Every time I record audio with my phone (mostly voicenotes on whatsapp) the sound is really bad, I can hear myself clearly but I get so much background noise, and If I record a song that's playing it sounds real loud and messed up. Nobody has ever comlpained about the sound when they talk to me on the phone but compared to many other phones I've had I find this one to have bad mic quality. Am I the only one who feels this way? if not then has anyone tried some sort of fix for this? (assuming my phone isn't actually broken lol)

Hi,
Quick question about the way this device records sound. Its by far the best phone ive ever used to record sound, however i keep running into a problem with volume levels. It never stays constant and fluctuates depending on whether the sound is loud or quiet.
Now that wont make sense at first so heres a link to a video i shot in the studio with some friends.

Note at around 2:20 in the volume changes quite dramatically. I assure you, in real life the volume of the sound was constant throughout the song, the only change was that both guitars had stopped playing, thus decreasing the decibel level slightly (the guitar sounds at that point were from the effects pedals), which surely wouldve made it quieter if anything
I dont believe this a manufacturing defect as ive had it on the past 4 HOX's i owned, but perhaps more to do the way the sound is processed. It is the same result recording in mono/stereo/720/1080 etc.
EDIT Just remembered, i had to turn my speakers up all the way to hear that properly so the recording level is far too quiet as it is. I can barely hear it through the phones speaker.
Yeah got same problem,
I did turn the stereo off in video options which did improve it. Give it a go and turn the Stereo feature off.
The sound was not dropping as much,
I tested this out at a footy match.

Thats a temporary fix i suppose, it did improve it though it didnt fix it for me.
Does anybody know if this is something that is likely to be resolved by a software update? Or can anybody recommend any apps to record this type of thing with if it is a software issue.
Hi,
I had this problem before, but it has always gone away after a couple of minutes.
Since a few days (i tried multiple roms, sense and non-sense) my sound is totally distorted. It is impossible to hear anything besides noise. I cant call or listn to music or do anything that involves sound. It happens on both speaker and headphone, so i have high hopes my internal speaker isnt broken, but i have no idea how to fix this.
Thnx in advance

When I was listening to music earlier and watching YouTube, I heard a pop noise come from my speaker a couple times... My volume was only at half, so I don't know what the problem is. Does it sound like a hardware problem, and should I exchange my phone?
Also seems to happen sometimes when I start a song with Google Play Music and turn on the volume from silent
My G3 also makes popping noises and sound quality in general is pretty bad compared to most other phones I've had. I wonder if this is a known problem and if they have an easy fix.
I've noticed that as well. During a call I noticed that the earpiece speaker does not sounds good at all. It sounds like there might be something loose inside of the phone. Anyone else having bad phone call speaker quality?
Same here with the earpiece speaker. It was really frustrating. Strange was the fact that the problem was gone when I removed the back cover Also after HR the problem has been gone for a couple of days.
I had to get my money back for the device.
I don't know what happened but the headphone volume is now extremely low, to the point I have it in full volume and it sounds as if it was below half volume...
Does anybody know how to increase it?
I'm using the same headphones I always do, so it's not the headphones.
Something that can influence is the fact that, when an app like instagram plays an audio, the audio of the phone gets crazy after the app stops and the music continues. It can be extremely loud in one ear and regular in the other, extremely loud in both, or extremely low in both. Again, I have no idea why. I have not installed any apps that can mess up with the audio and this is really driving me crazy.
There is an OTA aviable, so I'll check if that has somethig to do, but meanwhile i'm getting stressed over this volume... even with headphones I can listen to conversations people around me are having...
I just recieved a xl 3 and the speakers/volume is absolutely horrible. I have searched bit for what ever reason I cannot find any fix to the problem. Is the volume being to quiet, even on speaker normal for the phone and is there a fix?
Thanks for any help.
Not sure exactly what issue you are having as your description is a little vague, but there is an ongoing issue with sound.

Sound
When talking on the phone using the ear speaker it is very hard to hear conversations. Also when on speaker phone it sounds like a a normal sounding ear speaker. If I play music I can only hear the music of I hold the phone right in front of me. About 1.5 feet from my face. Just wondering if this is normal? I also get a buzzing when I record video during playback.

Not normal at all. Factory reset it. If that does not fix it, send it back.
