that google does a good job at finding appropriate threads - here it is, a couple of months later, and I'm revisiting the same problem that I had before - I still can't record and prompt at the same time on my i717 (now running cm9 / cm10, not that it should matter)... I still don't get it.
i don't know what to say , u searched a program on google?i believe that is here at least 1 program for your note
Video app with built in teleprompter
There is a great teleprompter/video recording app. It's called VRT2. Unfortunately you would have to downgrade to an iPad to get it. When I saw it, I was tempted o make the switch, but I don't want to give up the advanced features of my Samsung Note 10.
I'm hoping that a great Android app developer will create something like the VRT2 soon.
When it's ready, I'm ready to buy it.
I still can't seem to find anything that does this and it would be *great* for quick video podcasting... I just want to be able to record myself on the front camera while either reading my notes or looking at a teleprompter with the outline i've created for the segment.
Video recorder teleprompter
Have you found any other software to video you with front facing camera with teleprompter on screen?
I know Ipad have one on itunes costing somewhere 24 dollars or £18 which is a professional one, not tried it but I now it does record you and at the same time has all the words you want to talk about in front of you.
Keep up to date, I don't know which tablet to buy because of this problem.

Hey guys,
I just watched like all videos about s3 and its camera, it seems like the audio quality of recorded videos are hoorible compared to even older devices... Is there any way to simply implement an equializer with a default settings change for the audio recorded ? U know, to fix that..
And the other thing is the brightness, i noticed that if ur recording outside or in a forest or park the camera cant simply handle the bright spots... In general i watched comparision videos with an iphone (which i will enver bey) and a galaxy nexus, the nexus doesnt ave these problems with brightness and has a waaay better audio quality..
Can anyone of u who owns this device please make some videos in 1080p and plax around with the contrast/brightness settings, since i dont have my device yet so i can see what quality changes one cna make ?
Thanks. Sincerely Gram.
Hello, new here. I wanted to get some suggestions on what to do for this situation.
I've been currently searching for a new phone & I've found it, the Amaze of course. I finished my research and found this to be the perfect phone for me, though there is one issue I want to know about.
The Audio Quality on this phone is down right terrible compared to many phones out there, & I don't understand if this is a software problem or a hardware problem.
I need to know if this issue can be or is already solved, because out of the many videos I've seen its the same issue with the Audio in the video, just sad for such a highend phone. Has anyone fixed this or is someone working on it? Thanks
Do you have a case on your phone? If you do then does it have the holes around the camera where the holes are?
I just recorded my daughters school play with ky phone and it sounds great. Then again I'm using a modded Camera.apk and using a Custom Rom. But the Quality of my recordings were nice.

I've noticed that audio is passable on normal recordings. I happen to be a race fan, and IndyCar and F1 sound terrible on this phone. They overpower the mic and the audio is clipped or something, becuase I get alot of loud scratchy noise. I'm on stock, BTW.
Thanks for replying
@Double0EK - I've still yet to buy the phone, I'm just making sure before I buy that it can be fixed. I heard that this issue could be resolved by using a Custom ROM, I wish I could post youtube links right away to show you what I mean. Its like a hollow super sensitive mic, its most noticeable when recording voice.
@oryan_dunn - That's similar but even then, just simple voice recording sounds bad to me. Every single video that I watch you can tell of the quality, since I can't post youtube links yet, if you happen to be on there you can search for video samples of peoples voice on it.
Here's a small portion of the video I recorded with my phone. I think it sounds great..but then again I came from a really early/crappy phone before I got the Amaze. So naturally everything is better for me.

@Double0EK - Aww, so cute, lol. Thank you very much for uploading that Yea I can tell that its much different, definitively sounds way much better. I guess I'll have to give it a go & root it right after.
I'm with the LG Optimus V, and even though the Evo 3D just came out for Virginmobile, I'm sick of their terrible service. I understand that its a prepaid, but service is just not good around in my area. T-Mobiles $30 Plan, 100minutes, unlimited texting and 5GB of data is very tempting, just needed to a phone to bring over. Thank you very much again.
i purchased this phone recently mainly because i wanted a good camera phone to bring to concert events. that way i wouldnt have to bring my camcorder. the video capture is great, however the audio was overwhelmed. i figured the 3 noise cancelling mics in the back would make sound recording good but that was not the case...
few examples:
damn i cant post links cause i dont have 10 posts yet...ill pm i guess
think i'm going to look into a modded camera.apk as well to see if i get better results
Guys,
Give lgcamera a whirl from the market. While it records in mono, the sound is much improved over the high gain HTC puts in their camcorder app. I'm on a Sensation but we suffer the same problem. With the lgcamera app you can set the audio to aac, 320kbs, 44.1khz. Sound is much better. If lgcamera doesn't do it for you try camera ICS from the market. Its basically the stock camera in the galaxy nexus.
Hope this helps.

You can hear that hissssssssss sometimes during the video that I cant stand. Its almost as if something is two loud for the video. Its always like that when recorded with stereo on. I personally always record in mono and it makes that sound go away
I was sitting next to one of the speakers so ya its kind of loud. I know what you mean tho. The mics are very sensitive.

I can tell you quite honestly, there are some audio situations(like someone mentioned races) that NO phone is going to record well, and someone suggested an app that you can choose audio settings - that sounds like the best idea.
I attached a screenshot, disable stereo audio, this HUGELY increases quality of audio.. but I'm sure with some light googling you could find an app that will help, or there may even be some build.prop tweaks out there..
But what I think trying to capture really loud sound is something you can't expect, this is a phone not a video camera(and most video cameras have the same issue).. but this phone has such a sensitive audio that really light sounds are picked up perfectly, crisp..
I guess my final thought - you're going to lose BIG time getting any other phone just because of this one thing - lower quality video, worse color capture(samsung!), loss of many features, speed, etc.. if you're willing to get what will be an inferior phone in SOME way just to get better audio, so be it.. but there is some work around I'm sure you could find with a little effort on your part.
so i downloaded and installed lgcamera... did a recording with stock camera app and then recorded the exact same stuff and me saying the exact same thing with lgcamera app. didnt hear much of a difference... THEN i decided to turn ''camcorder'' mode ON in lgcamera app and holy mother of GOD excellent audio!
Now i gotta tweak the video record settings for best quality on the video. (h.264 or mpeg4, also what quality settings and whatnot from there)
ALSO it would be nice to be able to launch lgcamera app from the dedicated video record button on the side of the phone. is there a way to do that?
also, does anyone want me to upload comparison audio videos showing you the difference between stock and the settings i chose?

I'm curious on the comparison video.. I just downloaded the app, really like it so far.. only issue is that I haven't found a video setting that works properly yet - what are all the video settings you're using? It will record SOMETHING.. but the screen freezes when I hit record, and it can't play whatever the output video is. I tried all the formats, multiple frames per second, different audio settings..
But definitely a nice app, once I get video working properly it will be my daily driver.
As for changing the camera button to that app, that may be pretty difficult.. it is something you have to change in the is, unless there's an app for that. I know tasker could do it.. but start Googling button remapper, and check the market.. I think I remember something that could do it.
edit: now when I press the key it automatically opens the app, I didn't change any settings.. so there must be some setting in the app for that perhaps? Otherwise, tasker will do the trick..
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
holding the camera key opens up lg camera so thats nice. but holding the dedicated video camera button still opens the stock video camera... curious.
Ill tell you my settings later when i upload the comparison video
seems there is a setback. lgcamera videos would playback choppy and super slow. tried to record with the stock app and the video came out the same way. did some research online, it seems sometimes LGcamera will corrupt and even mess up the stock camera forcing a factory reset to get everything working again. luckily my phone iso nly 2 days old so factory resetting isnt a pain for me.
ill see what i come up with afterwards

Try switching the scene mode to action or flowers. Flowers work best for me for consistent 30fps. Also make sure you test frame output in good lighting. Dim lighting will always have a lower recorded frame rate.
what i mean is when i plugged the camera back in to my computer and tried to play the videos on my computer, they would run at like 1/4th the speed and sometimes not play. after fcatory resetting it still did this. i restarted my computer and it fixed it. so maybe it was a playback issure on my comp vs the phone. i kept recording videos and plugging and unplugging my phone to my cmputer. i probably created a feedback loop or mucked up drivers or something. ill keep giving it a go.

And here it is.
I tested out stock camera stereo off, lg camera stereo on, and lg camera stereo off.
lgcamera stereo off is the exact sound quality we're looking for. It clearly works and sounds great! I sample them in my house and outside with fireworks going off to give you an idea how it will do with loud sounds and all that good stuff. check it out, i think you'll be pleasently surprised. ill be using lgcamera for my videos from here on out.
I saw no distinguishable difference in the 'quality' of the video between stock camera app and lgcamera at 20mb for video recording. (anything above 20 will not work as it will fail in recording. and when it does record when you watch it later the file will be corrupt)
settings are
video:
1920x1080
H.264
MPEG4
20Mbit (any higher will result in freezes and corrupt files)
30fps
Audio:
Camcorder
AAC
4800
32000
interesting

It won't work for me at that resolution, it just says video record failed, I have to use 1920x1088 or less than that. Also, I think you meant audio settings 48000 and 320000, but if you did.. it gets really choppy at that point. Lowering the settings much below that increases video quality, but then the sound is worse than stock video.
I'm thinking the audio quality of the stock video player is the highest it can be while still maintaining highest quality video, or at least that is what I gather from testing between the two. And besides, after doing the camera hack included in most current roms, the audio quality is MUCH better, which makes me think that the 40mb/s recording allows for better audio with stock.
Are you using the camera hack or a rom that has it included? If not, give it a try, I think it makes this camera app kind of a moot point.. if this app had more polish, and worked more consistently, maybe I would make the switch, but the stock app isn't bad by far, even less so with the camera mod.
Here is the settings that are used by the stock tmo camera app(from the modified media_profiles.xml in system/etc), if you are mainly trying to get better quality sound, that is the file you need to modify. If you are stock, but rooted.. find the mod, this is what it would look like:
<AudioEncoderCap name="aac" enabled="true"
minBitRate="8000" maxBitRate="96000"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="48000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="2" />
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrwb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="6600" maxBitRate="23050"
minSampleRate="16000" maxSampleRate="16000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrnb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="5525" maxBitRate="12200"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="8000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Raise the minbitrate and minsamplerate to something higher, and raise the max if that isn't high enough for you.. if you don't want it to record in amrwb or amrnb format change those lines to enabled="false"
Makes more sense than using a 3rd party app that only sorta works I think..
hello to all, greetings from Spain, I open this issue because since last Friday I am the new owner of lg v30, but I have a problem that I do not like at all, and I would like to know if the same thing happens to you too
on YouTube, I've put some videos of these shows to see the screen and others, and I noticed that the videos in 1080p60 are pretty lag, and quite annoying frame losses, like stoppages, (in one of Youtube videos, a demo of LG, a red car comes out, and happens to be next to the camera and the next frame is already 2 meters, I do not know if I explain) and I'm quite fussy about this issue, what I put the same video to 1080p also in a leeco le pro 3, and it looks fluidisimo, perfect .... why can this be? Someone else happens?
I do not know if you can put links, if you can please tell me and I'll post the video so you can try it if you can see it well
Another question, does your phone heat up? is that I notice it hotter than the leeco, as soon as I put some video like this 1080p60 gets tempered by the area of the camera, I do not know if that is normal or not
Thank you very much and hopefully answer
Happens to me too. I also tested this on a Galaxy S8 and it has identically bad performance. It probably also happens on the Note 8. 1080p30 HDR runs fine though. I didn't notice any heating - maybe just slightly warm but could as well be from my hands. Was the other phone you tested HDR capable?
I don't know if I can help you at all, but perhaps if you fill in some blanks, others might.
1) What model phone do you own and what firmware are you on (stock, stock rooted, custom ROM, etc)? You can check your firmware under Settings.
2) Can you link us to a video that's giving you problems?

hello, thank you very much for answering
1) my phone is lg v30 h930, stock, just removed from the box without touching anything, and the software version is V21w-EUR-XX
2) this problem happens to me in all the videos that I play on YouTube 1080p60 HDR (if I put the same video in 720p60 HDR the problem improves a lot, it becomes almost imperceptible) but the problem is that youtube does not give the option to deactivate the hdr, so if the video has that option, it activates it
I give you some examples of the videos that I have tried and they are very annoying ( It does not let me put links because I have less than 10 messages, I put the description of the youtube thumbnail, the first videos come out )
on youtube put "lg oled demo ", and play the first video, which shows a teapot in the thumbnail, and the video that shows a butterfly in the thumbnail, both are 4k Hdr 60fps
the phone I have it all activated, the HDR, I have not activated any energy savings, this all to the maximum ... I do not know what can happen, I do not know if it is the snapdragon 835 problem that can not with so much demand .... Do you think that could be why?
I have a pocophone f1 my brother, and the same video runs smoothly, very very fluid, but does not allow HDR, but I do not want hdr only make it look fluid
I've also noticed a bit of lag in chrome, in firefox it's better to scroll
Do you think it will be solved in any way? is that if I'm not return it and buy another phone thinking, something like pocophone because they do not have that kind of budget : llorando:
thank you very much and I hope response
I just tested that first video you suggested (the one with the teapot thumbnail) and I had absolutely no issues with playback. No stutter or lag with either the video or audio.
It's perfectly smooth, and really a lovely video.
I'm not an expert on HDR (since I don't use this device to watch movies or TV shows via Netflix or any other service), but as far as I can tell, the HDR triggered properly.
I have HDR turned on Settings, of course, and it's my understanding that you can tell when HDR turns on (when you rotate to Landscape) because the white Youtube pause/play buttons (amongst others) get very bright compared to Portrait view (which is supposed to disable HDR).
I also have never had any issues with Chrome. But I don't use FireFox, so I can't really compare the two.
I'm using an American open market US998 LG V30 on stock 20D (an old firmware from around June/July 2018), rooted.
I plan on updating my phone to the newest stock firmware one of these days, but haven't gotten around to it.
I have no idea what's going on with your phone. I understand it's new.
Maybe try checking to see if there's an OTA firmware update ready for you to install? (You might be running system software even older than mine, with a flawed HDR implementation).
Maybe there are some bloatware apps that came with your phone that are impacting performance.
Perhaps a factory reset could help?
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Que tengas buena suerte.
When i Am on STOCK ROM there is stutter and lag..
Install A CUSTOM ROM (tested on dot os) The colors still look vivid and plays smooth!! Absolutely no lag
I have had this issue since I first took my V30 out the box. Have the latest update for stock ROM/ VS996/Verizon. I gave up trying to troubleshoot this issue.
im using vanced as default YouTube app. it has an option to enable VP9 codec, that'll make your playback smoother even at 1440p60fps. But it kill HDR (but the color still the same tho). Shame, that V30 couldn't play HDR, because this phone is one of YouTube Signature Devices https://devicereport.youtube.com/phones/lg_v30.
Update: When I play that "lg oled demo" video, it doesn't stutter, I don't notice any of them. But when play "peru hdr" it stutter a lot. I'm using H932 latest stock. Try to activate that VP9 codec if you don't want HDR after all. Also, I don't use Chrome anymore, I disable it and using others. try Kiwi or Brave both are chromium based if you prefer chrome-like interface. If Firefox feels better so stick with it.
Just turn off hdr in display settings, every lg v30 has this problem. I think it's because hw decoder cannot keep up so this problem applies to every snapdragon 835 phone. Hw is capable of 1080p30fps HDR in vp9, 1080p60fps HDR is on the limit and can drop frames. HDR is gimmick for me, it is not well implemented. The quality is much worse than normal videos. For me bigger problem is that oled screen cannot reproduce dark colors because of low uniformity when pixels are barerly turned on and very slow response time in that matter too but that's for another topic.
