Ya, I've been waiting for his 2nd video. It's one of the more comprehensive reviews of this awesome device.

Thanks for sharing! Finally a decent review on youtube! It helps making the decision to wait it out a little bit longer. I hope he's right on the price part too!

Interesting how he calls it "very intuitive" when there have been people saying its sooo confusing because its not like the Ipad
Outstanding overview, thanks for the link. Except now, of course, I'm even more anxious to get one.

This was the first time I've seen the device with the keyboard attached being used. I can definitively say that I will be buying the dock... If it ever arrives on US soil. With me not having a laptop it should prove useful.
He just posted a new video about the Polaris software.

Just watched some of the first video. Shame it's so quiet. I wish google would normalise all the audio on videos uploaded to youtube. Just wanted to comment on a few things he said:
-The @Vibe app is for music and streaming radio, not for games, in the UK. Might be different for other countries.
-It's not lightweight. Lighter than other devices but its still not light.
-You get bad stuttery 1080p mkv's if theyre not encoded properly.
-That green screen camera thing is fixed in the latest firmware.
-The refresh rate of the video recording is bad. So is the fps of any video you record. Hopefully it will get fixed. It's meant to do up to 1080p @30fps.
-The playback and quality of the video streaming via Splashtop is ridiculously good as he says. I was surprised.
-He's also right about needing to have several apps to play various files. Feels odd to switch between them to play different formats but its not a problem.
Nice to see the dock in action. Cant wait to get mine.

Just an offtopic note: normalising wouldn't help in most cases (one high peek in the whole video will make the sound very quiet even normalised). Making sound louder would in most cases require compression and limiting which is not always wanted and can't be done properly by a machine only (if you want to know more - read about loudness war and audio mastering on Wikipedia). Normalising could also be very bad for videos recorded in silence - you would hear every background noise that was recorded very loudly.
Splashtop looks very interesting. It's a shame it's only for Macs and Windows (I would like to use it on Ubuntu).
Great detailed review. Just watched both part 1 and 2 and has reassured me that this is definitely the tablet I want. All of the negatives that I read on Engadget or Techradar can't remember which it was seem to be non existent in the video as they said it lags quite noticeably behind touch which it didn't really show and looks like it's going to be a great tablet with lots of future potential. Can't wait to save up and get one which looks to be at around the time stock will be back in with all the delays lol

Hi, Sorry, I should have adjust the volume of the video before I uploaded it, thanks for pointing that out.
@Vibe is like an entertainment center, it has Books, games, and Musics, at least that's how it is in Taiwan, not sure about other country.
and you are right, the video recording is really slow and hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Thanks for pointing out the firmware update, I've yet to update mine, will do and see if anything else is different.
Best,
andyxover
Hello everyone
when I watch a video recorded by arc I hear a massive amount of noise, and the sound is messed up, for ex, I recorded a video of my car revving from arc and my old phone, you do the comparison.
I want to know if my phone is faulty or not.

my old phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDCkVicVyg
I also got a similar issue..I got a video but the video image and the sound dont match with each other.like the sounds play ahead of the video..This happened in HD mode

yep, that happens a lot in my phone.
OMFG... seriously.. have you never heard of the SEARCH function...???
SEARCH BEFORE CREATING A NEW THREAD.. IT'S FORUM RULES.
What MrIceman is trying to gently say is:
It is a known issue and we are all hoping that a software fix will be released within the next few weeks ( hopefully not months )
Cheers
I come from Poland, and I'm not good speak in English therefore, the following translation of google translate :
I moved a tiny microphone test in our SP and according to me is really good. Only when I pushed the speaker phone was distortion, even though it can feel good bass Feel free to subscribe and feet up! : D

Ha! You made me laugh
I have tested mic from Xperia SP many times. For speak recordings its ok, but for music? It's... maybe not disaster, but not good. I dont know exactly what you mean by "really good" and "good bass", but for me? With internal mics (as I know SP has two microphones) its quite bad. I haven't tested it yet with headset, but better quality I get on my old LG GT540. Low tones are very rattling (I dont know exactly if that's right word, I'm from Poland too ) First I though thats speakers fault, but same issue on TV and Home Cinema Its impossible to watch movies recorded with XP where was loud music (especially with a lot of low tones) on sth else than Xperia herself.
And. Please. Code links

hi mate, if i plug an external handset for the audio recording the phone will use the handset mic or the ****ty internal microphones?
And quality would be better?
Thanks.

i tried and the result is that the phone use the external mic, so now the question is to find a smaller and compact external mic to plug in to record videos in parties and concerts...

Smaller and compact external mic.... Better... just by a camera. You can pay for good compact mic more than a mid-end camera.

i found the Edutige EIM 001, is similar to the edutige fro Go Pro & Go Pro 2, it cost around 20 euros, it sound really good, i think i'm gonna buy it, check out videos online.
It has signal noise ratio of 60db, really good for a compact mic...
Hi all
Did not come across any threads about this yet, surprisingly!
I was recording video out in a nightclub, and was very disappointed to find that the music sounded horrible. Never had such problem on my HTC one when recording at concerts or clubs.
Here is the link of the video, I uploaded on youTube
http://youtu.be/SMpa7rumrHY
Otherwise, the OnePlus has been awesome so far!
Trance family, you listen to Markus Schulz? Love trance! Sucks about the sound, you on stock app?
Sound quality in general when it comes to recording nightclubs/gigs/concerts are pretty bad with the bass etc etc.
Not to mention "Turn It Up" is a song that involves a lot of bass and drops.
Try it in a closed atmosphere like at home and test the quality of the sound.
Ensure audio codec is AAC as well.

haha yeh man love markus Schulz! one of my fav trance DJs
yeh stock camera app, running 33R stock and Franco 20 kernel.
I noticed this as well. I really doesn't take a lot to distort the audio with OPO (and surprisingly when I had my Samsung Note 2 and ran a CM based rom I had this problem as well, using stock samsung camera / rom not a problem).
Not sure if this is phone related or just the camera app/rom combo.
I do have a sub in my car but I have recorded clearly with my old Note 2 but OPO it distorts like a mofo. It's quite embarrassing.
Bad mic

Damm thats a bad mic...it sounds horrible
I wanted to make the switch from the m7 too,but i do record sometimes at concerts and clubs...And the htc m7 does this perfect.
So this is a no go for me this oneplus one,A pitty):
The early m7s had dual membrane mics specifically for recording in very loud concert environments. Some supply issue came up with the manufacturer and they had to stop supplying to htc because of nokia.

Yep I remember that when the M7 came out, it was a bit of a fuss!
Ah familiar issue.
Went to a party last week and recorded some videos, as soon as the bass drops you only hear crackling noises on the video.
Friend recorded with his iphone and the recorded audio sounded a LOT better.
I also tried to cover the microphone to see if that helped but it made no difference.
Known Bug
That's a known issue.
Have a look at the Cyanogenmod JIRA Ticket No. BACON-64
If you are registered there, please give it a vote, so it will soon be fixed.
has anybody found a fix for this? will changing to a different rom solve the problem? cyanogen just dont wanna fix this problem. its been a reported bug for ages now. even before the OPO.
I m also facing the same problem, please let us know if anyone find a fix
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
This problem can be fixed with the Boeffla-Kernel for OPO, but they need the technical documentaion of the "WDC9320" audio codec.

Does somebody know whether it for it already a solution has given?
Found this on the OP forums
Code:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/audio-clipping-in-loud-environments.108129/
:
"So ive tried heaps of things to try and fix this bug, one thing that may have worked is downloading this free app from the app store
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grace.microphone&hl=en
and setting mic gain to 0. i have done this and the audio quality has increased 100% and is comparable with the iphone."
Most likely a ****ty mic on the oneplus, nothing to do with the software.
HTC one uses unlicensed mic from Nokia,which is far superior.
Bump
Does anyone know whether this bug is present in Oxygen OS or not?

Yeah i also had the same issue last week
Hello. Last weekend I was in a club with a bunch of friends. One of them have iPhone 6 and other LG G3. Both recorded some scenes and the music and sound was so clean, with no problems. I recorded it too, and when the bass hits, the mic collapses and it sounds very bad. Is that a general issue or is it just mine? Thank you and sorry for my english.
I'm a drummer and tried to record myself with my Opt, same problem.

I see it's common, many people have problems with that. I've just sent my OPT to Oneplus for a RMA and hope they fix it or I'll be very upset. It costs 345€ and it's few money compared to samsung and apple or even lg g5, but it's still 345€. They don't give it for free
