[Q] App that turns off microphone AGC (Auto-Gain Control)?

While playing around with some recording apps I noticed that most recordings I got were too loud and distorted. I figured it had to do with some sort of an Auto Gain Control. I was right when I tried one app called "TapeMachine" which has an option to disable AGC and also has a mic gain control which is great. Once it disabled AGC the recording sound was much better. Clear and undistorted.
I understand that AGC is important for phone calls but it's terrible for recording audio and video. It would be nice to record videos with AGC off and I can't find an option to disable it in the system settings. Can't find an app that controls it either.
Does anyone know of an app that turns AGC on/off and have manual gain control?
Thanks!

Anyone reading these questions?

argh...
I will pay for an app that can disable the microphone auto-gain control!
Come on people, haven't you noticed recording stuff sound like crap?
The sound on recorded videos is just bad. And it's not because the microphone is bad, it's because the AGC is always enabled.
Try "TapeMachine" and hear for yourself. I'm not joking.
I think I'm not the only one who would be happy about a feature like that.

I searched around the mkt, and couldn't find anything other than recording apps, paid or free, that even mention the AGC either. Kinda surprising.

First of all I'm glad I was able to wake someone up around here. It seems like no one knows there is an AGC in Android, but "TapeMachine" definitely revealed that to me.
I did find someone mentioning the same issue on the Samsung Galaxy forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896826
You can even see the difference in the waveforms pictures he attached to the post.

Well, I have some technical information, but I can't do much with it because I'm not a programmer.
The programmer of an app called "Break Speed" uses a code in his app to disable AGC and he wrote me what the code he uses is.
Maybe someone can use this information to create an app that can disable AGC. This is what he wrote me:
I found that in Android 2.2 (and higher), they introduced an undocumented flag in the AudioRecord() class, called “VoiceRecogntionQuality”. In the code, there is a note to expose and document that flag (it just hasn’t been done yet.) So I expect that it is supported (and will continue to be.) My guess is that AGC was added to 2.2 and this is the flag that disables it.
Here’s the code I used to adjust my recordings for it:
// We use our version to attempt "VoiceRecogntionQuality" recordings (to disable AGC)
int version = Integer.parseInt(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK);
// Try to get the audio record for Android 2.2 and greater using 'voice recognition quality'
if (version >= 7)
{
recordInstance = new AudioRecord(6, m_frequency, m_channelConfiguration, m_audioEncoding, bufferSizeBytes * m_bufferCount);
}
// For older versions of Android (or failed attempts of the voice recognition quality recordings)
if (version < 7 || recordInstance.getState() == AudioRecord.STATE_UNINITIALIZED)
{
recordInstance = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, m_frequency, m_channelConfiguration, m_audioEncoding, bufferSizeBytes * m_bufferCount);
}

can we request the programmer you'd contacted to write a small app for us to just enable/disable AGC? We can assure him of buying some beer/coffee

heh, I already implied that in the email I wrote him, but didn't really get a response.
I posted here, because there are programmers around here also, but it seems people are ignoring this issue. If I knew how, I would make an app myself.

just use Voice_recognition as source and that's all

same problem here, I tried with your friend's solution (using 6 instead of AudioSource.MIC) but nothing changes... the waveform becomes even worse when the source produces powerful sounds.
Have you solved you problem?
ty

video, audio, mic input: solution!
:victorySP manager in CM10, no problem to control: the mic input - 4 levels. I can shoot videos with nice audio, for example a Rock Concert. :good:

Turn on the TapeMachine Recorder, minimize it and start recording on your camera while the app is running in the background. I have tried it and it works. The camera records with AGC disabled.

[APP][DEV]Moxee 0.3a (3rd Release) 11/09/2012 - (Steaming Video)

DELETED

Screens
...

Development Info
Possible future functionality:
Youtube: comments, annotations( I suspect that this can be done), description etc.
"Save video to sdcard";
RTMP video sources would be nice...(I'm not sure I can do this but will be thinking about ways)
Changes in 0.3a:
11/7/2012 Video transitions much shorter! DONE!
The process for video selection is rather long so I'm having the next video selected while the current video is playing. This cuts down on time between video's in most cases!
11/4/2012 Incorporation of YouTube related video's DONE!
Related video's on a random metric!
11/2/2012 Youtube video quality option. DONE!
This one took a little while. Had do deal with what was available on a case by case basis. Bonus: Revision3 video's obey the quality setting!
11/2/2012 Preserve last video and position for resuming. DONE!
This turned out to be pretty simple too. Just had to store some state info in the db.
This was much easier than I thought it would be!
11/2/2012 Provide "In App" button for settings. DONE!
This was much easier than I thought it would be!
10/25/2012 9 patched the background image for feed items. DONE!
I was hoping that 9 patching the background image would give me a more consistent look across multiple devices in the feed manager. It helped but not nearly as much as I would have hoped.
Changes in 0.2a:
10/16/2012 Stop Moxee from playing while the screen is off. DONE!
There was an issue where if you turned the screen off when Moxee was in a transitional phase, threads that were started before the screen was turned off would cause the app to continue to play videos. Terminating these threads have resolved the issue!
10/15/2012 Toggle fullscreen to access notifications. DONE!
This turned out to be a simple matter of adding and clearing window flags. Now when ever you see the onscreen display, you will have access to the notification bar!
10/15/2012 Worked out a few minor issues.
There was an issue were sources were not seen until they had been updated by the back-end.
Added thumbnails for sources in the feed manager.
There was an issue where if YouTube did not have a "medium" quality mp4 for any particular video it would error off.
Resolved a threading issue where if next was pressed at a particular time, there would be a discontinuity between the titlebar and the actual video playing.
Resolved a threading issue where the titlebar said it was "Loading when in fact it was playing a video.
10/13/2012 Making setting available to those without physical menu button. DONE!
According to the information provided here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11702831/android-best-way-to-let-user-access-preference-activity) putting a menu option called "Settings" in the menu will cause ICS and above to show the 3 dot soft settings button. We shall see!
Well as it turns out that if you lower your build target(ei gingerbread), ICS (and above) will auto detect and put soft settings button in the action bar. However, lowering the build target caused problems with the latest Google ads jar so I had to revert to a lower version of that, but It's all working now!! I just need to make sure that the ads are really working.

Works fairly well on my Sprint GS3 running 4.1.1.
Main problem, plays after turning the screen off.
Would love to be able to turn to portrait to get access to notifications without stopping the video.
Nice work

Running well on my Xoom (4.1.2).
It would be nice to be able to get to the original source of the video somehow, however I kind of like that you can't as it saves your from becoming distracted and not actually watching anything all the way through. In that respect it really is like watching old analogue TV.
Edit - Menu not available on the Xoom due to the lack of a dedicated (physical) menu button.

Thanks for giving my app a try! I have reproduced that it does play with the screen off and I will be working on that one. I don't think that I'm prepared to allow the app into portrait mode but what I will work on is the option to take it out of full screen mode so users will have access to the notification bar.

Thanks so much for testing on your Xoom! I suspected that the lack of a physical menu button might be a problem. I suppose it would be best to make my own buttons for those functions. When you say, original source of the video, I'm not sure what you mean, but I am considering a "download this video" button for the future and even a "cache these video's overnight" kinda thing...

You're welcome, also tested on my SGSII (CM10 4.1.2) and running fine there too.
When I said original source I meant for example being able to get to a video on YouTube or wherever it originally came from in case someone wanted read the comments or get some background info etc...

Very watchable. It's not really any different to the quality it would be on YouTube, obviously some things that were uploaded in a lower resolution may not scale up to the larger screen size so well but I won't hold you responsible for that...

I have a few devices I'll test on for you. All U.S. devices. HTC Sensation 4G, SGS2 T989, Galaxy Note 10.1, and if the app will be compatible I also have a Motorola Charm, Motorola Cliq2, and an older MyTouch 3G. I'll let you know how they all perform though. Thanks for the app, and it's a great idea and piece of software.

Just tested it on an 7 inch tablet. Looks great,
but I only see 3 buttons... Where's the Menu key?

If you 7 inch tablet has Gingerbread then, I think, it should have a hardware menu button. If you 7 inch tablet has honey comb or above there should be a "3 dot" software button in the bottom bar, next to the 3 buttons on the left. If however, your 7 inch tablet has no hardware button and is running gingerbread or below, that is the case where there would be a problem
If this is the case, let me know, and I'll put it on the list for 0.3a :good:

WhatsApp sound problem

Whenever I send an audio note (by holding down the microphone icon), in Whatsapp ... the audio seems to come out in a low volume. When I play my own recording back on my phone, I have to pump up the media volume to the max to hear myself at a decent level. The other party on the other end seems to find the audio low in volume as well.
The strange thing is, if I create an audio file with the built in Sound Recorder, and then share that to Whatsapp, it's loud and clear. It's not like my microphone is broken. Audio records fine in all other circumstances.
I know many friends thats happen the same with same phone

Just tried this out on a Snapdragon 800 Note 3 running 4.3. I am unable to replicate the issue, however the quality is noticeably worse than what it would be if I used the built in sound recorder. This is because WhatsApp compresses what you are sending though, which might be what you are experiencing.

It might just be worth re-installing WhatsApp? It could be an error caused by a recent update that only manifests when you update from an older version.

I've changed my mind, I agree with you, the audio quality is awful. This is obviously an issue with the WhatsApp application, but as I state before I'm now 100% sure it's the audio compression, it doesn't work well. It sounds like I'm underwater!

Will do, the more people we can get to report this the quicker the issue should be solved.
Furthermore, if you use Snapchat have you noticed that you cannot record video for the full amount of time? It cuts it around 5 seconds short, you might not use it but it's just something I've noticed.

I received a confirmation email, telling me to look at the FAQ and if required to provide additional information. Since neither the WhatsApp FAQ held any related information and I provided all the details I know of, I thought there's no further action required.
I attached a voice recording sample in my first inquiry, which lead to whatsapp.zendesk.com. I quickly created an account (in my case just requested a password), verified my mail address and was able to see my request.
It was in the status "Awaiting your response >>" *head against the wall* ... So I sent another note, this time in English (sent the first in German language). Let's see what happens next.

That's great! The more people report the issue, the higher the chances of getting some attention.
Have you sent a second mail after receiving the initial "Request receipt" confirmation? Apparently if one doesn't, the ticket is placed in status "Awaiting your response".
I doubt it will be processed but closed automatically after after a few days, if no further reply is received, because one of the three suggested FAQ topics supposedly solved your problem, it was 'just' a feature request or whatever ideas are behind the way of handling email requests that way. At least that's what my experience with other support sites / help-desks has taught me...

7 days ago, on Feb 7th I received another email from WhatsApp support. Unfortunately it was a busy week and I managed to reply just yet. The ticket was again placed in "Awaiting your response"...
I will continue to post my experiences with the WhatsApp support team in the Sony Xperia Z1 area of the forum.

This has been fixed now, WhatsApp acknowledged the issue and have repaired it.

Can't turn off Camera shutter / Screenshot sound

Since yesterday after I played a whatsapp voice message, I can't turn off the camera shutter and Screenshot sound, even though I have my phone in complete silent mode!
Did anyone ever have this problem with their 6p or know any solution to turn off those sounds?
I allready restarted the phone, uninstalled the camera updates and reinstall from the play store, went into the settings to make sure I was in silent mode, still nothing works!
Any help is much appreciated!

I think that Google's intent was to prevent non-determined creeps from taking "upskirt" shots and other related idiocies. You have to delete/rename some file, I think it was /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg or some such. This needs root.

It's illegal in South Korea (and many countries) for any mobile phone maker to sell a phone that allows a user to silence the faux shutter sound on their mobile phone cameras. You'll need to download a custom ROM that allow them to be silenced, or delete the sound like the above posted said.

Question Enable Auto Phone Call Recording

Hello to everyone,
I hope someone could help me, i need to record any phone call that i make/receive, the phone should record the call without messages to the caller about the phone call is recorded.
Did someone can tell me how can i do this? i have seen that one option is to root the device but if someone have other suggestion is better for me than root the device.
I have also tried this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/ but use the microphone so sometimes there are very noise.
Bye

Yes. I am in the same situation. The only things I can think of are, 1. A call recorder app. or, 2. Using a different dialer, say from a Oneplus phone. But I'm still looking into it. I have been using a call recorder app that seems to work somewhat okay but not that great.

I Hope Simeone could help US..
I have also seen that changing the phone app Is not the solution because some apps uses CSC

That's good to know because I was going to try it. The thing is, depending on what version you have, call recording is built in. So that tells me that all variants could have it built in maybe ? Not sure but I am continuing to do research when I have the time.

Yes, I think that every android phone have this functionality, the problem is that phone app use CSC to enable o not, this is what I have understand

I know that on some newer OnePlus phones you can change the dialer to get call recording. I would think that the Nothing Phone would be similar but at this point I'm totally unsure.

In India you can legally record calls. I wonder if the dialer from those ROMS would world on the global versions.

@rogerrulez, i don't know if the dialer of the indian phone it's unlocked or if check also the CSC of the phone....

We could try this:
Enable Native Call Recording + OP Stock Dialer on OnePlus 10 Pro
Hi guys, Just upgraded from OP7T to OP10 Pro as a European user. Call recording functionality does not come with the device here. Had native call recording enabled on my OP7T through jOnePlus Tools and the likes. Jtools Oneplus does not install...

I tried to install it already but it won't install. Says phone needs to be rooted. But now that I'm thinking about it, I did install that app on a non rooted oneplus 7t before. Just have to give it permission via ADB. I think i might try it again and see if I can get it to install..
Correction. I tried to install just the joneplustools. This one is different.

Yeah, the joneplus tools says: can't install on this device. This app says: "something went wrong. Can't install app".

@rogerrulez
Damn... so i think the last chance is to root the device, but for now i don't want and i still to use the SKVALEX app...
Please keep me updated if you find a way to do this :-D

Not really. I do have two apps installed that are recording calls pretty good ! One of them I installed from Google play called Call recorder. And the other one is one that I came across in one of the posts for the Nothing phone. I have both running at the same time and both are recording calls pretty good. However, I would rather have the inbuilt option.

I'm from Italy and have Nothing Phone for a couple of weeks now so I may be missing something.
I've tried ACR, a well thought app for call recording, but unfortunately it doesn't record bluetooth calls (earphone or car's) so as a couple of other apps. I guess it's a problem that every third party app is having, given Google policy.
So, I'm using the Google phone app call recording utility (upper right corder three dots > settings > call recording). This option has popped out the first time I put in the sim card. I suppose everyone can access this option but with Google you never know...
This makes available a button on the phone screen, a switch between call recording and not recording. Actually, it's only manageable when the call is started and it's available switching in the second screen of the app.
Overall it works pretty well, even on Bluetooth calls. The calls are accessible via the call log history and can de saved. The only drawdown is that you have to put a meaningful name to the file when saving it.
What drives me CRAZY is that it doesn't have the option to ALWAYS record the calls. Apparently, it's an available option (Google has a help page dedicated: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9803950?hl=en) but not for the Italian version. Or at least for my version
Does anyone know if and how I can make it a permanent choice? I don't want to manually switch it every time...
Any help is very appreciated

You could use MacroCroid. It can press the button for you and fill in the name for you too. You need a fair amount of time to set it up but it would work good.

Thanks for the tip! I thought the same and tried something similar yesterday (Tasker and another app, forgot the name) but gave up for the amount of time needed!
Going to try MacroCroid anyway, hopefully it's a little bit less complicate
Thanks again

I wanted to thank you - it has worked and it's not been a nightmare!

You might like to share the macro you build here and change the title to [Solved] enable auto phone call recording
I love to help, have fun!
