I'm really interested in this phone, mainly because of the audio quality specs. However, I'm a little apprehensive about this second display idea. If this second display is always on, does that mean it can be active in my pocket? In other words, is it possible to be launching apps or hitting the audio controls unintentionally? Also, as far as the audio controls, will it work for any audio app? I will likely want to use poweramp rather than the lg audio app.

By default it is only showing date, time and notifications. To be interactive you need to slide right/left, which is very unlikely to happen.
I have had the phone for almost 3 weeks and no issues at all.
Not to mention the phone's second screen won't be on in your pocket as the proximity sensor shuts it off. You'll be just fine man

Hi, I was wondering if anyone in here knows if there is any app or plugin for android 2.2 (Desire) that would allow users to adjust the pitch of music playback? I have no idea whether it is possible hardware-wise. What I am specifically after is turning it down to -0.32 semitones, that basically changes the playback frequency from standard 440 hz to 432 hz. Thanks in advance.
Why? (I am genuinely interested)
432hz vibrates on the principals of natural harmonics and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity and magnetism with biology, the DNA code and consciousness.
432hz Natural Tuning has profound effects on consciousness and also on the cellular level of our bodies.
By retuning musical instruments and using concert pitch at 432 hertz instead of 440 hertz, you can "feel" the difference of connecting to natural resonance
You can give it a try on your computer by adjusting it in your music player. Foobar2000 does the thing after installing a little plugin called soundtouch. Activate it and configure by adjusting the pitch to -0.32 semitones. It smells a bit of another conspiracy theory, but I've just listened to few of my favourite dub albums and hell yeah, there is a difference.

I just tried it, and -0.32 semitones isn't one of the options. The slider skips it. It's preset adjustments, and that isn't one.
You just tried what? Adjusting it in foobar? Use your keyboard arrows left/right, that allows you to adjust by 0.01 semitones.

sounds interesting; going to try that in foobar once i get home.
you got any evidence to support your statements?
Can't tell a difference, and the other google results are from conspiracy theory sites.
If you can't hear the difference then forget the whole thing, 0.32 semitones is enough to at least admit that whatever you're listening to sounds a bit off key. You'll get used to it after a while and then it will just sound more mellow than usual.
Bump!
Is there any program for this?
Thanks!

Writing one with help of SoundPool and setRate() shouldn't be hard...
I'll try tomorrow and post the APK and source code if succeed
This would also be handy for Karaoke singers, they can change the pitch of the track they're playing from the Phone?
Bumping this, is there a 432 converter or player?
Thanks

I'm not sure if I've just never noticed it before but after muting the camera shutter sound by turning the ringer down before opening the camera app, I now can hear a slight 'tick' or 'click' when I tap to focus. It's nothing like the 'clickity clicks' my OG Droid used to make when starting the camera BUT it does concern me a bit. I baby my phone/ haven't dropped it or had an impact etc.
[Q]: Does anyone else out there in XDA land hear this sound?
Thanks,

I feel like it's the normal sound I'd expect from a focusing lens... every digital camera i'd ever had made that noise...
I did a search but apparently I either didn't use the right key words or am totally incompetent (which happens after a few... )

Hey everyone,
I have seen lots of questions like this and everyone is answering like "simply capture video holding smartphone horizontally" or etc, but that is not the answer in this case.
Why I see this is useful? I have a job which includes some extreme situations and actions. It is not allowed to publicly record a video on my job, so I simply put the phone in the pocket of my vest which is to small for smartphone and the camera is uncovered all the time, so I can record a video without anyone knowing it. The thing is that phone in that pocket can only be in vertical position. I use SC-OS3 app which is a "spy cam" app with great functions (while screen turned off You can click volume up to start recording and there will be no signs that could put me in trouble) and great quality videos recording. I already captured some good videos.
So now You know why I ask is there any way to override system settings and record video horizontally (so that it would be wide while I play it on PC for example)... Any ideas guys?
I am on Android 6.0, rooted.
I ported a few codes into the Nokia Recorder app v8.1030.40 to enable support for OZO audio recording. I've only tested this in my Nokia 7 Plus, but it might work in other OZO-supported devices.
Changelog:
- Added spatial recording support: ACC recording format (screenshot 2) now records with spatial audio recording by default.
- Changed app theme color: just to differentiate it from the original base app.
NOTES: To make the most of the spatial recording feature, I forced Surround mode in this mod, which means all three microphones are used at once. Since this feature is for video recording by default, its full potential can be maximized in landscape mode (since the microphones are oriented vertically, putting the phone in landscape mode allows for differential left and right audio channels). Here, I forced the orientation such that the left audio channel is oriented at the top portion of the phone, and the right audio channel at the bottom. So for accurate audio channels, I recommend orienting the phone in landscape mode with the charging port on the right hand side (like recording a video). Of course if it doesn't matter to you that much, you can orient the phone however you like; audio quality is good, nevertheless. Enjoy recording audio in high quality!

P.S. I humbly request everyone to please do not spam with "add the feature/support to GCam" etc. etc. I've spent 4 days to figure this out and make it work, and I need a break right now. Cheers!

This is to pause recording with incoming phone calls.
Thank you very much, this will be very helpful because most recording apps doesn’t utilize Nokia’s ozo audio. Nokia microphones are awesome!
I'm curious how you figured it out. Is there some Nokia API documentation somewhere or is it just a matter of enumerating device capabilities and trying the various options? Is is an Java API or do you need to call ioctl on some device?
Would you be able to post a code snippet?

It's stock Nokia camera ??*
Thanks for the great work and for sharing. Installed fine on my Nokia 8. Will do some test recordings and listen with headphones, the only way to really enjoy spatial audio.
I've been looking for some way of recording Ozo sound since I got my Nokia 8 over a year ago. Up until now I've had to record video as well using the camera app, then extract the audio in Audacity.
I had written to Nokia back in September 2018 and had this reply:
Hi Mark,
OZO Audio function on the Nokia 8 is only for native camera video recording function and not open to 3rd party applications. Please contact mobile phone division for any further questions and support.
Regards,
OZO Sales
I'd also written to the author of the Hi-Q app to see if he could get Ozo audio working, but he couldn't. The audio recorded by other apps had odd audio distortion present as if some algorithm was at play distorting everything.
I'll do some testing later!
You said you could configure the microphones. For the Nokia 8 it might be useful to use the bottom mic and the one on the screen side then you can leave the phone placed on a surface and still watch the recording.
Can you explain what you've done... I can let the Hi-Q app developer know!
Thanks,
Mark.

Yes my phone stock Nokia camera app
With further tests on my Nokia 8 I can see the microphone by the screen doesn't seem to influence any of the recordings. You can rub it or occlude it and the stereo field doesn't shift. If you rub the mic near the flash or near the USB socket you hear mono noise (equal in left and right) added to the recording. If you occlude either of these you get mono recordings and signal is equally split between left and right. If you occlude both mics everything goes very quiet and muffled. If sound reaches both mics then it successfully puts the recording in the stereo field. As rubbing sounds are noisy in one mic but probably not heard in the other the Ozo algorithm probably sends that equally to left and right channels as it can't tell where it is coming from. There is no audio distortion heard on recording music coming from a room TV. With my Hi-Q app, rubbing either of the same mics generates noise purely in the left or right channel. And that app still suffers from some very strange audio processing where music in the room seems to get signal processed away.
In short, this is the app we've all been waiting for!
Thanks for your detailed feedback. Where is the "screen side" microphone located ? Based on the notes that came with the app "forced surround", shouldn't it also be used by the app like in the surround mode of the videos produced by the stock camera app ?
I videod a piano concert the other day and while the surround sound sounded better than the "front" option I was a bit annoyed by the "shifting" in the sound, probably due to the OZO software interpreting the sound sent by the mics.
The third mic is to the side of the ear piece, in the glass cutout line (on the Nokia 8).
So. I've had this phone for less than a week, and the amount of bugs I've found in the stock ROM is just staggering.
Just want to know if these are really bugs from the OS and not a faulty unit. And if so, have you have found any workaround for any of them?
Also, I'm placing here some fixes (if there are). So new people to the phone won't have to go all over the internet looking for a fix.
1) after unlocking the phone with fingerprint, sometimes the brightness goes to about 70% and stays there. Adaptive brightness won't lower it until you manually decrease it.
-My fix: Disabled adaptive brightness and installed Velis from the play store. Configured the brightness pattern and there, problem solved.
2) audio sounds muffled in every app other than phone.
-My fix: A factory reset fixed this issue for me. I believe it's a Google assistant related problem.
3) WhatsApp voice note audio recording quality is poor and volume is low, WhatsApp calls, however sound amazing.
4) (not sure if this is a bug) using hdr in the main camera really messes the image borders. Things appear to be way wider than they are. Using no hdr makes it a little less wide. Which is to be expected from wide angle lenses in phones.
5) when plugged to the charger, the screen brightness goes up. I've noticed that in a dark room, the brightness sensor value goes from 0 to 81 when the led turns on. A design flaw, maybe?
6) Copied text, and dragging folders in Solid explorer creates a ghost image of the thing in question.
-Fix?: Close the app in the recent apps. Thanks to: @fetaiharbin
7) The on screen fingerprint sensor is painfully slow sometimes.
-Fix?: Removing the animation on the fingerprint scan is actually a great way of saving around 1/2s every time. Procedure here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/guide-remove-fingerprint-animation-t3966514
And also, check this post for more tweaks. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/tweaks-features-xiaomi-mi-a3-root-t3976287
Are you experiencing any of these or got a fix for them ? Let me know!
Don't forget the thanks button if this post helped you.
I can confirm 1 and 5 are bugs that were here day one bugs that never fixed. Also I'll tell you another one, copying texts will make them stick to screen.

I have this phone for like 2 months or so, and I do have the 1 issue where the brightness goes higher.
I also have the 3rd issue where instead for example recording the song that I'm playing on my earphones, it records my voice instead.
As per the copying and the text that gets stuck on the screen, you can remove that app where you copied from recent apps, and it'll disappear, but still that sucks.
I've been waiting for Android 10, but it seems that I might have to flash MiUi and give it a try.

Can both of you confirm the WhatsApp recorded voice notes sounding muffled problem?
For me, it's only on the WS voice notes.
Using a voice recorder app I get clear recordings with very good quality. So I'm not thinking it's a hardware issue.
Also. Check the first post for a fix on problem 1.
