Today i was recording a conference using audio recoder of an Alcatel One touch pop C7 with stock Kitkat Rom. The recorder app is the default one too.
Thing is, when i laid the phone on the table, it restarted and didnt save the audio file. Checking the files with a file explorer i notice that i have a m4a.tmp file related to that recording and it has 26MB. ( Since the recording time was not very long, i believe that all audio is there).
I read some posts here at xda and seached along the internet but no solution for this audio file
Can someone help me? It has to be possible to convert this file to be readable through some app or program at PC.
Thanks in advance

Hello all!
I'm facing a really weird issue here. I spent the last hour googling for it but no one really had a solution for it... here's the problem:
I record a video with my phone (running stock rom by the way). I can watch the video on the phone, it plays smoothly and everything.
So now I want to watch the video on the computer but it just doesn't work. Whenever I open the videos (WMP, VLC, etc) the video just freezes and I only hear the sound. It doesn't matter if I open up the video from the SD card, Internal Memory or if I copy it locally to my computer harddisc.
I tried playing around with the resolution settings on the phone (1920x1080, etc) but even on the lowest setting the video keeps freezing when I want to watch it on my computer.
Believe me, it's not the computer it has more than enough ressources and power to be able to play a Full HD video.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround for this problem? It would be highly appreciated...
Greetings from Switzerland.

Your PC needs the correct codecs to output the video files. Google for codecs.

Dude VLC Player is totally able to play MP4 files... it played ANY video file so far. Like I said, I really don't think it's a computer issue, I can play MP4 files on that machine... just not the ones from the phone...
Search XDA SGS2 somebody asked the exact same question . From memory the answer was the format used to record .

Already tried but I'll try again. Thanks!
EDIT: Just searched again but I didn't find the mentioned thread... anyone got hints?
Hope this is the right section...
I use the Samsung preinstalled audio recorder on my SGS2. It's a nice app, but when it crash, or when i put in pause a recording, instead of stopping it, and for any reason i connect the galaxy to the pc as mass storage memory, the unfinieshed recording file result in a corrupted .3ga file (to be exact, the file remain in the root of the memory with the following name: ".voice.3ga"). This file can't be played. And as a .3ga, i wasn't able to find a repair tool that works fine with this extension/codec. But i'm sure the audio file is stored in this ".voice.3ga", because it is 26 mb.
Did you ever experienced crashes of Samsung recorder during recording action? How can i recover the corrupted ".voice.3ga" file?
Please help me: it is an important recording!
No one can help???
Google /XDA search might help.
One such XDA post changed file name to .mp3

I tried google and xda search before opening this 3d: XDA is always my last chanche/resource, when i find nothing out there... I saw the 3d you are refferring to, but was not helpful: it wasn't about a corrupted .3ga file. I also tried changing the extension .3ga to .mp3 just to use mp3 repair tool (for example to delate the header and give a clean to the file), but it didn't work. Only a specific software that repair .3ga file can work (or, at least, a workaround to recover/close correctly the record on the Galaxy S2), but i found nothing until now.
Thanks for the info.
Still in trouble...
Same issue
Hi,
I am having the same problem. I recorded our concert last Saturday on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the standard recording application, which I have used many times before.
As usual the file has a .3ga extension and it is 100 Mo, which is realistic for about 2 hours of recording.
When I rename it on my computer to .3gp and try to play it with the VLC player, I can see that its length is 1 hour 57 minutes. But VLC does not play it. No error message.
I did the exactly the same procedure last Thursday and last Friday: I can read those previous recordings without any problem. so something went wrong with this last recording and I am trying to repair the file.
I have tried to convert the file to another audio format using a converter online : it did not work. The target file is empty.
I have also tried to repair the file by renaming it as .3gp and using a program called Video Repair with a reference file (the recording of the day before). No success. I get an error message with "movdump.exe".
So right now all my trials to repair this audio file have failed.
Has anyone already experienced this problem... and solved it?

I never found a solution for the corrupted files. Now i have SGS3, and seems to suffer of the same problem.
What i can suggest for the future recordings, to avoid this problem, is to ensure that the recording app is not in background, or at least that android "understand" that the recorder app must have priority in ram allocation. Because i think that is the lack of ram in this 2 devices (coupled with poor ram management by android OS) that cause the issue. So what can you do to minimize the issue?
1) if possible take the recorder app active (not in background)
2) if you need to put the appa in background, use the home buttone to go to the recent app, and tap on the recording app. Do this twice, and android will give an higher priority to the recording app, also if it at the end of this procedure you press "Home" and the recording app goes in backgroung. I guess that in such way android understand that when it reallocate ram from unused apps, it hasn't to recall it from recording app.
3) close telephone (better to close all connections) and mute the volume.
4) do not open (too many and too heavy) apps.
Sorry if i can't help more.....
I recently used a 'voice recorder app' to record some audio from a seminar.
The file is 3gpp, and 25MB.
All other recording work when played back except this one.
Any suggestions on a fix?
I had convert the original no-sound file to mp3 etc trying out other formats looking for a fix, it converts but still no sound on any.
Help/advice appreciated.
(Just to note; I recorded all via my S2 I9100, and four other files I recorded have no issues).

Sound just did not recorded properly
Hello, i hope i have an easy to answer question.
I am searching around now for quite some time to find where the recorded greeting audio file is saved from the integrated answering machine of the Z2.
I am rooted so it is no problem when it is saved somewhere in the normally inaccessible area. I just wan't to replace the recoded audio with an audio file that is not recorded over the phones microphone.
Has anyone already found that place?
Thanks in advance
I havent looked but if i was you id look for the app data for the phone app, settings, framework
Id even recoment looking through apks (open as zip)

Hello,
thanks for the reply. I just found the right place.
The files are saved under "/data/data/com.android.phone/files/am/greeting/"
The files are saved as Adaptive Multi-Rate (*.amr)
i did it the following way:
1) recorded an audio with approximately the same duration as my audio file i want to use.
2) downloaded the audio file to my pc
3) opened the audio file i want to use on my phone in audacity and made it the exact same length as my recorded audio.
4) saved my modded audio file as amr and saved it on the phone. (placed in the same directory and using the same name as the previously recorded audio)
I am not sure if the stuff with the same length is really needed, but the first time i tried it showed 0 seconds on the phone and didn't looked like it works. (but it might just be that i had the sound muted or something. )

Good to know,
Ill be putting this info in my info thread (you can find at the top of QnA)
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Replying here because this was one of the results that came up when I was looking for the same thing. In newer firmwares (6.0.1) the location has changed:
The greetings are now in /data/data/com.android.server.telecom/files/am/greeting.
Also when I created my own WAV file and converted it to AMR, even though it might sound okay on your xperia or on your PC, it will distort like crazy on the receiver's handset unless you reduce the maximum amplitude (volume) of the sound file to -12dB.
You could find it like this:
Code:
system/xbin/find / 2>/dev/null|grep -ie \.amr$ |sort -r|xargs ls -laFh
On my [email protected] path is:

Hello there! I've searched for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find anything. Similar threads were in this part of the forum, so I hope I've posted this in the right area.
I'm trying to upload a video that I've recorded using Snapchat as a story without rooting my HTC One. The video was recorded on the app, downloaded, and then sent as a one-time view video rather than added as a story at the time. This means the video resolution should be fine and that it doesn't need to be trimmed. I've had success sending the video again by:
- Recording a sample Snapchat video
- Using the Task Manager to swap to File Explorer
- Pasting my video into Snapchat's my_media folder
- Replacing the name of my video with the exact title of the sample video (including nomedia file extension)
However, when I try the same method for posting a story it shows my video on the app, but then says that it can't set the video as a Snapchat.
There's clearly something else that needs to be altered. There are sometimes sesrh_dlw prefixed files in the my_media folder with .mp4.nomedia extensions, but they can't be viewed as videos.
Does Snapchat take a note of the length and file size of the video and check whether it correlates when you try upload it as a story? And if so, why doesn't it do this when you send it as a one-time view video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it's very easy
You need to delete all the contents of the folder (mp4.nomedia and jpg.nomedia ).
Turn off the network and send a video to your history. Will be creat an file in the folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/my_media/). This is your history. Copy the new video to this folder and rename with the history's name.
Turn on the network and resend the history.
P.S. I don't speak English
Does that work for the Snapchat story? I know it works for when you send videos individually to people in your contacts but couldn't find a way to upload a video for everyone to see as a 'story'.
