When I record audio in WhatsApp, the sound is very compressed and noisy.
Recording using the phone's default Voice Recording app records fine and sounds great. This only happens inside WhatsApp. When my friend records something on his iphone to send over WhatsApp, it sounds great... crystal clear.
I can record using the Voice Recorder app, and then share it via WhatsApp, but the person receiving it cannot play it.
Could someone else download WhatsApp and try recording an attachment?
The compression/distortion is much more noticeable when recording something other than a voice, like a guitar.
edit: I emailed their support and they said they have no such issue
Well your still a step ahead of me, I can't get Whatsapp to record what so ever, even when I record a video with it it comes out with no audio at all. As far as I know this only happens in Whatsapp, all my other apps can use the mic.
So yes there is an issue with it.

Are you using a custom ROM?
Maybe that affects it for some reason. Like I said their support tested it with a GS2 when I emailed them and they said it recorded and sent fine in normal quality.
I'm using Congnition 1.15
Can someone else please try?

Mines all stock, not even rooted. So I couldn't have crippled it.
Honestly I don't have any use for it so I didn't really try and find what's wrong.
Like you I was testing Whatsapp with an iPhone and the audio I received from it was crystal clear but what ever I send comes out blank with nothing to hear. It's like it can't use the mic.

I feel like their support might not even be able to notice the difference in compression lol.
It makes no sense that it would compress it on my phone but not on theirs

Lol well maybe to them it sounds normal when it's compressed.

Yeah, I even told them to record the same thing in WhatsApp and in Voice Recorder and they claimed it sounded the same
That's why I'm asking you fine gents to test for me
Well I just reinstalled whatsapp and surprisingly enough the audio works now and I can confirm that whatsapp seems to compress the file cuz the quality isn't as good as the stock voice recorder, but it's not that bad imo.

if you're just recording your voice its not that bad. But anything else sounds awful
I tried recording my guitar and it sounded abysmal

Yea probably. Well I guess the best thing to do is just use some other service in the mean time. Doesn't look like they'll fix it anytime soon.
Cheers bud.

I realized that it sounds just as compressed if I use a 3rd party voice recording app
I wonder why the stock recorder app has perfect quality audio while 3rd party apps sound like crap
is it like an API/driver thing?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Hmm it might be an Api or driver but I think they're all compressing it to decrease file size and thus traffic on their servers. Cuz for instance if you send a photo it doesn't send it with the full resolution but lowers it to maintain file size. So i'm guessing they do the same to audio files.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Nah it happens with any App that isn't the stock Voice Recorder app
I guess it's special
I flashed MIUI and nothing records with the same quality as Samsung's app

Most phones blow out the sound when recording stuff that's super loud, but apparently not the HTC One. Sounds flippin' fantastic. Here's some nightclub videos I took last night:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVW9B_tfri4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Ac02Qb_qU
The videos quality itself is also fairly commendable considering the poor lighting there.
Very good indeed. I'll give it a shot myself...
I'm really pleased with the audio. I was in Disney world, recorded tons of videos of the rides and while really loud, sound is great and not distorted at all.

Don't forget only people who got their Ones early got the awesome HDR dual membrane microphone that makes this possible. Due to a court ruling HTC must begin shipping phones with a different microphone once they use up their existing stock of phones with the old microphone.

The Serial number will show when the phone was manufactured. So far, there has been no news of HTC running out of their stock yet, so we can safely assume anything made up til Mid-May will have the HDR mic.

Kind of right I think..I believe they are allowed to use the rest of the stock the bought from ST Microelectronics..Even if they weren't in new phones yet..
Sorry, yes I think that is more accurate.
Either way we don't know how good the replacement part will be. Might be very good, but hard to imagine being as good as the originally spec'ed part .. .

What a difference 1.5 years of phone technology makes...
Does anyone know if apps than the video camera can use the HDR audio capabilities? I tried to record our band rehearsing last Friday and it was just as distorted as on any other phone.
We play really loud, probably louder than the music in that club (we use earplugs) so maybe it was simply more than the HDR microphone could handle.
However, I used a 3rd party audio app (J4T), and now I'm wondering if it would have been better if I had shot a video using the stock camera instead.

I believe the mic is rated to record up to 140db with no distortion.

Thanks! Well, maybe we were just over 140db, I don't know -- although that is pretty loud. I'll experiment with different audio apps and the video camera next rehearsal.

I noticed many people (including myself) trying to figure out HDR video in the new MEA base. This thread is for that discussion. Hopefully someone will be able to give a clear answer on it and it will help everyone. So what magic must be done to enable HDR video? Is it on by default or is there some hidden setting?

thus far havent been able to do it with stock or ktoonsez kernels. how it works is pretty simple and should work ok, but should show some artifacting with heavy jello. basically it underexposes and overexposes every other scan line (not sure if it oversamples, averages, and combines from higher than 1080P res or just does so at regular 1080P resolution (most likely) in which case best quality would be found at 720P settings, as this would allow full blending.
What about faux123s new kernel? Interesting that we can't do it on the stock kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
i havent seen anyone find it yet; im interested to compare quality of 720P vs 1080P and see if my theory on transsampled scan lines is correct; its a dirty way to do it, but would work decently. HDR photo mode should work the same but it doesnt; instead any movement translates to blur (eg leaves, bugs, cars, etc).
Are you people stupid or just lazy? How bout going into the camera app hitting mode then scroll to HDR then hit the video button.

That only works for photo mode, which works totally different from video mode. i work in television and film; i took several sample clips in controlled lighting environments; photo mode does not alter video mode, in this update or 4.2.2 original, AOSP/CM, TW UCUAMDB/UCUAMDL or any kernels thus far.
watch who you call lazy and stupid; might come off a bit rude, to say the least.
Well according to this HDR video is included and there is only 1 HDR setting in the camera so unless there is another setting buried within the camera... That's it

hello:
I have a question and i can´t find a answer.
is it possible to record slow motion videos and edit them in order to make some parts of the video in normal speed?
This is something possible in Htc One.
Thansk for reply

Open the camera app, click on the menu gear wheel, then click on the video camera icon and select "slow motion" from the recording mode list.
Thanks edwmsjr. But is it possible to edit to play few seconds in normal speed and few seconds in slow motion in the same clip?(just like they show in iPhone 5s ad) Or is there any app to do this?

I use Adobe Premier, but it's pretty expensive. A quick look through the App Store revealed a pretty well rated app here. I just don't know if you can add the slow-mo effect to just a part of a video, but it's worth a download to try.
Adobe premier is no problem i will try

if you see the video, it capture the video in slow motion then we can edit the part that plays in slow motion .

If you are not a developers as i can see it seems a good answer.

Maybe someone could actually help and maybe with the solution gain money or better some credit in the developers world.

hi,
is there a solution ?
I have not done it myself yet, but wouldn't just simply recording portion in high speed, another portion in normal speed etc. and join the files together work?
So the video camera app is pretty useless due to the horrible auto focus on speed, so I need a new one - any recommendations that works well with the G2. Has to be able to record [email protected]

Try ProCapture. I've used it for a long time, it's even better on the G2 and does [email protected] Just tested it and focus seems to be fairly good.
I have the paid version, but they have a free one to try before you buy.

Install lgCamera from the Play Store. It's the best replacement I've found for the video issue. I've been using the free for a bit, seems to work so I'll likely shell out the dough to buy it outright.
I've tried several apps (Lenovo Super Camera, Focal, a few others whose names I forget) and none of them worked as well for me as the lgCamera did. Good luck.
