Low microphone while video call on facebook messenger,and second microphone - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear members!
My problem is, that whenever I try to use facebook messenger app for wideo calling, my partner barely hear what I'm saying.
Currently I'm using the latest RR 7.1.2 build from the forums, and used several cusom roms,but this problem was common in all of them. In the official 6.0.1 TW the fb messenger video call works properly.
Furthermore the second microphone is not seems to working. As I remember it worked as a dictaphone mic.
Is there any solution? Somebody has the same problem?
Thanks for the answers, and thanks for the developers for theese great roms!

[Q] Samsung Gt-I9000 Mic Recording Issue

Hi all,
I have a problem with my galaxy S. It doesn't record audio in any app! also in videocamera. but the microphone works well in every call...
This problem is present in every Gingerbread+ Roms (also stocks) except MIUI/CM7 (in these Roms i can record everything).
i would like to install the new Value pack...but with this problem i can not insert this rom.
what can i do?
thanks in advance.
I never had any problems with the microphone ,but did you try to change the kernel ?
yes i tried a lot of kernels (semaphore, devil, voodoo)...i don't know what could be..
i tried also an external microphone...it's always the same! there is no audio also in apps like google voice but the calls are fine. for me there is a dirty file somewhere...but i don't know what i have to do...i tried to wipe it several things...

Issues with video call

Hello,
I have JB retail brazil installed in my phone, and have a problems with Tango calls and skype calls. When i make video calls, the front cam makes an excessive zoom and the other person can only see my eyes and my nose, i have to back up a meter so then can see my face. I see no one min this forum has the same problem as me, what can i do. I tried changing to other JB firmwares but with the European version I have the same problem with video calls and even lost my 3g network. I have changed to ICS and back to JB a lot of times. Can some one help me please??
I have the same issue
Hi, I have the same issue with videocalls on Razr i. But, when I'm using the camera software with front facing camera, the video is ok, with a good distance. I`m using the stock ROM from Motorola and the problem affects Skype and Hangouts.
Still

After some months and instaling several stock JB roms, i haven't been able to solve this. Do you have a development motorola razr i, I mean the development previous version before motorola released the final. where did you buy your phone (country)? what ROM is installed?
Same problem
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem with the same apps. I have a Razr i with original JB ROM from Motorola.
I try to find something on the web but untill now I didn't find anything to help.
I have the same problem with both Skype and Google Hangouts. I need to check out some other 3rd party camera apps to see if they have the same issue - or if it's just video.
Problems also on Tango
I've tested on Tango and it presented a "big zoom" as Skype and Hangouts.
It is a problem thats comes from the "conector" used by these apps. The stock camera doesn't show the same problem, mybe because it uses "another" way to access the camera hardware.
In order to test this, I installed Vignette and it doesn't show the problem.
So, there are at least 2 way to access the front facing camera, and the way that video chating apps uses shows the problem about de the zoomed video.
Does any one know something about a patch, an app, or did other tests to localize the origin of the issue?
Same Issue
No update to this thread? I tried a few ROMs; have the same issue as described above in Skype and Hangouts, camera app is fine, no zoom.
I had this problem and it used to happen while I was in the middle of the call. I solved it by going to /system/data/data/com.skype.../files/app.properties and changing this line [device.video.preview.zoom=true] to [device.video.preview.zoom=false] and then it stopped zooming right straight to my face

[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!

Please help with MIUI call quality

Hello..I'm using MIUI global beta ROM 7.5.11 and the one in the other side of the phone call has difficulty in hearing​ me property.. I had this issue since last two or three bata ROMs. It appears that the issue is more when I'm using 2g signal for the audio calls rather than with 3g. Does anyone have the same issue? Please help me fixing this.
Thank you.
I had a similar issue,but I am not sure was it because of 2g-3g difference or something else.People also complained they cannot hear me well during video calls (viber,whatsapp) over WiFi. Also, I had a problem hearing other people,depending on a ROM,and I changed a lot of them,a couple of MIUI's and almost every 7.1.2 that I could find here.One other bug that I have (had) is the bluetooth streaming which also varies from ROM to ROM.Yesterday I installed latest [ROM][OFFICIAL][OMS][7.1.2] Slim7 [WEEKLIES] (cancro),audio is great in both directions,bluetooth resolved after reboot.There are 2 SlimROMs I only tried this one.Hope this helps!
