II use my phone(s) to listen to audiobooks using the built in speaker. Unfortunately, it is basically unusable on my new Moto Z2 Force:
Whenever theres a pause (as in silence), the sounds get artificially muted somehow, going as far as cutting off the beginning or end of words, making portions inaudible.
It is not caused by the playback software/app and seems to be always an issue when using the built in loudspeaker... no issue via bluetooth.!
i guess it's some bad implementation of noise supression... can this be disabled/fixed somehow?

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 all,
I've discovered a problem (not sure it is a bug, faulty hw, or just a setting) in my z1 compact. Seems that everytime a sound terminate (maybe because I stopped the spotify song, the sms song ends, etc) a strange, weird, sound continues to be produced for a couple of seconds.
I know it is difficult to explain: try to imagine when you register something with a microphone, then what you're recording finish and the silence is recorded as 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' like a distorsion or interference.
This is the issue. I've noted then during the night in the bedroom and when you've silence is pretty clear and audible. As is present with any sound, from internal sounds to videos and spotify, I think it might be a sw bug or a wrong setting somewhere.
Have you noted something similar or might you check?
thanks

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.
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)
Hello all.
With other, older cellphone models, I used to have the leisure habit of recording audio (messages or files) to save/send live songs recordings. Granted, the quality was never impeccable, but at least I could hear the bass notes (or their distortion whenever the sound source was near enough).
Now, whatever method of noise reduction (NR) the Moto G5S employs is ruining this experience. Hearing the bass is crucial for samba and capoeira. The NR kicks in after 2 or 3 seconds from the beginning of the recording. Does anyone know of a way to disable it?
