front mic or rear mic to record voice? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I recently purchased this app that can record voice from either using front mic or rear mic.
I was wondering which one is better to record?
I'm going to use it to record lectures not phone calls.
Thanks in advance

Speaker problem

Hello!
Whenever I play music on this phone the front speakers are not working but the back speakers are. What could be the problem? I am guessing dust got into it, but I am not sure. Please help!!

I guess, the front speaker is none other than the earpiece itself. & the back one is the loudspeaker. Whenever u play music or enjoy any media stuff the sound comes through the back loudspeaker.
As far as the front earpiece(above the LCD area) is concerned, it's only used for calls not for listening music...
To clean the dust, better get it cleaned by the SSC,(for me they have done it for free...)

[Q] Does the jack work like an audio input too?

Hi, do you know if i can use my XZ to record audio input via the jack (from an external source)?
Thank you very much:good:

Take a guess.
Hint:
What came with the phone?
I know that the jack is an audio output for the earphones.
In some phones it can be used as an input. And in some notebooks too, for example.

Isn't there a microphone in the headset?
If so then probably yes.

Yeah i think there is an hardware capability but recording a video there is no sound capture for a microphone or other source attached there..
unfortunately :/

Skype audio loudness issue?

Hi all,
Today I've tried to use Skype video calling and it works perfectly regarding video, but my audio is incredibly quiet and going trough top speaker only, same as when I do regular phone call. So if I want to see someone during talk, I barely hear him. If I plug earphones, it is fantastic.
so, is there anyway to enable both speakers during Skype video call?
I'm running stock HTC One with all latest updates. Skype is also updated.
Thnx 4 help.

I'm having the same issue, not sure if it's a bug in the Skype but I always felt the app is has lots of bugs.
Any news about this? When can we expect speakerphone option?

Disable Camera Sound on Gear

Hi there! Does anyone know how to disable the camera sound while taking a picture. Tried to mute ask volume but it doesn't work.
Thanks.

Try search...
Easiest option is to just cover speaker. Other try null rom (I made modded cam, but only works for old firmware)
After the latest update everything is working perfect, but a lost snapchat and the camera sound.
All notification sounds and touch feedback sound are still there.
So I guess there is a way to switch the sound on and off.

Yes, it was figured out how to mute the sounds by a few very bright folks here. There is a tool on here you should try called "search". I know of two threads at least where it's covered in great detail.

Serious Nexus 5 Mic issues

Try recording something with absolutely no background noise of you talking breathing is fine you will hear a slight hiss during recording silence this is with the stock camera app and 100% fully stock google Image 4.4.2 Flashed No root no kernel all stock
Also there seems to be issue on the mic when in a voice call when there is silence also hissing noise and or when in a crowded environment it sounds muffled.
There are around 3 threads like this on the Q and A section. All NEXUS 5's have this issue STOP Hiding and bring awareness to Google and or LG
A quick search reveals many people having this issue. Search on Google for Nexus 5 mic issue
In fact it even affects the Nexus 4! and how old is the Nexus 4 now? its been doing that since 4.3!
I love it when people generalize with words like "all" and "everyone". Got mine new last week at Tmobile store. Voice calls are fine with no hissing. Recorded video and audio sounds fine. If there are three threads then why create another one. Read the rules!!, also if you want lg's attention go post in their support thread. No one but deaf ears will hear you here. If you are that unhappy return it.

I thought the video issue affected all units. So in quiet environments there is no static in your video recording?

If its a known issue it doesn't mean it can necessarily affect them all. Or maybe I'm not using the device the same way as you are where I can reproduce it .

If you don't like it, buy a new phone. On a side note, have you tried downloading a seperate recording app? As far as the call goes, I haven't had an issue with that, so its not ALL. Instead, you could of used: majority, almost all, a high percentage, a noticeable amount.

I still get the giggles reading your "The radio is great on the nexus 5" post.
I find that the level of hissing differs between devices. Some devices have it really bad where it sounds like someone is constantly blowing air into the mic, where as as on others you can barely hear any noise.
