WhatsApp low recording Volume - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I noticed that voice memos and audio's recorded with whatsapp have very low Volume, my friends barely hear me. But Calling volume is very good and normal.
Andy ideas how to fix this (with root)?
Thanks

Any Idea how to increase mic gain for whatsapp?

Same problem on my G5, with other apps the mic recording is perfect, so i think the problem is within WhatsApp, it will be fixed in the next version.

on updated stock roms it's already been fixed. when you use cm/lineage you need to install a kernel with sound control, for example crazyKernel

Hi! THanks for your answer.
I must say first, that I'm not using an LG G5 but a Samsung Relay phone, is just I had the same problem and I'm trying to find a solution to people having the same problem.
Having said that, I never had problems with stock, it's with cyanogenmod 11. Do you think I can also use crazykernel? Did that fix the voice notes problem in whatsapp for your phone? I only have problems with voice notes, everything else works as expected.
Best,

No you can't use crazykernel, they are device specific. Search for a Stock(if you are using Stock rom) kernel for your device with Sound Control

Oh I understand. Unfortunately i'm not using stock, but CM 11. Is with CM that I have this problem of whatsapp voice notes too quiet, in stock it works ok.
Thanks!

[Q] Call recording on the Xperia S

I recently made the switch from a samsung galaxy s II to the xperia S and one feature i miss the most is having call recording.
now i know that it is usually a hardware issue but i know for a fact that samsung and sony ericsson(now just sony) have never had issues with call recording and never locked it down.
When i got my phone, i went on an app hunt in the market for an app that would record both sides of a phonecall automatically, loud and clear. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to find one yet.
does anyone know of an app they have tried and found to work on the xperia s?
bump... i hope someone knows of such an app...
I haven't got my Xperia S yet but once tried "Record My Calls" with my X10 and I remember it worked pretty fine. You can try it or search for other app oout there.

You'll need 2way call recorder patched Kernel and root...!!! In short, use DoomKernel...!!!
GS2 can do that with Total Recall without root. How can Xperia S do so? I have to keep warranty. Thanks

There are many "call recorder"... Which developer's you are using?
Hi, i also cant find any app. Tried at least ten and none works? if someone have found one, link would be welcome!
I'm buy & using CallRecorder v1.2.7 all working properly.
My Xperia S is rooted ICS.
Try it!
I too had an app on my X10 that allowed for 2 way call recordings, I cant recall the name off the top of my head (perhaps it simply was Call Recorder). What I do recall was it had a very simple icon of a red dot on a black background; perhaps that may help someone.
Thanks.

Try that app, it works fine on my Acro S (which should be the same)
But I do remember that an older version on my Nexus used a lot of battery. Then again, everything on the Nexus did

[Q] viber mic low ,the other party barely heares me

I am on stock jellybean ,i cant use viber because the other party doesn't hear me well,the sound is low and distorted.
At the same time when i use viber on desire s the other party hears me excellent.There are no problems with normal calls. Is this problem on all s2 devices or is it rom related?

The other thing to look at is your phone reception. I've had trouble with viber because of a bad data connection. Same symptoms, it's just really hard to hear. If you do decide to root, try changing the modem to something with better data connection.

Hi,
This is Viber's rep.
I'm here to assist.
@nedst - Did you try to uninstall>reinstall Viber? Which Viber version do you have?
Does it happen on every call or only with specific contacts?
Thanks,

Wait do you mean after you installed the update ??
Cause I was talking about it intermittantly not responding.
Otherwise do this:
Follow this Settings==>Language and Input==>Default Keyboard==>Press (configure input methods) , Then turn on Google voice typing.
HTH
Just use swype for the voice to text.

Microphone not working out of a call

Hello XDA!
I'm having troubles with my Honor 7 and the microphone is part of them...
It only works on a phone call (which is nice) but doesn't work when I'm taking a video, trying to talk to Google Assistant or thing like that.
Do you know how I can solve my problem?
Thank you for helping me!

What are you using for taking vids? Stock or a downloaded app? Google asst. has been giving issues lately. Try updating the asst. via Google play. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. If that fails, grab an older version from apkmirror.

Could be a hardware issue. I recommend you uninstalling the google app...clearing cache...reboot. reinstall Google App and reboot again.

Sometimes, but Maybe you have too many apps running at once. When I'm in a call, my lte goes to h+...it's normal as you are using the ril

Why not try a factory reset before reinstalling stock firmware. It's easier and in a sense achieves the same as a reinstall.

Question Mic's not working!!!

MIC's NOT WORKING!!!
I'm using mojito with PE+ and realised that the microphone is not working with certain apps.
Like Recorder, Google Assistant.....
But it's working fine when I make calls or record video. So, definitely not a hardware problem.
Someone please help me.

I tried what you said. it started to work again perfectly with miui. but when I reflashed PE+, the issue came back exactly as before.
Same problem goes with me. In phone call its totally okay. But in telegram or messenger or whatsapp mic didn't work most of the time.
