I've noticed that that during a recording, after you pause a video and resume recording you will get little glitch on the final product.
During that transition period (from pause to resume recording), a split second of audio is muted.
It's NOT a big deal, however to me it is. I like to use my phone to do (stupid, fun, and elaborate) recordings with my friends and having that mute second is a little annoying. Is there a value or setting in the phone allowing a muted delay? (If there is, the engineer who enabled it is a straight up dumbass).
Guys, I'm serious. Record a video, pause it with a background noise, resume the video and then replay the final product and THERE IS A MUTED DELAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND. Fixes? Thoughts? Empathy? (lol)
PS. I contacted Samsung and the guy on the phone was amused at this glitch since he never noticed it. He owns a Galaxy S also (how cool!). He sent the issue/ complaint to the technical department.
Someone must agree with me on this...cmon Galaxy S friends!!!!!!!

Couple of questions. So far, I absolutely love my Nexus 6, however I have a couple of questions/quibbles.
Firstly, the volume on this thing. How quiet/loud is it supposed to be? When it's in the low end scales it's very, very quiet, middle is passable, loud is good, but is the quieter levels supposed to be so quiet? I compared it to an iPad 3 and that speaker is louder overall, I assumed the Nexus 6 would be louder everywhere (highest level very loud, lower end quiet but loud enough to hear) than the 3 year old iPad?
Secondly, the microphone. I'm a little confused by it. In videos I've recorded the mic volume is good enough, but using WhatsApp I things I've recorded sound quiet, at least compared to iPhone recordings (friends have iPhone's), and then it's slightly better in "Easy Voice Recorder", unless I whack up the gain on it.
What's the deal? Or are all Nexus 6's like this?
Also, what's the battery life supposed to be like?
I'm on fairly low brightness, auto adaptive brightness or whatever is off. Unplugged at 8am, its been 12 hours. On 22%. Used the phone 20mins browsing internet going to work, stuck in my drawer till 1pm with occasional checks, 20mins used it playing Jetpack Joyride/internet browsing, home from about 4, been playing music on and off through Google Play, couple of YouTube videos, browsing the web etc, nothing too intensive, and I'm on 22%. Does that sound right?
Anybody?
Yeah, you my friend have had the 2 most common problems with the nexus which come standard with the device. For battery, you need to get a kernel with intelliplug and enable it over the stock mp decision. You can even overclock with battery life better than stock. (Like me) For audio, try to find a kernel with faux sound, download viper4android for music, and change some values around in mixer.paths.xml. You need to be rooted with a recovery first before any of this. The problem with video recording is that it is also recorded in mono instead of stereo. Weird but I have been able to fix all of these problems now. If you need any help, quote me. Please give a thanks if I solved your issues.
Thanks for reply.
So what I've described aren't necessarily problems as such, they're just standard on the phone? The battery is okay it's just not amazing. I'm on 50% now, unplugged 14 hours ago, used it for a bit of internet browsing, texting. Was on standby for about 9 hours and was on a call this morning for about half an hour and then I've done some more browsing and texting today. I'm also on adaptive brightness.
Does this sound right?
And the microphone, if I use it on WhatsApp, people keep saying it sounds clear, it's just very low. But again, if I record a video it comes through fine.
Is this normal to Nexus 6's or is there something wrong with my mic?
really low here to in whatsapp, can somone please help us? i do not want to have to send my phone back!

Same issue here. The mic volume in all IM apps like whatsapp, Skype and etc are very very low. However the voice in the recorded video is OK.

yep thats what im getting....anyone else?
Yeah that's really annoying. The problem is, that the N6 use the mic at the bottom on the rear site. If want to make a videochat with the frontcam it's really stupid.
Normally it use the rear mic to reduce background noise. But this seems to work only with telephone calls?
Did anyone ever solve this problem?
Would a Bluetooth headset be a "fix"?

It is default mechanism.
You can install 3rd party Sound recording app and forward recordings to them.
is there any way to shut off the noise cancelling when recording video on this phone? either a setting, or a different recording app?
i took a video and i'd like to be able to hear more background noise. in person you'd hear a choppy idle and supercharger whine. the exhaust should be much louder too. i have no cats + flowmasters dumped before the axle. i set off car alarms idling by, but this phones noise cancelling works so good you can barely even hear it idle.
i was planning to make a phone mount so i can use my moto like a GoPro. in this video i just wedged my moto under the headrest. it was just a last minute thought when i was playing in the snow driving back to work after lunch.

alternatively. if I buy a microphone or hands free kit, would it record the audio from that instead? this might be the better solution. then I could stick the microphone under the hood
Ok, so this seems to be an oddball problem since I haven't been able to find any resources on the web (yet).
My first generation Urbane seems to have a microphone that has gone bad. I suspected this when Google couldn't transcribe replies to messages (went through the sending, trying again, still trying, etc. messages before giving up). I downloaded an audio recorder for wear to confirm and it sounds like I am talking to my watch from the other side of a room inside a sleeping bag.
Here's the recording I made for reference.
I was about 2 inches from my watch, speaking in a normal volume. I have another recording that was with my watch at desk-level with me speaking at a normal volume, but there's nothing to hear except the ambient rumble you can hear in the recording I posted.
So my questions are these:
Is there a way to clean the microphone?
Could the diaphragm in my microphone be damaged?
A real bummer if it's busted since I love this watch!
Hello folks,
i purchased a Note 9 and I am getting in trouble because I cannot use the phone as i used to do before. When I have a call with someone and I use the speaker for free-speaking (or the usage of a car-mount in combination of the headphone jack connected to car while driving) the in-built noise-reductions destroys nearly every call. People cannot hear me correctly, because the noise-reduction is so hard, that it cut offs a lot of the words I speak. The result is, that people cannot understand me.
I contacted Samsung for this and they verified that this is a common thing for samsung phones, because their intelligent noise-reduction should turn out every other sound - sadly it also removes the own sound. I can only speak with speaker mode, when the phone is on my desk or in hand and there is no noise. Even when I have the phone in the sink while washing my hands (common corona-stuff) people cant here me correctly anymore due the filter of the water-noise.
Samsung has no option to turn off this "feature" and the mic works perfectly for recording audiologs or whatsapp-voice notes.
So my request now is: Is there any way to get rid of this noise-reduction-feature while in Call?
I could imagine that maybe root gives access to this function or maybe also a custom rom. Can anybody help me with this and giving me a good answer ?
