Do your Oneplus microphone collapse? - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Video sound quality - pretty bad

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.

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.

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

This problem can be fixed with the Boeffla-Kernel for OPO, but they need the technical documentaion of the "WDC9320" audio codec.

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.

Yeah i also had the same issue last week

So... How about them front facing stereo speakers!

I see tons of threads on a ton of topics, everyone interested in fast charging, fast updates, fingerprints, Type C USB ports, but is anyone add excited as me to have some front facing stereo speakers?
After playing with an HTC One a few years ago I've wanted a phone with them so bad, but couldn't go back to HTC after the Rezound.
Imagine, no more cupping your hands around one side or the other to try to make the sound come to the front. Stereo sound instead of in mumbled mono mess out of one speaker.
Come on, somebody else has to be excited about this right!
Post any hands on's you can find about them talking about the stereo speaker quality or your personal experience with Front Facing Speakers on a phone.
I think a lot of us are coming from the Nexus 6, which also had front facing stereo speakers. After having them, there's no way I could go back to a rear facing speaker.
I have a Nexus 6 and a HTC M8 as backup.. IMO the Nexus 6, after switching to a custom ROM, delivers better sound..
If the Nexus 6p is the same or better, I'm more than happy..
Having just got my lg g3 I was so in love I skipped the Nexus 6. Lucky bastard. Lol
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I just hope the Nexus 6P does not have the normalizing audio problem that the Nexus 6 has... If so those nice front facing speakers won't mean squat.
After having a nexus 6 and a moto x pure(style 2015 - returned), I hope the same thing as the poster above. However, I will say that the issue with the pure is 100% a normalization and gain issue. In the pure you get this bad crackle at the end from the gain being set too high. I think this was done on motorola's side. Luckily with the dev on this phone I'm almost certain that defect will be non-existent or at lease fixable thanks to xda devs and others around the world.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't care.
I would actually prefer the speakers on the edge to leave the face clean and reduce the overall size.

I returned a X Pure as well but mine had 0 speaker issues. The front facing speakers were AMAZING! So amazing that I overlooked them after the first few hours and it just felt like that's how all phone speakers are to be configured LOL. It sounded so good that I hardly used my Galaxy Tab S and consumed most of my media on the X Pure because I didn't need to use headphones and they sounded so good just playing out, so I'm hoping the 6P at least equals this. This also makes your ringtones sound really good if you choose an MP3 but notifications can be quite loud if you don't configure their volume adequately.

This! Was one of the big selling points to get the Nexus 6! I now could not be without them!!
I think they are nice but if I'm listening to something it's usually on my Bluetooth speaker regardless. So nice but it's not a big deal for me.
Least important feature on the phone. Nothing is more annoying than some schrute on the train watching something on his phone with his front facing speakers blasting. Nobody wants to listen to your stuff. I'll stick with headphones personally. Sound is light years better and I'm not annoying anyone.
Coming from an xperia with great stereo speaker, I hope i'll not be disappoint.

Eh, If I want to show videos to friends at home I'll cast it to my TV. I don't need 4 people hovering over me. Thats my personal feeling though, and I was referencing the train. Blast em to your hearts content at home people!
After having the nexus 6, it's a feature I've stopped noticing. However, if I lost it it would be VERY apparent. I'm glad they kept it going.
I ordered the 5x thinking it had front facing stereo speakers.
Found it didn't - cancelled order - got the 6p.

For sure. I'm using my crappy S4 in the meantime until the 6P gets here, and I can't stand having the speaker facing the back.

Background noise when recording video in silence

Hello boys,
Is all this background noise normal when recording video in complete silence???

I didn't notice until today, but I had not tried it before either. Normal recording with voice or music in the background is perfectly ok.
Thank you.

The intermittent buzzing(I think it actually sounds like a cat purring) is the auto-focus on the camera. It appears that every Nexus 6p has this issue in some capacity.
Here is a video I recorded demonstrating what I'm talking about.
When I noticed the issue an hour or so ago I started researching it myself and saw some videos others have recorded and posted of the problem and honestly it doesn't seem like it is as bad as it seems. The noise itself is very hard to hear if there is any background noise. I recorded my video in silence, so the "purring" is very audible, however in your video and others I could barely hear it, and that was while also listening for it.
In fact in my video I can't hear that clicking noise. I will try sometime doing the same test you did.
The reason of the thread was the general noise that you can hear at the background all the time. I ordered a replacement but it had the same noise, so I assume it's completely normal and I returned it since the screen of my first phone was, I think, better.

LG V20 Speaker Comparison

So I've had my (T-Mobile variant) V20 for a little over a day now and I can already tell it will be an easy 2-year phone. I came from a (T-mobile) G5.
Since I haven't sold my G5 yet, I decided to do a head-to-head comparison. The V20 won in every aspect except for 1 area. It lagged behind my G5's speaker.
I was shocked honestly because I just assumed LG would use the exact same speaker for the V20 as they had in the G5, or a better one.
My findings were that the G5's speaker is quite loud, open, and has a fair amount of depth and bass for a single bottom-firing speaker.
The V20 on the other hand is a tad quieter, slightly muffled (when compared to the G5), and doesn't have as much depth/music layer separation.
So if anyone else has these 2 phones and wants to confirm for me that I have a properly working V20 speaker, please compare them.
Thanks!
My V20 (H918TN) has a significantly better bottom-firing speaker than my LG G5. Both are running stock sound profiles.

HA! just let me say something that i know you wont believe but anyway i wil say it. I can put music in my LG V20, leave it inside the room with the volume to the maximum, go outside the room, the room with door closed, walk away 17 long step and i can still hear some of the music yet. I had the Galaxy s5 and i couldnt achieve that, The device that get closer to such power of the V20 is the LG G3 ( from the devices currently own of course, and the ones i have owned too). I even went to the bathroom and could still hear it LOL the bathroom is 12 long steps away and it is an extra door added

Wow! I do believe you, I can do that with my G5, but for some reason not my V20. I wonder if it has to do with the T-Mobile variant? Or maybe I have a bad unit...

probably a bad unit. I have listened to spotify and pandora music since 2011, and none of the devices i have tried have sounded like this
I have to say mine, which is also the T-Mobile variant is also on the more quiet side. I have to keep it about 75% in order to listen using YouTube for example.
Well I decided to hop on over to my local T-Mobile and compare the speaker on the floor model V20 with mine and they sound the same, volume and all. So I guess it's not defective? Maybe I'll just wait for root and boost the speaker volume
I can't help you - but wanted to say coming from a long run with samsung phones, note 3, 4 and 7 - the speaker in this V20 is very adequate. And the sound through the headphone jack - AMAZING. I will never settle for a crappy sounding phone again. Samsung should be listening.
I have the same problem. When i received a call until i just swap cards from G5 i thought that volume is completely down or it's just bugged ringtone. After that i realized that sound is unbelievable terrible quality and very quiet. Comparing to G5 which had amazing sound quality, coming to this ****ty quality i am just not sure that i want to keep the phone. I become pissed off with ****ty quality every time i receive a call.
Compared to my old nexus 6p
Speaker sound with v20 is bad. Really bad
Same experience comparing my V20 to my G3.
G3 sounds more cleaner. I think it has to do with the way the speaker is not flushed to the body of the phone resulting a not so rich sound. It definitely has the power though. Just a bad design.
I just got mine 3 days ago and my speacker is loud better than my note 3

Nexus 6P has dual front facing speakers. Of course it's not going to compare.
Coming from many years with Samsung Note 3, 4 & 7 - the speaker on the V20 is very impressive as long as your not blocking it with your hand or finger.
I'll never buy another Samsung phone unless they do something with the horrible sound. Even with a good set of headphones plugged in the Samsungs sound like crap compared to any HTC phone or the V20.

[Video] Any way to stop mic clipping in loud environments? - Such as a live band?

I play in a band....When I record us playing live, or other bands, it doesn't distort, but there is a horrible clipping noise that sounds like a "quack" or "quirk" noise when the audio threshold is breached. It was like this on MM and I was hoping Nougat would be better, but there is no change.
On my last 5 phones, this NEVER happened (Nexus 6p, Moto X Pure, Galaxy S7 Edge, S6, and HTC One M9). Actually, I haven't really had this problem since 2013. My other band members iPhones are perfectly clear as well.... But my recordings are virtually useless due to this horrible noise every few seconds. Regular, everyday stuff is fine - it's just loud band settings.
Anyone know of anything that might help? I'm on the stock ROM, but rooted if I need to change anything?
Here is an example - a 25 second clip of my band on YouTube:
It sounds like the mic is being over driven and clipping/distorting. How close is the phone to the bass?

The bass is completely on the opposite side of the stage, about 25 feet away in this video. We didn't use subs at this gig, and my phone was about 5 feet behind the main speakers sitting on a towel on a concrete floor.
To me, it doesn't appear to be the bass.. It's when the drummer is hitting the snare, which is opposite of when the bass is usually hitting. The snare is usually the loudest thing on the stage.
I've tried recording at every show since I've had my phone around August or September (23 - 25 shows)....I've had it at all different points behind the speakers, in front of the speakers, on the bass side, behind everything, in peoples hands..... ect... It just doesn't like loud music.
I was wondering if there was a way to up the sensitivity of the mic, or DB where it is rated?
I've been recording my band/s for the past 7 or 8 years (ever since the iPhone 4s days). Had some that distorted bad, but usually I could tell it was the bass. But ever since I had my first HTC M7, about 2013, I haven't had any issues until now with the A7.
Did you find any solution? I go to live shows a lot, and sometimes I like to record one or two songs, I used to have Motorola g4 plus and the audio was OK, but I just bought the g5 plus and the audio is totally garbage! :crying:

No, but I haven't tried for a few weeks - since updating to 7.1.1, but it was this way on 7.0, so I don't foresee it any better.

Hmmmm, this is the 2nd Axon 7 I've had - and both had the same issue. Maybe it's just louder behind the speakers?
I may try setting it out in front, 10 or 20 feet back and see how that turns out? It still irritates me a little, because my other phones didn't do this when I'd record the same way and place. Even going back 4 or 5 years ago to my HTC M7.

Just as I promised, I recorded a video yesterday night in a loud environment; I was no more than 1-2 from one of the speakers, and I think the quality is pretty decent:
https://goo.gl/photos/XXkdG1Z1M4ja1mAd8
P.D.: The video seems a little blurry, but I didn't even focus anything, I just grabbed the phone out and start to record to test the audio and I didn't care about image quality.
I've recorded live bands and the sound has been fine, far better than on any previous phone, but I haven't tried with version 7.

Well, I recorded more video of my band this weekend. I believe the issue comes form the side of the stage I'm on required the microphone to point "towards" the stage, instead of away.....So it's extra sensitive. I recorded half a song with it one way, flipped it over and finished out the song. The half with the mic pointed away only clipped one time. The half with it pointed towards us, clipped about ever time my drummer hit the snare.
Still not as clear as my drummers wife and her S7, but livable now.
I also read you can put scotch tape over the mic and it'll help too?
[UPDATE]
Mid- last week, I made the switch from stock, to LOs.... Just tested the recording, and the problems I was experiencing in stock, with clipping, don't exist in LOs... Not sure why, but they're all gone!
I recorded several songs tonight, at a louder volume, with no clipping at all.
Just throwing this out there.
