Hey everyone. Is there a better microphone? I'm tired of recording video on this phone and having the audio playback completely distorted. I am trying to use my Hercules as a secondary video cam when I am shooting live music. It seems no matter loud or quiet the band is or where I am relative to monitors or pa speakers, the audio when played back is completely worthless and not usable no matter how I manipulate the audio track with filters, compression, removing background noise, etc... . If anyone has an idea other than buying a second GoPro videocam, I would gladly listen.

Hi folks
I've been using custom roms for some time now and getting pretty handy with tuning my dhd to my liking, but what irritates me is that all sound (music, tts, etc) is getting out of the back speaker (besides the camera) and I can't find an answer how to enable/redirect sound output to the front (call) speaker.
As i'm using miui for some time now i can't remember if the standard sense rom
used the front speaker for output (music, voice commands, etc)
Is there a way to enable that?
Good question. (I've often wondered which speaker the sound is even coming out of.) When watching YouTube, I'd like to have it coming out the front one. Do the speakers have the same output potential? (wattage)
No one knows?
its pretty unlikely that they will be the same power, if it was, htc would have already made use of it by using it aswell as the other speaker when playing music
We all know that the One X supports stereo recording while making videos.
I have tried this out by turning on music on my computer while recording with the HTC at the same time. I had my One X in the middle of the left and right speaker and i played with the balance on my pc from left to right.
When i playback the recorded video from my HTC One X on my pc i can't hear any difference when i'm panning (or balancing from left to right speaker) but instead hear both speakers all the time like it's mono..
So my question is what is really the difference with this Stereo recording compared to mono recording ?
I would have expected that i hear the difference in balance but i don't
Hey Guys,
I have a question, me being lame tried to record a live set from a dj without the video (I did not want to separate the two) but the built in audio recorder records only in mono....
Is there any recording software which :
- Stereo
- uses the full capability of the Microphone(s)
Thanks in advance!
I bought this phone to record stereo audio, but am having the same problems.
Does it record stereo video?
Then why not stereo audio!?
It really bothers me that no one has ever found a way how to bypass the camcorder lock on the stereo microphones.
I tried ALL RECORDING APPS on the market. And with every possible setting!
Everything is always mono. Using just the bottom Mic.
I Even tried nTrack and Fruity Loops, Field Recorder, etc.
Only way to record HDR Stereo Sound is by using the original HTC Camcorder app in 720p (to save storage space) and then to copy the audio out using
a converter. (I always set saturation to black and white, Exposure down to -2 and fixate the focus on a bright light to keep the overall video black to just save more space)
I then use Media Coder on Windows, or the MP3 Video Converter app that comes with TubeMate. No need to convert the audio, it just takes the audio track out of video without doing any alterations.
But still a big Problem. The Camera app always turns up the Background Light to 100% by default (and you can't even manually turn it down) so it eats up your battery.
(Any other camera app on the market doesn't do stereo either)
And the MP4 Video Files are huge compared to the AAC audio files, so no possible way to record stuff that's longer than 4 hours (unless you have several SD Cards and a Power Outlet at hand.
PLEASE!! If Any Of You Pros Are Reading This! Help Us!!!
I think it shouldn't be too hard to tear down the pre installed HTC Camera app programming, to find the key for unlocking the ways of Stereo Recording of Audio Only.
If I only had any programming knowledge I would try it myself.
But I can't even write a Pong game...

Hey guys,
This is a minor but annoying problem, and I know I'm not the only one.
Is there a way to enable stereo recording for purely voice recording? I've tried many apps(the included Voice Recorder app, easy voice recorder, even Recordr) and everything came up mono even after enabling the stereo option.
I assume its a system level lock, because stereo audio is enabled when the phone records video.
I need this too, I hope it can be enabled.
The HTC one has good recording quality, and is one of the very few that doesn't distort when there are high sound pressure levels.
(so concerts, etc). So potentially the best choice for musicians and people who like to record live music.
Because of the focus of HTC on getting audio recording right, it is unexplainable that stereo recording is only available in video !
If HTC fixes this, they really have an extra USP.
User [D4v3|R4v3] posted that maybe he can help to get it enabled, see:

Mine is not rooted (yet) so I cannot help with this one.
But hopefully HTC will also fix it, so it will also be available to users that don't have their device rooted. should be very easy i guess.
I really don't understand the reason to block stereo recording to other apps.
At least HTC should make stereo recording available in their own voice recorder app.
Hey all.
Been traveling for a few weeks so taking a lot of videos.
For the past week or so the audio has been terrible for recorded videos.
Some 3rd party apps like what's app and Snapchat have no audio when I record, but the main camera app does and it does really muffly and quiet.
What's odd is that if I record a voice note it sounds fine, so the microphone does work.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks for any help
You could possibly have one of your fingers on the microphone whilst you are recording. I have done that before and it makes the audio muffled or near impossible to hear.
