[Q] WhatsApp Audio MIC Recording garbled?

Hi All,
I have been having this problem with any firmware based on stock .290 and .136. Be it Whatsapp or Line or Viber. Anything that sends an Audio message comes out garbled, which is extremely annoying.
The weird thing is.. this becomes PERFECTLY fine when I open the the SIM card port.. I seriously fail to see the connection to MIC performance here.. with the port being open! so it's just weird!!
I have downgraded to .257 for now due to this bug.
Can anyone on .290 or .136 try whatsapp audio messages and see if the problem exists for them too?
Thanks all!

You have 2 microphone on Z1, when you record the voice message, speak to the one on top behind Led Notification/Phone Call Speaker.
BTW, Whazzapp always had this problems.

Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem neither..
It's really weird because it affects normal phone conversations as well but not as much.. I can use what's and click on the paperclip icon and actually RECORD a voice clip and it will come out fine... just when I use the audio button, it comes out garbled!
So damn weird!

Probably cheap codecs and the option in Whazzapp was always like that and many reported to have problems. Maybe with the next update Whazapp will fix that but now how do that I don't know. Just use different app to record voice messages and send them via whazz.

Download the new beta of WhatsApp here before it hits the Playstore.
It seemed to have solve the problem for me

As stated in this topic. The only alternative is to click the thumbnail icon in a chat, select audio and choose what's app recorder.
That will allow u to send a voice note the old fashioned what's app way without the garble. Even still I've experienced app and phone freezes when trying to listen to voice notes via what's app. So hopefully the next update fixes it.

Thanks all for the replies...
glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this problem.
I will surely report back when I have more details/fixes

Just updated to MonX .136 and installed the beta whatsapp version suggested by slimldj..
whatsapp still has some form of garbled messages but it's 90% fixed.. it's good enough for me to use 4.3 based rom now!
I hope others will find this information useful.

I was going to post a new topic specifying this exact problem (although my phone doesn't seem to benefit from opening the SIM flap).
This garbled recording is driving me nuts, it worked fine on .257. I'm also in a Z1 (C6906) .290 based rom (iHackers).
Is there some way this problem can be solved? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Aldo!
I was having this problem actually all the way until around 3-4 days ago when Whatsapp got updated. I was using the workaround by "attaching" an audio clip instead of pressing down the button to speak.
Without changing rom (Monx .136), I just updated whatsapp to version 2.11.175 and now it is working 100% fine now.. The audio comes out clear and loud when played back...
Hope this helps, please post back of your results!

[Q] No earpiece sound on stock KitKat 4.4.2

I "upgraded" to KitKat through PC Companion and can't get any sound from the earpiece. I tried the service tests and still nothing. I tried installing KitKat again, this time using an ftf on flashtool and wiping everything; still no earpiece sound. I then flashed another rom (Carbon), and the sound is fine there so it shouldn't be a hardware issue. Does anyone know what the cause could be? Better yet, how can it be fixed?
I gave up on KK for now and just went back to stock 4.2.2 where everything works for me... Would it possibly work right if I update OTA to KK?

I also have the same problem...

Hi guys,
Mine is working correctly after 4.4.2. But I installed it with full wipe and flash pre root, not PCC...

Hi, this is an unsolved bug of the latest stock rom updates. I found a solution:
1. go to Settings --> Apps --> all --> sound enhancements ---> clear data and force stop
2. clear data and force stop Walkman or other music app.
3. restart your cell phone.
But this is not a final solution. The sound bug "comes back" after some days. So, if it appears again you have got to do the same steps.
excuse me if i don't speak english well, I just speak spanish.

I installed SoundAbout. This App told me that my cell phone detects earphones and bluetooth device, but I didn't connect anything.
So, I thought there was a bug in smart connect app, and i was right. I cleared its data. Later, smart connect detected a "phantom" earphones.
It's annoying to make everytime the steps that I posted you, or configuring SoundAbout. I think I'll go back to stock 4.2.2 (the better stock rom for me)

I do not have any problem with this Soundabout really helped me this time
you can use the pro version...
complete all recommendations with bluetooth voice once...!!!!

The steps Claudio provided only seemed to work for a matter of minutes, but now I have been using the phone problem "free" for over 24 hours with SoundAbout installed. So when will we get a REAL fix from Sony? It seems like it should be an easy fix for them since it's just something in the software detecting a phantom headset connected. Should I just forget about that and buy a pro license for this app. Maybe Sony will reimburse me for it, haha
Thank you both for the input!

Well, my SoundAbout trial ended and the problem is back. I'm wondering if there is something in the android script or whatever that would "fix" this before ponying up for the Pro version of SoundAbout. Sucks to have to pay to fix Sony's problem

have you tried HF button widget?
A friend with an xperia ZR just had this issue also, so i was looking for an alternative to SoundAbout and came across this app.

Thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm frustrated with 4.3 and above, so I went back to 4.2.2. I had another sound problem on KK too; when using my bluetooth headset, if the back of the phone got a little pressure (even from me bending down with the phone in my pants pocket), the bluetooth would disconnect. I would then have to tap or press on the back to get it to reconnect. I was thinking it could be a hardware issue, but I don't have the problem at all on 4.2.2

Mic issue during call

During calls other people hears my voice very low (i have to speak directly in the mic hole to make it clear), I exclude that it is a problem because of the microphone bulk, with the voice recorder it is perfect also speaking softly (it always use the microphone below). I exclude that it is problem of noise cancellation (s5 mini does not have this option) and in any case I tried to tap the microphone over near infrared and nothing changes. I exclude that it is a problem with the SIM card as if I use the speakerphone or headphones works perfect. G800F with stock kitkat. (no root, likes to keep warranty)
The phone is very new, already tried factory reset.
Any advice? Sorry for my bad english. thanks.

hello, thanks for the reply, I have not solved the problem yet. I tried some dialers on google play, but once you select the number to call, it shows the original phone dialer, so the problem remains, is there any way to change even that last dialer, perhaps without root? thank you

I understand ... actually i got the phone just a couple of days ago so i didn't make many calls. So i am not 100% sure that i have this problem too.
I know however that on water-proof phones the mics are somehow "protected" so they have worst audio mic performances that non-waterproof smartphone. I have also read online that some s5mini users solved their mic/audio problems by unistalling/freezing/disabling tha google "talk back" application. Maybe you can give it a try and see if it works.

That's for sure, my friend
For now i browsed the internet a bit and i found out 2 types of problems with the samsung galaxy s5's and s5 min's microphones. The first one is the low audio volume (the one you have) and the other one is the echo problem, i.e. the people you are calling do hear the echo of their own voices.
For now i just noticed that i have a kind of problem when using the phone call recording app i always used without problems ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr&hl=it ). When i play the audio file of a phone call, my side of the call is difficult to hear. I know for sure this happens when i hear the recorder audio file. But i don't know if this happens also in real time with the phone call. Could you please give the ACR app a try? And see how is the recorded phone call? Can you hear your voice in the recorder audio file?

I unistalled talk back updates, and deactivated it, (in settings->applications) I already tried ACR, i can her my voice but volume is very very low, the incoming voice is in normal volume.

Ok, i got it. I am new to android 4.4 (my previous smartphone had just 4.0) so i didn't know you caould also deactivate it. I used to freeze app with Titanium Backup on my old smartphone. I guess that deactivating it lead to the same result as freezing it with TB or unistalling it with TB.
Since you just deactivated it i can suppose you are also running full stcok android 4.4 unrooted?

So you are getting the same result as me. Did you try recording a phone call with the backcover of the phone removed? If so, how is your voice in the recorderd audio file? Does it get any better?

Hello,
I have a mini s5, I noticed that whoever calls me hear an annoying echo of his voice, I did already several SIM change evidence, the only way to eliminate echo is remove the back cover.
Should I apply for assistance, or is there a way to disable the upper microphone near the speaker?

I did this try myself and ... the result was no better. My voice is always very low ....
I also did another try with the earphone plugged into the 3,5 jack and ... the result was great! In the recorder audio file of the phone call i can totally hear my voice, loud and clear!! And i did this with two phone call recording apps:
ACR: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr
AutoCallRecorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.romang.callrecorder&feature=order_history
I will go on and try other phone call recording app, but i don't think this will get any better. I think this is really a problem with the 2 build.in microphones. Now it's hard to say if it is an hardware issue or a software/firmware issue. I am runnung 4.4 .... if someone running full stock lollipop could please give it a try and let us know. Maybe witha new OS release the mics behaves differently ...

Relased yesterday ufficial 5.1.1 lollipop for italian G800F ! installed today and the volume of the microphone is improved, now I would say that it is acceptable...although with other phone it's still better.
I think you should try to update too mr. "Night on the web"

Ciao, italiano anche tu?
Well, i updated my s5 mini 2 days ago (cause i have a slovakia phone, and the update came out last week) and i too have noticed some improvements. I though that it was just a placebo effect, but now that i hear the same impression from another user too, i think that something has changed. Maybe samsung re-wrote the drivers for the new android version and they came out to be better? Who knows ...
I also tried to record a couple of phone calls with the previous mentioned app ACR and the volume of my voice is pretty equal to that of the people i am talking too. Before, when i was on kitkat, the volume level of my voice was really really looooow. Now i can get really good audio files.
I am not sure if the firmware upgrade also solved the "echo" issue (which is totally different from the issue i had). Can someone give it a try?

Well, in ACR i have set the same settings i had in my previous smartphone:
1) settings --> general --> the second option (which is notification; display a notification if ACR is turned on) deactivated. [but you can try to turn it on if it gets better]
2) setting --> recording --> audiosource --> MIC (usually, after installation, the default setting is automatic)
3) setting --> recording --> percorso audio --> automatic
4) setting --> recording --> formato di regsitrazione --> 3GP
When i was running kitkat i noticed that changing the setting number 2 did have some effects on the volume of the voices in the regsitration. If my settings don't solve your problem, you can try and change only that one. I remember that the "voice uplink" was a good audiosource to get better results. Give it a try.
PS. I have also de-activated the "supress noise" function in the pre-installed samsung voice recording app. This shouldn't intefere with the in-call recording but ... it might.

That is good news! :good:
I have tried to access a setting menu for mic volume gain but i had no luck.
I tried several key-combination (from the dialer) but some were uneffective on this specific device and others didn't led to mic volume gain.
Actually i am starting to think that, without root, it is not possible to access such feature.
By the way, while i was on kitkat, i noticed that with another voice recording app, i was getting better results. It is this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
Since i was getting better results on kitakat, maybe you can get also better results on lollipop. You can try the two trial apks posted in the first post of the thread. With this app, i used audio "source-->audio uplink" and i was getting better results than with ACR.

Bluetooth disconnect randomly

Hello,
Since 1 month, my bluetooth disconnects from my car, BT speaker and BT headset randomly. My Z3C is working with Marshmallow sony rom (last update, no custom rom).
I have tried a factory reset, 2 times, and it works for 1 or 2 days then, BT problem comes back. So, I don't think it is a hardware issue.
What can I do to solve this problem ? I can't stand it anymore !!!
Thanks for your help !

OMG, I can't find help anywhere and I have the same problem. My Pebble Time smartwatch disconnects all the time.

Hello,
I have reset factory my phone and now, I am installing appplications one by one until the phone starts to have BT disconnected. So far so good, I have 80% of all my applications installed and BT still works perfectly. The problem come from an application which disconnect BT. Try to do this. If your BT do not disconnect when the phone have only stock applications, the problem come from an application you have installed. If not, I think it is a hardware problem.

Yes of course. As soon as I found the app, I will post its name. Otherwise, a friend told me that you can install an application which can tells you the permissions of all your apps included access to bluetooth. It can be a lead to the app. Then uninstall apps using BT and test the BT connection. I don't know its name but a quick search on the app market and you will find your happines

Hello,
Did you find something?
Thanks

Not yet. I have several apps remaining to install on the phone. But I won't install several apps again because I don't need them anymore. So it is possible that I never find the wrong app.
Try to use "Permission Friendly Apps" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.androidsoft.app.permission) to search apps which use bluetooth and uninstall them to see if your BT starts to work fine.

I HAVE FOUND IT !!!! The app is called Marmiton. I have just look to its permissions and it take BT properties !!!! After installing it, BT starts to disconnect. Deleting it solve the problem !!

Thanks !!!! It's strange because it's installed on my Z3c and I have no problem. I will check on the Z5c... In my side I thought it was "wear mini launcher" for Android wear.

Thank you Gillou! You saved me. I was going to throw away my xperia z3 which drove me crazy for a year with this BT issue.
I uninstalled Marmiton and everything is fine now .

Huge problem when phone is paired with bluetooth in my car...no one can hear me...

First, sorry if this is confusing..I will try to explain my problem as clearly as possible.
okay...I have my Mi Mix paired to my vehicle through its OEM bluetooth and the phone works perfect if I just receive a random call while driving/sitting still and don't use any other apps.
However, if I exit the "phone app"...u know, to look up something on google or open any other app then no one car hear me through bluetooth anymore...even if I go back into the "phone" they will not be able to hear me through bluetooth.....the only way for them to hear me again is if I put the phone on speaker..but, of course, that isn't going to work as I won't be able to hear someone just through the speaker.
This is especially bad when I am using Google maps to navigate...because google maps will no longer sound out the directions..it will not sound out the directions via bluetooth OR the phone speaker.
What in the world is the issue here?
Also, I have noticed..when I am in the phone app I noticed that you can't hit the "recent apps" button to switch to an app..the only way to go to a new app is to hit the home button and choose the app.
This is a HUGE issue for me as I am unable to use navigation while driving and talk to someone....
of course, I have looked at all the settings that I think I could change...and nothing seems to fix it, but, maybe I am missing something here. I have NEVER had this issue with any other phone.
Thanks a lot!

This is especially bad when I am using Google maps to navigate...because google maps will no longer sound out the directions..it will not sound out the directions via bluetooth OR the phone speaker.
What in the world is the issue here?
Also, I have noticed..when I am in the phone app I noticed that you can't hit the "recent apps" button to switch to an app..the only way to go to a new app is to hit the home button and choose the app.
This is a HUGE issue for me as I am unable to use navigation while driving and talk to someone....
of course, I have looked at all the settings that I think I could change...and nothing seems to fix it, but, maybe I am missing something here. I have NEVER had this issue with any other phone.
Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately, nope. I loved the phone...However, I had to sell it because of this issue. Very crappy.

Same problem here, obviously it's not the phone itself, if I turn satnav on call is still going but no one can hear anything at either end.

This is one of the reason why I sold my Mi Mix and trying to sell my Huawei Mate 9. I had so much issues connecting via BT to Ford Sync. My Samsung Note 5/7 connected instantly while Mi Mix and Mate 9 can take forever and sometimes not at all.

I am also having this issue with my Bluetooth plantronics voyager edge headset. I'm on the epic rom. And can't seem to use any apps that also requires audio at the same time (gps)...
Anyone have a solution for this?

Don't know if I have the problem with ford sync in the Kuga, connects instantly but not tried making calls and using apps, with stand alone pioneer head unit in my van it's definitely a problem.

What a problem, still the problem, we have 2 solutions i think, wait or sell it, how ever, both are very sad...
This smartphone it´s a beast...

As a work around I have been using Waze for navigation, under settings set to output volume via phone speakers, not tested yet will report back.
So that seems to work with the sound problem, can take a call with navigation running, still have to press home button, recent apps and choose navigation app, while taking the call but didn't cut the phone audio.

My car has nav built in, so I hadn't noticed these issues. Good to know though.
