i have had a lot of phones over the years and the evo when recording voice or camera has horrible sound quality when playback..... is there a tweak that improves the voice quality? ive compared it to my nokia 5530 iphone 3gs and a crappy photo camera.... still not as great....
.....wait for it......
Do u have that same issue?

the only tweak for audio recording that exists for the Evo is:
1) purchase a separate audio recording device of your choice
2) use gorilla glue to fasten the new (or used) recording device to the back of the Evo (make sure to leave the battery door of the recording device accessible, since this may or may not be a problem for some when choosing the proper orientation)
B) press record on the Evo and record on the audio recording device at the same time... otherwise your audio and video will be out of sync
A) when playing back clips, ensure that file on the audio recording device matches the video selected on the Evo - be careful to press play on both devices at the same time in order to maintain AV sync
5) you may wish to head down to the local army/navy surplus store for some fire retardant gear (protect yourself from the severe burns that will ensue from your original post).
this is a codec issue... we are stuck with AMR (at 8 or 12 kHz) until someone figures out how to get our hardware to work with another codec.

for audio recording only try recordoid, records wav files
Ya I agree I took some videos while in Japan and all the audio was **** great video crappy audio this part f the phone is worthless and i dont really want to wait its been 4 months and im pissed with htc
the camera recording on the Desire HD rom for the evo is way better
Hey guys, I'm almost there making the switch from an iPhone 3G to a DHD. I use my iPhone daily to record my lectures and it does a really good job at picking up what the lecturer is saying even when sitting towards the back of the lecture theatre - recorded audio is loud and clear with a good pair of headphones.
My question was - how is the microphone on the DHD when recording audio? I've heard the speaker itself is a tad on the weak and tinny side but I was hoping the microphone itself wouldn't suffer from the same problem.
I go to quite a few concerts and get a lot of really great videos only to check later and realize that the audio is completely distorted. This is true whether I'm at an acoustic show or and DJ Set with heavy bass. Is this just a flaw of the E4GT (and most smart phones) when recording videos that have really loud audio? Is this specific to the E4GT or do I just have a broken mic? It records just fine in non concert situations so I don't think I have an issue with the mic.
Thanks
If the audio source is too loud, it distorts.
I don't think the phone has a functioning agc for the camcorder. Automatic gain control. My canon point and shoot does within reason. Concerts? That's pretty darn loud!

This. Concerts can be VERY loud, way too loud for a crappy cell phone mic. There's nothing wrong with your phone. Even the acoustic show can be too loud, depending on how loud the PA is, and even if it isn't too loud, there still could be way too much background (ie. audience) noise for it to get a decent recording of the music.
My OG Epic did a fine job at concerts...heck even my old Touch Pro 2 did OK. The problem here is the lack of noise cancellation, and gain.

So its just a hardware issue. The mic can't handle really loud audio. Are there any software fixes or tricks to try and get better audio or is this just an issue that will get better as phones advance and use higher quality hardware for the audio recording?
You can try LG camera it's free in the play store, it has settings for higher audio quality.
I think if we had some kind of volume control for the Mic it would work

It's true. I'm on my 3rd E4GT, and all of them distort audio horribly when recording video or sounds. I haven't found a workaround. There is an app in the Play Store that can adjust input gain on the mic, but it won't work unless the kernel supports mic gain. The app is called HD2 Mic Control. When I open the app, it says my kernel needs something called
/proc/mic_level.
This is a terribly frustrating thing about our handset. The video recording is gorgeous, but the mic can't handle an acoustic performance from ten feet in front of the stage. Grrr!
Bump. Help!

EDIT:
I just found this thread for the HTC Leo:HD2. Apparently someone put out a Sense kernel with proc/mic_level support for microphone input level control. The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117084
I am clueless about development, but maybe one of our kind kernel devs would see if this could be incorporated into one of our kernels, so we can finally drop input gain and get some decent audio recordings with our phones? That would really help to make 2014 a much better sounding year. Just putting it out there.
Happy New Year, my XDA friends! All the best to you and yours! Cheers!
What kind of microphones does the m8 use?
Is it dual microphones or maybe another solution? There is no info regarding this, interested to see what they did with the microphones after the problem with Nokia and ST.
Also how is the call quality and the Sound quality when you video record in noise places, is it as good as the first HTC one m7 with the dual microphones?
Still no info about this
Sorry for bumping but i want to know
Hi!
I bought a selfie stick about a week ago and I'm having a problem with it. I bought the one that has a jack because I don't have to charge the stick and because i don't waste battery of the phone, but the problem is that when I try to record video with the camera app or with Snapchat, the phone catches the audio from the jack, so the video doesn't have audio. Does the phone have any option to make it record the audio from the phone microphone?
Thanks is advanced ^^
