hello z2 users!!.
recently i bought my z2 in replacement with my old N7000 note1. i used my note 1 in recording video of myself playing guitar and at the same time playing MP3 backing track on the same phone. i have tried that features on other phone like lenovo and its working fine. i like this kind of feature where in our phone is a multi task.
when i test it to my Z2. play the music on the walkman app, minimize open the video camera. and start recording suddenly the music stops. i tried the other way around, open camera app, start video recording, it stop upon minimizing the camera app.
Now my question is:
1. is this a common issue of Z2? is it normal on sony phones.
2. is there a way that my phone can use this feature?
i hope i get reply on my queries as i am hoping to use the phone like this

That's normal on Sony phones. You can try with some other camera app like Google camera.

thanks for the reply man, i have tried the google camera but still same issue. btw i used CM rom in my N7000, its working.
Maybe CM rom of Z2 will work or it may give the same output as the stock rom.

Maybe, but you must try it. So if this function is important to you unlock your BL and try with CM.
i found an app that works

I've just updated my phone to Lollipop a few days ago and I'm enjoying it. I'm really glad they added a screen recorder on the power menu so I don't have to use a 3rd party app like Mobizen that lags for days. It works fine for the most part, until I start recording Summoners War gameplay. I noticed that it the recorder vanishes and no video was recorded, so it seems like it crashes. Any way to prevent this? My device is not rooted yet and I'm not planning on rooting my ZU anytime soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to play some of my online games when I root it (some games detect rooted devices as installed with malicious apps for hacking).

I have same issue. I tried to reinstall rom but it still crash so I use SCR Screen Recorder.
It's the best android recording software. If you have root you can record internal audio. If not have root they made a version of it without. It's the best

And root doesn't mess any games up
So, like the title suggests, i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my z5c and applied the drm-fix-thingy. I have also for example installed the xposed framework and some modules. Taking photos works and they look fine, but it won't record video. I've tried different apps, resolutions, framerates but neither front nor back camera will record. Sony camera 2.0.0 for example force closes when i try it.
Has anyone faced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Under my experience the camera doesn't work with xposed installed.
You decide Sony Camera (the google ones works) or xposed.
I tried google camera as well, it also takes photos (like sony's camera) but doesn't record video either :/ says it can't connect to the camera

It works again! Still don't really know what the problem was, i updated my xposed modules and rebooted the phone, now it records just fine... Maybe it just needed the reboot
Hey there,
as you probably know, it's forbidden by google to include a function to an app to record the internal sound. That's the reason why all audio/video-recorder-apps (like AZ Screen Recorder) only allow to record the microphone(s).
Is there anyway a solution to record the internal sound, for example with a cable? But only the digital way via USB(-C) and not the analog way with the phone jack which causes side noises! Do I need a special OTG-Cable?
If I connect the original USB-C-Cable to my pc nothing happens really.
In the dev options in the android settings I can de/activate the usb-audiorouting (but I can see no changes)
I also can choose 'audiosource' in the usb-config. If I plugin then to my computer, there is no new 'microphone' in the audio settings. In the device manager the BLA-L29 is listed, but the drivers are marked as corrupt.
Can somebody help me to finally have the power to record the internal sound? Thank you!
Perhaps try a Bluetooth recorder? I came across this after a 5-second web search; I'm sure that with a little more effort you could find many more varieties.

Well, maybe you invest next time 5 seconds more on reading my question(s). Your reply is nothing I've asked for.
And I already searched HOURS for a good solution, but without success so far.

If the answers you're getting aren't to your liking, you're obviously asking the wrong question. Good luck.

Update: Huawei Mate 10 Pro Screen Record with Audio
Hi
I'm a Streamer and mobile Gamer, Just updated to Official Stable Android 9 on my Mate 10 pro and they actually provided a new screen recorder that can record internal audio but..
Here is the issue i'm facing :
1) When using the screen recording app and i turn the microphone off i'm able to record system sounds on any app and while its recording ,however the speaker sound is turned off so you wont hear anything until you stop the screen record. Also if you enable the mic the screen recorder app will record audio from your mic
I hope this could help Devs to take a close look at this , all we want is that to use a screen recorder which records System audio and mic just like the IPhone to allow us to stream our games to platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Omlet Arcade without buying a IPhone .
I understand google bans devs from accessing this API : Internal Audio, but what if Huawei just develop a app like Samsung Game Launcher where only games and Streaming apps like Twitch, Youtube, Facebook Live, Omlet Arcade are allowed to access the Internet Audio Recording Function?
And BTW to all those trolls , we not requesting bloatware its a just a simple screen recorder or a Gaming Suite/Launcher app for our Mobile Gaming Community
Regards

Because Nokia made a great decision, to use pure Android. The smoothest and fastest Android of all. Besides the Google Pixel- Pixel 2, there is no other flagship with pure Android. You even have Google lens and "ok Google" with screen off, working. You have Android 8.1, when Galaxy S8 is right now updating to 8.0! For almost half the money.... Think about it....
I found this app that works very fine
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/themes/xperia-music-app-nokia-6-t3761076
I use "music folder", I love this app, it's simple but powerful at the same time.
Very very low battery drain.
I tried it for a few weeks and then I bought it, also to reward the work done.

Regarding this decision, I'm glad they took it and that's why I love the new Nokia.
However they could implement some little features like the screen-on when there is a notification coming.
Also their glance screen is still a far cry that the one used in Lumias, in every aspect (aesthetic, features, battery consumption).
I'm not sure if Nokia / HMD is really working under the hood or if they just push Google updates and that's it.

Isn't that what pure Android is all about? Pure Google. Fast updates and stock experience. I think I prefer fast updates, to have a secure and fluid device, than little tricks, that you mostly find in apps on play store anyway.
btw... On WhatsApp, sms and a few more apps, there are notifications on lock screen. And screen turns on. Just not for all apps.
If you look at the phone, the only downside, is it's own camera application. It sucks. Since I replaced it with Google camera, the phone became complete!
Yes you're right and that's why I chose Nokia too (that, + the fact that I'm a fanboy of the brand).
I know that Whatsapp wake up the screen with notifications, the whole point of my post was that, YES, Pure Android is fantastic and so far Nokia do a good job with updates. But maybe they could, like Sony for instance, just make 2-3 little additions on firmwares that won't slow down the updates that much, but will be great for users. For Instance, while under 8.0, it was nearly impossible to enjoy music streaming via bluetooth because it was broken (thanks Google). I don't have this problem on 8.0 with the GS8, and that's because Samsung worked on it.
Now with 8.1, no stuttering anymore, but as a lot of devices, Spotify is just shut down after 30min.
I would appreciate that HMD/Nokia put a little more effort on these type of problems.
I also agree that GC makes an HUGE difference.
I use poweramp and it works great. I love my nokia 8.
PlayerPro also work great for me, although I bought the Pro version years ago so dunno about the free version.
Same with Black Player, small and great.
If you have lots of albums N7 player is a uniquely brilliant in how it presents and navigates them.
I bought playerpro back when I had a HTC wildfire. That's how long I e used this music player and how happy I am with it. It's truly stood the test of time. My favourite feature is being able to download album artwork from the internet.
@venezolano69, I am currently using Onkyo HF player and is pretty good. It has various preseted HQ settings available and has a decent sound quality! It is worth to try if you are seeking for a new music player with good performance.
@machhho, if you are seeking for an audio recorder, let's try the one made by Sony. Both of the software can be found in the Google Store
I have been using BlackPlayer and it's really the best one out there in my opinion.
How can I record calls (App)?
I am now on Asus Music downloaded from APK mirror. Runs great and also has an equalizer. Still using since Asus zenfone 2 Laser and still great
Try shuttle music player

Poweramp for me, nothing seems to sound even close.
Hello guys, what is the best GCam port for the Motorola Edge 40 Pro? If there is one, where can I download it? Thank you in advance
FYI I tested a lot of GCams 8.8.224 (the latest version as of now) and the only cam that doesn't crash is the Shamim SGCAM_8.8.224.10_STABLE_V9FIX. I will keep it becauseyesterday I was at a live concert and the stock camera microphone is a total mess (every video that I made has the audio extremely distorted, while the instagram camera doesn't have this problem, but the video are ****ty).
There are a few problems tho:
1- it is extremely slow when you click every button
2- without touching any settings, pictures and videos are worst than the stock camera
Let me know if that version works for you, and if so, which setting do you use to improve the camera quality!

Tried what you recommended but that gcam had too many problem. 4k 60fps recording just hangs never actually enabling. I'm satisfied with the camera, just wasn't happy with the speed it takes photos.

Have you tried to record a concert with the stock camera? You would get a super distorted audio (with every other camera app i don't have this problem). For now I keep it just to record live concert, but I know it has a lot of problems unfortunately

I don't go to concerts lol. Everything I've filmed has been fine on my end audio wise, I work in a relatively loud environment and the mic holds up about as well as any other phone.
