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

this might sound funny, but i made my first ear-to-earpiece voice call yesterday on the Z3c, after having the phone for a couple of weeks. up to then, i've only used speakerphone for calls.
call quality is, frankly, BALLS. my gf sounded like a Transformer the other night. there's some awful digital treatment or filter or something. equalizer didn't seem to make much difference.
strange thing is: speakerphone sounds great, if a little softer than what i was accustomed to using. and the stereo speakers in general, for music, videos, etc. are great -- especially when you take into account the size of the phone and speakers.
so, i'm curious: what have you done in terms of settings to make non-speakerphone calls sound better?
Hi there
I assume this is just my handset as all reviews rave about the Moto X loudspeaker. However, I find, especially when listening to YouTube videos, BBC iPlayer etc, the sound output is "uneven".
One second it is rich sounding, the next it'll go a bit tinny. It's almost like a bass boost is going on and off. It is most noticeable with spoken voice on 1/2 to 3/4 volume. I've tried with the sound effect EQ both on and off - same thing.
It's not a deal breaker and I doubt I'll find the effort to send it back but wondered if anyone else has noticed similar.
Thanks..
I assume not! Not sure I can be bothered to return it on the back of this though.
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!
Hi did anyone try recording a musical instrument with the Nokia 8?
Is anyone willing to try and do something simple with a guitar or something else I'm really curious what the OZO sounds like when recording a musical instrument...
Thanks guaranteed!!
I haven't recorded isolated instruments, but I have noticed that in loud settings (concert venue, car stereo) the microphone seems to saturate and clip pretty easily. I haven't seen any kind of gain control, either. It would probably be pretty decent in a quiet, more studio-like setting, but it doesn't seem to handle louder environments well.

Thank you this information is very useful for me, that kind of clipping worries me as I also play a high tin whistle that it's shrill high notes could cause microphones to clip, do you think they can fix that gain issue? Is the recording you did after the recent updates? Also have you tried recording a loud environment with a different phone to compare if they would clip in the same loud environments? Especially interested in the LG V30 or G6 with regard... I also heard that the new Sony Xperias should be good with regard and able to record loud concerts... Thank you very much!
I watched a video on Youtube in which a person used a Nokia 8 to record pushing back a Boeing 777 aircraft! wow! the sound is very crisp and doesn't clip despite the relatively loud environment, xasbo, do you reckon your specific unit could be faulty? and the clipping has been fixed in more recent units? thanks for your help!

Does any one else notice a strange noise that's very faint when playing back a video recorded on the phone? Can hear it more through headphones. Hard to describe. It's like a slight clicking or interference noise. Have to listen hard to know it's there without headphones.
Anyone checked theirs for me please? Need to know if I need to return. Cheers.
Im not sure if i understood you correctly, but i lowered media volume to 0, and played video from a gallery - couldn't hear anything.
BUT What i noticed earlier, when you open Camera app, and put a phone to your ear (like when you are on a call) you can hear some white noise, like a sea
It's when you've filmed a video on the phone and playing it back. Only when recording zoomed out. When you soon in it stops. Not sure how to upload a sample video. Sounds kind of like crickets.

Hello, I am with Huawei P30Pro Android 10, I just wanted to share my experience with you about the noise. I heard it, too! I wanted to record a very low noise from an amplifier (I was nearby the speaker, so the zoom was 1x), like if it has hum or some tweeting noise from the speakers when it is not playing any music and the volume is on Max. And then I have noticed the same ticking noise when I played the recorded video on my computer. I thought it is some problem with the computer. But then I played it on my phone, for security, and I heard it again, but I had to increase the phone volume, otherwise is not so noticeable. So I thing, when you have this noise, too, it should be produced somehow from the phone by video recording and it should be some kind of common issue, not only by your phone.
I hope this info help you. So, the problem is not only in your device! In mine, too, and probably in everyone's else!
Best regards
It's Radio interference. Probably from gps/lte/wifi antennae etc. Turn airplane mode, ticking is gone. You're welcome!
