Noticed the skype app runs ok, but doesn't like the microphone input, sounds overdriven and noisy, unusable. I have all EQ and noise reduction setting off.
This was in a quiet environment.
Hope its just a minor tweak needed, the test call receive audio was excellent.
I observed this too.
Mine too. Hope someone reports this so they will fix it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Thanks for the confirmations.
Skype Devs... help!
Skype is unusable for me as well due to this.
Skype is absolutely not usable for me. Other party only hears noise and nothing else. Waiting for a fix ASAP coz this is one of the main features I been looking for.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix Skype on the atrix? This is a pretty major screw up on their part...
Has anyone tried Skype with the second microphone disabled?
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support and their answer is that they don't support Skype and suggested using Qik instead. Doesn't seem like they plan on making any fixes for it as of now.

And how can we do that?
In settings / call settings / noise suppression.

Does not help.
In fact ALL VOIP apps i tried simply do not work.
Motorola really messed this up. i tried cSipsimple, spidroid, fring, tango, Skype, line2....nothing works like it should.
Has anyone tried using a microphone through the headphone jack? This way we can find out where the error is.
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:
"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?
Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.
Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix
I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?
any time frame of this update?

It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.
Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.

i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.
is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.
Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

I am sure that many of you have had the chance to play with the video-chat sessions of GTalk in 2.3.4.
I have noticed that when someone is speaking on the other end and I start to reply, my sound is not delivered (likely because my mic cuts out).
In other words, if there is a situation where both parties are talking, only the sound from the other party is picked up.
Has anyone else seen this? Are there any fixes?
Bump. Lots of views and no replies.
Am I the only one experiencing this GTalk strangeness or is nobody checking?
1. I haven't seen anything posted but I could have sworn there was a link somewhere to a modified flash player that allowed netflix to work on the TB?
2. Also is there ANY WAY to get Netflix, Pandora, or ANY application to do video output to any Pioneer deck?
If not, OK, is there a way to use the TB or ANY android phone as a GPS nav with a Pioneer for example? The deck connects to an ipod/iphone directly and allows you to output video from apps including MotionX GPS which works great!
3. Verizon is the FIRST provider I have been with that has had this issue but if you are on the phone with two people and try and end one call it actually kills both calls and SOMETIMES redials the last person you were speaking to. It doesn't always work unforunately. They claim it affects all phones but the iPhone 4 I have I haven't had that issue on. I was on with tech support for over an hour trying to get them to understand the problem, then they acknowledged it was a defect in the phone that was not fixable. THEN they said it was a network limitation with Verizon.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hi guys!
As the titles says, does anybody knows any good/working Call Recorder for Droid?
I have tried some of them and got none working. I always get a metallic noise sound once I try to play my recorded call.
All I would like to get is:
- Show a record button on my call screen, so I can record this call or not.
- Dont care about Speakerphone, its even better if does not turn my speakerphone on.
- Free or paid, I dont care, as long as it works
Thank you very much!!!
Any help will be appreciated.
why do you want to record a phone call?
Man, I had so many problems with companies here.
Once happened when they called me, asked me about a service and I decided to get it cause was a good deal. Once I have got the bill, the value was higher then it was supposed to.
So lets say I am not lucky with this and I just want to make sure I have recorded calls when needed

any working call recorder for our ICS droid razr ? tried a few from google play but none worked
Has anybody else received this message when attempting to record video on a P6 Pro? I've had this problem for months and a Google search yields only one result of the same problem, with no solution. Posting to Google's help got no replies. It happens fairly frequently, I will attempt to start recording a video, then get an overlay saying, "Can't record audio. Microphone is off or in use." There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and the only surefire way to make it go away is to restart my phone...until it does it again. I have noticed that it seems to happen whenever I've recently used Whatsapp for anything at all (not even using the mic), but it also just does it when I'm intentionally avoiding Whatsapp in hopes of recording usable videos.
I'm at my wits end and to me this seems like a software issue of the microphone permission being held hostage by another program but if I can't even get an acknowledgement of the issue then I'm not sure how it's supposed to be fixed...
I would post a screenshot but it doesn't seem to want to let me post both text and images in the same post...
