[Q] Disable 2nd mic (noise cancellation) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, when im trying to send some voice notes over Whatsapp it sounds terrible, I know that this is a common issue with the G2 so i'm trying to disable the 2nd mic to see what happen. I'm using Cloudy g3 2.0, but as far as I tried others it's not a Rom problem.
When I record using the built in record app everything is good, sounds clear, I tried using another apps that let me choose wich Mic to use (top mic or bottom mic) and it sounds good. I found in XDA some trick (here) editing the Build.prop but i think that thats only for Samsung.
It says that i have to edit from "media.a1026.enableA1026=1" to "media.a1026.enableA1026=0". but my lg g2 doesn't have that options.
Can someone help me out?
thanks!

Anyway to disable the second MIC for Whatsapp?

Hangout Seriously needs fixing

So the Nexus 10 should be a good device for making Google Hangouts calls or Google Talk. But every time I use it I get such a bad experience.
I want to use the speakers on the device but when I do either the other side cannot hear me or they get an echo, or sometimes I just cannot hear them. If I use head phones it is fine, but that is not the point. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I don`t think it a softwarebug, i think it's a hardwarebug. Try any software, where you choose front and rear mic, and you will see, that the front mic record really bad quality and extream weak. good luck...
I don't think it is. When you search using voice it is perfectly fine. Whenever there is any type of sound coming out of the device speaker it is somehow inputting that into the microphone and that this something which a software update can sort out.
Another work around is to attach a loud speaker through the 3.5mm jack. When you do that you do not get an echo being presented back to the user you are talking to.

I obtain a similar result as you. Not exactly the same. When I hear some body througt hangout-gtalk I hear him faltering and with very low sound. The work arround I did is:
It's behaviour is the same with gtalk video call.
With Skype works perfectly, so it isn't hardware issue. Please try it to corroborate. In didn't try with Tango, we should.
With headphones works perfect bidirectionally, but it demostrates nothig i think.
I think the problem is on echo cancelator applied on these apps.
What is your oppinion?
The geniuses at Google have the rear microphone as the default microphone for skype and hangouts...
We have an open ticket for it on the support pages, but they never fixed the issue in 4.2.2

But with skype works right for me, and you? Could you please attach link about your ticket to have a look.
I hope with new Key lime prime they do a apps comunication unification and fix it.
Tango is not working for me. Very choppy receiving audio and sending it back. Almost like a real bad speakerphone where the two callers are always "stepping on" each other.
This is my second N10 and I recall the first one working much better with Tango. I also added a case to this one when I got it, so maybe that's impacting it as well?

[Q] Disable noise cancelling mic?

is there a way to do this in the build prop or something? i'm experimenting with teh awful audio in the video camera and i want to see if it's the noise cancelling mic that's really screwing everything up.
i'm also looking to try to change the gain, anyone know how to do that?
I don't have an answer to your question, but have you considered the placement of your hand when recording? It seems to me that it would be easy to muffle the sound by accident.

My guess is if you open the phone app and hit the menu key and then call settings. from there scroll down to noise suppression and uncheck it.
Not sure there is a way to disable it in video though.

yeah, i read that android usually has different ways to use noise cancellation, like the nexus 4 has a diff classification for video and then voice.
also, I put my phone down on a tripod so it's not my hand placement. it's the bad mics in the phone.

Fix-ish
Jishnu made a mod that mods with the mixer path, i have tried it but the noise cancellation mic is still a little bit on. I'm using Xdabbebs camera mod so i hope he will fix this problem, heres the mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706943
I've also seen people on youtube recording without the noise cancellation mic but he doesn't show how, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NoxMTxiFvo
If you found a fix, please let me now:good:

did anybody find a solution for this, all my video recordings of my baby are horrible, literally unusable!! :grrr:
I take it it's still not been fixed then, ffs it's absolute ****, I'm sure the Mic software it's geared up for 3 mics and LG haven't realised the 802 only had 2

[Q] Using Wrong Mic During Speaker Calls

Hey guys, whenever I'm in a call with the Dialer app/Skype and switch to speakers, why does it use the mic at the top of the phone (the one for noise cancellation I believe) and not the one at the bottom?
I'm using the latest OMNI rom version.

Well maybe because the speaker is quite near to the lower mic and the person on the video call will get to hear his own voice too while you enable speaker mode.
Thank me if I helped

[HELP] Bad audio in recorded videos

Ok so i bought my d802 a couple months ago, and everything is working fine except the audio while recording video. If i record anything quiet its alright, but if i record a concert or just me playing the guitar, the sound gets kinda really quiet and seems like it was really far away or underwater. This is really a big issue for me because i do a lot of covers and stuff. I had the exact same problem on my Nexus 4
I'm using a CloudyG3 2.2 ROM, but it was the same thing on stock unrooted.
Are there any tweaks/mods that can fix this issue? Thanks
Bump
So, i cant fix this?
The only way i found is app called XCam LG Settings. You can find it on Google Play.
Inside the app turn OFF Audio Noise Gate.
But it has two minuses:
1. Audio channels will be inverted (if you hold the phone normally i.e camera buttons from the right side)
2. Not free (2$).
