My T-Mo S5 is running UVU1DOB1 (5.0) Stock, but rooted by me.
So..
I do a lot of recordings (just for Instagram) of concerts for part of my job and every video I take is completely distorted!
A friend of mine and I were at the same concert and his recording (right next to me) of that part of the show sounded great on his iPhone 6 but mine sounded horrible.
I looked through settings in the camera and also googled for any answers but found none.
Is there an app to set either of the microphones sensitivity?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Definitely not against flashing another custom ROM to fix the issue, as long as it connects to my Galaxy Gear 2.
**I was thinking of trying Blisspop but was using CM12 at the time of starting to record some shows and didn't seem to find any settings on the new 5.1.1 to help the volume issue.
TIA for any help!! :good:

I have looked through the forums and googled this far and wide, but couldn't find anything. When I make a video call on my Samsung Galaxy S 2, there is no sound except a very loud static noise. Has anyone had a similar problem?
I'm on Pure ICS Rom by Spike_M, have tried different kernels and modems, but couldn't fix it. The interesting thing is that my brother has the same Rom and setup on his SGS2 and he doesn't have this problem. Also video calling through Skype works fine!
Appreciate any help!
Hey.
Yesterday i was on this 'We love the 90's' live arrangement where Scooter, Culture Beat, Haddaway, Captain Jack, Dr Bombay and Daze was doing a live arrangement here i live in Ålesund.
Now, the video recording was in good quality for the most part, so i have nothing to say about that.
But what my question is, is if it's possible to lower the input volume of the microphone(s) on the Galaxy S II?
I'm using Android 4.0.3 though. Or i'm using SensatioN ROM v3.4, but it's a Samsung ROM anyways.
When the sound / noise gets a little high, the sound starts to cracks quite alot. And that will ofc make it bad to record a live arrangement.
I know we can change / edit the values to the bitrate on the recorded movies and the audio quality to in the 'media_profiles.xml' file that are under System/etc.
Shouldn't it be possible to reduce the input volume to the microphone to then?
Or isn't it any ways of doing this?
I also hope that i posted this on the right place.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
EDIT: I was using LgCameraPro to record the movies and was setting it to record in mono because the sound would crack WAAAAY more if i had been recording the sound in Stereo.
EDIT 2: I'm uploading a little clip from the live arrangement to let you see what i'm talking about.
It's done in about 20 minutes.
EDIT 3: Here is the little video clip.
Bump before i'm off to work.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I had the same problem too ^^
same problem here, but it seems a known issue of s2
Still no ideas on this problem?
Think i have to give this topic a little bump again.
Rooted stock I9300XXLFB (international) version. The audio recording is very noisy. I tried several applications for video+audio recording and audio only recording but the noise is always there (EDIT: except of call recording where the noise is ok but overall recording quality is low, of course). Here are two examples taken with the stock Camera application (with the audio track taken out of the resulting mp4 using ffmpeg). I was hoping that the latest fix from radeonxt might help but it is perhaps even worse (more noise from the lower frequencies seem to appear) - the first one (before.aac) is before the fix, the other file is after applying the fix. Both of these were recorded at night in a completely quite room.
before.aac
after.aac
Is this a general S3 problem or is it something specific for my S3? Any sugggestion how to fix it?
I tried 2 other things.
Noise removal in audacity worked pretty well. Of course, this was a very simple spoken word example and it would probably not work well with eg quite background music but still it shows that the problem might simply be no noise reduction while recording audio.
Then I recorded a fake call (using Call Recorder) - and the noise is not present there. Of course, it is a much lower quality (8000Hz at 6.4 kbit vs 48000 Hz at 45/80 kbit) but still it shows that a software fix might be possible. However, strangely enough (at least for me), the noise is not even present if I turn off call noise reduction in the call advanced options:
mediafire.com/?5liar18ekjt5afm
(sorry for not providing a full link but it seems that suddenly I am not allowed to include links??? I get an error message that new users cannot post links - strangely, I was allowed to do that 10 hours ago)
Anyway, the only conclusion I can make is that is seems likely to me that a software fix is possible.
However, first I am wondering, can somebody confirm having the same levels of noise in audio/video recording? If the problem is in my device then I'd rather return it - I certainly want to use the S3 for recording videos from time to time and it is close to unusable for me at these noise levels...
Any input highly appreciated!

If I knew this is a general S3 issue then I could just wait and hope voodoo for s3 is out soon indeed
However, so far I have not found anybody either confirming or denying the noise on his s3 (I do not personally know anybody else with S3), so I am wondering whether it is not a problem specific for my device...
If anybody with S3 could make some audio recording (eg using the Camera application) under similar conditions (just a few words in a quite environment) and compare the noise level or post the recording here, that would be a huge help... but any report (I think/I don't think I have the same problem) or comment would definitely help me too...
I have just found a few S3 video recordings on youtube that are significantly less noisy than mine, eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfsdxx7dK8k (even though he is complaining about audio, it is still much less noisy than what I get)
So I guess either there are different versions of S3 with different microphones/drivers or my microphones/drivers are not working properly. Anybody has an idea how could I find out what is the case?
Anybody? Any idea, suggestion, comment?
hi there,
if this is an annoying noob question, please ignore. i have read the forum rules and stuff, and watched the video. maybe my question is out of place here, but i thought i would give it a go.
i have a question regarding recording AUDIO, ie NOT audio in a video recording, on the galaxy SIII.
i'm a record producer and i would like to make decent sounding recordings of bands in rehearsal. i would like them to be not distorted and preferably in stereo. the only app that i came across on the market so far that gives me the option of recording in stereo and controlling the input gain is recforge pro. however, its 'stereo' options never seem to use the 2 mics on the SIII (its 'stereo(native)' mode records only either left or right side at random) , and in recording loud bands, the audio gets distorted anayway, even if i put the input gain on its lowest setting.
i just want to know if what i want is possible with this phone. i've been scouring these forums for hours now, and honestly couldn't find any decent answer to my question. if what i want is possible only by rooting the device and installing a custom ROM, i'm willing to do so. but i don't have the time to spend days in trial and error. so, if anyone here could answer my question and/or is interested in developing a ROM for me, i would most definitely be grateful.
thanks in advance,
stokki.
I decided to try Sony's answering machine feature. I recorded a greeting. When I played it back it sounded like I was talking through a towel or something. I called my girlfriend and she said I sounded fine, so I don't think it's a mic issue.
As a check I downloaded 2 different voice recorder apps and both record with the same muffled sound.
Could you guys try and let me know. I'm on the most recent firmware 17.1.A.2.55.

Some new info to report.....
I'm hoping a dev reads this and can shed some light.
People have been complaining in certain situations that they can't hear me on their end. Usually in noisy environments (on my side)
I downloaded "Easy Voice Recorder" in an effort to run some more testing. This particular voice recorder lets you override the phone's default for
1) noise suppression
2) echo cancellation
Turning off noise suppression makes a huge difference. Still sounds like **** compared to every other phone I've had in the last 5 years but it's improved greatly.
Thinking back, the times when people complained about the call quality on my end, I'm pretty sure my Z2 noise suppression is to blame.
Two things then:
Someone please download "Easy Voice Recorder" and test how a recording sounds. Then disable noise suppression in settings and test again.
Secondly, does any dev know of a way to alter the default noise suppression functionality?
Again, as I have divulged in several threads, I am unlocked, rooted and have lost my DRM keys. If this is not an issue for anyone else I'm wondering if it could have something to do with that...someone please take a minute and test this for me..Thanks.
Hi I got similar issues. Look at my thread, "Bad call Quality".
